The Call of the Void: facing the darkness of being human.
Have you ever been somewhere really high up, and out of nowhere your subconscious tells you to jump? This unsettling sensation was recently coined the "High Place Phenomenon," but long before that, the French already had a term for this: "l'appel du vide." Which translates to "The Call of the Void."

"Ignoring the darkness doesn't let it go away" -Thanks Jake
Made me think deeper than I expected on this Halloween night 😆 so impressed with how far you’ve come along with your videos! It’s only gotten better and better over the years! Hope you’re doing well Jake!
I remember watching your videos a few years back, you've improved to much as an artist and as storyteller it's inspiring to watch💪
Your talent for making these videos keeps getting better and better with each passing year! Truly enjoy seeing you grow.
I sometimes just watch your videos to be inspired by your compositions - but than there is so much more to keep coming back to.
Literally my favorite video of yours so far, wow! Thank you for sharing this!
Thank you, Jake! I'm so inspired watching your videos, it means a lot to me
This was sooo good! Thanks for putting this out
I’ve come back to this video a few times now, it’s such a fantastic one! Excellent work Jake
Your videos are artistic masterpieces imo. Such flowing storytelling and the ending was brilliant.
Hell yeah man! I love the way you've taken this!
Thanks for making this video Jake! I hadn't heard of the call of the void before but am experiencing it at high places as well. Relieving to hear it's common!
Dang, SO good. Always appreciate when you share honest thoughts in an inspiring way. Keep it up.
Thank you for this masterpiece Jake!
I've always been afraid of heights because I never liked the discomfort of feeling like I wanted to jump even though I was terrified. Thanks for explaining where that feeling comes from and the knowledge that I'm not the only one. Another great video Jake, looking forward to more of this season 😃Cheers!🍻
Thanks Jake. The video we needed. Your the man.
Been watching you for a couple years now, your videos are a big inspiration thanks for the motivation bro
Thank you so much Jake. I never knew if I was afraid of heights because of this feeling. I've looked up fear of jumping in the past, but all I found was stuff about jumping up and down. Now I know it's an actual real thing.
Jake, you tell the greatest stories and truly make phenomenal videos. Thank you.
Thanks Jake. Another great video!
I love seeing Jake getting back to making videos for his personal channel! Such a great creator!
amazing work! Always
Thank you for posting back Jake
finally somone addressed it! it's the intrusive thoughts, not the bad ones but just the random thoughts of "what if". I feel better knowing it has a name!
Amazing video & storytelling!
Loved this video ~ as always.
Hey bro. Always love your ideas and thought. Good stuff. Good to see you.
This was beautiful, thanks :)
Amazing work! Subscribed!
Great video, Jake.
I’ve always thought of it as my “Shadow Self”, beautiful video. 🖤
That shot of you taking off was the coolest thing I've ever seen
Man!!! Just watched your newly uploaded video and just only now noticed this video and watched it too. Awesome Jake! what a gift you have for sharing a story. You are in a league of your own. You and Creative Ryan are my favorites. I know there's still Casey and his brother but you and Creative Ryan are definitely on your way. Cheers!!!. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
The aesthetic of your videos are perfect. What a masterpiece.
love the perspective.
Whew, that was deep! Very fascinating though. I worked in a building on the 36th floor and these thoughts do arise. Great video!
That was epic dude. Love it
Always a quality content Jake. Happy halloween
Great video bro, you have always been an inspiration! 🤝
Jake, Thanks so much for this video. This was perfect. I am so grateful that while so may choose to make the next viral clickbait video, you continue to share stories and ideas that better those who watch. Thank you.
Yo man fantastic work on this one.
Nice to see Edinburgh videos! Love living here especially in autumn and Halloween ;)
I have had this happen, usually when on the edge of a tall cliff. Thanks for sharing this, super interesting
So here we go. Some deep shit but I like that voice + transitions. Keep going buddy. I'm here for few years already)
Im always looking forward for your video very inspiring! Im a fan! Well made
powerful message 👏
Dude, epic as always!✌️
Very thought provoking and beautifully presented. I think we’ve all felt the call at some point. It’s a powerful feeling to know that the only thing stopping me IS me.
Thx for making this video👍👍👍
“Your life could end at any moment” is exactly why I love hikes and summits. I will feel humble and reminded of how small my problems really are.
He doesn't miss! Kills it every video.
Great video!!
Very well made video, & on point. Its not a death wish, its a life wish, to carry on going & experience life to the full. I'm a former skydiver & current paraglider of 24 years experience, so can relate. 🤙
Amazing video mate. I’m sure many would benefit from watching 👍🏼
This is really good!
