Trust no one not even yourself
Never myself.
Not even me.
I am not sure if I read this, or I typed it. 😮
Can you even trust…trust? Stay safe out here 💪🏻
How can I even trust this post? Should I trust myself then? Idk what to do here.
To the girl in the last story, he had minimal expenses and he truly cared about you which is why I doubt he gave you blood money and also the cops would have checked the numbers on it to make sure it wasn’t stolen. Honor his memory by using the money to better yourself! Best wishes to you!
Yup 💯 💶 💯 💶 totally agree!
Man that last story, left a tinge of hope for humanity! The man did one last good deed upon his passing.
yea but where did it come from and why push so much on a person you barely know?
To me, it was more touching and heartwarming than scary.
Now, I wish there was a separate channel. "Heartwarming Stranger stories." Sure, not as exciting, and it that kind of ending wouldn't be a surprise, but every once in awhile, we need it. And Joel's voice would be great for that.
Last story, use the money. You didn't do anything wrong and a person who passed away left it behind for you. Especially if that was a legit police officer, you are fine.
Well said 👏
Agreed. The cops probably already knew what it was.
@@carolmayhardie 😊 4, 4
Agreed
I agree, use the cash. That old boy saw you as the daughter he never had. He wanted to leave a future for you.
For the last story, the man who gave the narrator money for paying back her parents and college, he truly is a gem. Despite his history he gave such good advice such as life is to short, and despite both the waitress and man not knowing each other for very long, to recognize someone’s potential and to be kind and to go far as to help them with their dreams despite barley knowing them is incredibly rare and is a testament of his heart and character. Even if the money possibly came from a bad place (which is speculation) he saw something in her and he wanted her to flourish and thrive, and be able to do something that he couldn’t due to age and which he was in no way obligated to do and he wouldn’t have gained anything from such a gesture. Wherever he is I hope he rests in peace and is in a place where he can be happy and free. And to the poster I think you should use the money, I know it may be scary and you are more than valid to take your time in that process. But that money was left for you and only for you, and if it were to be money from a bad place or that could harm you the cops would’ve opened the envelope and tracked to money to make sure it’s safe before giving it to you. And if it was unsafe they would not have given it to you so there’s no worry on that end. Wishing you the best in your journey to becoming a nurse, I believe in you and you can do it! You’ll kick ass! ❤best wishes 💕
That last story had me teary eyed. I love listening to you and your one of the best.
samee just cried i might again xD
@@banana_havocoh please don't. Youll start me off
That last one was heartwarming. ❤ By the Police Officer giving you the envelope I’m sure it’s fine. If LE even THOUGHT the cash was from crimes they keep it for sure. Take that money, do what you gotta do!!! And get back to school dear, that’s a great choice & I’m sure John would be happy for you.
Strangers? Sometimes it is someone in your own home posing the greatest danger.
Most of the time if you are going to be taken advantage of or hurt it is by someone you know.
Duh! Really? Should I write this gem of advice in my notes?
@@paulm5890how kind of you
Ive been listening to your channel for about 6-7 years now idk the exact math, but ive never commented toward you directly, i just want to thank you so so soooo much for getting me through some serious times in my life, im only 20 so your channel has been a huge part of my life, coming up listening to your videos has helped me tremendously, i used to draw while listening and you simultaneously helped to calm my mind and inspire my creativity, and when things got hard for me a few years back i turned to your channel for comfort, and nostalgia. You never disappoint, you and Lazy Masquerade got me through hard times in my life, and once he stopped making reddit videos, you and your channel saw me through some of the best times as well. Thank you,
a very VERY Loyal Fan
First story reminds me of kindergarten, my bestfriend was very sweet and trusting and I loved her for it. She ended up talking to a strange man at the fence on recess and I pulled her away after having my parents always drilling it into my head to never trust anyone. The teacher chased him away but after school like clockwork he wad there waiting for us. I freaked out and went to get a teacher while she wanted to stay and chat. Luckily we got rid of him before anything could happen. This was in the 80s and we didn't have school security it was just kids looking after eachother sadly but we did.
