Man these stories are the only thing that help me keep my sanity at work. Sometimes I re play them 3 or 4 times if it’s a good one. Working night shift as security is boring.
sometimes it's better boring than dangerous, but some adventure really wouldn't be so bad. I have a weird idea to get into working nightshifts anywhere when I'm around thirty lol
I worked in security 12 years ago. My first job was a 12 hour night shift at a new document storage facility. It didn’t yet have a security or fire system installed as they were waiting for a specialised system to come. I just had to sit in the front office watching movies and drinking coffee and occasionally go out the back to make sure the piles of documents were ok. I loved it. Of course that ended and had to do mobile patrols, driving all over the city. The weirdos really do come out at night. The guy before me did one night and never came back. I left not long after. Way too many locations to hit and some places 3 times a night and alarms in amongst the list I had to follow. Was on the go all night trying to keep up. The good easy jobs never last.
Interestingly enough, the largest number of crewed fire lookouts seems to be in Florida. Given just how many horror stories about fire lookouts there are I wanted to know how common of a job this actually is. I didn't do an exhaustive search, but so many of them are automated now that it's fairly uncommon for one to actually have people in it. Kind of like lighthouse keeper used to be a relatively common job, now lighthouse maintenance guy is the best you're going to get.
I grew up in Overstreet, FL. There was a fire tower there when I was growing up manned by, interestingly enough, Mr. Marshall. That was his name, as well as an aptronym. I'm sure he has long ago retired and died. Hurricane Michael blew over the tower, and it has not been rebuilt. Between drones and automated cameras, I'm under the impression that manned fire towers are going the way of manned lighthouses.
@@DS..69 WHAT is not true? That the Overstreet tower was blown down? That it has not been rebuilt? Sorry, those are facts, not speculation. You can see it lying on the ground in the overhead view of Google maps; the street view shows it some time later, after the fallen tower has been cleared away. I last visited the area a little over a year ago, and there was no evident concern that the tower was really needed. I assume, then, that you are saying that the Mark 1 Eyeball will remain the best way to detect forest fires. Maybe. Maybe not. Either is just speculation.
I love the rules genre. I couldn't get past the fact that so many didn't make it but no outcry from the families or news reporters. And the change of door from trap to front. Still I listened to the end and it was narrated so well.
Yeah, you have to not look for holes in stories like this to enjoy them, but when the holes are this obvious I can't suspend disbelieve enough to enjoy the story any more. There are good elements here, but multiple people just can't disappear from the same place year after year with no scrutiny. You hear about people disappearing previous years where you now work and you have access to the internet and you don't research it. You don't attempt to take pictures or video to show your disbelieving coworkers. You don't attempt to reinforce the trap door. Then you're like, " Some people I worked with for 3 months (some of who I grew close to) didn't survive a scenario where they were purposely put in harms way without their knowledge, but I got a job from the people that hazed my coworkers to death, so I guess I help murder people now. Cool, I guess I'm a psychopath now.
This story was narrated well but its still pretty annoying 😒 so much talk about fire people, for the story to never explain what they were or the relevance of shining extra bright come Xmas 😂 what a let down
Additionally: there were times, in the first act, where the probationary period was mentioned as a year, while the rest of the times mentioned 90 days.

Did you know that you’re a sinner? But did you know that Jesus loves you and He can change that, all you have to do is believe that He died on the cross and rose from the grave 3 days later, repent, and accept God into your life, it’s your choice, Jesus loves you.
I admit my biggest curiosity is why they didn’t radio in seeing a glow in the trees for over an hour as fire watch trainees, even if you think it’s a supernatural entity. At least you could find out if they think you’re pulling a prank (unknown) or an awkward “don’t worry about it too much” (well, I guess I’m not seeing things). That and why they didn’t actually show the other two rather than tell them. But these kinds of stories require a certain amount of suspension of disbelief and lack of examination to be properly effective. Good work on the presentation! Really well done visually and auditorily.
My main gripe was how the protagonist keeps information a secret that may pertain to the safety of the others - including his fellow-believers. He is taking away their freedom of choice in the matter and pretty much endangered their lives. Unforgivable.
Man, I’d love a part two to this. MC either tells a group of prospects how to prep, or him coming across other things. Or a closer encounter with the fire folk. Idk it’s just a great story with lots of potential yet to unlock I think

I really like that you've started being in the videos. I like having a face to the voice. It adds a nice little touch that also adds to the uniqueness.
