i will say that unfortunately the "modeling" tactic is common and more so used on young teens and girls in 18y through early 20s. the most common method of child abduction (outside of custody conflicts) is done through fake "baby sitting" fake daycare's and most egregiously done in large malls or heavily crowded areas like fairs and themeparks. oddly enough they go by the rule of "no eyes, snatch and run" and much scarier "hundreds of eyes, pretend like its yours". worst cases ive ever read are when a woman comes up to the biological parent (especially if its a lone male) and acts like the biological parent is the baby theif. this was information instilled into me as a very very young girl in an effort to keep me from these situations both in childhood and adulthood :(
My friend has a brother-in-law who offered his photography services on _Craigslist._ For high school students. And _only females._ We're still waiting to see him pop up on the news one day so we can cash in on the _Crimestoppers_ $2,000 reward.
I had a “photographer” try to approach me and ask me to model for him in a hotel lobby in Turkey when I was there on holiday, he showed me some photos from his supposed portfolio and it was just random girls in bikinis posing provocatively on the beach. Thankfully my mom intervened and sternly told him I was underage and would definitely not be modeling for him, and he just walked away. It was pretty creepy.
Since I was by an adult at the daycare I went to, I agree with you. I've lived a hellish life, mostly due to ripple effects of it. I'd love nothing more than do what he did, to the adults at that daycare too.
As someone who grew up in a small town in southern Missouri, can confirm that the trip to Walmart has potential to be the most eventful thing of your week😹😹
My sister thinks it's weird that I listen to these stories to help me get ready to go to sleep but there's a whole community of people who have the same idea as me lol
The dude who killed the diddlers is a real hero. I’m not trying to condone violence, but I personally feel that diddlers have lost their rights as a human for their actions. They shouldn’t be allowed to exist after doing the horrible things they do to children.
Looking at children, their purity and innocence I can't agree more. If you harm children you don't deserve to live. You are wasting oxygen and impacting the world negatively. Nothing is worst than crimes against children and the worst culprits of all are our governement officials and Elite people especially in the US. 800 000 children go missing in the US EVERY YEAR and it has been linked to government secret operations. Just research the Franklin Cover up and the Madeleine McCann cases. These are the tip of the whole iceberg that is child trafficking.
I live right next to a Walmart and there are some really weird folk there. Met a woman who had a silicone baby which is the kind women who lose their infants get to cope with it. The weird thing about this woman is her only son was right next to her. She got it to cope with the fact she hadn't been able to care for him when he was an infant because she was a crack head. The dude came back to give his mom a second chance to be in his life and she decided to get a fake baby because she couldn't cope the fact he was grown. I felt bad for the dude.
@@tablescissors something a lot of people dont seem to get is that not every woman should or wants to be a mother. about half of us are not instilled with the "instinct" or "its a mom thing" bullshit. perhaps the silicone baby *IS* the safest option for all of them, mother and child included. i could be a parent but my parenting skills are comparative to a guardian or father-esq involvement in the childs life. id be supportive and helpful sure but not necessarily "nurturing, coddling, or motherly"

I work the graveyard shift, I set (let's read, urmaker, or many other youtubers) playlist, along with an ambient sound and listen throughout the night. Absolutely the best.
One thing I love about Joel AKA Let's Read is his stories are usually around an hour at least. Alot of times more. Mr Creeps, Let's Read, and Slumber Reads are my top 3 scary story narrators in no particular order Mr Creeps will put out 16 min stories sometimes. Those are way too short
Let's Read, Swamp Dweller and Darkness Prevails are my favorites. Corpse Husband was my all time favorite. So when he stopped narrating, I was insanely upset lol.
The Father and his little girl story, OMG! That was a GREAT! Story! It was so true to a good soul, cause the twist and turns in it, at any given moment he could have went the wrong way! But in the end, well, I’ll not give it away, lol. First time listening to Walmart stories lol. True or not the writer on that one has wonderful talent!
