"Too many monsters that don't have to hide in the dark anymore."
Damn that was a good finishing statement.
That whole story was amazing and sickening. Every faction and group during The Troubles tried to make themselves out to be the good guys, defenders of "their people" who did what they had to do to protect neighborhoods and families. But just the opposite was true--they are all a bunch of murderous, power-hungry psychopaths.
Absolutely!
So true about the fear on both sides! No wonder people left NI to live freely on both sides.There are still areas for each side to live in and still the same with mixed marriages! will it change God knows! A united Ireland will only happen when the UK have had enough and will hang NI out to dry with the South paying the price!
“Suddenly we heard the most ungodly, bone chilling shrieks-“
Me, eating my oatmeal: “ Foxes.”
Seriously, you could make a haunted mansion just by getting a decrepit house and locking a fox and a loon in every other room.
Hahaha! I keep waking up at 2am, here in the docklands to foxes screaming. Horrifying at that time. Lots of foxes around the luas line for some reason too.
@@es5734 luv is in the air. It’s spring.
Kelly, me being Australian foxes and also Koala's territorial and mating cries.
I grew up in Waterford love know what a fox sounds like and we all had a drunk aunt Kathleen lookin for a fag we thought was a banshee calm down
All the love from Ireland 🇮🇪 thanks let’s read! Goodnight everyone!!
Thank you. Sending love from the US 🤗❤️
I’ve been waiting for a video like this for a while now haha
And goodnight to u too ✌
Cool
I fkn love ireland
Hearing Americans say "Da" always sends me into orbit hahahahhah
Same🤣🤣🤣dawww😁🍀
Agreed! I’ve been looking for stories read by an Irish person at least an accent
The Irish are an interesting and lovely folk. I have had several Irish friends, it always took me a lot of effort to understand what they say.
From experience, when youre irish who sounds american you get pure slagged :,>
It doesn’t help we have like 50 different accents here that don’t even sound alike. My parents are from opposite side of the country and each side of in-laws have trouble understanding the other side
My granny came from Louth. She was never described as either lovely nor intersting.
She was a militant, proper wench (may God rest her soul). Lol
Thanks bud! \m/
@@genghis_connie I mean she probably left Ireland when it frankly a massive impoverished shithole that was reeling from centuries of colonialism. Poor Granny was just a product of her time
I'm glad (well, not *glad* but you take my meaning) you included the Irish Potato Famine in this; it was genuinely, truly horrific. More horrific than any legend or myth, because what we humans do to each other is far more terrifying than anything we could make up. If the British had simply let the Irish eat the lifestock they were raising to be shipped to England, so many would not have starved to death.
But of course, it was all about greed and the almighty pound. The Irish watched their children starve, while landlords got fat off of their suffering.
I'm pretty sure the same bloodline that starved my ancestors are still calling the shots right now in Ireland
If you think that the working class English people were responsible for the famine, you might be interested to know that the English working class lived in rampant poverty, in slum houses unfit for human habitation, worked with very little protection from dangerous working conditions, for a pittance of a wage, with no holidays, no pension, no employment rights, in dark mills, red hot steel plants, on agricultural land that they had no chance of ever owning, in coal mines, in engineering plants, etc etc. on dangerous docks and railway lines and building complex infrastructural projects mainly by hand or hand powered tools and equipment. The health care was very limited, clean water, warm and comfortable housing was the exception instead of the rule.
They were only slightly better treated, better housed, better paid, etc than the typical working class Irish.
It's worth remembering that the English and Irish and Scottish and Welsh working class were in a very similar position.
@@simonyip8571 I know, I never once said the common English person was responsible. I clearly blamed the landlords, many of whom didn't even live in Ireland and instead had a representative there to collect rents, and all of them rich and heartless.
My family on dads side are from Southern Ireland so we were told from an early age about the potato famine and previous generations documented the horrors of what really went on, the British purposefully starved the Irish it was not some crop destroying plague that travelled from America. Shameful sometimes to be British
I'm sure that's why my family moved from Ireland to Scotland, I've never actually heard or read anything about the Potato Famine but knew of it. Didn't realise how bad it was.
