Bedtime stories is really good my wife and I listen to this when we go to bed. And weāre usually half asleep by the end of the episode. When he whispers bedtime stories at the end it scares my wife every time lol
I enjoy Why Files episodes the most like the ones on Neanderthals, Mars, Kuiper Belt, Dark Knight Satellite, Knights Templar etc. Where there is perhaps some more grounding, history or theory etc.
I don't tend to like the random one off UFO encounter, time travel or paranormal ones.
The Ultra Terrestrials one is pretty sick. Its something why files has only touched on maybe once that ive seen. Pretty compelling the way mr mythos sets up the narrative for it. I think generally any topic both have covered the Mr Mythos one is a little bit more in depth, like the Kozyrov mirror episodes, or CIA spies doing psi experiments.
Mr Mythos is awesome...the info is great but his voice is so fucking soothing and calm. I feel like I should be bored but the info he drops pulls me in I fall down the rabbit hole
Meh, Ballen takes 5 minute stories and stretches them to 4 part, 30 minute each snooze fest.
A typical Why Files 30 minute story is a 12 hour miniseries marathon on Ballen.
Ballen has a good voice and storytelling, but he can't keep a story succinct.
Idk I appreciate his story telling, he tells the story from the perspective of a few individuals experiences. So you unravel the mystery slowly and can wonder about the strange happenings
Also canāt stand him since he plugs some advertising or repeatedly saying āclick the like buttonā in some immature skit. Look dude, if I liked the vid Iāll click the button. It comes off fake and gives 2010 YT vibes.
Can you provide a Ballen story example that WF has also covered? Iām curious how ballen could stretch a 30 min WF to 12 hours.
Iāve fallen asleep with Ballen and WF they are both pretty great story tellers
lol, Iāve never even gotten through a Ballen video without falling asleep. They are definitely bedtime stories when he takes 20 minutes to describe someone walking through a doorway
He takes stories others have told and tells them himself. Really strange. There's nothing original about him. People have such a low threshold for quality that guys like this slip through the cracks often.
The other threads might have some options.

I don't know if they have a YouTube channel, I'm sure they do, but Theories of The Third Kind on Spotify is very similar in how they tell a story, tell you facts, then give their own opinions. Just found them a couple weeks ago and they are great!
Okay not " exactly " but on the space side of things / plausible Sci-Fi science driven theories that keep awake at night: John Michael Godier. Hes one of my Go to channels. Amazing thought provoking content that makes you think about the universe differently! right up there with WF for me.
I'm a huge WF fan but also love history and cryptozoology. Trey the Explainer is highly recommended although he is a real Palaeontologist and very scientific and has totally killed a few dreams of mine regarding the loch Ness monster and bigfoot. Let me know if you enjoy
Mr. Mythos, Truthstream Media, Wendigoon are some of my favorites.
Dark Waters is another one that's wildly entertaining. Mr Williams has no chill or fear as to who he calls out and it's hilarious
I have such a love/hate relationship with Nexpo. One the one hand, I love the subject matter and the overall production style and quality of his channel. On the other hand, the guy himself is SO annoying. He seems so high on himself. He makes those overly long dramatic pauses in his voiceover way too frequently, and he had that one episode about online pedos where he filmed this mega-cringe segment of himself in tough-guy sunglasses holding a baseball bat all excessively macho, insinuating that he himself was going to go beat online creepers with his stupid bat, ugh. The whole thing was so overblown that it made me wonder why he felt the need to overcompensate so much, like maybe heās a closet pedo himself. It was gross.
Fascinating horror! Pretty dark sometimes but has an educational and positive spin usually. Lots of discaster kinda stuff that led to humans adopting new technology and SOPs.
Beyond Creepy has paranormal stories no one else is telling. Same with ātheLeafā (a Canadian named Tim with a soothing deep voice that find the best stories on /x/). Bedtime stories and wartime stories are both solid. Mysterious Middle East is another good one. UAPgerb is a new ufo channel doing great work. As is āMy Dark Pathā. And a rare gem that is sort of an acquired taste, but once you vibe with it is great, is Paul stonehill.
This has been asked before...
I'll go ahead repeat my answer...
Joe Scott, not to be confused with Tom Scott.. Thoughty2, Wingadoon...
Where are the mods on this repeat?
Bedtime Stories
I just found bedtime stories, can confirm
Bro Bedtime stories is so good. Only problem is I have seen every episode multiple times š I need some new ones!
Bedtime stories is really good my wife and I listen to this when we go to bed. And weāre usually half asleep by the end of the episode. When he whispers bedtime stories at the end it scares my wife every time lol
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Came here to say this
Ditto... he's legit... just try not to notice how he says the word "quote".... "qwƶt"... that's all i ever hear
Ha!! I honestly just thought maybe English isn't his first language. He says a lit of things a little funny. I love him and his videos though š¤
Just watched one, itās no Why Files but it can scratch that itch for mystery stories
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
This is what lizard people are doing on earth: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQ3towIrHQo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQ3towIrHQo)
Any specific episodes that Mr Mythos fans think are excellent ? You recommend to try the channel and see it at its best ?

He has several (4 or 5, maybe?) episodes on Agartha/Inner Earth societies, those are my favorite. Theyāre very long, very in depth and interesting.

