I really love the tone you use when reading these. Most other horror readers use a dramatic voice, but your’s sounds like someone casually telling a story to some of his buddies.
Although I agree with the tone, maybe slowing down the speed slightly would improve the atmosphere. At times, it felt like you were trying to get through this story as fast as possible and move on with something else. I'm still very much impressed with this channel and will come back from time to time!
@@RoanokeTales Yeah. Maybe some more emotion relating to the position you’re in as you’re telling the story (for example, in the story about the evil Lightning McQueen, you could’ve added a little bit of fear or exhaustion in your voice since the protagonist is in a motel shortly after what took place. However, in this story, it does make sense.
I love the stories where people don't die. It somehow makes them scarier, because everyone has those creepy moments where you are completely unsafe but you end up fine.
it also makes it a whole lot creepier because a creature that just wants to kill is understandable. animals kill people all the time for a variety of reasons... but if it doesn't actually try to kill anyone that means it's not just an animal. you have to wonder what are its motives, what is the end goal, and just what is it thinking. that uncertainty is really spooky on a whole new level.
It's good because you actually show emotion and it sounds like it's your story, I think making it more personal and adding in more of your own vocabulary you use regularly will improve them
The extra person aspect of this story. Holy shit. And that ending. Props to that absolute legend for pretending to sleep and keeping tabs on it the entire time. That was an amazing narration.
I love this story of the Goatman. I've heard someone narrate it before and have read it a few times, but I love the way you narrate it. It literally sounds like a buddy of mine walked over to me and was like, "Dude, I gotta tell you about the creepiest thing that happened to me this weekend." And proceeds to tell me this story. This story is so creepy and gets under my skin because of how Goatman just straight up messes with these kids when he could have killed or hurt them at any given moment
Even though I had heard this story before, your voice and how you narrated it felt nice, and even made the story feel a little believable. You should definitely keep doing more of these readings, especially ones that deal with spooky woods stuff. But overall you did a pretty good job with this. Will definitely subscribe my bro.
This gave me chills and an urge to grip my M1A. I've heard this story on another channel but hearing you tell it with some emotion makes me feel like it's a whole new story. Another solid vid my guy.
It's weird to hear you curse, but it's a nice change to hear you just making a vid without having to worry about youtube screwing you Edit: the extra person part gave me BAD chills. I was trying to just vibe and play some minecraft to get all the achievements and this shit made me not even wanna go into the woods by my house with my full enchanted netherite gear. Amazing story telling bro, at 1st the lots of cussing threw me off because you cant even say gun on your main channel, but by the end I was shitting bricks like I was there. The notification bell is on, can't wait for more
This particular story had SO MUCH CUSSING in it haha not all of them will be like that but I am glad it had that effect! And Im happy to hear you enjoyed it :)
This story is bone chilling every time they count each other but honestly after the 2nd time idk how they didn't just watch eachothers faces and be on look out for an extra one
I love how the video ends as soon as the story's over. A lot of these types of videos/channels go into a "post-analysis" that take the wind out of the whole thing. I also love the delivery. It's the kind of casual but emotive tone you hear from a witness re-telling it. Love the channel so far! :)
@@RoanokeTales Lol as someone who watched just about every Roanoke Gaming video (hoping for a Dead Space 4 just so you can continue analysis on the DS series), I feel this channel is a nice different type of content and well presented. Keep up the good work! (across all your channels :D ) (And as I write this, I see there's a new upload! I know what I'm doing for the next 51 minutes)
Man I come here after watching your cabin fever video where you talked about this channel and of course this one is talking about the town I live in currently (Huntsville Alabama)
