Almost exactly halfway through, I'm riveted and enthralled. I started listening while out walking my dog, and quickly decided to change my plans for the day and clean the house and do some gardening - this is way too good to be distracted by the actual work I need to get done this week. I'll do that tomorrow instead 😁
Read or listen ? I think there is a difference but I'm not smart enough to know the difference. I don't know how to articulate the difference between reading words or listening to words. Is it the same thing ? Both put pictures in my mind . Is reading a book the same as listening to the same book ?
Vicrum is a great antagonist. He's not exactly evil, he's a trickster. He's so very clever, and if you think about it, he has a good reason for being the way he is. The humans have to contain him for their own safety, and he's fine with that as long as you don't push him. It's not like he's dangerous while in his containment, yet they still insist on trying to kill him, so he attacks them first. I get they want to be rid of him so they don't have to worry about containing him forever.
Huge fan of Vikram! I mentioned to head of spectre today that he's one of my favorite villains on the entire channel. You nailed it - not exactly evil, very clever.
@@LighthouseHorror Honestly I think its shame to want to kill something so old and powerful. Its not like hes out slaughtering cities. Hell, he isnt even trying to leave. Reminds me alot of what humanity has done to things like wolves.
@TheManInBl4ck just a reminder that he was first captured after an entire town was wiped off the map because he decided to put them in his pocket dimension
@@kellyjones7668I was thinking the same thing lmao. Like he put them in another dimension for a LONG TIME. Longer than natural life lasts. So he is a little dangerous
@TrueCrimeKing Why so morose, man? The original comment is simply someone expressing that this & other creepy pastas would make great films… don’t know why that leads to your response per se. I get that people don’t agree easily nowadays, but that seems to go much deeper than just the original commenter’s proposal… seems like you are contemplating the problems of man too much, spurred by this one simple comment.
@skullkidsid2418 I know you are likely being satirical, but just in case - or go back you up ardently - NO GOD NO. NO MORE of the damn reboots! Especially for films that got it correct the first time & there’s no need to remake them, 95% of the time only to ruin them. The 5% is truly for those reboots that work with their own perspective on the film in a way that adds something to the film, but even then, not everyone pulls this off well. & many may THINK they are doing something new, but really it’s just a trite copy.
No one has seemed to notice, but recently lighthouse has been posting more videos adding on to this lore I mean it can be argued that all stories are in the same cannon, but those specific videos have specific titles in this format: I work at a place for monsters That doesnt mean other videos arent connected, i remember in the story with the clicking aliens that the main character referenced "redwood piper birds" and "scarf people" as urban legends Sorry for the long comment btw but just wanted it to be out there Also props to the amazing video! This one goes down with "I think my grandfather is a serial killer", "I inherited my grandmas old house" "I found a cage in my grandpas basement" "I work for a special division of the FBI, genetic engineering is dangerous"betc. I really like what lighthouse does and I'm always very invested in their stories but
Lmao where you work could have a creepypasta setting in itself. "I work at a dimly lit warehouse, I get a strange visitor every often" But anyway man good luck in your shift. 👍
Imagine researching Fey for years and years, then meeting the most powerful Fey you've ever heard of, and when it basically has you at its generous mercy, the first thing you do is strike a "raise the dead" style deal, with the *verbatim* term "take whatever you need from me." Imagine.
I’ve got a terrible attention span, and usually don’t get hooked into longer stories- I’m watching this in segments but this is the third day at work I’ve come back to listen to another chunk- absolutely phenomenal! So well written compared to the majority of stories out there. I love a good story, even if the writing isn’t amazing, but the plot, the pacing, the characters- I feel immediately like I can picture what is being described. Just really really well done. And I love the way you read it! This is the first story I’ve been excited to get back to in months, at least. Thank you!!
Ron didn't stutter. As long as it's not woke. The absolute shite that almost ruined life around the world, but most importantly our U.S. of America. Thank God it's almost over! The majority should NEVER bend knee to the minority. Reality, not fanatics living in fantasy land, especially when they belong in a mental asylum pumped full of Thorazine. 🙏🫡🇺🇲🦅 From, U.S. Army ret...old school.
Anyone else lose hours of sleep bc the story was so good? 👀 My eyelids stayed shut but my brain sucked this story in like it was oxygen and deprived. 😅 Amazing story and narration as always!
Thank You, Thank You, ThAnK YoU, THANK YOU really appreciate your time and effort put into the lengthier ul’s- also love your narrating- it’s real rare talent to actually hear different characters & you have it in spades. Plus you don’t make me sleepy so i get to enjoy the stories lol i think it may be because your rhythm changes & isn’t monotone lol
@@tsoonklah I actually listen to him because he puts me to sleep. Just interesting to me how differently people react to the same stimuli. I end up having to re-watch some stories several times bc I keep passing out. Lol. Regardless, he's definitely a masterful narrator!!
Hi LH H, I Will... 😱😳.. Nice & Long Story - Ahuuhh..!!! - > The Warden..!! If That's an Indication It's Going to Be a Gööd Scary Öne - Ohhh, Now the Guards..!! I'm Going to Listen 👂 L .. 😱 Fan From Ont, Canada 🇨🇦
I was an actual federal inmate at FCH-Springfield. It's a federal correctional institution, but it's a medical facility. I was there in 2014 for a knee surgery. Being a hospital, it had a psychiatric wing as well. It was no joke. It had a low level psych area where the inmates had mental problems but could still associate with general population. But, during my time there, I worked various jobs. One of which was to service the psych unit. It had 2 other security levels. The last hallway was single cells, lockdown 23 hrs a day, and totally quiet. These guys were never allowed to see the light of day. The staff told us these were the ones who were really dangerous. It was pretty eerie.
@@ForgedWithinFlame, well, I had the surgery, but, ironically, it wasn't done at the Federal Hospital...it required a specialist and I had to transport to the local civilian hospital for the surgery. When done, I went back to the federal prisoner hospital. The place is basically a large hospital, the prison, so they have everything that would be needed both short and long term recovery processes. It's the same protocol... I was given anesthesia, follow up pain meds( Percocet for a couple weeks then Tylenol 3 with codiene to finish with. And at least 3 months of physical therapy. Many of the inmates in Springfield are in wheelchairs there.
@@robrose4971 I hope you never get dragged back into one of those places again. I did 6 months in the county jail and it was an absolute waste of time. There were jerry curls everywhere and fake fingernails in the food, it was fubar.
This really needs to be a series. The author fleshed this world out so well. And as for the narrator, you’ve got more voices then Jim Dale. Each one unique and full of character. I love this video.
