I was really hoping that David Johnston's picture would end up on here. I am a current geology student and we've talked about him in several classes. There is a lot of respect for him even to this day. A lot of what he did prior to the eruption helped minimize the deaths by warning people to stay off of the mountain as much as possible. One thing people don't really realize is that geology can actually be a rather dangerous line of work. Rock is unyielding and the earth doesn't care about the fleetingness of a singular human life.
Regarding the Tiffany Robinson picture, I think it’s important to note that her adoptive parents did not know the full extent of Tiffany’s origins. They were duped just like everybody else. As an adult, Tiffany has made it very clear that her adoptive parents are good people and great parents; she loves and considers them “real” parents. That said, Tiffany does not forgive her uncle for taking her mother away from her. However, she does find solace knowing that her mother was murdered; she did not complete suicide, leaving her infant daughter alone in the world.
As an adoptee myself, I know that my parents adoption of me was 100% legit. I cannot imagine what that poor woman went through. I believe that her uncle truly wanted to make his brother and SIL happy, but apparently he was also a complete psychopath. I feel so sad for Tiffany; knowing that her mother didn't just commit suicide and abandon her must have been cold comfort to her. 😔💔
Of course! I don’t mean to sound like I am correcting Let’s Read. I just recently read a book about this case and I thought it was important information to include. Btw, wehave the same name…and spelled the same way!
Disturban is a good channel too. He really covers the sickest of the sick (disembowelment, cannibalism, etc) that many Tubers shy away from because monetization.
I've heard of the Tyler Hadley story so many times, but this is the only channel that went deeper into his history and the events leading up to the incident. This is why I love LR.
There’s actually a show called Killer Kids that did a really in depth episode about him that goes even deeper into his backstory and has his best friend being interviewed on it. I highly recommend you check it out. The episode itself is simply titled “Why Not?”
The party that Tyler Hadly threw, I was invited to. I live about 45 mins from port saint lucie and have never forgot that incident to this day, and how it shook me to the core when I found out eveyrthing a couple weeks later.
Wow! I’m up in north Florida so we’re neighbors. This story has always stayed with me. I can only imagine how much it must continue to disturb u. How could anyone ever do this to their own parents? 🥺. I know Tyler is filled with horrible regret and lifelong sadness over the choices he made that night. Such a sad, senseless tragedy. So glad u missed out on that party. 💔
Incidentally, Brady and Hindley were caught because they tried to induct Hindley's brother-in-law into their "family". The brother-in-law agreed to help them dispose of their latest victim, went home, had a cup of tea that he failed to keep down, then told Hindley's sister what happened. He went to the police the following morning (with a screwdriver in case Brady tried to intercept him) and told them what had happened.
Stephanie Harlowe covered the horrific crimes these 2 committed… for anyone who is interested in true crime, she does a really good job covering every little detail. it’s definitely one of those types of cases that turns your stomach. They were both truly evil.
It's been a rough week. My mom has been in the hospital, I haven't been allowed to see her due to covid restrictions. I haven't slept in my own bed, I didn't feel like listening to music the first few days. I've been very down this week but thank God, my mom comes home today. I'm so happy to get back to normalcy, taking care of her, sleeping in my own bed, drinking tea before bed, dancing to my music, reading, listening to LetsRead. I don't think things will ever be quite the same after this week. But I need to be happy, and I need to be strong for her, and one source of happiness is this channel. So thank you, Joel. For this channel and for all my favorite stalker and true crime stories. I thank God that he created you and your beautiful voice, please never stop talking. I am so very grateful for the gifts God gives us. I can't wait to listen to this tonight and get a good night's sleep. 💕
My heart goes out to you. Treasure every day, I know it's hard but it's part of life. Trials and tribulations. Keep smiling my friend. I lost my Mum just over a year ago so I wish you all the luck in the world.
@@thehawk7064 Hi ya.It's Carlito Alter ego / Carla. Had to borrow my fellas phone. Big SQUAWK. (Av I spelt if right? Miss the livestreams ey?)Had to edit. Shame on me, I didn't know how to spell it. After all this time.😉
My brother Josh knew Zach and Addie. So did many of my friends. Your story is mostly right, he hadn't intended to eat her but dispose of the body and that their drug use in line with their alcoholism (his PTSD from military and hers from abuse she had from a past BF I am sure didn't help things either) were a recipe for disaster. She tried to kick him out of the flat many of times and they both were on the lease. NOONE saw this coming, and it still haunts those that lived in the Quarter (what we call the French Quarter) to this day! Cops still get phone calls about people seeing a man jump to his death - I know because I am one that made one of those calls 8 yrs ago. Thank you for not sensationalizing their story and respecting when telling it.
David Johnston took another vulcanologist's shift and his remains were never found, sadly. He had a date with his girlfriend that night; I feel so sad for her and for David. He seemed like a sweet young man. 💔
There's a lot of scary people in photos before they snapped and that's what I like to see. How about doing a few haunted house before episodes like the 2 Amityville families and other people???
I remembered hearing something about him being involved in those festivals, so first I was like “ That can’t be-“ then “Polish Independence festival? Yep, that’s Gacy.”
