Yea! He's the best. Being Scared ND Southen Cannibal are great as well just arming you with more things to listen to in order to fight that dang insomnia.
The story where lil girl was invited to the sleepover then the other two mean girls try to smother her, WTH!!!! That is so sad and I loved her final comment, "I am now surrounded by a great group of friends and only two are cats". Kudos to her!!!
LOL I need a cat. I just want it to not kill my alllergies or get bigger than a kitten. But I hear those tiny cats die of heart failure. Kim Kardashian started the “cool cat lady” trend when she had that tiny tiny Siamese it was GORGEOUS. Poor thing wasn’t supposed to be bred so tiny, and I think they have since made it illrgal
Man, a lot of these are *true* horror stories. The terrible and disgusting things humans do that shouldn't be done or even be thought of, it shouldn't be real but it is. I feel bad for all the children who went through such trauma.
That abused girl with the grandad made me actually cry a little bit, she protected her friend, terrible, what some kids have to go through. I truly want to find those mosters and.....like .....skin them alive? Who is in?
I totally agree with the final sentiment in the last story, it is due diligence. These stories made me think of the few sleepovers I had as a kid that weren't so hot. My heart goes out to these individuals.
That first story really broke my heart. What a waste, to do that to what was probably a nice family over pot. As someone who grew up with the DARE program in the 90s I totally believe it with the ridiculous attitude the "War On Drugs" had towards pot. I'm glad (at least some) states are lightening up about it. There are definitely some abusive parents in here who should actually be arrested.
Nope. The *family* did that to their child. Funny, the story about Jenny's Mom made the affects of addition very clear and all the Jenny's Moms I knew were drug addicts -- the real picture is not a child's fable.
Loved the sleep over stories but the last few ones where heartbreaking as kids we face the abuses and both physically and mentally. Truely breaks you apart poor those kids 💔💔😓
With some of these stories, it comes appallingly clear how many adults there are in this word who have the intent to cause deliberate harm to young children. Makes me wonder what kind of world it is to bring children into.
Sad thing is that this stuff has been going on throughout history. We are only now finding out what these A-holes do in the shadows and behind closed doors. History is full of peds all over the world. Sickening.
FYI. Brown recluse spider bites are nearly pain free, most people don't even notice at the time... I think it's usually next day it hits you I got bit and had no idea. I still have the scar on my foot...
That story about that girls grandpa made me remember something horrible that happened at my bday slumber party when i was 11 or 12 my mom's boyfriend at the time had been SA me and that night he tried to do the same thing to all my friends that were at the sleepover. I cried the whole time. My friends all got scared and called their parents to come get them. I went through the abuse till i was 13 and my grandparents got custody of me. They were mad at my mom cuz i tried to tell her before hand what he had been doing to me but she called me a liar to my face and said damn it you little bitch why do you have to ruin everything for me huh why can't you just be happy for me. I'll never ever forget it. He used to buy me stuffed animals even said if i kept my mouth shut he'd buy me a puppy. I was puking all the time after it would happen. I still have nightmares about it and I'm 43. And the worst part is he got away with it. He was a truck driver and had photo albums he showed me of kids ages 4 to 16 they were shower photos and other gross kinds of photos I'd rather not talk about on here. I was scared to death of him for alot of reasons otherwise i would've went to the cops. I saw a guy in the comments of a yt video not that long ago with the same last name of this guy who did all this and it triggered me hard i had the worst panic attack ever. I don't think I'll ever forget what he did. I'm working with a therapist now and it's helping a little. But i pray for anyone who has to go through anything like that. I hate animal abusers child abusers guys who hurt woman those are 3 things i hate the most. Stay safe out there everyone. I'm a mother and i know if anyone ever hurt my child in any way i would fly off the handle. And no I'm not blaming this video or Let's Read for that story triggering me. I had no idea a story like that would be in this video. I just wanted to say that because i don't want someone reading this and saying well you didnt have to listen to this video cuz i know there are some people online that get upset easy and i don't want anyone thinking I'm blaming anyone for this memory being remembered due to the story. It happens and I'm fine it just made me remember that awful night is all. Nobody is to blame. And i hope the girl in that story is doing better now.. Please if you know anyone going through something like that say something don't be afraid and keep it in like i did. I blamed myself for a long time about what happened to me and i still do but me and my therapist are working on that. I love your content Joel keep up the good work.