@@RoanokeTales I'm not much of a storyteller, so forgive me if it's a little short. This happened about fifteen years ago give or take a year or so, my memory is kinda foggy on the event. I spent the majority of my childhood on a reserve which was right beside a pretty large lake compared to other lakes of the area. So my cousin, let's call him B, and I were playing around outside, doing whatever kids did on a hot summer day, and B's grandfather comes out from his house and asks us if we would like to go with him to his trailer on the other side of the lake and us having nothing better to do said "yes" excitedly. So we jumped into his old chevy and we drove for what felt like forever, which in reality is only a 40 minute drive. But you know kids, time seems to pass by slower when your sitting still. I feel myself get heavy and I fall asleep on the way there. I'm jolted awake by a quick shove from B and him telling me that we're here. So we jump out and we're about to go and play but B's grandfather stops us and tells us to be careful and to not go into the surrounding woods, we didn't think much about it and we ran straight to the water to play and cool off. B's grandfather went off to do whatever he went there to do. A few hours went by and the sun starts to get close to the horizon, we start to get hungry so we bug B's grandfather to start a fire so we can roast some hot dogs. By the time we're done eating the sun had already past the horizon and it started to get dark and a little chilly. So B and I are huddled by the fire lighting little twigs on fire drawing stuff into the dirt around the fire pit. B's grandfather runs inside to grab some pop for B and I and we were left alone for what was probably only 50 seconds or so. In that time B had noticed that it got eerily quiet like not a peep from anything, including the mosquitoes, and we heard branches snap from the treeline and it started to smell really bad like roadkill left on the side of the road in the summer heat for a week. B is focused on the direction where the sound came from but I have a feeling that something is staring right at us from behind. So I turn around, expecting to see like a deer or something, and I see what looks like a huge grizzly about twenty feet away. It was standing on it's hind legs, but not like how you expect a bear to stand like paws outstretched to the front like a normal bear but it's paws was by it's side like a human. It looked scraggly, decayed, like it was dead for a couple weeks or so and the hide looked like it was just hanging off the bones of the creature. I'm frozen with fear and B is still looking the other direction, the silence is shattered by a single rifle shot aimed straight at the creature by B's grandfather and the damn thing just punches straight through the creature, it didn't move, no blood came from the wound. The sound jolts me out my paralysis and scares the ever living shit out of B, by the time B turns around the creature is gone, I didn't even see it move and B's grandfather comes racing to us, grabs a burning branch from the fire pit and leads both B and I to his truck, yells at us to jump in and lock the doors and to close our eyes and plug our ears, we can hear the fear in his voice as he's barking out orders. He goes off with the makeshift torch and searches around the trailer for the thing. A couple of minutes go by and we hear a knock on the window and it's B's grandfather telling us to open the doors now it's safe. that's all the time I have for now I gotta go to work I'll finish the rest of the story when i have the time
The talking without cadence.... It gave me goose bumps because ive heard that before, smelled that smell before. The thing was just lonely. I debated stopping this early because i got too creeped out. 2 more vids to go!
The way you tell these stories man, gets my skin crawling. It dosen't help that I have a REALLY over active imagination but these scare the crap outta me 😅. I'm addicted to listening to them...even if I end up standing in the middle of my room with all the lights on having a panic attack. Love you Roanoke!
I love this man(no homo) especially his voice. I suggest using small sound effects to add to the realism and maybe slow down cause I had trouble keeping up but I guess thats just me haha! Keep it up man I hope to see way more content cause you're my favorite channel.
I'm glad I watched this in the wee hours of the morning instead of at night, that would've been a bad idea. Freaky stuff my dude, keep up the good work!
