This is one of my all time favorites! I don't understand how this channel does not have millions of subscribers yet
Executive producer & composer here. Big huge thanks to Alicia Pavlis, David Lewis Richardson and Peter Bishop for their fantastic performances and to Gareth Shore for the compelling story. Sound design, sound mix, priest cameo and original music by yours truly. We hope you enjoy "The Mourner"!
Aural Stimulation | Jeff Clement Awesome sound design & production Jeff. Gareth's story is great and Alicia's narration is wonderful. Peter is so cool and you even make me sound scary - which must be difficult because I'm really just sweetness and light!
Aural Stimulation | Jeff Clement I'm not even a minute in, but the music is great so far!
David Richardson Your voice is amazing in this. So perfect. And well done to everyone else as well. I had pins and needles listening to this one.
Jeff Clement. Is one of my favorites .
Kjjjmjujjjujjjju hi i88o8889888989888889
This is simply a beautiful story. It gives plenty of atmosphere, poetic-like wording, and gives the feel as if I am experiencing the story. I love it!
Yes! Beautiful prose.
LoL it so weird to listen this when English is not your native language, so difficult to understand and imagine.
I love when they put so much heart and love into a story with the sounds and great voice acting and narrative side. really puts me in that place. great job guys!
EXCELLENT!!! Alicia Pavlis is my new favourite narrator now. David Lewis Richardson's voice is as compelling as always. He is so very Black Butler Undertaker like. He would suit the character very well.
One of the first Creepypastas to really drag me in and astound me. Such a treasure!
Thanks for the lovely comment. Credit to the Chilling Tales team for a great production.
the sounds of the car crash were fantastic. Give the audio editor my regards!
Smoking0Gun Thank you very much! It was a lot of fun creating that scene.
Seriously excellent Foley work.
The writing was absolutely lovely. The author really has a knack for painting a memorable scene in the head of the reader.
I'm a bit jealous I didn't get a part in this one! Great job, y'all!
You can make just about any story. I'd become a brony in an instant if you narrated the show.
The "Honest" company His voice is so engaging and enjoyable that I would go back to the Catholic church if he was giving the sermons.
Lisa Ann Amen, brothah!
Otis you're still the main man in my eyes x
You should've gotten the part of the Thin Man!
At first, the description of the "mourner" as the, "thin man", made me think of The Slenderman. Of course, Slenderman doesn't speak to people, because he has no face, thus, he has no mouth. I'm guessing that this "thin man" or "mourner" is the personification of Death, The Angel of Death, or The Reaper. I just love how his real or true identity remained a mystery until the end of the story. It added a strong element of mystery and curiosity to the plot of the story. Still, this was a very good story, and the voice acting and accents were outstanding! The sound effects of her car crash were well done and spine chilling. Over all, I enjoyed this story, and I look forward to more stories with these talented actors and author(s). 😁
Edenah Williamson Interesting. It made me think of, you know, The Thin Man, AKA Clyde Wynant. Dashiell Hammett?
This is why I feel old sometimes.
Edenah Williamson
Mystery? You can tell who the Thin Man is by the half-way point............
@@erickgreen2361 exactly especially when she's on the bench, talking to him.
In love with these voices..simply beautiful. I can feel every word...just so perfect.
I love listening to a well put together story much more than watching a movie. For regarding the former, one is limited only by ones imagination. In this case I'm not sure what that says about me considering I deem this story extremely well written, acted, produced, etc. And it's perfectly brilliantly creepy. In the end, I imagine we will all see a version of The Mourner. Ahh yes, he WILL be there...
Thank you for the very kind words. We appreciate your taking the time to weigh in on the high quality of author Gareth Shore's tale! This is one of our personal favorites!
I agree with Jacee k. A person can always scare themselves far more efficiently because our imagination by default, is the garden of our fears. So the images in our minds while being read to or told a story to, will always be the kind that scares us most. Movies cannot compete.