@Heather Lynn metalgirl 4 life wow...that had to be a difficult thing to share, but I truly believe sharing, talking about it and/or writing about it etc. can begin to take its power away (tho it's only when/if you are in a place where you are ready & u should never feel as if u have to). I'm sure a stranger saying this on the internet doesn't amount to much; but I hope u & yr therapist are able to come to where u KNOW that not one iota of that guilt belongs to u it rests 💯% on that evil heartless prick's shoulders & I believe he WILL answer for every single vile assault he has ever perpetrated. As The Lord Himself said of those who harm a child, what they will face at the Judgement; "it would be better that a millstone would be tied around his neck and cast into the depths of the sea..." I'm glad that you are a mother & yr experiences, incomprehensible to they may be, no doubt have made u a better mom & because of the pain yr mom caused in her insecurities, you know how to better love your child(ren). Small conciliation perhaps idk...but anyways God bless you & yours, & you aught to be proud that u had the strength to share. Pain shared is pain lessened. 💛💙💜💚❤.
I feel sad for you I hope you are at good place right now. I m feeling great gratitude that I was born in third world country where we have strong family structures and loving parents that's why majority of our childhood was devoid of money but full of love from our parents and grand parents.
Story 10 - You almost got murdered! Idk who made you feel like talking about it was attention or pity seeking but omg! I'm so glad this was something you got to walk away from. That's terrifying! Thank goodness you're out living a happy life.
@@TheArchivistArchive yes it should be. If people actually did research on what they were using and how to use it beneficially than yes it would be fine. Heroin is a "plant" as well. Poppy plants. Do you not want poppy seed bagels. Do you not want to have a morphine drip when in completely agonizing pain? It's all about research. C'mon people!
Not gonna lie, this wasn't exactly what I was expecting... When I searched scary stories I was looking for things that would be easy to brush over and a fun for the moment kind of thing. But hearing about child molesters tends to be a lot more uncomfortable than scary. Its uncomfortable because you can't just sweep it under the rug like most other scary stories. Its disturbing to know just how close you can be to some one who is experiencing there own personal hell and not even know it. Over all this was a defiantly a different kind of scary, one I wish more people would take into account.
Yeah, I love listening to scary ghost stories and stuff, even when they are obviously fake, but whenever I search for scary stories I always end up on videos like this with of a bunch of horrific sexual assaults. I wish these videos were titled differently so I knew to avoid them.
I was dosing off to sleep when all of a sudden I heard "Sucked so hard" and "turned to me with a grin and said "dad's on his way over", my eyes shot open so fast that I actually got dizzy for a few seconds. I had to start the story over to listen for context because my mind immediately went south. 😂
You're one of my favorite narrators! I constantly have videos playing on my phone, and it is always you, and two or three other narrators. My husband constantly says "Oh never mind, you're listening to your voices again, aren't you?". So now my whole family calls you "my voices". Lol
I never got the chance to attend sleepovers as a kid. I didn't have that many friends before high school, not to mention the few sleepovers held at my house were spent with my parents child wrangling girls from lower income families long after I had gone to sleep. My favorite story was the one with the abusive mother; reminded me of my father, a politician who is better at caring for his city than he is for his family, as for all of his hypocrisy and love of scaring me into obedience, he is not physically abusive. Just because scars are invisible does not mean they fade.
@@br0dyj08n9 I disagree. I wish I remembered the name, but in the 70s or 80s a guy's daughter got groomed, molested, and killed. When the criminal responsible was on his way to trial, the father crossed his path and shot and killed him. The judge let him off. A parent would do anything for their child, even get revenge.
@@DPSFSU Hearing story after story of children being slapped around and raped may be thrilling to some people, but not to me. To each their own, I guess.
@@jennystout8600 it's not thrilling to me. It's horrific. Hence the title of the video. They're not my stories but they do give me that "keep your head on a swivel" feeling. Stay alert and be aware of your surroundings. Almost like a "how not to die" for Dummies book.
