Ty so much for all your hard work! I look forward to yours and Mr Revenants videos literally daily (I watch older LR episodes on days you don't post), I have clinical depression so some days it's the ONLY thing I look forward to and I appreciate it all the more then!
Never announce to an abusive partner that you are leaving! Just leave when you can, and IF you can pack a small bag ready to go when it’s safe! Announcing you are leaving to somone abusive will only make them even more abusive!
@@welsh.truth.dragon3914 yeah I definitely had to be ready to go. Absolutely get a bag and break their cycle of control regardless though! Controlling men suck!
YES!!!! I literally just stopped the video at that point so I could check the comment area to see if anyone ELSE thought that was goofy!! Makes NO sense!!
Right?? I guess they just made that decision in a state of panic, not thinking clearly or anything. I’m really glad they jumped into action that quickly to get her out of the apartment building though, if that was a real situation where she was in danger then that would be lifesaving
Indeed I’ve noticed that a lot, maybe even most, of other horror narrators stories, despite titled “true stories”, highly involve supernatural aspects, while Lets Read’s stories usually doesn’t unless the video title specifies it. I wonder what’s the reason?
@@qwertydog9795 Full disclosure: I don't have a top 5. Fullest disclosure: I'm not qualified to rank anything. BUT I am certain that the reference you made would be in my top 5 if I legitimately had one 🤣 I forgot about a lot of other epic tales he voiced for us
I have been watching Lets Read for 2 years now. He has seriously motivated me to make my own horror film content and to try to make the scariest short films on TH-cam. Your stories help me brainstorm my own ideas. Thank you so much Lets Read for giving me a purpose in life.
I've lived in several rathole motels. There are two types of people who live in places like that - they're either on their way back up, or circling the toilet bowl. Never, NEVER, become involved with the locals, in such a dysfunctional smurf village - as tempting as companionship can be, when you're in a bad place in your life.
Yes, I am doing much better. I live comfortably, in another country. That being said, one never stops seeing the world through "homeless eyes," even when they do manage to land in a better situation.
I find myself mid story stopping to do Google searches on these insane stories 😳!! Some of them I've never heard but thanks to Let's Read never a dull moment finding out about them
Last night was an awesome mother's day. I brought my wife a beautiful golden retriever for her mother's day gift. Today I get to listen to let's Read. I enjoy all of Joel's content.
@@prissyjones8892 all though I feel like the greatest mother's day gift I ever give my wife Stephanie was when I made her a beautiful mother for the first time 2 years ago. In 3 months Stephanie will give birth to our second child.
As much as I enjoy the live readings, they are so hard for me to follow. Thank you so much for posting a story only version of the lives Joel & my ADHD thanks you too! Love listening to your channel while I study!
@@Jetta_Jade oh it's definitely neat to be able to chat with a page creator, I love the commentary but I lose focus etc. So I'll try to follow it but end up leaving the chat and just waiting for the story portions to be released.
Yes I was almost trafficked in Baton Rouge but thankfully I was able to come up with a quick and excuse and escape before the guy was able to catch up with me. I still get chills when I think about it, I was so close to never being seen again.
@@jaebyrd4608 OMG! I totally believe it bc it seems like every day someone on my social media talking about how they were followed in the store, their car was tagged, being followed literally in their car. Just insanity out here!!
The story with the Flordia Water Bugs is actually pretty terrifying because if they are anything like the California toe biter their bite BURNS. I was bit by one when I was maybe four or five and I still remember the absolute pain in my big toe even after it let go. To imagine a swarm of them coming at me gives me chills.
Yay!just finished Blue Spookys video now it's time for Let's Read perfect timing as we are under a thunderstorm warning right now. So I'm sitting in the dark candles lit got my supper made. I'm ready to eat and listen to one of my fav narrators. Thank you Joel for all your hard work it's much appreciated. Hope you all have a great day/night wherever you are. And stay safe everyone.
That first story was hilarious, a random girl shows up to your house late at night saying she needs help, and then you two book a hotel together makes sense 😂
Thanks for the vid Lets Read!, the last story was really something else. Also, the fact that the guy doesn't want to be seen or treated as if he's a monster, well I feel the boat has long sailed on that one.
Story 6 actually has a reasonable explanation. My cousin is a contortionist (I guess some people would consider contortionists as creepy though lol) and when we were growing up she would often practice her contortion, and one day she ended up leaving dirty footprints on the ceiling whilst practicing lol It became like an inside joke within the entire family haha
Love the video ready ❤️❤️ some hotels give me the creeps but I always shuck it off because I always think it’s always in my heads ( mostly because of the stories I heard
you are what makes my every night Joel Thank you for being so consistent and having such a soothing voice I love your channel it's my absolute favorite ❤
It’s my turn to do Monday night dinner for my family. I have a few rules that includes not touching my radio or tv. They can only watch or listen to whatever I’m watching or listening to. Right now it’s you. 💗👍🏾👏🏾👌🏾✌🏾🙌🏾💜
Just an FYI a person who stops breathing from opiates goes into cardiac arrest. So common sense should tell you opiates can and do send people into cardiac arrest. Think before you speak.🙄
¡Yay! Acabo de terminar el video de Blue Spookys, ahora es el momento de Let's Read en el momento perfecto, ya que estamos bajo una advertencia de tormenta eléctrica en este momento. Así que estoy sentado en la oscuridad, velas encendidas, preparé mi cena. Estoy listo para comer y escuchar a uno de mis narradores favoritos. Gracias Joel por todo tu arduo trabajo, es muy apreciado. Espero que todos tengan un gran día/noche donde quiera que estén. Y manténganse a salvo todos.
I have one. Slept in this place and in the morning couldn't find my sock. I pulled the mattress away from the wall. The bottom of the mattress was saturated in old dry blood!!
Quick reference for Story 5. Open your hand, palm up, fingers together. Imagine something that stretches from the tip of your middle finger to the center of your palm, and as wide as three of your fingers. THAT'S the size of a Florida water bug. Sweet dreams.
Note on the water bugs from story 5; those little guys can actually be found in freshwater bodies all over the world. Some species get quite large and one is considered the largest in their order. Not "dangerous" but certainly painful. They tend to be attracted to electric lights at night, if you want to try and find some.
I put this on errthang I love., Narrator, your voice puts my mood and mind in an higher realm.. your voice helps balance my frequency and energy..I'm not sure if it's good to form yet another addition..but like addictions do..they catch hold of u... and b4 u know it ..your hooked..smh💞
Nice video. I just want you to know that you inspire me to start my own youtube channel narrating horror stories. Ive been a subscriber for awhile and will keep it that way for a longtime. Keep it up!
FYI. If your with an abuser either mental or physical abuser you start getting out by telling a trusted person, a teacher, a coworker, a friends mother -some one you trust. If you can you start putting money away or take 5-10.00 cash out with your groceries and hide that money away. Your going to need a minimum of 1K if you can. Start slowly hiding necessary clothes in a duffel bag or suitcase and hide that in a different location as the cash. Pawn any jewelry that won’t be missed if you can. Keep your phone fully charged always and buy an extra charger. Keep your car keys near you always. Get a plan in place. Know where you will go. Change locations 3-4 x the first day. Leave when things are in a quiet mode for a better get away. Leave when the person least expects it. Clergy can sometimes help you and hide you and get you away safely.
Love your channel Joel and your voice is incredible. Just wanted to point out that the rippers crew killer's name was Robin Gecht. His son is named David Gecht who also was later wanted in a 1999 murder. Thank for the quality content.
Omg l cracked up sooo badly at the headless ghost lady in the hotel hall that wasn't really headless, or a ghost!!! Is it wrong of me? I can't help it, how embarrassing that he gasped loudly!! 😂😂😂
Funny this upload should come up on auto play tonight. I freakin knew I'd heard the stories blue spooky just uploaded I believe last night. It's the first 3 from this video, same exact order. It's probably why this one popped up on auto play.