These stories are so creepy but they do make the loss of an hour a little easier to look forward to for the next few months. As always, Thank you Joel for all you do. Take care and stay safe everyone! 🥰❤️
Let's Read I love you're narration of these stories. Mr Nightmare used to be my favorite, but now you are. I am a Sheriff Deputy & during night shift I'll play you're videos while I'm waiting for calls. Thank you for keeping me company.
I seriously can't get enough of these, I literally watched all the videos and get happy when I see notifications to the new videos. Keep up the great work.

I hope you feel better soon. Hopefully you've seen a Dr and have meds and possibly an inhaler to help you get through it. Sending a prayer for your recovery.
If I was u I would go see a doctor. I had the same thing and I ended up having coivd and pneumonia and had to be intubated for almost two weeks. Hope u feel better soon.
Ugh I wish I would've known you were doing walmart horror stories! I have a crazy ass one! Let me know if you would be interested in hearing it for next time.
@Heather Hancock I can add it here for everyone who stops by no problem! I worked at the norwalk Walmart (3164) in California from 2010-2013. We had the best "only seen at Walmart" weirdos, being there is a mental institution in the area that would release patients that are unfortunately no longer funded, but this isn't about them. I worked in customer service with this girl "T" for anonymity who was dating cart pusher Freddie. At first, he was a gentleman who would hold the door open for her, etc. But things changed quickly, and he began stalking her, so she quickly decided she was no longer interested and ended their little fling. He was livid and would follow her places, where she finally reached out and advised with HR and eventually, he was fired. She began seeing him driving around after work waiting for her to walk to her car for confrontation, so T would have some burly guy walk her out. Freddie got the hint and eventually stopped creeping. Time goes by, and Freddie just decides to go to Chicago for schooling. Honestly, he was like a memory in the past, and we all forgot about him. But some time later, he came back, he gained weight, and his demeanor had changed drastically (I'm pretty good at reading vibes and people since my intuition is strong- call me a miss cleo without the fraud) I hung out with a group of guys and we would just sesh out. Freddie was the stoner type, and one night, we all got together when he arrived back from chi town. He was extremely quiet even before smoking, to the point where I was like, "Freddie, are you good?" He answered shyly with a yes. The night went on, we were higher than a kite, and that was that. A few weeks later, my homies mentioned that they attempted to smoke with Freddie again, but he said he would rob them and act like he was joking. My friends didn't think it was funny and stopped talking to him. So months passed, and a really close friend of mine "L" advised she started messing around with him. My first initial reaction was NO. (Please don't take this offensively to anyone out there) but she's an SSBBW and NOT Freddie's type. So, I questioned the entirety of the situation and their relationship. She mentioned it was fun, and that he told everyone of "how good she was at doing that thing" and I did not think that was cute or okay in any way, but of course she wasn't interested in hearing my concerns and went about with her little fling. Time goes by, and she hits me up to inquire if one of my friends would ever steal from her. I vouched for him personally since I had left him in my room several times by himself and nothing came up missing. I guess she bought a brand new phone and camera that came up stolen, and after advising her my friend would never, she said she knew it was Freddie. What he didn't know was that her photos were emailed to her when taken, and she started receiving photos of Freddie holding a new weapon he just purchased. Glock. I told her to stay away from him and take the L. She didn't. The next time I saw her, she said she woke up two days later in his bedroom after a night of "passion" beat up after being drugged by him, and THAT was the final straw. Now, here is the just of the story. Freddie ended up getting caught robbing his own friends house. After getting jumped by his own people, he was finally arrested. What everyone didn't know was that he had a warrant out for his arrest and was being sought out by Chicago's police force. While Freddie was in Chicago, he fell in love with a girl named michelle while studying in school. They ended up living together with her dog. One night, a few of the neighbors mentioned they heard some noises and banging coming from their apartment but didn't think anything of it. Freddie killed Michelle by some kind of blunt force trauma and stuffed her body into an air mattress under his bed. He ended up sleeping in the room ontop of her for several days before taking their dog, dropping it off at his sister's before hopping on a train and coming back to Cali where I then shared a blunt with him (ugh)They found her some time later because of the smell, and searched for him, not realizing he fled to California. Within this time he left Facebook statuses stating, "It's only murder if they find the body; otherwise it's a missing person. Just a thought...". I believe he received 20 years to life. Feel free to scope out the full story. His full name is Faramarz Bakhshi.
