Ty so much for all your hard work! I look forward to yours and Mr Revenants videos literally daily (I watch older LR episodes on days you don't post), I have clinical depression so some days it's the ONLY thing I look forward to and I appreciate it all the more then!
Never announce to an abusive partner that you are leaving! Just leave when you can, and IF you can pack a small bag ready to go when it’s safe! Announcing you are leaving to somone abusive will only make them even more abusive!
@@welsh.truth.dragon3914 yeah I definitely had to be ready to go. Absolutely get a bag and break their cycle of control regardless though! Controlling men suck!
YES!!!! I literally just stopped the video at that point so I could check the comment area to see if anyone ELSE thought that was goofy!! Makes NO sense!!
Right?? I guess they just made that decision in a state of panic, not thinking clearly or anything. I’m really glad they jumped into action that quickly to get her out of the apartment building though, if that was a real situation where she was in danger then that would be lifesaving
Indeed I’ve noticed that a lot, maybe even most, of other horror narrators stories, despite titled “true stories”, highly involve supernatural aspects, while Lets Read’s stories usually doesn’t unless the video title specifies it. I wonder what’s the reason?
I've lived in several rathole motels. There are two types of people who live in places like that - they're either on their way back up, or circling the toilet bowl. Never, NEVER, become involved with the locals, in such a dysfunctional smurf village - as tempting as companionship can be, when you're in a bad place in your life.
Yes, I am doing much better. I live comfortably, in another country. That being said, one never stops seeing the world through "homeless eyes," even when they do manage to land in a better situation.
@@qwertydog9795 Full disclosure: I don't have a top 5. Fullest disclosure: I'm not qualified to rank anything. BUT I am certain that the reference you made would be in my top 5 if I legitimately had one 🤣 I forgot about a lot of other epic tales he voiced for us
I have been watching Lets Read for 2 years now. He has seriously motivated me to make my own horror film content and to try to make the scariest short films on UA-cam. Your stories help me brainstorm my own ideas. Thank you so much Lets Read for giving me a purpose in life.
I find myself mid story stopping to do Google searches on these insane stories 😳!! Some of them I've never heard but thanks to Let's Read never a dull moment finding out about them
Yes I was almost trafficked in Baton Rouge but thankfully I was able to come up with a quick and excuse and escape before the guy was able to catch up with me. I still get chills when I think about it, I was so close to never being seen again.
@@jaebyrd4608 OMG! I totally believe it bc it seems like every day someone on my social media talking about how they were followed in the store, their car was tagged, being followed literally in their car. Just insanity out here!!
The story with the Flordia Water Bugs is actually pretty terrifying because if they are anything like the California toe biter their bite BURNS. I was bit by one when I was maybe four or five and I still remember the absolute pain in my big toe even after it let go. To imagine a swarm of them coming at me gives me chills.
That first story was hilarious, a random girl shows up to your house late at night saying she needs help, and then you two book a hotel together makes sense 😂
As much as I enjoy the live readings, they are so hard for me to follow. Thank you so much for posting a story only version of the lives Joel & my ADHD thanks you too! Love listening to your channel while I study!
@@Jetta_Jade oh it's definitely neat to be able to chat with a page creator, I love the commentary but I lose focus etc. So I'll try to follow it but end up leaving the chat and just waiting for the story portions to be released.
Last night was an awesome mother's day. I brought my wife a beautiful golden retriever for her mother's day gift. Today I get to listen to let's Read. I enjoy all of Joel's content.
@@prissyjones8892 all though I feel like the greatest mother's day gift I ever give my wife Stephanie was when I made her a beautiful mother for the first time 2 years ago. In 3 months Stephanie will give birth to our second child.
Yay!just finished Blue Spookys video now it's time for Let's Read perfect timing as we are under a thunderstorm warning right now. So I'm sitting in the dark candles lit got my supper made. I'm ready to eat and listen to one of my fav narrators. Thank you Joel for all your hard work it's much appreciated. Hope you all have a great day/night wherever you are. And stay safe everyone.
Quick reference for Story 5. Open your hand, palm up, fingers together. Imagine something that stretches from the tip of your middle finger to the center of your palm, and as wide as three of your fingers. THAT'S the size of a Florida water bug. Sweet dreams.
I have one. Slept in this place and in the morning couldn't find my sock. I pulled the mattress away from the wall. The bottom of the mattress was saturated in old dry blood!!
Story 6 actually has a reasonable explanation. My cousin is a contortionist (I guess some people would consider contortionists as creepy though lol) and when we were growing up she would often practice her contortion, and one day she ended up leaving dirty footprints on the ceiling whilst practicing lol It became like an inside joke within the entire family haha
Just an FYI a person who stops breathing from opiates goes into cardiac arrest. So common sense should tell you opiates can and do send people into cardiac arrest. Think before you speak.🙄
Thanks for the vid Lets Read!, the last story was really something else. Also, the fact that the guy doesn't want to be seen or treated as if he's a monster, well I feel the boat has long sailed on that one.
Love the video ready ❤️❤️ some hotels give me the creeps but I always shuck it off because I always think it’s always in my heads ( mostly because of the stories I heard
Omg l cracked up sooo badly at the headless ghost lady in the hotel hall that wasn't really headless, or a ghost!!! Is it wrong of me? I can't help it, how embarrassing that he gasped loudly!! 😂😂😂
Note on the water bugs from story 5; those little guys can actually be found in freshwater bodies all over the world. Some species get quite large and one is considered the largest in their order. Not "dangerous" but certainly painful. They tend to be attracted to electric lights at night, if you want to try and find some.
It’s my turn to do Monday night dinner for my family. I have a few rules that includes not touching my radio or tv. They can only watch or listen to whatever I’m watching or listening to. Right now it’s you. 💗👍🏾👏🏾👌🏾✌🏾🙌🏾💜
you are what makes my every night Joel Thank you for being so consistent and having such a soothing voice I love your channel it's my absolute favorite ❤
I hate the stories that are about really nice, and people that just try to help, because I am definitely that person, and I would believe you need help, instead of trying to trick me.
"one of the killers is still out there waiting to kill again" Yeah well if the traffic in Chicago is anywhere near as bad as when I visited that last killer is probably dead lol
Where in California did the third story happen. I live in the same town your parents live in after she quit. I want to see if I can find any info about it.

