Yes, we know we have covered this one before, but it's very much a team favourite and we always intended to go back and do a remake. This has all new artwork, much better narration and sound quality as well as a wealth of added information, particularly around the keepers themselves. There are also one or two new theories regarding what happened. Enjoy!
Good to see you guys back like the remastered version of this one it's great.
Great video, guys! This is an oldie but a goodie, and I'm glad you revisited it!
This episode still is my favourite. Will check this revised one later!
Favourite one of mine.
Completely unnecessary as the original release was great. But thanks for revisiting it.
I don't care if this has been covered before, i am just glad that he uploaded a video.
Tonight, what happened to the Bedtime Stories crew? Join us.
I really do use these as bedtime stories. Pop in the ear buds and drift off. Glad for a remaster if nothing else.
*they. they are a group, I think there's 4 of them (writer, narrator, artist, and sound)
I wish they uploaded more frequently. But I guess they put a lot of work and effort into their stories.
The problem is CZcams is killing its own platform, I’m not surprised they had a break over the holidays either
You are my little bit of joy in this rotten lockdown. At 61 l still love creepy stories. You lads are the best. The illustrations are perfect. Please...don't ever stop !
I'm in between at 64 and I love this channel. Superb writing and narration, very impressive artwork and overall eerie atmosphere. Ironically, I have to thank the lockdown. Cooped up at home I discovered this channel by accident and have watched every single episode.
@@glendanison3064 hello Glen. Another one wide awake. Haha. Since lockdown and on furlough my sleep pattern has gone down the pan. Done every episode of BTS. Pity they not longer and more of them. Enjoyed their personal experiences. Had a few myself.
@@juliatownsend5922 hello back to you Julia. I've found some other quality creepy youtube channels as well such as Top Mysteries and Top5s. Here in the States, there is the Missing 411/Canam Project which deals with unbelievably bizarre disappearances in the national parks in the US and Canada. BTS has included some of these. Plus Buzzfeed Unsolved which is delivered with a style of gallows humor. Check these out if you haven't already. They've been keeping me enthralled, a sort of dark escapism.
I hope I am the same way as you all when I reach my 60s. I love creepy stories. If it wasn’t for the lockdown, I probably wouldn’t of found this channel. At the same time, their stories kept me entertained during my walks since lockdown started. I have listened to many more than once!
@@glendanison3064 hey..l s great fan of David Paulides! Missing 411 had me every night. Bigfoot chronicles was fascinating listening to peoples encounters. All these channels l listen to at bedtime. Like there isn't enough nightmare material out there!! I love mysteries. Keep the grey matter alive 👵
When you go back to level one just to flex your new skills.

Indeed
Loved your channel,the caption up on were huge help for someone whose english is not their mother tongue 👍
New Game +
The one that started it all.
Your illustrations have come such a long way. You guys should be proud of yourselves.
This story was the first video of this channel I watched, and I've binged every episode since! Thanks for two years of good, creepy stories, Bedtime Stories!
Same!

I thought this seemed like a reupload or something.
@@JasonON at first glance yes
This was one of the early stories I listened to when I first found out about Bedtime Stories. I can watch many of them and not get sick of it
I don't care if it's a do over ....still fabulous to recount ...thankyou bedtime stories
I disagree. Yes it's well done however it's the same story. Its unacceptable to recycle the same content over and over. You're viewers deserve better
@@theshape3988 :"your"
May the souls of these three men rest in everlasting peace.
@@kjhman That's not my name.
@@kjhman No, I told a joke. You just got my name wrong.
May Manannán Mac Lir grant them rest. (I used Manannán Mac Lir in a prayer as he is considered a sea god).
@@mirandagoldstine8548 May God and Manannán Mac Lir grant them peace in their eternal rest.
@@TheAKgunner Aye. Hopefully they are at peace. Although I know from stories about ghosts that they tend to haunt when they have unresolved issues.
I find it interesting that the only real thing that separates "a mystery " from what obviously happened, is the lack of somebody actually witnessing it. I feel for those 3 men. Stuck on an island with no concrete way to communicate to the mainland and no way to get back, in such treacherous and clearly, life threatening conditions. RIP.
Awesome, albeit heart wrenching video, as always.
I spoke to someone who employed people for strange jobs, he said there was never a shortage. Many people seek these jobs, often they used get in touch as soon as there was a possibility of a position.
@@TheRflynn heh, I've heard that anything above minimum wage has no shortage of applicants. Danger? enh just be careful not to get hurt......