@@strangestfruit WOA!! I just now read the story. Holy CRAP!!!!! Seriously, OMG. Thanks for that story. Probably took a long time to type out. Dam, girl. Crazy!!
To the guy of that “modeling agency” story; if it’s true; you’re still an amazing father. I’m sure taking a life can weight heavy on the soul but think of the countless children you protected. Child predators are scum and don’t deserve to be treated as humans.
How do these superstore horror stories NEVER get old?! Always walk in and out with groups, if possible. If alone and potentially feel like you’re being watched, pretend to be on the phone and say where you are out loud. No joke this has saved human kidnapping, rapes, muggings, etc.
This one could have been titled "6 horrifying Walmart Stories to Help you Lose Your Faith in Humanity" and it would've been accurate. Thanks for the video, Joel!
😂 I lost my faith in humanity long ago 😞 TBH, when someone does a good thing for someone, I’m surprised and I have a feeling of “awe, what a nice person”
Oh and also they have the best bathrooms, cause if they didn't than people wouldn't spend 6 hour's at a time sitting in the stall & sharing their burnt pill flavored air freshener with all the other bathroom visitor's. My back pain always seems to vanish each time I visit a Wal-Mart bathroom if I take a couple of deep breaths. Now that's service.
I worked at Walmart 20 years ago over Xmas. I worked overnights in a place that closed at 10pm and opened at 7am so I didn't have to deal with customers. It wasn't all bad buy not something I wanted to do forever.
I worked overnights in a 24hr store. Usually it was ok. The worst was when a gunman went into the store. My guess was a pissed off former employee looking for a specific manager. No one was shot and he got out of a door in the backroom.
@@pamelameckley5040 to this day, my mom still calls my boyfriend superman because he ran down my aisle yelling "run! There's a man with a gun!" I didn't react fast enough and he snatched me up and ran carrying me 😆.
You definitely should have thrown in the murder of cherish periwinkle at a Jacksonville walmart. It's probably the most heinous crime I've ever heard about in my life. The medical examiner had to take a break during her testimony after being a medical examiner for many years if that tells you anything about how bad it was
To the father that served immediate justice for all those children that were victims....you are amazing, a hero and your daughter is blessed to have you. God bless you.
That story with the guy finishing off the predators and tipping off the cops it's pretty cool if you can find stories like that to mix it in with the horrific tails that would be awesome bro.
The second story...I lived in Lake Charles when this happened. The girl who died if I remember correctly was 15. I heard (rumor) that the parents of the girl who did stabbing knew their daughter went to that Walmart to confront the other girl... The girl who did the stabbing was 13 and from what I read had 3 other girls with her (ages 12-14).
I may be a few years late, but for story 2, apparently, all those involved with the stabbing were arrested. The stabber was charged with second degree, and her associates were charged as principals to second degree.
Years ago I was stocked at a Walmart while grocery shopping. I’ll never forget that feeling of someone following me. It made my completely aware of my surroundings at that point. Sadly, I’m not that shocked about these Walmart stories.
If someone doesn't react at all to being tazed, it could be a low sweat count disorder that allows the person to be able to hold the charge for a while without any change in behavior. Could also be in something?
Story 3 - FYI, that's a sign of addiction. Again, I see this stuff so casually mentioned in these stories, stories worshipped by those of us younger...but when you've known ppl personally like this and what it means, where it goes...it doesn't get a pass, it's real, and it's worth trying to warn (or identify). May you find help or a less toxic crutch for ur stress.
