Otis is like the dad I never had to tell me stories before going to sleep
You read my mind! Exactly what I was thinking. :)
IKR!!
That's wholesome
Me too
grow up you emo shit
Thank you Mr.Jiry. you remind me so much of my dad. He passed away 5 years ago..but when I listen to you..I can hear my dad's voice in my ear.
Reminds me of Norm McDonald
Oh wow hes been gone almost a decade. Never knew, love listening to his stories he tells tho for sure

Hey I want to post a story can u post a story of my child hood I remember I was almost killed I would love if u posted my story
Nice one
I LOVE YOUR VOICE. I go to sleep listening to you. . Then the next day I listen again. YES !!! You are the MASTER.
AGREED!!
Yep Norm McDonald is the best
Who else listened to this whole damn thing?
well some of us just don't have things to do you know or maybe we want to listen to a story on the road or walk
+Natalie Kirk And here's volume two! czcams.com/video/8wk8bPsg6X4/video.html
+Natalie Kirk I will. But probably not in one sitting. I only work 9-hour days. These long "Best of…" compilations are the best things ever. Especially if it's an Otis Jiry "Best of…!"
+Natalie Kirk i have man.... cleaned my whole house listening to it...
It made my night shift go by crazy quick. I need more
I fall asleep to your mellow tones and wake up to them as well when you do long videos like this one Otis. You're better than a sleeping pill any day. Thankyou. X
True that !
Listened to all of this while bed-ridden with the flu. Made going through the flu much easier. Gotta love Otis' voice.
1nHarmsWay ggggy J U.K. jnii I û it u 😭 I
You mean....Norm McDonald?
9 hours of Otis Jiry? You would think that would be enough but...there can never be enough Otis Jiry!

Otis.. your narratives are as great and terrible as the ghost stories of my father and Grandpa. The timber of your voice is the same. With out the Scottish accent.
Otis is by far my favorite narrator. His voice is so calming and my mind never strays while listening to his stories. I love this channel and the stories you guys provide :)
AND HERE'S VOLUME TWO!
czcams.com/video/8wk8bPsg6X4/video.html
perfect to fall asleep too (strangely enough) cheers man
Otis you're my favorite narrator. Thanks for your great works.
The beauty of the stories fascinated my writer's mind, the sound of his voice made the stories feel complete, the way the words were used to explain some of the smallest details, opened my mind to possibles, that still hold themselves unknown.
Otis, I mean this in the best way, but you sound like a Grandfather who is amazing at telling stories.
So much expression and attention to detail in your reading, combine that with your voice/accent and you rock the horror reading genre.
Turning 60 might have something to do with the 'grandfather' sound I suspect :)
Well happy birthday is that happened recently! But still, you have a very enjoyable story-telling voice and you really sell the scene and put your listeners in the setting so well. Love it and definitely hope to see/listen to a lot more of your videos for a long time to come. :)
Otis Jiry please never stop reading. You're amazingly talented. Thank you for your nostalgia. Any adult can feel like a kid again!
Man... "Esteban" was heart-breaking.
I know,in my mind Esteban was a pitiful little guy,but he had a lion protecting him
Yes heartrenching but I love the question angel.
These are all so fantastic, and Otis is the man. I especially love Dhost.
Dhost was so heartbreaking..
I didn't get that one..
9 hours of Otis’ voice muttering tales of terror into my ears? Yes please!
I love this voice telling the story, it makes me feel like I am around a comp fire hearing scary stories. This is one of the best collections of stories in You Tube!
This guy is a great narrater for these stories I listen to these at work an it passes the time by so fast nxt is volume 2 :)
narrator you illiterate idiot. What the fuck do you think the red underlining is for you idiot
lazyis hardwork lol bored huh not sure why you didn’t correct me 4 YEARS AGO when I made this comment but good for you bud😂😂
Zo cause some people are just fuckheads....yet there’s a lack of teachers in this country when so many people are so eager to give English lessons
Dude has a great voice to go to sleep by. I have a hard time sleeping. I use Otis. I like the stories. I listen to 3_ or 4 til I'm asleep. Mean that in a positive way.
One story he was old, another he is young, it doesn't matter his voice is beautiful for this!!!! VOL 3?
Love these readings!
During Cool Air, at 50:12, did I hear you softly chuckle at yourself for stumbling that Spanish accent? It's good to know that the best of narrators even stumble on a reading, even if you were faking an accent over an awkwardly worded sentence!
You should hear version one of the narrations. LOL. Lots of stumbles.
