Regarding the 3rd story. Never tell boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife that you are moving out if things aren't working out. You never know what they will do. I learn a lot from these stories!
Exactly! Once we were long distance, 9 hours away, I felt something off from her while meet up sometime to hang out stay her place for couple weeks once while, I was not happy and not see something out of her I was expected, she's too clingy, too needy and not independent, no job, no car. So when I left her place, till I arrived home, few days later on texting I told her this not going work, going to break up you and just be friend, she just lost her mind, disliked break up and rage on me plus posted on social media, and texted me demand to give my vehicle & some stuffs. I replied back, laughing, worked & earn for it before I met you. Not giving away to you for free, get a job to work for it. Good bye. (Blocked)
The story with the old lady - the end made me so mad. The husband really didn’t think anything of it when the doors were wide open???? And didn’t tell the police because “ it wouldn’t have mattered?” HOW WOULD IT NOT HAVE MATTERED???!? Ugh
Literally just helped my friend move into his new house today and I finally get to lay down to listen to horror stories and sleep and.... this is what Joel has for me. Damn good timing as always. In fact, it's starting to get a little suspicious...
that first guy was so obnoxious, they were literally a gang of robbers or murderers who didn’t want your money and intentionally set up something to catch an unsuspecting victim… not everyone needs redemption
Yeah. I get not wanting to be so pessimistic that you think everyone is an evil monster out to get you (that's no good for your mental health) but assuming that everyone is good deep down and can be won over with a little kindness will 100% be taken advantage of (and definitely does not bode well for one's physical health.) This may just be a coincidence but I've also noticed that the majority of people who think this way (that I have come across online or otherwise) tend to be young men. Older men have enough experience to know better and with the huge prevalence of sexual assault and harassment against women I don't see how anyone of the female sex could remained lulled into such a rosey world view after hitting their teens.
People like the one in the first story really piss me off when they don't press charges or do something to try and help get bad people off the streets. I guarantee you that the next person wasn't so lucky. They could've been saved from whatever those bad people had planned for his gullible naïve self.
Yeah I get pissed when people don't press charges. You're letting the offender get away with it so they'll just feel more empowered and think they can do it again without consequence. It's a dangerous game.
With story 1 "understanding and empathetic"...people need to be more honest when describing their gullible and naive attitudes. People with bad intentions prey on people like the narrator. We don't want to assume the worst in people but assuming everyone is harmless can get you killed. And no one with good intentions ever comes creeping out the woods in the dark conveniently after your tire blows out. He's hella lucky the cop came when he did. Thank God my partner isn't that ignorant. Story 4: That husband was terrible and just as naive as the narrator in the first story. Between lying to his wife and falling for that old woman's trick (if anyone comes to your house at night claiming to need help and then tells you NOT to call the police, it's a trap) he endangered the hell out of both of them.
Yeess! "No" is a complete sentence. Use basic common sense survival skills. Promptly notifying the authorities for the "needy person(s)" is the ONLY thing I would be doing if I had the slightest bad gut feeling. This was just so avoidable 😣
I came to the comment section to say this Lol Thanks ! You can wish world peace for everyone but be prepared. Have situational awareness have a plan! Honestly
I felt disgust when they said that. I'm empathetic, but I'm neither naïve nor a fool. There is a HUGE difference, and people like that are those who end up not pressing charges against a criminal, keeping their record clean so they can do the same or worse to someone else later, eventually getting a lighter sentence because they "have no prior record." People confuse naivete and foolishness with understanding and empathy the way they confuse caution with paranoia.
"I just hope these young folks find their way in life and don't have the chance to hurt anyone else." Yeah, dude. They wouldn't have the chance if you'd pursued the law on it. Thanks for leaving them out there for the next people. Hope it's not me.
@@camswar it doesn’t matter if that particular story isn’t true, there are TOO MANY true stories where folk don’t pursue things legally, they just allow people to walk away not suffering any consequences for their actions.
Story Four: I wonder if the old lady is the owner of the house, “Rent it out,” (for the money) and then have the new tenants set-up to move out without hesitation for the money.