Wise words welsh
Indeed, no words truer. I wonder just how many have died because they did, likely countless.
Yeah it’s awful just today had to get away from mr slap and choke
@@queenofdestiny omg I’m so sorry to hear this . Are you safe now? X
@@welsh.truth.dragon3914 yeah I definitely had to be ready to go. Absolutely get a bag and break their cycle of control regardless though! Controlling men suck!
Story 1. Uh, no. If a victim comes to my door in the middle of the night, we'd be heading straight to the police station instead of a motel.
Found that also silly! Why drive away?
YES!!!! I literally just stopped the video at that point so I could check the comment area to see if anyone ELSE thought that was goofy!! Makes NO sense!!
Right?? I guess they just made that decision in a state of panic, not thinking clearly or anything. I’m really glad they jumped into action that quickly to get her out of the apartment building though, if that was a real situation where she was in danger then that would be lifesaving
Lol
First story is fake thats why
I try other narrators and always come back to this channel. Reason: original stories where things actually happen.
How do you know they're real?
@@tylertorch5914 original and real are two different things.. BUT lets read covers A LOT of true cases you can look up and actually read about
@@GankTown I agree with you, on this, they may not always be the most realistic or believable, but they’re certainly original and unique in each video
@@colbymarsh2074 His 2 hour vids are always repeats but atleast he does not have ghost stories in his "true" stories.
Indeed I’ve noticed that a lot, maybe even most, of other horror narrators stories, despite titled “true stories”, highly involve supernatural aspects, while Lets Read’s stories usually doesn’t unless the video title specifies it. I wonder what’s the reason?
Literally in a motel trying to sleep and I get this notification
Love u Joel 😄
“I wasn’t hiding from the threat, I was WITH the threat” put that in a movie and you got yourself a instant classic😁
So true. 😳🫢🫣
Amen
Are we not basically seeing that in the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard case?
@@magemagus36 lol true😆
What’s so profound about that?
Story #4 is easily among my top 5 favorites that Joel has ever read. Absolutely hysterical 🤣
what about the "there will be no more milk when Jesus comes back" one 😂
@@qwertydog9795 Full disclosure: I don't have a top 5.