Great reading. Every person working at this "prison" would have been fired for utter incompetence and reckless stupidity after their first week if they had been working for the SCP. Just saying.
I've been to jail, I know I'm a horrible person. I never had any issues with any inmates, however the most humiliated I've ever in my life was how i was treated by a guard. A little back story, I am legally deaf but can still hear somethings. They called morning roll call, I didnt hear it. Honestly inside of a cell it sounds like the a transmission from an AM radio station circa 1920. My cell mate woke me up I got to the tiny window just as the CO arrived. He began accosting me like I've never experienced before, keep in mind im not an 18 snowflake. Its been about 3 years now since that, I think i should probably just feel bad for his fat ass, cuz he hasnt been able to see his own pecker for years. I guess the morale of my story is, i can see how you see all inmates as the same. However they are still PEOPLE! I would thank you for your service, but i have no respect for CO's even the nice ones just sat and watched youtube all day. I was in county jail. we got out 2 hours a day because they were "short staffed" is that my fault? Good day sir.
@@rosetanner9817 it's a personal favorite series of mine and I acquired audible in order to listen to the full series. I always recommend it to my friends looking to get into the horror genre.
I accidentally stumbled upon this story. It is definitely not something I would ever pick to listen to prior to the last 3 hours. This was epic! I am in love. You have a subscriber out of me. Applause to the author!
Maybe it was an oversight, but I have a theory about this story based on one piece of evidence. He describes how horrible it is to be under the control of a siren, but I think she was making it that way. Infact I think she was able to control people without them ever knowing. And I think he was already under her control before the interview where she removed his visor. She knew what he knew, she was just letting him chase down a trail she knew didn't matter to keep him occupied. What's my evidence? He wasn't wearing a visor during the lockdown, and he looked right at her in the hallway. She would've had him right there at that moment, along with every other staff member in that hall who so much as glanced at her.
@@johannahunderwood4596 It was made clear in the story that the good doctor understood in that moment his situation was helpless and he could literally have done nothing. Everyone outside was under her control already. She could easily overpower him and remove the visor at will without even hurting him. That and he was scared stiff.
I want to hear more from this universe. I know there are a few more on the channel. I've listened to this one more than once. Please do more with Dr. Barry. I bet he turns into a badass.
A siren who can control the minds of humans, so let's send humans to watch over her instead of a vampire, because what could possibly go wrong, right? Don't know why that bugged me so much throughout the story. As for your narration, phenomenal as always! Don't have a single bad thing to say about it. Excellent job! 👍
It bugged you because it was a massive plot hole. It makes no sense that a human susceptible to hypnotization should ever come in contact with a siren, especially when there is an easy alternative: vampires immune to mind control. You'd think a massive organization that dedicated itself to containing these creatures would think of something like that.
@@Arcueid_Brunestud yeah, you're right. Usually, I don't mind small, insignificant plot holes, but this pasta had a plot hole that was literally the main driving force of the story arc, and that's never ok. It's by far the worst thing a writer can do...
@@Arcueid_Brunestud And considering a lot of the research staff were vampires, it would’ve made a lot of sense to have them conduct interviews for sirens
Yeah. Its really a shame. Absolutely ruined what was a good story. Whats more is how casual they were about a squad with two members who simply didnt have transponders... like. What? Just because the squad lead said technical difficulties no one wants to follow up on that?
THIS. WAS. PHENOMENAL. I'd LOVE to see a movie adapted from this. Although I know I'd be disappointed because it wouldn't be what I've built in my mind. Bravo to the author and also the narrator. Those accents were flawless. 🖤 I'm looking forward to more
This story is incredible. The concept of a monster prison is super interesting, to the point where I kinda want to write a story of my own taking place in this prison. I don't have any following or anything, so it would just be for fun, but the world you created here is awesome, and I need more, haha
Hell YES!! This is truly a gift for me! I had extensive oral surgery today which included having multiple parts of my jawbone shaved down in areas and cut out in others. This long upload is exactly what the doctor ordered for the healing process!! Thanks so much! You and your stories are always top tier!!
Sorry to hear that. I hope you get better real soon. Sending prayers love & respect from SouthEast Kentucky. If you pray please pray for me and my kids & grandkids. Life’s really really hard here. Lord please watch over this person and please help the healing be fast. In Jesus’s sweet name Amen
@@teresahickey3021 Thank you, you're very kind and the prayer's are always welcome. They certainly can't hurt anything. Heavenly Father I don't know what personal struggles your daughter Teresa is going through but you most certainly do and your word tells us that where two or more gather together in Jesus name for prayer, it shall be done. So today father, I come to you with teresa and ask that you help her in her time of need and give her peace Jesus. Peace of mind and heart and the courage to have unwavering faith that your will is being done in her life. In Jesus mighty name I pray Amen!
Traci Oday, I empathize with you and hope that you'll recover very soon. These great stories will help keep your mind occupied while your body heals. May angels soothe your pain and bring you total recovery!
@@teresahickey3021 I pray for you, your children and grandchildren, asking the Lord to lighten your burdens and help you with all your problems. You are very sweet to write a nice comment for Traci after her oral surgery. Such compassion says so many good things about you. The Lord is always with us, during good as well as hard times. May He bless you and give you help to bring relief and joy into your life!
This story was so cool, I actually took the time to research what the hell a dryad was. So you can imagine who my favorite character was. A description of his appearance, the voice used, the power, the fear, the way he spoke. Magnificent, perfect even.
Don't you love researching further into a good story...seeing where the lore and history which the authors have borrowed from or been inspired by....ya find some cool stuff sometimes.
This story was mind blowing it grab my attention so tightly that I listen to its entirety on my Night Shift at work. The narrator is totally awesome. Thanks, as I will start the next story tonight when I get to work.
You’re the best storyteller I’ve found in a long time. I’ve noticed a trend of other channels being used to fall asleep but with your accents for characters and devotion towards the story I can’t help but listen. You have helped me through a lot of rough nights I can’t thank you enough.
Lighthouse horror deserves so many more subscribers than he has atm, I can't believe he only has 500k ish subs. Like in my mind he should've have 1.5m-2m by now. These stories are so masterfully created
