It was so nice to hear how those girls tricked the serial killer and got him arrested. You don’t hear too many stories like that with a satisfying ending
It's scary how addictive it is, it calms my anxiety so well. The voice creates a safe space within it, where I can hide from the trauma responses. And it's like a warm mental hug, it's absolutely mindblowing how much comfort it brings!
Some of these stories wouldn't be half as scary if they weren't read by you, Joel. Your voice and delivery turn every story into the fabulously spooky ! 💯
Steve's and Hannah's stories are heartbreaking... I'm really sad for people like them. On the other hand, the story of the guy being spooked by his friends on his birthday and the two guys walking awkwardly in the middle of the night, scared of each other, were kind of cute and funny. Thank you for reading these stories for us, you're amazing ☺
I think you’re one of the best voices to listen to on UA-cam, no sloppy mouth sounds, tongue noises or phlegmy sounding words. I have Misophonia, so, sloppy sounds really irritate me. Please keep posting these longer videos, I listen every day to satiate my morbid curiosity. I also just subscribed to the chilling app, but I’ll always come to UA-cam for these longer compilations of stories! Much love to you 🌞
True, LR is gifted with perfect pitch, excellent enunciation and incredible intonation. However, you must realize that others cannot help the way they sound. So what about accents? Idk, it would never enter my mind to be annoyed, by the way someone sounds. Although poor grammar will be corrected, if I am around. A bit hypocritical 🧐 there I suppose. Some of us just are not gifted with a perfect voice. I prefer to think we have other gifts! LOL
Wheeler-Weaver's been sentenced to 160 years so far-- I think he's fixing to be tried for more murders. Terrifying that that happened not far from where I lived as a kid.
New Jersey is a corrupt state ran by crooked politicians that's something to be scared of. Not some stupid fairy tail people tell their kids so that their kids wont go outside after dark.
The last couple of years has been bad for me. I started getting intrusive thoughts last year abd couldn't sleep. I was already a subscriber but that's when I started listening and sleeping. I sleep to the sound of Joel's voice now. It helped so much. I love this channel. I'm glad so many others seem to as well. 😊
I am the same, I have been fighting with insomnia for some time and I found his voice soothing, and sleep here I come . But listen to these stories I get the chills.
I try to fall asleep and most nights it works. A lot of videos I rewatch over and over again. So I know whatever I missed when I was asleep I will eventually hear. Lol. I was still in a bad place when I made that comment. It's been a rough year but I listen to Let's Read as often as I need to now and catch live steams more often. This is my favorite content creator on UA-cam.
I've heard the Starbucks story where the psycho witch throws her cup of coffee into the man's face a couple of times and every time I listen to this story I always say to myself, I hope Karma gets back at her real good one of these days, make her suffer through what that man suffered through. The audacity of that woman just makes my blood boil.
As a mother, the story about Richard broke my heart into a million pieces. That poor baby never stood a chance. How can you sleep at night knowing you abuse your son so much that he tries to light the house on fire at age 5 and is drinking alcohol at age 8? Where the hell is CPS? They let him go back to his parents? Not saying his murders were justified at all but I can see why he turned out that way 😢 awful awful awful
The voice you made when you said “Happy Birthday” was absolutely needed as a comic relief 😂 That story terrified me given how disruptive it was and the sounds I heard in my head for it’s cries. Nicely done!
Hmm I'm always wondering bucko, stop prefacing your UA-cam messages with "if" when referring to me... It's never an if with me, it's always a "once you've...", understood?
Same. I find Joel’s voice so comforting, it’s 3am here in the uk and I’m having a fibromyalgia flare up so can’t sleep but I’m hoping to drift off to this. Definitely my go to: Thanks for all your hard work Joel ❤
Thanks for putting the ads in the beginning of the video! I remember you had them in the middle for a while and it used to wake me up right before I drifted asleep
So today is my bday n I walk around listening to these all day while Im cleaning, cooking etc. So I kind of absentmindedly listen to them. My fiance is always pulling pranks on me and that story where they said "Happy Birthday" real creepy at the end, I swear I stopped, looked around, got my phone n was looking for however or whatever it was that he got to tell me happy birthday in that creepy voice bc it scared me 😂 I was looking for him to scare me somewhere but he's not here 😂 he's at work 😂. So your prank got 2 ppl on their birthday without even trying on the second one! Thanks guys, made me smile when I rewound it (yes I'm old, not that old tho😅) and heard it say it again 😂