Story 4. About a year ago my bf was working night shift and already left for work. I've heard a knock on my door. I looked out the window and saw an older (maybe in his 70s) guy, he shouted that he has got our parcel. At the time we only just moved in to the house so it wasn't unusual that we got lots of different parcels each day. I opened the door slightly, leaving my foot on it just in case. I told him to just leave it at the doorstep. Suddenly he was like 'oh silly me, it's not for you, I must have read the numbers wrong.' I was like 'Okay, no worries' while closing the door. He quickly picked up with 'Was it you who helped me out from the bushes the other day?' while maintaining this creepy smile. 'Erm, no it wasn't me' I said, while starting to feel uncomfortable. 'Are you sure?' he followed while looking at me. I just quickly said 'Yeah I'm sure, thanks bye' while closing the door and quickly locking it up. For the next few hours I was walking from one window to another everytime I've heard a noise outside. Nothing really happened, thank god but I was extremely creeped out by the whole situation. He might have just been a sweet older neighbour, but yeah it still doesn't sit well with me.
I won't lie. I usually only comment to break balls so to speak. I can't deny it though, Joel. You are very good at what you do......very very good. I'd even have to say that you're one of the best out there.💯💯👌👌
Sad but true especially lying, shamless ones like the OP's gf in story 3 Idgtf how messed up they are: nothing justifies hurting your so then accusing them of a crime to corrupt officials. Domestic violence against men exists too, dontcha know.
Some of the people were mentally ill or drug addicts yes the things that are done in the stories are wrong but have compassion homie you obviously have lived a life we’re you don’t understand what it’s actually like to go through it lmao
@@robinelainek Point taken. And I've lived long enough to be Really Hungry and know that there just isn't any more--but it Never occurred to me to HURT someone to remedy that. And after you've heard about the 8 millionth unnecessary crime, it just seems mealy-mouthed making excuses for them. Where is this Compassion for the Victim? Explain that NONSense to the next 8-year old rape victim--are you gonna tell her not to feel bad and maybe her rapist was just mentally ill or was just out of his mind on Meth? LMAO about that....!
My story is similar to #3, except roles were reversed and it almost destroyed my life. My ex-husband was extremely abusive. After 20 years, I finally decided to leave. I had never reported the abuse but it was a dirty secret that everyone knew. I have fibromyalgia and am on pain medication. My ex accused me of being an addict. I almost lost my job (I made substantially more than him), my kids and was forced to go to NA meetings until our divorce was over. Acquaintances believed him and rumors were spread across our small town. I lost everything and left with $15 and my kids. 4 years later, I am remarried and thriving despite a terrible ordeal. People like that have a special place in Hell 😢
@@zoilarodriguez1532 I am blessed beyond words but I also have to remember to look for the red flags with people. Some people do not get that chance...
We can't fix people no matter how much love we have.. or intentions.. You have your guard up with good reason. Remember anyone who cares for you will not be plotting against you. If it looks like a duck n walks like a duck run like hell....😊
Guyver. 5:15 A.M. Over here and we are listening to these good scary stories. Although some of them are not true. But they are fun to listen to. Have a great Morning.
: Zee heeppopotamoose, he is not born saying, "Cool beans. I am a heeppo." No way, Joesay. So he try to paint zee stripe on him to be like zee zebra, but he fool no one. Then he try to put zee spot on zee skin to be like the leopard, but everyboody know he is a heeppo. So, at certain point, he look himself in zee mirror and he just say, "Hey. I am a heeppopotamoose and zere is nothing I can do about it." As soon as he accepts zis, he live life happy. Happy as a heeppo. You understand zis,
The room in the second story, was for people with special needs. I'm guessing it was made around the 30's or 40's, and that was the place you put children with special needs, so that they were "out of site". That means that one past owner chained up a child.
@@LilySaintSin Oh yeah, same if you find one in the attic. Most of them have been sealed up or walled off, and most of the time you can still find the living conditions that they lived in. Sad to say, but most people back then, would treat them like wild animals, and say they had one less, or no children at all.
@@imdad2354 The books in the room might have been felt, or vinyl bound books. But if your looking for sources, plenty of times if you look in books about how mentally people were dealt with back in the days, you'll find plenty of times where doctors even suggested that the child be locked up.
I'm addicted to this especially the narrator! So many dumb ppl here in Oklahoma I just moved to cheapest rent. Don't ever get why it's so great. This is a gem! Thanks so much.
