My parents moved us away from Truth or Consequences in ‘97 where my dad was a police officer. Ray also tried picking my aunt up when her car had broken down after work. Luckily, my uncle was already on his way to get her so she didn’t go with him.
@@melissamoonchild9216 Many women are actually attracted to those arrogant, narcissistic traits. They mistaken it for confidence. Thank goodness your mom wasn't one of them.
The first story is why I taught my female martial arts students the most brutal self-defence and fighting techniques that are designed not only to defend but to kill and maim.
@@EEM253 I taught a style of Silat and I'm in Malaysia. You may be able to find one of our schools or something similar near you. I don't know where you are, so I'm afraid I'm not able to suggest anything.
As soon as you said “Truth or Consequences”, I knew you were going to talk about David Parker Ray. He was one of the absolute worst people ever. I read the entire transcript of that disgusting recording that he’d play for his victims. Just vile and horrifying.
@soviet321 or you know blame him for his own actions. My dad beat me stole from me stole my identity starved me as a kid and I turned out just fine and a better man, and husband and father. So sick of people making excuses for stuff like this.
Not having the best of the weeks currently. My great aunt passed away the other day and I haven't been meeting any friends recently, just me on my own, alone. Listening to your podcasts every night relaxes me and gives me an incredible time.
Condolences to you regarding your loss. I hope you’re now meeting close friends as they can help with the way you’re feeling . Prayers for your aunt and you, ✨🙏✨❤️✨
I wish the guy who wrote about the lake provided an update. I've heard this story twice and the cliffhanger is nerve wrecking. The hitchiker story was just terrifying.
As of last year, Cindy Hendy was living in Hamilton, Montana. She has caused quite a problem with living there. Seems people don't like having her around. You can search online for updated pictures of her.
I'm always surprised when people like that manage to survive that long once they're let loose. How has nobody straight up killed her, either in an act of vengeance or just simply to eliminate an evil person from their community? Especially if her whereabouts are so easy to find out
One of the most vile and horrific details of the “Toy-box Killer” was that one of his initial accomplices was his own flesh and blood, his adult daughter, Jesse Ray. Others included his wife, girlfriends, various men, and even his pet dog.
I absolutely LOVE your voice, Joel. The way you read these stories makes me feel like I'm really there. I listen to these on my 35min drive to and from work everyday...and every Monday, Wed, & Fri I'm always SO excited to have fresh stories!! Thank you for being my go-to & making my rides to work (or anywhere) more enjoyable!!!! ❤ much love from Arkansas!
Man, I really want to know what exactly happened with the lake with all the dead animals. What did the friend find out from that sample that made him want to avoid OP? Why did someone feel the need to dry out the lake? So many questions.
That story about the guy having his father's watch robbed from him in Mexico. That's why I will never sympathize with robbers or criminals of any kind. They have no idea what they are stealing from you. They don't understand how badly having a memory robbed from you is more painful than getting beat up. All people who rob others on the street deserve a decade in jail. Hard working people deserve to be safe. They deserve to keep the money they earn. Criminals are not more important than the victims.
What a small and entitled world view. Do you ever get chilly on that moral high ground? You should feel grateful that you've never had to between right and fed. That you've lived a life untouched by poverty and it's bleak choices

I went to a museum with my family . At closing time we went to a desk to collect our umbrellas and coats . A man came up next to us with a child . He started talking to my mum and said he saw the little girl who was crying and looking for her mum , so he decided to bring her to the front desk . He was annoyed with the child’s mum for being so negligent . The man at the desk made an announcement and about 5 minutes later the mum arrived at the desk . The mum was chatting away to her friend and told her child ‘ I didn’t even know you were missing ‘ , The man was so angry with the mum and gave her a piece of his mind ! Some mums just don’t care about their kids ! ,
How in the hell , can you not know, your own child is missing!!?? I think there should be a complicated and extensive boot camp experience for those who wish to have children...more background checking is given to those wishing to adopt abandoned cats and dogs but hell, anyone can have children and as many as they wish. Hoarding cats and dogs , is shocking and illegal , the hoarding of our own offspring is chalked up to people loving the feeling of having large families..uh huh ..whatever... Yeah. It's a messed up convoluted world with pretzel logic morals, ethics and values or lack thereof. Any one in solidarity with me here , or are a willing victim of self induced apathy and the blissful state of ignorance?
