The first story had an animation from Axeman Cartoons - that's why there's sound effects. Future animations will be minimal to no sound effects. ua-cam.com/video/CJEdJEF06WA/v-deo.html
Not sure if I am a fan of the animation format, I usually listen to the stories when I’m going to sleep… What I do know is that I’m a big fan of your channel ❤
Lmao, I always listen to your videos in the background with the screen turned off and this time I didn’t know there were animations included, I was so confused at the long pauses and random sounds in the first video until I turned my screen back on 😂😂😂
Yeah it made me absolutely sick to my stomach. I hate that there weren’t any actual repercussions for that person and that she just kept going on to hurt more people. She needs to be kept away from the public before she escalates further. Someone could be killed.
That first story is an OLD one. It's one of those camp fire legends. I love the new graphics and especially the animation on that first one, man! Great job, keep it up!
I'm not sure these are real, but the one with the stalker, at the college, I always tell college kids, not to bother with school authorities. Their entire job is to protect the school not you. Always document and take those documents to actual police.
In the third story, those girls sounded like they were taking advantage of Sherwood and knowing he was a bit awkward/odd/mentally challenged. And yet, one of them decided to take a hike in an isolated area with him. She does not know him very well. I think many lessons can be learned from this story. -_- smh
True story: when I was younger and dumb I sold somthing on Craigslist. But the smartest thing I did was ask for the buyers description without giving mine. I walk in pretending to buy food without the product first and I see 4 grown dudes positioned around this shady looking guy. All looking around nervously. Yeah I bought my chicken wrap and noped it out of there pretty fast. Listen to your instincts. This was about 20 years ago
Story 1. Whoa, the visuals for it started so smoothly with the rain sounds and all. Felt so bad for the guy in the story. So scary!!! Hope he is safe henceforth.
Sherwood story is BS. “Durr he showedd me a ded body and we dident call the police” why tf do people try to pass these things off as actual experience. It would be more entertaining as a story.
EVERY. TIME. She had the option to take action against her. She THREW IT AWAY. She saw an obviously deranged woman deliberately targeting her and REFUSED to do anything about it. I stopped feeling sympathy for her the second time she did it. Every time after that was another nail in the coffin. Imo, she has no right to try and garner sympathy from anyone if she had multiple opportunities to make it stop and refused to take them. Absolutely infuriating. Sorry for the rant I just kept getting more and more pissed the longer the story went on. Maybe if she had a longer paper trail of incidents, the univeristy would have taken it more seriously the first time.
@@chief6102you’re not wrong. But predators like Nelly know how to target the people who are unlikely to fight back. The prey on the weak and artfully use fear as a tool. Not saying OP isn’t infuriating but she has a weak nervous system which Nelly could sense.
The one with the woman who got shot with the shotgun. The reason they left the bbs in is because it would cause way more damage to take them out than leave them in. The same reason I still have so much shrapnel in my legs and hands. The risk of damage is greater than the rewards for taking it out.
Someone tried to carjack my friend's mom at a gas station, but couldn't get away because he didn't know how to drive stick 😂 I guess more of us should learn how to do that ....
I lost my job of 5 years in optical. I loved my patients. I loved you guys. I helped so many people get things for cheap. It feels empty right now, so grateful for the upload. 🥺
This video is absolutely terrifying! 😱 The story about using Craigslist to rob someone is so real and chilling, it makes you rethink ever trusting online ads. Each of the 10 stories is more disturbing than the last, with creepy encounters that make you realize just how dangerous the internet can be. The way these Reddit users recount their terrifying experiences is haunting. It's a strong reminder to always stay cautious and never let your guard down when meeting strangers online. Definitely a must-watch for anyone who loves true horror stories! 💀
Story #2 is chilling, but imagine if it had a reenactment video like Story #1! And better yet, picture it from the perspective of the man living under the house 😂😂😂
Man I really wish the person with the stalking case had elevated things to the police, especially considering how much evidence they had against the person. I know the police suck ass a lot, but the fact that the school refused to do anything and then the person just kept going on to hurting others? It makes me sick to my core. No one should have had to suffer through any of that. That stalker should be locked up and kept away from the public. Or be in an institute or something - they are clearly not well.

