"The Ocean Ogre" by American author Dana Carroll, first appeared in Weird Tales Magazine in July 1937. The story, told through a series of journal entries, tells of a ship stranded at sea, and of the stranger who came to its aid.
"The Voice in the Night" by William Hope Hodgson, tells of a schooner at sea, approached in the middle of the night by a small rowboat. The passenger aboard the boat, who refuses to bring his boat close alongside and requests that the sailors on the schooner put away their lanterns, tells a disturbing tale.
"The Temple" is a short story written by H. P. Lovecraft in 1920, and first published in the pulp magazine Weird Tales #24 in September 1925. The story is narrated as a "found manuscript" penned by Karl Heinrich, Graf von Altberg-Ehrenstein, a lieutenant-commander in the Imperial German Navy during the days of World War I. Altberg begins by declaring that he has decided to document the events leading up to his untimely end in order to "set certain facts" before the public, aware that he will not survive to do so himself.
"The Uncharted Isle" by Clark Ashton Smith, first appeared in the November 1930 issue of Weird Tales Magazine. The tale tells of a sailor lost at sea, who happens upon an island previously unknown to man.
"Three Skeleton Key" by French author, George G. Toudouze, tells of a lighthouse keeper's terrifying ordeal whilst stationed at a remote light on the infamous rock, Three Skeleton Key.

Another accomplished narrator. How fortunate for people who find reading difficult for not only is there the story but all the wonderful expression. Thanks all.
Many thanks!

I notice a lot of people in the comments particularly enjoyed story no 2, William Hope Hodgson's, A Voice In The Night. Therefore I wanted to reccomend that people read William Hope Hodgson's novel, The Boats of the Glen Carrig , the book that originally features the island of the grey fungus.
It's my favourite lost at Sea horror adventure tale. The strange island lands and weird Sargasso seas the survivors in the boats of the Glen Carrig encounter are populated with monstrous dangers . It's a truly fantastic story and in Chapter 2 they come across " The land of Loneliness "which is a haunted low flat muddy island overgrown with a cabbage like shrubbery & occasional strange short trees of a fungal growth.
It's a must read and I would love to hear Ian read it There is only a Libravox version on CZcams at the moment but it's not badly done if anyone is interested.
Thanks! I will definitely check it out. I was a fan of Lovecraft with Dunwich Horror, etc., but The Castle has evaded me over the years. What a golden opportunity this has been!
I would also recommend the William Hope Hodgson short story collection 'Horrors From Haunted Seas' there are some classic stories in that collection - all on the same theme...
So it's in the public domain since Libravox has it right
Scary stories that happen while at sea are the creepiest to me. Love them stories.
Everybody gangsta till the hardtac and rum runs out...
Dats a dope you tube name Fidel Cashflow 🤘
Particularly the loss of the rum, I expect...
Yohoho and a bottle of rum
😂😂
Fun fact. Hard tac was often literally rock hard and was held in the armpit to make it malleable. More often than not it contained worms.