Let’s read I love you, I love you sfm I was like “hmmmm I haven’t watched a scary narration In abt a year so why not go down that rabbit hole again and I was like ima look up my fav (idk why it’s my fav but it is) true Walmart horror stories” and when I looked it up and saw that let’s read my fav narration RUclipsr did a video 5 hours ago of Walmart ones i freaked out thank you!!
Joel is always on time thanks for the video and thank you buttersock cult of your support in Stephanie's pregnancy and a little update on Stephanie's pregnancy. Stephanie will do her 3rd ultrasound on April 8th.
That app sounds wonderful…..sound and frequency while listening. I’d be asleep in a minute. Nothing like beautiful sound in your headphones to help drift off to sleep.
The creepy photographer story was one of the worst fake stories I’ve ever seen on this channel. I have a strong suspicion that the first half of it was real, but after the guy rejected the offer, nothing actually happened and he went into a fantasy about how he took down a whole child abuse network John Wick-style. Ignoring how insane it is to kill 3 people in quick succession without any prior experience or having a mental breakdown, everything this man did was poorly thought out. Lighting the building on fire was an extremely dumb thing to do. What if children were still inside there? For someone who loves protecting children so much, he had no issue burning down a building that may have had children or other innocent people trapped inside. It sounds like he didn’t even bother to check at any point. Also the place only had a single security guard? Really? They potentially have to deal with unruly parents, children, undercover cops, etc. Either they’re extremely dumb criminals, or this story is fake. And how does a burned down building not make the news? It might not be big news, but it would still pop up somewhere. Buildings don’t just randomly combust. There would be an investigation, police would find out someone manually lit the fire, and it would most likely make headlines as the police try to find the culprit. The “I don’t care if you believe me” sentiment _really_ seems like the person writing this is desperately trying to convince people this is real. Any sane person would probably regret the toll this would take on their psyche and try to leave out as many details as possible. The language and details they use to write sounds way more like a fiction novel intended to engage an audience than a real man confessing their disturbing secret to an internet community. I don’t hate it. If anything, I think it’s hilarious that a confession about committing a triple homicide and taking down a national child abuse network is on a video about Walmart horror stories lol.
You have a lot of time on your hands to “review “ short YT stories. I’m sorry, not trying to be rude, it’s not a full length movie. I think it’s pretty cool for a short YT story. How many have you written? Surely your a professional.
@@kelleiskuriouskollections This took me 5 mins to write, not much time really. I’m a writing hobbyist so yeah I’ve written quite a few short stories and fictional novels. I also frequent writing subreddits, websites, advice channels, etc. Some of them specifically related to realistically-written horror because I love those stories. And who says I can’t review stories like these? Any kind of media can be critiqued, not just feature-length movies. I find it helpful to pick apart what works and what doesn’t with anything I read/consume because it helps me identify what to avoid with my own work. The story itself isn’t “written” badly. The prose and details are pretty good. What I was pointing out was the logical consistency of the writing, which is something a lot of amateurs forget to address.
@@lovelygirl1730 Yes, because writing a couple paragraphs totally means I have no life. Do you have that same energy for movie reviewers, book reviewers, or game reviewers? If you don’t want to read that many words, then don’t. I’m not forcing you to do anything.
This channel is helping to get me through one of the lowest points in my life. It’s been coming on for the last six years and I stayed the course, even through Covid and my career. What broke me? The vet telling me I should consider hospice care for my cat who has slept next to me the last 10 years. I asked the vet: “there has to be something to get her to eat and drink?” Vet changed the meds and she’s still with me and doing much better, and eating a lot as well. I’m using this time to decompress from the events of the last six years. So I listen to LR and sleep a ton. Thank you, Joel.
Since there is a Wal-mart Horror Stories sub-genre, is there other sub-genres that are unique to other department stores? For example, Target horror stories or like, Costco Horror Stories? Trader Joe's Horror Stories has an affluent ring to it lol.