Hearing an American say certain Northern Irish slang words is hilarious. Love how the first story Tries to cover up Johnny (Mad Dog) Adair’s name but gives it away with his nickname. Seriously though, great video. 👍👍
Mad Dog.......I wonder who it could be? ha ha
Joel trying to pronounce Irish words is going to be everything 🇮🇪 Though be honest he does a better job with British and Irish slang and place names than most creators
Ardoyne and Botanic pronunciations were the ones that got me haha
@@M4cc4n4 tbh all the NI slang words were funny
He didn't really ...
Story 3: Many may not be realise this but during those times in Ireland if a family was evicted (or 'turned out' as it was termed) it was essentially a death sentence - they had nowhere to live, were not allowed to build their own hut, had no land to till and they would die. That was their fate. In that context its understandable why they made the decision they had made.
I’m half Irish half Italian - so the themes of last two vids have made me chuckle a little as well as be spooked by the stories of course! Lol
So am I...Irish/Italian born in Canada
I understand, 😁from Dublin Ireland🍀🍀🍀
The thing about the 4th story that I’m surprised was left out was that it’s not that they starved in the famine but that the English starved them!! Irish didn’t only have potatoes and no other crop, it was the only crop the English let them have. England exported the rest of Irish goods. They used our farms and sold our crops for profit while the nation starved. England starved us.
Glad somebody said it
Listen mate your rich Irish countrymen are just as to blame for the famine. Look to your own for your problems,🥲
@@HHM706there were no Rich Irishmen, unless you count Anglo-Irish as Irish, which most people, even themselves don’t
During the Potato Famine of Ireland, Queen Victoria only sent two thousand in money donations to help with the famine. When the Turkish King wanted to send 10,000 they made him reduce his donation to 2,000 to not up show Queen Victoria.
Hello from Ireland 🇮🇪
In my bed ready for the next story 😴😌
@Vercingetorix 🤣🤣🤣 just by my face u know lol
Damn it I'm late. But I've had a long day and had to go get a bottle, I mean a drink. Ready to unwind and leave this day behind. 🥃 Well wishes everyone 😘
Edit: with headphones let's read is 80% ASMR.
The length of this video is a perfect 50:50 🍀
FIRST STORY
Me: What. Kind. Of. Fukery is this?
In Belfast in the 80’s pretty much just a normal Tuesday
“The troubles.”
The troubles! Kneecaps & bomings
Welcome to The Troubles. From the escalation of violence by the British in '69 and Bloody Sunday in '72, until the Good Friday Agreement in '98, all of Ireland was more or less at war with itself, Protestants versus Catholics. Not so fun fact: Zombie, by the Cranberries, is about The Troubles, and the song did a lot to draw international attention to the violence so that somebody would notice and help them end the fighting.
@@MegaKat Thanks for the context, I had no idea about this. It sounded odd when I was listening to the story because it sounded like modern day Tudor-Elizabethan.
Sitting in Belfast lovin the Irish stories yeoooo
I'm Irish, stoned at the moment, but man these stories are pure awesome 😀
I'm irish also, and I'm also stòned😁🤣🍀
Haha, nice one. Nothing else to do during this feckin lock down 😉
@@Intercontinentalist true enough 🍀
“THERE ARE NO GHOSTS IN IRELAND, KATHLEEN”
Or smoke! 🤣🤣
@Max Smith good
@Comrade Iggy yes, keep degens off our island
There are banshees
@Comrade Iggy yes i am a strong believer of his ideology
Love just laying in bed at night listening to your stories and freaking my self out .
Me tooooo!!!! My lullaby 🤣
Ha I do the same thing . I even fall asleep to them somehow
I do like hearing stories about the motherland (I'm Irish from my mother's side.), even if they are stories about the darker side of things. It goes to show you that no matter where you go, there are people who are just as bad, or worse off, than you are. There are also assholes lurking in every city to take advantage of you, or hurt you to boost their own fragile egos, if you are not vigilant (especially in the first story). My favorite story was about the overnight campout in "The Wendy House" (from Barrie's Peter Pan) with ghost stories.
