You are a fantastic Story Teller!
Do this while sitting around a bon fire, Out in the Woods at night and I would jump Out of my skin even If a Cricket would cough
I agree with you.
Me too, you couldn't describe it better 😂
Imagine if he did a story review of each episode of squid game....
That is EXACTLY what I was imagining as I listened to this! I’d say Ocean, at some point, was able to get a big swig of the mead of poetry, because this man absolutely has the gift of a skald. I could listen to Ocean tell stories for hours.
Crickets are physically incapable of coughing.
Well, that takes the whole "Don't ever go to bed angry" and dials it up to 15. Don't let yourself die angry, either. And since we never know when we are going to die, I guess that means we'd better work through our conflicts when we can.
Don't put it off - challenge your foes to holmgang today!
@@blakewinter1657 OTOH, wasn't it Thorolf's problem, in the first place, that he just saw everyone around him as a foe?
@@CapriUni I mean, I guess I see him in that story as being evil not because he sees everyone as a foe, but because he sees them as targets to exploit
What a great positive take on it!
yeah its pretty universal, dont die angry
This story speaks to me of how hate and anger can affect others long after those originally involved are dead. It's scary how generations after his death, the cruelty and anger of Thorolf affects those who weren't even associated with him. And whose to say the remains of Glaesir did not return in some other form and haunt others in it's resting place? This is merely where the record stops, not necessarily where the story ends.
Story was great but you could read the phone book in that spooky voice and I'd probably listen
Brother, you would be an awesome DM.
The lore is fantastic, the voice is lovely and calming. The dad jokes are amazing.
This fucking terrified me, and I'm just about to go to sleep. You definitely have storytelling material.
Excellent! I have a new campfire story to tell my christian siblings
This could be the scariest dragur story that I have ever heard.
I'll admit it, when I'm telling stories to my friends I'm channeling Ocean the Necromancer!
That intro set up makes we want to give you the cold shoulder lmao. Maybe I should Dragur it out.
I appreciate you touching upon burials this week while talking about Dragur. Makes me excited to finish Road to Hel. Great video as always, Ocean :D
Going to a Halloween party with some friends dressed as Odin (as depicted in the Valhalla comics by Peter Madsen). I think I'm gonna suggest spooky stories and whip this bad boy out.
As one who enjoys tryin to explain myth and tales, this whole thing sounds an awful lot like Thorolf was in close contact with radioactive materials, or that his tomb and home were located near such sources, or the groundwater was tainted?! The fact that he didn't rot, but instead became misshapen and blackened seems a likely clue! And then of course the animals and their brittle bones and sudden deaths... Still a terrifying thing to see happen even today!!!
The weird cries of the bull? It sounds like maybe it was part aurochs. It is possible for domestic cattle and aurochs to breed- the male hybrids will be sterile, though the females will not. Anyway, aurochs (now extinct wild bovines) had very loud vocalizations. So maybe?
Time for another great Skyrim lore video from my favourite youtuber!
Honestly, someone needs to do a The Northman-style historically accurate film adaptation of this story; it's unquestionably gripping horror.
My first viking horror story, loved listening to this!
Couldn’t think of any draugr puns. Really excited about this one though. Curious to see if there’s skyrim related gags/puns
This is a spooky masterpiece 👻
your pfp is a spoony masterpiece lol jk
Greetings from Chicago! My GF and I recently started watching your videos. We love them and in my case sparking a sense of curiosity into Heathen faith. Can't wait for the next video. This one we watched while driving across rural Illinois with a thunderstorm in the distance, adding to the story.
I lived in GA for a few years so your mentioning of, people's reaction to anything they're not used to always makes me laugh. Anyway thank you for the content and I look forward to exploring this faith and it's stories more in the future.
I love this style, you are an excellent story teller. It fits the heathen atmosphere of your channel perfectly and though I do love the scholarly rigor and nonbias style of most of your videos I think we could definitely do with more of this "traditional" storytelling too.
Kick ass vid great for the month of Halloween 🎃
When in doubt, set it on fire
That was amazing. You're a great storyteller. I hope you will do more of these in the future as you're really bringing the old tales to life again. Truly a great necromancer. 😉
All of this! ♥️♥️♥️
Keep raising spirits
This was an amazing story. Thank you for sharing.