You might not see this but, while watching this video I realized after 2 and a half years how much time you spend into making these. I just want you to know that me and a lot of other people enjoy your work. And I also just want you to know that we appreciate what you do. As always keep it up and have a good day or night.
The Regina Kay Walters pic has haunted me since I first saw it years ago. It's not just the fear in her eyes that got to me but rather the buildings in the background. She was so close to yet so far away from civilization, people who could save her. The unfairness of it all that's shown in the pic still gets to me whenever I see it. She's having her life snuffed out while people so close to her get to live and cannot help her. Obviously this sentiment is true for most murder victims, they are murdered so close to other living people and yet nobody can help them. This pic, however, drives that point home. It's one thing to know something intellectually but it hits differently when you actually see it with your own eyes.
Not just that she is surrounded by 2x4, she isnt bound at all and the killer was busy with the camera. She could of saved herself of she was fast enough
I can believe that some wives/girlfriends might not know about their S/O's serial killer tendencies. In the case of John Wayne Gacy however, I don't understand why his wife could NOT know. That house must have smelled awful.
He buried them with layers of lye all over them. Lye is a dangerous alkaline that’s equal to sulfuric acid, only on the other side of the spectrum. Lye is usually in powder form and doesn’t typically burn when put on the skin, but once it gets wet, it’ll feel like someone is putting out a cigarette on your skin. Dumping more water on it only makes it burn worse. If you ever get lye on your skin, you need to pour a mild acid, like vinegar, to deactivate it. Many murderers use Lye when burying bodies because it dissolves all the moist tissues, leaving only dry bones behind, so there probably wasn’t any smell from the bodies he buried under his house. I think it was under an addition added onto his house which had access to the crawl space from the basement of the main house. As soon as he showed the picture, I knew who that maniac was next to the First Lady. It shows what a conman he was that he was able to get near the First Lady.
The story about the hurricane Katrina couple is great. I'd been thinking, if these two people were so traumatized, that's probably a decent explanation for why they were able to be good supports to their neighbors during the hurricane. Thriving in adversity is a trauma response
I had never heard Zach and Addies story from his side or perception. Leave it to you to make me feel even the slightest crap about a guy who killed and tried to get rid of her remains by cooking her. PTSD is no joke. Excellent portrayal of this story!
Tyler: “I’m a caring person that made a horrible mistake” .. Killing the very people who have given you life, and nurtured you for years goes far beyond a “horrible mistake” That’s evil incarnate.
@@lesliebean4594 Brady and Hindley are the killers in the photo titled "The Moors", which is in the video (I assume you didn't watch that far?). They sexually assaulted and murdered children.
For being the most destructive volcanic eruptions in America, I barely see any talk about Mt. St. Helen's it outside of Washington schools. I've heard his story before along with the scientist who took up close photos of the eruption a few times while learning about it in class. It shows the risks scientists take and we should be thankful for their sacrifice.
Wow. That must have been something. I woke up in Aberdeen on the morning of May 25, 1980 and it was completely dark outside with an orange hue and the rain was sticking to the ash as it hit our house windows.
Wow, that must have been something to witness!! I was only a 12 year old 6th grader at the time and I live on the East Coast, but I vividly remember when it happened and how everyone was talking about it at school for days non-stop. That evening I watched the newscast covering the eruption and I was just awestruck! Over the years I've been fascinated by this event and honestly can't believe how utterly brutal the blast was and the ensuing devastation it caused.
I was a 4th grader in Vancouver, WA. We had a perfect view of the mountain from our front porch, so we watched it from there. It must have been a weekend because we were all home. I can remember my mom yelling at my dad and me to get back in the house, but we stayed out there. Couldn’t really look away. It’s an experience I’ll remember for the rest of my life.
Even though i have to work in the morning and i live in Europe ( so the videos are realeased at 1 am here ) i still always stay up to have them play while falling asleep. Your videos have never dissapointed me in the 4 years I've been listening to them 💜
The Moors Murderers still make my blood run cold, and break my heart. Their murders happened before I was born, but they are still the worst murders in British history and the first case of this kind in England. All I can think about are the children and their families. So many decades later, the needless waste of children's lives and the anguish they caused makes me bow my head.
Amazing, I’ve seen so many videos about pictures and creepy backstories, yet you come up with ones I’ve never heard of, or you add context and knowledge to ones I’ve already heard of. Keep up the good work!
Just wanted to say that I love and respect your channel and podcast. Your voice is the best and your intro's of music jingle are the best with all your visual effects. Also love your ending with the birds chirping. Anyway just want to say that I rely and depend on your material first at night to help me go to sleep but now I listen to all your videos at work every single morning and I even re listen to your stuff. It's just so relaxing and calming and informative as it gets me through my early mornings that start at 3 and 4am. I look forward to every M-W-F video. I first started watching Mr.Nightmare back in the day and then my wife started expanding scary stories videos and over the course of time we found Darkness Prevails, Swamp Dweller, Uncle Josh, and most recently Southern Cannibal which I also enjoy. But your voice and style and the way you narrate your stories is my favorite and just wanted to let you know that what you do here makes a difference in my life and others as well. Your talent and way of entertainment is just great! As horrible and scary as your stories may be that you read, it's educational at the same time and very relaxing as I listen to your voice through my AirPods at work every morning. Thank You! A+++ Thumbs Up! and already subbed a long time ago!!!