Scrolling through the comments it's absolutely amazing and wonderful how many people are A. Just like me and B. Calmed and entertained by your awesome story telling and soothing voice. You really don't know how you help so many people. Or maybe you do know. If not though, I just wanted to say Thank you from all of us. Thank you for your time and dedication to providing awesome content for each of us to consume. I'd rather listen to you than watch TV or regular videos any day of the week. I don't know but seriously doubt TH-cam compensates you like they should. Therefore, you're most likely doing these while working 40+ hours a week, all while living and possibly making time for a family and then having to fit sleep in there somewhere.....it's a very daunting task I imagine and I just wanna say again how thankful I am, as are so many others on here. Sorry for my rambling and long winded-ness and I hope this finds you happy and healthy!!
About halfway through, and really enjoying it. One major issue I have with the plot: He saw kayla running around and didn't figure something was up? Even if he thought it was his imagination, it would just be responsible - in this situation especially - to inform people to check it out. And since Kayla seemed involved with Malakay too, it's suspicious as hell. Very frustrating bit for me. Edit: At 2:20:00 now and... uh-oh. Bob's in on it isn't he? I don't like hearing "someone I can't not trust"
Wow, simply wow, not only was this story really well written, but the narration seems even better than usual! (Which is impressive given the track record here) Not to mention the sheer length of this video. Amazing job Stephen, you've truly outdone yourself this time!
Same here Serena! I've had diagnosed anxiety disorder for 25yrs...and anxiety for a few years before it was diagnosed. I think these tales help our busy minds to focus, become imaginative in a positive way rather than rumination. A big goal this year for me was to reduce meds; the constant uncertainty of the last couple of years had left me needing meds... Stephen has been a reasonably big part of helping me hit that goal, along with a couple of other creepy narrators (Nature's Temper, Dark Somnium, Romnex). But Stephen has put out so so much clever and captivating content so l listen to him more than anyone.
I keep replaying the segment starting with "I free you (if) you free me." It's beautiful and touching. I have listened to dozens of lighthouse horror. That 30 seconds stands above the rest. It's the way that something so insignificant connected with something infinite. They understood each other. The infinite empathized with the insignificant. And they helped each other. I don't know of anything across the whole of fiction or imagination that can touch it. It needed the rest of the story to enable that moment. Find a way to replicate that. Please.
I made a statement like this to myself 30 mins into listening..just to see that same statement wow…I said use me to be free …as I thought the guy would do
I'm an hour in and this is just amazing work. I don't usually like longer ones but this is an interesting story with wonderful voice acting and audio effects. Great job!
I really wish I'd found this sooner, I loved the narration, really brings the story to life. Also, can we talk about how Vikrum is the goat? I love how well he's characterized as something so intimidating and otherworldly. Might not have played a huge role here, but I love all of his parts in this. And I especially liked the main character here, he was intelligent, persistent and found a way to pull through in the end, despite the mistakes he makes in the early parts of the story. Phenomenal.
I have an hour left but so far Malakai, the Warden, and Victrum are my favorite characters/voices. I'll update this if I find more I find as a favorite. I never told you this yet, but I really love that you try to reply to our comments. I'm always nervous to write comments because I'm always thinking the uploaded of said videos never read them or don't want to respond to their community. Thank you very much for answering questions/comments. Even though I know you have a ton of comments to get to. I'm sure I'm not the only one that appreciates it. You are one of a kind and that's a high compliment. I have anthropophobia (fear of people) and I get anxious/nervous/stressed when I have to talk to people I've never spoke to before (both in person as well as online). After the first comment I made on your channel and you responded, I'm not as nervous to comment on your videos now. Sorry if I'm rambling or not making sense but I hope you understood what I was trying to covey and say. You gave all of the respect in the world from me.
Nice! Oh I appreciate that. I love reading the comments! I read them all the time. It's my pleasure. Thank you for listening and leaving a comment. Oh wow I appreciate that very much. I can't always get back to people, but it's such a great community here and people are so friendly that I genuinely enjoy going through the comments. I'm the same way! I actually wrote a letter a couple years ago to a really well-known person and was very nervous, and it meant the world to me that they replied back. Thank you for sharing that Fennic!
@@LighthouseHorror You are very welcome for all of it! I know exactly what you mean by writing to a well-known person and being nervous. I wrote to Alan Rickman about 15 years ago and even though he was busy, his secretary wrote back to me. She said she gave him the letter and said he had appreciated it. That made me extremely happy. I was heart broken when I had heard he had passed away a few years ago. Also, not sure if it's just me or not, but your voice for Pete reminds me of Morty from Rick and Morty. I love it (and that's one of my favorite shows)!
Don’t be nervous to write comments honey. It’s just a comment. Nobody’s gonna judge you. Besides, Nobody even really knows who you are. Just be yourself and write whatever you want because I’m pretty sure they want all the comments they can get. Tonight is my first time here. 7-17-22 Only Just now found you. I’m also enjoying your stories. Sending prayers love & respect from SouthEast Kentucky. Keep up the great work
Try to think of it as you don't need their approval when you get nervous and an anime character tamaki amajiki is a really good comfort character for you so maybe try watching things that have to do with him I'm confident it'll make you feel better
Not realistic that this doctor who’s supposed to be intelligent wouldn’t tell the warden that Kayla is the only one who could slip the cuffs, that he deciphered the coded messages, that kayla was out of her cell walking down the hall, and that she helped the demon escape and not once did Barry tell the warden like that might not be critical information he should tell her for his survival. It makes me mad that the only way this author could make this story was to make the character negligent, careless, and make bad decisions. Saying he needed evidence but that’s bs. Like dumbing down the character to make it more suspenseful really only makes me really annoyed smh
Not realistic? 😂 a story about a human interviewing sirens, vampires, fae, and other mythical beings had an unrealistic element?? *gasp* haha As some others have said, it's a possibility that the visors did nothing and Kayla had control over him from the beginning.
I love that someone finally had made a story about the Fae that isn't like the Disney version, but more like the original mythological stories and depictions of the other crowd. I loved it. Thank you!
I'm new to Lighthouse Horror. I work the night shift. I really enjoy the long stories, 2 to 3 hours long are great, it really helps pass the time. The NARRATION is great, love it and the detail of the stories is spot on. Going to be a big fan.
I usually have a hard time focussing on longer stories / podcasts but the writing of this combined with your story telling makes it so incredibely immersive. This trully makes the time at my job fly by, thank you so much 💜