I was in the Army. And when I was in basic training we did our FTX, basically we stayed in the woods for days. And Idk if I was just so tired and tge lack of sleep. But one time, when the sun is setting and the woods is getting dark, the trees started to form like human soldiers, We were in a prone position and this trees are moving slowly getting into form like they ate mirroring us. I was creeped out but I know it must be my lack of sleep. Then I was telking my buddy about it and one of my buddies over heard me and she said she saw the same thing, but doesn't want to say anything coz she might be kicked out for being cuckoo. So idk, it might be the trees really reforming themselves
WOW Stephen you are so close to 600k❗️I feel excited for you really. I always enjoy the woods stories with the fantastical creatures. Thanks for the hours & hours of entertainment & distraction from my life❗️ You have really helped my mental health @ times more than you will ever know. 😎♥️♥️♥️✌️
That was an excellent story. NO APOLOGIES NECESSARY. I just watch your most recent video over and over. Really love this particular one though. Maybe it's because I have a picture, a few pictures of one firefolk in my phone. It is just one being but it is a series showing it jumping onto the ground and the standing up. The pictures were from trail cam.
Super happy to see there’s a new story from u. Totally enjoyed every minute of it. U md Mr creeps are my nighttime ritual. It would be epic if y’alI 2 would do a story together. My kids said Im addicted nd I agree😄.. Just wanna say thanks for the stories nd I hope u md urs have a Very Merry Christmas nd an Awesome New Year.
Loved working in my live in firetower. Other than a giant bird that stomped on the roof one night and had a 15ish foot wingspan, nothing strange. Well, except perhaps the night the trap door was pushed up in an attempt to be opened, with no sounds of steps creaking as they should have during the climb. Had a cool moutain lion that hung around. Being literally in a thunderstorm was scary, though. The tower would twist and sway in the wind. Best complaint was the stars keeping me up at night because of how bright they were.
Well that's a pretty immoral gig this guy took on! He takes 5 hirees out to their deaths without warning them? I was surprised he was even willing to work for that park ranger after finding out he did this on purpose. What happened to the other 3 in the cabin? Did they just not have a chance because they weren't in the tower? That doesn't seem very fair, and he didn't even tell the boss about it the next day, even though he told him about the campers the day before, and even got a visit from the ranger, but I guess the 3 missing recruits was less important
Honestly this story made me angry I was thinking about how they actually do sacrifice kids just to see if any survived I mean damn at least inform them of the dangers so they can prepare and hopefully survive
Completely agree, MC actions in this story were annoying af, "I decided to keep the secret" "so I just decided not to say anything" when he could literally just show the other kids?? And it could possibly be a danger to them? Then when he finds out they were basically sacrificed he just rolls into a park ranger position. And has zero problems sacrificing 5 kids every 3 months to these things. Suspension if disbelief is one thing in these stories and I am willing to give a lot of leeway there, but this was just a disappointing and annoying MC in what could have been a great story, lol.
I know it was not addressed but I had an idea that the fire people are the people who didn’t survive the test. Suffering a grim fate if whatever else was in the forest did not get them they become fire people for the next batch of recruits.
Thank you for all the stories, with this great undertones of uncertainty and creepiness. I have the pleasure to enjoy a lot🙏❤️ And of course you have the right story telling voice, that’s so important. I wish you and your family a really amazing Happy Christmas 🎅🏽. From Kristina in the cold Sweden, promise I stay out of the woods ❤❤
I have to bet this guy is a trained actor. Maybe couldn't find a leading role, so he made his own. I always wonder if actor types just look in the mirror and say "I should be a movie star!" In any case, I'm glad for the channel, it's a good measure better than Netflix that's for sure!
There are literally 2 different horror computers games set in fire towers that I’ve seen in the last couple of weeks. A Wendigo one and a wrong turn type one.
I actually had a US Forest Job as a kid. It was a good job. I was the only one at the lookout. My 3rd year I was assigned to Smokejumping in the Pacific NW for 3 years. Later I took the skills I had learned and became a Chicken Inspector at America's largest plant. I worked up and got pretty good inspecting those "Red-Eyed Cluckers" This was the best job I ever had! I'm retired now. But I'm still an expert Chicken 🐔 Inspectors. I'm not sure if you could pass the test to be a USDA Chicken Inspector, but you might try!
