      Edit: I think the way I would describe how the Bible verse felt to me was like.. "man's ignorance juxtaposed against something fully beyond man's comprehension"
      After all, the actual original description of Leviathan is basically a very artistic flourishy description of a crocodile lol.

    "You found a way to calm it down?"

    For those unaware, Podder is the pneumatics drill that Reg was talking about at the end. You have Hodder and Podder, Hodder being the drill that takes samples from the seabed.
    Podder is unfortunately built for sacrifices to the leviathan, you can tell by the way it's described as being a box with a crack in it. It's why seven people are always chosen from the rigs, to make up for the seven that will be sacrificed to appease the leviathan. Reg asked too many questions and he was therefore sacrificed.
    Whether Figgs was sacrificed or not via Podder is unknown, but he did realise what it was for. He likely witnessed seven crewmen being sent down in it and when he was told Podder returned without them he started putting the pieces together.

    There’s got to be something go on here with the literal sirens and the mythological sirens song. The word “siren” also is thought to literally have its roots in words meaning “rope, cord, tie, fasten, binder and entangler.”
    In the Odyssey, Odysseus has to be tied to his ship to avoid being lured in by the sirens. The song is is alluring and promises to reveal truths. If a man hears the song, but doesn’t leave satisfied, and stays to satisfy more curiosity, he is doomed and death becomes certain.
    I’d be shocked if this wasn’t intentional.

    Heh, I already knew the rest of the poem at 40:00
    Below the thunders of the upper deep;
    Far far beneath in the abysmal sea,
    His ancient, dreamless, uninvaded sleep
    The Kraken sleepeth: faintest sunlights flee
    About his shadowy sides: above him swell
    Huge sponges of millennial growth and height;
    And far away into the sickly light,
    From many a wondrous grot and secret cell
    Unnumber’d and enormous polypi
    Winnow with giant fins the slumbering green.
    There hath he lain for ages and will lie
    Battening upon huge seaworms in his sleep
    Until the latter fire shall heat the deep;
    Then once by men and angels to be seen,
    In roaring he shall rise and on the surface die.

The creature caught the narrator with its gaze and from there he was doomed, unable to stop himself from seeking more answers leading him right into the jaws of the beast.

    love the way the listener can pretty much make the entity into whatever they choose. and it's plausible. but for me the ocean is alive and they're holding it back from devouring the globe.

    I work up on Prudhoe bay on the oil and gas drilling rigs! It’s cold, flat and desolate. In the winter the sun completely sets for about 30 days not breaking the horizon. Even tho, it still lights up the day just barely, just for a while. Work camps are few and far between and there’s lots of strange action in the nights sky. Man you should do an awesome story about working rigs up there, thousands of scenarios and possibilities fir scary or haunted stories. You could pick my brain for material, I wouldn’t mind one bit! I’ve been up there working all types of hitches and tours from 2004 til now!! Love your stories bro, thanks buddy

    You have really outdone yourself wth this story D'S, I was riveted, lying in the dark, headphones on,
    It's just after midnight GMT. If I look out my bedroom window I can see the North Sea, living just across the road from the beach onto the North Sea, at this hour its jet black but calm wth moonlight glinting its surface..
    So apt was this story, your narration was above par
    excellent & musically superb
    Thank you for this.

      @@RudolfJvVuuren thank you, yes it is quite a sight. My North Sea view is where many of the Viking invaders came into this coastal area of Northumbria
      My village is called Seaton Sluice & is a wild & rugged coast but unspoiled, no tourist infiltration & its the way we like it. Not that we are xenophobic, we are very friendly & hospitable but we are clannish, its hard to explain, probably our Viking blood haha

    I always leave these and many other well known creepypasta story narrators on while trying to sleep, it soothes me, especially during this long stint in the hospital. Truthfully though this one I couldn't sleep to, I had to lay with my eyes closed, imagining what the "entity" looked like through your voice, i had to know what was going to happen next.
    You're amazing at what you do pal, and its been more helpful than you know while hospitalized this last year. Please keep it up, my only regret is I can't donate as of yet.