This is masterfully done on all levels. The story and voices were some of the best I've heard. The way they all came together resulted in something greater than the sum of the parts.The thin man's voice was perfectly creepy while also smooth and appealing in an uncanny way. I think I will listen to this again now.
Well said :-)
Data Mesh u forgot to mention the superb audio!!!!
A beautifully told, gorgeously worked story. I loved the music, and adored the voice acting. I enjoy a well crafted tale, and this absolutely qualifies.
Itinerant Mercenary Thank you. It was a lot of hard work, but the actors made my job a lot easier!
Otis is the voice of fear. Thanks for what you do man.
MixMasterBoon Otis wasn't even in this.
This was brilliant. Kudos to the voice actors and Jeff.
Good music and terrific sound effects. But I've seen this story before in Ray Bradbury's 'The Crowd' and the old Twilight Zone episode 'The Hitchhiker.'
I remember listening to this exact episode in 2015. It gave me the creeps then and sure enough I’m scared to sleep again. Thanks guys 🤕🤭
A masterclass production of a totally gripping story.
What a fantastic comment! CTFDN crafted a brilliant production, didn't they? And I'm really chuffed that you enjoyed the story. Thank you for taking the time to leave a message.
Great job. Well done by the narrator and captivating story line. 👏🏼
This is the first video I have watched from your channel. Gotta say, your storytelling and the sound effects were on point. It was real creepy and had me on edge as the story progressed. Bravo to you and the others who worked on this!
When everything is going fine and all of a sudden you hear the car accident in the video. Wow, that was just awesome. Great work done.
I am 99% sure the Thin Man is a reaper.
Duh !!
He is the reaper, why is he at funeral? According to what I know of the reaper he comes when die I am like on your death bed.
Brilliant. I’m a big fan of audio much more than TV. This was a lucky find.
Plenty more where this came from!
Chilling Tales for Dark Nights Listened to a few now. Fantastic.
The man who plays the "Thin Man" (I don't if it's Peter Bishop or David Lewis :p ) has such a sexy voice x)
Very well written story, and even better narrated, very good job this was one of my favorites ;)
Clèves judith That would be David Lewis Richardson. He's great i'nt he?
Chilling Tales For Dark Nights
Yes, he makes his character so creepy, and at the same time very likable, I really like his way to act, and this character suits his voice perfectly ! Peter Bishop also did a great job of course, he has a good way to accentuate his character's manners through voice tones, and it makes it more alive ;)
So, well, great actors for a great story, as always, thanks !
He's got a mad sexy voice, like melt me into a puddle sexy. I dunno if that voice was pinned to that character to further his weirdness but I don't care! Delicious
Very smooth, yet rough, like leather. Very sexy ;)
I thought the story line was brilliant and i didn't expect the mourner end up the way he did, the accompaniment really brought it too life!
I really loved the ending. It's what I really want to happen to people who are impatient and especially rude when there is a funeral procession going on the road. *I still have this thought when a bastard was honking, trying to pass by my guests following the hearse driving to my father's grave*.
People who think they have the right to be arrogant, rude and impatient to do whatever they want and disrespect a person without consideration, deserves what they get in their outcome of being an ass on the road and to people. WHICH TURNS OUT WELL BECAUSE I SEE THEM AS CRABBY ASS LONELY PEOPLE WHEN I PASS BY THEM. I even have proof because I have a lonely, arrogant, bitter, racist middle-aged lady who lives across from me. Nothing turns out well for her when she tried to make someone have a terrible day because in the end something bad happens to her without or with the person she was trying to harass. Either it would be she fell and humiliates herself, she steps in her dog's shit, gets a blind date with an ugly guy, or forgot her house keys. (I hear this constantly from loud nosey neighbors who are friends with that awful person whenever I go get my mail. God, I sometimes wonder if they have hearaids, they are 2 old ladies with nothing else to do). Also the lady across the streets harass people because she has nothing else to do. That was her reason from all the yelling and shouting nonsense at my guest when they tried to talk to her reasonable about her snooping around their cars, taking pictures, and even tried to tow it. We had to think bitter to understand what her scrambled words meant.
