Wow! The first story was crazy! You should try to find longer stories like those. I think they would do great on this channel. Thanks for all you do let’s read! 😊
The first story finally explains why psych wards go out of their way to put you in rooms with someone else. To keep people from doing something stupid... Good to know. I've stayed at multpile, and so far, it was just an annoyance, but it's good to know there's a reason.
The last line of that first story was so touching, I just sat there mouth open. I had to pause, process it and cry a little. As a person who 1. was an acloholic 2. ended up on a psych ward over alcoholism and suicidlal ideation 3. made a great friend during my time there after years of living life with literally no friends and lastly 4. is an athiest but still swayed into nearly painful starstruckness by the concepts of unconditional forgiveness that exist in the bible and specifically in jesus christ, I can tell you that this story will stay with me forever. At least one commentor described it as bittersweet but to me it's so pure. The lowness, the connection, the heartbreak, the horror...and the reconnection. I want to wear this "story" like a gem above my heart for as long as I will remember it.
As someone who has been spiked, the Theo story rang true to my experience after 1 glass of wine, I couldn’t speak first of all just slurring and mumbling but was still able to walk, then i completely lost all control of my body and just dropped to the ground like tonne of bricks, luckily my friends were there and I was brought into my friends flat safely
@@jacobbowling263 Jacob the way you talk is very disturbing. Either you have severe autism or your just a weirdo but it's been going on for six months or more. Joel doesn't like you, he literally never replies to you and only likes your comments to keep you interacting with his channel and paying him monthly. You are getting used and it's hilarious how clueless you are. Get help.
Joel man, you knocked it out of the park buddy. That first story gave me anxiety, for real😅…. That was another amazing piece of art. Keep up the great work. Definitely tied up in first place with Mr. Nightmare. 👍🏼👏🏼🤟🏻👊🏼
I once stayed at a hostel. There were these weird guys who lurked around making chit chat with us back packers. I’ll never forget this strange tattoo they all had it was the head of a Blood hound. I believe written under it was written “Elite Hunting”?? 😂😂😂🎃🎃🎃
Heard stories about how Americans 🧳 abroad and are preyed on by being drugged then robbed and or murdered or trafficked. I think people are being hunted in national Parks because so many go missing and you only find a body some of the time.
I can see Wakefield prison from kitchen window. I was cooking dinner while listening to the 1st story. It's not nice living so close to monster mansion. But I often watch and wonder what life is like inside there.
I have a similar story to the first one involving a good friend of mine but don’t want to really discuss it. It’s just one of those things you lock away deep inside, I will say it was definitely surreal like how this guy described it
As someone who has spent most their childhood and teenage years growing up in Byron Bay and Mullumbimby, there is a very dark side to both towns (more so Byron); but the media does their best to hide these sort of thing, as they don't want it to affect the amount of tourists that visit each year. The cops seem to be equally pathetic, as they are a lot more interested in arresting teenagers for the smallest amount of weed. Don't get me wrong, it's is a very beautiful place but there is a ridiculous amount of crime that goes under the radar. My mother bumped into Theo's father when he arrived in Byron, she offered her condolences and ended up embracing Theo's father in a consoling hug. As you can imagine he was completely distort and could barely speak through tears, but said he would keep returning to Byron to look for his son. It was heart breaking to hear. On a more positive note; thank you Lets Read for a great report! Unfortunately I have to agree with you in regards to what you think may of happened, and still his happening in Byron Bay and the surrounding area; for all it's beauty there is a dark dark truth hidden beneath.
Bunny? Dude, I'm more afraid of that small possum I saw last night... He may have been small but that doesn't mean anything lol excellent narration as always, these stories definitely give one pause for thought before traveling to another country
there is a fake account (2sub count) pretending to be you, messaging people in the comments that they just won a giveaway. you might want to make an announcement post just so other people are aware
I have been Byron Bay many many times, it definitely is a hippie place. Reminds me of Brighton in England, apart from Brighton has no sun and has pebbled and shelled beaches.
Human trafficking is increased alot due to that people fear to travel any country they dream off. Everyone wants to travel different countries to learn see and mix with cultures. But due all the negativity and fear of safety people think twice should I visit or not. Please try taking someone trust worthy while travelling 👍