I always watch this at night, with the lights in my room turned off and the only light entering my room is from the lights in the hallways cause I live the door open
My love that his movie explaining you almost never hear cursing, but hearing it as often as you do in these stories is always so funny to me, love the content so much tho
This is terrifying. The way you read it was more disturbing than the actual story lol. Good job Roan. Keep up the content and don't get bloody demonetized
Jesus Christ, this is one of the few stories that gave me chills. Long story and I'm bad at writing, so bear with me... I repressed this memory until I heard this. I'm from Louisiana and have had a bunch of spooky things happen my family in my lifetime, but this really hit close to home. About a dozen years ago, my brother had joined the National Guard and we went to get him after graduating boot camp. On the way there, we stopped at a fairly empty motel in Oklahoma, near Fort Sill. My brother had some down time before he had to do something else, him and 5 guys in his unit hopped in the truck and went back to the hotel to drink/rest/swim. Of the 6 other guys in total, I personally knew 2 (my brother being one). Most of us went swimming, and after about an hour, the weather went from being 90 degrees and sunny to maybe 60 and raining, but we only went inside after we heard thunder. After swiping the card and opening the room's door, I was hit by an awful smell and could tell by the look on my brother's face he smelt it too, but the others seemed unfazed by it. I figured one of the guys jerked it in the microwave and set it on high for an hour. So we sat in the room and I watched as they passed a bottle around and talked. I couldn't stand the smell, so I kept suggesting ideas for places to go and each time I said something, the thunder would get louder. Once the storm died down, we stood outside the room, resting on the rail and some of them audibly breathed a sigh of relief and my brother said "what the fuck did you do to make that smell?", asking the general group. They all made remarks like someone else left a beefer in the toilet or something, and since they had recently gone through their gas mask training, it was unpleasant, but not as bad as CS gas. I got the group somewhat sober and we headed to a Walmart to get some munchies and along the way, I looked in the rear-view mirror and noticed that we were down a guy. I told my brother, who was riding shotgun, "did someone stay behind" and pointed out the back. He looked back and counted a few times, opened up the rear window and yelled "shit, Diaz, do a head count back there!". "Uhh I'm countin' 4!" he yelled back. "Well who stayed at the hooker station?", asked my brother. "Uhhh... No one. Everyone got up and left at the same time. Y'know marijuana affects the memory, right." replied Diaz. Right after him saying that, another one of the guys said he remembered a fifth wheel riding back with them, while the others said there was only 4 of them in the back and he was just saying there was a fifth because he's still drunk. We looked around for some candy, "ready to microwave" bacon, and cans of spaghetti and meatballs, and heard the sounds of police car sirens, fire trucks, and ambulances race by outside. We shrugged it off saying the storm probably knocked a tree over in the road and someone hit it or something. After we checked out, we got back in the truck, did another head count and went back the motel. As we pulled up to the motel, we saw about half a dozen cop cars and the fire truck and ambulance. Our first reaction was "fuuuuck, hope we can at least get back to the room". We parked and walked around to the back where the room was and immediately the owner/manager guy pointed at us and said "THEM!!!" while talking to someone who looked like a cop was writing something on a his small notepad. I quietly said "okay, everybody stay calm, drinking in a hotel is legal in Oklahoma, right?" and the group nodded. I stayed motionless while the cop approached us and said "please put the bags down and stand over here" gesturing towards the back of the parking lot. The cop asked me to step aside and we walked a good 20 feet and the cop asked me if I knew everyone in the group. I told him "Well, that one was my brother, the kinda fatter one, that's his friend. The other three, I don't know. They graduated from the National Guard stuff recently and I went out of state to get him." Cop goes "Six of y'all? Okay, and is that all?" I paused and said "yessir". He asked "you weren't with anyone else...? The manager said you were with another guy that looked like [gave general descirption]". I could feel my heart sink and I replied, "well, that describes four of us. They're in the military... Well, National Guard, they're all relatively thin, medium height, not really fat, but not swoll, they all have really short hair..." "Alright, go back there and I'll be with you." He pointed with his pen. I knew the cop described the guy that went missing and I told my brother and the other guy "we did have a number 7 with us, right? When I picked you up, y'all 6 hopped willy nilly into the truck, right?" and us 3 agreed. "What's the powwow for? What'd the 5-0 want", Diaz said while he walked up to us. "We were just saying that we were just imagining the extra guy and the cop didn't really say." The manager walked up to us and basically cussed us out as something came over the cop's radio. The cops looked pretty shook up, got back in their cars and most of them sped off, with the one who questioned me, walking back up to me, causing the manager to step aside, and told me "you're fucking lucky punk" and eventually he sped off too. The manager yelled at us more before we just asked him what his deal was. Before he could say anything, his cellphone rang and he answered, talking erratically and then yelling in some foreign language. In so many words, he was accusing us of killing some women. Saying "THAT GUY" with us looked shady and since he's not with us, he's obviously guilty, and while we were gone, he went to his brother's hotel and killed some people there. We called him crazy and grabbed their duffel bags and loaded up the truck, since most of the others lived in Louisiana too, I offered to just drive them back too. The worst part was the long silence on the way back, coupled with the reality that something wasn't right and no one knew that other guy's name and don't remember a name patch being on him anywhere. By the time I got home with my brother, we passed a bunch of motels several more of them had cop cars all over the parking lot.