So glad you posted tonight. I'm not feeling well at all and your videos really help me relax and sleep. Thanks for all of your bed work you put into you content. Ot is very much appreciated.
That’s so bizarre literally pressed play to listen to you & it didn’t play. I went to check & you’d posted this one. You weirdo you read my mind. Lol 😂 luv your guts & Thank you 🙏
Joel. I listen to your stories when I go to sleep. You are like the most soothing narrator on youtube. Cheers man. Keep up the good work. 😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴. Oh and HAPPY 900k. 🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂
Ohhh after eating a big ol plate of Momma's Cajun cookin, and putting this on, ima be sleeping like a hibernating bear! That's the very reason I eat about an hour before I go to bed.. cuz Cajun food is so filling. It's gonna have me damn near in a food coma, plus these stories, chooo ima sleep goooood!
I was hoping that someone had a theory about the devil tree. Seems so weird that they would refuse to destroy it. Especially after being used for hangings
it most likely has an attachment to it and they have a healthy respect for the tree. it is not the trees fault that it has a dark history. i say let it die a natural death and even then dont cut it down. that thermal pocket may also be a good reason not to remove it due to what has happened in the past when folks messed with thermal pockets. i lean on a combination between both science and paranormal activity.
1:18:04 This statement reminds me of the moment I realized I have nothing to fear from being alone in the dark (or NOT alone in the dark!) At the time, I was working as an overnight security guard at a car dealership. It was a classic spooky mid-October night, several years ago, and the weight of being alone in that area suddenly came down on me full force. I looked around nervously, imagining every shadow hid someone just waiting to jump me. Then, after a moment's reflection, it hit me! Anyone or anything lurking out there in the dark wouldn't see someone who was shaking in their shoes (I'm naturally good at not letting my emotions show outwardly). They'd see a hulking, 6'5 (197 cm) man in a vaguely cop-like uniform prowling around looking for intruders! From that point on, I've been aware that I'm almost guaranteed to be the scariest person or thing out there in the night!
The Devil's Tree was used for lynching. I have an ancestor that witnessed it first hand. I also have relatives that were hung in The Nuremberg Trials. I don't know about anyone else but I personally would leave it alone. Idc if it was right or wrong .... Anything like that holds deep terrible pain in it. I wouldnt wanna be anywhere close if it was cut and that pain was released.
In 🇨🇦 you are just released with conditions. They have to have someone who signs responsibility for them. We don't have a bond payment like the US. If the assailant gets a signer and break their regulations, the signer is responsible for them breaking their law. I had to have a man federally charged for stalking and harassment. The officer was great. I went in Friday am with 8-9 inches of threats and the dead flower he left and the cip said "well, it's Friday night so I'm going to go arrest him so he has to sit in jail till Monday. Best 2 days ever. Listen to your instincts folks. We have them for a reason!
Born in Augusta Maine and lived there over half my life, still in Maine. Imagine my shock when I heard someone was born here in Augusta in one of these stories
Love your reading voice, and have been enjoying your channel for a long while. Would it be possible for you to add story numbers or time stamps, to let viewers skip (to) a story?
Don't use letters to represent a person. Especially when there are a bunch of people in the story. It's confusing hearing about you being at G's Grandma's house with L and B when K called on the phone to meet up with M and the creepy van drove past and P gave them the finger and G, K, L, Q, and B laughed while eating candy
Dude I commented when you hit 800k and you actually replied well now you’re over 900k congrats big time soon you’ll be at 1Million I’ll comment then as well just to keep it going … you need to do a skinwalker video would be awesome
I just recently came across you ,I started watching Mr Black..than came across this ...now I'm addicted I always love this ...I have worst insomnia 😫 an you calm me down and now I'm always on here. Thanks 😊