STORY 1 !!! You aint his “BEST FRIEND/ BROTHER.. you gunna call the cops on him are you serious after he SAVED YOUR LIFE!!!.. and that guy didn’t rob that woman of nothing in the United States that’s called “crime of passion”.. let’s say you go home and catch your wife in bed with another man and you killed them both. Of course you’re gonna be charged but you’ll be charged a lot LESS than you would be if you just killed two people on the side of the street randomly, because they account for the feeling you have in the midst of catching them cheating… he didn’t show you anything so you had no proof of what he really did. You could’ve walked out of that car and walked home like nothing happened and if they catch him later on and seen you meet with him all you guys did was talk about life because you know each other from back then….. I think people forget where they come from and now because you have all this stuff going on in your life you forget, you were in that room next to him about to kill yourself and he saved you and now because life is going good for you you’re gonna throw him to the curb, you didn’t have to bury the bodies with him. I understand that completely, but just not calling the police when you leave his car.. that’s just commin decency to the guy who saved your life… do i think its okay to kill someone NO, but when a husband/wife cheats in the own home and bed that they live/sleep in with their partner they know theirs a chance they will get caught and it could have real consequences.. and they chose to do it regardless so … ya make your bed ya gotta lie in it🤷🏾♂️
dark somnion, deadly cure, mr creeps, mr reverant and lets read my favourites, all of them brilliant with individual styles 👌💖 all have hypnotic voices
In the third story I can understand y yann would be afraid of what the Egyptian government would do if he talks about what happened but at the same time if the Egyptians were to do anything like kill him or his family then that would basically be an act of war. If agents of a foreign government were to step foot onto French soil and cause harm or even kill some of their citizens then the French would have no choice but to declare war on Egypt or if it gets out that Yann was tortured or subjected to some type of trauma then the whole world would be aware that the same thing could happen to any of their citizens if they were to travel to Egypt and I would think that the countries that r part of the United Nations would most likely decide that none of them will continue to trade with or have any contact with Egypt and they would basically shut Egypt off to the rest of the world and any countries that ignore this would also be shut out.
The case of Theo Hayez is perplexing. I noticed a few things looking at the Aussie news sites on TH-cam: most of the comments sections are turned off. What are they hiding? Is there a serial killer in NSW? Or as Joel suggested, a human trafficking ring? The only body of many people gone missing was Thea Liddle, in some abandoned house outside of town. Who gave the cops that tip? When Theo got to the beach, was he alone? I read he watched a comedy clip while there (was he showing someone?) and was on Whatsapp, like all was well. The bartender, or whoever threw him out of the bar sure seems suspect: How easy would it be to drug his drink, throw him out for being intoxicated, then have an accomplice lure him to the beach, then take him? From reading further on this case, the whole thing screams lazy police work. Sorry to obsess, just my two cents.
It’s hilariously fucked up how a woman can cheat on her husband and somehow she still gets to steal the guys house, keeps the kids and probably still get alimony and child support. But if the guy cheats for some reason the courts act like because of that the woman is entitled to basically everything he has. So u would think that means when the woman cheats she shouldn’t be entitled to anything but nope u still get fucked
That first story is perfect for an animated short film, where they feature expressive faces and the video itself has no dialogue, just an emotional piano piece in the background and a sadder ending, with the guy who killed his wife committing suicide and leaving a note for the guy that betrayed him, saying he forgives him for doing that, and he wishes he was there to stop him from doing all of this.
That 1st story almost relates to me completely except I'm slowly getting better and starting to drink less but smoke weed. Eventually want to quit everything but weed helps. Unless you're an addict you won't understand.
I have heard that they thought he had gone into a well known homeless camp and was there for some time, maybe 20 mins? and then he was known to be walking faster than his normal gait - also sometime later his cell was switched on and then off - could that be because someone murdered him for his phone?
In the second story I’m trying to figure out what a bail hostel is because it sounds a lot more like a halfway house for parolees. I’ve never heard of housing for ppl out on bail, when someone’s out on bail that means they’re awaiting trial not that they’ve been released from prison and usually when someone’s out on bail they stay at home not a hostel. Also there’s no reason for a parole officer to be checking up on ppl out on bail so idk if the person telling the story is confusing bail with parole or if this is somewhere outside of America where bail is something completely different
Oh but, raccoons are SO cute! Yep, cuter than a bug's ear. Yeah, right. Just remember folks, if you happen upon a most likely rabid 'coon in the wild or in your backyard, they are deadly whether rabid or not. Also deadly is backpacking or even travelling alone. Trust no one and just stay home. Travel the world on TH-cam.