Grossest part of that story is that poor lady had to go through all that by somone close to her just for no ody to believe her. Not her husband ans not the police.
Imagine the relief she felt when they told her they had him. Her whole life got turned upside down and ripped away from her. She must of felt so alone.
As someone who was about to study criminal psychology for their masters and studied serial killers like as a past time well before that, nothing has turned my stomach like reading about David Parker Ray. I thought I was jaded for the most part by every other serial killer, I felt pain for their victims and all but reading about the toy box killer legitimately made me nauseous. I just had to pause the video as soon as I heard thats where this was going.
Thanks Let’s Read! Love these extra long ones! Also I must say I’m loving all the positive uplifting comments im the comment sections of your videos! What a great community of people! And remember to always kill people, with kindness 😊✌️🍻
Cynthia completely turned her life around after she survived and now she helps victims. Strong ass woman and surely someone to be admired. I watched the documentary. It was really messed up.
The first story is absolutely horrifying and disturbing! I mean to actually know that people like this exist is what's disturbing to me. I always say monsters don't live under our bed or in our closet but they live among us and this storie is proof of that!
I took a deviance class in college, and we listened to the entire recording of the toy box case, and to say it was the creepiest and most disgusting thing I'd ever listened to. The sound of pure evil. Everything stated in this video is so incredibly tame compared to what came from the horse's mouth.
Agreed. I will admit that years of true crime research has somewhat desensitized me, not in the sense of not caring, but in the sense of gradually being able to handle hearing more and more disturbing things, but David Parker Ray's recording is one of very few things that I genuinely thought I would not be able to handle finishing.
To those few rude complainers "reupload...another repeat? etc" This guy is making FREE content for people. Making youtube videos is harder than it seems so next time You decide to be rude think about the fact that you don't pay a dime for this video and you have no idea what is going on in this guys life he may be having a hard time right now. There is no reason to be rude.
What was scary about the bomber story is that initially they pinned it on an innocent guy. sloppy, lazy police and federal investigation..."Rudolph's statement cleared Richard Jewell, a Centennial Olympic Park security guard, of any involvement in the bombing. Despite having been initially hailed as a hero for being the first one to spot Rudolph's explosive device and helping to clear the area, Jewell came under FBI scrutiny in the days following the attack, ultimately becoming the prime suspect and the subject of international media attention."
I had been dating a guy for about 6.5 months.. He didn't like the "talking" while trying to sleep. 😩🙄. I have horrible issues sleeping. I literally take 10 assorted meds. 6 of them are for sleeping issues. The other 4 make you tired as well. ( yes. I know it sounds crazy or unreal . like I said, I have bad sleeping issues.) ANYWHO..Lets Read is the best medicine. It puts me right out. We ALL know how soothing his voice is. I tried to sleep with earphones ( it was just a hassle). So, As you can tell we weren't compatible. Lol. Now, here I am, Single. Happily single. Listening to Let's Read again. It just feels right. 💓. I find it funny that the title of some of these are "No Sleep" yet I knock right out. Thank You.ThankbThank
That one where he beat the guy up is haunting me….he is definitely dead. I researched the rattling sound in the guys throat that the OP talked about…it’s called death rattle and it is when someone is close to death. They left someone’s son out in the street to die and laughed about it. Some stories stick with me. That will be one of them.
Absolute POS coward. I hope he's still suffering that guy's death on his conscience just as badly as he was prior to posting on Reddit. I'm disgusted he couldn't even man up enough to look up whether he is a murderer over someone being "verbally aggressive and a hanger on". He says things that sound remorseful, but it seemed to me like he still doesn't care that much.... It pretty much seems like he cares only in the fact that it affected him.... "To our credit we didn't kick him in the head" WHAT? You think that's some sort of redemption? NO.