i though it fit just fine
That's great. Thanks!
I agree sorry I commented before listening futher.
Avid long time bedtime listener.
I pressed play, hopped in the shower and was so confused 😂
Oh no Joel I love you to death but this background audio is really distracting especially coupled with the long pauses😭
Tooo Loud
Watch it again, this time look at the screen, only the first story!
Hate the noises! Never again please!
Its ridiculous

Same and I was going to sleep 😂😂😂
😂😂
Same🤣🤣🤣
Same
I was trying to go to sleep and it was freaking me out
that nelly story was INSANE

YES
Yeah, the fact that the school wanted her to sign an NDA on top of that is disgusting.
True! Sons of a all the same! Many sons of a also stalkers themselves, after office shifts 🥴🙏🙏🙏
Not a fan of what was going on in the background in the first story! Just giving feedback, no hate. Still love your narration ❤

I think many lessons can be learned from this story. -_- smh
I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking this. I try never to victim-blame, but this felt really off from the beginning.
yeah definitely a little exploitative
And why didn't they call the cops to report the body?
They did.
They did not call the cops !?
What about the body??
I listen for the voice. Don’t care about the video but glad you’re trying something new! Good luck ❤

I did that with dates
Why didn't the girl call the police about the body right away.
I look forward to these every Monday and Thursday. It’s my routine. Thank you Let’s Read
Story 1. Whoa, the visuals for it started so smoothly with the rain sounds and all. Felt so bad for the guy in the story. So scary!!! Hope he is safe henceforth.
Have to stop listening if the sound effects continue. Too loud and continous to focus on the story. They don't add anything useful.

it says in the story she did call the police
That story with Nelly, the the victim is extremely annoying and pathetic.
EVERY. TIME. She had the option to take action against her. She THREW IT AWAY. She saw an obviously deranged woman deliberately targeting her and REFUSED to do anything about it. I stopped feeling sympathy for her the second time she did it. Every time after that was another nail in the coffin.

Omg this Nelly girl should be in a mental asylum! I dunno how the girls endured so much
right?with all of the solid evidence she had , something should have been done
I don’t think I have ever been disappointed with one of your videos, much love from Colorado
The animation was amazing for the first story! I would love to see more of this. Thank You!
Noooo animations please😫
@@Del_Cappoagreed 😂
I listened live, but you know I'm just going to listen again.
I love listening to the live yapping read and trips me out when I listen to final post the next day lol
I know! The way I just wish there were more of his videos. I ran out 😭
Oh 💯 me too
Same. Always
Hey Let's Read, thank you for your stories! Keep up the good work!

I'm sorry you have to live with that

Like the rest of the world does.
Small early Christmas present.... Santa is a big fan of your channel and your amazing narration. 😊
The animation and rain sounds is CHEFS KISS 🫶🏽
I love the animation for just 1 story. It's cool that you're trying something different, Joel.
😂😂😂 last story. Don't promise snacks and not provide them.
Wooow, the rain sound is top tier! Thanks Joel!
That is exactly what I was thinking.
@@77egina nice
Yes love rain, wind, fireplace!
The Nelly story is the fakest thing I’ve heard in a while😂
That Sherwood one fkd me up. 😱🥶
The last story... I was a member of a Coven for 10 years... He gives good advice! I am now Christian.
Thanks for the upload!
I lost my job of 5 years in optical. I loved my patients. I loved you guys. I helped so many people get things for cheap. It feels empty right now, so grateful for the upload. 🥺
Love the claymation style video with this read Joel ❤
Absolutely love the claymation-style video with this reading, Joel! ❤
Craigslist!!😂 LETSSS GOOOO
The background hissing, or rain, or static , or whatever it is, has my tinnitus is dialed up to 100.