@qwertydog979 yeah, that's super-weird. Never saw that one before.
Hey I just got that weird giveaway on my replies,it's in numbers and just really weird.
🤟
The first story is bitter sweet. But very sad. I actually pictured the 2 men with happy endings. He did the right thing.
Damn that first story was powerful and what happened after... Just... Damn...
He betrayed his best friend. He is a loser.
Would make a great movie
I know. That story made me feel depressed for a bit.
The two men with happy endings is on a different website.
The first story is such a sad but beautiful ending.
Story sharer, if you're reading this, thank you for sharing. I hope you and your friend are doing better.
As a kidnapper, I find this channel not only fascinating, but relatable 👍
As a burglar who regularly targets houses where someone is home alone, I agree
I don't think this is appropriate content for a napping kid 😜lol

and Mr. Nightmare As well Jacob.
@@SkyUnknownstealth I'm alright I guess. Taking care of 2 children it's a lot of stress but I love my children so it's all worth it.

Wow! The first story was crazy! You should try to find longer stories like those. I think they would do great on this channel. Thanks for all you do let’s read! 😊
That first story is so sad but also bittersweet if that makes sense. I couldn’t imagine having to turn my best friend in to the police.
The first story finally explains why psych wards go out of their way to put you in rooms with someone else.
To keep people from doing something stupid...
Good to know. I've stayed at multpile, and so far, it was just an annoyance, but it's good to know there's a reason.
The last line of that first story was so touching, I just sat there mouth open. I had to pause, process it and cry a little.
As a person who
1. was an acloholic
2. ended up on a psych ward over alcoholism and suicidlal ideation
3. made a great friend during my time there after years of living life with literally no friends
and lastly 4. is an athiest but still swayed into nearly painful starstruckness by the concepts of unconditional forgiveness that exist in the bible and specifically in jesus christ,
I can tell you that this story will stay with me forever.
At least one commentor described it as bittersweet but to me it's so pure. The lowness, the connection, the heartbreak, the horror...and the reconnection. I want to wear this "story" like a gem above my heart for as long as I will remember it.
I hope you're no longer an atheist because God loves you and Jesus died so you could go to Heaven and spend eternity in peace❤
As someone who has been spiked, the Theo story rang true to my experience after 1 glass of wine, I couldn’t speak first of all just slurring and mumbling but was still able to walk, then i completely lost all control of my body and just dropped to the ground like tonne of bricks, luckily my friends were there and I was brought into my friends flat safely
Sweet dreams everyone and as always thank you Joel
Joel always has the baddest ass thumbnails. This one would be a DOPE Halloween mask.

Looks like something out of the Elder Scrolls
have always love the thumbnail images you do, Joel. Keep it up and didn't overwork yourself
He doesn't make the thumbnails.
The first story was so heartwarming in the first half
Story #1 was a banger, I had an uncle named Andy who went through a rehab program I was worried this story was going to be about him. Lol
bless this channel for the content it uploads.
this channel never disappoints.
I fall asleep 2 his stories every night and then I dream about them that's the best part! And I never miss a story thank u Joel!!
Hello my awesome friends, I hope everyone is having an amazing day!!! Much love from Colorado!!
Love getting ready to cook dinner and I get the notification for a new video. *chef's kiss*
Love the video ready ❤❤ the first story is bittersweet and sad at the same time

Thanks for the new episode Let's Read! Greetings from Dallas TX! Cheers!
Lovely 🥰 Thank you Let's Read ❤️🎃👻
The older I get, the more I'm convinced the adage "Sticks and Stones" wasn't intended to be a matter of fact but rather a resolve.
It's a bit of both.
Let's read, I Like your channel. Real good Hostel stories here! I like the first story the best! Cool cover photo too!
Should I listen this.. I’m going backpacking next summer
Listen to it while going to sleep
on that first story when the Andy guy said that his wife had an affair and she got the house.. that's probably the worst part of this whole thing
No the worst part was her getting killed
@@mikayh3428 The worst part was someone who seemed like a good man, being driven to something that drastic by his life falling apart around him
what are you gonna do for the 1 mil special! congrats bro!
Absolute masterpiece from the start.

You dodged death that day.
Right!? 😂. Some crazy brutal death

Hope you don't lose your head
You’ll always be the greatest and my favorite narrator alive, I’ll always be a fan! :)

Love this channel 🖤👍great narration... And stories
Happy Halloween Let’s Read and everyone! Including creepy kidnapper dude!!
Ugh I was so hooked on story #3 to not know what actually happened to him is so frustrating 😤😭
I try to avoid any unsolved mystery stories for the same reason! I get so annoyed not knowing the end, lol.
Well after the story of the young French man, I am never going to vacation in Egypt, even if it's in the "safe" parts of the country.
My new go to, thanks Let’s Read!

Thanks, Joel. I’m never going to pronounce Ballina as anything but Balleena from this day on. Sounds so much posher. 💕

Gonna be honest,kinda thought this would been experiences of like being kidnapped and tortured like in the HOSTEL movies.
In the third story I can understand y yann would be afraid of what the Egyptian government would do if he talks about what happened but at the same time if the Egyptians were to do anything like kill him or his family then that would basically be an act of war.

it's not selfish to tell on someone that killed 2 people and put them in his trunk.
The case of Theo Hayez is perplexing.
I noticed a few things looking at the Aussie news sites on TH-cam: most of the comments sections are turned off.
What are they hiding?
Is there a serial killer in NSW?
Or as Joel suggested, a human trafficking ring?
The only body of many people gone missing was Thea Liddle, in some abandoned house outside of town. Who gave the cops that tip?
When Theo got to the beach, was he alone? I read he watched a comedy clip while there (was he showing someone?) and was on Whatsapp, like all was well.
The bartender, or whoever threw him out of the bar sure seems suspect: How easy would it be to drug his drink, throw him out for being intoxicated, then have an accomplice lure him to the beach, then take him?
From reading further on this case, the whole thing screams lazy police work.
Sorry to obsess, just my two cents.
take a shot every time he says “cheeky monkey’s”

Egypt is #1 on my list of places to never ever go along with central and south America, middle east, Australia, California, and some other
My #1 are all the places I'm literally illegal in, but Egypt is now up there as well, even though I'm barely legal over there.