Wishing death upon someone for being rude would make you just as bad, if not worse, than the arrogant, impatient and unpleasant people we all deal with daily.
And bad things happen to perfectly good people, too. Because that's life, sadly.
I certainly enjoy a tale with morals and karma for poorly behaved or depraved people, but Katie didn't deserve to die. It's a well-crafted and excellent story, nonetheless.

I do so many shifts that when I get home once things are all done .... HorrorBabble relaxes me takes me away ... Thank you All 🙏 this was Absolutely Great as always ....
Hell yeah CTFDN is back! For a while I thought this channel was slipping. But hearing this story and A Promise Lasts Forever, made me think again. Great story. Well written. Great narration and voice acting. Great sound effects, music and production. Keep it up!
Damian Callahan Never count us out, brother ;) With such a variety of cast, crew and stories, you're bound to find something you enjoy.

You're welcome 😊
This story was so beautifully written and I loved it!! 💜
Lovely comment, Michele. Thank you for taking the time.
@@garethshore3217 are there more of your stories on this channel, I’m fairly new but your story was by far one of my favorite ones?! 😊
@@michelebell1997 Tried to reply twice now with links to other stories, but my messages keep disappearing. Are you on Twitter?
While not really scary; this was a really beautiful story. The twist ending was well received. Thank you for stories like this and keep up the wonderful work.
The ending was a real twist!
Glad you liked it. It's nice to know it wasn't too predictable! Thanks for the comment.
Magnificent and truly captivating, I didn’t want the story to end.🌹
Thanks for the lovely comment!
@@garethshore3217 thank you for the wonderful story 😊
@@chrissygreig2277 Try this one and see what you think. Hope you enjoy it and thanks again. th-cam.com/video/NLEiRtFRwz8/w-d-xo.html
A masterpiece. Thank you for this beautiful story, having strongly triggered my imagination.
Greetings from Luxemburg!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
That's a lovely comment. Chillingtales really did a top-notch production didn't they? Thanks, Lenny!
Amazing production. Alicia was literally born to narrate! Incredible. Im only new on the scene, but I can only dream to become a quarter as amazing as these narrators are! 💞
Alicia did a brilliant job, as did the whole production crew!
@@garethshore3217 completely agree sir! They were all amazing.
Incredible story. You need to do more of these.
Thanks for the lovely comment. Chillingtales really did a great job, didn't they?
YISSSS
will watch tonight. Thanks for the awesome stories! I always look forward to these.
Curiosity killed the Katie. The Thin Man was a delightfully creepy guy.
Thanks for the comment! Glad you liked it.
Yeah, you got me by the nerves and never let go!
Really glad you liked it. The audio production really added to the atmosphere. Great job by CTDN!
Love love love CTFDN! 1ST!! Can't get enough of Otis Jirys' amazing voice! I'm a fan of the chilling and all things McCobb...keep eem coming, you've got a fan for life!
october gonzalez Who is McCobb? Unless you're trying to say macabre. And Otis Jiry wasn't even in this.
Brian R my daughter was using my phone lol... but yes I do believe that is what she meant, lol, thanks!
Brian R I also believe she knew otis wasn't in this one but wanted to say how much she liked him while having the opportunity...she's 11 years old...and was talking about all the narrators of CTFDN, when saying she loves the tales. While I appreciate your correction of the macabre statement, nit picking ppl comments isn't nice, especially when you don't know exactly who's behind them...HAGD!
october gonzalez I don't see anything wrong with what I said. Given that she's 11, I may have just taken out the word "even" and left everything else unchanged. HAGD to you as well.
Brian R October Gonzalez haggard
Just from the "old" man's description-from his odd suit, to his white hair, to his spryness, and even the way he spoke-I could've sworn it was The Doctor. Plus, the fact that he's been to "so many funerals," AND had a future copy of her magazine...I mean come on, it's obvious! XD Excellent story as always!
FlowerGirl9016 You mean like Doctor Who?