Proud that this form of storytelling is being kept alive, with the help of so many exemplary voice actors and actresses!
Some of my happiest times was catching lightning bugs and frogs and running shirtless till night in a neighborhood where families looked after others children. Eastern north Carolina was\is still my home but no more do I know neighbours. Kinda sad really and kids don't play much outside. God bless all
That SK quote in Frost in one of my favorites! Great job on the readings!
My fave SK quote is "she knew if you started taking shit, the world had a way of making it your steady diet". Bazaar of bad dreams vol 1 "mile 81"
But otis is hands down the best
Best CZcams channel ever!!
Gah!! You have the perfect voice to call asleep to. I love it.
auto incorrect or grammar fail?
Don't worry Angie. Either way it doesn't make you the smartest person in the room. Btw is auto "incorrect" a thing? Like when your phone takes on human traits and tries to make an ass out of you? It totally works
Also at least Mary capitalized the start of each sentence. You couldn't even use a comma between incorrect and or, followed by the absence of comma between or and grammar. I can't believe you'd bang on an obvious misspell, while simultaneously calling spelling grammar. All the while using worse grammar (to the power of ten) just to troll some lady trying to pay Otis a compliment. Stay in your lane Ange. The adults are speaking around you...
she was probably just curious lol
Right?
Almost 9 and a half hours? Challenge accepted.
There... is a volume 2. Amazing.
Hi Otis, i just want to say i love your narrations, you have the perfect storytelling voice to get lost in.
Otis u the man bro
Cursedjedi fuck you
Because he is Norm McDonald undercover
OMGsh! I'm so excited! ! thank you! !
Master Story Teller, yes indeed Mr. Jiry. You are just wonderful and amazing
Thank you! I really enjoyed most of them, very engaging. I do a lot of hand sewing, and love to listen to stories and podcasts while I work. This one got me most of the way through a new dress.
One of the best story telling voices I've heard. :)
We agree! Check out his channel, too: czcams.com/users/otisjirycreepypasta
18+ hours of Otis? Are you freaking serious?! It's not my birthday yet!
18 hours? Where the fuck did you get 18 hours from you fucking blockage. It's roughly 9 1/2 hours you seepage. You're an adult incontinence pad
@@lazyishardwork You need help. Please see a professional.
He’s a fucking douchebag who loves being a dick to people apparently....he’s giving out free math and English lessons to everyone who commented on this video apparently...very charitable guy
I just love this narrator's voice. It's like listening to an uncle that sits on his porch in a creaky rocking chair telling stories. I could listen to him all day! It reminds me of that commercial "With a name like Smuckers, it has to be good."
No it’s like watching an old SNL episode when Norm McDonald was on!
Finally listened to Psychosis (as I listen to audiobooks and creepy pastas to help me fall asleep) and it was great! Really enjoyed it! Hard to pick a favourite so far!
I've been listening to lots of your old stories and even though I know I pick at things sometime you do such a great job of narrating and I just wanted to thank you for all the effort you put into these stories.
And, wow! S.C. Young moved me to tears with Esteban. Just...WOW!
otis jiry is my new favorite..
I need a dictionary if I’m gonna listen to cool air again....holy hell that was rough
I found my favorite channel....
Thank you for this seemingly endless stories, I have been looking for just this, great stories and wonderful read :)
love this and so glad I found it looking up "the telltale heart' which brought me to this site. LOVE SCARY STORIES, love being read to and at least this way there's a chance of getting things done around my apt today without a t.v. screen to reel me in. But I'm finding this as equally distracting. Reminding me of my mom and dad telling us about life before television and their families huddling around the little radio in the living room...being told to turn off 'the idiot box' as they sold me on the joy of reading with a promise for more terror at the hands of my own imagination rather than entrusting someone else's. They were right as usual.
Yes! I love when I find Otis Jiry I haven't heard yet. Love his story telling.
Otis is such a great narrator!
Otis, you have one of the most soothing, fall asleep to, voice. Keep up the awesome story telling. 👍👍
Still catching up with all of Otis’s narrations and thrilled I came across this as I’m still recovering from a hellacious surgery in mid December (yes , STILL RECOVERING) ugghhhhhh!
