Yeah, for people who were physically fit and were used to hiking, they had zero knowledge of the stars, how to use them for navigation, how to get fresh water, or make it, that water flows downhill, if there is water, or a river or creek, nothing to make a fire, no climbing gear, and no weapons for hunting. I get that it's a story, and that I shouldn't be nitpicking, but there are so many ways and so many things that you can buy, or make, to save yourself in a situation like this, especially if you know you will be hiking where there might not be any water nearby... I mean, they didn't even take the couple of seconds it would have taken to mark their trail, you know, so you can follow it back to where you started. And the more people you are travelling with, I would think the better the chances someone would know what they are doing. Oh well, Skott does an excellent job, and I love listening to his narration. I can't help being a smart ass sometimes. Sorry folks.
Old Yeller You should be klnitpicking, do you know how many stories with potential Empyrealinvective just absentmindedly deletes from the Creepypasta Wiki without a second thought, and his writing... If I weren't listening to this for the NaturesTemper ASMR value I dunno if I could handle it.
No. Skinwalkers wear the skin of animals to transform into them. Its native American folklore. Fleshgaits is the correct term. Skinwalkers cannot warp your reality, only shapeshift. They also are/used to be human where as fleshgaits are a cryptid.
Peregrinus Oblivione first off Skinwalkers are Kachinas, Malenches, and Matachinas that can disguise themselves as humans, ands other animals, they can warp your memory and perception, just like Coyete did the The Earth Eater. Secondly Flesgait is an etymological synonym for Skinwalker.
@HaloLoreNerd Or just have a bit of hackey slashey fun. Pretty hard to mimic someone when your head has been cleaved from your torso and turned into a nifty little trinket.
25:09 and 25:51... dude what the actual fuck?? Some of us listen to these to sleep you know why on earth would you make such terrifying sounds? Seriously tho scared me to death good job😂😨
Sorry, got caught up commenting. Great narration. I love that you incorporated the photos I dug up of the area for the story. I really felt like it adds a lot to the story given the beautiful scenery that would definitely fail if I tried to put it into words.
wow man, that was absolutely incredible! I have to say this is one of my favorites of all time. it has inspired me to write more n given me some ideas. I'd love to hear more stories like this or about these creatures, maybe ever part from their perspective.
Just wanted to tell you this story was amazing! I usually listen to these to go to sleep but then once all the random names started and I realized what was happening I perked right up lol so entertaining
@HaloLoreNerd It's cool that my story would be engaging enough to prompt a hike to that beautiful trail. Would you mind linking it so I can check it out?
What an incredible Halloween special, absolutely loved this one, unique and truly horrifying, in the right hands this could make an incredible film, it's got that Carpenter-esque potential
Funny I just made a comment sort of like yours. Just saw this but I agree. There are shit loads of stories and we just keep seeing the same films....sad waste.🙁
@Eammon Wright Oh I absolutely agree, his reading of the Goatman story is another one of my favourites, I grew up in woodland countryside so it really gets me in the nostalgic fear feels and I'll admit it's one of those ones I don't like putting on when I'm alone, the author adds just the right level of atmosphere and detail that makes your skin crawl cause it feels too real, I think xenophobic in it's truest sense means to be fearful of anything alien and strange, foreign in it's truest sense doesn't necessarily mean people from other countries, in medical terms you can get 'foreign objects' lodged in places they shouldn't be and I've heard authors describe things such as mountain ranges as 'foreign', I'm pretty sure xeno/xenos is a Greek word in origin and means alien which I'm pretty sure literally translates as 'different', yeah :)
@@laurametheny1008 In a way though I'm kinda happy about it, having a film adaptation brings with it the worry that it could be a terrible film which would then represent the story in the eyes of the wider public, I feel like stories such as this one are so good because they're created purely for the sake of story and not for money, HP Lovecraft is another person I associate this tale with
@@thehypest6118 Just a heads-up, The Anansi Goatman story did get a pretty interesting student film that handled the material pretty well (I think it was called Weirdo). As for Fleshgait being made into a movie, I'd have my doubts as a lot of the premise is built on not knowing names or being able to recognize faces. Additionally it might be hard to convey the memory implantation aspect effectively without telegraphing it. I think watching John Carpenter's The Thing is probably the closest we're going to get to an imposter/doppelganger horror movie so I'd be hesitant to try and have it come out less than what I was hoping for.