I'm a huge fan @LighthouseHorror. I travel for work and work long hours when I'm on a job. I play your videos on speaker while everyone works. They help the time pass faster. Can you do more "rules" stories? Love the channel 👏👍
Jack Keruouac worked as a fire lookout one summer and compiled writings that became "Desolation Peak". The actual name of the mountain top he was stationed on. Pretty much all he did was kill mice.
I love how Keller dumps these probationary recruits in harm's way without warning or much advice. Great storytelling as always though!
He DID give the most important advice though. He said that the thing they would want most was the trap door

My favorite guy! Love your work and skill Stephen. ❤😊
❤❤
Fire tower/ rangers are definitely my favourite ones to listen to!
Amazing! Loved this one
Me too. I love hiking and being outside, but rarely get to do so. Basically living vicariously through these stories as weird as that sounds.
Thunder Storms with lightning all around the tower. It is more dangerous going down the stairs... just stay in the tower and turn everything off
You should absolutely go for a fireside aesthetic
I was in the Army. And when I was in basic training we did our FTX, basically we stayed in the woods for days. And Idk if I was just so tired and tge lack of sleep. But one time, when the sun is setting and the woods is getting dark, the trees started to form like human soldiers, We were in a prone position and this trees are moving slowly getting into form like they ate mirroring us. I was creeped out but I know it must be my lack of sleep. Then I was telking my buddy about it and one of my buddies over heard me and she said she saw the same thing, but doesn't want to say anything coz she might be kicked out for being cuckoo. So idk, it might be the trees really reforming themselves
Ah, the shadow people. You'll see them a lot in the field, especially during night landnav.
Perfection, as always Stephen. Thank you for another phenomenally narrate story. 🫰
Woods based creepypastas are always the best
Ive missed your storys hope all is well! Merry Christmas
Yep, I liked it.
Yep, I would have reinforced the hell out of that hatch and lived on beenie weenies and raman until I was relieved of my post.
Yes we have missed you but it's always worth the wait!!!
Woohoo! Hope your staying warm LH! Audio sounds Amazing!
you too!
Great story. Merry Christmas Light House. Hope 2024 has many more fantastic stories. I will be here waiting for them.❤
as an introvert i'm fascinated with fire lookout tower stories ever since watching pewdiepie play Firewatch several years ago.
WOW Stephen you are so close to 600k❗️I feel excited for you really. I always enjoy the woods stories with the fantastical creatures. Thanks for the hours & hours of entertainment & distraction from my life❗️
You have really helped my mental health @ times more than you will ever know.
😎♥️♥️♥️✌️
Love love love that story, your storytelling skills are beyond reproach .
Dang, major storms here, Florida. Perfect timing. ❤❤
I was getting worried lol. So glad when I refreshed and seen the new story!
Good night everyone!
I had started to miss the light! Thank you!
That was an excellent story. NO APOLOGIES NECESSARY. I just watch your most recent video over and over. Really love this particular one though. Maybe it's because I have a picture, a few pictures of one firefolk in my phone. It is just one being but it is a series showing it jumping onto the ground and the standing up. The pictures were from trail cam.
Never stop! You are gifted ❤
Your narration is the best, thank you for all of your hard work bringing these stories to life ❤
Thought this was a redo at first lol thank you sir for another good one!
Stephen! My friend, how are you? Thank you for the incredible video!
How’s that vampire story coming along?
🔥🎄👊😎🎄🔥
I took a nap listening to this and that dream was CRAZYYY
Good stuff. Been binge watching recently. Love the channel.
Super happy to see there’s a new story from u. Totally enjoyed every minute of it. U md Mr creeps are my nighttime ritual. It would be epic if y’alI 2 would do a story together. My kids said Im addicted nd I agree😄.. Just wanna say thanks for the stories nd I hope u md urs have a Very Merry Christmas nd an Awesome New Year.
Ayeee daddy lighthouse is back! Lmao and with an exciting premise for the story
Well done on the script. Sounds like a short story you’d read from a book
Loved working in my live in firetower. Other than a giant bird that stomped on the roof one night and had a 15ish foot wingspan, nothing strange. Well, except perhaps the night the trap door was pushed up in an attempt to be opened, with no sounds of steps creaking as they should have during the climb. Had a cool moutain lion that hung around. Being literally in a thunderstorm was scary, though. The tower would twist and sway in the wind. Best complaint was the stars keeping me up at night because of how bright they were.