Amazing cinematography and storytelling ❤
this was amazing
Such an interesting video, still watching. I use to have the urge to jump from the ferry boat as a kid. It was so odd and had nothing to do with wanting to end my life. Jerking the steering wheel as well. Thankful I never did either. 😬 Solid message Jake!
Brilliant.
Incredible! 🤘 I haven’t heard anyone articulate the positive implications of the call of the void so well 🌚 This video is going to be super helpful the next time I meet someone who doesn’t experience it because that’s always a weird “are you okay?” kind of conversation haha so thanks for making this!
Great video as usual man, I always thought that I was the only one having those weird thoughts haha, good to know I'm not alone in this. Like you said, it doesn't mean you want to die, but yeah, it's just curiosity and thinking about 'what if'
Filmmaking 🙌 Music 🤯 Your vision 👏 This is an amazing piece of art! Thanks for sharing your thought on this topic 🫶
Sound design in this was elite 👌🏼
Your videos are always... Deep. It's personal. It's.. shit I don't know the word for it. It's. It's... It's, always thinking outside the box. I really do love your videos. 719 proud.
I definitely have had that thought before. Such a strange thing!
Great video, Jake. I’m trying to wrap my head around how you edited yourself to appear levitating and I can’t figure it out. Super cool.
I'm just 0:35 in, but the question "what if I jump" called a more then 10 years old memory, that I already forgot forever, but now I remember I had a similar scenario in my head, but it was with a lake and I was about 6 years old.
masterpiece
Well, I now need an in depth tutorial on that incredible levitation effect...
Don't have words to say after watching this video🔥🔥🔥❤️ absolute masterpiece 👍
Thought provoking stuff, Jake. Nailed it again 🎃
Why does this only have 5k views bro… ily
God Damn This Video Looks Amazing
I have a conflict on whats better, if the message to which I completely agree and thank, or the image. I guess that make it a great film. Thank you
When I first moved from India to US 3 years back, I was puzzled so much that why would someone celebrate being a ghost! I was new to Halloween and it’s themes! This video in a way intrigues me to think about it in a very different perspective! 🎃
incredible video, and thoughts! But I'm scared now, scared of myself, what if I decided to jump? I wouldn't want to leave people I know and love, but what if I chose to? How likely would it be? I find this thought very risky. Luckily I can't stand on a cliff near me, and I think it's better that way 😅
You are a very good storyteller !!!!!
wow really powerful story! I've definitely experienced this when driving haha
Maybe I’ll celebrate still being here every Halloween. That’s a new thought. Thanks for the POV. Also just talking to someone you trust isn’t always enough sometimes they won’t see the signs even when they are staring them in the face. And if that’s your only lifeline your going to leave them in a whole lot of pain. Get professional help if you need it, you gotta save you sometimes for those who care about you the most…… Sorry for rant, great video. 😅
Beautifull
This video reminded me why he PS my favorite content creator
🖤🖤 And all that Scotland footage 🤤
Happy Halloween 🎃
Yes!! I have! So happy to hear I’m not the only one 😂
How are you that good in storytelling? 🤯🔥🔥
Free agency.. as a human.. at any one moment in time you can be the greatest of good and love and the next the most evil and dark.. The biggest limiting factor on that wide range of freedom is ourselves. My gut tells me all of us humans are living an experiment. No where in all of the universes.. does this level of freedom exist.. except.. on our little planet.. just maybe. As always Jake.. your work is top notch.
Im stood on top of clay pits now,life and this era is fkd.i dont wanna be here,keep chickening out,the voids been calling me for awhile. I found a spot
This deserves millions of views. So ill
I feel you
Twice a week, I swim laps for exercise. It always proves that I'm not suicidal. Every two strokes I start to run out of air and ... I turn my head to breathe.
Hey, is that Greyfriars Kirkyard around 4:50?
Mate, I love your storytelling abilities and your thoughts about the call of the void. Facing the call of the void, to remind yourself to keep going, I love that! As a Christian, I don’t think you should face all darkness of being human head on. I believe that there is a spiritual world and I believe that the stories from the haunted place are real, as I for example also believe that practicing the weegee bord may work. I'm not going to say that Halloween should be forbitten, because I don’t think that. Halloween is fun. But my point is that you should be careful when seeking some darkness, specifically the spiritual darkness, because the spiritual world is a real thing, and it can affect you. So, Jake I don’t criticize your argument at all. I’m just reacting to you talking about facing the darkness head on, in combination with you seeking spiritual horror stories. Hope that makes sense. Love your films!
How did you shot it so perfectly?
I’m so excited to watch this video. Anytime I see your name it’s an instant click.
Shot in Golden Colorado?
The quality of the editing and cinematography is just insane!
why this video ended up too early? I was enjoying.
Can't wait for the moment when void will take me
What film overlay do you use?🧐
My dude… 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