If you're the 5th wheel, you carry the weight of the baggage... Just look at a semi tractor (big rig). Better to be a unicycle... It's not for everyone, but it's fun for those that master it. Edit: Gila is pronounced "Hee-la" BTW. 💛 from Arizona... Where we have Gila Monsters.
This is one of the better skinwalker stories I’ve heard. That Anasazi goat man story also works well. Here, the narrator’s social anxiety explaining how he can see the monster is believable and even makes him sympathetic. The idea of a social monster that slips in from the periphery grounds it in something common. The skinwalker is a better monster than that Slenderman. Your voice is perfect for bedtime.
I subscribed out of politeness cuz u read my story but now I'm actually a fan! You're so underrated as a narrator and you read stories I've never heard of. Keep it up homie
I had to pause and check the spelling because I seriously thought you were pronouncing Jessica wrong the entire video. Apparently that is a real name, but it pulled me out of the story every time. Nothing against you specifically, I just feel I need to mention that.
Natures Temper you need to pop into the comment section more often so people can thank you "in person" for the LACK OF ADS and the great narration. Its also a good way to build a relationship with your fans and to grow your fanbase. Great job as always much appreciated.
@@cahal9247 When researching Fleshgaits , I came to the conclusion that they were similar to Skinwalkers. I originally wanted to have them as Skinwalkers, but I liked the idea of them being different from traditional Skinwalkers. I drew a lot of inspiration from The Silence and the Mind Parasites from Rick and Morty and wanted to try and incorporate them into Evan's more personal recounting.
Travis Kuhlman I find your response interesting. They are basically what you get if you mash up a Wendigo, Yandelushi (Skin-Walker), and Rake. I've just wondered exactly what they categorize as, Cryptid, Extraterrestrial, Demon, etc.
@@cahal9247 I classify Cryptids as creatures that have been witnessed/rumored to exist (Bigfoot, The Maryland Goatman, Ya-Te-Veo, etc.). Wendigos are more interesting due to their historical significance and cultural-bound mental disorder. I liked that concept so much that I wrote a Wendigo Psychosis series here (creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/User:EmpyrealInvective/My_Stories#At_My_Most_Human_State_Series) if you want to waste an hour or so. I'd classify Fleshgaits as cryptids if I had to categorize them as Reddit has a lot of stories about them (although they are nebulous in how the author chooses to write them). Thanks for reading and listening!
One of the scariest stories yet. I loved the extra length on this one! These videos are my usual "bedtime relaxation" videos so the lengthier, the better 🖤 This one in particular got a bit personal for me or rather put personal experiences in monster form for me. I grew up with a manipulative, now estranged, mother. She would prey on my vulnerabilities and even convince me of memories that didn't happen. All I could think of through the whole story was what I went through with her and the emotion involved, especially towards the end. Great story. Great imagery and emotion. Keep up the great work as usual and of course, Happy Halloween 👻
Why is it no one has a firearm of any type in these stories ??? I wouldn't go near the woods without at the bear(see what I did there) minimum my 10mm & 44mag or 454 Casull. I'd make someone else carry the .308 AR-10 & Shotgun !!! Yes I'm paranoid but prepared...