But these and Otis makes it a little easier lying in bed ! And in another comment I see there’s a second to this one ! Another long long video to help me cope !! Thanks CTFDN ANd
My man Otis !!! And happy freaking New Year y’all !! 🌹😊♥️
I’ve heard most of these but my fav is Dhost! It is absolutely adorable 🥰 and all are well worth listening to again and get super excited when I hear one two or three I haven’t heard before!! A Dhost !! I’m gonna be a Dhost !!! Boooooooo ! Too cute that Lil Corey 🤗
On Fallout 4 there is a mod that you can get that lets you listen to these stories in real time
We know. :)
Chilling Tales for Dark Nights I have it to
I like Abigail’s Run it’s one of my favorite Pastas. Hearing Otis narrate it was awesome
Otis "Freeman" Jiry, You're Voice has a way of turning a shitty day @ Work, into the most Relaxing evenings as i lay down with your Voice spitting out story after story with no effort at all as it sends me into a Lovely Dreamy Sleep, Thanks Otis u da VOICE ON YT😊😴👍💞
This is great
The Captain telling the passengers they mught as well give up, eat each other, I don't care, cracked me up.
Great, great compilation! As usual, Jiry makes my day😎👏👏👏
Otis jiry ur honestly the best I love the way you tell the stories it’s simple put full with details I love u man I will support you till the end 😆 keep doing wat u doing your inspiring me to tell stories too I wish u was like my uncle 😫
Otis is the Grandpa I always wanted. Someone to sit by on dark rainy nights and tell me stories. The Granpa I never knew...
Poopsie Pop.. PLEASE??? MR. OTIS JIRY IS THE MASTER STORYTELLER!! HE IS THE BEST OF THE BEST. NO QUESTION!! AMAZINGLY AWESOME!!! THANK YOU MR. OTIS JIRY.
I truly appreciate and enjoy this channel... Much thanks... The Esteban story brought tears to my eyes... I enjoy all the stories but that was very heartbreaking and heartwarming... Love your narration....
Esteban is one of the best i've ever heard!! Love me some Otis!!!
I totally agree! It was such a great yet sad story
wtf are you talking about? "Love me some," you speak as if you can't write. Fucking christ on a stick, you're obviously an ill bred seppo shit. Son't dare call what you speak English. You;re speaking some kind of pidgin dialect only distinguishable by a colonial master.
That Frost story, as soon as it started I was thinking "Ohh, somebody's just seen Fight Club"
First rule of fight club is you don’t talk about fight club
Second rule of Fight Club is you do not talk about Fight Club
the best naratter on this channel
+The little view Master Thanks for listening!
No need to thank me I thank you
Yay! I got to be #1000 to like this video! ... Yeah im a dork. Lol
Night Time Hero is so sad.
BoulderGaming my daughter is of close age. The story honestly teared me up.
Excellent listening 🎶
Bro madness above the clouds has to be the most nerve pounding on this list
I agree with alot of the comments below. U do have a story telling sleepy voice. Ur voice/story telling sooths me to sleep. Half of the time i dont even remember falling asleep. Also u r like a white Morgan Freeman
Anyone else have people in their lives who just don't understand how we can listen to these. Especially to 💤😴 sleep??
no end troll number 10 in the door
i fucking love this guy! awesome narrator love it!
Really liked "Esteban". I used to be a child psychologist and an attorney who represented children (often against "child protection" people) and I can related to that story. Adults can be so evil. Of course, I never went so far as the teacher, but the truth is that sometimes I wished I could have done the same thing. Real life can be worse than a horror story.
This is perfect to go to sleep to. :)
Otis jiry your the best horror story teller and I love listening to you thanks any new ones coming soon I would like that well your number one fan ANTHONY bull DILLON from Dublin Ireland thanks Otis.
We have a brand new Otis Jiry podcast in the works, friend. Stay tuned!
Otis bby
well, I suppose I'm going to have to get comfortable for a while..
I love your voice Otis jiry
I love the ones that have a couple hours worth of stories. Cuz like i said i go to sleep listening to these stroies. All rhough sometimes i will have a little nightmare or 2 do to listening but i am 34 so i am a big girl i can handle it. Sometimes i will dream the story thats being told and ill hear it sometimes while sleeping. Like the scary stories about the deep woods. Ill start dreming i am lost in the woods etc etc.
When Otis jiry gets a good story he makes it sound so good
Damn that Dhost story made me think about my daughter and how will she feel when I pass on...
Aww Dhost made me sad and Esteban pulled at my heart strings and (thankfully) had a happy ending! I was expecting the latter story to go in very different direction; like Esteban was lying and was going to make out the music teacher assaulted him (only because another teacher had got in trouble for abusing him), or that Esteban was a ghost or demon haha
I do love the creepy stories (I've read a couple Stephen King short story collections). I recently got into audiobooks to help me sleep, and I came across Children of the Corn, and I laughed at a few parts. Don't know if it was the way it was narrated or the content. But 1408 was pretty scary read by Stephen King himself. Recently I've got into creepy pastas so this is a treat!