Wise words welsh
Indeed, no words truer. I wonder just how many have died because they did, likely countless.
Yeah it’s awful just today had to get away from mr slap and choke
@@queenofdestiny omg I’m so sorry to hear this . Are you safe now? X
@@welsh.truth.dragon3914 yeah I definitely had to be ready to go. Absolutely get a bag and break their cycle of control regardless though! Controlling men suck!
Story 1. Uh, no. If a victim comes to my door in the middle of the night, we'd be heading straight to the police station instead of a motel.
Found that also silly! Why drive away?
YES!!!! I literally just stopped the video at that point so I could check the comment area to see if anyone ELSE thought that was goofy!! Makes NO sense!!
Right?? I guess they just made that decision in a state of panic, not thinking clearly or anything. I’m really glad they jumped into action that quickly to get her out of the apartment building though, if that was a real situation where she was in danger then that would be lifesaving
Lol
First story is fake thats why
I try other narrators and always come back to this channel. Reason: original stories where things actually happen.
How do you know they're real?
@@tylertorch5914 original and real are two different things.. BUT lets read covers A LOT of true cases you can look up and actually read about
@@GankTown I agree with you, on this, they may not always be the most realistic or believable, but they’re certainly original and unique in each video
@@colbymarsh2074 His 2 hour vids are always repeats but atleast he does not have ghost stories in his "true" stories.
Indeed I’ve noticed that a lot, maybe even most, of other horror narrators stories, despite titled “true stories”, highly involve supernatural aspects, while Lets Read’s stories usually doesn’t unless the video title specifies it. I wonder what’s the reason?
“I wasn’t hiding from the threat, I was WITH the threat” put that in a movie and you got yourself a instant classic😁
So true. 😳🫢🫣
Amen
Are we not basically seeing that in the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard case?
@@magemagus36 lol true😆
What’s so profound about that?
I've lived in several rathole motels. There are two types of people who live in places like that - they're either on their way back up, or circling the toilet bowl. Never, NEVER, become involved with the locals, in such a dysfunctional smurf village - as tempting as companionship can be, when you're in a bad place in your life.
i hope your doing better now
Same. There's so much truth to this.
Yes, I am doing much better. I live comfortably, in another country. That being said, one never stops seeing the world through "homeless eyes," even when they do manage to land in a better situation.
@@Jynxxxycat ❤️
Literally in a motel trying to sleep and I get this notification
Love u Joel 😄
Story #4 is easily among my top 5 favorites that Joel has ever read. Absolutely hysterical 🤣
what about the "there will be no more milk when Jesus comes back" one 😂
@@qwertydog9795 Full disclosure: I don't have a top 5.
Fullest disclosure: I'm not qualified to rank anything. BUT I am certain that the reference you made would be in my top 5 if I legitimately had one 🤣 I forgot about a lot of other epic tales he voiced for us
Story one: it's not aiding and abetting if someone is threatening your life.

