He should go back 😂😂😮

Oil execs exchanging their workers' souls for business?
Sounds like a normal rig to me.
Business as usual
No doubt
You misspelled "oil execs". Should be "all execs".
You're welcome.

"These rules are so important that breaking one of them will result in a terrible fate"
Also boss: "Ill tell you the rules one by one, when the time is right"
Seems like a great way to get everyone killed to me.
And if you follow all the rules, you may be lucky enough to win the raffle and die a worse death than breaking the rules!
Did you know that you’re a sinner? But did you know that Jesus loves you and He can change that, all you have to do is believe that He died on the cross and rose from the grave 3 days later, repent, and accept God into your life, it’s your choice, Jesus loves you
@@MostrandomM_toexisttoday I'm good being a sinner, thanks
Makes for better suspense.
@@MostrandomM_toexisttodayDid you know that you're an asshole? But you can change that, all you have to do is stop bothering people with your stupid mythology.
When I hear the word "Raffle" my first thought was "Oh God, The crew is going to choose one of their own to be sacrificed to that thing that ate poor Barker." The ending was very disturbing
Same thought. Sounded like "The Lottery." Making the pathetic humans tear someone apart for its amusement and appeasement is a bit more horrifying.
Sound like a less deadly version of the lotto then legion runs but am sure someone is going to die painfully
That's what I thought too, 😮
I'm guessing the rest had to have a bite, off of poor Cliver...
Yeah, that didn't make sense, though. The raffle should be that one has to be fed to the monster, otherwise the managers wouldn't have said "so n' so doesn't count. He broke the rules, but we still have to do the raffle." Nobody would've been hoping the debt was paid by the guy locked out if the raffle was some kind of strange cannibalistic ritual.
At some point these rules have to be reported for corporate malpractice.
HA!!! You saw what we did in the middle east for oil? Yeah, if that keeps the oil flowing good luck stopping it.
Yeah, but you know... H.R. is who you go to first and they're supposed to be on your side but uhhhh... everyone knows they scratch the company's back. 🤷
OSHA is your next step but all they do is hand out hundred thousand dollar fines that's literally chump change for these kinds of companies.
eeeeeeeEEEEEEEeeehhh... it's a lose-lose if you ask me. Take your cardboard pizza party and company logo embossed keychain and be happy you didn't draw the short straw and have to participate in The Carousel.
usually in these kinds of scenarios, it turns out that either
1. the corpos are well aware but think it's cheaper to just hide it away and just make everyone follow these rules. not sure how anyone not sued
them yet
2. the corpos are aware, have tried different ways, even contacted the govt or some form of outside help, and found out that following these rules is the only feasible thing to do without ruining everything. at least here, they tried.
3. the corpos are purposefully ignoring the issue, thinking of it as the workers being delusional. usually they have enough wealth to simply pay whatever lawsuits is thrown their way and are content with the fact that the job will always attract desperate people who are willing to ignore such dangerous if it means getting paid, making the issue of findng another warm body to do the job solve itself

"I work at a strange rules factory, and they gave me a strange list of rules..."
Rule one always make rule on something the main character doubts
There is actually a story that's a parody of the rules that I really liked. Some dude gets a letter by the devil telling him to list some rules. Dude does so, then gets a job offer as a night watchman for a place with the rules he wrote.
How is that not top comment😭
You broke the first rule of rule club, YOU KNOW YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO TALK ABOUT RULE CLUB
Rule number 2: never rule out the rules that don't rule enough.
I absolutely love the subtle nod to horror with characters named “Clive” and “Barker”.
I would love to see a story where the MC works for a Government agency who's job it is to investigate the companies who have these strange rules.
Bizarre rules plus a group torture ritual to placate a world ending monster? Sounds like an SCP operation. Thanks for the upload
Is that what it was at the end? I couldn't figure out what they were doing.
It wasn't clear, but they were finishing him off somehow. At least, That's what my imagination told me.@@givhony4910
@@givhony4910I think he's reaching. It was definitely not fleshed out what was happening and why.