I'm at 56 min and this is a great story. Just realized that these creatures act like the parasites from Rick and Morty. They should have asked about bad memories
I'm *pretty* sure she wasn't, reason being that there was no further mention of her at the end post-rescue. It also ties in with the fact the narrator clearly makes a point of being a 5th wheel at the start. It's more of a clever plot device imo, setting up this lonely, socially awkward protagonist so we can get a genuine feeling for/empathy towards being manipulated by the flesh gait. It gives him what he most wants twice, first with Amy, then when that gets found out, it creates a completely fictional girlfriend for him. It's the final line that confused me slightly, as it's sorta implying the protagonist has had a realisation that his social anxiety is actually part of a deeper psychopathy or something. Which I guess would make sense, but it's just a bit of a segue and a little out of keeping with the rest of the tale. Unless there's something I'm missing!
Their clothing is removable, theirs isn’t really without being caught. That and some tally marks written on your arms for number of people their, anytime the number goes up have everyone half remove their close, then whoever refuses swallow your emotion and beat them!!!!!
Plot twist: there was only one of them that was all the females and was an outcast and liked the protagonist, felt bad for what it was doing, and wanted to be his waifu and have shapeshifter babies with him 💔😭 now who's the real monster
I think I have some kind of mental disorder that would make me immune to what the author seems to be feeling at the end of this. The memories would mean nothing to me, those were things, not my friends, not people. Even if they gad been once one became an enemy I feel nothing fir them, I would just be destroying an enemy in Heather. The author thinks they are a monster at the end, to me they are a survivor, I would gave likely felt venomous furry towards that thing making me think I had a life with it. I would have beat it with my bare hands after the stick broke until it was nothing but a ruin of flesh. I wouod have slapped my brothers teeth out fir believing that things lie.
I got so fucking lost halfway through but I didn't want to spoil anything for myself. I read the creepy pasta up until I got lost and went back and slowly started mapping out the names then again to double check and then kept going from there.....Why can't I be this dedicated in all aspects of life?
54:28 do you guys think the creature actually fell in love with the protagonist?? (Probably not) But Had it gained an identity the night ? The night it pretended to be the other girl. (The point in the story he pointed out He had gone to his cooworkers party The party he went too and decided not to go in.) Anywho its trippy.
Oh I hate this stuff so much. The worst part is how much sense it makes, the perfect predators for social animals like us would be stuff that had some memetic effect on the social parts of our brains and turn the thing that normally makes us strongest into a weakness :c
This is the best creepy pasta style story I have heard to date, that was an absoloutely horrifyingly beautifully told mindfuck and I want more, are there any similar stories to this one that I can listen to? This has just set a new standard in my humble opinion.
Micah Boarts Did you make this comment and never take the time to listen to the story to form a verdict? If you did listen, what's your opinion? Cringey misuse of your apparently precious "fleshgaits", or no?
I am so adapted to dehydration and lack of sleep that this would have no effect on me and I would have just been skipping all the way like a happy lizard running across the desert to find the next rock to rest on.
Flesh is a very interesting word. It is always an almost derogatory term for meat. Whenever you say or wright it, it is used in a bad situation. Her fingers dug into my flesh.
Thought I might throw my limited knowledge in here if you're still interested; the word flesh actually comes from the German word fleisch which does in fact just mean meat. I think the negative connotations might be to do with the German language sounding quite violent/confrontational in contrast to others. That said when I was looking into it I found out that one of the ancestors of the word did actually mean 'to tear/peel off' which is pretty creepy.
Uh Sara seemed to be trying to tell you guys shes the one, potentially trying to actually help you, and instead of confining her to confirm you hit her in the face and yell at her. She didnt bail as soon as her jaw was fucky, Homedawg with fake MS tried to attack as soon as Narrator tried to confront him,
It’s purposefully inconsistent. Heather’s skin should have came off. We know that from when another creature was pushed, but there needs to be an explanation as to why she wasn’t as worn down as the others. Also, there was an extra the first time that there was six of them. If Heather was real, then the base number should be six unless someone else was a fake. If that were true though, that would have been discovered when they were at the hospital. When they got they got their regular guys, it would be really obvious whether or not Heather was real. There would be pictures. She would have friends and a family. People would be looking for her. It just doesn’t add up.