Last op. Definitely use the money. Follow your dreams, man. That money was a blessing. You definitely should take it as a good sign from God and just go for it. More than likely the cops would have investigated the envelope. Doubt they're going after you. Don't give up man~ Keep on going as a thank you to that man.
Let's Read is the greatest narrator to ever live.
Agreed
Ag read 😊
❤

He’s even better then Morgan freeman or snoop dogg narrating a National Geographic video or John malcovich reading twas the night before Christmas to kids
Guy in the 2nd story is a total prick. He's being insanely over dramatic. Not to mention I'm anti social myself and hate small talk especially with strangers, but to act like the guy was attacking you when he was most likely more than anything trying to awkwardly introduce himself as your neighbor. Some people simply like getting to know people in their neighborhood. It's not that strange or uncommon of a behavior. I get being annoyed and mildly creeped out but there's a WAAY better way of walking away from that without unapologetically threatening the guy and automatically thinking he's trying to hunt you down for something as little as that. Guy is talking like his life is an action movie
I came to share the same thoughts. There are people who just enjoy getting to know others and may lack some social graces or pick up on social cues. Nothing in the story suggested bullying in my opinion.
Amen!
Yes! And how about that initial mini story about how healthy and awesome he is as opposed to peers and fam.?! How was that necessary for the plot?? Also, for the better part of the story... I thought he was a fragile woman.
And now carrying a gun,🙃
Bro thinks he's in a horror movie and is the main character smh
Can Joel do like a narration tour across the country? You get a yoga mat to nap and go listen live in person story telling😂
I'd totally go!
YES!!!!!! That would be so awesome
I would totally dig that man, I listen to him every night even on my overnight shifts at work. I always get asked what I'm listening to, cause they all love his voice.
A very long day at work now time to relax thank you Joel your stories make me forget about work. Keep up the awesome work Joel 😎😎
I love how you always support the channel, he definitely deserves it.
I look forward to every video you post so thank you for being so consistent 💗 I appreciate your hard work! Also Happy early Birthday🥳🥳🥳
You keep me sane and help me sleep. Although I’ll admit, I do listen again during the day so I can keep up! You’re the best Joel. Much love from Az!
Poor Martina is too kind and fragile for this world. Also I’m kinda glad I’m as fiery and stubborn of a person…I mean imagine ending up like that over one near-kidnapping. I think I’ve had attempted snatching at least 7 times. I need to submit some stories soon. Still, that poor naive kid. Tragic. I find it kind of pitiful but I also hold that people should be safe to be that soft.
I agree with you.... Upon listening to that incident, as bad as I felt for that girl, I was thinking Jesus that I wasn't that sensitive, especially after being assaulted 4 times, kidnapped, and held hostage in an exe's house for a weekend, while being assaulted every couple hours, and a couple more horrible situations.... I consider myself lucky and blessed because there are heartbreaking unfortunate girls and women who are brutally tortured and murdered... Thank God that little girl wasn't physically hurt as well as almost kidnapped
There is a saying that the Lord only gives you what you can handle
@@Vanessa-xy1fothat's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard
My granddaughter's need to listen to the let's read stories about strangers... cause they're way to trusting an they need to understand the danger of what strangers can do to them... that's pure nightmare fuel!!!!
You’re now, MY FAVORITE SCARY STORY narrator!! None of your vids have ads!! YOURE THE BEST ⭐️
mine have ads sometimes
Yeah they do
@@aaronjames3228 not for me. That’s why I said it. Sucks 4 u
Omg I didn’t even realize you hit a mill!! Congrats if anyone deserves it, it’s you. Thank you for giving us the content we crave! I’ve been listening for a few years now and you’ve never dissapoinged.❤️❤️
As a reward for making it through a hard day at work time to let's read it onnn baby !!! 🤘
Thank you for all the hours of stories you've narrated and continue to narrate. Keep up the amazing work and happy early birthday!
For the 2nd story, id also find that very weird. If the "neighbor" heard your name from someone else or perhaps even eavesdropped your name somehow, its still a weird way to approach anyone. Glad you trusted your gut and got home. He could have introduced himself in a less intimidating way.