I read a theory on this story about a year ago that was pretty interesting. The goat man is lonely and not interested in harming humans at all. Given that it’s the only (or last) of it’s kind it shapeshifts amongst groups of humans in an attempt to understand them better and enjoy the company in its own way. It can make itself look like us but it doesn’t fully grasp how to mimic normal human behavior, hence the stares and slack jawed gaze of the copies. This comes across as scary to the teens but it doesn’t intend for it to be. The stare at the end of the story is essentially it saying a silent “farewell.” Doesn’t really account for the disappearances of the people though.
This was great! On a side note, as a Native American from Northern Wisconsin, we also have stories of a Goatman. There’s warnings not to whistle at night, and Goatman is one of them. If you do while outside, he mimics your whistle. Then from different stories I’ve heard, different things happen. Sometimes it’s a simple taunt, to keep you from not being foolish at night. Other times he pursues you for a while. Also I got a chuckle, at what I’m guessing was your pronunciation of “Menom”’ like the word “venom” at 5:12. If that’s the word, it is pronounced “muh-nahm”. Short for Menominee “muh-nah-min-ee”.
The man tells the story just as u where standing next to him ,natural as one person just telling u how it is in a normal every day way, very important real deal great work
You're the man keep it up I recently broke two of my arms so now all I do is lay in bed and listen to TH-cam and you're one of the main channels I listen to thank you for keeping me entertained in this s***** time
To repeat what other people are saying, you're doing a great job! I gave up on creepypastas for about two years now because all of the writing was overthetop and ridiculous and the storytelling was overly dramatic. You managed to sound like you're telling a story to your friends. Like, I've heard friends tell me scary stories that happened to them in the same way you did, and it scares the crap out of me XD Keep up the good work!
I love how you just read it normally, many channels try to do a spooky voice or add some unsettling music, which often makes the whole thing appear less serious
subbed & belled. I can see myself coming back to this channel every so often an binge watching these vids while i game, (try) sleep at night (or midday), or just sitting in my room with the lights off alone. i very enjoyed my time here.
How are you dancing so gracefully around TH-cam's damned rules? My brother had a youtube channel and one video got taken down when he said 'hell' Also this story scary as heck. The way you were reading it helped xD
Just found out you had this channel because of the Cabin Fever video, funny thing this video was posted on my birthday. Wish I had noticed it then it would have been a fun thing to watch on it since I love your content and Goatman stories.
This is legitimately my favorite story you've read. Ya girl grew up in a very similar area, almost makes me nostalgic of how creepy camping in these kinds of trailers was.
I genuinely enjoyed these types of stories, not that I believe all of them but hey, there isn't smoke without fire. Point being roanoke I think that is a great new channel for you and I would love if you keep uploading this type of content.
About a year ago I found your channel. And then lost it when I couldn't remember the name because I'm subscribed to so many. I have tried to work my way down the list but I'm literally subscribed to 1000. (My regular YT channel. Not this one.) Storming where I live and decided to look up "Alabama cryptids". Clicked on yours in search results. Low and behold❤🎉
One thing that entertains me about this story is technically it never actually tried to harm anyone, just scare them. Basically less of a monster and more just a jerk XD
I would love to know the normal speech patterns of the person who wrote this story, because it's either written brilliantly, or it was written by someone with a very juvenile vocabulary, and I really cant decide which.
