The sound at the end of every story gives me a feeling a can’t explain.
It reminds me of a save screen noise during a horror game like resident evil or silent hill, weirdly nostalgic.
I feel the same…. Like it’s the light at the end of a dark tunnel.
It’s the nether portal sound in Minecraft
@MrsChrisRedfield I concur... re saveroom for sure
"I" can't explain..
Hoarding is a terrible mental illness. We were moving to a new farm, and saw an ad for free outside cats. We went to look, and the house had been condemned, and the lady is being forced out. We picked out a female cat, and three of her "healthiest" kittens. The kittens didn't make it the week to the vet appointment despite my best efforts. I got the mother vaccinated, and she lived a long, healthy life with us as a mouser. She would also adopt other barn kittens and teach other cats to mouse. Before you vilify me, farm cats had access to food and shelter, and were vaccinated yearly. They have a job, and earn their keep.
I hate how these animal rights people vilify folks who have barn cats. Smug, cosmopolitan little sh*ts need to mind their own business regarding rural life.
That so bitter sweet. Thank you for being a good person
I think barn cats are wonderful. Cats have been partnering with humans since way back when...they would help us keep our home/environment safe from rats, mice and other troublesome pests, and we give them food, safety and love (when they want it lol!). It's just like hunting dogs...the cats have a job that is natural and enjoyable to them! People who comment negatively about barn cats are just being ignorant! Thanks for saving all the cats you have adopted throughout the years!👍
Thanks!

Hi Inca ✌🏽
That little statue from the first story must have been an extremely rare historical piece. They probably could have sold it for hundreds of thousands of dollars if this guy was so excited to be getting such a deal on it.
Well yeah, of course it is "extremely rare" if it's the only one of its kind like the guy said.
Or it's not a true story which is far more likely
Primate productions 😉
Yeah or the guy could have cut his throat and took it! Maybe a couple grand might have saved his life!
Odjection; speculation, lack of foundation.
That first story was probably about Ku-ka’ili-moku - the ‘land snatcher’ or ‘island eater’ deity/idol. One sold at auction a while back for $7.5 million dollars. If this is the figure or similar that he sold to that guy for $2,000, I bet they’ll feel sick, if they ever find out. Lol
Thanks for this I was just about to go on a Google mission to figure out what it was! X
Thank you so much! The first story really made me very curious about what that idol was!
Any more information on what this idol statue is ? And what it does ect ? Just ANY more info please ? X
Awesome work bud. Love listening to you falling asleep. I been trying out other narrators trying to find more paranormal compilation videos.
@@welsh.truth.dragon3914 Ku is known as the god of strength, war and healing, and is one of the 4 great gods along with Kanaloa, Kane, and Lono.
Just got home from a long day at the beach with friends and family...
Had the best time playing with my little boy's in the lake...
Got bath time and clothes ready for school tomorrow...
This video was perfect timing!
The babies husband are exhausted, so I get some me time!
Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday 💛
Bless you and your life, I hope for many more good days to come
@@FactStorm Same to you💞
@Sam Mc'Edd Oops lol!
@Tommie Girl
I got two little ones as well. Feel ya there on the “me time” lol 😁
Your babies have husbands?
Had a horrible fever and listening to this made it more bearable. Thank you Let's Read.
I can't imagine the fever dreams you probably had listening to this!
Hell yeah! LR hits us all with 22 bad ass stories to help get people through the night shift,or just some stories to help people get some good sleep. Thanks again for the awesome content!

Oh let's do this we got a long one here. This will be good
That's what she said. 😏

Repeats dude. That’s all they are
Joel you are in a whole other league altogether. You make things so much better and easier with what you put out! I sleep to let’s read and listen for chores or when running lots of errands. I love the short story format it’s easy to jump in and out. I appreciate you so much and if I ever saw you irl would give you a big hug!
I do chores sleep and WORK to these stories
Especially these long ones They make time go buy wayyyyy faster
@@kapmadetee436 zzzzzz
npc comment
The scuba story is honestly terrify.
Thank you for these videos. They help me get to sleep nightly.
Yeah, that one really gave me the creeps!!!
great stuff🤪
These were just some excellent stories! Their quality plus your great reading voice makes your channel a true cut above the rest. Thank you for all your hard work!
