Pull off the Scooby Doo mask and it's their boss trying to scare them away before the third month so he doesn't have to pay them.
😂😂😂👏👏👏
Exactly what I was thinking. Or scare them for fun?
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.
Old man Smithers?! xD
True
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
@@saphireflare4183What doesn't seem to make sense.
What about the others?
They didn't go outside.
Everyone followed the rules except for his group leader.
But everyone but the main character disappeared.
@@justsoicanfingcomment5814 I suppose that is true, but it is the equivalent of knowing the fate of the Titanic and telling some of the passengers "hey, lifeboats are cool!" right before they left port.😀
@@RyllenKriel Possibly.
However, I think it's important to note that most of the lifeboats were not even half full when they were launched...😰
@saphireflare4183
They should have told them, what to expect. beside the rules.
#1 rule for overnighting in a lookout tower, PULL UP THE LADDER AT NIGHT!
Sleep on top the door so no one can get in without picking you up.
They don't need a ladder.
@@mikeb.7068 If they aren't coming in by helicopter THEY NEED A LADDER!

@@MostrandomM_toexisttoday Do YOU know that the best way to turn people off is by insulting them in the name of your fantasy deity that you can't prove exists?
I wonder if the rangers that disappear become fire folk? It wouldn't be the strangest thing I've heard. Great story that can keep me from camping in the woods.
Yep, heard of stranger things and seen a few similar.
I was thinking this as well.
They should be carrying a ,44 magnum . Not just for Bigfoot but bears too.
@@wizardofahhhs759 This over the top in size but if worried about dropping what ever a person may encounter in the wild. Grab a 460 or a 500 magnum. I believe those would drop an elephant.
Huh... that... is not a completely unreasonable theory
Hey sorry it's been a while! I hope you enjoy this one
Hope life has kept you too busy, in a good way. Happy holidays!
The last one was so long, we totally understand
Please keep the fire lookout content coming all your stories are great but these are always top shelf!
The last story was at least worth 2 stories xxxx
Like I said always worth the wait! Your narrations are not just a journey but a homecoming to a place where I am truly a part of the story.
😊
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.
The horror stories are spread from monster to monster about the fire towers, the lairs of the Florida Mans.
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.
@@christosvoskresyeNot true. At least in the west.
@@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.
It's not fair I tell ya
What the world coming to 😮😢
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
All you had to do to make the story scarier and effective, is change the era from Modern times to the 70s
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.
@@spliffboothI think this is because they started close to the end of the year. He mentioned getting through October, November, then needing to get through December.
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
Get your friend to write you a strange list of rules (whilst still being able to do your job) and live out your own creepypasta lmao/j
Working night shift at a plant is too man 😂
I work mornings by myself. That's when I listen to these stories.
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.
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.
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
14:30 Aww, he missed his chance to wave hello to the glowing person, break the tension.
I can’t imagine how long these take to make, the attention to detail is amazing. Even the CC are meticulous and go with the flow of your speech which is def not always the case. Bravo as always. Great story
That was spooky & extremely entertaining. I always wanted to be a ranger in the giant Sequoia forests.
I've camped there many, many times. The intoxicating smells & beauty is unsurpassable. I recommend it
to everyone.
Skin walkers are getting too smart. Now they're posting on TH-cam
@@voodoopup4376 U joking right? Cause I'm creeped out af!
Apparently, we have a TON of Park Rangers out there. But in all seriousness, I was a Wildland Firefighter, never heard or saw anything paranormal.
I am a fire lookout and wildland firefighter and I have never seen anything weird either. Haha. And I am waaaaaay out there - very remote.
Bro this base off a true story in Colorado in 1997
@@Adam-kk7nwyeah right
Its fake
@@furanduron4926 No kiddin’?