Man, sounds like this goatman just wanted to have a good time and hang out with some hommies in the bush. He's just a little socially awkward. Can relate.
FYI: If you are swimming in a creek near Huntsville, Alabama, it's probably late spring, summer or early Fall. It's not dark at 7pm until Nov- Mid March. Details matter when you are watching this in Alabama around the same time of day it's supposedly happening and it's still light out.
I really love the tone you use when reading these. Most other horror readers use a dramatic voice, but your’s sounds like someone casually telling a story to some of his buddies.
Thats exactly what I was going for!
Roanoke Tales Well you fucking nailed it
Although I agree with the tone, maybe slowing down the speed slightly would improve the atmosphere. At times, it felt like you were trying to get through this story as fast as possible and move on with something else.
I'm still very much impressed with this channel and will come back from time to time!
@@benjaminleonard1996 im pretty sure it just happens naturally cause most of the time when i talk to family they tell me i talk to fast
@@RoanokeTales Yeah.

I love the way you told this story. It's relaxing to hear scary stories in a less... Overly dramatic way
Well thats pretty good to hear then!
@@RoanokeTales keep up the good work! Can't wait to listen to even more stories :D
WOOOOO

Thank you for the feed back bro, I really appreciate it!

Checks out

11 minus 4 equals 7. I had to go back and make sure he said there were 4 girls and 4 guys. I like the clever details to this scary story.

Keep up the good work, super excited about this channel!
I am happy to hear this!
I watched many horror story channels, and yours is the first to actually spook me the hell out. Excellent work my man!
Ngl i require a hour long comp of you just reading spoopy stories.
As the channel builds that can be arranged! haha
Roanoke this channel is fire I actually love the storys
The talking without cadence.... It gave me goose bumps because ive heard that before, smelled that smell before. The thing was just lonely. I debated stopping this early because i got too creeped out. 2 more vids to go!
Go on.....

“There’s this kid named Tanner” me: welp I’m dead

It’s really immersive when he curses as much as 15 year olds would
Been watching everything from both his channels this the first vid I see him cursing like a sailor and I'm fucking here for it.
My love that his movie explaining you almost never hear cursing, but hearing it as often as you do in these stories is always so funny to me, love the content so much tho
I hope you do more of these, fantastic narration, man.
I absolutely will! :)

This was my first Roanoke story and the first time I’ve heard of goatman, and man is this one my favorite of all!
props to tanner, I couldn’t have kept my cold blood seeing someone new just walking out of the bathroom and laying down
Jesus Christ, this is one of the few stories that gave me chills. Long story and I'm bad at writing, so bear with me...
I repressed this memory until I heard this.
I'm from Louisiana and have had a bunch of spooky things happen my family in my lifetime, but this really hit close to home. About a dozen years ago, my brother had joined the National Guard and we went to get him after graduating boot camp. On the way there, we stopped at a fairly empty motel in Oklahoma, near Fort Sill. My brother had some down time before he had to do something else, him and 5 guys in his unit hopped in the truck and went back to the hotel to drink/rest/swim. Of the 6 other guys in total, I personally knew 2 (my brother being one). Most of us went swimming, and after about an hour, the weather went from being 90 degrees and sunny to maybe 60 and raining, but we only went inside after we heard thunder. After swiping the card and opening the room's door, I was hit by an awful smell and could tell by the look on my brother's face he smelt it too, but the others seemed unfazed by it. I figured one of the guys jerked it in the microwave and set it on high for an hour. So we sat in the room and I watched as they passed a bottle around and talked. I couldn't stand the smell, so I kept suggesting ideas for places to go and each time I said something, the thunder would get louder. Once the storm died down, we stood outside the room, resting on the rail and some of them audibly breathed a sigh of relief and my brother said "what the fuck did you do to make that smell?", asking the general group. They all made remarks like someone else left a beefer in the toilet or something, and since they had recently gone through their gas mask training, it was unpleasant, but not as bad as CS gas.