Well that's a pretty immoral gig this guy took on! He takes 5 hirees out to their deaths without warning them? I was surprised he was even willing to work for that park ranger after finding out he did this on purpose.
What happened to the other 3 in the cabin? Did they just not have a chance because they weren't in the tower? That doesn't seem very fair, and he didn't even tell the boss about it the next day, even though he told him about the campers the day before, and even got a visit from the ranger, but I guess the 3 missing recruits was less important
Honestly this story made me angry I was thinking about how they actually do sacrifice kids just to see if any survived I mean damn at least inform them of the dangers so they can prepare and hopefully survive
Yes.They did not have a chance.
Who says they died. Disappearing doesn't automatically mean death.
Also relax, it's just a story.
Completely agree, MC actions in this story were annoying af, "I decided to keep the secret" "so I just decided not to say anything" when he could literally just show the other kids?? And it could possibly be a danger to them? Then when he finds out they were basically sacrificed he just rolls into a park ranger position. And has zero problems sacrificing 5 kids every 3 months to these things.
Suspension if disbelief is one thing in these stories and I am willing to give a lot of leeway there, but this was just a disappointing and annoying MC in what could have been a great story, lol.
I know it was not addressed but I had an idea that the fire people are the people who didn’t survive the test. Suffering a grim fate if whatever else was in the forest did not get them they become fire people for the next batch of recruits.
Happy Holidays, Lighthouse!!! Thank you for sharing your talent with us.🎄💙🎄
Have I told you just how much I adore you lately?
Thank you for all the stories, with this great undertones of uncertainty and creepiness. I have the pleasure to enjoy a lot🙏❤️ And of course you have the right story telling voice, that’s so important.
I wish you and your family a really amazing Happy Christmas 🎅🏽. From Kristina in the cold Sweden, promise I stay out of the woods ❤❤
I have to bet this guy is a trained actor. Maybe couldn't find a leading role, so he made his own. I always wonder if actor types just look in the mirror and say "I should be a movie star!" In any case, I'm glad for the channel, it's a good measure better than Netflix that's for sure!
Thanks for that amazing story ❤ LH you knocked it out the park again
Always enjoy your stories, good to hear from you again, your fans, they're not going anywhere 😟 they're afraid to 😊
LOL. Good one!
Bloody phenomenal story and narration
I am glad I found you, after creepypastajr disappeared I've been looking for someone who reads things like this.
"Other places are so dangerous, with a 99% death rate. As a qualifying training regiment, you will be put in an area with a death rate of *only* 90%."
There are literally 2 different horror computers games set in fire towers that I’ve seen in the last couple of weeks. A Wendigo one and a wrong turn type one.
Omg yessss thank you!❤
Wow. Great story and narration❤😊❤
Great story I really enjoyed it…thank you 🙌🏼❤️
Outstanding video thanks Stephen 😎👍
Your voice makes the story come alive
I love me some lighthouse horror stories
hey! hope you're having a good December
@LighthouseHorror I am.
Looks like your channel is doing well, posted 15 min ago and 555 views.
Your content is great, thanks for what you do.
There must be another part to this!
“It never reached his eyes.” Loved your prose
Thank you for all your hard work 😊You are my favorite narrator by far!
I actually had a US Forest Job as a kid. It was a good job. I was the only one at the lookout. My 3rd year I was assigned to Smokejumping in the Pacific NW for 3 years. Later I took the skills I had learned and became a Chicken Inspector at America's largest plant. I worked up and got pretty good inspecting those "Red-Eyed Cluckers" This was the best job I ever had! I'm retired now. But I'm still an expert Chicken 🐔 Inspectors. I'm not sure if you could pass the test to be a USDA Chicken Inspector, but you might try!
FSIS Consumer Safety Inspector here, at the Tysons in Cumming, GA. Have been looking at chickens for 17 years.
I enjoy your spooky stories! I listened to about 3 of your stories.
Another great story told by the best storyteller. Thank you, Stephen! ⚘️🙋♀️
Sounds really good!
I'm a huge fan @LighthouseHorror. I travel for work and work long hours when I'm on a job. I play your videos on speaker while everyone works. They help the time pass faster. Can you do more "rules" stories? Love the channel 👏👍
Jack Keruouac worked as a fire lookout one summer and compiled writings that became "Desolation Peak". The actual name of the mountain top he was stationed on. Pretty much all he did was kill mice.
Bravo for the special effects!
awsome as always brilliant work