I find it interesting that with stories of 30-50 minutes I always fall asleep but with videos over 2 hours I stay awake. I love your narations keep it up mate.
The protagonist: "The bad guy is a mind controlling siren, and I just found VERY IMPORTANT information about her. The only person I can tell this is to the warden bc she is the only one immune to her mind control" The protagonist 5 minutes later: * let's tell this suspicious guy (that is vulnerable to mind control) this VERY IMPORTANT information. Nothing will go wrong. *
I just started listening, but I got so happy when I saw this was a long story. I like to listen to this channel and play video games after my husband goes to bed as my "me time", so I really enjoy the longer stories. And lighthouse (so far) is the only horror narrator I can listen to
@@keatonhenry4194 I've tried listening to him. Don't get me wrong, I don't think he's bad, just not my style. Lighthouse just really has the vibe I look for.
@@elizaedl9626 podcast “Knifepoint Horror” for, imo, some of the best first person, sophisticated and terrifying original story telling ever done. Give “Creak” a listen and hit me back
Oh my god! I loved this story. There were so many elements to savor; creepy hospital with a secretive basement, caged monsters like in 13 Ghosts, experiments and death, a clear villain and hero, funky betrayal….. on and on…. Thanks!
Just based off of the title this reminds me of the "I'm a guard at a secret government prison" story that Dark Somnium did a reading of. I'm excited to hear your narration of a possibly similar story.
Darksomnium is easily the best narrator on the site but I liked this story alot more. The one dark read listed the prisoners as if they where wrestlers gearing u9 for the WWE title belt and I really didn't like that. It reminded me of that idiot in 7th or 8th grade that was obsessed with fighting and just put me off
It's nice to see how your channel has grown, been here since the beginning and you've never disappointed me with your choice of tales or your narrative. By far one of the most talented storytellers I ever had the pleasure to listen to. Kudos to you Stephen, I look forward to when you hit one million subscribers, I don't think it will be a long wait. Thank you for once again delivering the "goodies "
oh wow. I really need you to narrate the updates to the series since this came out, I love everything that you do narrate. You manage to make it so vivid, i can imagine everything! 3 hours just ran away from me.
I listen to your stories often. Sometimes they help me sleep, other times I listen while I'm driving or at work (graveyard gets slow some nights!). Tonight it is work, and I have never been so glad for a slow night!!
This story was so amazing, i listened to it in one take and I can’t wait to listen to more… I love unique beings/ things of the unknown and sirens are my favorite…
Absolutely love the longer ones! Can't wait to listen to this one tomorrow at work! I love you and all that you do for the community! Keep up the great work!
Your storytelling is top self and your voice is the best "calming aid" I've found for my anxiety. No matter the story my anxiety lessens as the story intensifies all thanks to awesome storytelling & a soothing friendly voice. Thank you good sir 💙
I've listened to this one at least a hundred times. Idk why but some nights when I'm trying to go to sleep I would rather hear something old instead of something new and this is the one that I always come back to.
This story is amazing. I cant wait to see if theres a second part! Plentu of ideas on Creepy Pasta for movies or a series and this is definitely one of them!
I'm halfway through & I can already tell you my favourite is the Warden. I've not even stopped to write this! Excellent narration as always Lighthouse 🖤
I love how many people have commented that they've listened to these long stories. Shouldn't you all be working?? It'll never cease to amaze me how many people get paid to work, & instead, dick around on the internet. Yet are usually the ones to complain about their tax dollars being used to assist their fellow human beings who have either fallen upon difficult times, or are suffering from illnesses, &/or disabilities-Which most of the time isn't even the case.
@@Blue-Lotus888 Depends on the kind of work you do. Some places don’t allow it but mines do allow you to listen or have ear phones on. Why should it matter if people listen to stories or music when they’re working. And honestly it’s their money, they can complain about it how they want. Most of the time tax money just goes straight to the government and never reach those in need anyways.
@@kouvue9830 B/C it's a matter of honor. If you're being paid by someone else to work, you should be working-It's that simple. However, I am in agreement that everyone's tax dollars are straight up being stolen, you are correct there.
@@Blue-Lotus888 You do realize many workplaces now a days encourages you to listen to music and such to make the day easier on their workers. It’s not that people listen to this and not work, it’s more of it gets you into the mood. Workplace now and 20 yrs ago differs hugely.
This is the first story I ever heard from this channel. Not even 45 minutes in and I hit that subscribe button. This is an amazing story and I can’t wait to listen to more!!
This is probably my favorite story you've ever done. Your narration plus the writer's inventive writing had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. I hope there is more. Thank you.
I can't stop listening to your work. Your narration takes me away from the present and brings me far away to a spooky, yet safe place. Even where some stories may not be a good as others you read, I am always submerged into the world you breathe life into. Thank you, this is one of life's greatest treasures.
Shout out to the narrator! You are the best one I've ever listened to! Your inflections are spot on! Shout out to the author as well! You are an awesomely gifted writer!
Despite the massive plot hole within it, this is still one of my most favourite stories on your channel. Kudos to the author and I absolutely love your narration! (Vikram's voice is so apt!) A bit embarrassing to admit but I have a crush on that warden character. 😅
Wow at 2:17:38 and I can't stop listening. Finding myself repeating certain areas to see if I can find the "problem staff" ...Such a good story and a great action mystery wrapped around a creepy setting....2Million views. Wow!
Lighthouse Horror, I was so pleased right away that this was a longer story, as often many are read out and sometimes so brief that one isn't sure that they've actually ended. After beginning to listen, I got more and more engrossed. Everything about this was top notch, the story, your reading and various accents, and an ending worth waiting for. Thank you very much, please make more if your time permits. Your efforts are truly appreciated by many people! Good wishes to you.
I have to say this story was wonderful -- the kind that is so immersive it keeps one glued the entire time! Kudos to the author! In many ways classic horror stories that end in a mystery are best suited to say mysteries... preserves a lingering fear... but a small part of me wants to know whether Kala or Old Vic retire into the faraway places and not risk recapture or they decide to lead an assault on the facility. Of course your narration really brought things to life beautifully... well done! Wow! 3+ Hours of Narration! WHEW!!! Thank you so much for bringing a great story to life and sharing it with us. Blessed Be!
Thank you so much for all the hard work you put into reading these fantastic stories... I’m always telling people to listen to you... You really bring the stories alive...