I got the group somewhat sober and we headed to a Walmart to get some munchies and along the way, I looked in the rear-view mirror and noticed that we were down a guy. I told my brother, who was riding shotgun, "did someone stay behind" and pointed out the back. He looked back and counted a few times, opened up the rear window and yelled "shit, Diaz, do a head count back there!".
"Uhh I'm countin' 4!" he yelled back.
"Well who stayed at the hooker station?", asked my brother.
"Uhhh... No one. Everyone got up and left at the same time. Y'know marijuana affects the memory, right." replied Diaz.
Right after him saying that, another one of the guys said he remembered a fifth wheel riding back with them, while the others said there was only 4 of them in the back and he was just saying there was a fifth because he's still drunk. We looked around for some candy, "ready to microwave" bacon, and cans of spaghetti and meatballs, and heard the sounds of police car sirens, fire trucks, and ambulances race by outside. We shrugged it off saying the storm probably knocked a tree over in the road and someone hit it or something. After we checked out, we got back in the truck, did another head count and went back the motel. As we pulled up to the motel, we saw about half a dozen cop cars and the fire truck and ambulance. Our first reaction was "fuuuuck, hope we can at least get back to the room". We parked and walked around to the back where the room was and immediately the owner/manager guy pointed at us and said "THEM!!!" while talking to someone who looked like a cop was writing something on a his small notepad. I quietly said "okay, everybody stay calm, drinking in a hotel is legal in Oklahoma, right?" and the group nodded. I stayed motionless while the cop approached us and said "please put the bags down and stand over here" gesturing towards the back of the parking lot. The cop asked me to step aside and we walked a good 20 feet and the cop asked me if I knew everyone in the group. I told him "Well, that one was my brother, the kinda fatter one, that's his friend. The other three, I don't know. They graduated from the National Guard stuff recently and I went out of state to get him."
Cop goes "Six of y'all? Okay, and is that all?" I paused and said "yessir". He asked "you weren't with anyone else...? The manager said you were with another guy that looked like [gave general descirption]". I could feel my heart sink and I replied, "well, that describes four of us. They're in the military... Well, National Guard, they're all relatively thin, medium height, not really fat, but not swoll, they all have really short hair..."
"Alright, go back there and I'll be with you." He pointed with his pen.
I knew the cop described the guy that went missing and I told my brother and the other guy "we did have a number 7 with us, right? When I picked you up, y'all 6 hopped willy nilly into the truck, right?" and us 3 agreed.
"What's the powwow for? What'd the 5-0 want", Diaz said while he walked up to us.
"We were just saying that we were just imagining the extra guy and the cop didn't really say."
The manager walked up to us and basically cussed us out as something came over the cop's radio. The cops looked pretty shook up, got back in their cars and most of them sped off, with the one who questioned me, walking back up to me, causing the manager to step aside, and told me "you're fucking lucky punk" and eventually he sped off too. The manager yelled at us more before we just asked him what his deal was. Before he could say anything, his cellphone rang and he answered, talking erratically and then yelling in some foreign language.
In so many words, he was accusing us of killing some women. Saying "THAT GUY" with us looked shady and since he's not with us, he's obviously guilty, and while we were gone, he went to his brother's hotel and killed some people there. We called him crazy and grabbed their duffel bags and loaded up the truck, since most of the others lived in Louisiana too, I offered to just drive them back too.
The worst part was the long silence on the way back, coupled with the reality that something wasn't right and no one knew that other guy's name and don't remember a name patch being on him anywhere. By the time I got home with my brother, we passed a bunch of motels several more of them had cop cars all over the parking lot.

The goat man just sounds like he’s a little lonely :(
Lol thought the same thing. Just wanted to have a sleepover with the gang
This is a great story. You’re reading the story a bit faster than your more recent vids, but still great. Genuinely a scary story.