The guy in the first story actually subjected his captives to beastiality as well. That’s what was meant by “dog attacks” I’ve heard the entire tape. Absolutely brutal what he did.
Thanks man for providing the best power naps of all time before i have to jump up and tackle my chores. Seriously, you make for great sleep and great company during these forsaken chores.
Every single time I hear about that poor girl who got left for dead in the DPR story’s husband it makes me so angry, like SHE HAD HER THROAT SLASHED r u kidding me
That creeper at the back door was very creepy! You do what you feel is right, on how to fight or not to fight these entities. Pray pray pray, and listen with your heart and you'll know what to do, Lee. Prayers, love and light, to ya, Lee. XOXOXO 💜
Yep, sounds like his sinuses are suffering a bit. @ Joel, this might sound silly, but, a very warm salt water gargle several times a day, is beneficial to preventing a lingering sinuses issue. The discomfort from nor being able to breathe through my nose is almost traumatizing. I swear by saltwater gargle. Stay healthy friend.
@@dennilewis9006 thats a good reminder, my husband has had a lot of sinus issues lately and i suggested a neti pot but hes stubborn so he said no, but i can probably convince him to gargle with salt water 😅
I remember sophomore year of high school, right after lunch someone got on the intercom and told everyone to go to the field and it was not a drill. Everyone walked to the field and we stayed there for a few hours hanging out with friends and playing card games while police officers surrounded the football field. One of them took a kid from the crowd and brought him in. Turns out this kid had made a home made bomb in his back pack. Someone had noticed he left the smoking back pack on the table and told authorities. The bomb never went off thank goodness.
Yeah that one was just ridiculous. A 9-year-old evil mastermind killed her whole family, might've eaten her dad, or possibly been shot to death after she came at the cops with a knife? What. And how would OP even know all of the details in order to come up with those wild theories? Is... is OP the girl as an adult, did she not actually die? This could be an interesting movie or something
Yeah, idk if they are making it all up themselves or simply believe ridiculous rumours without evidence. Sounds very sensationalized and improbable. I can't think of a single other case where a 9 year old was a family annihilater. The youngest serial killer (a bit different than killing all at once, but you understand the comparison) I'm aware of was Mary Bell who was 10 and went after very young children. If it's true that the child wasn't murdered and instead died of dehydration/starvation it's way more likely she had simply been overlooked by the killer and was unable to care for herself because of her young age and traumatic experience. Glad they never named a case because it sounds like disgusting libel of a dead child. Would be horrific for such seemingly baseless rumours to attach to a real person's memory and affect the extended family as well. Also sadly I have seen some beheading videos and it seems impossible that a child would be able to slash the throat of a grown person let alone do it to several different people within the same time period. Apparently with none of them waking up and fighting back (because there's no way the child would have won if they had fought back even with a slashed throat). It would take a lot of strength and energy to do such a thing.
I also knew right away from the name David Ray Parker! I read a couple books about him 20yrs ago. Read alot of true crime. Both books really had their effects on me witch is not easily done. Cindy Heady ( Not sure of spelling) should have never got to see the light of day again or the daughter!! Both out living their lives!!
@@lydiapetra1211 yes they should have! I can't believe ( I do believe) a woman would do that to another woman. Knowing being a woman how horrific what she herself and what he did was. The daughter?? Wow. Who knows what all she went through in life leading up to this. But nothing covers what she did or makes it understandable! Not to me.
@@delviacockrell593 Cries in the Desert. I’ve also read Slow Death, but it’s been awhile. Cries in the Desert details the whole taped speech that the victims were terrorized with. I would list authors, but I don’t want my comment stricken. It’s a shame citations are not allowed.
How tf did David Parker rays accomplices ever get out his daughter only served 2 1/2 years r u kidding me!! Anyone involved in that should never see the light of day again they should get the death penalty or at the very minimum life without the possibility of parole. I can’t believe his accomplice got out and I really can’t believe his daughter only served 2 1/2 years that’s almost as horrific as what they did
I hate to be vindictive but I hope that coward who very likely beat someone to death is still suffering. I hope telling reddit alleviated his conscience exactly none. The fact that he can't even man up to find out whether he did or didn't kill the dude is fucking disgusting. "to our credit we didn't kick him in the head" Yeah but it sounds like you beat him so badly he was breathing the way dying people do. There's no redemption in the fact you didn't kick him in the head.
