There’s something wrong with the old house in Autumn Vale.
Hidden deep in the woods, far from the nearest town, it has stood rotting in silence for generations; its walls crumbling, its halls empty, its secrets buried beneath layers of dust and decay. Most people avoid it. The locals whisper about it. And those who enter rarely stay long.
But beneath the house… there is something far worse.
A locked cellar.
An ancient well.
And a darkness that never stopped waiting.
For years, one man has carried a terrible secret tied to that bottomless pit: a secret stained with blood, guilt, and disappearances no one could ever explain. Every creak in the floorboards, every whisper in the night, every shadow moving through those abandoned halls seems to point back to the thing hidden below the house.
And now, after decades of silence… the well is calling again.
Tonight, we descend into a chilling tale of murder, madness, and a place where sins don’t stay buried. This is The Well.
Tonight’s fabulous story is 'The Well' by the wonderfully talented Darius McCorkindale (yes, I admit, that’s my nom de plume):
reddit.com/user/Dangerous_Ant_8377
Real human voice horror narrations, no AI voice ever!
Background music by me (freely available for use by other Creepypasta / No Sleep narrators):

Other music used is credited to the wonderful The Dark Somnium (intro) and the fantastic Tanner Stokes (end credits). The music is used here with their express permission.

Video footage was made by me with whatever Go Pro Camera it is that I own... I hope you found it to be a relaxing backdrop for today’s story! This was filmed in a graveyard in my hometown of Ilkley, West Yorkshire!