If someone offers you THOUSANDS instead of the few dollars you planned on selling it for maybe do an ounce of research or get it appraised and find it’s real value. And meeting at night??? First guy was just not smart 😂
😂😂For real…was thinkin that same thing
How is he going to search for it on google? Its an old statue his granfather got overseas decades ago.
@@iuhsdihdslifuvholuidfh Google is not the only place where you can search for info!
@@queenb1119 What would you recommend? What words would you use when searching? If you didn't know what it was or what it was supposed to look like or didn't have a clue where it was from or wasn't even sure what it was made of??
Y'all must be pretty young if you think Google is the only way to get information. 😅
Lets Read is quickly becoming my fav storytelling channel.
I think it's great that he has no disruptive commercials.
I listened to them all!! Almost!! XD
It’s the only way I can fall asleep
I agree. Recently I’ve delved into other story telling channels, straying away from my norms and I found this channel, been loving it 👍
Mortis media and lets read are the best out there.
That 2nd story is really sad about the scammer. The scariest things in real life are not ghosts and supernatural stuff, but regular people who seem like anyone else but have no conscience whatsoever. It's genuinely scary to think about that sometimes.
It’s a bit silly. Only a karen would “report” a scammer to the police over a 100 dollar xbox lol
@@DemonratsRevil I thought the same, he was going to give it for free so who cares
@@DemonratsRevilare are standard sample 😅in assess 😅😅
The OP needs to calm down. Wow, you got scammed by a FB Marketplace scammer, like half the people in the world. Big deal, get over it.
Omg the story of the coffeemaker is my absolute nightmare! I would have died 😨 I am loving all these amazing stories and your voice is a bonus.
I’m hearing this right now and I want to toss my coffee maker…
@@Justsayfetch 😨
OMG everytime I use my Keurig I think of the coffeemaker story!
"A mix of a frog and a man in the process of giving birth to a pineapple."
Me: "Huh?"
Lol
Lmao me too
i was so confused lol
That scuba diving story is terrifying. Just imagine some guy that stalks scuba diving teams and then picks out the beginners to try and manipulate them into baisically killing themselves by accident. That sounds like something Johan would do 😩
P
Ga
2 and 1/2 hours of Joel reading stories this evening? Yes, please! Thanks, Joel! Have a great week all! 😊💜💙💚💛❤
Stop trying to be cool calling him Joel. He's not your friend. He's Lets Read. Lol sad
@@grandadmiralthrawn5517 Lol most people know his real name at this point and call him as such
I fall asleep to your narrations almost every night, thank you.
I just took a nap listening to this one, and I had some really weird and creepy dream lol
@Sam Mc'Edd No not all of us. I prefer to be awake for them lol
Joel I can honestly say that every time I watch your videos or watch your live streams all of the buttersock cult has cared. I can't even tell you how much I appreciate the buttersock cult being there for me when I was grieving over my father's death. Joel I wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart the buttersock cult is the greatest cult out there and I'm honored to be a member of it. Joel you and I are and ever will be buttersock cult members for life.
What is buttersrtock
@@smvhjo6hg371a cult, apparently.
Hi, what is buttersock?
Well this doesn’t sound weird…
It's a hard sweet😂
Ever since I found your channel, I always put one of your videos on before bed and it has really helped me fall asleep more consistently
I can't sleep w out it
Same! Been falling asleep to this channel for years now.
My sister met physic at a bar once. The lady told her the guy she was seeing, who was in prison, was using her for money. There was no way she could have known all that
(I believe in psychics and the beyond) but Wait so the guy she was seeing was already in prison ? And you believe she couldn’t have know the guy was using your sister for money ?
@@gabie.carmona don't think the psychic knew all that lol...however sis should have known
Hope ur sis pulled her head out her ass real fast and dumped the dude in prison.?
Yea and the part your sister didn’t realize is that she had probably just been telling someone to her left that her bf was in prison, and the psychic waited their turn to jump in and tell her about her life.
Gullible people are the ones who psychics love. Trust me, I know one. It’s all tricks.
@@gabie.carmona how would the psychic know she was seeing someone who was in prison?
Omg! My mother in law found a cockroach nest in her coffee machine! 😩 The scary part is that it was brand new, she had only had it a couple days when she noticed little bugs crawling around it and yes opened it up to find it full of roaches!! 🤮 I actually wondered if other people had that happen and got more than a new coffee machine for Christmas, a roach infestation also 😖 that is so awful!
