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.
Joel, you are the greatest narrator of all time in my opinion. You are the greatest narrator alive today. There can be only one GOAT in the narration world and right now that is the mighty Let's s Read.
agree. I’ve listened to many narrators and Joel really is the best ♥️♥️ Ive recommended him to all my Friends and they love him too.. I listen to him every single day and barely watch tv anymore “. You rock Joel “ 🙏🙏♥️♥️
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 guy in Story 2 really p*ssed me off for some reason, maybe just how they acted with the dispatcher about getting critical info. People who call 911 and then want to play childish "I'm too grossed out to look" games with the operator are so infuriating.
@@Bellydancerjulia There is a difference between "Ew it's too gross to look" and "I just saw a man's head blow up and would rather not look at it again"
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.
@@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.
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
For some reason I zoned out during the first story and when he said “there was a body in his boot” I was like how that body fit in his boot?? He boot too big for he got dam feet
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 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”?? 😂😂😂🎃🎃🎃
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 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.
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.

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
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
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 👍
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.
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.
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
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.

@@qwertydog9795 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
😆
I take my axe on dates with me. They never want to see me again 😊.

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.

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.
guy in story 2 was definitely killed for his crimes. Even criminals do not like pedophiles.

The first story was so heartwarming in the first half
have always love the thumbnail images you do, Joel. Keep it up and didn't overwork yourself
He doesn't make the thumbnails.
For some reason I zoned out during the first story and when he said “there was a body in his boot” I was like how that body fit in his boot?? He boot too big for he got dam feet
LOL SAME it's what i get for listening at work
lol same, Im American so i forget sometimes boot is a trunk
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.
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*
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!!
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

You dodged death that day.
Right!? 😂. Some crazy brutal death
Where
Hope you don't lose your head
Man, that first story is so good. It's bittersweet, but I wish the guy a good life in the future.
Love the video ready ❤❤ the first story is bittersweet and sad at the same time
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.
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. 👍🏼👏🏼🤟🏻👊🏼
Nice hairline Ralph.
@@CalvinCandieMO thanks 😊
I never comment on these but the first story- wow. That was hard to hear. So heart wrenching
The first story would make a good movie.
Should I listen this.. I’m going backpacking next summer
Listen to it while going to sleep
Thank you so so much for the amazing content Joel
Lovely 🥰 Thank you Let's Read ❤️🎃👻
Thanks for the new episode Let's Read! Greetings from Dallas TX! Cheers!
Absolute masterpiece from the start.
Wow story one has one of those emotional endings reminding me of the movie shot caller…
felt bad for the victim in the second story until i heard what he did, glad he got what was coming
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.
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.
Happy Halloween Let’s Read and everyone! Including creepy kidnapper dude!!

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.
26 seconds in I already hit the like button
24:00 story is literally real life version of the movie the hostel
The first story could be a movie... so sad, but also wholesome
so good
Let's read, I Like your channel. Real good Hostel stories here! I like the first story the best! Cool cover photo too!
Excellent episode
Thanks, Joel. I’m never going to pronounce Ballina as anything but Balleena from this day on. Sounds so much posher. 💕
No
The first story, wow!
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
Thank you.
Thanks. I'm never going to Egypt.
take a shot every time he says “cheeky monkey’s”
Story one: Accessory after the fact is something you owe no one. Just say no.
I've been waiting for this🤙🤙🤙 THANX Joel!!! Have an Excellent day and a Fabulous weekend everyone🤙🤙🤙
" I forgive you" 😢 😭
My new go to, thanks Let’s Read!
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.
I was once a hostess at a hostile hostel. They were hostile bc I hustled them all and hustled the holy hell out of there! Whew!

Gonna be honest,kinda thought this would been experiences of like being kidnapped and tortured like in the HOSTEL movies.
First story: I met my hubby while we both worked in a kwik save lol been together 19 yrs 😄 😊
it's not selfish to tell on someone that killed 2 people and put them in his trunk.
Love this channel 🖤👍great narration... And stories
Thanks for the vid Lets Read!

Love your channel! You always have the best stories and the perfect voice! Sorry I know that's weird. 😅🤷🏻♀️ True tho.
I hate the word wholesome unless it's purtaining to food. Good stories great narration 👿🖤
Man the first story, the whole thing is pretty sad, but good
Why the fuk did the first story bring me to tears 😢
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.
Best channel on TH-cam!
what are you gonna do for the 1 mil special! congrats bro!