@@godwavenexus I think the biggest proof heather was a fake, was that she started talking about what they wanted. Sure this could just be her best guess. But in these sorts of stories those wild assumptions of the shapeshifting monsters motives tend to come from the monster. Also there's really no reason to assume that they only wanted the weakest. Specially when they probably could have quite easily gotten them all.
I forgot how beautiful your voice is, it’s like a drug and, yes TS lyric, “I be using for the rest of my life.” Or as long as you keep reading us bed time stories. Maybe I will send you a story and maybe I will make the cut...lol
I thought it said “fleshlight”
Was thinking its an hour long story about a haunted fleshlight doing evil deeds
I read it the same way. But thought it was a cursed flesh light. And the guy who used it last, gets sucked in and becomes the flesh light
Can just imagine the deed its been done and its introduction “long ago, and ancient civilization of witchcraft. Construction an evil artifact called the fleshlight. Little is known about this”
🤔😱🤣⚰
That sounds like a new chapter for "runners"
You know my friend joked about buy one for weeks but then he saw the price and if you don't know what fleshlight is DO NOT GOOGLE IT!!!

This is the only “fleshgait story” I’ve found that’s actually about a fleshgait instead of a skinwalker, wendigo, goatman, or rake.
This is a skinwalker... But the scariest part there was staying a week at a US hospital... imagine the cost.

Of course Jerry is one of them
That has the be the creepiest shit, how he's able to just add random names as if it's nothing yet it goes along with the story.

Thank you for including the pictures in the original creepypasta.
Their clothing is removable, theirs isn’t really without being caught. That and some tally marks written on your arms for number of people their, anytime the number goes up have everyone half remove their close, then whoever refuses swallow your emotion and beat them!!!!!
So that's why everyone in these stories ends up dead AND naked 🧐🤣 could never figure out that element. That could be it
Goddamn it, I read this as "Fleshlight"
Lugia21 demon flesh light it’ll take your junk to hell!!!
Lugia21 lmfao
That was scary good.
“I kissed her”
My man
EDIT- FUCK NEVERMIND, I DIDNT LISTEN THAT FAR
Yessica more like hell da fuck nossica
Awesome Story!
Plot twist: there was only one of them that was all the females and was an outcast and liked the protagonist, felt bad for what it was doing, and wanted to be his waifu and have shapeshifter babies with him 💔😭 now who's the real monster
I think I have some kind of mental disorder that would make me immune to what the author seems to be feeling at the end of this. The memories would mean nothing to me, those were things, not my friends, not people. Even if they gad been once one became an enemy I feel nothing fir them, I would just be destroying an enemy in Heather. The author thinks they are a monster at the end, to me they are a survivor, I would gave likely felt venomous furry towards that thing making me think I had a life with it. I would have beat it with my bare hands after the stick broke until it was nothing but a ruin of flesh. I wouod have slapped my brothers teeth out fir believing that things lie.
I got so fucking lost halfway through but I didn't want to spoil anything for myself. I read the creepy pasta up until I got lost and went back and slowly started mapping out the names then again to double check and then kept going from there.....Why can't I be this dedicated in all aspects of life?
Holy fuck I'm 24 minutes in and the conflicting numbers of people foreshadowing that theres more creatures is fucking me up lol
54:28 do you guys think the creature actually fell in love with the protagonist??
(Probably not)
But
Had it gained an identity the night ?
The night it pretended to be the other girl.
(The point in the story he pointed out
He had gone to his cooworkers party
The party he went too and decided not to go in.)
Anywho its trippy.
Oh I hate this stuff so much. The worst part is how much sense it makes, the perfect predators for social animals like us would be stuff that had some memetic effect on the social parts of our brains and turn the thing that normally makes us strongest into a weakness :c
Awesome job! You really have talent. Hope all the animals you study appreciate you!
So was heather real ?🤔
Oh dear god how did you get a picture of my crazy ex sheelah for the thumbnail. Lol.