So cool. Cursed Mario lego 💜👍🏽😊

Story one: it's not aiding and abetting if someone is threatening your life.

Never, NEVER, become involved with the locals, in such a dysfunctional smurf village - as tempting as companionship can be, when you're in a bad place in your life.
i hope your doing better now

People don’t realize Baton Rouge and surrounding small towns are a hot spot for human trafficking. It’s truly terrifying.
For sure. Especially Port Allen
@@hannahhartley9396 right! When he said “outside of BR” I immediately thought Port Allen 😩
It's that damn till bridge

31:00 just imagining a demon tweaker running along the ceiling in the middle of the night 😭
I can't believe that LR is so close to getting 1M subscribers, hopefully he'll get there before the year's over with.
I’m sure he will eventually. He’s too good not to. One of the best narrators on TH-cam by far.
1 hour left of work and NEEEDED something good to listen too, thank you let’s read 🔥🙌🏽

Why do you have to book a motel room to call the cops? 🤣 They need to come with better stories but the diction as always is immaculate chef's kiss ✨
Rite? The whole thing was 🐂 💩.
Dictation? Narration, maybe?
That first story was hilarious, a random girl shows up to your house late at night saying she needs help, and then you two book a hotel together makes sense 😂
Indeed. Fake?
Love your videos
I hope to see more glitch in the matrix horror stories again, mannn those were the best!
The glitch stories are my favorite, too.
FYI: Kinetic Symphony has a lot of great glitch videos.
Damnnnnn! These stories just reaffirm my distrust for motels. 😭
Did anyone else notice the repeated line after 39:39? I had to double back to make sure i heard it right. Lol, it happens to the best of us!
Let’s Read woo Hoo! Perfect timing 😀 thanks buddy!!!!
Thanks for the vid Lets Read!, the last story was really something else. Also, the fact that the guy doesn't want to be seen or treated as if he's a monster, well I feel the boat has long sailed on that one.