@@georgerafa5041 Darn! I just wanted some closer. 😪
@@georgerafa5041 It was definitely fleshed out. Everything you needed was in the story.
Some rich fucks made a deal with a monster, demon, whatever you want to call it, to keep the oil flowing, to keep them rich. In return, they have to paint symbols with the ick and oil from a sacrifice, and after that, rip apart and eat the sacrifice.
I spent a few weeks on an oil rig 30 years ago doing non destructive testing on pipes. It's a loud hostile place, but the pay is good. The first few days are sensory overload, but it normalizes rather quickly. By the time I was leaving, I really enjoyed it. It took a while to get used to being on land again once I went home.
My daddy was a welder on an oil rig in the north sea. Only once. Even though he worked all over the world, he only did the rig once. Can't say i blame him. I wouldn't have gone even once!
yeah ive heard how the north sea is absolutely dangerous. shows how money is the biggest incentive if humans are willing to set up an oil rig in one of the most dangerous areas of water
Being on a oil rig in Alaska can be just as dangerous.
Those are some rough waters.
I want a lighthouse story about a listener who doesn't follow the rules to the videos hes listening to & only realizes his own reality has melded into the videos hes listening to when its a little too late. Lighthouse inception if you will
Were you planning on writing that? It'd be cool.
Yhat would be a good one😊
Bacon is not red meat.
Update: I researched it, and it turns out bacon is classified as red meat, because it contains more myoglobin than fish or chicken. Guess I put my foot in my mouth on that one….
No mammals, nor Muscovy ducks
I stopped in the midden of the story to look for this comment. I've never heard of bacon being red meat. I thought pork was known as "the other white meat". I guess they could have given them turkey bacon then for that 1 day.
Pig and cow meat is red meat lol
It’s pork ? Anything that’s not a fish or poultry is red meat
@@Its_slimbabyy I guess that ad campaign wasn't accurate then. Look up "pork the other white meat". It was an advertising campaign in the 80s/90s. Growing up back then and not having any internet to learn otherwise it made me think that pork was white meat.
IT'S LIGHTHOUSE TIME!
(grab your blanky!)
We would soo get along!!😂
Got my blankie!
Yippee can we have hot chocy?
Hmmm so here’s my interpretation, whatever is down there, probably a kraken or something akin to it is influencing the rig in a lovecraftian sense
Because of the oil rig is connected to it the rig has become a part of it, I won’t say the rig is alive but whatever eldritch creature elder god thing is down there, it’s almost like the rig is a part of it
Remember Jean said to wear the pin to show your a part of it, almost like you could say the pin makes you a white blood cell in a sense
The red door my guess is that it leads to the “heart” of the rig? So that’s why oil seeped out of it for days after it had been opened like a cut or something?
The drilling platform is maybe it’s voice? Why would it want to hear other voices when it’s the only one that should be speaking?
Don’t look East because that is where it’s gazing maybe?
Wednesday is when it feeds?
The 7th to me is what ties it together because it’s got such a powerful hold and influence over the crew by this point they commit the sacrifice with their many hands, almost like a krakens many tentacles reaching out for its prey…
Just my interpretation though I enjoyed this story and maybe sully should see about getting a job at a grocery store or I bet the zoo down the street from barnabys is hiring, maybe a lonely old radio station needs a new DJ?
Interesting theories. I'd prefer working as a meteorologist on an island inhabited by monkeys.
At this point rather take a lonely broadcasting station or the gas station on the edge of town
Good interpretation
Kraken is a producing heavy oil field located in shallow water in the UK and is operated by EnQuest Heather. According to GlobalData, who tracks more than 34,000 active and developing oil and gas fields worldwide, the field is located in block 9/2b ALL, with water depth of 408 feet.
We go wherever the kraken does
I do love the voices used to tell the story. Keep up the amazing work.
Lovin those voices. Peerrrffecctttt.
No! No stopping THERE! PLEASE tell me there are more in this setting!