EW The last thing I want is for there to be freaking roaches in my coffee machine. I'm hella scared of roaches.
OMG 😳 yuck 🤢
Since when cockroaches eat plastic???
@@xminusone1 who said so?
@@xminusone1 its the cocoa dude. There's this sweet salty aroma that coffee emits. Its like fucking cocaine to these things.
The voice is easy on the ears but smooth to hear.
Pronunciations are on point. What else could you ask for.
I was not intentionally listening to this. I'd fallen asleep listening to a different Let's Read, and this just auto played later while i was sleeping. I was these having bizarre dreams, so crazy, and he was narrating the dreams, I woke up covered in sweat. As I started to focus on what he was saying in the story playing, I realized he's describing what I'd heard in my dreams. I went back to the beginning of that story and listened, and I WAS dreaming the story he was reading. Exactly word, like a weird wild movie with a 1st person narrator with corresponding wild images. It was the one with the guy and the old guitar of his dad's. Then I saw the title of this....😅 Pretty cool!
Thanks for making these! They're great to have on and help me fall asleep on nights I have insomnia. I'd never dreamed the stories before, so that was interesting.
Thank u so much 🙏🏼U put my daughter and I to sleep every night, My daughter Anastasia is 29 years old and is in the hospital in San Antonio tx. Trying to get a bone marrow transplant, She is battling Aml Luekemia. Thank u again 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Just stumbled upon this comment. Hoping everything went well ❤
@@curlscurlseverywhere thank u so much for your comment, but my daughter passed away this past Halloween 💔💔
I’m so sorry for your loss ❤️🩹💔❤️🩹💔
Awe I'm so sorry to hear about your daughter 💔 sending you love & cuddles from Scotland 🩷
@@mandyjohnstone245 thank you so much, I miss my daughter so much, a mother's pain never stops 💔💔
That last one never heard that story before Definitely gave me chills. It was told so respectively!!! Fantastic stories!!!!
Listening while being stoned 🌜🌚 best feeling ever 🫂💫 goodnight homies
The opening sound effect scared my cat
I’m loving the background music 🎶♥️
The statue story !! You told this before and it interested me so much I remember it so specifically
Love to listen to your stories. But especially at night. I know, it seems like a backhanded compliment, saying your voice puts me to sleep.... but for someone like me, it's an absolute blessing!!!! Thank you for all the work you do. I appreciate you!!!
Same,sleep like a baby listening to these! ❤️
Thank you ! There has been nothing on all day now I can listen and clean 🧼 my house 🏡 😁
Sweet dreams everyone , and as always thank you Joel 💋♥️
I ❤️ Squawk you!!
Hi
Thank you for the videos
Sweet dreams 💙💤
@@thehawk7064 I squawk you more ♥️💋
Wow that guitar story reminds me of the story of how Billy Strings found his father's guitar and bought it back for him.
Played this twice while I was half asleep w/o looking at the title and had some fucked up dreams. Definitely going to watch again.
omg i knew it was gonna be roaches!! 🤢🤢🤢🤮 i bought a cheap laptop from fb marketplace years ago. it didn’t have the removable battery so it had to be plugged in to use. i finally got around to ordering a battery and sat down at my KITCHEN TABLE and took the thing apart. i immediately noticed a weird smell of like beer and bananas, which was just very strange but whatever. opened it up and it’s FULL of cockroaches. baby cockroaches that were like melted to the circuit board. immediately stuck it in a ziplock freezer bag, duct tapped it all and threw it out in the dumpster. i guess they are attracted to the heat of electronics or something. ugh. nightmare fuel.
Ugh :/
Omg absolutely disgusting
brilliant timing my guy 💜 time to clock off for the night
‘Why are you laughing?’
‘You fool. You gave me the one thing I’ve been looking for! You gave me the statue! At a steal no less. You have absolutely no clue the chaos a butterfly can cause with one fell swoop!’
‘Whatever you say man, thanks for the $1000’
Raining dark night ; my favorite setting to listen to you.
Woohoo! Two hours of stories! Thanks for the holiday treat, Joel!
npc comment
@@sillyratface What is "npc comment?" Lol....what does that mean?