The story of Regina Walter's is one of the most morbid and horrible dark stories I've ever seen or read about. It was horrible what he did to these 2 young people. When I read about this the first time I felt dark for the rest of the day. I guess it's because not only did he kill her but tortured her for months. My gosh, what she must have gone through. I am so glad that she is in heaven where nobody can harm her ever again. Shes in the arms of our dear lord up in heaven. That I think is the absolute worst thing you can do to another human being. What a sick demented evil man. He should have been subjected to the same horror he put this sweet young girl through before he killed her. God Bless this beautiful child in Heaven!! I would if I could take her hand and tell her everything is going to be alright!
I remember the ash from the eruption of Mount St. Helens drifted all the way to Chicagoland (where David Alexander' was born and raised), creating amazing sunsets for weeks. Even at such a young age, we all felt a bit somber for what we could comprehend.
You many have said it, I just didn’t hear. There were 602 people who died at the Iroquois Theatre in Chicago. All of these were great stories. Some a little more disturbing than others. Great work
This is what humans just do; we believe we are infallible and SO intelligent, but our reckless hubris causes us to crash time and time again. Look at The Titanic, Bruce Ismay was so impressed with his creation that he was ABSOLUTELY certain that his design was "unsinkable." Well, apparently it wasn't. We STILL to this very day are just as fallible as we were back then. At least we can hopefully learn from our mistakes, check our egos at the door and understand that humans will ALWAYS be imperfect and bad things are going to happen regardless because we NEVER will be perfect.
WoW!! You really never know what people are going through...I've been grieving, worried & anxious a lot. After watching this, I'm just grateful to be alive.
The first one, I thought the guy looked familiar. My heart sank when I heard the name. It just goes to show, someone can look like your everyday person but in reality, there's a disturbing secret. Not to say that everyone is like that
The Tyler Hadley story has me so fked up right now. How anyone can be pushed to the point of killing his own parents is just unbearable. That story has me questioning "why" as well. I saw his parents. They look like my parents. They look like anyones good loving natured parents. All they ever did, for all we know, was care and some act from the devil took over their son and turned the whole situation into a nightmare. Im not a religious person btw. But all im saying is the more and more i listen to these true crime stories from LR, Disturban, or Horror Stories it's just unbeleivable how human nature can be so cruel. Like, what drives someone to manifest such acts of horror? This is a scary world yall. I pray for everyone's mental health and sanity because i think a majority, if all, inhumane homicides can be heavily attributed to mental health in the first place. I feel it's the main drive. But we also have come to find that drugs and alchohol heavily induce it too, perhaps 10 fold. You know ppl get frightened of ghosts, goblins, aliens and monsters. But man, mental health and the pure insanity that can overwhelm human beings is the thing that scares me the most. We are going crazier and crazier by each generation. And man, i just hope everyone's ok out there.
I agree, we have a lot of people struggling with mental health issues including myself. I'm not going to hurt anyone but there are a whole lot of people that can't take care of themselves ie: homeless etc.. The stigma associated with mental health needs to be lifted and we need more research into psychiatric meds. More affordable mental health for anyone that needs it.
There are only a very few phychiatric conditions that make a person dangerous to anyone. You don't even bother to distinguish between neuroses an psychoses.
I honestly don't think it's human nature. I mean, even the most deadliest animals in the world love and will die to defend their own babies. Don't get me wrong. But we as humans are "animals"...so we should act like it more. We humans, we should know better than this, but we don't. Sorry in advance for being Debbie Downer...🤘
I do know tho, that controlling every tiny aspect of a Teenagers life when they're growing and have a desperate need to stay making their own decisions. Making mistakes. Learning and starting to have your own life, friends and life. And I truly Believe that doing that to a growing Teenager can be so so bad for their developing psyche. I know from personal experience. And their excuse is the Teenager is smoking weed or something therefore their control is justified they feel. But not allowing them to grow and start taking responsibility for their decisions instead of taking the option of even making their own decisions away, is so so detrimental. Even worse than doing nothing at all.
The Moors Murders got to me so much, and the fact that one of the victims is still up there somewhere, that it weighs on my mind every time I travel through Saddleworth Moor.
Me too, for starters im from Glasgow too and thats one bugger we don't claim. I hope theres a hell and i hope they two are getting tortured the way the tortured their poor victims. That boys mother died not knowing where her little boy was and that sick, disgusting pair both took the information to they're graves. It makes me sick to my stomach when i think about these two.
So well narrated!! The photos & video series are the only ones I listen to because they are the only ones which are believable & non-fiction, which as we know is wayyyyyyyy more frightening than fiction. Do more of these please!
I lived through Mount St Helens eruption erupted when I was a little kid when the Ash started falling when I was little I thought it was snow when the sky was going dark
I'm from SW Ohio I don't remember getting any ash that far away I was 15 yrs old in 1980...Now I want to know whether we did or not and maybe we did and I'm forgetting .. Now I have something to Google lol. Thanks for the great story..