Read or listen ? I think there is a difference but I'm not smart enough to know the difference. I don't know how to articulate the difference between reading words or listening to words. Is it the same thing ? Both put pictures in my mind . Is reading a book the same as listening to the same book ?
On my 3rd listen now!!
I do the same thing. Lighthouse is a constant companion to my daughter’s dog and I on our walks.
Vicrum is a great antagonist. He's not exactly evil, he's a trickster. He's so very clever, and if you think about it, he has a good reason for being the way he is. The humans have to contain him for their own safety, and he's fine with that as long as you don't push him. It's not like he's dangerous while in his containment, yet they still insist on trying to kill him, so he attacks them first. I get they want to be rid of him so they don't have to worry about containing him forever.

@@kellyjones7668I was thinking the same thing lmao. Like he put them in another dimension for a LONG TIME. Longer than natural life lasts. So he is a little dangerous
@@LighthouseHorror Was it the true or that is the fiction?
Can we all agree that Creepypastas like this NEED to be made into films. Like seriously half the crap we get today is nowhere near this well written.
Nobody can agree on anything now adays man
@@TrueCrimeKing Damn shame
Nah, let's keep rebooting films from 10 years ago.
@TrueCrimeKing
Why so morose, man? The original comment is simply someone expressing that this & other creepy pastas would make great films… don’t know why that leads to your response per se. I get that people don’t agree easily nowadays, but that seems to go much deeper than just the original commenter’s proposal… seems like you are contemplating the problems of man too much, spurred by this one simple comment.
@skullkidsid2418
I know you are likely being satirical, but just in case - or go back you up ardently - NO GOD NO. NO MORE of the damn reboots! Especially for films that got it correct the first time & there’s no need to remake them, 95% of the time only to ruin them. The 5% is truly for those reboots that work with their own perspective on the film in a way that adds something to the film, but even then, not everyone pulls this off well. & many may THINK they are doing something new, but really it’s just a trite copy.
No one has seemed to notice, but recently lighthouse has been posting more videos adding on to this lore
I mean it can be argued that all stories are in the same cannon, but those specific videos have specific titles in this format: I work at a place for monsters
That doesnt mean other videos arent connected, i remember in the story with the clicking aliens that the main character referenced "redwood piper birds" and "scarf people" as urban legends
Sorry for the long comment btw but just wanted it to be out there
Also props to the amazing video! This one goes down with "I think my grandfather is a serial killer", "I inherited my grandmas old house" "I found a cage in my grandpas basement" "I work for a special division of the FBI, genetic engineering is dangerous"betc. I really like what lighthouse does and I'm always very invested in their stories but
The toll booth story has a giant centipede made of human bodies. I wonder if that’s the centipede god in the abyss where the demons come from.
As I start my 12 hour shift in the dank, barely lit warehouse where I work alone, this 3 hour story is my best friend. Thank you!!!