I hope Martina is doing well now
Story no. 2 is a nothing burger and a perfect "I'm the asshole" example
The guy literally never threatened op or said anything malicious just noted that he knows where he lives bc they live in the same neighborhood, guy was probably awkward but clearly didn't intend to do anything to him, OP is just anxious af
I'm trying not to be a dick but I'm literally waiting for something to happen in the story to justify the reaction, some people in your neighborhood are just lonely and awkward
That abduction story is disturbingly reminiscent of several others. The victim reminds me of the tragic story that befell Steven Stayner. The perpetrator reminds me of the Candy Man (leaving his name in history). I think Joel’s covered both stories, esp Steven’s since his brother became the Yosemite killer.
I was just thinking the same thing
I already trust no one because I never know who might be a bigfoot hunter
Not understanding the vitriol from OP in story 2. Sounds like you had a neighbor that just wanted to befriend you, and you had a freak out episode in return. He probably was taken aback and had no clue how to react to your meltdown. I'm pretty anti-social myself, but I know about my neighbors, so I would not think much if they knew about me in return. He could have easily talked to another neighbor and got your name and where you live from them.
Yeah the way that story was written made op sound like he was the weirdo lol
@Jelyse Calkum yeah I usually have pleasant conversations with my neighbors when I go on an occasional walk. Never once did I feel the urge to rush home to projectile vomit all over my bathroom like OP. And it's a bit concerning that they started carrying simply because a neighbor said hello one time. I carry all the time but never with ill intent like that.
@@Jorizzle22 Yeah, no, 100%. The way they were humble-bragging about their blood sugar and not having diabetes was just... really weird. They could've just talked about how they like to jog to stay fit or whatever.
@@huskerknight yes! I thought the same thing.
Rainy and about to clean let's gooooo
After a long day of work, you can never go wrong when listening to your stories. Keep up the good work Joel🙏🏼😎❤️
Knowing that his plans to do that act of kindness and the fact he had so much faith in you....I think he would never let it be traced to you and I think it would be a shame to waste his gift do justice to his memory and use the money as he instructed you to!!!! An he's right you got this!!!
I feel like Amanda wanted to set someone up so she could accuse them of SA’ing her, and then use that to blackmail the person by saying she would have some gang members or something hurt them if they didn’t pay up. I’ve heard of scams like that before.
That's exactly what I said! That's why she kept asking guys to be alone, and claim assault.
You have a filthy imagination
Just as I was looking for something to listen to while I'm cleaning up at work!🙏😁thanks!
The story with the walking/running… maybe the guy just wanted a partner. He said hello neighbor… same sex?! I couldn’t understand where the threat was intended… maybe you should have talked to him and asked him why he stopped you this night…
Or he could just politely decline conversation with a stranger. “Say man, I use these walks for some alone time and I’m not up for conversation. Enjoy your walk.”
My nephew is 9 and I have been honest with him about the evil in the world. Everyone softening the truth for me as a child lead me to finding out for myself how sick some people r so I don't hold back a whole lot.
Good for you!! I am glad that you are very honest. It boggles my mind that adults use the "we need to protect the children" BS over and over again. The world is a scary place and we are setting up the young generations for difficulty, hurt and disappointment.
yeah, just tell him to listen to his gut, ALWAYS.there are a lot of people who think the world is all evil and way over do it, you just have to find the middle. My opinion is 85-90 out of 100 people in this world are good people who wouldn't do you harm, you just have to be on the look out for those 10-15 people, but you can't live life believing those numbers are reversed.
an example I was watching reddit videos or UA-cam shorts and a lady told this story (not verbatim) "I was at the mall in the parking lot after shooing in the early afternoon when a man in his mid 20s (she looked in her early 30s) was approaching me and when he was 10-15 yards away he said "excuse me miss" so I responded "Do NoT ApPrOaCh Me, Get AwAy FrOm Me!" over and over as loud as I could and got into my car and sped out of the parking lot. A man should never approach a woman ever, bra bra bra Im a stupid Karen"
Like it was in the middle of the day, I could almost see if it was midnight and no one else was around in the middle of nowhere and the guy was like twice her size, then ok she would be in the right. But what if his dad was having a heart attack and his phone was dead and he wanted her to call 911, or his car was dead and he just needed a jump, or maybe her own car tire was low on air and he just wanted to warn her. he way over reacted and her comment on how "no man should ever approach a woman" like WTF. she's defiantly the type to believe 95% of the world is would to rape then rob them murder you everyday. don't be this person your life will be vanilla af
John Venables had a similar chat with his Aunt Myra. It can be a life changing act. Well done.