@@DPSFSU I don't mind these kinds of stories when they're about adults, or even teens who have some agency. But children are often powerless, and these stories have nothing to offer in terms of safety beyond "don't be born to abusive parents".
@@jennystout8600 not necessarily. These stories can tell people/kids to trust gut instincts, especially in unfamiliar or non ordinary day occurrences. Everyone telling their story had lived to tell the tale. Learn from others mistakes is another life lesson. Learning and then coping with your own mistakes is very personal too. Maybe, for some, this was their way to express that.
My close childhood friend had their father shoot himself in the bedroom while they were asleep. So we had them and their sibling at our place for a few nights. The man was a scary looking drunk, but man...I look back and feel sorry for all of them as he had once been nice. The house has been torn down by now, but the bullet hole was left till then.
🤔😝That makes no sense lol.. That crazy jumbled up message I left proves how I was trying to finish up an older LR story so I could get to these new ones lol 🤓
The fact that they broke up a family and traumatized children over a couple of peace Loving hippies growing pot should have been the only illegal thing in that scenario.
They were selling drugs out of their home and were clearly addicted to it themselves. All that with a child in the house. Weed might be mild, but drugs are drugs. You recieve what you deserve. You do not take or grow non-medical drugs when other people, especially children, are around. Still, your body, your choice. Just don't make that choice around others who do not consent. Tabacco smokers should especially heed this this. They will not though. At the end of the day, if you need non-medical drugs (or alcohol) to get through the day, you are pathetic. You may have a sympathetic reason and I would pity you and wish that you got help and a better situation, but you are still pathetic. Besides, some of us, on top of lung problems, hate the stench of the stuff. On saying that though, I think America and the UK's War on Drugs is a collosal waste of money and time. Drugs should be regulated, like medication. The seriousness with which the UK treats pot is ridiculous. They even put it down to a class C drug for a time and a LESS people took it.
@@MirrenTheDragonKnight Weed is legal in my country and its working out quite well. If you don't want to do drugs don't but what they did to that family should be criminal.
Fathers/grandfather's abusing their children in any way is disgusting. The story of the friend who lived with her grandparents is sad and makes my blood boil. The Justice System really failed her until she was sent to her aunt's. Then the story where OP was slapped by the friends mother. God, if my kids friends parents ever laid a finger on my child and/or screamed in their face I would stomp over to their house made them wish they were never born. No one slaps my kid or any kid, especially a grown-up. In my opinion abusive parents or partners deserve to rot in a prison cell for the rest of their lives.
Most stories were very captivating but sad. There was just one that kind of didn't feel like it even needed to be included - about those girls that chatted online and some older guys didn't get shocked that they were minor - don't get me wrong, that's creepy as hell but still nothing even happened, just stating that lots of strangers online are pervs, which, compared to the rest of the stories didn't really measure up. The girl that was only invited to a sleepover to be bullied and almost killed - that one hit very close to home. I was severely bullied in 6th grade, and in the summer a girl from the clique that tormented me called to apologize and invited me to the beach. I stupidly went and they almost drowned me as a "joke" - I couldn't swim well and they deliberately pushed me and held my head underwater, until some kind stranger noticed them and shouted at them to stop...
Some of these stories have confirmed my belief that many people should not be parents. I feel so sad thinking about my how many innocent kids went through twisted stuff like that
The story about the creepy grandfather made me think of a horrible memory from my childhood that also happened during a sleepover. I was 11 or 12, I was staying the night at my friends house, and we started talking about boys, sex, secrets, that kind of thing. She told me that the reason she didn’t live with her dad anymore was because he had done stuff to her, but that it was okay because she enjoyed it. I had no idea how to process that information at that age so I never told my parents or anyone else about it. In retrospect it’s just so sad, I really hope she’s doing okay these days.
The Scooby Doo episode she's referring to is episode #9, season #1 of the Scooby Doo/Dynomutt Hour titled 𝙈𝙖𝙢𝙗𝙖 𝙒𝙖𝙢𝙗𝙖 𝘼𝙣𝙙 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙑𝙤𝙤𝙙𝙤𝙤 𝙃𝙤𝙤𝙙𝙤𝙤. It first aired on 06 November 1976. If you havent figured it out by now, it's one of my favorite episodes!