*I grew up in Aberdeen, WA (Kurt Cobain and Krist Novoselic) and was here when Mt. St. Helens erupted. The main eruption was May 18,1980 but the one that buried **_my_** county, Grays Harbor, in ash happened exactly one week later May 25, 1980. (We had 60 million tons of ash where I was.) My husband and I recently visited the Mt. St. Helens center and saw a lot of information about David Johnston. We are saddened at what happened to him.* *P.S. Flying over Mt. St. Helens looks like you're looking at a bon bon that someone took a bite out of. It really does.*
this intro freaks me out. in late 80s i had a dream where my parents dunked under a lake of lily pads and came up as skeletons. you use an old tv, the kind our household had. i am spooped big time
Me too! I almost left a similar comment for LR (without the dream of course!) about how weird I feel when I hear that trippy music and see those eerie visuals. It has a 1970s feel to it all and the images just make me feel completely unsettled in an almost unidentifiable way. He (or whomever) is absolutely brilliant for coming up with that entire idea and setting that freaky mood!
@@jasonprice5307 whether its a dream or a nightmare is totally down to the person who had it...and as four corectting pepoles spelingg nobbody carres gett ay lyfe...
i watch disturbing content 24/7 and have been since i was a kid but that gacy stuff was too disgusting for me to listen to it comfortably, the way henarrated it highlighted the morbidness of what happened to the victims
@@charlottestreet3301 I personally thought she was older when I first seen that photo myself. I have a 14 year old daughter, and that really smashed me.
david johnston is probably one of my top heroes, but that’s not really shocking because i am born and raised in washington and live only a couple hours away from mount st. helens. i have such a deep love for that volcano and area, and as an aspiring geoscientist/astrobiologist, i really respect johnston for his fortitude and dedication to his research. i was born about twenty three years after the eruption. its been so fascinating watching the area slowly heal as i’ve grown up, and with new discoveries being made with the volcano such as the glacier caves. thanks for making a segment on him. :)
Holy crap! This was incredible! I've never seen any of these pics before, and the in depth information you unearthed is priceless! This is one of the best vids I've ever watched. From anyone! Wow!
We’re watching Mt. Rainier. “They” say it’s overdue for an eruption. Since it’s covered by snow and ice year round, an eruption will cause a flash flood along with molten lava, called a lahar. We have sirens go off the first Monday of every month as a test
"They" have also been warning us about "The Big One" that's supposed to come, too. I've been in Western WA State my entire life; spent part of my childhood in Renton. They've been talking about Mt. Rainier that whole time but it hasn't gone yet. Let's hope it doesn't any time soon.
@@AngelaVEdwards You do realize that “they” don’t mean tomorrow, right? You know they can’t even reduce it to a year? Of course the big one is coming. “They” aren’t stupid or wrong. If you really read about it, you’d know what kind of timeline you’re looking at.
First time listening and shortly into the video I subscribed. Really full of info and of unheard info. I'm in!!! Loved your voice too. U definitely have a perfect voice for orations.
You have to be really... wrong wired if you’re able to murder someone, especially your own mother, while on ecstasy. I can’t imagine anything I’d want to do less than that on it, it makes you love everyone in the world.
My parents were 6 when the Mt. St. Helen's eruption happened. They lived (and still live) in Victoria BC. They and others have told me that on the day of the eruption there was a thin layer of ash that covered their roof and yard.
In Tylers case it was later told that if the guests actually looked closer at some items they'd see small blood splatter possibly even more if you ask me, but thats sick and scary. His poor parents just wanted the best for him.😢
11:32 I went to the spot that photo was taken. there's a lot of vegetation growing back but the area around the mountain is still pretty barren and flat. we drove next to this huge river of barren wastes and hardened ash at the bottom of the canyon that we followed for miles on our way to the volcano. once you start approaching the volcano you start to see huge fields of dead, burned and flattened trees. absolute piles and piles of them. it was beautiful but so haunting and surreal that I had a hard time convincing my brain that what I was looking at was real.
it’s 2:46 AM.. i barely get 0:40 secs in & my mouth instantly drops.. 😱 i’ve seen loads of photos of his disturbed social/community involvements but to see this 1st lady so proud shaking the hand of a monster.. instantly, my skin turned white & i got massive chills thinking of all the unknown accolades he received that we don’t know of 😣😫😖
I've suffered from insomnia all my life, sometimes better but most times not. It's almost 4AM and I am still watching. I am so.tired but this helps Tfs. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙏🙏
Regarding the picture and horrible tragic story of Regina Walters, there's a book about Robert Rhoades titled " Roadside Prey". I've read it but be warned it details the extreme graphic violence he inflicted on his victims.
Songs with creepy background stories was already amazing, can‘t wait for this one! Amazing content as always, I hope you never stop making these videos!😄🙏
I had to seriously take a break after listening to Tyler Hadley's case. Just knowing that his parents asked him why was just chilling.... Well done LR!

She didn't just have "past trauma." She too had PTSD. Sadly, many people think you have to be in the military to have it. Its Awful.