I lived in torc for a little over a year, swam in the lake he dropped the bodys. Elephant Bute was and is beautiful but literally like a week after swimming in it we were watching a true crime show and then we learned about all the case. Small Town living is crazy cause we also found out we were neighbors with his second wife. We never saw her much but we fed her cats sometimes when she asked.
The guy who lost his watch when he was robbed in mexico, it's a big loss but I'm sure if his father were still around he would've been more concerned about his sons safety and not the watch...
Joel, today is a very special day because today is my son Brandon’s. Birthday. Today my boy is 3 years old. My wife and I took Brandon to Olive Garden to eat lunch. After that Brandon got to open up his presents, my wife brought a teddy bear and he loved it. I brought him a beagle puppy for his birthday. When he saw the puppy he hugged me and said he loved me. I love Brandon very much he pranks me more than anybody in my family but he’s my son l love him and I always will love him.
@@deshaefromarounthawayricha7324 pretty rude, , do you really have to be so petty? Like, you shouldn't be offering the guy a cookie... you should be offering him birthday cake.. for Brandon ...Duh!
😢 the first story about David with the creepy sick trailer that was soundproof to torture women, I heard about that story ..I seen it on an episode on TV once it was horrible what he did to those women thank God one of those poor women got away from him and his creepy sick women friends !! And finally got away from them both and they both finally got caught he was an evil man!!😭😱🥺😤🤬😡 real peice of 💩 I remember seeing and hearing from the women he took an all about what he and the sick b*t h that they did to her! She was so brave!!! What a sick story !! seeing the inside of the place he had built was horrific inside of that trailer and it was heartbreaking!! All them poor girls he killed and tortured !!it was totally disgusting how he would video tape those women and then he would tape them on a recorder of them screaming and torture the things he did to those women was just totally heartbreaking!! Thank God one woman got away and that evil man got caught!! And the most sick part about it was he had a wife or something a girlfriend that was involved in the whole thing and he would have a special bed in the living room where he would let one of the women sleep and tie her down with a chain,it was just a horrible , horrible how people in this world can do such evil things@! Dont be scared of ghosts and other things the most things in the world we need to be scared of is the people walking around right beside us!least one was safe!! Poor woman 😢❤.. Hopefully today she's been getting better!! 😢
Yes, he's behind on creating new content & new content for Members Only because of him putting more time into the gym. It's taking it's toll on him, plus it feels like he's losing heart a bit too.
I can deal with scary stuff like alone in the woods and stuff like that. I just can't stomach stories about torture. Makes me feel so ill just by thinking about it. Anyways I love all your videos!

I literally take 10 assorted meds. 6 of them are for sleeping issues. The other 4 make you tired as well. ( yes. I know it sounds crazy or unreal . like I said, I have bad sleeping issues.) ANYWHO..Lets Read is the best medicine. It puts me right out. We ALL know how soothing his voice is. I tried to sleep with earphones ( it was just a hassle). So, As you can tell we weren't compatible. Lol. Now, here I am, Single. Happily single. Listening to Let's Read again. It just feels right. 💓. I find it funny that the title of some of these are "No Sleep" yet I knock right out. Thank You.ThankbThank
Hey! Just on case you have this issue again they make sleep headbands that have little speakers in them. Much more comfortable than regular earbuds :)
That one where he beat the guy up is haunting me….he is definitely dead. I researched the rattling sound in the guys throat that the OP talked about…it’s called death rattle and it is when someone is close to death. They left someone’s son out in the street to die and laughed about it. Some stories stick with me. That will be one of them.
Absolute POS coward. I hope he's still suffering that guy's death on his conscience just as badly as he was prior to posting on Reddit. I'm disgusted he couldn't even man up enough to look up whether he is a murderer over someone being "verbally aggressive and a hanger on". He says things that sound remorseful, but it seemed to me like he still doesn't care that much.... It pretty much seems like he cares only in the fact that it affected him....