"Fleshgait"
"Fleshgate"
"Fleshaid"
"Fleshbait"
" *Fleshlight* "
25:09 Imagine listening to this to fall asleep and then hearing that frickin’ voice.
Gila with a hard G?!
For shame.
It’s Hee-lah.
Should've gone home to hot pockets but nooo gotta be out in the woods with no GPS and samurai sword or guns
This is the best creepy pasta style story I have heard to date, that was an absoloutely horrifyingly beautifully told mindfuck and I want more, are there any similar stories to this one that I can listen to? This has just set a new standard in my humble opinion.
i like it
gila pronunciation kept throwing me off because i'm from the southwest. i got over it.
Thank you , for everything.
Started out fine but the lame star crossed lovers story kinda took me out of it
Pronounced like 'Heela'. Sorry. Couldn't help it.
Hope this isn’t just another cringey misuse of fleshgaits, I don’t want them to become just another thing interchangeable with wendigo and skin walker
Micah Boarts Did you make this comment and never take the time to listen to the story to form a verdict? If you did listen, what's your opinion? Cringey misuse of your apparently precious "fleshgaits", or no?
I am so adapted to dehydration and lack of sleep that this would have no effect on me and I would have just been skipping all the way like a happy lizard running across the desert to find the next rock to rest on.
You're not happen to be a nurse? :D
@@Furzkampfbomber no, I’m not, and I’ve taken care of my dehydration problems more recently.
Ah a desert rat I see
The best bedtime stories....... EVER!
::edit:: You are an amazing narrator btw! Seriously, if you narrate audio books I will buy them
That Sarah creature voice terrified the shit out of me
Flesh is a very interesting word. It is always an almost derogatory term for meat. Whenever you say or wright it, it is used in a bad situation. Her fingers dug into my flesh.
Thought I might throw my limited knowledge in here if you're still interested; the word flesh actually comes from the German word fleisch which does in fact just mean meat. I think the negative connotations might be to do with the German language sounding quite violent/confrontational in contrast to others.
That said when I was looking into it I found out that one of the ancestors of the word did actually mean 'to tear/peel off' which is pretty creepy.
"Her fingers dug into my meat."
Amazing as always. Skinwalker/Goatman stories always send chills down my spine more than any others.
Uh Sara seemed to be trying to tell you guys shes the one, potentially trying to actually help you, and instead of confining her to confirm you hit her in the face and yell at her. She didnt bail as soon as her jaw was fucky, Homedawg with fake MS tried to attack as soon as Narrator tried to confront him,
🧐🧐🤔😂
Rick Sanchez and his damn parasites!!
This may be a dumb question, but is this a true story??
You are amazing NT keep em coming, HAPPY HALLOWEEN! CHEERS! ♡♡♡

NO HE KILLED HIS GF AND THAT THING MADE HIM THINK HE NEVER HAD ONE, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
It’s purposefully inconsistent. Heather’s skin should have came off. We know that from when another creature was pushed, but there needs to be an explanation as to why she wasn’t as worn down as the others. Also, there was an extra the first time that there was six of them. If Heather was real, then the base number should be six unless someone else was a fake. If that were true though, that would have been discovered when they were at the hospital.
When they got they got their regular guys, it would be really obvious whether or not Heather was real. There would be pictures. She would have friends and a family. People would be looking for her. It just doesn’t add up.
@@godwavenexus I think the biggest proof heather was a fake, was that she started talking about what they wanted. Sure this could just be her best guess. But in these sorts of stories those wild assumptions of the shapeshifting monsters motives tend to come from the monster. Also there's really no reason to assume that they only wanted the weakest. Specially when they probably could have quite easily gotten them all.
Happy All Hallow's Eve Skott.

This story was told with such ilinx. Well done.
TIL : ilinx. Thanks for the vocab increase.
I forgot how beautiful your voice is, it’s like a drug and, yes TS lyric, “I be using for the rest of my life.” Or as long as you keep reading us bed time stories. Maybe I will send you a story and maybe I will make the cut...lol