Hi Joel, I've had so many creepy encounters during my life I don't trust anyone. I can't even go outside in the dark without my dog's for fear of being watched. Great 👍🏻 Chanel Joel 👌. I love ❤ your channel and your stories ❤ ❤
Hi LR! That last story pissed me off! People can't receive a blessing. Didn't the writer say all he did was go to work, church and the greasy spoon she worked at? Because he was HONEST about his life, motivated her...the first things she thought of was he may have robbed a bank or the cops set her up after he DIED? What a NARCISSISTIC mindset. Tell you what...she can CASH APP me if SHE doesn't know what to do with TEN STACKS. She is more paranoid than him and he served prison time for keeping his mouth shut. If I had to pick a friend, it would be the ex-con. She should not go into nursing. That mind set should not be dealing with the health of patients. I will take raw truth over pretty B.S. ANYDAY! I WILL take that cash app though, since she doesn't know what to do with that money...🤬🧐
Yeah I thought it was a nice story until it got all weird about OP thinking someone was coming after them for the money, like come on
@@Jorizzle22 Exactly!!! 💯
Well he said his sentence was long because he did not rat anyone out. So there would be no reason for retaliation since it's been over 2 decades and no motive for anyone to take him out.
Excellent!! Thank you!! I give like to everyone, that activates the algorithm and UA-cam spread the video 🎉👍💯
Great stories and I suppose it gives more reason to trust no one.
I'm always so excited to see your new uploads!
To the person in the 7th story just accept the money with gratitude and stop overthinking
You are my FAVORITE narrator! I look forward to ALL your new stories
Great narration!! Scary!
Perfect timing once again Let's Read!
I wish I met someone nice like the guy in the last story.❤
Story 2 is the type of paranoid delusional person who should never ever own a gun
Last story. Don't know if op would read this, but talk to someone! Your family maybe? Jeebus! The man could have very well had life insurance and just decided to make you his benefactor because he had no one else? Idk! Seems legit to me!
Eyyyy, I forgot you're a fellow June baby! As long as I'm awake for the livestream on Sunday, I'll come. 😀
Brilliant as always😊
Love your content!
Goodnight everyone xxx
To the person struggling with the money issue..'there is no blessing on ill gotten gain'
#1 story....so scary... wishing Martina a very happy life 🙏❤️
Powerful stories.
Have wonderful birthday and thank you for sharing stories you make them interested.i like this video
Let's go! can't wait for this one.
Best scary story channel ever!!
The last story :(( wasn't ready for that
💜Long Live Lets Read! 🤴 👑
Thanks for the vid Joel.
Thanks!
this channel never disappoints.
Thanks a lot
Last story. Keep the money he alot of faith in you, sometimes it just takes that 1 person to put everything in perspective good luck to you and don't look back. 😊
Good stories tonight.
Happy belated birthday! 🎈 🎂 Story#1 Sorry about what happened to Martina, glad she was saved from being kidnapped. I am glad the offender got caught. Story #6 I hope the young boy who was abused eventually found his family and got the help he needed. I couldn't help but say 'Good' when I heard the older man that abused him and other young men and boys had died. Story #7 Note with the money given was really touching. If it's John's dying wish, do as he says and use the money. Perhaps you could even save it in precious metals or invest it if you have any left over.
Keep the money, you deserve it. Don't worry about how he get it, he's gone.
Just live your life and thank the man and be happy!
Just scrolling through let's read and a there's a new video. Yes!!!!
Keep the money. The police would not have given it to you if it wasn't legit.
That first story - exact same thing happened at my elementary school in the early 80s - in our case the man didn’t come back, at least not that I ever knew of
In many way in middle of America it don't matter where you are from. Bad things happen to everyone, you need to to always need to educate your Children into the danger of strangers.