Is there any evidence to suggest that the Norse or even that the Germanic peoples had a concept of reincarnation? Because Thorolf’s whole descent started when he dueled someone over land; as a bull, he would have all the land he could graze.
I assumed it was a case of possession myself, but reincarnation is another valid interpretation.
I haven't heard a story I enjoyed that much in a long time. Thank you for that!
For every pun made, a draugr returns to seek revenge.
A masterfully told ghost story!
Cool, this would make for a good mini-series.
As a Skyrim player, I am interested in this particular subject.
So was there intended to be a moral or lesson taken from this story, I wonder? Or is this simply an ancient version of a revenant liken to the urban legend Hook Man or Jason Voorhees? If so, I bet some dude sitting at the campfire or hearth ended the story with "And this all really happened right here where we sit... Goodnight!"
Love the synth music in the background. Very John Carpenter.
One of my favorite filmmakers ^_^
@@OceanKeltoi Me too. Love myself some big trouble in little china and the thing. But when it comes to Draugr, they're more like the fog.
Like how your voice is at a low tone and talk slow but not to slow in a way that the information sinks in my might.
Love the sagas love the way you tell the story's
Came for the history and theology, stumbled on the stories - and I am here for it.
It's interesting how different cultures interpret how and why someone becomes an "undead". In slavic folklore you don't have to be a cruel or spiteful person to become a vampire (or any other kind of dangerous draught like creatures). It can happen to a young woman who never got married. It can happen to a man who was born with two souls. It can happen to a drowning victim. It can happen to anyone who never got the right burial. And yes, when in doubt always burn the body
Evil people often become evil spirits (without physical form and so potentially less harmful) who are unable to move on to the other side. Some souls even Satan doesn't accept
It is an interesting mix of pagan beliefs and Christian conception of afterlife especially considering that devils weren't considered 100% evil all the time. Why should you be scared of the pitful, little creatures when some vamipires don't have bones and can slip through the gap between a door and its frame?
If the Witcher has taught me anything is to burn the body
Masterful storytelling and perfect background music! Reminiscent of 80's horror themes, love it!
this is a really good horror story, and a really good reading. the music is just perfect too. i have done some reading into this subject and there were many kinds of draugr, some of them could change shape and some could cast spells, so they were far more dangerous than your normal undead. some draugr had vampire like powers, and they could be disfigured or possess great strength. i don't understand though why the bodies of the dead were not burned or chopped into pieces or beheaded straight away rather than bothering with burial as this would prevent them from returning later, i know that they do this later but it takes them a long time to try this. i have also read that one of odin's names is draugrdrotin or master of the undead, is there anything more that you can say about this?
Hey ocean! I love your voice and I have the habit of binge watching your videos while I do stuff. It is enriching as well as it is really soothing. I just wanted to say that I love hearing you and it would be incredible if you idk, turned it into a story telling series. I bet a lot of your followers love to hear your just as I do and it would be very successful. Anyway thank you so much for all you've been doing on the chanel 🖤 it's very guiding for me and makes me feel in a actual pagan community. I am brazilian and there was a huge norse and east european migration here (from which I descend) but pagans here are mostly dumb ass nazi folkists and that is terrible mainly when you don't have a safe space for practicing in respect while being a mentally healthy human being with the basic notion of how the world spins. That is, it's lonely here not because people are agressive towards our beliefs (worse case, they just don't take you seriously) but because the community itself is soo toxic. In this sense, even if it's not in presence your videos make me very happy and close to my beliefs and practices and make me feel that in a way I have some companion that's not terribly toxic 🖤
Awesome story . The 80s synth is a nice touch as well. Really starting to like this channel a lot
Man, I'd listen to you do full-on audiobooks. This is great, and a fascinating story.
I love the pun at the beginning.
Damn that was spooky.
I am totally telling this story to my kids!
I legit got chills from this story. Where's Geralt or Kratos when you need them
The 80s horror-synth music for the win, though.
You are a great story teller. Thanks, now i wont sleep tonight.
When the ambience and music comes creepin in 👌 4:10
Have you ever considered being a horror storyteller? This storytelling with the 80's horror music style in the background created an excellent ambiance in my living room. It's a shame I don't have popcorn. 🤘🏽🤘🏽
Just in time for Halloween
Awesome story
Had my imagination go wild👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
You're a awesome story teller
Perfect spooky storytelling, 13/10. Would love more of these
I love how you bring these tales to life!