It's better to end there, Lovecraft horror becomes dull when it's too explained
@@duckmeat4674True but to compare this with Lovecraft is a stretch...
@@melfreemans referring to the genre, not the author himself
I found this to be a disappointing stopping point.
@@deportsuperman Agreed! Dealing with a mysterious unknown entity is great, but they led up to an event and then dropped the ball. Like ending a movie right before the climax.
Best voice on the internet!
Definitely. Was better, before he started appearing on screen, but....still good! Not that I hate looking at him, I just think the narration has changed. More pauses or something
I actually worked offshore on oil rigs and pipe bargea in my early twenties. It is true that the sea can play trick with your mind and being out there with nothing but deep blue acean around you can get unnerving for some.
New guy: _almost dies a bunch_
Mentor: yeah, thats one of the rules. Dont do that.
Hey, this story is refreshing in the way the rules are released gradually over time, so to speak.
It's suddenly clear at the end why the last rule is a secret. That's some fine print there!
@@pakde8002 it is not clear at all, when he came to the rig he already signed the contract with penalties if he leaves. Also when he said the last rule he didn't disclose anything, he just said everyone has to join the raffle, you can tell that before contract is even signed, it changes nothing since it is not clear in the slightest what it means. Whole story was cringe, horror stories on youtube went same route as horror movies into complete joke territory.
My sense of humour is truly broken if I thought "Who's Joe? JOE MAMA" at "You don't want to end up like Joe"
I saw “strange rules” & almost broke my thumbs pressing play 🤣! I love your stories & appreciate the time & effort you put into making them, thank you! 🙂
"That door, you never go open it no matter what you hear."
Welp guess we know what he's opening.
Edit: Just finished. They never opened the door. Nice.
Part 511 of thanking the lighthouse horror for the amazing narrations
If the ship's rocking, don't come knocking. No one's going to let you in. RIP Barker
I work at a job with a strange set of rules... Lots of rules about showing up on time and when I can leave and when I can go eat lunch. It is a nightmare remembering and following them.
You'll be fine, it's okay to let them slip from time to time…
Sounds like 90 plus percent of those.
“Rule one, don’t mess with the super mutant in power armor that can rip a deathclaw in half”
I love how how his blue collar oil rig worker accent is just a Boston accent
In the Gulf it would be Cajun, Texan, or Mexican dialect 90% of the time.
I’m so glad that you have kept on doing your personal presentation on the stories you narrate! I always watch you on my iPad so I can see YOU telling ME a story
It’s great Stephen! & it makes the whole thing a real time out stress reliever & just a kind of special treat.😎🌈✌️
As a RL frac worker for 15 years I can say the worst part about working an ocean rig or land well is the waiting... There is so many times you just sit hour after hour. And you have to stay at your spot even if doing nothing for 10 hours. It seriously drives you crazy. Its much worse than the physical work
why do you have to wait and do nothing for hours on end?
Man,this dude has had one heck of a life full of strange lists of rules.... gas stations, fire towers, grocery stores and now oil rigs. Good grief!
You put that little bit of extra effort in to this story which sets you apart from other channels. A handful of voice effects and sound effects brought it to life. First video I have watched, now I will binge your channel.
Scariest part of all this... is that I can actually see this being a reality.
that’s one thing i noticed is in all of these stories the main character starts to question the rules a little too much or gets too comfortable i assume it’s done on purpose to teach us a simple warning of don’t question it just follow the rules and collect your pay when you are done which if i ever had a job with strange rules if it was safe to i would make a list of the rules keep it on me at all times and follow them without question as long as i made the money they were promising me there would be no issues
I kind of want to know what they did at the end... like did they rip him apart? eat him? did I miss something .__.
Been wondering the same thing. Here I am in comments trying to figure it out and still nothing 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
@@stephaniereynolds361 I am kind of assuming by the 'hands on him' thing that they were like... ripping him apart? but the whole 'screams for hours' thing makes me thing it was idk maybe like eating him slowly?