Honestly this is one of the best collections of stories I’ve seen posted on TH-cam. The Irish truly are master storytellers! Would love a sequel 🍀💚🤍🧡🍀
I have once again been blessed with my falling asleep playlist. Thank you, Joel.
lol i have heard people think the irish people though the screams from foxes were the reason they came up with the banshee to eplain it but when i heard that in the last story that had me laughing. and things for this group of stories i would love to visit ireland to learn more about my heritage and such.
I don't wanna think about Foxes having sex
back when Pokémon go was just out I couldn’t sleep so went walking around the village in the middle of the night to catch some Pokémon (and wasn’t the only one in a village with only the population of around 2000) and there was a drunk stumbling home who mistakenly thought I was a banshee and I didn’t even have to sing.
@@TheGherboy I don't think my family are the ones haunted by the banshee i don't think they go after the dolan clan
@@TheGherboy Yep that what i hear at least
@Max Smith they from ohio?
Love my Irish ☘️ heritage! God bless you all!
Please do a skinwalker, dogman, and other cryptids episode. I have a lot of dental work getting done this month that's gonna be a bit rough and I'd love to hear your voice to help sooth the jitters and help me fall asleep during healing. 💛🥰
Awk Emily your teeth are gorgeous. You don’t need dental work. Love from Ireland 🇮🇪
Little bit of information for all of those who don't know how bad the great potato famine was, the population of the island of Ireland before the famine was around 8.9 million people, today the population of the island is 4.9 million. It was so bad that the population has not recovered to it's original numbers before the famine 150+ years later.
Wow thanks I knew it was bad but had no idea how bad the death toll was another history lesson they briefly skimmed over in school 😳
He might have not been entirely wrong about the blight being spread by the fog. Blight spores flourish and spread in cool, damp areas and are spread through the air. A fog could easily be carrying spores along with it. Of course the origin of the particular strain of blight could have been from foreign imports, which caused spores to spread. It's basically a type of mold.
No amount of creepy stories will keep me from wanting to visit the Emerald Isle. Good video!
Much love from Dublin Ireland man 🇮🇪
Hi Alain from Dublin Ireland, I'm living just outside Dublin now have a goodnight 🙂🍀
Siobhan Norton hey siobhan, living in dublin myself its nice to see another irish person enjoying lets read haha :)
@@shockwave113 oh wow yeah!,I grew up in Dublins inner city ,I live just outside Dublin now in County kildare🍀I love these stories,hope your having a goodnight 🙂🇨🇮
Love this!!! I am of Irish heritage as well and just love these stories 💚☘️🍀Thank you Let's Read ❤️
Goodnight everyone!!
love falling asleep to these videos!!
God bless u haha its 1am where i live , was waiting for u to post . Btw loved the fur con video
Never been so early lol, was about to go to sleep but now I have something nice to listen to while falling asleep
Something nice 😂
2nd video watched and new subscriber here. Of all the channels I follow this narrator's voice is the best. I happen to be first generation Irish American. My Dad raised in Co. Clare, had diphtheria as a child in the 1920's. Our family castle in the 1600's was Bunratty, which now is a tourist destination. My Dad was quiet, soft spoken and a very hard worker and arrived at Ellis Island with $5 to his name in 1949. All he ever wanted to do was farm in Iowa and he did quite well. He rarely spoke of the politics in Eire regarding the Brit invasion of Northern Ireland. But I read up on it. While I like the Brits, they have no business in Northern Ireland and need to get hell out!
What year was this you advent you are talking about
@@charlottestreet3301 Huh? "advent"?
Squaaaaawk 🦅🇺🇸
😂👍🏼
Too early for me to listen to this at bed maybe I’ll wait till then......ahh who am I kidding I can’t wait
Trying to find a four leaf clover is as hard as trying to find a microscopic needle in a haystack.
once my cousin found one with 5 leafs 😱 we still have it laminated
@@monomonito929 Liessssss
@@monomonito929 when I lived in OH, our yard apparently had a huge patch of mutated clovers, because the entire patch bore anywhere from 3 leaves to 8 leaved per clover. We would inundate our dad with 4 leaf clovers every summer
Look for a square in amongst the triangles. They are easier to find like that. Just have to sit and look.
@@carlitoalterego2709 Thanks for the tip
Joel says Belfast like someone from Cherry Valley.