What’s with the ridiculous sound effects in story 1
Good evening everyone 🌆 🌙🌙🌙
Hello Good Evening to you also! Saying hi from California!
Good evening
GN!!! 💤😴💤😴💤😴💤😴
Hello 😊
8:45 pm here in Montana 👀
Let’s go let’s read also using cragilist to rob somone is genius ngl😂
❤❤ wow Joel you've outdone yourself I absolutely love this !!! Loyal subbie here
Nice with the animation too ❤
I've listened to you for years but that sound on the first story was horrible.
Story about Nellie was fascinating
I really love your work Let’s Read! Always! But these sounds from story 1 were so annoying for me, I couldn’t concentrate on what you’re saying
That background nouse ruined my sleep
Love these longer compilations! Helps me get through the work day! Thanks so much! ❤
Editing my own scary content is so much more enjoyable while I listen to your stories. Keep up the amazing work! 👍
That Nelly story was crazy. And the school didn't do a thing about it?!
Yasssss!!! Thank you, Joel!
Wow Joel we even get a Movie!! Thanks!
Such a great narrator. The inflections and pregnant pauses- perfecto.
Pregnant pauses...hmm... Thank you for teaching me a new phrase. I'm going to go look that up. 😊❤
First story might make
U think your on hallucinogens, especially with the animation lol
😂😂 I'm sorry but 3:28 had me laughing for some reason
The rain and thunder is too much.
Ahhh. My night time medicine.
Ty Joel.
Story 3. Don’t take advantage of people if you don’t want unwanted attention…. Seems like a no brainer.
You never disappoint, Joel. Thank you for staying golden 💯
Ahhh bedtime stories, thankyou Papa .😊❤😊
Can't listen the new naclgtpud noise is ABSOLUTELY ridiculous
Moral of story. Stay out of the forest with Sherwood. 😂
I always listen to you Joel everytime I workout
Yesss ❤ our fav storyteller
Boom.
So this person not only ignored Nelly's red flags, but knitted them into a stylish scarf and wore them proudly
I highly doubt this story is authentic.
Love it joel
Can't wait to get home so I can listen and get some rest 😴
Loving the animation!❤
Thank you!!!
Chugga chugga chuggq chugga WOOWOOOOOO
This makes zero sense.
@@Sargumphigaus well? Exactly what is it?
@@Flamsteretteit makes sense to let’s read since he pinned the comment lol.
I ❤ the live listening to it come together and the completed version! Joel rocks! Long live the
Maybe you missed the live chat. Or maybe because they're the first to comment?
Good morning dude thanks for the stories
Dude, brugh… Ive heard every single one of these stories already but it’s alllll good, dude. I still listened to it all because you’re awesome. 😏
The sound effects ruined it
Loving it
Yayy just in time!! 💤💤
Can the animation video be turned down in the first video? I can’t hardly hear Joel reading for the video Or is it just my phone?
Crazy background noise in the first 😂
❤ thank u for posting ❤ you don’t realise how much I needed to switch off.
Sherwood was a service sub FOR SUREEEEEE
Great as always. Thanks for the lives, too.
Thank you Joel!! Have a good night! 🌻🌻
Story #2 is chilling, but imagine if it had a reenactment video like Story #1! And better yet, picture it from the perspective of the man living under the house 😂😂😂
Thanks man!
Thank you very much.
Nelly is a creepy thing,
You Rock 🎉🎉Thank You for all your awesome work 🖤💙
Is this a throwback episode? Wtf. I couldn’t finish this one. Hahaha
Good Video!
Man I really wish the person with the stalking case had elevated things to the police, especially considering how much evidence they had against the person.

Love your stories ❤ just wondering why there is Lot of loud noises in the background now?
Love the rainfall
Love your reading voice ❤
What in the world are these animations😂😂. I miss one live😂😂
The background was an added bonus!!!
Didn't we just hear the 'Sherwood' story a few weeks ago? Anyhow great stories n execution as always 😊
" 100% true"
I couldn't with the animation noises and long breaks.
Hate the sound effects!!!
Is that bbl drizzy on the cover?
