To the problems with gasses and ventilation when exploring: any decent backpack will be capable to fit at least two small bottles of o2. I always have one and a refitted mouthpiece I didn't use for scuba diving any more. And always pack enough weapons to not be worth the effort :)
Just wanted to say thank you. I'm laying beside my wife and this is her phone, she hasn't been to sleep in a couple days and her mania is making her hear loud music.... made her lay down beside me, put you on the Bluetooth to try to drown it out for her and now she's laid across my chest. Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️ and if you see this when you wake up I love you sweetie, you're going to be okay just know you're wife is always by your side! 😘
Haha I would say ur so sweet babe but she'll never see it 😂 usually she never gets on my phone so she must have put him on on my phone lol definitely my favorite. Man I have the most amazing wife you could ever ask for 💯🖤
I have to hand it to you. Some of the stuff people talk about has me laughing and you narrate it like a champ. I’d have to do 20 takes without laughing at some of these things. Dude’s friend farts in the car and he didn’t think it was that bad 😂
"Let's Read" is my favourite channel, for his voice. Some other channels are also my favourite but no one has a voice as good as Joel's for story telling. His voice is smooth yet he tells every story as if he was truly there, wich makes it so much more realistic and it pulls you in to the story. He really does a wonderful job and i've been binging.

URBEX stories are great! Of the multitude of scary story types, I believe these would be the type that I'd personally be in. Haven't done any URBEX myself tho...yet 😁
Here's an odd story..... I listen to your stories because of the sound of your voice and your great reading ability. Most of the time I don't even know what the stories were, basically your the background noise in my long, busy, days. 🤣 Thanks !
I actually think some narrators edit their content the other way around, in the effort to make it "hip" or "edgy". Some of their content is so prolific with literary profanity its difficult to believe ppl write their about their experiences in such a manner. I mean, really? Every story? (i.e. Corpse Husband) Therefore also difficult to listen to for any length of time. I guess Im "old school". Whatever the case, If ppl do write it that way, I appreciate Joel's effort to edit out the unnecessary expletives. He's top class in every way.
@@jennystout8600 Do you mean to imply that my being of that opinion is contradictory to the opinion expressed within my username? As if I support both censorship AND freedom of speech? Just want to make sure Im clear on that.
Perfect!! Thank you Joel❤️ I have a question for you Joel....it is amazing to me the variety of stories there are and your content is always different...is this content just American Reddit or do you research the globe for international stories as well...I'm just curious to how you and many others have so many stories that are different and so entertaining...how long does it take you to do research for a single recording or a story block of compiled stories???
I was listening to some of Joel's backlogs of paranormal stuff last night, when one peaked my interest. It was (I think, because I was in and out of restless sleep all night) about a girl whose room mate was, well, cuckoo. The basic description of her antics were as follows. “ She accused me of killing her fish, accused me of sleeping with her boyfriend and watched me sleeping”. That's Chandler's room mate! THAT IS Eddie Menuek. F.R.I.E.N.D.S fans, back me up here, tell me you'd be thinking the same. The only thing she didn't do was shrink some fruit in a dehydrator.
Subtle yet masterful artistry in story telling. I really enjoy the narration with each one being brought to a satisfying conclusion but yet some how open ended. Which in a fun way leaves my pondering elements from each story. Please keep up the great work!
Thank you Joel for all you do and give for these videos!! I know I have enjoyed your channel and content for over a year now. And look forward to every video you post!! Thank you!!