That’s what I was thinking but how do u rip someone apart w just ur hands … even w multiple ppl trying? Not only that but what was the point of making him drink the oil and what part did it play, if any? And how was he screaming for hours? Shouldn’t he have eventually passed out from the pain and died? Idk … it’s silly all the time I put into figuring these things out when it’s fake anyway and could never be real. But I try making it make sense and needing all the details 😂😂😂
I avoided ocean creepypastas for years! Never digged'em. But I gave this one a chance and... I was blown away!!!
Yes
Wait why is gene talking below the deck when they weren’t allowed to make any noise down there
Good point
Wait is there going to be another continuation!!??? I loved the story but I really want a proper ending. Did they sacrifice him, start eating parts of him, or rip him apart? Is he going to go back? So many left over questions 😅
I actually worked on Oil Rigs in the Gulf of Mexico as a service technician. I’d take boats offshore or helicopters
That was a time of adventure and a lot of stress 😂and a lot of times: extreme boredom !
C’mon! Too ambiguous! What did they do to Clive? Tear him apart? What was “It”? Need more information. These stories are leaving me hanging too much…
He got took away by the sea monster the kraken !!!
Clive got offer to the kraken he lost his life ....to say the company murdered him or was it on his contract if he get chosen by raffle
why do they always gotta end right at the good part
these stories are interesting in that the main source of horror is not the monsters or unexplainable, but the cruel and heartless behavior dictated by rules from people or things beyond comprehension. The forced inhumanity for sake of maintaining profit margins. Absolutely a horror story birthed from the mind of a person bathed in neoliberal capitalism.
After listening to this story, I would never even think about working on an oil rig!
You should be a little suspicious when a contract says there is a bonus "if" you finish the contract and not "when".
We do this -for oil- to stop the monsters
Oof. That last part was nauseating. A tension headache did start up at the same time, so it was probably just that. It's the thought on thick fluid that smells like rotten eggs being poured down your throat. Nasty.
I'd be freaked out too if I saw a sunset in the east.
The sun sets in the west.
Thanks a lot, now I've got to go back and listen again if the warning was don't watch the sunset in the east or don't look east at sunset. 😂
Edit: okay so he looked east after sunset. It does sound like Gene says "at the sunset" but it's "afta sunset" 9:22
There’s a moment you say “relax, son” and my Alexa reacted and replied. I was in the bed preparing to sleep and I almost had a heart attack, I thought there was someone talking to me from the corner of my room lol
Thank you, yt started to get boring again!
"This oil rig... has a dark secret..."
Do you mean the oil?
I love how you actually show yourself telling the story at the start. Makes it that much better.
Why did they all touch him at the end? Hopefully the amazing lighthouse horror team can make more of these rules stories 🤞
The ending is confusing
The joy of "strange rules." Thank you, thank you.
I sure wasn't ready for that ending! 😳🦑🤯⚘️🙋♀️
Was already listening to one of your videos now to fall asleep, thank you, i love your channel so much, i would love love love to hear more Forest and Firetower stories ❤
Rules to surviving Walmart
1. If a manager says something to you whispering you can see me can save your life
2. If the coke man shows up before 3am throw bread at him
3. If a man named Matt claiming to be the store manager walks toward yell not today Satan he'll leave you alone
4. Never fall asleep before 2 am you'll wake up in a alternative universe
5. Crack heads are the guardians against evil
Matt 😂
Crazy
Wouldn't be surprised based on my brother's 3-4 years working there
Stories on oil rigs are always so cool
I'm new here.. but.. I'm a sucker when it comes to a good narration and a good horror stories.. This one of em'.. my first Vid here was the 3 hour long story but it seems like it's just a 10 minute story telling.. I'm super hooked.. Thank you ... Please keep up the good work..
I love me some lighthouse horror stories
babe wake up new light house horror, i think this is that story for another time he was talkin ab
Yay! A new story time!
This needs to be a movie... great narration, the entire story was absorbing...