Currently in Ireland for a family trip, this is a perfect way to pass time going from city to city!
The people who got kneecapped with a gun where the lucky ones. I’d heard stories of some people getting kneecapped with long rusty (for the potential tetanus) nails hammered through their kneecaps. Bullet is quicker and cleaner. There was one person I heard of that was stealing cars who got crucified on an iron spikey fence (and this was after the troubles was officially over). They just stuck his hands through the spikes of the fence, tied his legs up and left him like that.
Wow. Just. Wow.
@@misscyanic2484 want crazy? My mother used to work in a hospital lab in the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast which is right near an IRA stronghold area. To get to work they’d have to go through where there was army posted at the entrance of the hospital and the IRA would take pot shots at the army and they didn’t care much about civilians just going to work. As a result she would regularly get shot at going to work, one guy she worked with got missed by literally inches as a bullet lodged in the wall beside him.
This isn’t the crazy part though. The crazy part is there is literally no one who lives in Northern Ireland who if not had an experience of some sort themselves doesn’t have a friend or relative who does, from both sides of the divide. Both sides where pretty much as bad as each other. Stuff still goes on here, it’s just not as in the open or as often.
It was quite normal to have to evacuate the building when you went shopping in Belfast, they announced people to leave the building and why, and people would without blinking an eye about it.
Jaysus. I'm a pampered American *sshole who's only dealt w weekly neighborhood shootings at worst. Honestly, I've never heard about the "troubles" w any depth or specifics, like this. It wasn't discussed in the schools I attended, in my presence by adults, & just a few brief sound bites on TV. Thank you for the brief enlightenment, and my condolences. I hope peace will come, finally.
Was that the fella in Seymour Hill you're talking about getting crucified? I remember that, it was crazy. One of my best mates Granny lived like 2 minutes away from where that happened. I don't think anyone ever got charged or done for that, did they? People from those areas do not talk to cops.
@@roryslaine7896 can’t remember all the details about it (especially at 340am), I do remember it was a Protestant area, he was Catholic and there stealing cars and one of the Protestant paramilitaries did it. Same guy was chief suspect on who stole my brother’s car outside the cinema one night (the car was found beat up and outside his house, plus history of joyriding). So the guy even if he was in the sort of place where you talk to the police, was not the sort of person people would have been inclined towards telling anything to the police about what happened and who. Did he deserve what he got for what he did, no not really, but at the same time the police didn’t look too hard for the suspects either.
Keep up the good work when I struggle to sleep or bored I listen to you and the other creepy pasta stories tellers
Less than two minutes in and I've got to hear Joel say "buck eejit". I'm pretty happy about that.
thought for a minute this was going to be stories about terrifying leprechaun encounters lolol
Perfect timing for my drive! 🌱
I've never listened while driving. I'm gonna have to try that. 😁
@@beautifulcrazey7713 it’s thrilling!
yesss. perfect timing from my absolute favorite ❤❤
Love it so far!!! I hope EVERYONE loves Lets Read!!!

Great video! I love the birds chirping at the end of your videos, lets me know it’s safe lol keep me coming.
God bless from Ireland.
Perfect way start to March!! 🍀
How sad, coffin ships, sharks. 😭
Been listening to horror stories at bedtime for nearly 3 years now. Amazing getting to hear some stories from home.
Earned yourself a new fan!
Love from Belfast!
Love these! Hope you do more of these for other countries, it's a perfect mix of some horrifying tales and history lesson.
The real knee capping guy's name is Jonny 'Mad Dog' Adair.
Proud to have just a pinch of Irish
I love this and how informative it is, as my ancestors cane from different parts of Ireland and to know the struggles they went through
Loved the last story! Thanks for sharing!🌷
These stories have been epic! Good stuff!
lmao @ the banchee one 😂💀
Thank you Joel! Please do more! Lots of love from Galway!
Edit: Another commenter was right, Joel saying Irish slang is literally everything XD
Loved all the stories. More please.
Loved these stories
Great vid Lets Read!, always a pleasure :) .
Ahh I love hearing spoopy stories in the morning!
YES!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
Im watching this with a streetwalker that i met just now lol

@@beautifulcrazey7713 u 2 😘
How was it?