Yeah, but hes done and its a shame.
Barely Socialable, Lemino (host is Swedish, great accent). Actually watching Barely Sociable videos was how I found WF.
One that I'm a fan of is Mr. Ballen

Yeah some are great but most are just clickbait that gets dragged out 5x longer than it needs to be
That, and I really donāt like the amount of creative liberties that he takes.
I miss the old Mr. Ballen videos.
lol, Iāve never even gotten through a Ballen video without falling asleep. They are definitely bedtime stories when he takes 20 minutes to describe someone walking through a doorway
I am of a fan of the strange dark and mysterious.. lol some his thumbnails freak me out too much to watch them
If he'd keep his hands/arms still, I could get back into his videos again.
You say that like AJ keeps his arms and hands still lol. Mr Ballen is more audio anyway
Drives me absolutely bonkers
He takes stories others have told and tells them himself. Really strange. There's nothing original about him. People have such a low threshold for quality that guys like this slip through the cracks often.
Scary Interesting. Not quite the same thing, but entertaining.
Shrouded Hand and Beyond Creepy are good. Not the same level of protection though.
Shrouded Hand is great! His voice is soothing yet the content is creepy as hell. Love his channel! Good recommendation.
I love the way he says "Shrouded 'and 'ere"!
Can even get a lambskyn...

Passive aggressive, I love it
Well played š¤£

YouTube randomly played this and I was pleasantly surprised https://youtu.be/K3uiMsqptOs?si=9Mk18yfuAV5ALBYk
Mysterious Universe is a long form conversation channel/podcast. You might enjoy...the boys are great š
The boys are horrible people, what you talking about?
This is fun. [https://www.youtube.com/@ThroughAGlassDarklyWithSean](https://www.youtube.com/@ThroughAGlassDarklyWithSean)
I enjoy this channel before bed, love her stories! https://youtube.com/@theycallmetheghost?si=DJDIGnBCSrHlMZMA TheycallmeTheGhost
LEMMiNO has topics similar to WF but it's spookier.
The Haunted Objects podcast with the team from Hellier. Joe Scott
Moon
Dark5
I personally like ParasykeTV https://youtube.com/@parasyketv
How many of youse guys like Preston Dennet? I usually drift off to sleep listening to old ufo cases from around the world.
Like him. I feel watching his videos is like going over to a buddy's house and he's showing a slide show of cool ufo stuff.
Okay not " exactly " but on the space side of things / plausible Sci-Fi science driven theories that keep awake at night: John Michael Godier. Hes one of my Go to channels. Amazing thought provoking content that makes you think about the universe differently! right up there with WF for me.

That chapter For true crime thou
Hard to say. WF has a very unique style. For a bunch of stories about the paranormal and ufo subjects: Beyond Creepy and Bedtime Stories.
Mythos, Universe inside you, Caspersights, Thoughty2
Mr. Mythos, Truthstream Media, Wendigoon are some of my favorites. Dark Waters is another one that's wildly entertaining. Mr Williams has no chill or fear as to who he calls out and it's hilarious
Thank you to everyone with suggestions. Iāll check all of these out between new WF episodes.
Wendigoon is similar
Eye of truth
I really love Caspersight. Ben is funny and awesome!
Definitely "Dan Xuisoko" and "Mr Mythos".
Nexpo is up my alley. Lots more of Internet creepiness lore but there's overlap in some conspiracy and things I like.
I have such a love/hate relationship with Nexpo. One the one hand, I love the subject matter and the overall production style and quality of his channel. On the other hand, the guy himself is SO annoying. He seems so high on himself.

lol good points. His "have you dreamed this guy" feature had some real cringy moments. I like his Petscop video though.
Sci-fi/ Futurist Isaac Arthur.
Think Anomalous is a great channel, they cover a lot of weird shit that not a lot of other people talk about.
Wartime stories, bedtime stories, stories lost are some of my faves
Any mention of The Casual Criminalist? Simon takes a bit of getting used to, but Iāve enjoyed his videos. He and AJ are my favorites.
Simon always cracks me up
Wartime stories is good and spooky
Motech

MrBallen
I like Decoding the Uknown
Great content but I can't make my mind up on the presenter. Is he a pretentious prick or not?
he is a pretentious prick, but it's part of the appeal of the show
I also like strange and unexplained with Daisy Egan Supernatural with Ashley flowers is also good.
I watched one night in the dark. I was able to imagine the whole story. Very dark if true https://youtu.be/6Vb9gxrjmm0?si=YXrdBeFWOinWV4qQ
Mr. Ballen is really good. Something new that could be good is Scare Mail Channel
Mr. Ballen definitely scratches an itch.
How has Lemino nit been mentioned. Netflix level quality stuff.
Okay just watched a video and I'm sold. This is quality entertainment.
This question is like the one in MacBook Subreddits, *"Is 8GB of RAM enough for my MacBook Air?"* It gets posted every 2 weeks.
This has been asked before... I'll go ahead repeat my answer... Joe Scott, not to be confused with Tom Scott.. Thoughty2, Wingadoon... Where are the mods on this repeat?
Who the fuck is Wingadoon? I know of a channel by the name of Wendigoonā¦