"To our credit we didn't kick him in the head" WHAT? You think that's some sort of redemption? NO.
@@Phoenix-mh5eo huge facts. God got him 💯
My daughter is 9 😶 it's hard to imagine someone so young and sweet being capable of something so horrible
My son is 9 , felt
I wonder what the reason was that the 9 year old girl killed her mum. Dad and brother
Thanks!
You are a godsend sir! Ur voice is perfectly soothing and keeps me wanting more! Be safe everyone and have a great rest of y'all's week!
Thank you for being here for me 💕
The guy in the first story actually subjected his captives to beastiality as well. That’s what was meant by “dog attacks” I’ve heard the entire tape. Absolutely brutal what he did.
Every night I lay down for sleep, I ALWAYS find one of your videos, plug up an earbud and go zzz!
who else likes getting high, closing your eyes and visualizing one of the stories til you fall asleep? Great recipe for sleep.
today was bootyhole, thank you for being an absolute legend and making my damn day every single time you upload. (:
I woke up at 5:30am and can't get back to sleep. It's 5:51 now. Thank goodness for this video, back to sleep then.
Well...did it work? 😊
Grandma was actually in serious danger. She just had the wits to remain calm in front of the intruder.
1 wrong move away from him snapping.
Thanks man for providing the best power naps of all time before i have to jump up and tackle my chores. Seriously, you make for great sleep and great company during these forsaken chores.
So true! I just keep tapping videos and before I know it, it's been 6 hours and the whole house has been detailed!
I’m Definitely gonna listen to this while I’m asleep tonight
As you fall fast asleep, remind me of the sweet symphonies behind me
I hope everyone is doing good and keeping well with love from Northern Ireland x
It takes maximum 1 story before me going to sleep thanks for that ❤
Every single time I hear about that poor girl who got left for dead in the DPR story’s husband it makes me so angry, like SHE HAD HER THROAT SLASHED r u kidding me
Definitely, I was thinking that too, the investigation of Kelly's situation was pretty much criminal in itself.
That creeper at the back door was very creepy! You do what you feel is right, on how to fight or not to fight these entities. Pray pray pray, and listen with your heart and you'll know what to do, Lee. Prayers, love and light, to ya, Lee. XOXOXO 💜
This dude has the best scary stories voice ever!
David Parker Ray is why I tell my loved ones to never let them take you to a second location die in the parking lot

Let's Read reading a serial killers pre-torture tape is soothing AF and I don't know how to feel about it 😅
The true horror is the guy who didn’t try grits for the first time until he was an adult. 1:11:08
You must be from the south. I’m a California native and never tried them but would if offered to me.
2023 is our year Let's Read!!! 1 million subscribers for you and a freshly printed degree for me. Lets do it!!!!!
Hey thanks Joel u came in clutch tonight appreciate the video broski🤙🏻
It makes me so happy to hear nebraska stories
Joel, it sounds like you're ill, hope you feel better soon!😉
Yep, sounds like his sinuses are suffering a bit. @ Joel, this might sound silly, but, a very warm salt water gargle several times a day, is beneficial to preventing a lingering sinuses issue. The discomfort from nor being able to breathe through my nose is almost traumatizing. I swear by saltwater gargle. Stay healthy friend.
@@dennilewis9006 thats a good reminder, my husband has had a lot of sinus issues lately and i suggested a neti pot but hes stubborn so he said no, but i can probably convince him to gargle with salt water 😅
Thanks let’s read I always listen to your videos to go to sleep I love horror stories and I love sleeping ❤️
I remember sophomore year of high school, right after lunch someone got on the intercom and told everyone to go to the field and it was not a drill. Everyone walked to the field and we stayed there for a few hours hanging out with friends and playing card games while police officers surrounded the football field. One of them took a kid from the crowd and brought him in. Turns out this kid had made a home made bomb in his back pack. Someone had noticed he left the smoking back pack on the table and told authorities. The bomb never went off thank goodness.
I always use your videos for background noise when I'm drawing
There is just no way that story with the nine year old happened.
