Nothing better than a nice cold evening, a snuggly blanket, a cuppa coffee, tea, or cocoa (even eggnog?), and the sounds of Joel's silky voice telling us about death and crime. *sigh* lol
Let's read The first story is about one of my mothers cousins. No one has any clue as to what happened to the girls.. such a sad situation. You told the story well, thank you!
I can completely understand the brother’s fixation and frustration on the matter. Our hearts lie with the tragedy of such events. The answers to their disappearance could help many. Don’t give up. 🫂
Jesus loves you. He died for our sins and resurrected on the third day. The pay of sin is death. We need to repent from our sins and accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior. Salvation is by faith in what he did for us in the cross forgiving all of our sins. He is coming soon. Follow him
Merry Christmas to YOU, yes you reading this. May you have many blessings before, during& after the Holidays. You are special! You are worth it! We ALL are!!!!!!💛💙💜💚 🌛🌛🌛🌛And Happy Winter Solstice 🌛🌛🌛🌛
I'm from Dayton. The killings happened the Christmas after I was born . We almost ended up living a few doors down from one of the culprits. We lived down the street from the sister shop run by the brothers of Sarah Abraham. I remember seeing the building alone on the block, abandoned for years before it was finally razed when the city started revitalizing the old Wright Brothers neighborhood
Did my ex get me stuck on listening to you before bed? Yes. Does it drive my now husband crazy and I don’t care because it makes me sleep? Also yes. At least I got something good from my ex 🤣🤪
Omg I got excited when he said Fort Worth lol. Then he mentioned Town Center Mall which is now called La Grande Plaza. My eye doctor is in that building and I go to Burlington Coat Factory there. That mall is creepy and have bad energy. It’s kinda gloomy.
Thanks so much, these videos help me relax, calm down, and even sleep on some nights. Been watching you since 7th grade, I’m a junior now. Thanks again for everything man. Edit: Also, I love these true crime stories. All the more scary because you know the events are real. Sometimes, the scariest things are hidden in plain sight. Walking with you, sharing the same air.
Love your true crime videos!! Want to say I can't believe someone would suggest that the guy tied himself up and then set himself ablaze!!?? Really WTF!
There's no way Steven's death could be a suicide and for the police to seemingly want to come to that conclusion before any others is very, very odd and signifies that they either don't want to or don't feel like solving the case. It's just unfathomable that they'd come across a body out in the middle of nowhere tied to a tree, the person had been burned to death and they go like "oh, looks like a suicide". They find out at the autopsy that he did die from smoke inhalation and burns (no overdose or anything as well), and find out that he had that injury that wouldn't have allowed him to even walk all the way out there on his own. The police's BS reaction and desire to throw out the case almost pisses me off as much as the actual crime!
I’m curious - these stories that aren’t submissions/Reddit posts, are you the one who writes them? If it is, you’re just as good at writing as you are at narrating ☺️ Merry Christmas Joel 🎄
Question (said like destiny's child)!! How do you end your own life, and bind, torture, and light yourself on fire all while being BOUND to a tree? 🤔 that made my head spin...
I was born in 1989 in dayton ohio and I remember growing up my mom told me about the Dayton ohio Christmas murders when I was a teen Dayton is not getting better at all. Prayers to the victims and their family's
I'd love it if you did more skinwalker or cryptid stories . I stumbled upon a 3year old video on darkness prevails you guys did together ❤ I need more!
If you haven’t already, do a piece on the Christmas Eve murders of the Goldmark family; in Seattle ... I think it happened in 86’. We used to go smoke weed in front of their house... creepy, but fun.
I love horror movies and thrillers and would love to buy Shudder for a year, but unfortunately there's no oportunity to do it in my country-Lithuania 😰
Heads Up: If you ever go to Fort Worth, TX don’t go shopping at Town Center Mall aka La Grande Plaza. It’s very sketchy and extremely run down. You’re probably going to be cased by more than one person there. Unless you don’t mind hooded shopping with a high chance of getting robbed, don’t go there. (Born and raised in Ft Worth and I stand by my statement) Go to the Grapevine Mills Mall in Grapevine if you want to go to a good mall in that area.
The last story about the drones was kinda funny to me. I imagine some mischievous Russian kid flying their drones around like, “Oh, you’re trying to take off? Sike! Ha ha, gotcha again!” 😂
We like to think there's conspiracies but sometimes there's just monsters that take girls/women and kill them and we never get answers. And there are always active serial killers, they just have newer technology to help them out.
It was not the woman blowing up her tires that Laura Taylor told marvelous to kill. It was the officer that pulled them over driving her stolen vehicle.
Exactlyyyy, nothing wrong with a wee bit of fiction as well, but the true ones will send a shiver down your spine. Even the thought, if we were born differently, it could’ve been us in one of these stories. Stay safe, and merry Christmas.

I HATE when the police say that kids probably ran away to parents who report kids missing. They still say that crap today
It’s because of probability