I myself worked on a rig and it was very tough . After your shift you got 12 hours off but goodness it went by so fast
Having worked offshore, production platforms and drill ships, I loved this. They author did some good research. Is the Kraken a platform or MODU?
Thanks for the amazing story! Really glad I didn't hear this one 20 years ago when my husband was working out there! Much love from SW Louisiana ❤!
As an automotive exhaust welder, I appreciate horror stories told from this perspective!
Love the strange rules stories. This was definitely a strange but good story, thanks for sharing. 💕💕
Just keep on uploading Strange rules story Im in love with it that too with your narration. Amazing vid as always
Gotta love a new lighthouse upload :)
1341 why showing a steel mill when doing a story about an oil rig lol?
I don't understand what happened in the end. Dod the people kill clive Or some monster did.
Good gracious, that was excellent Light. Thank you so much and you have a great weekend and everyone else as well.
I swear if it wasn't for these videos. My hour-long drive homes will be awful every time I see a new video post. It's unlike yay, I get to listen to something other then the radio.
Very well written and narrated.
I knew what was coming pretty early on but I didn't care, this was a great ride!
One of these needs to become a series. Tales from the Kraken
Thank you so much for continuing to put out such amazing content. I found your channel months ago and was hooked. I went back and watched every video on your channel. You are an amazing narrator and truly bring each story to life. I love the new Lighthouse Horror universe you are building and look forward to every new entry. Thank you for sharing your engaging and masterful storytelling with all of us. Looking forward to all the stories to come.
Just sometimes. Can't these stories end with someone rushing in and killing all the supernatural?
I love all his rules stories
So glad i came across your channel! The story was gripping with the help of great narration !!! Look forward to upcoming content !🎉🙌
Really like the ending- thought it was going in a more cliche direction but was pleasantly surprised
Gotta unlock that red crate and get ready for the heavy scientists
I miss grocery store horror stories….maybe a few thrift store ones? Some libraries maybe….another hospital? like that’s where I spend the majority of my life now in these four spaces and it’s super comfy.
The hospital ward for supernatural beings when the contagion of werewolf worms broke out was really good. Unfortunately I don't know how it ends even though I've started the video several times because I always fall asleep.😂
Good one love the audio quality. Fan for years
There's something fascinating about a crew of the damned sacrificing one of their own top an eldritch entity.
I love ending my day and awaiting my sandman reservation to your content. I've been thinking about becoming a narrator myself. Keep producing paramount work!
Can this dude not hold a job or did he try to unionize and get fired so picked up another strange rules job?
Yes 🎉
Excellent story, time absolutely flew while walking on the treadmill.
I swear to God, what the hell is up with the blue button-up? Love your videos!
Oh man I loved this one! The rules were practical and not obscure, the creature never showed its hand, and the real monsters are the people after all. Excellent work Lighthouse Team!
This was cool. My grandfather ran the chevron / transocean sedco rigs off of Angola. He had the first golf course built in Angola per the same.
this would make an incredible horror movie bc of how vague it is yknow
No amount of money in the world would make me renew that contract
More than that, after it, tell everyone who will listen about the murder cult. Plenty of podcasts will love to hear you out.
Yay! New light house video!! Let’s get it! Will someone be added to the lighthouse tonight? Let’s see
These list of rules stories, have become my favourite thing. And will go down my life as one of those things I was obsessed with.
I wonder if the manager's names get put in this "raffle".
I oil well hope so
Now THIS is a Fuggin oil rig story jack. LOVED it man keep these sea monster/ocean anomaly edits coming brother!!!
Good God I would quit the first day.
The rules seem to be easy enough to follow yet the fact that these rules have to exist in the first place is a f*cking problem
Edit: Poverty is better than this sh*t
How the heck did Barker do 10 of these?
Remember the fine print
The money was good and he thought he was invincible
Clive screamed for hours... because it was Taco Tuesday and he was so very excited! The end.
The part where he says “what is it”, all I can hear is Mike Patton singing it. lol