Yeah that one was just ridiculous. A 9-year-old evil mastermind killed her whole family, might've eaten her dad, or possibly been shot to death after she came at the cops with a knife? What. And how would OP even know all of the details in order to come up with those wild theories? Is... is OP the girl as an adult, did she not actually die? This could be an interesting movie or something
Yeah, idk if they are making it all up themselves or simply believe ridiculous rumours without evidence. Sounds very sensationalized and improbable. I can't think of a single other case where a 9 year old was a family annihilater. The youngest serial killer (a bit different than killing all at once, but you understand the comparison) I'm aware of was Mary Bell who was 10 and went after very young children. If it's true that the child wasn't murdered and instead died of dehydration/starvation it's way more likely she had simply been overlooked by the killer and was unable to care for herself because of her young age and traumatic experience. Glad they never named a case because it sounds like disgusting libel of a dead child. Would be horrific for such seemingly baseless rumours to attach to a real person's memory and affect the extended family as well.
Also sadly I have seen some beheading videos and it seems impossible that a child would be able to slash the throat of a grown person let alone do it to several different people within the same time period. Apparently with none of them waking up and fighting back (because there's no way the child would have won if they had fought back even with a slashed throat). It would take a lot of strength and energy to do such a thing.
Ya'll need to check out.... Kids who kill it should be on RUclips....
Certainly sounds fishy, as long as Joel narrates
Thank u so much I found a page I can watch at night cuz my sleep sucks lol thanks Let’s Read 🔥👌🏾
Hellz yeah!!! The moment I'm looking for a new Let's Read video here it is! Thanks bro!!!
I also knew right away from the name David Ray Parker! I read a couple books about him 20yrs ago. Read alot of true crime. Both books really had their effects on me witch is not easily done. Cindy Heady ( Not sure of spelling) should have never got to see the light of day again or the daughter!! Both out living their lives!!
I agree with you....those two evil monsters should have gotten life!!!
It’s Hendy…read a book about it. It’s so horrific.
@@sciencenotstigma9534 your right Cindy Hindy. Witch book are you reading? There are a few.
@@lydiapetra1211 yes they should have! I can't believe ( I do believe) a woman would do that to another woman. Knowing being a woman how horrific what she herself and what he did was. The daughter?? Wow. Who knows what all she went through in life leading up to this. But nothing covers what she did or makes it understandable! Not to me.
@@delviacockrell593 Cries in the Desert. I’ve also read Slow Death, but it’s been awhile. Cries in the Desert details the whole taped speech that the victims were terrorized with. I would list authors, but I don’t want my comment stricken. It’s a shame citations are not allowed.
Thank you so much for your time on these long compilations
2:08:00 Why would you want to engage someone in small talk?
Super excited!!! Thanks Joel 💚
Let's Read made our day again!
How tf did David Parker rays accomplices ever get out his daughter only served 2 1/2 years r u kidding me!! Anyone involved in that should never see the light of day again they should get the death penalty or at the very minimum life without the possibility of parole. I can’t believe his accomplice got out and I really can’t believe his daughter only served 2 1/2 years that’s almost as horrific as what they did
I hate to be vindictive but I hope that coward who very likely beat someone to death is still suffering. I hope telling reddit alleviated his conscience exactly none. The fact that he can't even man up to find out whether he did or didn't kill the dude is fucking disgusting. "to our credit we didn't kick him in the head" Yeah but it sounds like you beat him so badly he was breathing the way dying people do. There's no redemption in the fact you didn't kick him in the head.
Video starts at 1:36
You've got the best voice I've ever heard.
I hope I marry someone with your voice, meanwhile I'll just keep listening.
I lived in torc for a little over a year, swam in the lake he dropped the bodys. Elephant Bute was and is beautiful but literally like a week after swimming in it we were watching a true crime show and then we learned about all the case. Small Town living is crazy cause we also found out we were neighbors with his second wife. We never saw her much but we fed her cats sometimes when she asked.
It’s after midnight, just finally feeling at ease and all I hear next was this clip at (9:14)
The guy who lost his watch when he was robbed in mexico, it's a big loss but I'm sure if his father were still around he would've been more concerned about his sons safety and not the watch...