You crossed paths for a reason ,use the money to better yourself 🙏
Cops don't hand you 10 grand on a set up... ur good girl geez
Ahhhh, perfect timing Joel! Perhaps I _will_ get a little shut-eye tonight! Woohoo!
My fellow Insomniacs, I'm sure you understand......
You must be from Europe
@@TheAmericanDreamed actually, I'm not. I'm from the Caribbean.
Happy birthday Joel!!!
The guy in story #2.....it's always better 2 trust ur instincts. It may have been nothing but u never can really tell. U felt like u were in danger, u reacted & nothing really turned out 2 be all that bad. On the other hand, if u didn't tell the guy off & assumed he was OK & turned out not 2 be.....u would've been having big regrets wishing that u DIDN'T ignore ur instincts. It's ALWAYS better 2 be safe instead of sorry.
I think his wife got to know that dude a little better. And that guy probably wanted to tell him. Just a guess
@2bparistol8 Yep! When I realized Nick was a male, I figured the wife stepped out on him and that was his way of meeting him. 😮
Ohhhhhhhhh yeaaaaaaaah. I didn't think of that!!💡
Last story is strangely wholesome :
Ahh man, it's my main man Let's Read lol 😉 You're ALWAYS on time when I'm in dire need of a lil "strange, dark, and mysterious." 🖤👾👿👻👽☠️😈
Walking does not give you the same benefits running does. They're two different modalities. That's a wild claim
the last part the old guy donation made me cry 🥺😭❤️
Can you do some ghost/demon stories?? That one’s always get me
Joel you do A Phenomenal Job on Narrating all these Stories! One ☝🏼day I will share with you & your Site my 8 year’s of Horrific Abuse at the hands of Catholic Priest & one ☝🏼 Bishop for 8 year’s!! And the multiple Suicide Attempts etc! The bottom line though is I survived & with a True Christian Counselor and seeing her for 20 year’s until her death in 2013, I’m Thriving! I still will never understand how an adult person could ever attract to a child!! Just wanted you to know of all these Genres out there, You are Thee Best!! Thankyou for the way you are So Compassionate to each one’s Story you share!! I wish you & yours All The Best!!!😇
Damn, the last story...
Happy birthday Joel 🎉
The last story is heartbreaking
We share a birthday?!?!?!? That's awesome!
When I did my practical training at a home for the aged, to become a carer, there was a lady in palative care. I sat with her every minute I got, even during my lunch break, because I didn't want her to pass alone. I didn't get my certificate, because I couldn't afford to pay the last fees. I went to work in a clothing store. 1day a lady came up to me and asked me what I was doing there, and told me that I don't belong there, I was so shocked the way she went on. I was about to go back at her when she opened her bag wrote her number down and told me to use her as a reference to get work as a carer, as I just had to work as a carer. I got a job as a carer without paperwork, because when they called her she gave me a glowing reference. It changed the track of my life. I will never forget her. Turns out she was the daughter of the lady I sat with. 1 of my favorite strangers. I never saw her again, but I will be forever grateful. I wish I can just thank her 1 last time.
Good! I already trust no one😀
In case I forget!!! Happy early birthdayyyyy!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I never thought I would be so thankful of a person being so nosey. Lol😂
Story number 7 is annoying. He cared enough about you to give you that money. The fact that he actually cared about you means he’s not going to put you in harms way. Do what he said to do in his memory and out of appreciation of him. Smh 🤦🏾♀️
ohhhh girrrrrr I couldn't have said it better myself!
The last story really stuck with me. Fir some readon i think of the line from the movie " the family that preys" alice said something like be mindful of who you talking to you might be entertaining an angel.❤
The guy who submitted the second story is a lunatic lol
Great stories read brilliantly as ever. Thank you. Id like to think that the attempted abduction story may help these people realise the wide and long lasting impact they have when they do these awful things. But I'm not sure it will.
Very bold of you to assume I trust anyone prior to listening.
Already trust no one.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BROTHER
I say keep the money, it's yours now, put it to good use and make him proud
Love you UA-camJoel! 🤘😝🎃
