I used to binge this channel. Amazing narrator and beautiful art. And one day he took down a bunch of his videos and seemed dejected. But he kept getting better and better. And 1M subs! A truly incredible channel!
I remember watching an older video and Joel explaining how he had to take down a huge amount of videos because he hadn't gotten full approval to use some of the stories he was narrating. He said his subscriber count was increasing by hundreds of thousands a week, if not a day, but after that mishap the algorithm decreased and his channel took a huge hit in subscribers. I've been listening to him narrate for a few years now and this is my favorite channel. I'm happy to see him finally reach over 1 mil. I can't imagine how big this channel would be had he not had to take down those videos early on.
For story 3. I’m glad the woman was able to get compensated and not go to prison. Abuse of any kind is messed up. I hope she is doing well and not have to worry about sleeping ever again.
Thank you for always staying consistent and continuously uploading videos! I'm sure it must be hard to keep up with everything and for so many years too. It's incredibly admirable and I'm grateful for your vids. Been listening for like 3+ years now. Love ya fam!
Thank you for helping so many to sleep during all these years 😅. In all seriousness, you're a legend and you have played a major part in me going into horror story narrations!
I find this quite weird tbh...when I was a kid,I couldn't even begin to imagine that later on in life, I would be listening to horror stories to get to sleep fast😂
Let’s Read, I’ve listened to a lot of your documentary/ crime stories and they are amazing! My favorite is the true crime from history. More of those please !!!! (Subbed btw)
I love all of your stories but this is my first time listening to law enforcement stories and they are absolutely wonderful. I believe I found my new love and your library!! Thank you for helping me day and night!! 🎉❤😊

Thank you Joel your voice always helps me go off to sleep you & mr nightmare have the best voices for making scary stories, I hope you had a wonderful birthday 😊💙♥️
I was thinking dark web drug trafficking. The shipping company is very suspect to me in that regard cause ik a lot of "defunct" companies are often used to front drug shipments
7 years with joel. I have encouraged several readers to listen and they want more. Much love Lord Joel King of the buttersock cult. Sorry about my recent absence these past couple weeks had a family member pass. Your narrative stories is what gets me bye joel
I hate my job and taking truck loads of calls from pyschos and staring at a screen for 9 hours. But I love closing my eyes listening to Let's Read on my break, in my car and in my bed 😴
The 4D chess cat isn’t thinking about his situation clearly. the effbeeeye isn’t just one step ahead, they’re often times the originators of the organizations they’re trying to now stop.
I am a volunteer firefighter in Jefferson County Alabama The Jefferson county sheriffs are some of the best of the best Honor your law enforcement, God uses them to defend and protect
The third story, “not for me to say” I knew before that she had clearly killed him but to have done it then say that. Bravo. Also if a man beats a woman repeatedly and she kills him over it, she shouldn’t get a murder charge?
If someone shoots themself (or gets shot) in a vehicle, the ins. co. doesn't have someone go through the contents, then to be cleaned. The vehicle is deemed a bio hazard and it is destroyed.
Aw sheet 1 mil? 🎉🎉🎉 I quit watching for a bit, I felt so guilty (and depressed) that my decade long relationship ended and with it my paid channel status (from when it was 1st offered, all income gone btw not just this) and with all the things physical and mental that occurred I never even got to catch up on the membership only content 😢. I'm finally starting to heal and I'm still not bingeing the content here again just yet but I'm dipping my toes back in and I'm so happy for Joel to be getting the recognition he's deserved for a long long time ❤
No, you were listening to a horror story so that’s the only expected outcome. Now imagining talking to a random stranger who’s has a body in his basement, can you really tell that person killed somebody?
The 1st story was fucked up. The 2nd story is crazy! That mom better not pursue it herself. Story 3 I try not to be the "eye for an eye" type of person but, she did what she had to do. 4th story People will record anything nowadays. If someone's drowning they'll just record. 5th story was a crazy turn. Didn't expect Rip to be the CI.
I really enjoy the police stories man. It's really hard to find any new police stories I guess because there's so few channels covering them or they are just not as widely popular as the other topics but I hope you do many more of the police stories, it really gets the public more aware to what police officers have to go through when people are constantly fed lies about the police and they already have a stressful and heartbreaking job, on top of that their jobs are misunderstood. I am very passionate about police and the job they have to do and how misunderstood they are as well as the public being so misinformed and misled with information from the media that always paints police in a bad light when the overwhelming vast majority of police are good people who want to do good for their community, anyway I'm rambling. Hope to see more police stories for sure!
Story 2 is a HUGE CLIFFHANGER! How do you just ho about your day after hearing that?! I GOTS to know. But i dont wanna pay the price he did! But we need closure!
okay, story one, i'm usually the one to point out the true crime aspect to things before anyone else, but even i needed it spelled out. i only got to where he said "why would someone empty out their fridge" though before i understood what he was getting at
The liittle birds made me think i had eye floaters pre migraine & I'd dosed myself with Tylenol & Dayquil then realized they were supposed to be birds i guess. Lol.😅
Hey I have a video idea, scary truck driver stories. I feel like there’s not enough if these types of videos and I’m sure truckers run into and see a lot of f’ed up things!
In story 5 the moment he brought up rip and another undercover CI I knew it would be rip cuz Yk how suspicious it’ll be to have the pic of the guy you interrogated mom and next she moves to a secure location. That alone would’ve ratted him out but thankfully rip was undercover too