David Johnston took another vulcanologist's shift and his remains were never found, sadly. He had a date with his girlfriend that night; I feel so sad for her and for David. He seemed like a sweet young man. 💔
Let's read bringing the scares with that buttery smooth voice
As smooth as night mind...

@@user-cb5bh3tm6v Why? I've sat in on live chats with him. He's legit. 😉
I recognized gacey right away, I don't know if that's a good or bad thing 😅
There's a lot of scary people in photos before they snapped and that's what I like to see. How about doing a few haunted house before episodes like the 2 Amityville families and other people???
I remembered hearing something about him being involved in those festivals, so first I was like “ That can’t be-“ then “Polish Independence festival? Yep, that’s Gacy.”
I was like "he seems familiar..." and then it hit me with a big ol' "WTAF?!"
I looked at the pic and knew it was Gacey. But I was thinking "huh can't be". Nope it was 😐
same 😰
You might not see this but, while watching this video I realized after 2 and a half years how much time you spend into making these. I just want you to know that me and a lot of other people enjoy your work. And I also just want you to know that we appreciate what you do. As always keep it up and have a good day or night.

Brilliant as always!

@@horrorstories2332 I think it’s good, maybe change the voice if you can but other than that keep grinding!
The Regina Kay Walters pic has haunted me since I first saw it years ago. It's not just the fear in her eyes that got to me but rather the buildings in the background. She was so close to yet so far away from civilization, people who could save her. The unfairness of it all that's shown in the pic still gets to me whenever I see it. She's having her life snuffed out while people so close to her get to live and cannot help her. Obviously this sentiment is true for most murder victims, they are murdered so close to other living people and yet nobody can help them. This pic, however, drives that point home. It's one thing to know something intellectually but it hits differently when you actually see it with your own eyes.
One of those cases that really freaks me out
Same here.
Not just that she is surrounded by 2x4, she isnt bound at all and the killer was busy with the camera. She could of saved herself of she was fast enough
Actually the place that picture was taken was on an abandoned farm....there was nobody near 😔
@@Lost4Smallvilleoh jog on with your victim blaming.
I can believe that some wives/girlfriends might not know about their S/O's serial killer tendencies. In the case of John Wayne Gacy however, I don't understand why his wife could NOT know. That house must have smelled awful.
Some think she was so abused that she minded her business to not set him off
@@hale.yscomet That's highly possible I suppose.
He buried them with layers of lye all over them. Lye is a dangerous alkaline that’s equal to sulfuric acid, only on the other side of the spectrum. Lye is usually in powder form and doesn’t typically burn when put on the skin, but once it gets wet, it’ll feel like someone is putting out a cigarette on your skin.
Dumping more water on it only makes it burn worse. If you ever get lye on your skin, you need to pour a mild acid, like vinegar, to deactivate it. Many murderers use Lye when burying bodies because it dissolves all the moist tissues, leaving only dry bones behind, so there probably wasn’t any smell from the bodies he buried under his house.
I think it was under an addition added onto his house which had access to the crawl space from the basement of the main house. As soon as he showed the picture, I knew who that maniac was next to the First Lady. It shows what a conman he was that he was able to get near the First Lady.
They were divorced by the time he started hiding the bodies under the house.
@@Ariel-ck9he not entirely true, while they were married he had already started his killing...
The story about the hurricane Katrina couple is great. I'd been thinking, if these two people were so traumatized, that's probably a decent explanation for why they were able to be good supports to their neighbors during the hurricane. Thriving in adversity is a trauma response
I have had the horrible misfortune to smell a burned and charred human body. Damn PTSD scent memories are the worst.
I've PTSD too and also have scent flashbacks and scent hallucinations.
I had never heard Zach and Addies story from his side or perception. Leave it to you to make me feel even the slightest crap about a guy who killed and tried to get rid of her remains by cooking her. PTSD is no joke. Excellent portrayal of this story!
Tyler: “I’m a caring person that made a horrible mistake” ..
Killing the very people who have given you life, and nurtured you for years goes far beyond a “horrible mistake”
That’s evil incarnate.
Not as evil as Brady and Hindley.
@@jennystout8600 Killing your parents to throw a party is pretty damn evil. Who’s Brady and Hindley?
@@lesliebean4594 Brady and Hindley are the killers in the photo titled "The Moors", which is in the video (I assume you didn't watch that far?). They sexually assaulted and murdered children.
@@jennystout8600 Oh, I see. No, my baby woke up so I didn’t get a chance to finish the video. I do agree that’s the worst kind of evil.

For being the most destructive volcanic eruptions in America, I barely see any talk about Mt. St. Helen's it outside of Washington schools. I've heard his story before along with the scientist who took up close photos of the eruption a few times while learning about it in class. It shows the risks scientists take and we should be thankful for their sacrifice.
It's taught in every school in my country for geography but I have heard that American schools are terrible
I was on the Narrows Bridge headed to Tacoma when Mt. Saint Helen went off. It was an amazing mushroom cloud!
Wow. That must have been something. I woke up in Aberdeen on the morning of May 25, 1980 and it was completely dark outside with an orange hue and the rain was sticking to the ash as it hit our house windows.