It was so nice to hear how those girls tricked the serial killer and got him arrested. You don’t hear too many stories like that with a satisfying ending
Could as well be a movie story.
The Thai massage parlour down my street's corner always gives "satisfying endings" (if you're willing to pay of course... trust me, I know!!!!) ;-)
These are fake
@@norrisbarnes6136not all of them are ik a good portion of them are but there a a good bit of true ones u can do the research and find out are true
There should be a hella more women in the FBI. We have stealth and research skills 😎
this is the only thing that helps me sleep and to stop overthinking during the night
Same. I have to listen to something or my mind won’t stop and I’ll be laying awake for hours just thinking.
same here. im actually doing it rn since it’s quite late and i wanna head to bed but can’t do that without a good couple of horror stories 😭
It's scary how addictive it is, it calms my anxiety so well. The voice creates a safe space within it, where I can hide from the trauma responses. And it's like a warm mental hug, it's absolutely mindblowing how much comfort it brings!
Literally same, 7years now and I can’t go to sleep without let’s read!
You ever tried drugs?

Omg I agree with this! I can’t listen to any weird mouth sounds drive me insane
@@heavensent7050 ikr? instant click off the video if I hear sloppy sounds ahahahah
Look up Mr Ballen he makes you feel like you’re in the story
....also, loud, sudden, or repetitive, noises in my case.

It’s raining here & all the lights went out. Thank goodness my phone is charged up. Listening to these stories with my candles lit. Thank U J. 🌸
🌧🕯⚡️
👍
A phone? Too poor to afford an iPad…how pathetic.
As a Jersey girl who’s heard most of these stories, you brought new life to them. Especially the Jersey Devil. Great job! 👍
The scariest part of the stories were when he said they happened in new jersey😩
Wheeler-Weaver's been sentenced to 160 years so far-- I think he's fixing to be tried for more murders. Terrifying that that happened not far from where I lived as a kid.
New Jersey is a corrupt state ran by crooked politicians that's something to be scared of. Not some stupid fairy tail people tell their kids so that their kids wont go outside after dark.
As a Brooklyn guy, don't freaking come round here... we don't take too kindly to you Jersey rats!!!
Such a soothing voice relaxes me for the scary stories. Love the combo

Mine too.
Agreed
Indeed & Agreed!
Anyone else blown away by the courage shown by the girls in the first story??
I live where that took place. I remember when it was going on. Terrible stuff. Those girls were on another level.
@@mtcnaz is she okay?
Yes! All those brave, smart women deserve medals.
I wish the girls in the first story would've blown me...
@@rubetornabene8543😐🙄🤦🏼♀
I am loving these stories. I like these stories way better than any of the other story tellers. I am actually enjoying the stories
you could do a whole series doing horror stories from each state. like each episode is a different state!
Always love to see a couple hours of random stories from Reddit. Now I can coast into oblivion with one of my favorite storytellers. 👍👍👍
As a mother, the story about Richard broke my heart into a million pieces. That poor baby never stood a chance.

It made me so mad and aggressive I was laying in bed and I actually punched my poor sleeping wife on the back of her head... hated that!!!
@@rubetornabene8543 Nice!
Woke up my cat. 😂
Joel. I have no idea what ever got you into narrating, but many thanks to whatever it was. Love the stories. Love the voice.❤
Thank you for narrating these stories! It makes time fly by when I'm at work for 10 hours
Thank u for these without ads. Helps me to sleep a lot
The best to listen to after a long day of work cooking dinner! Thanks Joel 🤗
Awesome my main man Joel can’t wait to hear these stories thank you
Thanks for the upload!
Thank you for taking the time to read these stories. Your voice is amazing. 💚
Hell, yeah! A quiet house, my sewing room, headphones on and 2+ hrs of Joel & Let's Read! 😁👍
If anyone's wondering, the guy from the first story was sentenced to 160 years in prison.
Thanks for sharing....he should have gotten the death penalty!
Thank you.
Hmm I'm always wondering bucko, stop prefacing your UA-cam messages with "if" when referring to me... It's never an if with me, it's always a "once you've...", understood?
I was actually, thank you for the info.
Same. I find Joel’s voice so comforting, it’s 3am here in the uk and I’m having a fibromyalgia flare up so can’t sleep but I’m hoping to drift off to this. Definitely my go to:
Thanks for all your hard work Joel ❤
I always enjoy your narrations, I can tell how much effort and pride you take in your channel. We all appreciate you. Thanks for the awesome content
Perfect timing as usual! Thank you ❤️
Thanks for putting the ads in the beginning of the video! I remember you had them in the middle for a while and it used to wake me up right before I drifted asleep
Love you UA-camJoel!💙💗💙
Just the fact that you mentioned Townse Van Zandt makes me love you even more! I hope you know his music....the guy was a genius 🙂
I'm so happy I've found your channel. I absolutely love it. ❤️

