ASMR - Fantastic Creatures: Werewolves & Dragons

Published 2020-05-04
This male ASMR story is for history and gothic atmosphere lovers. In tonight's talk, we explore the origins and multiples faces of two myths: werewolves and dragons. From Ancient Greece to China, Scandinavia to Egypt, we travel the world to discover the roots of their modern, fantasy or fiction iterations.

You can now listen to my stories on music streaming sites. I am on several, so search for me on your favourite one!

Educational, relaxing, interesting, amazing, beautiful, mind-boggling stories! I can't wait to climb into bed with my earpods and cuddle up with The French Whisperer💕💕💕💤💤💤💤💤

  • @hannahh8696
    Watching a lot of classic horror film at the moment to pass time during lockdown here in Scotland, so this is perfectly timed. Thank you. Fascinating stuff.
  • @Drjoshington
    This is going to take me 2 years of rewinding back to the point where I passed out to get through it; and I couldn't be happier about it. Epic and amazing! Thank you!
  • @AbrahamLincoln4
    You know, I also hunt Werewolves instead of Vampires when I was a young man.
  • @johnnyutah7994
    Scotland here! Just climbed into bed about to go to sleep, but thought I would quickly check my phone before turning over. Boom! Notification saying the super Frenchman has dropped a new video! Outstanding timing again! Thank you sir! Much appreciated!

    As someone who has had no exposure to ASMR prior to discovering this channel, I’m still pleasantly perplexed to what is so great about this channel,( I’m in no doubt that it is. Since coming across the genre, I’ve had a look and listen to others and they leave me a bit cold, with the ASMR component being possibly less of interest to me at the conscious level). There’s some kind of emergent quality to your work that goes beyond any individual components being analysed.... at least for me. It would appear I’m responding to the allure of both the information and the presentation/delivery, mediated through the specifics of your accent and personality, in a way that I would never previously have imagined would necessarily be appealing. We all have lots to learn about ourselves it would appear lol
  • @LoryLilyBomber
    This. Is. Perfect. I love history (I’m actually a teacher), and fantasy-history is perfect for bedtime.
  • @ruabadfish02
    You could be discussing dinosaur poop and I would still be ecstatic to get your notifications. But werewolves and dragons?!?!? HECK. YES. 🐺 🐉
  • Thank youuuuu so much! As someone who suffers from depression and other mental disorders I need your videos to help me cope during these times, so much. These topics just make it all better. Thank you very much. Keep up your amazing work, sir. My respects to you. 🙏🏻
  • @user-jc1oo9od3r
    At long last, a video about Werewolves! I love them and I think the folklore surrounding them is so interesting (and yet, there are so few good movies about them). This is really a treat, thank you!
  • @sophieb7170
    Yaaaay always happy to see a notification from you! I’m currently studying an Ancient Egyptology Diploma and always have your Egypt video on in the background to help me concentrate! Stay safe 😊⭐️
  • @ProcyonPal
    Finally! Werewolf lore gets such little love and I'm so glad one of my favorite artists decided to tackle it.
  • @HuggableWinter
    Werewolves AND Dragons! This is going to be a good one.
  • This was a spectacular story for grown-ups.  Enjoyed it immensely.
  • @AnthonyMonaghan
    This story and your voice saved my life tonight. So much gratitude. Thanks.
  • @reidcook5793
    Love your channel, sir. A lot of ASMR content makers just tap on stuff but you actually talk about things that are interesting and educational while also providing relaxation. Thank you, and please keep up the good work.