Stop! 😝 I don’t have any coffee, tea or cocoa. It’s not gonna be the same without any of those things. 😩😩
@@mls617983 right?! So jealous!
HA! Yessss....😋
Agreed.
Let's read
The first story is about one of my mothers cousins. No one has any clue as to what happened to the girls.. such a sad situation. You told the story well, thank you!
I’m so sorry for what happened to her and your family. Prayers your way!
I can completely understand the brother’s fixation and frustration on the matter. Our hearts lie with the tragedy of such events. The answers to their disappearance could help many. Don’t give up. 🫂
I'm so sorry that this happened. Wishing you peace and resolution.
Horror and true crime is becoming like 90% of my entertainment. I feel like a weirdo 😲
Same! 😁
Nothing wrong with it as long as it has no negative effects in your life and well being.👍
welcome to the club
I can’t help you there. I’m the same kind of weirdo.
I throw a Christmas movie or some Simpsons or Bob's burgers here and there. It takes the edge off.
Welcome to the club. Donuts and drinks are to the right...Oh don't forget to pick up your commemorative blanky and coffee cup by the door!!
Christmas scary stories are the best
I agree, I hv been looking forward to hearing this. 🤶🏼🎄❤️🎄🎅🏼
Yessss
Jesus loves you. He died for our sins and resurrected on the third day. The pay of sin is death. We need to repent from our sins and accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior. Salvation is by faith in what he did for us in the cross forgiving all of our sins. He is coming soon. Follow him
@@Moy-02 just talking about scary stories dude relax...
Some ho ho horror for my soul
I think the first case has something to do with sex trafficking
That’s what I’m afraid of.
Yeah, most likely. Especially with the high-profile people who were involved.
You don't say lol
Scary Christmas story: receiving a fruit cake as a gift. 🤢
My mom likes them.
depends where you got it some can be good but usaly only grandma can make good ones
😂😂
@@John-oo6ng true. The trick is to make it earlier in the year and continually feed it booze to keep it nice and moist!
what about socks
It certainly was a different time. People were so trusting and sadly, serial killers were very active during this time.
Fr, serial killing was such a 20th century thing.
No CCTV in homes, highways, streets and public buildings then … or DNA profiling.
Merry Christmas to YOU, yes you reading this. May you have many blessings before, during& after the Holidays. You are special! You are worth it! We ALL are!!!!!!💛💙💜💚

Yeah it really is tbh
What's creepy about it? Is it just a gut feeling?
Perfect timing, shovelling the snow and listening to this!!!
Lucky! I wish Texas would get snow but, NOPE! And it was like 70 degrees here today...one day it's cold then, the next it's warm🤨🤔
LUCKY, here in sweden, it was years since we’ve had snow... kinda sad😕
@@candycakes3886 dude that’s Alberta for ya too, it could be like summer on morning then BOOM winter at like 7 pm. 😩
@@bloppblipp3578 well atm in Alberta we have 3-4 feet of snoww🤣😭😭😫

Happy Holidays to all you spooky fuckers, and thank you, Joel, for shining some light onto a dark time of year for me ❤️
Funny! I just commented an hour ago that I wanted scary Christmas stories and you just posted this!! Nice!!
I’m just thankful that something like the first story didn’t happen to my family or anyone I know. Merry Christmas to all.
I’m curious - these stories that aren’t submissions/Reddit posts, are you the one who writes them? If it is, you’re just as good at writing as you are at narrating ☺️ Merry Christmas Joel 🎄
Merry Christmas 🎄🎅🌟
You too :)
Wonderful!!!🎄.Thank you Let's Read ❤️
Merry Christmas Joel! Much love & many blessings to you & yours.
That Gingerbread Man has finally lost the plot after appearing in Shrek!
Stay in school or you'll end up like him

Great video. Merry Christmas
Going to water garden while I have your voice in my excited ears
When you hear your hometown in the opening storyline... first response, bug out eyes, second.. turn up the volume.
Okay, who else giggled when the seen the ginger bread cookie, lol! Reminds me of that twisted ginger bread cookie character from Krampus (2018).
Of course! A disemboweled cookie!? Great!😄👍😁
Like the one on that Coffee-mate commercial.
I'd love it if you did more skinwalker or cryptid stories . I stumbled upon a 3year old video on darkness prevails you guys did together ❤ I need more!
Let's Read! Can you do a video on crime/heist books. Looking into Homecoming Heist is my two cents worth.
Have not watched for a while, happy I'm watching again!
If you haven’t already, do a piece on the Christmas Eve murders of the Goldmark family; in Seattle ... I think it happened in 86’. We used to go smoke weed in front of their house... creepy, but fun.
What a confession! 😂
I Love your background images for your stories.
I LOVE SHUDDER!
I love horror movies and thrillers and would love to buy Shudder for a year, but unfortunately there's no oportunity to do it in my country-Lithuania 😰
Coming through again as always
Merry Christmas to the squad and our faithful leader Joel is a beast😊😎
Love these keep em coming!!
Thanks ! Been waiting on this one
i love watching this channel
Me trying to get my word count up in an essay : but they were in able to come up with a conclusive conclusion
Heads Up: If you ever go to Fort Worth, TX don’t go shopping at Town Center Mall aka La Grande Plaza. It’s very sketchy and extremely run down. You’re probably going to be cased by more than one person there. Unless you don’t mind hooded shopping with a high chance of getting robbed, don’t go there.

Go to the Grapevine Mills Mall in Grapevine if you want to go to a good mall in that area.
The last story about the drones was kinda funny to me.
I imagine some mischievous Russian kid flying their drones around like, “Oh, you’re trying to take off? Sike! Ha ha, gotcha again!” 😂
TH-cam unsubscribed me from your channel! I'm glad I check regularly or I would have missed this
We like to think there's conspiracies but sometimes there's just monsters that take girls/women and kill them and we never get answers. And there are always active serial killers, they just have newer technology to help them out.
Goodnight everyone....
Do you ever wonder if the crazy people in these stories ever listen to these stories and think dam that was me lol
I love your channel so much keep it up. 🖤
Your intro is the best ever❤️
Have you seen the one where Antlers is walking thru the woods? That is AMAZING too!!
Merry Christmas! 🎄🌓
Love the video morty💜💜💜💜 merry Christmas 🎄🎁
People who die by setting themselves aflame don't use peppermint schnapps as their accellerant. The monks who performed self-immolation used gasoline.

It was not the woman blowing up her tires that Laura Taylor told marvelous to kill. It was the officer that pulled them over driving her stolen vehicle.