The first story enrages me.. They really sent the whole police force to breakdown their door because they had a pot plant.. And then broke up a family for two years over it.
What selfish parents, it’s one thing to do recreational stuff but it’s a whole other thing to start growing illegal stuff and risk being sent to jail. Doesn’t matter if they did it for their own use or to sell it, in the end their daughter was the one that suffered the most for it.
Good to know my mom isn't the only one who did CCAP searches of friends parents. I'm just surprised that story 14 didn't do it BEFORE she dropped her son off.
Regarding story 4. I hated drunk ppl when I was younger. My mom would be acting "weird " I would call it. It was so embarrassing and made me mad. I just now remember this as this story was told
They needed that many cops to sneak up around their house and arrest them just for growing some weed? What those cops were doing was more criminal then growing a pot plant.sneaking up in a big group and traumatizing those kids. Story 8 is messed up too. That kid should be taken away from that wench
That second true story was quite literally a moronic child having a tantrum cause his mom wasn't with what i presume her ex husband. Didn't deserve all that stress and trouble his dad caused but also 1000% needed to happen to teach the kid about what his dad was truly like.
I have no idea how old you are, but if you are an adult, you definitely need a HUGE amount of therapy! Firstly, the kid has every right, and should have every right to talk to his Dad about who is in his home. The Mother should have had the sense to visit the other guy anywhere else! Obviously the Father needed a lot of therapy himself, but the kid should NEVER have to deal with adult issues. Any kid learns about who his parents are over their growing up, not being forced to participate in life and death situations ffs! Omg, you couldn’t be further from the truth!
@@jennifermcdonald5432 This is true for children who are not endangered by parents who are mentally unstable or criminals. If one of the parents is a criminal or mentally unstable (as in the story dictates) then what the kid did is not ok. Additionally, the father was not allowed in the home, it was the mother's house. A joint custody situation of the child. Any child that goes through this doesn't deserve it. However, the child did something that endangered his and his mother's life, because he was upset that his mom clearly was not going to get back with his dad. That is not smart. When you have experience being in situations with unhealthy people, who do not react in a healthy manner, telling them what their ex is doing is not the safe thing to do. If the father was a mentally healthy person, then yes, communicating and feeling safe to share that information is 100% ok.

Those kids who were abused yet still had the courage and heart to protect their friends...so sad.
And the fact it was a family tradition & the fact that nobody said a word about it , until after the abuser, died, or went away to prison.

Jesus. I thought these were going to be spooky stories about playing "light as a feather, stiff as a board", not story after story of abusive parents.
It's called "sleepover horror stories" not "sleepover scary fiction stories". Life can be scarier than fiction.
@@DPSFSU Hearing story after story of children being slapped around and raped may be thrilling to some people, but not to me. To each their own, I guess.
@@jennystout8600 it's not thrilling to me. It's horrific. Hence the title of the video. They're not my stories but they do give me that "keep your head on a swivel" feeling. Stay alert and be aware of your surroundings. Almost like a "how not to die" for Dummies book.
@@DPSFSU I don't mind these kinds of stories when they're about adults, or even teens who have some agency. But children are often powerless, and these stories have nothing to offer in terms of safety beyond "don't be born to abusive parents".
@@jennystout8600 not necessarily. These stories can tell people/kids to trust gut instincts, especially in unfamiliar or non ordinary day occurrences. Everyone telling their story had lived to tell the tale. Learn from others mistakes is another life lesson. Learning and then coping with your own mistakes is very personal too. Maybe, for some, this was their way to express that.
My close childhood friend had their father shoot himself in the bedroom while they were asleep. So we had them and their sibling at our place for a few nights. The man was a scary looking drunk, but man...I look back and feel sorry for all of them as he had once been nice. The house has been torn down by now, but the bullet hole was left till then.
thats really messed up. hope them and their sibling are OK now.
💗 I was just so happened was watching some older Let's Read videos when I get the notification he posted lol. 🤓
🤔😝That makes no sense lol.. That crazy jumbled up message I left proves how I was trying to finish up an older LR story so I could get to these new ones lol 🤓
Greetings from Poland my beloved bud
First video on my new phone! And the earliest I've ever been lol. It's spoopy time
What phone do you have
I can always count on you when I need a midday 6 hour nap
The fact that they broke up a family and traumatized children over a couple of peace Loving hippies growing pot should have been the only illegal thing in that scenario.