Wow, that must have been something to witness!! I was only a 12 year old 6th grader at the time and I live on the East Coast, but I vividly remember when it happened and how everyone was talking about it at school for days non-stop. That evening I watched the newscast covering the eruption and I was just awestruck! Over the years I've been fascinated by this event and honestly can't believe how utterly brutal the blast was and the ensuing devastation it caused.
I was a 4th grader in Vancouver, WA. We had a perfect view of the mountain from our front porch, so we watched it from there. It must have been a weekend because we were all home. I can remember my mom yelling at my dad and me to get back in the house, but we stayed out there. Couldn’t really look away. It’s an experience I’ll remember for the rest of my life.
Even though i have to work in the morning and i live in Europe ( so the videos are realeased at 1 am here ) i still always stay up to have them play while falling asleep. Your videos have never dissapointed me in the 4 years I've been listening to them 💜
The Moors Murderers still make my blood run cold, and break my heart. Their murders happened before I was born, but they are still the worst murders in British history and the first case of this kind in England. All I can think about are the children and their families. So many decades later, the needless waste of children's lives and the anguish they caused makes me bow my head.
I had never heard of them, it is CHILLING
Joel we miss your livestreams
Amazing, I’ve seen so many videos about pictures and creepy backstories, yet you come up with ones I’ve never heard of, or you add context and knowledge to ones I’ve already heard of. Keep up the good work!
Just wanted to say that I love and respect your channel and podcast. Your voice is the best and your intro's of music jingle are the best with all your visual effects. Also love your ending with the birds chirping. Anyway just want to say that I rely and depend on your material first at night to help me go to sleep but now I listen to all your videos at work every single morning and I even re listen to your stuff. It's just so relaxing and calming and informative as it gets me through my early mornings that start at 3 and 4am. I look forward to every M-W-F video. I first started watching Mr.Nightmare back in the day and then my wife started expanding scary stories videos and over the course of time we found Darkness Prevails, Swamp Dweller, Uncle Josh, and most recently Southern Cannibal which I also enjoy. But your voice and style and the way you narrate your stories is my favorite and just wanted to let you know that what you do here makes a difference in my life and others as well. Your talent and way of entertainment is just great! As horrible and scary as your stories may be that you read, it's educational at the same time and very relaxing as I listen to your voice through my AirPods at work every morning. Thank You! A+++ Thumbs Up! and already subbed a long time ago!!!
The story of Regina Walter's is one of the most morbid and horrible dark stories I've ever seen or read about. It was horrible what he did to these 2 young people. When I read about this the first time I felt dark for the rest of the day. I guess it's because not only did he kill her but tortured her for months. My gosh, what she must have gone through. I am so glad that she is in heaven where nobody can harm her ever again. Shes in the arms of our dear lord up in heaven. That I think is the absolute worst thing you can do to another human being. What a sick demented evil man. He should have been subjected to the same horror he put this sweet young girl through before he killed her. God Bless this beautiful child in Heaven!! I would if I could take her hand and tell her everything is going to be alright!
One of those cases that really freaks me out
He will meet himself when he goes to the other side. He will live threw what he gave here. Every moment will be a lifetime. I pity him
I remember the ash from the eruption of Mount St. Helens drifted all the way to Chicagoland (where David Alexander' was born and raised), creating amazing sunsets for weeks.
Even at such a young age, we all felt a bit somber for what we could comprehend.
You many have said it, I just didn’t hear. There were 602 people who died at the Iroquois Theatre in Chicago. All of these were great stories. Some a little more disturbing than others. Great work
This is what humans just do; we believe we are infallible and SO intelligent, but our reckless hubris causes us to crash time and time again. Look at The Titanic, Bruce Ismay was so impressed with his creation that he was ABSOLUTELY certain that his design was "unsinkable." Well, apparently it wasn't. We STILL to this very day are just as fallible as we were back then. At least we can hopefully learn from our mistakes, check our egos at the door and understand that humans will ALWAYS be imperfect and bad things are going to happen regardless because we NEVER will be perfect.
28:50 I'm literally driving through Cannock Chase as this came on!
WoW!! You really never know what people are going through...I've been grieving, worried & anxious a lot. After watching this, I'm just grateful to be alive.

By the way, it's alright. xD I've responded to comments from over a decade ago, so...
Would REALLY love to see more “Pictures with Creepy Back Stories”. ❤
This is why I'm not scared of so called ghost or animals. Humans are what's scary!
The first one, I thought the guy looked familiar. My heart sank when I heard the name. It just goes to show, someone can look like your everyday person but in reality, there's a disturbing secret. Not to say that everyone is like that
?
The Tyler Hadley story has me so fked up right now. How anyone can be pushed to the point of killing his own parents is just unbearable. That story has me questioning "why" as well. I saw his parents. They look like my parents. They look like anyones good loving natured parents. All they ever did, for all we know, was care and some act from the devil took over their son and turned the whole situation into a nightmare. Im not a religious person btw. But all im saying is the more and more i listen to these true crime stories from LR, Disturban, or Horror Stories it's just unbeleivable how human nature can be so cruel. Like, what drives someone to manifest such acts of horror? This is a scary world yall. I pray for everyone's mental health and sanity because i think a majority, if all, inhumane homicides can be heavily attributed to mental health in the first place. I feel it's the main drive. But we also have come to find that drugs and alchohol heavily induce it too, perhaps 10 fold.