I want to say "I can't believe how fast your channel is growing and all the subscribers your getting" but honestly i expected it to happen. I've been listening to you for awhile now and all you've done is improve. I really do look forward to everyone of your uploads. Ive even went back and re-watch all your videos. You are good at narrating I hope that you and everyone else has a good weekend. (Amy)
I can’t see how this dude can have a normal conversation, it’ll just turn into a story and everyone would be compelled to listen
Thank you for uploading! We got married yesterday and are currently recovering 😂 We agree that curling up in bed at 3pm with our dog listening to Lighthouse Horror is the best way to start out mariage ❤
Curl up with a cat , it's also fun.
@@hellomoto2084 my new husband is deathly allergic to cats, otherwise we would indeed curl up with our dog, and a cat to listen to Lighthouse Horror 😅
I would find it difficult to forgive an employer for so callously putting my life at risk, to say nothing of the lives of my friends. I would seriously be tempted to start a fire on my way out.
i dont comment a lot in this kind of content in yt coz i mostly binge listen when im working. well, i took a day off and was just cooking a meal while listening to this, and i love it. thank you for the great story! listened to it while just sitting having some gin and a meal while enjoying a day off. thanks man
I hope therey a sequel to this story, but the good stories never or hardly ever have them. The narration was excellent .
I hope you are doing well during the Christmas season! Thank you for the wonderful, immersive, comforting narrations! In case I don't get a chance before: Merry Christmas, LH!
hey Merry Christmas Michelle!
@@LighthouseHorror 🎄
He gave me a smile which made it seem like he's never seen a dentist.
Smooth as silk that line. XD
I accidentally set my pants on fire once. These THREE RULES keep me alive.
I'm glad you survived!
My dog set me on fire once on the beach in Waldport Oregon
Stop, drop & roll 😂😂😂
@@db4life87 And the fourth secret rule, the most important one: NEVER LIE
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.
Stories keep getting better and better the story about renting a room to a family of vampires got me hooked watched that story more than once. Keep up the good work.
Me toooooo
Did I miss something? I don’t remember him talking about whatever the rules were that were left hanging on the fridge. I kept expecting them to come into play. Great narration, Stephen! 👏🎄❄️🌲
Someone has to be in the fire tower at all times
@@karizisa6310 and wear the uniforms, which never really was important (I was expecting an impersonator or something)
Don't go out after dark
@@Sig509It was the wearing of the uniforms that I missed.
Can you pay attention to what they're saying? He did went over them.
You have mastered the conversational read. You do a terrific job of performing the story. Have you considered doing any collaborations?
I would love to hear some sci-fi stories, cryptid stories, medieval stories, angel/demon stories. A new series would be great as well.
Did you listen to the 5 hour one " I inherited a cabin from my family " or something similar ? It's a 5 hour long adrenaline filled ride....
@janedoex1398 I've listened to all his really long stories but he hasn't done one of those in a very long time.
Also, I really love how you add something extra to these by partially acting it out. I'm looking forward to future videos from this channel.
im so addicted to this format where you physically tell the story in front of the camera. fellow subscribers, plz tell me if you know anyone else who does this for fictional stories!
My favorite guy! Love your work and skill Stephen. ❤😊
I'm feeling a central theme in a lot of these of self-sacrifice and commitment to one's newfound responsibilities, after the "I work at a gas station and I have some stories to tell" one, the "I know why my neighbors are disappearing and I'm next" one and even the "grandfather's ghost shields the living" one, which, my friend Saf tells me is the first one this channel did!
My compliments to the author-narrator on the use of recurring motif!
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.
You Mr Lighthouse Never do Disappoint.
Thanks a million for tonight's Entertainment my Friend
❤❤
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.
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.
😎♥️♥️♥️✌️
Great story! I feel like we could get some sequels or continuation of this ranger
Perfection, as always Stephen. Thank you for another phenomenally narrate story. 🫰
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.