I read a theory on this story about a year ago that was pretty interesting. The goat man is lonely and not interested in harming humans at all. Given that it’s the only (or last) of it’s kind it shapeshifts amongst groups of humans in an attempt to understand them better and enjoy the company in its own way. It can make itself look like us but it doesn’t fully grasp how to mimic normal human behavior, hence the stares and slack jawed gaze of the copies. This comes across as scary to the teens but it doesn’t intend for it to be. The stare at the end of the story is essentially it saying a silent “farewell.” Doesn’t really account for the disappearances of the people though.
If it wanted a hot dog it could of just asked, Who doesnt want a goatman as a friend?
This was great! On a side note, as a Native American from Northern Wisconsin, we also have stories of a Goatman. There’s warnings not to whistle at night, and Goatman is one of them. If you do while outside, he mimics your whistle. Then from different stories I’ve heard, different things happen. Sometimes it’s a simple taunt, to keep you from not being foolish at night. Other times he pursues you for a while. Also I got a chuckle, at what I’m guessing was your pronunciation of “Menom”’ like the word “venom” at 5:12. If that’s the word, it is pronounced “muh-nahm”. Short for Menominee “muh-nah-min-ee”.
The man tells the story just as u where standing next to him ,natural as one person just telling u how it is in a normal every day way,
very important real deal great work
I like the way you tell the stories because they sound like you were actually there and your expressions make it awesome
to this day this is one of the best stories on this channel
You're the man keep it up I recently broke two of my arms so now all I do is lay in bed and listen to TH-cam and you're one of the main channels I listen to thank you for keeping me entertained in this s***** time
Well I am sorry to hear that! make sure to take your vitamins but Ill keep the vids coming bro! also how did you break them?
I love these kinds of stories. And I deeply enjoy the work you do. I hope this channel is successful, keep it up!
Thank you very much!
It’s become a daily routine to listen to these while I’m working
And up next we go over the anatomy of the goatman. so, starting with the feet...
To repeat what other people are saying, you're doing a great job! I gave up on creepypastas for about two years now because all of the writing was overthetop and ridiculous and the storytelling was overly dramatic. You managed to sound like you're telling a story to your friends. Like, I've heard friends tell me scary stories that happened to them in the same way you did, and it scares the crap out of me XD
Keep up the good work!
I love how you just read it normally, many channels try to do a spooky voice or add some unsettling music, which often makes the whole thing appear less serious
I do add the music! I always fell it adds something to it, that said, thanks bro!
@@RoanokeTales I guess it was subtle enough for me not to notice it. Good work
Been a fan of your gaming channel for a while. Happy to find your creepy creep person channel :)
I enjoyed the tone of narration. Instead of sounding (trying) spooky & afraid, its a friend sharing an experience.
🍃🍀Very nice indeed♥
subbed & belled. I can see myself coming back to this channel every so often an binge watching these vids while i game, (try) sleep at night (or midday), or just sitting in my room with the lights off alone. i very enjoyed my time here.
That would be fantastic!
The goatman hasn't been the same since he was evicted from his bridge by Shane and Ryan
You have a really great flow to your story telling. Almost like it's from memory.
That was some good stuff. Glad you mentioned this channel.
Great way of telling this story. Trying to take a nap and now I can’t sleep
Thanks for that
How are you dancing so gracefully around TH-cam's damned rules? My brother had a youtube channel and one video got taken down when he said 'hell'
Also this story scary as heck. The way you were reading it helped xD
Yah I imagine that particular video will never be monetized, but all of them wont be so....raunchy haha but Im glad you enjoyed the video bro!
TH-cam:we don't like hell
Also, TH-cam:promotes doom eternal
Just found out you had this channel because of the Cabin Fever video, funny thing this video was posted on my birthday.
Wish I had noticed it then it would have been a fun thing to watch on it since I love your content and Goatman stories.
Happy belated birthday! and I am glad you enjoyed them man!
My 3 year old just casually started laughing like a maniac while I’m reading this, scared the hell out of me
You have a lot o potential for this type of videos. Keep up the good work
I appreciate that!