Bed work?
Been waiting all day to relax and listen to the stories. Thanks Joel. Much love 💖 from South Australia 🇦🇺.
SA here too!
These audio books and sleep casts always help me fall asleep
Thank you
Thank you, Joel. I really needed this tonight. I'm working though, so gotta keep on going. Let's Read!!!
Good sensitivity regarding mental illness and why do many people can't function well in society. Great job!
I believe this IS a great job. Sensitivity is individual.
That story about Steve was heartbreaking, I hope they get answers someday.
That story is gonna keep me up at night.
You have the perfect voice for this. thank you it's very calming
i love a good hunter becoming the hunted story and you read it so well that i felt like i was part of it as an observer.
Yeah..especially the part where she was strangled in the basement of her own car..complete trash writing at its finest.
This just made my afternoon. Thank you.
My brain doesn't slow down. It really helps me
Oh my, another treat, just in time for UK bed time!!!.... You're quite amazing ❤️🇬🇧♥️🇬🇧
That’s so bizarre literally pressed play to listen to you & it didn’t play. I went to check & you’d posted this one. You weirdo you read my mind. Lol 😂 luv your guts & Thank you 🙏

She was strangled in the BASEMENT of her own CAR?!?! I definitely replayed a million times and I did not mishear xD
The birthday story in the pine barrens. Was touching. Enough to make a grown man cry 🥹
That scalding coffee story made my jaw drop. People are bonkers
Glad to listen to this while at work 🤟🏻
10/10
Let's gooo! 👌🙏🙌
Id heard the hannah up story from mr ballen. I didnt think any one coukd tell stories like him but im addicted to lets read.
The silence between the stories was a bit strange since I am used to having something play….. 😳
it also leaves one in suspense
@@helema23 totally agree!!!! Leaves you on the edge of your seat!!!! 😳
I'm so hooked to this channel. Not only it help me sleep but it also makes my boredom away.
That hAApY BiRthDAy by Joel for sure left me laughing for hours
Love this channel
Jersey Devil story was amazing. Loved it so much.
I like listening to this when churning butter. We are the buttersock cult after all.
Got excited was like new stories yeaaaa buddy lol
This is my FAVORITE intro music, or sound effects to your videos, so cool!
Rainstorm AND this video?! 🥰
Used to listen to music while tattooing. But stories like these are so much more entertaining
The Devil's Tree was used for lynching. I have an ancestor that witnessed it first hand. I also have relatives that were hung in The Nuremberg Trials. I don't know about anyone else but I personally would leave it alone. Idc if it was right or wrong .... Anything like that holds deep terrible pain in it. I wouldnt wanna be anywhere close if it was cut and that pain was released.
Another fabulous upload to get me through a tiring evening
"Guts themed, sad boy moment " I loved that
Thanks Joel ❤️
Wow! Really great and creepy stories!!! Loved them!🤩
Thanks again Joel for a long video to fall asleep too, another happy night!
Stop saying his name
@@isiahz he's not Candyman.
What’s wrong with saying his name
The Best scary story narrator Ever Joel❤❤ Thank You
In 🇨🇦 you are just released with conditions. They have to have someone who signs responsibility for them. We don't have a bond payment like the US. If the assailant gets a signer and break their regulations, the signer is responsible for them breaking their law. I had to have a man federally charged for stalking and harassment. The officer was great. I went in Friday am with 8-9 inches of threats and the dead flower he left and the cip said "well, it's Friday night so I'm going to go arrest him so he has to sit in jail till Monday. Best 2 days ever. Listen to your instincts folks. We have them for a reason!

I love your voice.
Damn...I'm digging the new music!

Awesome for u telling that first story. We such a small town but crazy that things can happen anywhere...
Dude I commented when you hit 800k and you actually replied well now you’re over 900k congrats big time soon you’ll be at 1Million I’ll comment then as well just to keep it going … you need to do a skinwalker video would be awesome