🤣🤣🤣👍
@@darksu6947 she robbed me for my phone but I got anther one from amazon right now
These are great Joel, I’d love more of these tbh
"I opened my cabinet, right? My spine shook and my fingers curled in absolute fear."
"My normally full shelf of scotch whiskey was gone. This was by far the worst and most terrifying experience for me."
Pffft.
You have the best voice to listen and fall asleep to. You are a very good story teller!
Awesome as always 💜
American with Irish ancestory, Happy St. Patrick's Day!
As an Irish fan waiting for one of these from another powerhouse of the horror story community, I am glad to hear these from you friend! Peace an' Love! \m/
Hey Joel great video as always! Loved this especially as I’m Irish! When saying Donegal try pronounce it like done-e-gall, just if you want to sound like a native 😁
Good stories
Terrific and interesting stories especially the lesson of the Irish potato famine of 1840s. Great bedtime story. Thank you
Really liked those thank you!
Being from Northern Ireland it did give me a laugh hearing how you pronounce the slang 🤣🤣
Edit the greenvale Hotel really brought back the memories of it being in 5 miles away but I genuinely couldn't believe it it was on here and really brought home that these storys are actually true.. 😳
Thx now I'm finna take a nice nap
That last story was wonderful!!
your intro >>>>>
keep the videos coming our way
It's funny hearing an American accent with an Irish dialect. Great stories!
Been waiting for them.... blankly mode and pillow talk right now 💋❤️
He does give good voice 🙃
I can always trust Let’s Read for more than 15 mins of A list entertainment. Thank you✨
Awesome!!!
Top 'O The Morning Terror.
Daughter of Darkness 🤗😘. I've had a horrible day yet again but putting it behind me, the Irish way 😅 Hope you had a good day.
@@beautifulcrazey7713 I'm having a good day - sorry that you're not. Get some green beer, kick back and let Let's Read's smooth voice drip over you.
@@DaughterofDarkness if you want to drink something really Irish, get a load bottles wine at the store and pour in one those huge glasses. We call it Wine o Clock or at the moment, Lockdown juice. Drinking wine and not considering it drinking is the real Irish way. We are just modern Europeans darling
@@sams3015 Ha! For now I'll stick with green tea. But come St. Patrick's Day ... maybe I'll do just that!
@@DaughterofDarkness It’s cancelled here, so drink too join us in the mourning. But not Green beer, that’s sacrilegious 😭
WHO THE FOOK IS THAT GUY ?
Yessss
almost at 1M good for you! Let's get you there.
I would recommend listening to The Cranberries song called zombies. The singer drowned in her bathtub with an alcohol level of over .3.
Love the video ready💙❤️❤️
Perfect; just in time for bed
Love the banchee story great upload
The scariest Irish thing I can think of is the Leprechaun.....that movie is creepy....
Our health system is scarier, especially now😭
@@sams3015 Lol
@@lilmomma6972Is that the one with Ice-T where the leprechaun is looking for his flute and gold? I'm Irish, and I actually found that movie hysterical. It's soooo fucking stupid lol.
@@roryslaine7896 I think so, lol
@@lilmomma6972You should checkout Primms Hood Cinema on TH-cam. He's an American who reviews hood movies, I watched his review on it and I was wheezing. How that movie ever got the green light I'll never know. I'd say it's intentionally made to be trash, but it was the 90s, so who knows...
goodnight!
Nice horror stories from my land
The last story made me laugh aloud, though I do feel bad for the person telling the story. Fox howls are terrifying. I heard them a few times when my friend and I were hiking in the pine barons
Yayyyy. Good evening everyone. High five Joel. Anyone got any tips for getting crumbs from underneath the laptop keys? Thank you in advance.
Air duster
@@zampai Thank you Sampai, tried that coz I "borrowed" a few cans from work. I think there's also tea ( I'm English so it's a strong brew with milk and sugar) in there. I should probably just chuck the laptop away and watch "how not to ruin a computer" videos
First flip it over , raise one side and tap, flip and repeat. Any more pit the attachment on the vacuum hose and let it do the work. Hope this helps
@@beautifulcrazey7713 Percussion maintenance, I like it. Thank you I'll try anything