Thanks Joel. Goodnight everyone.
ive been telling my husband my dreams recently and he said "you know you dream of being chased by murderers because of those stories you listen to in your sleep right?" and im like idc i love it i get to star in my own horror movie every night😂
So pleased about this treat! 🇬🇧♥️🇬🇧♥️
✨✨✨✨
My situation wasn't quite as strange as the first story, however, the whole timing thing is something I had to put my foot down with once. I had some baby items I was selling and wanted to meet in the busy grocery store parking lot right in front of the cameras. Like just a few steps from the front door. I had this one couple offer more money if I was willing to meet them after 10 pm after they supposedly got off work. Nope. My life is worth more than used baby furniture. I told them during busy daylight hours or nothing. They either couldn't or wouldn't so I sold it to the next person on the list.. During busy daylight hours with no problem 😉
Smart!
The Story of the Guitar would make a great Movie.....Crazy how true the predictions would be 😮😮😮
Anyone else think the author of story 1 recently watched the Brady bunch in Hawaii? 😂
I Love the opening music, it gave me goosebumps just now as I'm outside my house looking for my cat, and it's totally dark tonight, no moonshine, it kinda freaked me out but I love it at the same time...😬
The story around 1:11 sounds like the scary video where a girl got kidnapped and you can hear her screaming. It’s so unsettling and scary to hear.
At 1:11 they are talking about the family bringing all the grandpa's stuff and dropping it off...nothing at all to do with a girl screaming in getting kidnapped
@@PrimateProductions whoops I meant an hour not a minute.
@@ellengabel oh lol...sorry.🙂
@@ellengabel you write it like this 01:01:11 or 01:11:00 not sure which you meant but you do hours then minutes then seconds
Holy smokes, this is awesome ✌️
You're such a hard worker, plus the chilling app.
Take care 🤗
Is it me or I've heard these stories already. At least the first 3-4 so far lol probably a good thing I've listened to each one your videos few times each lol
Ikr, I thought it was deja vu when I heard "copypasta-ed" in the second story, came to see the comments
Yep he keeps repeating them :/
abt to go to sleep listening to this, goodnight you guys.
I work 2am til 9am min through Friday and I love listening to you!
🗣Gracias por fín Let's Read❤❤❤❤❤
HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!!!!
Love these long ones. Thanks Joel. Always appreciated. 👍
Been waiting up for this!
Lets Read, I love your stories and your voice is super Amazing, every Day and Night you are my friend ❤️
This is so relaxing thank you. Greetings from England ❤
Love your show💕
Love your stories and narrations.
This is a masterpiece of a video, not only does it keep you invested for the whole video but enlightens you in your life. For so long my thoughts have only been about this artwork, neigh I say... the perfect video. African children weep at the thought of being able to watch this video and the strongest men are crushed upon the width of what this video holds... the truth... not only have I longed for this masterpiece but it has consumed me. It is me. Thank you. Thank you so so much.
Your flowery style of writing stinks of a deep rooted need for attention
I love it when the stories go into my dreams
🎉❤🎉been scratching at my phone screen on the refresh button hoping for a vid drop before my midday nap 🎉❤🎉
Is this entire episode a repeat? I've been listening for a while so I expect one or two maybe per episode but this one it seems like literally every single one is one I've heard before and I haven't been listening for THAT long
Yes he has done all of these on his channel in the past.
And they are not scary, like at all. Interesting, but definitely not scary
The longer videos are compilations of previous stories that he uploads for his podcast (as far as I'm aware, anyway)
He does these longer story's ..repeats or not specifically for those of us that enjoy his voice and helps us sleep. Personally I love the longer ones....repeats and all. He uploads NEW content 3 days a week...that's alot if time effort and work ....I appreciate it....as does MOST of the channels fans/aubs
@@ashleybrown1666 the video is longer but the stories are not. The OP did not say that they didn't like the longer ones but instead simply asked if these stories had been done before. It's great that you like them....everyone has a right to express their own opinion here it's just too bad that some people feel it necessary to try to bully those whose opinions differ from their own. Guess what? Just because someone hates to hear the same stories more than once it does not mean they don't appreciate listening to this channel! Some people like to actually _listen_ to the stories instead of just sleeping through them...but there is nothing wrong with either one!
Try not to be so passive aggressive and such a brown nose (ie, an ass kisser)!!🙂
Thanks for including the blackout ripper (Gordon F. Cummins). His crimes are horrible enough that I am surprised he hasn't received more attention.