LOL..WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT...obviously a witness to something absolves it from mystery...and of course when we dont know what happened...it becomes a mystery...so..what exactly dont you understand about such an obvious reality....and what about it makes you question it?
@@jadezee6316 Well, there's a lot of things we don't know. The keepers were never found. nor was any hard evidence to show where they were before vanishing. These are questions that an eye witness could answer.
@@jadezee6316 You confirmed everything I already said, in your own words and then asked what I'm talking about??
Never once did I mention that I don't understand or question anything. So I should probably ask what you're talking about, but I'm really not interested tbh.
Wow you guys. Don't get me wrong. I enjoyed the original version. I've listened to it many times. But this version shows how much you've grown as artists and storytellers. Nice job guys!
This story still gets to me. There’s something about an isolated place - a lighthouse or any isolated place - that is so weird to me.
In your war stories series can you do the story of Sheean please. An Australian hero.
I, myself, have always been intrigued by lighthouses.
Say, who's this Sheean person?
i think its a different guy who does the war stories
Same isolated places creep me out 😰 I get chills and my hair stands up
Mark felton does war stories
It's so frustrating when people continue to attach falsehoods to an otherwise true story and muddy the whole thing. Even *if* the log entries of weeping and irritability had existed, it doesn't prove murder or a sudden psychotic break on the part of any of the three men.
I did clock that when he said its an insult to their memory to insinuate they were crying. Only to then insinuate that one of the men murdered the others as the likely explanation.
@@Justin-zp7rz I don't think they insinuated it was the likely explanation, just a possible one.
@@aimeem yeah the "explanation" that they killed each other was always the most far fetched to me. It's just... why? There was never a real reason for it. It took a lot of empty conjecture not supported by facts.
The most important thing to me is the way the lighthouse was damaged. That we do know to be true. While it might seem risky to try to go out in a storm and work on it, especially lacking rain gear, it doesn't stretch of the facts.
Some entity must have offed them and propagated this murder-suicide theory
That’s American sensationalism for you
This is one of the mysteries I find the most intriguing and I always like to go back to it. It reminds me of the Mary Celeste, which also had embellishments like uneaten food and signs of a mild disturbance
this is one of those cases that's a classic mystery. We simply don't have enough evidence to know what happened.
Damn I didn’t even know those were embellished.
It's creepy to imagine them remaining eerily empty and silent for days or weeks before someone finds them
Honestly, I'll probably never get tired of hearing this.
The introduction of additional voices really helps give new body to the people in these stories. Also,there's nothing wrong with going back on old videos especially when new evidence and theories come to light.
That last scene of the lighthouse with the three men stood in front, who gradually fade away, was heart breaking. RIP gentlemen, may God bless your souls.
I've heard this tale many times before but never the information about the false log entries invented by the US magazine.
Good wishes.
This is like getting a Blu-ray release to a VHS copy of a classic movie.
I just wanna say thank you for revisiting this. The more clear information over what was embellished over the years (and a reminder that clocks then needed to be wound) to me, this just feels like a horrible accident as opposed to foul play or aliens. That's something I really appreciate about your stories. Yes, we get the fantastical speculations that have been made, but also the rationale and pointing out flaws in various theories. These stories feel researched, fleshed out and the artwork is just amazing. Thanks for your hard work, guys!
One of the best ones! This is the one I show everybody when I'm telling them about this channel. Keep up the awesome work, can't wait till the next one!!!
May they rest in peace, and their loved ones have my best wishes.
Absolutely my favourite channel ❤️ I’m an early riser so I tend to wake just before dawn and it’s my favourite time to drink my coffee and watch your videos ❤️
This was my favourite story of all your videos. I go back to it at least once a week and listen to it all over again. Can’t wait to listen to the remake.
Happy to have you back!!!! Hope all is well.
As far as the mystery itself, the reasons I can think of for one not needing their oil skins would be:
1. As suggested, just a quick check outside.
2. Had to rush out in an intense hurry to help or save someone.
3. The individual did not need one - as in they were already deceased? Could the keeper that had been there for too long have lost it, only to be accidentally killed by the two others, perhaps trying to restrain him? In a panic they straightened up and decided to toss the body, thus dawning their gear, only to fall in with the deceased?
I work 3rd shift alone in a sketchy part of the city , this channel has scared the hell out of me more than once .
Thanks for the spooky nights I’ve had 💯
One of my favorite mysteries, and my introduction to Bedtime Stories.
Thank you all for updating this one!
I've commented before about the excellent writing, sound, and narration. But, I also have to commend highly the graphics, artwork and animation. Even though I watched this episode before, it's still eerie and suspenseful. Not just the real life story, the sadness, and the utter mystery but because of the excellence and high standard production of this and every episode.