Oh god when I was a kid a family that lived in a rental my dad owned just disappeared... They had paid so we didn't notice for a while... It was so creepy... Cereal bowls with spoons still at the table, Dead dog tied up out back, a teddy bear on the stairs, bread dough everywhere, the radio playing and for some really weird reason the bottom 3 basement stairs were missing... I was only 12, but it was reported to police, they apparently found no evidence of a crime... Never heard from the family again.. my dad cashed a rent check months later (cleared) not because he wanted the money but because the suspense was killing him, he was sure something weird or terrible happened.. he waited a few years but the home was a bio hazard and a danger at that point so he plowed the house into the ground... They didn't ditch dad for rent so what happened?? They either went on the run or were killed I guess... It was a family of 4.. but I've never seen any missing persons report or bodies found that match what I remember, I especially remember their daughter because she was just a couple years older than me... That's what I think of when I think of abandoned buildings 😳
For all those, who like to explore underground places. H2S is FREAKIN DEATHBRINGER because of its ability to immediately desensitize your smell receptors in high concentrations. Sometimes it is enough to inhale it 2-3 times to completely lost consciousness, and you know what? If you don't have someone equipped with a closed cycle rebreather, or you aren't tied up with an emergency cord with someone outside to pull you out, you are dead. Emergency rescue teams are not an option, since it is matter of minutes, or even seconds when one in H2S cloud would die. There are two ways to check if it is safe down there: 1. Gas analyzer (reliable and safe); 2. Little fire, like a match e.g. (extremely dangerous as there are flammable gasses as well, and unreliable). Think thrice before you go.
I've never heard of this being a thing but I've always kinda done it. It's fun to see what's left behind and whatever. I should get back into it for real. Just another reason I love these videos. 🖤
Goddamn, this was really, really good. I used to do this type of stuff when I was a kid in the early 90’s, but there wasn’t a lot to explore where I live. The coolest place we found was an old house with the 2nd story collapsed down onto the first story for about half of the house. We started referring to it as the Amish house, I can’t remember the origin of the name tbh. This place must have been used for storage because we found all kinds of bizarre crap in there. There were some coin operated toy machines full of stuff, all kinds of ammo reloading equipment and a ton of black and smokeless powder we used to blow stuff up later, some bottles of liquor which were as good as finding gold at that time, I can’t remember what else, this was almost 30 years ago now. We checked out some old factories, very old actually, shut down for at least 30 years, the floors above the ground floor were all wood and in bad shape, we had some close calls in there I was terrified to even walk around in there as I have always been big for my age I weighed as much as the average adult even at the age of 12. They ended up tearing one of the buildings down after we started frequenting it, my friends got chased out of that house I mentioned, I wasn’t there that day. I explored quite a few old houses. One was really old, must have been abandoned for 40-50 years and still had most of the stuff inside. There was this big grand piano in the living room and the living room had a big picture Windows, we shoved that piano out that window from the 2nd floor and my god that made a lot of noise when it hit 😆 I’m not particularly proud of that, my friend and I were in the midst of a Pantera obsession and we enjoyed emulating them by smashing stuff. That place got torn down shortly after that. I think we were the catalyst to many of the old buildings coming down to prevent kids from getting hurt. Nothing else stands out at the moment...
Also for anyone that gets into trouble with medical situations, remember stay calm or else your blood pressure will rise and the flow will go faster. Stay calm, pinch the veins, and add any type of antibacterial material even if you only have some alcohol itll work. I've been told I've had to go to the hospital a couple of times but didnt because I knew what I needed to do. Though if it doesn't stop after 20min go to the hospital. I've gone through my throat cut and my fingers cut to the bone and never went to the hospital willingly, point is, be sure you know how to take care of yourself if exploring urban or in the wilderness
Where i grew up was an abandoned soldiers and sailors home. That included an orphanage. It had a lot of beautiful old buildings. The hospital and the old school were the creepiest parts. Also where we ran into other people. There was also a huge auditorium. Someone had painted a 6 pointed star in the middle of the stage. There were dead chickens. Now all those structures have been either demolished or repurposed.
To anyone that runs into a noose walking around, my dad and I actually like just making them and sometimes i feel like hanging them up for giggles. Idk why, and no I'm not "sinister" or suicidal I just find them intriguing, i actually used some rope to make one for my keys. It's a pretty good knot to use to hold things if you get robbed as well because the tighter they pull the more its attached to me and less likely I'll lose it