The bizarre ignorance of the first story's writer is insane to me! Four people come out the woods in the middle of nowhere after they sabotaged the van with a homemade nail strip. And this guy's all they must've had hard lives I don't even fault them they got dealt a bad hand at life!? What!? I wonder if he'd still be saying that dumb crap after they beat him to a pulp, Riped his wife, and stole all his belongings! Just saying
@@tashalynn29 I absolutely hate when people blame their past for their crimes. I had a God awful childhood and endured physical, emotional and sexual abuse for years but I'm not going out and committing crimes or hurting people. I'm responsible for my own actions. Trauma is no excuse, especially when you start inflicting that trauma on others.
Personal Responsibility has been very missing in society for awhile now! It's a shame!? Stop blaming everyone else for your shortcomings! Pick yourself up and make a life for yourself. My teenage and young adult years were crap! All My Fault! No one else's! It's just a matter of wanting to and hard work!
schizophrenia is so sad to experience 2nd hand. watching your loved one just go through that pain, thinking the world is against them and that they’re not even safe in their own home hurts.
Typical for the police to always just believe the woman without asking any questions or having any evidence . I'd definitely sue her and the police department. Glad he got away.
All I can imagine about that bus scene was the guy in Canada who beheaded a passenger.. I had a guy hold a bus hostage when I was on vacation in Jamaica last summer.. busses are scary!
I’m so interested in why the girl on the bus didn’t ask “WHO?!” That was the first thing that popped into my head …right along with ‘Oh great, got ourselves another nut’. But we’ll never know the name of the imaginary friend. I hope everyone has a safe week ahead. Please look out for yourselves. If you can’t legally carry ‘pow’ protection, get you some bear spray. We never know where we may need it! ☮️ *Thanks for another great video, Joel!✨
The story where the person stated he was held in lockup for a week with no charges. Unless that jurisdiction was corrupt, that is illegal. They can’t hold a person for a week and no filing of charges. Glad to see he sued and won.
@@angelfrancisco8256 The old guy was overly aggressive from the start then broke into their house with an axe...yeah nah...he was a danger to society. If he was that far gone mentally he should not have still be living at home.
I totally agree! And then he called his wife a harlot, which means prostitute. Its NO WAY you do that and get away with it. I don't care what kinda mental state you in. It doesn't give you a pass to be mean and nasty to people for no reason.
@@angelfrancisco8256 It may have been a mistake but the old guy was messed up. Who goes up to new people moving in, and simply judging them by their looks, yelling and threatening them? You're right though - don't mess with people who seem crazy. In this case, it sounds like the guy had mental issues..
Always aware of your surrounding, then you will be fine, sometime it happen bad. We never know. I been moved 3 different places far away from family. Nothing bad happened. I'm glad.
Ugh story #1 where did you people grow up that you’d actually offer predators $50? Your kindness is perceived as nothing but weakness by these savages.
In the state of N.C. you can look up property tax records. They are public and all you need is the address and it'll tell you who has owned the house. This will not include renters or anyone living for free(such as a daughter living there and her parents are the owners).
This is too eerie not to mention. I was listening to a completely different TH-camr as I pack to move and once it ended YT automatically started playing this video. 😮
"not a good kind of jam" that line somehow made my gf laugh so hard she was crying, now I'm crying g laughing cause I don't understand what made it so funny 😂😂😭😭😭💀
Literally just bursting with relief that I missed this one because I'm so in desperate need of it now!! I'm usually pissed but no the divine universe stepped in!!
Hi Joel! Not sure if you were aware but there is a channel called “Creepy Ghost Stories” that is reposting your videos. I played one and thought the intro sounded super familiar and then I heard your voice. They aren’t getting many views but still thought you should know!
Story 1: This person, don't be this person... Dear God! How obnoxiously doomb and sheltered you need to be to not suspect that it was a set up from the effing beginning? And how, HOW YOU DON'T PERSUE IT? I can get first world people are more empathetic, but this is a disaster.
In the first story if you’re on an empty road that ppl usually don’t drive down and u get a flat or more specifically a blow out and all of a sudden a bunch of people come out of nowhere it’s 1000% a set up and idc how bad the tire is idc if you’re on the rim get out of there immediately
@@theclownsystem9429 I did not say it could not happen...not at all as it certainly could. I said it sounded like BS based on the OP contradicting themselves and because if other things they said that made it sound like he was making it up.