Very well done …great story !
I find it somewhat soothing to listen to my biology teacher read about cryptids and creepypastas
he's the greatest of all time man
Ayyyyyyy :)
This is legitimately my favorite story you've read. Ya girl grew up in a very similar area, almost makes me nostalgic of how creepy camping in these kinds of trailers was.
I would love to see you cover these cryptids and discuss how they could exist with biology
I can take a look at that on the main channel!
Dude I fucking love this ! I just sat down for dinner and decided to watch one of your videos and I was NOT disappointed!
Goatman just wants to have a sleepover with the gang.
Dude I love these vids, i like to just have them on in the background listening to it while i game
Man so far I love this you do such a good job
Ayyyyyy thank you bro!
‘We all are like NOPE’ that line delivery was great haha
looking forward to see how you grow :)
Ayyyy thanks bro :)
man he's really let himself go after Shane and Ryan took his bridge
I genuinely enjoyed these types of stories, not that I believe all of them but hey, there isn't smoke without fire. Point being roanoke I think that is a great new channel for you and I would love if you keep uploading this type of content.
Glad you are enjoying it! got another video coming out today, would love to hear what you think :)
About a year ago I found your channel. And then lost it when I couldn't remember the name because I'm subscribed to so many. I have tried to work my way down the list but I'm literally subscribed to 1000. (My regular YT channel. Not this one.) Storming where I live and decided to look up "Alabama cryptids". Clicked on yours in search results. Low and behold❤🎉
😅 I could listen to this one with a straight face. That wording gave me life!
Sincerely, a fellow Huntsville Alabamian
God its been forever since I've heard this story nice job man
thank you bro
One thing that entertains me about this story is technically it never actually tried to harm anyone, just scare them. Basically less of a monster and more just a jerk XD
I hope you make more videos like this keep up the good work Man
Got one coming out today! Hope you enjoy it bro!
I like how all the comments are within 2 hours
My mom was my only subscriber for about a week, Thanks mom
@@RoanokeTales I feel that
Who knew you could tell stories so well 😳 I think I almost shit my pants towards the end there
Ayyyy my guy! thank you for the compliment :)
I would love to know the normal speech patterns of the person who wrote this story, because it's either written brilliantly, or it was written by someone with a very juvenile vocabulary, and I really cant decide which.
I just found out you also have this channel and I love it
Dis kinda feels like AMONG US, like the goat man is the imposter tryna act normal.
This story brings back some fond memories.
I didn't even realize this was Roanoke's channel until I heard his voice omg, i thought I'd somehow skipped to a science breakdown video 🤣😅
I’m from and still live in the backwoods of Alabama. Never seen a goat man but damn wild hogs are insane. Oh and Roll Tide!!
I love this. Love the way you're doing it. GIMME MORE !
Man, sounds like this goatman just wanted to have a good time and hang out with some hommies in the bush. He's just a little socially awkward. Can relate.
I live in Alabama. I love hearing these types of stories from my home state. 👍🏼
I'm around a 45 minute drive from Huntsville AL where this story takes place... Oh boy.
Wow that's some real creepy stuff man and your voice just make it feel just even more creepy 😅😅😅
Love the new channel keep up the spooks
Silence is only scary... when you can hear it...
This reminds me of slender goat from goat sim. Good work man!
Thanks man!
This is terrifying, something that hides in plain sight but you know is there.
One of my fave creepypastas from wayyyy back brought me back to high school with this one Roanoke, thanks buddy 😊
FYI: If you are swimming in a creek near Huntsville, Alabama, it's probably late spring, summer or early Fall. It's not dark at 7pm until Nov- Mid March. Details matter when you are watching this in Alabama around the same time of day it's supposedly happening and it's still light out.
Everything to love about Roanoke except for one thing... an analysis on the biology of the goat man, starting with the feet
It has goat feet
This is the one time i feel relaxed while listening to a horro story
This needs to be turned into a high quality horror film