You know ppl get frightened of ghosts, goblins, aliens and monsters. But man, mental health and the pure insanity that can overwhelm human beings is the thing that scares me the most. We are going crazier and crazier by each generation. And man, i just hope everyone's ok out there.
I agree, we have a lot of people struggling with mental health issues including myself. I'm not going to hurt anyone but there are a whole lot of people that can't take care of themselves ie: homeless etc.. The stigma associated with mental health needs to be lifted and we need more research into psychiatric meds. More affordable mental health for anyone that needs it.
There are only a very few phychiatric conditions that make a person dangerous to anyone. You don't even bother to distinguish between neuroses an psychoses.
I honestly don't think it's human nature. I mean, even the most deadliest animals in the world love and will die to defend their own babies.
Don't get me wrong. But we as humans are "animals"...so we should act like it more. We humans, we should know better than this, but we don't. Sorry in advance for being Debbie Downer...🤘
I do know tho, that controlling every tiny aspect of a Teenagers life when they're growing and have a desperate need to stay making their own decisions. Making mistakes. Learning and starting to have your own life, friends and life. And I truly Believe that doing that to a growing Teenager can be so so bad for their developing psyche. I know from personal experience. And their excuse is the Teenager is smoking weed or something therefore their control is justified they feel. But not allowing them to grow and start taking responsibility for their decisions instead of taking the option of even making their own decisions away, is so so detrimental. Even worse than doing nothing at all.
The Moors Murders got to me so much, and the fact that one of the victims is still up there somewhere, that it weighs on my mind every time I travel through Saddleworth Moor.
Me too, for starters im from Glasgow too and thats one bugger we don't claim. I hope theres a hell and i hope they two are getting tortured the way the tortured their poor victims. That boys mother died not knowing where her little boy was and that sick, disgusting pair both took the information to they're graves. It makes me sick to my stomach when i think about these two.
A different translation of what you shared of Psalm 23 is ‘though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death . . . ‘
To this day I am horrified of clowns ! Wasn’t keen before , but Gacey just fixed the hotter in my mind !
Love yourself first and most
So well narrated!! The photos & video series are the only ones I listen to because they are the only ones which are believable & non-fiction, which as we know is wayyyyyyyy more frightening than fiction. Do more of these please!
I think these are the kind of stories I like hearing the most. It's like history, but spooky.
I lived through Mount St Helens eruption erupted when I was a little kid when the Ash started falling when I was little I thought it was snow when the sky was going dark
Yeah, and we had to wear masks then, too. Remember that???
@@AngelaVEdwards I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, and we were getting white ash on our cars all the way down here.
I'm from SW Ohio I don't remember getting any ash that far away I was 15 yrs old in 1980...Now I want to know whether we did or not and maybe we did and I'm forgetting .. Now I have something to Google lol. Thanks for the great story..

*I grew up in Aberdeen, WA (Kurt Cobain and Krist Novoselic) and was here when Mt. St. Helens erupted. The main eruption was May 18,1980 but the one that buried **_my_** county, Grays Harbor, in ash happened exactly one week later May 25, 1980. (We had 60 million tons of ash where I was.) My husband and I recently visited the Mt. St. Helens center and saw a lot of information about David Johnston. We are saddened at what happened to him.*
*P.S. Flying over Mt. St. Helens looks like you're looking at a bon bon that someone took a bite out of. It really does.*
Is far from Aberdeen?? ( im not from us but i do know it's in the same state but i don't know if it's far apart. This should have been terrorizing..
this intro freaks me out. in late 80s i had a dream where my parents dunked under a lake of lily pads and came up as skeletons. you use an old tv, the kind our household had. i am spooped big time
By dream u mean nightmare & by spooped I ll assume u mean spooked*
Me too! I almost left a similar comment for LR (without the dream of course!) about how weird I feel when I hear that trippy music and see those eerie visuals. It has a 1970s feel to it all and the images just make me feel completely unsettled in an almost unidentifiable way. He (or whomever) is absolutely brilliant for coming up with that entire idea and setting that freaky mood!

Those were exceptionally disturbing. If anyone else had been reading them, I would’ve turned it off…. Thanks Joel!
i watch disturbing content 24/7 and have been since i was a kid but that gacy stuff was too disgusting for me to listen to it comfortably, the way henarrated it highlighted the morbidness of what happened to the victims
@@KoltenTVCHis last victim was a teenaged boy 😢💔
Do a part 3 and 4 and 5 and 6 😂
That photo of Regina Walters never fails to send shivers up my spine.
When let's read said that Regina Walters was 14 I was shocked she doesn't look 14 she looks to be in her early twentys
@@charlottestreet3301 I personally thought she was older when I first seen that photo myself. I have a 14 year old daughter, and that really smashed me.