Dam this story is freaky, why isn't there a horror movie based of it?
Secret cow lvl lol 😆 I haven't heard that in diablo 3 for years. Good video by the way it was very intriguing and interesting.
This was super interesting!! I would love to hear you tell more of these stories!!
I'm definitely going to tell this one next time I'm at a campfire
Qiilaan us dilon!
This channel is so damn epic. From subject matter to chosen content to storytelling ability to the sound of his voice to the music selections…it doesn’t get more quality than this 🏆
Such a good retelling!! Perfect for the season! I'd love to hear more about how the Norse viewed souls, for sure
I love the music kind of reminds me of one of the Halloween movies.
That's ripe for a horror movie! They could call it Twistfoot. 😳
These stories are fantastic, please make more like this! I wish I had more time to go through the old texts and translate and infer meaning properly. Please keep making great works like these!
It might be a small opinion to have, but my favorite part in learning about others religions are the stories. I really hope you make more videos like this, that would be amazing! 🖤
That was such an awesome story thank you for telling it
That story was awesome! And your delivery had me uneasy. Loved every minute
Very well told! Secret cow level 🤣
What an awesome spoopy ghost story. Definitely gonna play this for my kids 👻
SECRET COW LEVEL!
*Diablo Fistbump*
"Secret Cow Level" I got a good laugh out of that! Thank you.
Hail to the Cow King!
This was a good video
Ha Diablo joke at the end. Nice. Solid work as always.
I'm glad TH-cam randomly recommended me these
This was gripping. Thanks.
The way you tell anything is amazing, clear and informative. I take a lot of my inspiration in my spirit and in my story telling from you I run D&D type rpg and my party usually hates the influence lol
Ocean kelton ohhhh gosh ya have just aducha perfect seers/storytellers voice it just flows perfectly from word by word with this story and sent me into it and gave me shivers at moments like "but if ya herd..I seid he slept peavefully... as long as his son lived" I hope ya do many many more storys like this you just keep getting better at your storys and telling of them.
Proper creepy.
Great narrative an storytelling. 5 stars
It seems to me, based on this saga and several others I’ve read, that the Norse believed your “energy” sticks around long after you die. Thorolf Twist-foot was a treacherous old viking, and so the “energy” he left behind was foreboding and dark. It’s something I’ve experienced this myself. My beloved step-grandma passed over a decade ago now, and yet I swear I still feel her presence at her and my grandpa’s house, lightening the mood of the entire house. I still get this whimsical, youthful urge to rinse my hands off in my glass of water whenever I go out to eat(long story lol). And to this day, the smell of cigarette smoke when I’m out in public is weirdly comforting, even though I’d never smoke myself. Even when I was a Christian I believed our loved ones can stick around in some way even after they leave us, and when I was going through my “wannabe atheist” phase between Christianity and Heathenry I tried my damndest to deny it, but I still felt it. My step-grandma is regularly included in my ancestor rituals, and she’s one of the people who taught me, long before I was Heathen or understood the concept of ancestor veneration, that family is more than just blood and genetics.
Also, can we just appreciate that “not rotted, but monstrous in appearance” perfectly describes the draugr from Skyrim?
I even see how modern draugrs are much zombies than the classic ones.
I connect with this on a interesting level because I too have a twisted foot although it has since been surgically corrected so now it's so minor its almost unnoticeable
All hail the Cow Level!
Damn Norse tales from the crypt is crazy
The buildup to your puns keep on killing me.
Viking ghost stories. Very cool.
Amazing video gave me chills
Your story telling is on a whole new level!
Keep it up
Wow, just wow! More of this please!
Ah, the explanation to all the Draugr i slaughtered in Skyrim haha
My new favorite genre of horror: Old Norse Horror. ❤️
Excellent tale! Keep up the content of all you do!
I would love a video about the Norse concept(s) of the soul.
Absolutely one of the best I have ever heard!!!!
I could listen to you read these stories for hours!
This was amazing. If you have any other stories like this, I would love to hear them. 😊
This is how stupid i am, I was thinking when i saw the title:"Why the hell is Ocean talking now about Elder Scrolls Draugr?"🤣😅
I don't think I enjoyed listening to a horror story like this in quite some time!
This is awesome bro. You should do more stories like this. 👍
this would make an amazing horror movie
This is awesome!
That was fantastic!