nice!👍🍀
Go for it, dude. Hope to see it one day.
So cool. Cursed Mario lego 💜👍🏽😊
try 7 years broo8ii take that comrade of the Let's Read cult memba
31:00 just imagining a demon tweaker running along the ceiling in the middle of the night 😭
Why do you have to book a motel room to call the cops? 🤣 They need to come with better stories but the diction as always is immaculate chef's kiss ✨
Rite? The whole thing was 🐂 💩.
Dictation? Narration, maybe?
I find myself mid story stopping to do Google searches on these insane stories 😳!! Some of them I've never heard but thanks to Let's Read never a dull moment finding out about them
People don’t realize Baton Rouge and surrounding small towns are a hot spot for human trafficking. It’s truly terrifying.
For sure. Especially Port Allen
@@hannahhartley9396 right! When he said “outside of BR” I immediately thought Port Allen 😩
It's that damn till bridge

did u submit it
Where have you been young man?
I wanna know your hotel story
Let’s hear it. 🫣
Yup sure do

solid 🍆
1 hour left of work and NEEEDED something good to listen too, thank you let’s read 🔥🙌🏽
Did anyone else notice the repeated line after 39:39? I had to double back to make sure i heard it right. Lol, it happens to the best of us!
I can't believe that LR is so close to getting 1M subscribers, hopefully he'll get there before the year's over with.
I’m sure he will eventually. He’s too good not to. One of the best narrators on UA-cam by far.
Right on time as always, Joel. Happy Monday all! 😊💜💙💚💛❤

I fucking hate water bugs with a passion. I feel that guy.
Quick reference for Story 5. Open your hand, palm up, fingers together. Imagine something that stretches from the tip of your middle finger to the center of your palm, and as wide as three of your fingers. THAT'S the size of a Florida water bug. Sweet dreams.
Oh hell no! 😂😂😂
I've seen them and just no.
Wtf that's horrifying
I hope to see more glitch in the matrix horror stories again, mannn those were the best!
The glitch stories are my favorite, too.
FYI: Kinetic Symphony has a lot of great glitch videos.
I have one. Slept in this place and in the morning couldn't find my sock. I pulled the mattress away from the wall. The bottom of the mattress was saturated in old dry blood!!
The horror!
I’ve been waiting for new content! I’m running out of old videos to re re watch
Damnnnnn! These stories just reaffirm my distrust for motels. 😭
Story 6 actually has a reasonable explanation.
My cousin is a contortionist (I guess some people would consider contortionists as creepy though lol) and when we were growing up she would often practice her contortion, and one day she ended up leaving dirty footprints on the ceiling whilst practicing lol
It became like an inside joke within the entire family haha
There are many stories that can't be told today, because the story tellers didn't live to tell the tale.
Good one. 👍🏾👏🏾👌🏾
Love your videos
I could live without googling the bug. Fellow people suffering from trypophobia, DO NOT DO THAT TO YOURSELF.
Duly noted. 😫🤮
I hate water bugs/roaches
Just an FYI, opiates do not send people into cardiac arrest it causes them to stop breathing.
@Hyperskreem 82 yep! I absolutely agree!!🙂
Just an FYI a person who stops breathing from opiates goes into cardiac arrest. So common sense should tell you opiates can and do send people into cardiac arrest. Think before you speak.🙄