Reginas photo will ALWAYS give me chills!! She was so terrified! 😞
True knowing what she went through and her hands held up like that 😢💔
I literally was just on the Wikipedia page about the 1980 St Helen's eruption where this exact picture is shown. What a bizarre coincidence.
david johnston is probably one of my top heroes, but that’s not really shocking because i am born and raised in washington and live only a couple hours away from mount st. helens. i have such a deep love for that volcano and area, and as an aspiring geoscientist/astrobiologist, i really respect johnston for his fortitude and dedication to his research. i was born about twenty three years after the eruption. its been so fascinating watching the area slowly heal as i’ve grown up, and with new discoveries being made with the volcano such as the glacier caves. thanks for making a segment on him. :)
I absolutely hate that i recognized John Wayne Gacys face. I need to get out more lol. Amazing video though!
Thank you for sorting my bed time story, I know there are other scary story tellers on UA-cam but I prefer to listen to you only
Great content as always man.

Let's Read, Lazy Masquerade, Shrouded Hand.
Holy crap! This was incredible! I've never seen any of these pics before, and the in depth information you unearthed is priceless! This is one of the best vids I've ever watched. From anyone! Wow!
I’ve seen them all before, but this is the most in-depth anyone has gone that I’ve seen. Feels like I’m finally seeing them for the first time
We’re watching Mt. Rainier. “They” say it’s overdue for an eruption. Since it’s covered by snow and ice year round, an eruption will cause a flash flood along with molten lava, called a lahar. We have sirens go off the first Monday of every month as a test
"They" have also been warning us about "The Big One" that's supposed to come, too. I've been in Western WA State my entire life; spent part of my childhood in Renton. They've been talking about Mt. Rainier that whole time but it hasn't gone yet. Let's hope it doesn't any time soon.
It will be truly devastating if that sleeping dragon ever awakens.
@@AngelaVEdwards I remember reading and watching usgs that st Helens was like a thousand to one shot of erupting. God I'm glad I don't live in Hawaii.
@@AngelaVEdwards You do realize that “they” don’t mean tomorrow, right? You know they can’t even reduce it to a year? Of course the big one is coming. “They” aren’t stupid or wrong. If you really read about it, you’d know what kind of timeline you’re looking at.
Omg. Be safe please. 🙏🙏🙏
When Mt St Helen volcano erupted, we got ash in our backyard in NYC!
What an incredible video, presented with such honor & reverence. Thank you.

I was hoping this creepy photos segment would come up again. I really loved the first volume.
First time listening and shortly into the video I subscribed. Really full of info and of unheard info. I'm in!!! Loved your voice too. U definitely have a perfect voice for orations.
I recognized Gacy from all the documentaries. Good find!
Creepy places with terrible backstories would make a great video idea.
The best narrator and reader of these type of stories. And one the best UA-cam channels out there.
You have to be really... wrong wired if you’re able to murder someone, especially your own mother, while on ecstasy. I can’t imagine anything I’d want to do less than that on it, it makes you love everyone in the world.

seriously these kind of stories are just👌👌👌
My parents were 6 when the Mt. St. Helen's eruption happened. They lived (and still live) in Victoria BC. They and others have told me that on the day of the eruption there was a thin layer of ash that covered their roof and yard.
This new series on let's read is a great addition to the channel, great idea let read, one of the best narrators out there😁😁👌👌
In Tylers case it was later told that if the guests actually looked closer at some items they'd see small blood splatter possibly even more if you ask me, but thats sick and scary. His poor parents just wanted the best for him.😢

Hands down my favorite scary story teller. Your voice is awesome. I count the days until your next video is uploaded.
11:32 I went to the spot that photo was taken. there's a lot of vegetation growing back but the area around the mountain is still pretty barren and flat.
we drove next to this huge river of barren wastes and hardened ash at the bottom of the canyon that we followed for miles on our way to the volcano.
once you start approaching the volcano you start to see huge fields of dead, burned and flattened trees. absolute piles and piles of them.
it was beautiful but so haunting and surreal that I had a hard time convincing my brain that what I was looking at was real.
I literally count down the days til you put up a video. The weekends are so long without you!! Love your stories Let's Read ♥️💯
Lol me too x
Thanks for always keeping me entertained on my drives to and from work
With Zach it may have been PTSD. I have been overseas a few times and Iraq was a particularly rough tour.
This is truly a fantastic video. I usually use these at bedtime to relax but I fought sleep to hear it all. Great job.
it’s 2:46 AM.. i barely get 0:40 secs in & my mouth instantly drops.. 😱 i’ve seen loads of photos of his disturbed social/community involvements but to see this 1st lady so proud shaking the hand of a monster.. instantly, my skin turned white & i got massive chills thinking of all the unknown accolades he received that we don’t know of 😣😫😖
This is one of my favorites uploads for sure!
I've suffered from insomnia all my life, sometimes better but most times not. It's almost 4AM and I am still watching. I am so.tired but this helps

Regarding the picture and horrible tragic story of Regina Walters, there's a book about Robert Rhoades titled " Roadside Prey". I've read it but be warned it details the extreme graphic violence he inflicted on his victims.
I've been a true crime buff since I was in my late teens and I'm 59 cases about torture are too disturbing for me..