The aftermath is ALWAYS worse than what they went in for and for what?...POT 🙄
Exactly. Like, as shown in this video, those parents could've been doing way worse.
They were selling drugs out of their home and were clearly addicted to it themselves. All that with a child in the house.
Weed might be mild, but drugs are drugs. You recieve what you deserve.
You do not take or grow non-medical drugs when other people, especially children, are around.
Still, your body, your choice. Just don't make that choice around others who do not consent. Tabacco smokers should especially heed this this.
They will not though.
At the end of the day, if you need non-medical drugs (or alcohol) to get through the day, you are pathetic. You may have a sympathetic reason and I would pity you and wish that you got help and a better situation, but you are still pathetic.
Besides, some of us, on top of lung problems, hate the stench of the stuff.
On saying that though, I think America and the UK's War on Drugs is a collosal waste of money and time.
Drugs should be regulated, like medication.
The seriousness with which the UK treats pot is ridiculous. They even put it down to a class C drug for a time and a LESS people took it.
Deffo agree!💯💜💜💜🙏
@@MirrenTheDragonKnight Weed is legal in my country and its working out quite well. If you don't want to do drugs don't but what they did to that family should be criminal.
Fathers/grandfather's abusing their children in any way is disgusting. The story of the friend who lived with her grandparents is sad and makes my blood boil. The Justice System really failed her until she was sent to her aunt's. Then the story where OP was slapped by the friends mother. God, if my kids friends parents ever laid a finger on my child and/or screamed in their face I would stomp over to their house made them wish they were never born. No one slaps my kid or any kid, especially a grown-up. In my opinion abusive parents or partners deserve to rot in a prison cell for the rest of their lives.
Awesome!! Priceless excitement!! Thank you Let's Read ❤️
So a divorced mom can’t meet another man? Dad needs to take a chill pill

Hi there! ☺️
I’m ready I’m ready I’m ready 🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️
Love your voice and stories...I wasn't allowed to sleep over much, rather have friends over was my mother's choice.
I’ve been listening to your videos for months now! This is my favorite scary stories channel. You’re amazing thank you🖤🙏🏼
Most stories were very captivating but sad. There was just one that kind of didn't feel like it even needed to be included - about those girls that chatted online and some older guys didn't get shocked that they were minor - don't get me wrong, that's creepy as hell but still nothing even happened, just stating that lots of strangers online are pervs, which, compared to the rest of the stories didn't really measure up.
The girl that was only invited to a sleepover to be bullied and almost killed - that one hit very close to home.
I was severely bullied in 6th grade, and in the summer a girl from the clique that tormented me called to apologize and invited me to the beach. I stupidly went and they almost drowned me as a "joke" - I couldn't swim well and they deliberately pushed me and held my head underwater, until some kind stranger noticed them and shouted at them to stop...
Hello i havent got to hear these stories so i am listening now ❤
How does the ankle meet the knee?! Do they not have a tibia or fibula??!! How does that work??!!😂😂😂
I think that's the part that will keep me awake!!!
Broke bone
I feel asleep after listening to this😈😈😈
Love from the Irish pup in Belgium 🇧🇪 we’re away for a weekend 😍💋
Sweet dreams everyone
Studying late tonight! This came just in time, thank you Joel 😁
Oh the one about the dad passing in his sleep was a sad story!! 💔
They find it weird but I can sleep to these stories, with that relaxing voice! ... for 3 yrs now🤍
Second story guy is kind of a jerk also nosy as f damn leave his mom alone😭
im literally having a sleepover loll u be coming thru at the right times 😂
Who is obsessed too with this channel!?
Meee 🥰
@@heavensent7050 me to
Some of these stories have confirmed my belief that many people should not be parents. I feel so sad thinking about my how many innocent kids went through twisted stuff like that
Oh boy!!!