The economic impact & the dissolution of the small business sector & how the world's reliance of shopping at Walmart in conjunction with Walmarts predatory & unethical business practice of eliminating competition by offerings prices other stores just can't come close to has virtually extinguished everyone shopping in a way that supports local families & the community. Which actually IS a horror story & soon everyone will find out how scary of an impact our inability to not take advantage of such low prices will be when our only choices for shopping are Walmart and Amazon, & then at that point they can charge whatever they want.
To the guy who killed the wall art dude and his sick buddies, I applaud you!💯👏💖 lots of bad things happened to me as a kid and now I have a baby and I can’t imagine anyone ever doing anything bad to her cuz I would definitely lose my mind. Thank you for getting rid of those dirt bags world needs more people like u who protect the children. 💕

She mentioned it was fun, and that he told everyone of "how good she was at doing that thing" and I did not think that was cute or okay in any way, but of course she wasn't interested in hearing my concerns and went about with her little fling.
Time goes by, and she hits me up to inquire if one of my friends would ever steal from her. I vouched for him personally since I had left him in my room several times by himself and nothing came up missing. I guess she bought a brand new phone and camera that came up stolen, and after advising her my friend would never, she said she knew it was Freddie. What he didn't know was that her photos were emailed to her when taken, and she started receiving photos of Freddie holding a new weapon he just purchased. Glock.
I told her to stay away from him and take the L. She didn't.
The next time I saw her, she said she woke up two days later in his bedroom after a night of "passion" beat up after being drugged by him, and THAT was the final straw.
Now, here is the just of the story.
Freddie ended up getting caught robbing his own friends house. After getting jumped by his own people, he was finally arrested. What everyone didn't know was that he had a warrant out for his arrest and was being sought out by Chicago's police force.
While Freddie was in Chicago, he fell in love with a girl named michelle while studying in school. They ended up living together with her dog. One night, a few of the neighbors mentioned they heard some noises and banging coming from their apartment but didn't think anything of it. Freddie killed Michelle by some kind of blunt force trauma and stuffed her body into an air mattress under his bed. He ended up sleeping in the room ontop of her for several days before taking their dog, dropping it off at his sister's before hopping on a train and coming back to Cali where I then shared a blunt with him (ugh)They found her some time later because of the smell, and searched for him, not realizing he fled to California. Within this time he left Facebook statuses stating, "It's only murder if they find the body; otherwise it's a missing person. Just a thought...". I believe he received 20 years to life.
Feel free to scope out the full story. His full name is Faramarz Bakhshi.
@@strangestfruit WOA!! I just now read the story. Holy CRAP!!!!! Seriously, OMG. Thanks for that story. Probably took a long time to type out. Dam, girl. Crazy!!
To the guy of that “modeling agency” story; if it’s true; you’re still an amazing father. I’m sure taking a life can weight heavy on the soul but think of the countless children you protected. Child predators are scum and don’t deserve to be treated as humans.
That Father is a hero! Give him a Medal of Honor.
@@skylarhillman1455Hell yeah!😎
I was just looking for something to fall asleep to and then I saw this video ❤️
How do these superstore horror stories NEVER get old?! Always walk in and out with groups, if possible. If alone and potentially feel like you’re being watched, pretend to be on the phone and say where you are out loud. No joke this has saved human kidnapping, rapes, muggings, etc.
That feel when I work at one. I'm always mildly paranoid bc a fellow employee was mugged in the parking lot at the end of her shift
@@laterlars Glad you’re staying safe! 🙌
Yes. Having a phone handy is one of the best things. There are just so many creeps!
@@laterlars That's awful!!! I'm sorry yall have to deal with that!!
Your voice is calming and relaxing to me. And, thank you for the stories, the last one they were taken by aliens.
As a CSA and trafficking survivor, I hope that one story is true, if so, I personally offer him a thank you.
You guys are a powerhouse with this Chilling App.
Absolutely amazing as usual, thank you!!
Great stories. I have insomnia so when I wake up in the night, I can always count on Let’s Read for great stories.
This one could have been titled "6 horrifying Walmart Stories to Help you Lose Your Faith in Humanity" and it would've been accurate. Thanks for the video, Joel!
