The Sandman

Stories by the Fire will be released this Friday!

I must give a disclaimer, this story is very disturbing and my be too much for people to handle. This is probably the most disturbing story I have written. Some people may want to skip this one. I'm not sure if I will upload this to Spotify lol.

This story has opened my eyes even wider to the content on my channel. I have gone away from your traditional creepypasta stories. I have been writing a lot more lately.
I like variety. So I will give you all more of a variety. I must stay true to my channel banner!

Moving forward, any story with a red border, comes with a hard warning to my audience. The story may be graphic and disturbing, proceed with caution!

Thank you for your continued support!

I do apologize about tonights video. I ran into a copyright issue that I feel YouTube has gotten wrong. They have flagged my video. I am unable to release this video until YouTubes investigation is finished. This is getting really annoying.........

Excited for this one! Testing this to see how the audio sounds in ear buds.
If everything sounds good....will be released this FRIDAY! I do have a question for you.... what kind of ear buds or headphones are you using? Let me know!

Before I release my latest video, I must ask, does disturbing content bother you?
Of course my latest project skirts the line of disturbing....and I mean disturbing. This is not your typical "Creepypasta" or "Nosleep" story. Long story short (not pun intended), I want to see whos still here and what you enjoy. I battle this all the time. I write a story and then I ditch the project because I feel its too disturbing because I have branched away from creepypasta and nosleep.

"Softball Story"
Ive been working on a new story for a few weeks now. Sneak peek lol.
Honestly, I might leave it titled "A Softball Story".

This one of course..........will be a slow burn. So if you enjoy slow burns and pay attention, you'll love the detail within it.

If you are seeing this...THANK YOU! Lol I've been remonetized! Its a blessing, but also I don't know how to feel. I've slowly been pushing my content to Spotify and I've scrapped a huge project for youtube.

I'm caught between focusing on Spotify and YouTube. For everyone who has stayed with me...thank you. Its been a ride and I'm still here. This will definitely be a re build for me no matter what route I take. I've lost a lot of subscribers and views, so I must work harder to rebuild. Any like, heart, thumbs up, comment, follow, subscribe helps me out a lot.

I've been working on a few more slow burn stories and I have a writer who has submitted some crazy stories that are very good. Who loves a good slow burn with a twist?


If I've kept your attention this long, thank you and check me out on Spotify. My stories are slightly different. I've been trying to remaster and add different sound tracks to give you a different feel.

Check me out on Spotify!

Whats going on everyone! I hope you all are doing great!

Sooooooooo I lost my appeal and I will remain demonetized. I'm actually not mad. I'm more mad at the fact that YouTube called me inauthentic. It takes me months to write these stories. It takes me months to find stories. It takes me weeks to edit. But at the end of the day, I lost my appeal and there is nothing I can do.

Am I done? I thought I was. But I realized how much I enjoy doing this. I enjoy writing. I enjoy reading other peoples stories. Big shout out to Lester! I haven't forgot about you or bring your stories to life. I owe you.

I want to thank all of you for supporting me. I know I haven't been the best narrator and giving you fresh stories every week like some narrators do. I do have a job that takes my time. My kids are in sports. I do coach and train. I do have responsibilities. It does keep me going when I do see everyones comments on here and getting engaged.

I'm not done. I am in the process of migrating over to Spotify. I am retouching some of my old projects. I am optimizing them for the new platform. Honestly, I do feel like I should be on Spotify as a faceless channel. Will I continue YouTube? Yes. But it will not be a priority. It will be hard for me to post on here since YouTube said my hardwork was inauthentic. I use 3 programs to record and edit audio. I use photoshop for images. If you go back to my video, The Sandman Origins, those pictures are all hand drawn. My daughter drew them and for a lot of them, I went in with my left hand to make them creepier. The story, "Happy Birthday", is half true. Some of that actually happened to me. Long story short.......its a slap in the face to me. I will focus on Spotify but still upload to YouTube.

Thank you for everyone's support. It truly means a lot to me. At the end of the day, I hope EVERYONE succeeds in whatever they attempt. If you fail, try again. You got it. Share positivity and keep pushing forward. I hope to see/hear from you all on other platforms!

I need YOUR help! YouTube just demonetized me. For an appeal, I have to make a video showing them what I do. Basically I feel they think I am AI. So what do I do? I narrate stories. I write stories. So I need a story idea. The first person to give me an idea, i'm going to write a quick little YouTube short video. OR, someone can write a short story for me to narrate. When I mean short, I mean no more than 200 words. Lets see what I got lol!

My apologies to everyone! I had to pull a True Crime story short. I got my facts wrong. I actually blended 2 stories together that I had been writing. I don't want to spread misinformation. I have removed the video so it does not spread.

Moving forward, I will make sure I get my facts straight and write 1 story at a time. Working on a series, I have tried to group stories together and things happened. I apologize.