I hope the entire team are healthy and safe as are your family and friends. We shall overcome and better days are ahead.
Thanks so much all of you. I wait for new episodes and go to your channel page and always find something I've somehow passed over. And I'm always entertained and informed. Keep up this great work. I'm in America and getting ready to watch a rerun of a "Vera" episode. So, it's a spooky Northern Town sort of night here in the northern town--rainy, stormy Seattle.
Thanks again.....
Wow. This is the best video I’ve seen on this incident. So much detail. Fantastic work!
I still put on old stories that you all posted in the past to fall asleep to. Excited to listen to this remake!
The flannan lighthouse was always my favourite! Even with the earlier artwork and narration. This remake is just a great bonus!
My bet is a large wave overtook the island and swept one or more of them away. The last keeper went to see what was wrong and got hit by a similar wave.
Do you know how high up from the sea that island is? It isn't a short hop from the shore. The wave would have to be one of the biggest in human history
I literally said “wow” at the end. I thought this would be dead as it’s been gone over so much but you guys really spelled it out plainly and the artwork was incredible
I’m so glad you included the fact that the “logbooks” were fictitious So many others cover this story without doing the research. Great job!👍🏼.
My birthday and a reprise of my fav horror story channel......thank you @Bedtime Stories!
Happy Birthday!
@@BedtimeStoriesChannel Thank you so much
I really love the way you folks tell this story without sensationalizing it.
Just as I get ready to crash for the night. Y'all upload a new video, my joy knows no bounds. Looking forward to more stories involving cryptids in the future :)
My interest in lighthouses and my searching for videos on lighthouse keeping is what led me to your original video on this mystery...and to me becoming a fan and subscriber to your channel back in 2018. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much for the clarification regarding the fabricated parts of that story,(food on table, chair, etc,..) I've heard this story so many times due to curiosity, and the eeriness of it all, and not once have I heard that those mentioned were fabricated along the way! This puzzles me, as to why so many videos and articles on the subject get this wrong?! But either way, I am grateful for you and your team going the distance, to educate and entertain your audience, and all while being most respectful to the deceased and their friends/family, and showing tasteful, most awe-inspiring artwork the world has to offer. Most definitely the best story telling channel on CZcams. I wish you all the best. Keep up the good work, and thank you for Bedtime Stories.
Thank you for the update! This mystery has fascinated me for many years.
watched the original many many times, definatly one of my favourites. This reupload was supergood, but what i noticed the most was that this one was alot more emotional. Great job as always
Heard this story so many times but this channel made it sound like a whole new, original story, and with more facts than I have heard before.
Great job, thank you.
The subtle animation, the great illustrations, and fantastic storytelling keep me watching even regarding retelling. So glad I came across this channel, you guys rock, and thank you.
This is one of my favourite stories from your channel. Thanks for the remake! Love it.
One of the first videos I watched of yours was about this mystery. Trully heartbreaking and fascinating to go with it. Thank you for going back to it once again. It reignites that interest and keeps this memory of these men alive. Very well done!
Oh my. I'm in Scotland. Its 23.35. I've had several vodkas and two ciders. Still watching this remake but will have to watch it again tomorrow!!!!!!! Thank you BS x
Missed my bedtime story hit... love everything about this top drawer channel, Cheers gents.
I kind of knew i had heard this one before, but I love all your work so it was nice to hear it again. This story always intrigued me. It sucks that some things will never be solved.
This should be the definitive retelling of this story - certainly in an online capacity.
There has been far too much ridiculous, and often offensive, speculation over the events that occurred in 1900.
Brilliantly done - as good as Bedtime Stories have ever done, and that's saying something.
Offensive? To who? It's been 120 years, give it a rest with the triggering.
@@uriustosh Yet I'm not "triggered"...but it would appear that you are "triggered" by my comment.
@@uriustosh It´s still retarded that so many CZcams channels jump on that shit and make up all kinds of things, for example the diary-entries that actually never existed. It´s destroying a tiny part of history witch fictional shit because they want to get the views, and that´s the actual offensive part to me
Not really, it has some blatant misinformation in it. The journal entries that this video talk about never existed
Having worked as a trawlerman fishing in this area in winter I believe they were washed away during the storm the weather is absolutely brutal around that area
Yeah I think so as well. They were washed away by a rogue wave. May they RIP
"bad luck to kill a seabird"
This really shows how far you've come with this channel well done all involved.