0:25:22 - THE VOICE IN THE NIGHT (William Hope Hodgson)
This short story was adapted by Toho Studios as the screenplay for the movie "Matango" 1963 Released in the USA as "Attack of the Mushroom People", One of Toho Studio's creepiest Non-Kaiju movies. If you haven't seen it, i highly recommend it.
"Ooohh i Will get gloriously drunk..." Voice acting history made right there everyone take note.
The U-29 was captained by Kapitanleutnant Otto Weddigen, famous for sinking 3 British heavy cruisers in one battle in the Broad Fourteens in late 1914 aboard the U-9. The U-29 was sunk the following year.
The Narrator is Truly Outstanding. Thank you For Choosing This As Your Profession. 🤠🖖
OMG all caps for each first letter 😂
You were not wrong
@@TheTalemaster Chat rooms don’t adhere to the accepted rules of grammar. For instance, the use of OMG and similar abbreviations would not be OK. LOL
He is wonderful 😊
I agree
I remember reading The Voice in the Night as a kid, and being deliciously terrified by it. I love this episode!
Great idea, great stories. The open seas can be full of dread and despair.
This New Englander from the land of Lovecraft says thank you for this Nautical Compilation
Great Job Ian
Cheers
I've read everything H.P. Lovecraft wrote over, and over, and over again.
Shoutout to my people in Boston, Salem and Ipswich, I feel more alive there than anywhere else. A different vibe.
I love the references to Federal Hill, RISD, Brown, etc. as I had worked in Newport and lived in Warren.
I love the mystery of the unknown in sea stories. Where during war, even an enemy ship seems like paradise when things get bad.
Love, love, love this compilation because I LOVE nautical tales and HorrorBabble rocks, thanx, yet again!
Thanks as always, Elaine!
Me as well
I'm fascinated with sea stories also. I recently read "H.M.S. Ulysses," by Alastair MacLean - it's about a British convoy to Murmansk during WWII. It's not horror, except, well, it is. Very, very good, and evidently quite true-to-life. I can barely fathom the level of heroism and courage required for that sort of journey.
I know it's been mentioned already , but I too listen to this very talented man to go to sleep every night .
Thank god for readers such as yourself!
Oh I love nautical horror. Good stories are difficult to come by these days, but you pooled together some of the best. Having served in the US Navy I can tell you that the ocean is the most mysterious and haunting aspects of our planet.
Thanks for your service...💜
Yeah, thanks a lot for your service :)
@@rwhite3345 just who is it that is being served? The American people have no enemies despite everything that the ruling elite would have you believe, and no need for a six hundred ship navy. You should all think about just who is being served and what that service means and not just blindly accept your militrised society.
So many soulless creepy pastas out there that read more like action movies. Stories like these are a real breathe of fresh air.
@@joshb7300 "The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance..."
I wouldn't say militarised, more like thoroughly infested. MIlitry is just a side effect of the underlying issues.
Absolutely Wonderful as ever, Thank You! Precisely what's needed to soothe the troubled, sleepless mind. The log book dating in the first in the selection does not go unnoticed. You are a true blessing to us all.
Thanks, Barry!
Muchas gracias Senor HorroroBabbello!
I have to agree with Kelly E. that the narrator is so perfect for the horror genre and particularly classic horror tales. Overall I’d say this is one of the best narration channels on CZcams.
wow, nautical horror is my favorite type of horror. it's like you read my mind. I recently listened to everything that came up by typing 'nautical horror audiobook' into the searchbar, & it was all pretty "meh". thanks for this, seriously.
Started good but got boring after about 40 min. Sorry I wanted to like it but it confused me- did I miss some, idk, odd.
New sub, no hesitation. Just found this treasure of a channel!
Thank you!
Same 🤘
@@HorrorBabble Dates, I must know the years these took place. It’s obsessing me now! This was an awesome find, thank you very much!
I too listened to this whilst going to sleep.. And could not sleep until the track was over lol... Great stories, and an amazing narrator.. Very well done.
This was a perfect listen for while I was working. Passed the time. Thank You
Oh My Word, that last story 😱
Absolutely gripping.
Great narration, thanks so much for your work x
Absolutely amazing. Truly a wonderful performance. Thank you so very much for your work.
I downloaded this collection. So good.
Got as far as the end of the H P Lovecraft today.
Thanks so much for your work and entertainment.
Xxx 🙏🏻 ❤️ 🌍 🍀
I'm glad I found this channel :) great stories .... Thank you
The Temple is a favorite early Lovecraft story of mine, even though WW1 and WW2
U-Boats didn’t have portholes I’m willing to overlook that little fact, 🙂
Anyways you’ve done an outstanding read as always Ian. One question do you think you might could do a reading of Guy De Maupassant‘ tale The Horla at some point?
And LeFanu’s vampire story Carmilla maybe?
Thanks for the suggestions! Both of them are already on our list of texts, but if you have any other suggestions, feel free to send them via our website: www.horrorbabble.com/contact
Thanks again! Ian
You are one of the best narrators I have heard!
First time customer, love what you have on your shelf! Sub'ed and will be looking forward to more of your narrations!!
As I listen to this in the bunk of my fishing boat
is it a row boat like mine
@@kennethclaar922 no it's a 50-foot fish catching machine that makes a lot of money and catches a lot of fish
Good for you .I am glad you something you love
@@gigabilitydontask1549 You sound like a real dick
@@scatdog1 Says the guy calling random people a dick. Lol
I read "the Voice in the Night" many years ago. It was creepy and sad then. It still is today.
I fell asleep listening to this gentleman only to have a bad dream about myself catching a big fish that went towards my throat when I got it out of the water.........
LOL, i am glad you got out
@@mojomichele5492 yeah me too Michelle
Try vicious fish fear on four radio play
Excellent Narration. Subbed.
Much appreciated!
The oceans & its residents _can_ be beautiful, but its power & unknown depths is what truly terrifies everyone.
First time I have ever come across your channel and you now have a new Subscriber😘
This is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thank you so much!
Happy nightmares to everyone
I listen to horror CZcams stories nightly and have for a while. I tend not to care much for creepy pastas, though, leaning to "true" paranormal instead. No longer. I hit the like button as well as subscribed 5 minutes into the first story. I am so excited to dig into your library. It's always a thrill to stumble onto a new (to me) talent. Truly amazing work, sir, thank you for your stellar contribution.
Thanks for joining us, Justin! :)
Hey! He's mine! get out of here!
Interesting that the sub captain in the Lovecraft story was not afraid, despite what was happening.
In most Lovecraft stories characters usually take their life rather than face the horror. The Captain put on his diving gear and walked boldly into the Temple to face the unknown horror there.
Awesome! Love the at sea trope! Keep it up! Cheers mate!
That final story was completely unexpected. I dig it!
Each tale blends seamlessly into the one before (or after). Fine job. 👍
yeah the temple has always been a favorite short story of mine, it just feels so real....
I woke up from a deep sleep with earbuds in listening to this. Good lord this is creepy.
Awesome stories and narration!
"The Temple" is one of my favorite. I mever knew of the rest until I found this channel. They are all excellent. These are some great nautical stories!
Fabulous narration. Thank you
Thanks for listening!
The horror, the horror. At sea & anywhere else, HorrorBabble delivers the goods in high & appropriately creepy style with their flawless narrations for our edification & enjoyment. "The Voice in the Night", inspiration for a myriad of stories/films e.g. King's "Gray Matter", & the other tales here are all quite worthwhile. Excellent again, HB!
My life would be empty and I would be only a shadow of a man without the support of my friends at Horrorbabble, who horrify me almost nightly to restful cycles of dreams.
We wouldn't have it any other way, Bobby!
Lol. H.P., is that you?
@@ofthedarknessthemoonlight5412 no that's Bobby 😂
@@sabastjunberthiaume8391 well, that's what he SAYS... 😆
I just can’t get enough of, “ The Temple”. I love it.
Beautiful narration. Thank goodness it's in the morning not night I may have fallen asleep by that great voice telling a awesome story.
Ive passed by this so many times, so glad i finally listened to it! The first one reminded me of that episode of Love-Death-Robots in season 2, the one with the giant crab on the ship.
The last story about the rats was my favorite. Side note, you said "poop" 4-5 times in total and yours is now my favorite voice to have ever said the word. Subbed, ill be listening again
The Ogre story is amaizing
Thank you for reading it so eloquently
This is amazing, thank you very much!!
Thanks as always, Jamie, sir!
Yes!! I love sea stories!
You know, Gotcha, I'm finally able to see your profile picture. I'm on an old, rubbish HP laptop today - could never make it out on my other systems!
@@HorrorBabble Hahaha! It's my dear pet hen!
She's lovely haha
Thank you❣one of my favorite subjects. You rock!
I love you so much more for uploading this.
Thanks so much. Adding this to my ocean horror Playlist.
I could listen to this narrator read the ingredient label on a can of soup and still be intrigued!
We know the vast , forbidding oceans contain myriad, frightening ways to take our lives. But it's the unknown ways that are truly terrifying.
Wow! What a great selection! Voices in the Night and Three Skeleton Key were my favorites! Thanks for sharing!
U rock !!!! Thanks Ian
This is really good. You have a new fan. Thank you very much.
Awesome, thank you!