Edit: forgot to say that this was inspired by Joel's accent for the old man in story #5. I could listen to those impressions all day long! 🤣 Was pretty da'gone happy to see yer notification thingamajiggy, why, I clicked right on that rascal and listened to the video while I's makin' some homemade rice pudding from scratch, just like my Gran used to make.

All I can imagine about that bus scene was the guy in Canada who beheaded a passenger.. I had a guy hold a bus hostage when I was on vacation in Jamaica last summer.. busses are scary!
I’m so interested in why the girl on the bus didn’t ask “WHO?!” That was the first thing that popped into my head …right along with ‘Oh great, got ourselves another nut’. But we’ll never know the name of the imaginary friend.
I hope everyone has a safe week ahead. Please look out for yourselves. If you can’t legally carry ‘pow’ protection, get you some
bear spray. We never know where we may need it! ☮️
*Thanks for another great video, Joel!✨
Joel's "lady chuckle" on story 1 🤣. Love it!
The story where the person stated he was held in lockup for a week with no charges. Unless that jurisdiction was corrupt, that is illegal. They can’t hold a person for a week and no filing of charges. Glad to see he sued and won.
The guy in story five reminds me of Claire Dunphy from modern family who takes Halloween one step further
Love Modern Family !!!
Perfect! Friday the 13th scary stories. Thank you for the upload Mr. Read.
The story with the guy putting fake blood on his window wasn't in the wrong imo. Like bro it's not your fault that old man was wilding 😭
The fake blood guy is a literal sociopath lmfao, old man out her protecting his neighbourhood
Nah he was definitely in the wrong messing with a demented old man for a joke was just stupid there was so many other ways it could have gone wrong
@@angelfrancisco8256 The old guy was overly aggressive from the start then broke into their house with an axe...yeah nah...he was a danger to society. If he was that far gone mentally he should not have still be living at home.
I totally agree! And then he called his wife a harlot, which means prostitute. Its NO WAY you do that and get away with it. I don't care what kinda mental state you in. It doesn't give you a pass to be mean and nasty to people for no reason.
@@angelfrancisco8256 It may have been a mistake but the old guy was messed up. Who goes up to new people moving in, and simply judging them by their looks, yelling and threatening them? You're right though - don't mess with people who seem crazy. In this case, it sounds like the guy had mental issues..
Listening to you from the middleast! Bahrain 🇧🇭 I've been your fan since 2018 I think, keep up the awesome job, you never disappoint us! Love you!
Me listening to this as I move away for Grad school tomorrow… Love the content!!
Congrats on getting your Graduate degree!! 🧑🎓👏 Wishing you safe travels as well!
Not feeling well been home with my sick young kids and looked back to Mr.Joel Smooth.. 6yrs ago. Relaxing now to the ne upload
🙏🙏
Both excited and a little anxious for this one, since I’m in the process of moving right now.
Thank you for uploading! I really enjoyed these stories because I just moved into my new house a few months ago
I fold laundry and wash dishes/ general housework listening to these stories. Actually look forward to housework now 🤣🤣🤣
I really love the stories on here and your voice is definitely soothing to relax & listen before bed tysm!
Not me listening to this whilst I’m packing to move 😭😅
It's fascinating to see the diversity of people commenting :) from scientists to students like me, these stories get lots of us through the day
bless this fantastic channel for the content it uploads.
I am so glad this showed up in my feed right before I am moving 😳
Always aware of your surrounding, then you will be fine, sometime it happen bad. We never know. I been moved 3 different places far away from family. Nothing bad happened. I'm glad.
Night just took a bad turn. Nothing serious, just need an escape. Thanks for being here ❤
Ugh story #1 where did you people grow up that you’d actually offer predators $50? Your kindness is perceived as nothing but weakness by these savages.
You've done it again with another awesome video keep up the great work Let's read
Aww. Time to settle down for the night. Thank you
In the state of N.C. you can look up property tax records. They are public and all you need is the address and it'll tell you who has owned the house. This will not include renters or anyone living for free(such as a daughter living there and her parents are the owners).
Perfect timing again Let's Read!
I literally just left his page when I got the notifacation
This is too eerie not to mention. I was listening to a completely different TH-camr as I pack to move and once it ended YT automatically started playing this video. 😮
Listening to your videos are my opening & closing rituals at work 🙏🏼
One of my favourite narrator I love when he does that voices as well😂
Perfect voice for these stories 👌
My favorite scary story narrator 😊
"not a good kind of jam" that line somehow made my gf laugh so hard she was crying, now I'm crying g laughing cause I don't understand what made it so funny 😂😂😭😭😭💀
Perfect! I just came back from an internship that might have me moving.