I stumbled upon your Zigmund Adamski video many years ago now, fell in love your channel there and then, was so excited to binge watch your other stuff only to realise the original of this and the Adamaski one were your only episodes out lol
Watched those first episodes more than I'd like to admit lol
Still check in every Sunday in case notification decides to not work, normally end up re watching the latest few tucked up in bed, as it is Bedtime Stories 😁
I like binge watching your playlist and to see this one being redone was a surprise. Good stuff!
Big fan of the updated artwork! This is also one of my favorite discussions on this channel.
I found it interesting when you said that the accounts of the event in the log book were being treated as untrue. there have been many examples of those who work in light house's that be came on to hard time used whatever then had to document their last days or moments. So why wouldn't it be possible in this case? Also long times in isolation has been known to cause people to lose their sanity, so who's to say that something did take place that caused these men to begin acting unlike themselves.
@Suðringa o I was saying over all, maybe not in this case but in other's.
@@mleighqs8773 yeah but that's empty speculation. Sure it's a thing that can happen. did it happen here? apparently not.
There were 3 men in that lighthouse, not the same as being on your own.
@@Ob1sdarkside I never said he or any of them were alone.
@@Ob1sdarkside
It doesn't work like that though does it?
The production on this is fantastic. Particularly the wind sounds at the very end. Amazing work!
The Lighthouse (movie not book) was my first encounter of the incident and I have been intrigued ever since. Your video gave me a much-needed sense of closure.
An epic vanishing people story. Thanks for covering this one again. I give it a solid 5 David Paulides moustaches out of 5.
David paulides is a sham
🥸🥸🥸🥸🥸❤❤❤❤❤️
In case someone will be interested.
There’s an amazing point and click horror adventure game, _Dark Fall: Lights Out_ based on this incident, from Jonathan Boakes - the creator of such an amazing game as “Lost Crown: Ghosthunting Adventure “ and many others in that style.
It’s truly a creepy and exciting ghost hunting game with chilling eerie atmosphere, and if you enjoyed listening to the story, I recommend you give it a go.
I've played it and can confirm, really enjoyable. Good thinking, I didn't make the connection to the story.
I have that game. It's good and eerie.
Cool... Thanks! Gonna check it out....💜
I imagine two of them were out working on repairs after the storm tore up one of the landings, something unexpected came up, the third man rushed out from the lighthouse to help, and they all fell into the water.
Hypothermia sets in pretty fast out in the North Sea, and the Flannan Isles are 32km out from the nearest inhabited islands. A week is a long time for wind and tide to carry away bodies.
Absolutely loving the voiceover of the keepers and supervisor.
Thank you for this updated version. Hoping you guys are able to create more soon. Miss seeing activity on this channel.
When the notification popped up I hit "Watch" so fast that I nearly broke my screen.
Be careful bro, phone screen replacement aint cheap, trust me on that😂😂
Bahaha, cracked screen crew
Funny enough I used to make a little bit of money on the side fixing and replacing mobile phone and portable game system screens back in the day.
I finally got a chance to see this remake and I must say it shows so very well just how far you have come in your narrative and artistic style. Well done indeed, lads! 💙
Love your storytelling and atmosphere. This channel RULES!
Who else loves ending the week settling into bed with the latest Bedtime Stories’ story?
For future videos, can I request the Order of Nine Angles, Dulce Base/underground lizard people, Sawney Bean and the Toronto Tunnel Monster?
Finally a reboot worth watching! 😁
Just superb. The best I've seen so far for capturing the right tone, pace, length, balance without tipping into absurdity, and delivery of facts. The artwork is absolutely spot on, and very beautifully animated to just the right degree. The music and sounds slot in unobtrusively and evoke the appropriate mood. I look forward to dipping into these regularly.
Anyone else love how respectful Bedtime Stories is to the victims of these horrible events? He treats them like human beings not just fictional characters whose deaths do not matter.
Yes
This makes me want to go watch The Lighthouse again. :D
You're quite fond of me lobster, ain't ye?
@@VanillaEnigma I don't have ta say nothin'!
Why dontcha eat ya beans
You bean there before?
Watch The Vanishing, it's much better and more realistic
Lmao, did no one else hear the chicken soup thing at the end?!
This was such a good video! It has such a nostalgic touch being your first big video that really got attention so seeing you guys come back and touch it up to reflect your improved skill was such a good choice! Keep up the good work, guys!
Such a beautiful but sad ending. I’ve always been fascinated by this mystery and loved your first telling of this story too. Great job.
Thanks guys, I really needed a this today. Your narration is amazing, and the art is beautiful.