I still miss his narration of 1999.

lol you simped for a heart and didn't get one xD LMFAO!!!
He's exactly right people are sick and awful for taking pictures of that man's last moments. Very Disgusting 🤢
That's today's generation. I remember teens filming a dude drowning and they was mocking his cries.
@@PraiseThaDon That's Awful!!
@@PraiseThaDonwe’d all rather be in the background than try and help people. Glad to know I’m not like that👌🏽
It's sick and very sad
For story 3. I’m glad the woman was able to get compensated and not go to prison. Abuse of any kind is messed up. I hope she is doing well and not have to worry about sleeping ever again.
Not entirely buying whole "battered wife" excuse
@@kenrose2523excuse? The officer said she was fortunate to have survived the relationship. Were we not listening to the same thing?
@@kenrose2523men ☕️

Why do ya think she was holding a bag of frozen peas to her eye? Because she liked how they smell as they thaw?

Man..the 2nd story is heartbreaking. The poor kid was probably either trafficked or coerced into doing things he was ashamed of online.
I’m personally thinking he was looking at kids or something, but you could be right too.

There's gonna be more scary story narrators than there are scary stories
I find this quite weird tbh...when I was a kid,I couldn't even begin to imagine that later on in life, I would be listening to horror stories to get to sleep fast😂
Your art of narrating gets better and better. Thank you!
What a callous police officer to use a stun gun on a guy while his body is going through shock of bleeding out. Evil.
Fine!,h
@@lnaphLol, as opposed to what exactly?
The first story I was like…”what could the ending possibly be” and then as soon as they saw the kitchen and it was silent I was like …”OMG he didn’t…”
Thx for your work Joel, i always listen to your stories while cooking and washing the dishes. It gives the rather calm activity some spice 😊
Let’s Read, I’ve listened to a lot of your documentary/ crime stories and they are amazing! My favorite is the true crime from history. More of those please !!!! (Subbed btw)
I love all of your stories but this is my first time listening to law enforcement stories and they are absolutely wonderful. I believe I found my new love and your library!! Thank you for helping me day and night!! 🎉❤😊
You'll probably like Private Investigator stories as well.
Really good and interesting stories. Especially the one about the biker.

My favorite type and my favorite story narrator.
What a terrifying set of stories! Thank you, Joel!!!
Let's Read is the best narrator to ever live and he's the GOAT.
Nah he's the GNAT 🤣
What does a goat mean?