😂 I lost my faith in humanity long ago 😞 TBH, when someone does a good thing for someone, I’m surprised and I have a feeling of “awe, what a nice person”
I'm so happy I live in Finland lol, no walmarts here
Lose faith? I never had any to begin with. People are the worst!
@@nirriii you have a whole other set of issues there. Not having a Walmart doesn’t matter.
Truth👍
Walmart; you’ll never find a greater hive of scum, villainy and great bargains.
How disgustingly true...
Walmart has the classiest clientele with the best fashion sence & execution, what are you talking about?
Oh and also they have the best bathrooms, cause if they didn't than people wouldn't spend 6 hour's at a time sitting in the stall & sharing their burnt pill flavored air freshener with all the other bathroom visitor's. My back pain always seems to vanish each time I visit a Wal-Mart bathroom if I take a couple of deep breaths. Now that's service.
@@dustinspeicher3390 My fear is to be stuck in a Walmart bathroom. Ugh.
I worked at Walmart 20 years ago over Xmas. I worked overnights in a place that closed at 10pm and opened at 7am so I didn't have to deal with customers. It wasn't all bad buy not something I wanted to do forever.
Worked customer service for over 11 years. It definitely isn't easy sometimes and Idk if I could do it now.
I worked overnights in a 24hr store. Usually it was ok. The worst was when a gunman went into the store. My guess was a pissed off former employee looking for a specific manager. No one was shot and he got out of a door in the backroom.
@@brittany9747 Glad no one was harmed but too bad they got away.
@@pamelameckley5040 to this day, my mom still calls my boyfriend superman because he ran down my aisle yelling "run! There's a man with a gun!" I didn't react fast enough and he snatched me up and ran carrying me 😆.
Bless you, Pammy. You've earned oil for your lamp, with THAT spent time. 😏
I hope with my whole heart that the vigilante dad story is true. That man needs a medal and some sort of ceremony to match.
You definitely should have thrown in the murder of cherish periwinkle at a Jacksonville walmart. It's probably the most heinous crime I've ever heard about in my life. The medical examiner had to take a break during her testimony after being a medical examiner for many years if that tells you anything about how bad it was
I just discovered your podcast and absolutely love listening to them

Hero
Rather story 5 was real or fake, it was great a great listen. Bravo
To the father that served immediate justice for all those children that were victims....you are amazing, a hero and your daughter is blessed to have you. God bless you.
That story was incredibly fake lol
Fake story dude
Vigilante dad is a hero deserving of a medal.
a medal for being a great writer because it, uhh, never happened.
Sweet dreams everyone and as always thank you Joel ♥️💋
Currently on my overnight shift at walmart, let's do this 💀
That story with the guy finishing off the predators and tipping off the cops it's pretty cool if you can find stories like that to mix it in with the horrific tails that would be awesome bro.
Story 5 should be made into a movie and Liam Neeson should play the Dad
Omg I was thinking the same thing 😁😁😉
Haha yeah that was pretty ridiculous
The dude is 69... But you could obviously rewrite it to him being a single grand dad... 😂
No, Bruce Willy
Who that hell feels relaxed when listening to a scary story let alone a true crime?… i always feel crazy anxiety and sympathy.
The second story...I lived in Lake Charles when this happened. The girl who died if I remember correctly was 15. I heard (rumor) that the parents of the girl who did stabbing knew their daughter went to that Walmart to confront the other girl... The girl who did the stabbing was 13 and from what I read had 3 other girls with her (ages 12-14).
Story number 5 is particularly enjoyable. Even if it's fictitious, I did very much like that one. But I certainly hope it's true.
Thank you lets read need some background noise and this was perfect
Right on time for my 40min drive back home
I may be a few years late, but for story 2, apparently, all those involved with the stabbing were arrested. The stabber was charged with second degree, and her associates were charged as principals to second degree.
I remember those little girls stabbing that other girl in Walmart. That was absolutely insane. It's pretty cool to hear you read a story about it.