Joel, today is a very special day because today is my son Brandon’s. Birthday. Today my boy is 3 years old. My wife and I took Brandon to Olive Garden to eat lunch. After that Brandon got to open up his presents, my wife brought a teddy bear and he loved it. I brought him a beagle puppy for his birthday. When he saw the puppy he hugged me and said he loved me. I love Brandon very much he pranks me more than anybody in my family but he’s my son l love him and I always will love him.
Greaaaat u want a cookie?
Happy birthday, Brandon! 🥳
@@deshaefromarounthawayricha7324 pretty rude, , do you really have to be so petty? Like, you shouldn't be offering the guy a cookie... you should be offering him birthday cake.. for Brandon ...Duh!
@@dennilewis9006 ok yay 🤦🏾♂️
@@deshaefromarounthawayricha7324 bitter much?
Excellent timing! I'm working on getting lasagna layered & French bread toasted! 🤌 Thanks for the new upload Joel
Homemade lasagna...sounds so good.?mmmmmmm
@@travisnasello8984 from scratch 🔥 takes hours, definitely worth the time.
😢 the first story about David with the creepy sick trailer that was soundproof to torture women, I heard about that story ..I seen it on an episode on TV once it was horrible what he did to those women thank God one of those poor women got away from him and his creepy sick women friends !! And finally got away from them both and they both finally got caught he was an evil man!!😭😱🥺😤🤬😡 real peice of 💩 I remember seeing and hearing from the women he took an all about what he and the sick b*t h that they did to her! She was so brave!!! What a sick story !! seeing the inside of the place he had built was horrific inside of that trailer and it was heartbreaking!! All them poor girls he killed and tortured !!it was totally disgusting how he would video tape those women and then he would tape them on a recorder of them screaming and torture the things he did to those women was just totally heartbreaking!! Thank God one woman got away and that evil man got caught!! And the most sick part about it was he had a wife or something a girlfriend that was involved in the whole thing and he would have a special bed in the living room where he would let one of the women sleep and tie her down with a chain,it was just a horrible , horrible how people in this world can do such evil things@! Dont be scared of ghosts and other things the most things in the world we need to be scared of is the people walking around right beside us!least one was safe!! Poor woman 😢❤.. Hopefully today she's been getting better!! 😢
I love the background music! Keep adding scary music it really makes the stories more intense
It really is the greatest score!
Are these longer format ones compilations of numerous previous shorter episodes?
Yes, he's behind on creating new content & new content for Members Only because of him putting more time into the gym. It's taking it's toll on him, plus it feels like he's losing heart a bit too.
@@cDayz Interesting, good to know. Thanks! I _was_ wondering how one man could upload SO frequently. Dude seems to really be pushing himself. 😅
YESSS. (I miss your paranormal stories SO. MUCH.)
Thank you for the stories! You're awesome!
Thanks Sir
Hi to you all from New Zealand god bless each one of you
I can deal with scary stuff like alone in the woods and stuff like that. I just can't stomach stories about torture. Makes me feel so ill just by thinking about it. Anyways I love all your videos!
This video needs a warning!
These monsters won't like Hell.
We were just looking into buying a house south of Murphy, NC. Since I listened to one of your recent podcasts, I was familiar with Rudolph and that area of North Carolina. It now feels like it is following me…
Hey first and also I was gonna sleep right now but you posted this the instant i was gonna pass out
I FALL INTO SLEEP AGAIN WHEN I LISTEN TO YOUR STORY
1:54:45 it rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again 😂
Who else is while drinking a good ol cold bud light while listening to this?
@@titohhh420 Lol
😂
I love the long compilations. ❤️🙏
King of long comps fr
Oh Joel…I am so happy that you exist :3
Wow,...to hear those birds at the end. These were absolutely terrifying! Thank you, Joel.
Why would you put a description of David Parker Ray's torture implements and techniques in a video "perfect for sleep"?
Well, if you didn't know somehow, that's what we humans call "a joke".
Lol😅