Imagine researching Fey for years and years, then meeting the most powerful Fey you've ever heard of, and when it basically has you at its generous mercy, the first thing you do is strike a "raise the dead" style deal, with the *verbatim* term "take whatever you need from me."
Imagine.

I’ve got a terrible attention span, and usually don’t get hooked into longer stories- I’m watching this in segments but this is the third day at work I’ve come back to listen to another chunk- absolutely phenomenal! So well written compared to the majority of stories out there.

of course we will, I'm sorry if you have answered this question but do you have a merch store or one in the works?
I was an actual federal inmate at FCH-Springfield. It's a federal correctional institution, but it's a medical facility. I was there in 2014 for a knee surgery. Being a hospital, it had a psychiatric wing as well. It was no joke. It had a low level psych area where the inmates had mental problems but could still associate with general population. But, during my time there, I worked various jobs. One of which was to service the psych unit. It had 2 other security levels. The last hallway was single cells, lockdown 23 hrs a day, and totally quiet. These guys were never allowed to see the light of day. The staff told us these were the ones who were really dangerous. It was pretty eerie.
That's crazy! I live right outside of Springfield & there are sure some stories about the fed med that circulate!!
@@ericawoolman3568• I'd sure like to hear one that you know of...
How do they handle your recovery process after the surgery, being an inmate that is?
@@ForgedWithinFlame, well, I had the surgery, but, ironically, it wasn't done at the Federal Hospital...it required a specialist and I had to transport to the local civilian hospital for the surgery. When done, I went back to the federal prisoner hospital. The place is basically a large hospital, the prison, so they have everything that would be needed both short and long term recovery processes. It's the same protocol...
I was given anesthesia, follow up pain meds( Percocet for a couple weeks then Tylenol 3 with codiene to finish with. And at least 3 months of physical therapy.
Many of the inmates in Springfield are in wheelchairs there.
@@robrose4971 I hope you never get dragged back into one of those places again. I did 6 months in the county jail and it was an absolute waste of time. There were jerry curls everywhere and fake fingernails in the food, it was fubar.
This really needs to be a series. The author fleshed this world out so well. And as for the narrator, you’ve got more voices then Jim Dale. Each one unique and full of character.
I love this video.
I totally agree!!!
Great reading.
Every person working at this "prison" would have been fired for utter incompetence and reckless stupidity after their first week if they had been working for the SCP.
Just saying.
They don't fire people they demote them to D-class. A much worse fate
@@noneed4159 I thought the same thing
Moving the most dangerous monsters is utterly braindead.
They wouldn't be fired. No, they'd get worse. They would get demoted to being Class-D.

@@bielsaway38?? Im curious?
I've been to jail, I know I'm a horrible person. I never had any issues with any inmates, however the most humiliated I've ever in my life was how i was treated by a guard. A little back story, I am legally deaf but can still hear somethings. They called morning roll call, I didnt hear it. Honestly inside of a cell it sounds like the a transmission from an AM radio station circa 1920. My cell mate woke me up I got to the tiny window just as the CO arrived. He began accosting me like I've never experienced before, keep in mind im not an 18 snowflake. Its been about 3 years now since that, I think i should probably just feel bad for his fat ass, cuz he hasnt been able to see his own pecker for years. I guess the morale of my story is, i can see how you see all inmates as the same. However they are still PEOPLE! I would thank you for your service, but i have no respect for CO's even the nice ones just sat and watched youtube all day. I was in county jail. we got out 2 hours a day because they were "short staffed" is that my fault? Good day sir.
I don't generally go to horror stories. But, I adore your story telling. Thank you.

I accidentally stumbled upon this story. It is definitely not something I would ever pick to listen to prior to the last 3 hours. This was epic! I am in love. You have a subscriber out of me. Applause to the author!
Maybe it was an oversight, but I have a theory about this story based on one piece of evidence. He describes how horrible it is to be under the control of a siren, but I think she was making it that way. Infact I think she was able to control people without them ever knowing. And I think he was already under her control before the interview where she removed his visor. She knew what he knew, she was just letting him chase down a trail she knew didn't matter to keep him occupied. What's my evidence? He wasn't wearing a visor during the lockdown, and he looked right at her in the hallway. She would've had him right there at that moment, along with every other staff member in that hall who so much as glanced at her.
That’s what I was thinking. The second he went to go call for her
I disagree if that was the case then she wouldnt have needed to look in his eyes to get control of him in the interagation room after that.
Yeah, it was in her interest to play along and pretend that she couldn’t influence anyone wearing a visor, all the while getting in their heads.
If she didn’t have influence over him, he wouldn’t have let her lean across and remove the visor, with him knowing how dangerous she is.
@@johannahunderwood4596 It was made clear in the story that the good doctor understood in that moment his situation was helpless and he could literally have done nothing. Everyone outside was under her control already. She could easily overpower him and remove the visor at will without even hurting him. That and he was scared stiff.
It would be nice to see a continuance to this story.
Another great narration by our narrator 👍👍
I want to hear more from this universe. I know there are a few more on the channel. I've listened to this one more than once. Please do more with Dr. Barry. I bet he turns into a badass.
A siren who can control the minds of humans, so let's send humans to watch over her instead of a vampire, because what could possibly go wrong, right? Don't know why that bugged me so much throughout the story.
As for your narration, phenomenal as always! Don't have a single bad thing to say about it. Excellent job! 👍
It bugged you because it was a massive plot hole. It makes no sense that a human susceptible to hypnotization should ever come in contact with a siren, especially when there is an easy alternative: vampires immune to mind control. You'd think a massive organization that dedicated itself to containing these creatures would think of something like that.
@@Arcueid_Brunestud yeah, you're right. Usually, I don't mind small, insignificant plot holes, but this pasta had a plot hole that was literally the main driving force of the story arc, and that's never ok. It's by far the worst thing a writer can do...
@@sweettea1193 I agree, it ruined my enjoyment of this story unfortunately. Otherwise, I would've thought it was pretty good.
@@Arcueid_Brunestud And considering a lot of the research staff were vampires, it would’ve made a lot of sense to have them conduct interviews for sirens
Yeah. Its really a shame. Absolutely ruined what was a good story. Whats more is how casual they were about a squad with two members who simply didnt have transponders... like. What? Just because the squad lead said technical difficulties no one wants to follow up on that?
THIS. WAS. PHENOMENAL.
I'd LOVE to see a movie adapted from this. Although I know I'd be disappointed because it wouldn't be what I've built in my mind. Bravo to the author and also the narrator. Those accents were flawless. 🖤 I'm looking forward to more

You’re the best storyteller I’ve found in a long time. I’ve noticed a trend of other channels being used to fall asleep but with your accents for characters and devotion towards the story I can’t help but listen. You have helped me through a lot of rough nights I can’t thank you enough.