Years ago I was stocked at a Walmart while grocery shopping. I’ll never forget that feeling of someone following me. It made my completely aware of my surroundings at that point. Sadly, I’m not that shocked about these Walmart stories.
If someone doesn't react at all to being tazed, it could be a low sweat count disorder that allows the person to be able to hold the charge for a while without any change in behavior. Could also be in something?
anytime let's read uploads, it's always a great day.
Perfect timing Let's Read!
The story about the photography CP scheme has me HYSTERICALLY CRYING. that man’s an unsung hero living with debilitating inexplicable grief and guilt.
Your channel "rocks" me to sleep 😊.
Every now and then I do dream something funky , but not terrible 😂❤❤
Having to go to Walmart is a horror story itself…
clocking IN a Wal-Mart is a horror story. ROFL.
My lovely wife Stephanie works at Walmart so she can relate to you.
@@MizBryteEyez I’m sure I clock in at target as a 2nd job can confirm it’s also a horror story…
I use the Walmart delivery app so I never have to go there in person. 😊😊
@THE REAL TYREE SNEED I suppose your right.
I’m currently watching this at work in Walmart while it’s thundering outside
I’ve got a Walmart horror story for you: I survived for 8 years. That was 8 years longer than I expected.
👍👍🤣🤣
I lasted 4 days...
My favourite often occurring lines in the show are: "he was standing there... smiling.." and "he started to become really ANGRY..." 😂
I appreciate you for showing me the chilling app
Is it a good app? Is it really worth the money
@@lovelygirl1730 I feel like it is a good app they have a bunch of stories good ones to and for the price I feel like its a bargain.
The vigilante story is one of my absolute favorites because they did what had to be done
Story 3 - FYI, that's a sign of addiction. Again, I see this stuff so casually mentioned in these stories, stories worshipped by those of us younger...but when you've known ppl personally like this and what it means, where it goes...it doesn't get a pass, it's real, and it's worth trying to warn (or identify). May you find help or a less toxic crutch for ur stress.
I’m actually listening to this while farming runes on Elden Ring.
Story 5 is 100% fan fiction....but it's a good story.
How do you know
@@lovelygirl1730 it's called common sense. It would be very easy to link the crime back to this person by the investigators.
Let’s read I love you, I love you sfm I was like “hmmmm I haven’t watched a scary narration In abt a year so why not go down that rabbit hole again and I was like ima look up my fav (idk why it’s my fav but it is) true Walmart horror stories” and when I looked it up and saw that let’s read my fav narration RUclipsr did a video 5 hours ago of Walmart ones i freaked out thank you!!
Perfect timing 🥺😍
Joel is always on time thanks for the video and thank you buttersock cult of your support in Stephanie's pregnancy and a little update on Stephanie's pregnancy. Stephanie will do her 3rd ultrasound on April 8th.
?
....who TF is Stephanie??? What in the world are you rn about??
@@LivingDeadGirl0702 Stephanie is my lovely wife, she is 3 months pregnant with our second child.
Congratulations to you both. ✋️
That app sounds wonderful…..sound and frequency while listening. I’d be asleep in a minute. Nothing like beautiful sound in your headphones to help drift off to sleep.
The creepy photographer story was one of the worst fake stories I’ve ever seen on this channel. I have a strong suspicion that the first half of it was real, but after the guy rejected the offer, nothing actually happened and he went into a fantasy about how he took down a whole child abuse network John Wick-style.
Ignoring how insane it is to kill 3 people in quick succession without any prior experience or having a mental breakdown, everything this man did was poorly thought out. Lighting the building on fire was an extremely dumb thing to do. What if children were still inside there? For someone who loves protecting children so much, he had no issue burning down a building that may have had children or other innocent people trapped inside. It sounds like he didn’t even bother to check at any point.
Also the place only had a single security guard? Really? They potentially have to deal with unruly parents, children, undercover cops, etc. Either they’re extremely dumb criminals, or this story is fake.