Dghost wasn't scary it was just sad, now I'm sad... i love you guys though thanks for all your hard work!
This is my umpteenth time to listen to my favorite Narrator Otis Jiry 👌👍🕷🕷🕷🕷🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
I'm pretty sure that Lovecraft story was adapted as an episode of one of the horror anthology shows....Night Gallery maybe?
What was everybody's favourite story? I'm just finishing up Frost right on but my favourite so far is The Deer God.
+K. Colin's The Deer Gods is an excellent story, yes. Thanks, Andrew Harmon, for writing it!
Deer God was good.
Deer Gods is in my top ten thanks a lot man
Esteban
I've heard Night Time Hero more than five times already but I still tear up when I listen to it.
>Abigail's Run
>Abigail Hobbs
When was that story written? Abigail Hobbs is the name of a recurring character from the Hannibal TV series.
Mr. Jury. I am wondering if there's a minimum that must be donated in order to gain access to the extra stories. I donated last month but haven't received a link or anything so am thinking I must not have given enough. Thank you 😊
I'm not sure what you're referring to. Patreon?
Just found you Otis. I have many nights of. Creepy.
stories thanks.
That last story was so sad.. Radio Silence was good too.
Great vid- just wish we could do something with all the ads- 😫
Dhost just broke my heart into pieces…I had a precious lil girl who cried for her daddy all the time. When I left his abusive controlling ways, he wanted to punish & hurt me, so he abandoned her.
When finally she had the opportunity to get to know him, when she was 18…he passed away.
I will never heal over the loss she still suffers from.
Do not be so selfish that you hurt innocent hearts. Because they will be hurt forever.
And I promise you, it will be an even greater loss to you. A child needs both parents. So grow up. Or keep your “organs” to yourself.
Edit
I’d also love to female dog slap Anna
I'm sorry to hear that but even single Mum's can do a great job raising their children, as you no doubt have.
Women continue to amaze me; not only do they create life, but work, look after their children, spend most of their day running around after them... cooking, cleaning, doing laundry, entertaining guests, and yet still make time to do things for others, such as family and friends! Obviously there are great single Dad's out there too, but it never ceases to amaze me what women are capable of, even if left on their own!
P.S. Dhost really pulled at my heartstrings too... rather than being a horror or creepypasta, I found it sad.
P.P.S. Originally I was going to include a couple paragraphs about my own traumatic early childhood, a few toxic relationships (including abuse) and my own issues, but I felt that it subtracted from the message I wanted to get across - that Mum's are like Super Heroes! But I'd like you to know that I feel for you, and although our experiences wouldn't be exactly the same, I've dealt them all the same. Except for having a child!
If I didnt know this was Otis, I'd swear this was Ray Bradbury.
Pair this with a campfire/thunderstorm ambiance video and you're in business.
Listening to 'Home'; after many nights of never making it that far as I fall asleep (it's helping my insomnia; as I wake up several times a night, I can just keep listening before drifting off again and again!)...
When I heard the part about the camp caretaker drugging the kids with sleeping pills I had to go back and listen to it again because I thought I'd misheard it haha how crazy!
SPOILER:
Now I know why he drugged them... 😳
This really took a turn I wasn't expecting! The caretaker seemed like a really kind, caring guy that really felt for the orphaned children. Boy, was I misguided. Maybe I just wanted to believe it, after him reassuring Conner and giving him a pat on the head and a wink. Or waxing on about how the orphans really appreciated nature, unlike the spoilt rich kids. But now I realize the 'winners' are really losers... or at least one of them was. Creepy. All for money, even though they get sponsored by rich clientele to house their kids all Summer, while the poor orphans are the ones they murder because no one will look for them.
Reminds me of the sad reality of a lot of true crime I've read or watched where the lower class or outliers of society are taken advantage of and murdered, how the police claim the children are just runaways, or the prostitutes have moved on to a different pimp or state. It's how so many murderers have become prolific serial killers. Like the case of the Yorkshire Ripper. The police completely disregarded the victims that were sex workers, and failed to recognize a pattern as he had also attacked women who weren't prostitutes (a survivor's witness statement that the perpetrator had a Yorkshire accent was completely disregarded, which later hampered the investigation), one of many things the police would overlook.
Jesus. Night Time Hero made me cry.
Poor Otis stories all gone
Left us here to sing his song
Pretty little fire, almost out and done
Poor Otis stories all gone