Aren't toebiters INCREDIBLY painful? Yeah, you're right not to finish cleaning it.

dude my God you're pumping these videos out the quality folks the quality it's just too good
I remember back when me , my sister and my parents stay in one room of a motel with a very dark secret.
Go onnnn......
@@kristenharral4707 It said that it was once used as a drug den. It also said that an actress was gang-raped on the same room.
@@fransuke12 yikes!!!
Loved the stream last night ❤ it was wonderful!
Can’t wait! Thanks for posting so consistently and being awesome!!
nice work as always joel.
I sooo love too hear you narrate a story!
I heard of story 7 on Unsolved Mysteries and Forensic Files im pretty sure… and another crime series on here!!! Never gets old though 🙌🏽
I always look forward to your uploads, thank you for all you do 🧡
I just looked up Florida water bugs and Holy shitballs! I can see why! 😨
I'd be asking the uncle in #2 why it isn't registering with him what his nephew found
"Eat your weenie, weenie hot dogs"🌭...delicious advice...wait a minute...
Omg yea!
Sweet content! Always a treat no doubt ❤️👍
Perfect after a busy day at work
Omg l cracked up sooo badly at the headless ghost lady in the hotel hall that wasn't really headless, or a ghost!!! Is it wrong of me? I can't help it, how embarrassing that he gasped loudly!! 😂😂😂
Baton Rouge, lol! That's my people!!
Great Videos Wow your killing it .
I laughed so hard on the story about osteoporosis lady😂😂😂....pure comedy❤

Tht water bug story Ugghh Frfr I lived in Florida we had a pool them things get bigggggg lol
Motels are like vacations to me. As expensive as one too nowadays..
Let's Read your voice is soothing, calming, great stories 🎉
always coo to listen to a let’s read video ❗️
The story with the kids stuff and the fire, I think story 2, bro that was your uncle doing something wild
“I beg your pardon, ma’am, I thought you were a headless ghost.”

Yasssss
Story #5 Oh HELL NO!! I moved to Florida for a new job! OMG!!! Story #7 What!? I grew up in Marietta, GA!! I know the Knights Inn!? WOW
story 4 reminded me of the episode of spongebob "hash slinging slasher"
Early bird!!! Yessss!!!
I hate the stories that are about really nice, and people that just try to help, because I am definitely that person, and I would believe you need help, instead of trying to trick me.

Heck yeah let's read!
❤️🇬🇧❤️🇬🇧❤️... Just what I have been waiting for. I'm now zoning out and forgetting the world to this x
G*ddammit Joel... your endings always crack me up
A friend of mine was bitten by a Florida Water bug on a field trip in school, she was sent to the hospital.
🇺🇸🦅💥💥💥Squaaaaawk
Listened 1:29pm 15/5/22 🇬🇧
I love story #4 no matter who tells it!😅
Where in California did the third story happen. I live in the same town your parents live in after she quit. I want to see if I can find any info about it.
At first I was guessing that the man who had the do not disturb man was the green river killer at first
I lived in Marietta, GA for a large part of my life. I have never heard it mentioned in stories before.
Love your content keep it up! Just subscribed :)
Holy smokes 😱🤯😳 and I thought New York has some big rats!!!!
I remember the Unsolved Mysteries episode with story 7 on it
Great artwork as always
It's quite relaxing listening to your videos!
So I just saw one of those water bastards. Eugh 😰
that water bug one was quite the scare, probably the scariest story ive heard, had me shaking in my boots
I really enjoyed these narrations!!