And how does a burned down building not make the news? It might not be big news, but it would still pop up somewhere. Buildings don’t just randomly combust. There would be an investigation, police would find out someone manually lit the fire, and it would most likely make headlines as the police try to find the culprit.
The “I don’t care if you believe me” sentiment _really_ seems like the person writing this is desperately trying to convince people this is real. Any sane person would probably regret the toll this would take on their psyche and try to leave out as many details as possible. The language and details they use to write sounds way more like a fiction novel intended to engage an audience than a real man confessing their disturbing secret to an internet community.
I don’t hate it. If anything, I think it’s hilarious that a confession about committing a triple homicide and taking down a national child abuse network is on a video about Walmart horror stories lol.
You have a lot of time on your hands to “review “ short YT stories. I’m sorry, not trying to be rude, it’s not a full length movie. I think it’s pretty cool for a short YT story. How many have you written? Surely your a professional.
@@kelleiskuriouskollections This took me 5 mins to write, not much time really. I’m a writing hobbyist so yeah I’ve written quite a few short stories and fictional novels. I also frequent writing subreddits, websites, advice channels, etc. Some of them specifically related to realistically-written horror because I love those stories.
And who says I can’t review stories like these? Any kind of media can be critiqued, not just feature-length movies. I find it helpful to pick apart what works and what doesn’t with anything I read/consume because it helps me identify what to avoid with my own work.
The story itself isn’t “written” badly. The prose and details are pretty good. What I was pointing out was the logical consistency of the writing, which is something a lot of amateurs forget to address.
@@kelleiskuriouskollections Amen to that. I was just thinking the same thing that person has no life
Girl I read all your comments please get a life
@@lovelygirl1730 Yes, because writing a couple paragraphs totally means I have no life. Do you have that same energy for movie reviewers, book reviewers, or game reviewers? If you don’t want to read that many words, then don’t. I’m not forcing you to do anything.
This channel is helping to get me through one of the lowest points in my life. It’s been coming on for the last six years and I stayed the course, even through Covid and my career. What broke me? The vet telling me I should consider hospice care for my cat who has slept next to me the last 10 years. I asked the vet: “there has to be something to get her to eat and drink?” Vet changed the meds and she’s still with me and doing much better, and eating a lot as well. I’m using this time to decompress from the events of the last six years. So I listen to LR and sleep a ton. Thank you, Joel.
Since there is a Wal-mart Horror Stories sub-genre, is there other sub-genres that are unique to other department stores? For example, Target horror stories or like, Costco Horror Stories? Trader Joe's Horror Stories has an affluent ring to it lol.
I have to say, I did not expect to hear the term "super saiyan" while listening to these stories.
Let’s read never disappoints ❤️
🌷So ready for this- work was.... THANK🐼YOU 🌷
Lets Read is the best! Keep up the great work Joel!
I wish story number 5 was real. We can always dream.
More Walmart stories! :D
The biggest Walmart horror story is the ridiculous low prices
The economic impact & the dissolution of the small business sector & how the world's reliance of shopping at Walmart in conjunction with Walmarts predatory & unethical business practice of eliminating competition by offerings prices other stores just can't come close to has virtually extinguished everyone shopping in a way that supports local families & the community. Which actually IS a horror story & soon everyone will find out how scary of an impact our inability to not take advantage of such low prices will be when our only choices for shopping are Walmart and Amazon, & then at that point they can charge whatever they want.
To the guy who killed the wall art dude and his sick buddies, I applaud you!💯👏💖 lots of bad things happened to me as a kid and now I have a baby and I can’t imagine anyone ever doing anything bad to her cuz I would definitely lose my mind. Thank you for getting rid of those dirt bags world needs more people like u who protect the children. 💕
Love to hear this on my way to sleep🙂💕
Love your channel and voice Joel! Big love from England X X X
Woah, that story with the triple homicide took a turn i wouldn't have imagined. Crazy that the dude wasn't ever caught or anything
Sounds like the 3 in the car had an alien encounter. The bright flash, the missing time
! Glad you all arent a Missing 411 story!
Keep the good work up love your videos