Been listening to this channel for 4 hours now. Evidently I'm hooked lol!
I had a neighbor literally just like the gerbil lady except hers were cats. When she finally got moved into a nursing home, it took people in hazmat suits WEEKS to get everything cleaned up. 🤮
For the story starting at 1:22:51, as a single woman I can see how the lady who was trying to help might have been genuine in her efforts, but upon discovery of the husband maybe felt suddenly unsafe, as the husband had thus far kept himself concealed and unacknowledged until the reveal. Obviously I was not there and cannot attest to the vibes the lady was giving off, and the chances are that she really was part of a trafficking ring, given Vegas and all that.
Wonderful stories thank you...I have to say the music you used for each ending is scary on its own...
Dude you're so awesome 😎 thanks for your hard work 🙃💯💯💯
Well I don't know about hard work. These are all old stories...all he did was put them together
Joel pls try to drop videos this long more often I can’t sleep Litteraly without you’re stories ! I’ve seen every single vid!!! Pls n ty !!
ANTHOLOGY STORIES!!! ive been trying to think of the damn word. Joel you are the Best Anthology Podcast. Ever watch any anthology movies? You would love em.
The story about the old Martin guitar sounds really close to Billy Strings and his whole life story!
Goodnight everyone hope you sleep well
Man with all the stories this man must receive and still posts re uploads baffles me
Exactly
Some of the stories were repeated from previous videos… still fall asleep to it though.
Lovely & Intriguing💙
Yay! I’m so early! Notifications on and I couldn’t be a happier! Thank you for all you do ❤️
New intro is 🔥
🔥
YOU KNEW I HAD 2 1/2 hour drive huh??😭😭♥️
Hi love this channel so much. You have such a great amazing way of reading these stories. Amazing. You tell them so well. Thankyou. For these amazing scary stories love them so much 😊❤
Love the intro!!!!!!!
The idol from the first story sounds a lot like he sold a statuette of the Lovecraftian being known as Tsathoggua.
Hiya from 2023! Love you UA-camJoel! 🤘😝🎃
The first story reminded me about wh n my ex husbands grandmother died. She'd been very sick. She had two daughters and three sons. While everyone was mourning and attending the funerals the one son that never visited her and his family were going through her house. The grandmother was one that hid money around the house, in her yarn bag, wall hole...etc. The family wasn't sure why his kids and wife never attended any of the services but found out when stuff that was worth money was missing from the house suddenly and that brother already checked out of his hotel room and was headed back to Ohio. Greed was more important than supporting his siblings.
I think I may just wake the dead
How awful
YESSSSSS! Just in time for my birthday 😍
Happy birthday,bro
@@kruser00 thank you 😊
I love long stories like this it takes me awhile to fall asleep so long stories like this help me sleep. Thank you
20:00 she put her face on her Facebook page? Who does that? I've been on for about 13 years now and not once put my face on. My dog's face is my profile pic right now, I change to a different pic a few times a year. I've never been questioned about 'no face' pic.
I don’t Either
Mine has a photograph of my grandmother aged 5, with my great grandmother seated with my grans baby brother on her lap
Edit* the photo dates from around 1910.
Love listening to these whenever they come on. For bedte though I have now switched to Stitcher so i dont have loud ads shocking me awake as i doze off 😁
The Great Joel is my goto narrator 📚🎧
Ditto broski 💯
Joel's voice, narration,5 ⭐👍🙂!
I am always painting & creating, often into the wee hours - prefer listening to great stuff while working and after countless shows, topics I've become very selective; poor verbal skills, nasal or monotone😴 mispronunciation and lax diction, I just. . . won't bother. Thank you, Joel, you're the Best!! 🥰
Sweet! Gr8 end to my birthday weekend! Thanku Joel! 👉🤘💯
Thank you for being here Let's Read ❤️🥰🕯️📖😘
Cool opening music Joel 😃
22:00 “That facebook market place thing” 🤣🤣🤣!!! 22:40
❤❤❤❤. Beautiful voice as always
Love the new intro, man! One of the best ones yet (if not the best, along with the skeletal soldiers witnessing a nuclear explosion)! The sound of this with that visual would work greatly as well, I think!
I’ve always liked that one too 😊
Yes, no kidding! =^) Of course all of his intros are fantastic, but I've always been partial to these two especially!
I listen to these during work a lot.