Your work rate is EPIC THANK YOU !!!
Anytime the story isn’t 1st pov you know it’s gonna be rough
Ya gotta love how the homie Joel delivers the last few words of each story just a lil bit slower...
The “all in all” segment we pay close attention to
These stores have just as much depth as Joel's beautiful buttery voice
Joel, thank you for your stories! I have been sick all night and day, and binge listening to you is very relaxing.
Love your stories keep up the good work
Thank you Joel your voice always helps me go off to sleep you & mr nightmare have the best voices for making scary stories, I hope you had a wonderful birthday 😊💙♥️
The best voice out of all of them. Wish he could take all the others stories and read them too ❤
You’re definitely one of my fave notifications and I always look forward to your uploads!
Never fail to disappoint that’s for sure. Thanks Joel !
Saw a documentary about Gerard John Schaefer. That is some sick stuff! Probably the most evil serial killer ever.
Story 3 she seemed so peaceful cause the person causing her hell on earth was painted all over the bathroom wall. I’m sure she was at peace ☮️
why do i get the horrific feeling that story 2 is either child p**n or human trafficking
I'm so pissed! I need to know what happened?! Joel, how DARE you leave that kind of a cliffhanger😂
most likely extortion, debt, or gambling, that would explain the accent and the computer burning
The first one you mentioned probably followed by blackmail/extortion. Poor kid fucked around on the darkweb and found out. :(
I was thinking dark web drug trafficking. The shipping company is very suspect to me in that regard cause ik a lot of "defunct" companies are often used to front drug shipments
Nah they would delete it you'd think, like that guy above said, extortion. It's a lot more common in the UK and Europe than USA.
Super heavy stories read by the best narrator out there!🤘🏻
These are the BEST stories, besides Skinwalker and Trucker stories. Law enforcement have the most disturbing stories 😳
Yup they're the ones who deal with all the crazies
Really, really enjoyed that!!!! I do love Let's Read❤

Pretty much every day of being a cop is a horror story lol

LETS GOOOOO IVE BEEN ASKING FOR THESE THANK YOU JOEL🙏🏻
No bs lets reads voice is number one in the narration community.

The Jefferson county sheriffs are some of the best of the best
Honor your law enforcement, God uses them to defend and protect
48:51 why unfortunately? Shouldn't it be fortunately the sheriff found them before Jared did? Or did I miss something?🤔
The third story, “not for me to say” I knew before that she had clearly killed him but to have done it then say that. Bravo. Also if a man beats a woman repeatedly and she kills him over it, she shouldn’t get a murder charge?
That last one was a trip.
51:19
“It wasn’t just a car, it was a butchers wagon.” 🥶
I have to say....I'm addicted...a nice break from music in my earbuds at work....

Better, and better, and better!
Thanks Joel you’re been my favourite streamer for over 10 years now and counting ❤🇦🇺
Just in time to start door dashing. Thank you Joel
Great episode on these tragic stories! The last one I😊 never heard of. Thats crazy an excop
Congrats on hitting 1 m subscribers❤❤ well deserved mate🎉
Thanks for the stories, i love them ♥♥

On story 3 I predicted from a few minutes in that she killed him lol couldn't have been more obvious
No, you were listening to a horror story so that’s the only expected outcome. Now imagining talking to a random stranger who’s has a body in his basement, can you really tell that person killed somebody?
Love your vids dude
Thank you! Needed this
This was particularly good. Thank you for the video
Thanks for the super great stories!!!! 😊
Best voice ever.
i love it when inmates carry out unresolved justice
Thanks for the stories
My wife and I have been here since like 10k... Congratulations brochacho hope you soar beyond 2mil
The 1st story was fucked up.

Story 6 is kinda crazy because I am from Martin county and never knew about this that’s for sharing
I really like these stories. 😁👍
I agree the very best voices out there, my fav..
This channel's like the internet's campfire
midnight society 🔥
Let's read,
The best in stories. It's what got me into good real life stories
Thanks for the vid Joel, have a good night.
*Time to revisit this favourite channel!*
He sounds like Arthur Dark that does Hollywood Graveyard…anyway thanks for the stories I listen while driving a semi 🚛
I'm so glad you use your own voice and not the AI bulls#$t so many others use. Stay safe out there and thanks!
You see a grown ass man hanging out with your 15 year old daughter and you just let it happen?! Absolutely not that’s just plain stupid
Love the photo!
Due to budgetary concerns I had to cancel my Chilling subscription. I’m so grateful you’re still posting here.
good stories

First one here, horror lovers!!! 💀🔪😈
I really thought I was going to be first 😅
Would love to learn more about the first story. Definitely morbid but how did they not trace where he got the bike?
Your thumbnails are always on point.
The liittle birds made me think i had eye floaters pre migraine & I'd dosed myself with Tylenol & Dayquil then realized they were supposed to be birds i guess. Lol.😅
Of course on a domestic violence incident they automatically blame the man
This was a brilliant video
Bro your consistency is unmatched. You the GOAT ❤❤
Thank you for reading to us love it❤