Lighthouse horror deserves so many more subscribers than he has atm, I can't believe he only has 500k ish subs. Like in my mind he should've have 1.5m-2m by now. These stories are so masterfully created
Scrolling through the comments it's absolutely amazing and wonderful how many people are A. Just like me and B. Calmed and entertained by your awesome story telling and soothing voice. You really don't know how you help so many people. Or maybe you do know. If not though, I just wanted to say Thank you from all of us. Thank you for your time and dedication to providing awesome content for each of us to consume. I'd rather listen to you than watch TV or regular videos any day of the week. I don't know but seriously doubt TH-cam compensates you like they should. Therefore, you're most likely doing these while working 40+ hours a week, all while living and possibly making time for a family and then having to fit sleep in there somewhere.....it's a very daunting task I imagine and I just wanna say again how thankful I am, as are so many others on here. Sorry for my rambling and long winded-ness and I hope this finds you happy and healthy!!
About halfway through, and really enjoying it. One major issue I have with the plot: He saw kayla running around and didn't figure something was up? Even if he thought it was his imagination, it would just be responsible - in this situation especially - to inform people to check it out. And since Kayla seemed involved with Malakay too, it's suspicious as hell. Very frustrating bit for me.
Edit: At 2:20:00 now and... uh-oh. Bob's in on it isn't he? I don't like hearing "someone I can't not trust"

A big goal this year for me was to reduce meds; the constant uncertainty of the last couple of years had left me needing meds...
Stephen has been a reasonably big part of helping me hit that goal, along with a couple of other creepy narrators (Nature's Temper, Dark Somnium, Romnex). But Stephen has put out so so much clever and captivating content so l listen to him more than anyone.

SCP Foundation: well you see you'd *[long winded redaction]*
It’s taken me a month but I have FINALLY listened to this entire story and wow what a journey.
Excellently written and masterfully delivered.
I keep replaying the segment starting with "I free you (if) you free me." It's beautiful and touching. I have listened to dozens of lighthouse horror. That 30 seconds stands above the rest. It's the way that something so insignificant connected with something infinite. They understood each other. The infinite empathized with the insignificant. And they helped each other. I don't know of anything across the whole of fiction or imagination that can touch it. It needed the rest of the story to enable that moment. Find a way to replicate that. Please.
Well put, truly. Beautiful moment.

I really wish I'd found this sooner, I loved the narration, really brings the story to life. Also, can we talk about how Vikrum is the goat? I love how well he's characterized as something so intimidating and otherworldly. Might not have played a huge role here, but I love all of his parts in this. And I especially liked the main character here, he was intelligent, persistent and found a way to pull through in the end, despite the mistakes he makes in the early parts of the story. Phenomenal.
Pissed me off that he didn’t mention that he saw Kayla walking in the opposite direction when the demon got out 🤦🏾♀️

@@LighthouseHorror You are very welcome for all of it!
I know exactly what you mean by writing to a well-known person and being nervous. I wrote to Alan Rickman about 15 years ago and even though he was busy, his secretary wrote back to me. She said she gave him the letter and said he had appreciated it. That made me extremely happy. I was heart broken when I had heard he had passed away a few years ago.

Try to think of it as you don't need their approval when you get nervous and an anime character tamaki amajiki is a really good comfort character for you so maybe try watching things that have to do with him I'm confident it'll make you feel better
Not realistic that this doctor who’s supposed to be intelligent wouldn’t tell the warden that Kayla is the only one who could slip the cuffs, that he deciphered the coded messages, that kayla was out of her cell walking down the hall, and that she helped the demon escape and not once did Barry tell the warden like that might not be critical information he should tell her for his survival. It makes me mad that the only way this author could make this story was to make the character negligent, careless, and make bad decisions. Saying he needed evidence but that’s bs. Like dumbing down the character to make it more suspenseful really only makes me really annoyed smh
I was thinking this the entire time
Not realistic? 😂 a story about a human interviewing sirens, vampires, fae, and other mythical beings had an unrealistic element?? *gasp* haha
As some others have said, it's a possibility that the visors did nothing and Kayla had control over him from the beginning.
Doctors are well trained, and analytical. That does not equate to common sense.
I love that someone finally had made a story about the Fae that isn't like the Disney version, but more like the original mythological stories and depictions of the other crowd. I loved it. Thank you!

The protagonist: "The bad guy is a mind controlling siren, and I just found VERY IMPORTANT information about her. The only person I can tell this is to the warden bc she is the only one immune to her mind control"
The protagonist 5 minutes later: * let's tell this suspicious guy (that is vulnerable to mind control) this VERY IMPORTANT information. Nothing will go wrong. *