Wide awake? More like sound asleep! Love me some good spooky stories to fall asleep to
Love the stories.. it's the voice for me. Awesome job
Listening while straightening my hair
Nothing more refreshing than a new Let’s Read video
It’s amazing how little we know about what others are really going through 🤔
The story about the creepy grandfather made me think of a horrible memory from my childhood that also happened during a sleepover. I was 11 or 12, I was staying the night at my friends house, and we started talking about boys, sex, secrets, that kind of thing. She told me that the reason she didn’t live with her dad anymore was because he had done stuff to her, but that it was okay because she enjoyed it. I had no idea how to process that information at that age so I never told my parents or anyone else about it. In retrospect it’s just so sad, I really hope she’s doing okay these days.
Just in time for bedtime!! Thank you Joel!
The Scooby Doo episode she's referring to is episode #9, season #1 of the Scooby Doo/Dynomutt Hour titled 𝙈𝙖𝙢𝙗𝙖 𝙒𝙖𝙢𝙗𝙖 𝘼𝙣𝙙 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙑𝙤𝙤𝙙𝙤𝙤 𝙃𝙤𝙤𝙙𝙤𝙤. It first aired on 06 November 1976. If you havent figured it out by now, it's one of my favorite episodes!
Whenever possible, ALWAYS vet those that you entrust with your greatest treasures. It's good ol' common sense, folks.
Thank you for the stories 😊
Jokes on you, I'm going to sleep to this now.
First story boo!
Legend!
the second story actually happened to me too wow🧍🏽♀️
Joel with the absolute bangers again
My fave scary stories page literally watched every single video
LOVED this one!
The first story enrages me.. They really sent the whole police force to breakdown their door because they had a pot plant.. And then broke up a family for two years over it.
I should probably comment more instead of just lurking. Always enjoy your uploads.
It's not Eastern Standard Time yet, it's Eastern summer time aka daylight savings time. You'll be back on EST from November 7, 2021.
What selfish parents, it’s one thing to do recreational stuff but it’s a whole other thing to start growing illegal stuff and risk being sent to jail. Doesn’t matter if they did it for their own use or to sell it, in the end their daughter was the one that suffered the most for it.
oh im early!!! wow. love your videos!!
Story 11 sounds like it happened near Wylie tx. St. Paul is near there idk maybe
It's scary when "someone's" crawling you.
Good to know my mom isn't the only one who did CCAP searches of friends parents. I'm just surprised that story 14 didn't do it BEFORE she dropped her son off.
I love listening to these to fall asleep
Regarding story 4. I hated drunk ppl when I was younger. My mom would be acting "weird " I would call it. It was so embarrassing and made me mad. I just now remember this as this story was told
They needed that many cops to sneak up around their house and arrest them just for growing some weed? What those cops were doing was more criminal then growing a pot plant.sneaking up in a big group and traumatizing those kids.
Story 8 is messed up too. That kid should be taken away from that wench
Listened 😌
These were sad and disturbing :/. Scary in a different sense that I was not expecting.
Awesome! Thanks Let's Read! You made my weekend 50x better 😌
That second true story was quite literally a moronic child having a tantrum cause his mom wasn't with what i presume her ex husband. Didn't deserve all that stress and trouble his dad caused but also 1000% needed to happen to teach the kid about what his dad was truly like.
I have no idea how old you are, but if you are an adult, you definitely need a HUGE amount of therapy! Firstly, the kid has every right, and should have every right to talk to his Dad about who is in his home. The Mother should have had the sense to visit the other guy anywhere else! Obviously the Father needed a lot of therapy himself, but the kid should NEVER have to deal with adult issues. Any kid learns about who his parents are over their growing up, not being forced to participate in life and death situations ffs! Omg, you couldn’t be further from the truth!
@@jennifermcdonald5432 This is true for children who are not endangered by parents who are mentally unstable or criminals. If one of the parents is a criminal or mentally unstable (as in the story dictates) then what the kid did is not ok. Additionally, the father was not allowed in the home, it was the mother's house. A joint custody situation of the child. Any child that goes through this doesn't deserve it. However, the child did something that endangered his and his mother's life, because he was upset that his mom clearly was not going to get back with his dad. That is not smart. When you have experience being in situations with unhealthy people, who do not react in a healthy manner, telling them what their ex is doing is not the safe thing to do. If the father was a mentally healthy person, then yes, communicating and feeling safe to share that information is 100% ok.