This is really quite excellent, in respect to both the writer and narrator. None of the description or dialogue seems superfluous, and every detail matters. It certainly fits as the #1 story of CTfDN's Best of 2015.
Fantastic story !! Love it !!
Thanks! Really glad you enjoyed it. The Chilling Tales team did a great job, didn't they?
I read this story it is very good .you have done such a good job on the Narration👌👍🏼❤
I wish there was a photo to match with this story, I would've loved to see it as I listened. Staring at the depressing scene while thin man creepily stared back. Ah, Death, you strike again ;)
subscribed i like these long form stories much better than the creepypastas i listen to
+gatorraid These are the type of stories we love best here at CTFDN, too. Plenty more of this to come in 2016!
The Mourner was a truly outstanding reading. Brilliant diction, Mssrs Jiry and Diemos now have an equally talented Young Lady at the top of the Narration Tree hopefully we will be hearing more from her.
Wow!, first rate writing & acting...the kind of story you hope to find
Thanks for the lovely comment! Appreciate it.
Beautifully put together....
Bloody good show.
Props to CTFDN for a great production!
Excellent.
Chuffed that you liked it. The excellent production really gave the story 'oomph', didn't it?
Wonderful voice acting!
Fantastic voice! Thankyou💙🤘💐
Great description in this one
I love chilling tales
The last vid was too complicated to fall asleep to, maybe this onell work
Awesome!
Really glad you enjoyed it. CTFDN's production was brilliant, wasn't it?
This story was Intreaging it kept me interested in how it would play out, and all around was enjoyable.
As for this "thin man" I dont know but I have a theory, He seems to fit all the quality's of a angel of death to me.
oh NOOO !!! I DIDNT WANT IT TO END !!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Just amasing! Thanks for the awesome story!
BRAVO!
I am a Night-Hawk at times, as my personal and occult activities such as writing , meditation , giving thanks , contemplation , coming up with ideas , recording my own talks , to be given as ''podcasts'' , and Being an open Door for the World Teacher..
From the description of the photograph I couldn't stop imagining the thin man as one of the Gentlemen from that silent Buffy episode 'Hush'
What was the significance of "Edna Bradbury"?
crubs83 The fact that her grave was marked with a date of Sept 1st, 1897 hints that there's something a little different about the Thin Man, if his claim to have been at her funeral is true..
Edna Bradbury died over a hundred years before so the significance was that 'The Mourner' wasn't a mere mortal!
That was amazing, I'm in!
Chilling Tales did a great job, didn't they?
It. Just keeps getting better love the story teller
This is an older video. Have you just discovered us, Patterson?
Wow the end got me O-O
I loved this story even though I kind of guessed he was Death halfway through, great work!
gareth shore is my english teacher at school
Well done👽I very much enjoyed this one,have to say that it's one of the better ones I have listened too in some time
Great story and background sounds! Narrator also very good!
Really glad you like the story - the production was excellent from Chilling Tales, wasn't it?
@@garethshore3217 Yeah I totally agree, love this channel!! 👍🏼👍🏼
@@claredyj2015 They've done a few other of my stories, if you would like to try them.
@@garethshore3217 Yes Id love to, can u let me know the names and I’ll take a look?
@@claredyj2015 That's great. I'd love to know your thoughts (good and bad - I can take it!). Try th-cam.com/video/wG_qyLBY6cc/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/NLEiRtFRwz8/w-d-xo.html
Your descriptions give away too much of the story in my opinion...
tdm17mn which is why I try not to read them :p
tdm17mn It was pretty much the story paraphrased. A good 95% of the story is in it lol
good thing ive read your comment first before going to the description.
Hearing Thin Man's voice in this story reminds me of Death from Supernatural
Can someone with a greater capacity for empathy explain why the thought of publicly exposing someone's grief drove her to act so crazy? I would think that to the star, her own family's support would be enough. Who cares who else knows a member of your family is dead?