Awesome stuff for me to listen to all night long and get some rest tonight
Just based off of the title this reminds me of the "I'm a guard at a secret government prison" story that Dark Somnium did a reading of. I'm excited to hear your narration of a possibly similar story.
All facts truly really
I loved that story one of my favorite
I listened to that while I was doing my first landscaping and cleaning job. It was so memorable
It’s my second favorite story. Behind “my friend visited a alternate reality“
Darksomnium is easily the best narrator on the site but I liked this story alot more. The one dark read listed the prisoners as if they where wrestlers gearing u9 for the WWE title belt and I really didn't like that. It reminded me of that idiot in 7th or 8th grade that was obsessed with fighting and just put me off
Hell yes. Thanks for another spectacular ride Light House!
I loved this story and the narrator did a fabulous job.
This sounds great! Definitely my story for tonight.
I hope I don’t fall asleep. But if I do I’ll just listen again!
It's nice to see how your channel has grown, been here since the beginning and you've never disappointed me with your choice of tales or your narrative. By far one of the most talented storytellers I ever had the pleasure to listen to. Kudos to you Stephen, I look forward to when you hit one million subscribers, I don't think it will be a long wait. Thank you for once again delivering the "goodies "
oh wow. I really need you to narrate the updates to the series since this came out, I love everything that you do narrate. You manage to make it so vivid, i can imagine everything! 3 hours just ran away from me.
The writer of this story is incredible talented. You did this great justice, my friend.
I listen to your stories often. Sometimes they help me sleep, other times I listen while I'm driving or at work (graveyard gets slow some nights!). Tonight it is work, and I have never been so glad for a slow night!!
This story was so amazing, i listened to it in one take and I can’t wait to listen to more… I love unique beings/ things of the unknown and sirens are my favorite…
Absolutely love the longer ones! Can't wait to listen to this one tomorrow at work! I love you and all that you do for the community! Keep up the great work!
Had me from beginning to the end. I listened to while playing battlefield 3.
This was epic, Love the accents! You never fail to amaze, thank you!!!
What an awesome story! I couldn't stop listening!
Your storytelling is top self and your voice is the best "calming aid" I've found for my anxiety. No matter the story my anxiety lessens as the story intensifies all thanks to awesome storytelling & a soothing friendly voice. Thank you good sir 💙
I've listened to this one at least a hundred times. Idk why but some nights when I'm trying to go to sleep I would rather hear something old instead of something new and this is the one that I always come back to.
This story is amazing. I cant wait to see if theres a second part! Plentu of ideas on Creepy Pasta for movies or a series and this is definitely one of them!
I just found out about creepy pasta I had no idea this was even in existence I'm so excited 🎉😅🎉😅🎉😅🎉
Wow great story! Really enjoyed listening to your narration. Thanks Stephen
glad you liked this one Rosslinda!
A vampire who smoked about 500 packs of crack had me cackling! 😂😂😂
😂 😂 😂 😂That line had soo many nails layin around.
I might as well build a ⚰ cuz I am dead 💀 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
I'm halfway through & I can already tell you my favourite is the Warden. I've not even stopped to write this! Excellent narration as always Lighthouse 🖤
Saw that it was a 3 hour story and good thing I saved it until today to listen to it while at work. Definitely worth the listen.
Thanks for listening Kou!
I love how many people have commented that they've listened to these long stories. Shouldn't you all be working?? It'll never cease to amaze me how many people get paid to work, & instead, dick around on the internet. Yet are usually the ones to complain about their tax dollars being used to assist their fellow human beings who have either fallen upon difficult times, or are suffering from illnesses, &/or disabilities-Which most of the time isn't even the case.
@@Blue-Lotus888 Depends on the kind of work you do. Some places don’t allow it but mines do allow you to listen or have ear phones on. Why should it matter if people listen to stories or music when they’re working. And honestly it’s their money, they can complain about it how they want. Most of the time tax money just goes straight to the government and never reach those in need anyways.
@@kouvue9830 B/C it's a matter of honor. If you're being paid by someone else to work, you should be working-It's that simple. However, I am in agreement that everyone's tax dollars are straight up being stolen, you are correct there.
@@Blue-Lotus888 You do realize many workplaces now a days encourages you to listen to music and such to make the day easier on their workers. It’s not that people listen to this and not work, it’s more of it gets you into the mood. Workplace now and 20 yrs ago differs hugely.
This is the first story I ever heard from this channel. Not even 45 minutes in and I hit that subscribe button. This is an amazing story and I can’t wait to listen to more!!
Hey man thanks so much for what you do. You provide so much for so many of us. You are very very appreciated dude!!
I appreciate it Geoffrey!
Definitely need a continuation of this story. Brilliant. You are a master narrator sir. Thank you.
I feel I often look for things to fall asleep listening to only to move it to a play list to listen to later because it's really interesting.
This is probably my favorite story you've ever done. Your narration plus the writer's inventive writing had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. I hope there is more. Thank you.
I can't stop listening to your work. Your narration takes me away from the present and brings me far away to a spooky, yet safe place. Even where some stories may not be a good as others you read, I am always submerged into the world you breathe life into. Thank you, this is one of life's greatest treasures.
Shout out to the narrator! You are the best one I've ever listened to! Your inflections are spot on! Shout out to the author as well! You are an awesomely gifted writer!
Yes! 3+ hours?! Plus your longer stories are always fire. Thanks as always lh
This was amazing!!!!!! The way you bring these characters to life is unreal!!
Despite the massive plot hole within it, this is still one of my most favourite stories on your channel. Kudos to the author and I absolutely love your narration! (Vikram's voice is so apt!) A bit embarrassing to admit but I have a crush on that warden character. 😅
Longest story I’ve ever listened to, and I enjoyed every minute of it…….
So excited! I love listening to your narrations
Wow at 2:17:38 and I can't stop listening. Finding myself repeating certain areas to see if I can find the "problem staff" ...Such a good story and a great action mystery wrapped around a creepy setting....2Million views. Wow!
Wow!!! This was spectacular! Absolutely addictive. Brilliantly written and narrated! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Lighthouse Horror, I was so pleased right away that this was a longer story, as often many are
read out and sometimes so brief that one isn't sure that they've actually ended. After beginning to
listen, I got more and more engrossed. Everything about this was top notch, the story, your reading and various accents, and an ending worth waiting for. Thank you very much, please make more if your time permits. Your efforts are truly appreciated by many people! Good wishes to you.
I have to get an editorial illustration in by tomorrow and this is the only thing keeping me going lmfaooo
I just finished and I already know this will be one of the stories I'll be coming back to. Amazing writing and narration! Thanks for that!
I have to say this story was wonderful -- the kind that is so immersive it keeps one glued the entire time! Kudos to the author! In many ways classic horror stories that end in a mystery are best suited to say mysteries... preserves a lingering fear... but a small part of me wants to know whether Kala or Old Vic retire into the faraway places and not risk recapture or they decide to lead an assault on the facility. Of course your narration really brought things to life beautifully... well done! Wow! 3+ Hours of Narration! WHEW!!! Thank you so much for bringing a great story to life and sharing it with us. Blessed Be!
Personally I think Kayla would go back to try and take the down (she already stated that as her goal), but I think Vikrom wouldn't.
I listen to this for 2 reasons. 1. The amazing story telling 2.the voice acting of the prisoners and warden
Thank you so much for all the hard work you put into reading these fantastic stories... I’m always telling people to listen to you... You really bring the stories alive...
Away from how amazing this story is, I'm so pumped to have found you and your narration style. This was awesome!