Amazing timing again
❤❤❤🔥
"YOU HARLET"
"DEATH IS NO JOKE"
drops dead 💀🤣 that old man was a comedian
Joel hands down best narrator on the TH-cams!! Thanks boss
Sick and miserable but catching up on your stories certainly helps
We meet again! I cannot wait to dive right In to this video ❤
How creepy stories!! I can't stop listening bro
Glad everyone is ok.... really scary stories.....
The scream you did in story 6 had me rollin 🤣 I love your voice
The strangers in the first story harassing the poor couple In their truck I can't stand people like this always just looking for trouble! 🙄😤
Yup, they should have mace in case to spray out of gap door window.
I love all the stories and narrator let's read is good for soothing the soul
Nothin feels good smokin a blunt and listening to Let’s read at night Watching the stars
love the videos!
Literally just bursting with relief that I missed this one because I'm so in desperate need of it now!! I'm usually pissed but no the divine universe stepped in!!
I cackled like a lunatic @Joel's old lady impression
Story 5 dude literally caused the entire issues. Gotta act like a 2 year old and push someone over the edge, and put his wife’s life at risk
Right! And ppl are in the comments congratulating him. Smh
Bro, I’m cleaning my room while listening to stuff and got startled when I heard where I lived 😭
Hi Joel! Not sure if you were aware but there is a channel called “Creepy Ghost Stories” that is reposting your videos. I played one and thought the intro sounded super familiar and then I heard your voice. They aren’t getting many views but still thought you should know!
Another banger. Thanks for the anxiety relief Joel. ❤
Thank you for your wonderful stories ❤️
1st story, flat tire or not, I'm flooring it, outta there!!
Story 1: This person, don't be this person... Dear God! How obnoxiously doomb and sheltered you need to be to not suspect that it was a set up from the effing beginning? And how, HOW YOU DON'T PERSUE IT? I can get first world people are more empathetic, but this is a disaster.
.44 through the truck door
Awesome stories Joel!!! Tyfs God bless you
In the first story if you’re on an empty road that ppl usually don’t drive down and u get a flat or more specifically a blow out and all of a sudden a bunch of people come out of nowhere it’s 1000% a set up and idc how bad the tire is idc if you’re on the rim get out of there immediately
Yep💙 Friday the 13th story time.
Oh DANG I hadn’t realized that’s today lol good timing 👍
Man, I'm left on a cliffhanger with story number six! Who was the guy was talking about? These are the answers I need!
Joel you are the best. I tell everyone I can about your channel.
That time you see a UAP in the thumbnail and click on it, and…oh, well. Love the different voices for the characters though 👵🏼❤
Uhm did they give that guy a heart attack in story 5???? That story was super insane!!!
Yeah...I call BS regarding that story.
@@PrimateProductions It could happen. If your heart isn't in great shape then stress could easily trigger a heart attack.
@@theclownsystem9429 I did not say it could not happen...not at all as it certainly could. I said it sounded like BS based on the OP contradicting themselves and because if other things they said that made it sound like he was making it up.
The home or apartments you move into. Do'nt forget to Change the locks!!
Bobcat pride 💜 Glad you're safe!
The OP in story one is one naive dude!
Probably a lib eral .
Joel you have a smooth nice voice you are my favorite narrator
Story 3 scared me the most tbh.
Fantastic narration and stories as ALWAYS! Your voice is just butta! Butta I tell ya! 💕😁
Yes it is!! It's more memorable to me than anyone else's at this point! Very calming... although the stories are really creepy. 😳Love it! 🥱👏
Edit: forgot to say that this was inspired by Joel's accent for the old man in story #5. I could listen to those impressions all day long! 🤣
Was pretty da'gone happy to see yer notification thingamajiggy, why, I clicked right on that rascal and listened to the video while I's makin' some homemade rice pudding from scratch, just like my Gran used to make. Yer videos shore are the cat's meow - why I ain't never had such a good time on Friday the 13th! I wish you was here Joel, we could trio the light fantastic, we shore could. Just dance the night away sippin' on Grandad's whiskey. Yee- haw! 🤠