That's what I don't understand though. I just can't equate a funeral with anything deeply personal enough to warrant such emotion. A private cremation maybe, but a funeral right out in a public cemetery doesn't seem like a secret to begin with; and as a star wouldn't she be used to every aspect of her life being inane small talk anyway?
When you break it down logically like you did, you're right. It doesn't make sense. But someone in the moment who is already in an emotional state of wtf isn't going to be that logical. If she was, she'd be without empathy justifying her invasion of privacy and cheapening of an intense moment of grief in another human being who would be soon watching the media explode over her loss. It would haunt the woman who is already faced with the daunting task of getting on with her life despite the huge hole in it and prevent her from moving on. Also, the funeral was probably the deceased's wishes and it was performed in a private area to avoid such intrusion. What the photographer did was wrong. Having a funeral doesn't mean that people have the right to take photos of you to entertain thousands. It's right up there with an asshole partner posting your sex tape online. Sure, you willingly did it but it was to only be for the two of you to enjoy. Does it mean you deserve to be exposed? No.
Mande Peer Ahhh. Thank you.
SIMPLY EXCELLENT !
Great story, great performance
Three Questions, so the slim guy is a personification of Death? Like The Grim Reaper? And when he says " l will be there" he means he will be at her Funeral? So she dies in the Car crash? And how does he have the ability to get a Magazine that is'nt even printed yet?

^.^ yay story time!
CHECK!
I really enjoyed this one, but I kept thinking about the Thin Men in XCOM. Actually, that made it even creepier.
The thin man reminds me of Death from the show Supernatural.
Omg i just wrote the exact same comment before i saw yours !!!
@@samenderya13 Thats nuts.
It was'nt supposed to be a mystery it's the very fact that the outcome is inevitable and fated to happen that gives it the horror...knowing what is coming yet still being powerless to avoid it is a story telling mechanic that plays on primal fear.....imho of course, great job by all i thought thank you!!
Got it in one, Paul! The intention was to show that the Thin Man was obviously 'otherworldly' (a kind of parasitic supernatural being - not necessarily the Grim Reaper) quickly and create a sense of inevitability, rather than reveal it in the kind of final twist that many readers - especially in the horror genre - expect. Glad you enjoyed it and you're right, CTFDN did a great job with it!
Thanks for the comment.
This one worked
Awesome! For some reason, I keep thinking it was taken from Supernatural's Death.. The imagery, dialogue and voice is very much similar!
Thin man giving me them salad-finger vibes.
Sameeee
Love the story line and the twist ending!!😱
Keep up the outstanding work!
Thanks! Appreciate the comment!
Hey, there is this cool creepy pasta called the strangers its a favorite of mine and i would love to hear you guys make something special out of it
Interesting story, but this story's ending was obvious about 3 minutes in.
Danke x
LOVED IT!
:-)
That was a good one!
I like to imagine Katie to be jade from bride of chucky and the chief editor to be dr Marvin monroe from the simpsons and the thin man to be the purple guy from fnaf
This story reminds me of the Phantasm series
I love Alicia Pavlis voice
The mourner reminds me of the antagonist Barlow in Stephen Kings Salems Lot.
Interesting. I'm a King fan but - and I know this is shameful - I have never read Salem's Lot! What's the connection? Is it manner? Appearance?
@@garethshore3217 Manner I think. Salems Lot is my favorit King book. You must read it.
@@grimlund I'll get to it as soon as I can. Thanks! Hope you enjoyed The Mourner.
Perhaps Katie should have driven with more attention to her driving instead of dividing her thought pattern with other subject matter? Fantastic tale of intrigue & insight.
A very sensible observation! Thanks for lovely comment!
😂 cool ending' 💀 👍
Chilling Tales did the whole story real justice, but the ending is a beauty! Thank you for listening and for the comment.
Welcome to the club ;)
moonraven should animate this
singer girl that'd be nice....
Ashley Martinez I hope its the next moonraven video I hope it is or if he does something else still I'll be chill
That camera, man... It went from Kodak to smart phone back to kodak