You should absolutely go for a fireside aesthetic
Nice story. I enjpyed it. I know a lot of backpackers could easily see themseves in a fire tire at night and living in the tower cabin, making it easy to picture this spookly tale. Thank you.
So happy to see your upload! I was getting worried and going thru withdrawal. I'm going to make this short so I give my full attention. Thank you for the story and hope you're having a fabulous weekend!🤗💜⛄🎄❄
Stephen! My friend, how are you? Thank you for the incredible video!
How’s that vampire story coming along?
🔥🎄👊😎🎄🔥
as an introvert i'm fascinated with fire lookout tower stories ever since watching pewdiepie play Firewatch several years ago.
Happy Holidays, Lighthouse!!! Thank you for sharing your talent with us.🎄💙🎄
Thank you for all the stories, especially the rules stories, can't wait for more.
Woohoo! Hope your staying warm LH! Audio sounds Amazing!
you too!
These are great pieces of fictional writing being narrated. Just love how tge suspense is deliberately - and slowly - built up. Great job!! These would make a great book of short stories. 👍
Great story. Merry Christmas Light House. Hope 2024 has many more fantastic stories. I will be here waiting for them.❤
Apparently, Matthew McConaughey works fire watch. lol
That was another great story and I can hardly wait for the next one. Thanks so much!
You have a fantastic mannerism and inflection with your voice and just the right volume to be a master in telling spooky stories. In my humble opinion you have the style that has made your work an art . And in my many years on this earth I have heard many. (75 and holding ). I am a retired long haul trucker and I wish I had you on tape to keep me awake on those ten hours of night driving in the deserts out west. Oh yes I forgot to tell you I am a 75 years young woman, at long last to be at home baking cookies for my great - grand children. I turned in my truck and trailer for a rocker and stove. Keep those stories coming because I am going to live another 25 years. I want to feel what it is like to be a CENTURY OLD.
Awesome story needs a part 2 I wanna know more about the fire folk
Is it weird that I constantly come back to your channel to fall asleep to the soothing stories
Good night everyone!
Woods based creepypastas are always the best
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.
Yes we have missed you but it's always worth the wait!!!
Never stop! You are gifted ❤
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.
Ive missed your storys hope all is well! Merry Christmas
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.
Good stuff. Been binge watching recently. Love the channel.
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.
Have I told you just how much I adore you lately?
this is NOT firewatch bro
I was getting worried lol. So glad when I refreshed and seen the new story!
Dang, major storms here, Florida. Perfect timing. ❤❤
I took a nap listening to this and that dream was CRAZYYY
Omg yessss thank you!❤
Well done on the script. Sounds like a short story you’d read from a book
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 ❤❤
Love love love that story, your storytelling skills are beyond reproach .
Thank you for all your hard work 😊You are my favorite narrator by far!
"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%."
Your narration is the best, thank you for all of your hard work bringing these stories to life ❤
I am glad I found you, after creepypastajr disappeared I've been looking for someone who reads things like this.
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.
Sounds really good!
Always enjoy your stories, good to hear from you again, your fans, they're not going anywhere 😟 they're afraid to 😊
LOL. Good one!
So 4 ppl go missing without consequences?
This guy is more concerned with protocol than missing ppl.
40 minutes of my life I can’t get back.
Thanks for that amazing story ❤ LH you knocked it out the park again
Thought this was a redo at first lol thank you sir for another good one!
Ayeee daddy lighthouse is back! Lmao and with an exciting premise for the story
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!
I need more of this story
There must be another part to this!
❤ Lighthouse!! That hair though!
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.
awsome as always brilliant work
Great story I really enjoyed it…thank you 🙌🏼❤️
Outstanding video thanks Stephen 😎👍
Wow. Great story and narration❤😊❤
Bloody phenomenal story and narration
Love this! Merry Holiday!
So, rangers in the woods don't have a hunting rifle?
Man imagine only being alive because you took the ironically named "graveyard shift".
Your voice makes the story come alive
