My Favourite Supernatural ASMR Soundscapes for Every Occasion

Maybe it’s the idea of facing life without the knowledge that a new episode of Supernatural was inevitably coming soon. Maybe it’s the current global pandemic secluding and shackling us all indoors. But recently I have discovered a love for some really great Supernatural themed ambient audio tracks on Youtube.

At first it was just something to fall asleep to, but then I found more ASMR for different scenarios throughout the day that, particularly during the dark climate we are living in, have made me feel warmed and welcomed even when I was the most lonely I’ve ever been. Plus, with the show officially over as of 3 months ago, it’s been a nice way to stay in touch with my boys.

I stumbled upon Supernatural ASMR on Youtube randomly, and kept scrolling at first. Then, one night (3am probably) I found myself lying awake in the dark and I remembered that quirky little video I saw advertised on my feed and gave it a go. After a few attempts to find the right audio for me, I found this video. I was asleep within 10 minutes!

What I love about this video is that it’s not in-your-face-i’m-a-supernatural-themed-ASMR. There is minimal talking and the stuff that is said feels very distant, mumbled and washed out. The sounds of the road is the main element and this detail made the listening experience feel genuinely real, like you’re really drifting in and out of consciousness along the backseat of the Impala, catching snippets of the boys’ conversations.

There’s something so relaxing and comforting about the idea of being warm on a rainy, dark night, and going on a late night drive along an empty highway. The iconic car has always felt safe and like home to me, so during nights where I literally felt like I had no one, and nowhere to go, I had them. I also enjoy the cute indicator noises. If you’re someone who struggles to fall asleep, this might be perfect for you!

Something else that a lot of us might have struggled with in 2020 was working from home. Typical 9 to 5 office workers collectively found ourselves suddenly being thrust into a very lonely, secluded working day where we were lucky to talk to one other human in person, and lack of socialising can definitely take its toll on your mental state.

Working remotely also means that there are times where you can feel like you’re doing nothing of any worth in your life, because you’re not able to physically see your results and your hard work paying off. I think a lot of us saw a drop in our productivity because it’s easier to get bored, distracted, unmotivated or, like I do all the time, stare into a space indefinitely thinking about what I’m going to eat later or whether Dean Winchester deserved better.

During dreary, sad, grey Tuesday afternoons, I discovered this video which miraculously cured my work slump and I instantly started typing e-mail replies frantically like I was posssessed.

A lot of people prefer to work in silence and get more done when they’re alone, however a lot of people also find it much easier to focus in a coffee shop for example, or a library, with an ambient background of talking and shuffling – the sounds of humanity simply living. In terms of work, when I am surrounded by people who are focused and aspirational and hard-working, it rubs off on me and I instantly want to match them; it inspires me to be the best I can possibly be.

This video in particular is brilliant for this home office background because the various sounds of typing and scraping coffee cups against the table immediately made me feel like I wasn’t just replying to another meaningless e-mail because life is meaningless, but instead that I was doing something worthwhile, something important, because that’s what the Winchester’s represent. They may just sound like they’re researching a case in the Bunker, but that is a symbol of their hard-working, “Always Keep Fighting”, never-give-up attitude, which truly influenced me. It was definitely better than listening to the sounds of nothing echoing off the walls.

If I was still at school, I know that having this video on in the background would have definitely helped me concentrate on homework, particularly if I was having to write a long essay on something I wasn’t remotely interested in. At the moment most young people and university students are learning at home, which can be so restricting and frustrating. So, this type of ASMR can be really helpful for studying and putting you in the right headspace to learn. I 100% recommend these Men of Letters/Motel ambience videos if you’ve got a dissertation due!

There are many Supernatural ASMR videos which are a bit more “talkative” and some can even tell a whole story with super clear voices. These can be really good if you’re simply relaxing or doing something trivial whilst also wanting to keep your mind active. If you’ve run out of podcasts to listen to whilst you’re on your socially-distanced walk, for example.

Listening to a more vocal, words-based, ASMR can be really good if you enjoy listening to your comfort character, or if you find an actor’s voice particularly soothing. Listening to whole conversations from the show can also be really nostalgic, and a lot of the time the video creators will enhance and focus on the dialogue, making it more crisp, which can sometimes make you hear and feel the mood of the conversations in a totally new way.

The narrative videos can also feel like episodes of the show or audiobooks in themselves, and they can be nice if you don’t feel like watching an episode. In my experience, these ASMR videos work best when you’re tidying or cleaning, which are some of my least favourite, most boring, things to do. It brightens those chores up massively.