Definitely worth a revisit, this has fascinated me since childhood.
it's amazing how I can hear the same stories on others pages but yet it still seems like a new story to me with better facts than others great work and amazing videos
One of my favourite and most enduring mysteries. Thank you for the update.
I rember watching the original, what scared fool I was back then, now I am just a fool
I think it is possible that they got Folie à deux. I mean they were left alone in a secluded place, with no contact with the outside world. If even one of them succumbed to some sort of delusions, the others could get affected by it too. It would've explained why despite their experience they would've gone out during dangerous weather conditions and why one of them didn't take his coat.
I mean in 2008 two twin sisters ran in front of a car and a lorry, and almost died, a married couple once thought that their house is being invaded and that the invaders spread fluff and dust and wear-down their shoes. In 2016 an entire Australian family went on a run because they thought someone is out to kill them. and it was pretty sudden too. and let's not forget the dancing plague. Plus when it comes to disorders different people react differently...and we still don't know what truly causes this particular one.
I still am creeped out because of the dancing plague. The concept sounds fun... but the experience is dreadful, I admit.
@callmecatalyst Well, even ridiculous theories can actually have a lot of neritt.
Remember the theory where the precursors to the FBI poisoned illegal alcohol containers so as to further the Prohibition for good? The theory where Soviet spies actually intensified the amount of protests in Western nations during the Cold War, let alone funded some peace movements? Crazy, but true after many years of mystery.
The ending got me emotional man three men who lost their lives two of them who had families and kids which were left with no closure of what happened but you're right abt the delusional stuff we can never know what is going on in a person's mind and lonely place like a lighthouse and being so detached from the real world is terrifying
May their souls find peace
Honestly I think this one is all the better for having been a path tread so many times before, including on this channel. The storytelling is masterful, the illustrations beautiful, the information so much more rounded and realistic than I've heard on the many other videos I've seen on the topic. I found myself gripped and excited by this story again even though I thought I'd heard it all, and it takes real talent to do that.
Thank you all for all the wonderful content. Absolutely love this channel, been following for quite some time...even @ 500k (ish) subs I still think this is a criminally underrated channel. Keep up the great work fellas, and thank you again. Wishing you all well from the states!
Where have you been? Listening to you helps with my panic attacks.
If you're going to remake any other videos, please do Mothman. I get goosebumps every time I watch it, but I'd love to see more illustrations and accounts of other alleged sightings outside Point Pleasant.
A nice update of a classic episode. It was one of the first I listened to, and it lost nothing being freshened up. Very nice
Thank you for humanizing this story and sticking to what facts are available and respecting the memory of these men and the feeljngs of their families. You are always such a gentleman.
Great revised episode guys! The last line about Chicken Noodle Soup made me laugh out loud! Please keep the original up as well though. Any news on the ones you took down to re-do? Elisa Lam, the Brazilian alien etc?

@@MURPHYCHACHO "You're fond of me lobster!"
Love, love, love your videos! The writing, the narration, the artwork....just perfect! My favorite CZcams channel. ❤️
One of my favorites! Remakes with new information is the best !
The fact that their fate is unknown makes it a mystery in the same way as the disappearance of someone sailing solo around the world. It was a dangerous, treachorous place where death can happen easily.
One of your better video though. Nice to see you becoming more prosaic.
That was wicked good and interesting it’s nice to hear the accurate telling of what is known before the men vanished - I’ve only heard the embellished account - thanks for actually putting in effort and research on this instead of just regurgitating the usual account !
I can't hear of someone "perishing by misadventure" without cracking up 😂 it sounds like an RPG.
Excellent video, as always!
This is one of those stories that is so interesting that it’s worth revisiting. I know it’s over a year later and I’ve seen this before but I wanted to thank you for the great work you’ve put into not only this video but the other videos you make. Keep up the great work!
This story never gets old, man. Nice work guys! 🇺🇸👊
_"Stick aruond, we're havin' chicken noodle suop!"_
xD
I love that you revisited this! I first heard about this eerie story many years ago and am still fascinated by it!
This episode, even as a reprise, was Pure Perfection ! Awesome work Guys !
After a months wait I am a little disappointed we got a remake to be honest. I have a feeling something happened to the team, like someone needed time off for some reason but still my second favorite channel. Cheers mates!
Love your content guys me and my wife listen to you in bed as we fall asleep most nights x
I want to thank you for not sensationalizing these stories, you give LOGICAL conclusions after considering the facts. You maintain your channel integrity, and I SINCERELY appreciate this.
Sub'd.
Yeah, been waiting for you guys to upload ... And you guys redid one of
my favorite stories !!! Well one of them :) thank you !!!