these tales are so cozy, perfect for bedtime listening
you have this wonderful...drawl? in your accent that fits the genre perfectly
I agree. If you listen very carefully in the background of the audio for The Island, you can hear ocean 🌊 waves on the shore.
Rowing to this right now.
Awesome stories! I listen to them while I am in the shower washing my hair and getting ready for bed.
Thank you

Thanks for listening!
For anyone like me out there, not familiar with the term poop deck here's an excerpt from Wikipedia:
In naval architecture, a poop deck is a deck that forms the roof of a cabin built in the rear, or "aft", part of the superstructure of a ship.[1]
The name originates from the French word for stern, la poupe, from Latin puppis. Thus the poop deck is technically a stern deck, which in sailing ships was usually elevated as the roof of the stern or "after" cabin, also known as the "poop cabin". On sailing ships, the helmsman would steer the craft from the quarter deck, immediately in front of the poop deck. At the stern, the poop deck provides an elevated position ideal for observation.[2]
So you won't be getting any different ideas :''D
Excellent readings!! Thank you for presenting a less-clichéd form of horror. Really great stuff!!
Glad I found this one. And glad I am not going out to sea ...
I really love these stories of the sea .
Thank you😀 from Salem, Massachusetts!!!! I Love the Sea, but I have much respect, for it🌊It terrified me!!!
"GREEN ISLAND GHOSTS"....Once a friend and I were sailing Moreton bay when we decided to stop at a small uninhabited island named Green island. There's nothing there except mangrove and a tiny beach, which we explored after beaching the boat. I told my friend about 2 convicts that had escaped to green island years ago only to find no water and no way off. The authorities new they were there, leaving them there to die of thirst. Just then we were both overcome by such an eerie feeling we quickly ran back to the boat. But to our total shock the boat was now about 10 metres offshore 'UNMANNED". The boat then turned and took off on a perfect tack heading for the mainland. Luckily eventually we got the attention of a nearby fisherman with an ear piercing whistle. He not only rescued us but helped us catch the boat, which was still on a perfect tack heading strait for the mainland, unmanned. The ghosts of green island stole my boat. Freaky!
U 29 must have already been a ghost boat in 1917, having been sent to the bottom in 1915 by HMS Dreadnought.
Tried to work out where I had herd this type of narrrtive before the old black and white movies well done
This is really good!
i was on a ship and went to the poop deck, but it was engaged,lol. liked this tale.nice one
"Something walked again tonight, it bent above my bed and I heard it gulp" The Narrator puts you there people😱🤢
