The guy who wrote the Cloudpeak Wilderness story will write a great book I’m sure, as long as he refrains from saying “if you catch my drift” 300 times 😂 It was super interesting and had me wanting to know more!
Can someone please tell him that the phrase is meant to be used with euphemisms? I thought he was banging his friend until he mentioned them being like brothers, because he used “if you catch my drift” incorrectly/unnecessarily. Also, he wasted so much time talking about irrelevant things. He could have started with, “My best friend and I were hiking in/at….” As an editor, he wouldn’t be a good writer (not for non-fiction, anyway) because of the superfluous nature of his writing.
A small detail that made the first story hard to believe is that the protagonists who are meant to be very experienced backpackers didn't carried any water purification tools, that's like one of the very first lessons you learn when you have to plan around. If OP wants to write a book he can't go the "oh no, the two of us forgot our filters" route, even if they forget to bring their filters to Wyoming the first thing they would have probably done is to buy at least one more, (yes they're that vital) or at the very least buy cheap water purification tablets.
The first story has stark similarities of the Whittaker family that Mark Laita did a few docu-shorts on. One family member is non-verbal, had a bark-like tic and loved small dogs.
That Cloud Peak Wilderness story gave me the creeps. I have driven through those mountains dozens of times. There are a few creepy, almost abandoned rest areas along the roads. I don't use them.
I live in AZ and can confirm a bark scorpion sting is not even hospital worthy unless you have an allergic reaction. Just keep the stung spot above heart level for a few hours and you're good, but baby bark scorpion stings can be fatal as adult only let out some venom to incapacitate. The babies however let it all out. Also a tip if anyone comes across a bark scorpion don't crush them they carry the babies on their back so crushing them sends the babies everywhere and now you got a new problem.
As someone who got stung by a bark scorpion, you know when part of your body falls asleep and when you try waking it up it has like a tickling feeling all around it? Instead of tickling, it replaces with an unbearable pain and it gets worse by every pulse. And that’s from the baby scorpions!
My dad is a biologist and has heard of people out on field work in the desert seeing a specific hallucination of a child who finds them and runs away, and the person runs to try and find them and they never do. It's probably because you're lonely and your brain needs stimulation, plus some dehydration maybe. It just reminded me a bit of the first story.
Almost got your first million subs! Awesome man! For years now, hours, and hours, I’ve listen to you, by far my favorite not just scary stories reader, because I don’t listen to anyone else, my favorite internet companion! I like live reads makes me feel like I’m not alone, when listen to them, I hope it never becomes a job, and you always enjoy it! Because your the goat
Thank you, Joel, for all you do. Great stories and right on time. And to the gentleman in the first story, a good title for your book... Leave Well Enough Alone.
This was a very good video, Joel, if I may. We've not been formally introduced but it is the name I see others using when commenting. The stories were well worth the 55:00 minutes of my life that I invested while listening. I'm a new member of your Patreon, RUclips, and podcasts as well. 😊
In the first story I'm guessing that young girl was kidnapped. There is no other way she could have learned to speak when the people she lived with could only bark. At some time in her life she had to have had a real family and normal surroundings where she heard words in order to speak them properly.
Mmmhmm. It would definitely be the case that she was kidnapped as a young child with some ability to speak/knowledge of words but not full fluency. Would explain why she spoke broken English and looked nothing like everyone else. There's no way in hell she just happened to be a genetic miracle and learned to speak English in the midst of a family of inbred chinless blonde people who bark and speak gibberish. (Suspense of disbelief is being employed here. As in the thing that allows you to interact with fiction and unverifiable non-fiction as if it were real.)
Everything you tell me is off the record. As long as you count the internet as off the record. Because I’m gonna tell the entire internet with enough detail to lead directly to you
NEVER sleep in the middle of a dry river bed especially in Nevada or a desert, incredibly dangerous. When land is dry it doesn’t absorb water well so you get flash floods. It could rain 20 miles from where you are and you could get a flash flood there if that’s where the water runs.
As someone who grew up in the area during the time when the killings happened, it was an absolutely scary story, especially since I had an older sister who had a tendency to run off when the mood hit her. Though I do find it odd that he described League City as being a small town. :/
Gfs have come and went, jobs, cars, homes, the only thing that is same in my life now days, Let’s read! Always been there, that’s why for me, it feels like family! Love you man!
I'm from Iowa and even I know that big scorpions are not the dangerous ones, it's the little ones I've heard are the bad ones. At least according to my friend from Texas lol
The first story... wow... to not stay at the stream for a day to completely rehydrate is insane. To then wait so many days not finding another source and to let yourself be 1.5 days away from wateris asking for it.
The little girl wasn't the kidnapped person, her mother was. Her dark haired, amber eyed mother was probably a lost hiker or town sex worker. She probably didn't survive childbirth
It’s truly unfortunate that the killer in the 3rd story was never caught, but If this killer is dead hopefully him/her are roasting. And these poor souls are resting peacefully above.
That last story was actually very lucky. I've lived in AZ my whole life and the worst sting I've seen was when my friend was bit by a Brown Recluse Spider, the venom actually dissolves tissue (which non of us knew) so a day or so later when it still hurt like hell and wasn't getting better she showed us the bite and with a press a lot of....um...stuff came out and she had to go straight to the ER. The desert has some creepy-freaking-crawlies in it.

yes!
Yes, this story is so intriguing, and makes it all the more scary in that it seems so believable! Excellent and thank you!

Exactly - I catch your drift.

EXACTLY! That makes the whole story suspicious. Even more than the strangeness.
The guy in the first story went down one hell of a rabbit hole.
The first story was fantastic and so well written. I'd read his book.
Agreed. I don't even care if it's real or not
Can not think of a better way to end the day! Thanks Joel! Dreamy voice, awesome stories!
The first story has stark similarities of the Whittaker family that Mark Laita did a few docu-shorts on. One family member is non-verbal, had a bark-like tic and loved small dogs.
the author def used that doc as inspiration
Same thing I was thinking 🤔 💭 🧐 🤷🏻♀️
They were exactly what I thought of as soon as he said the kid barked
I was thinking of them too, I just forgot their last name
yesss i was thinking the same thing!
That Cloud Peak Wilderness story gave me the creeps. I have driven through those mountains dozens of times. There are a few creepy, almost abandoned rest areas along the roads. I don't use them.
That's awesome

The description of the first story’s author is hilarious. Whoever you are your voice for imagery is just fantastic. Write more

I thought that was Buzz Lightyear in the new intro! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I did too
Me three 😹
Maybe his skinnier younger brother.
I was reading this comment as it was playing and I still thought it was buzz for a second. Took me a couple seconds longer than I'm proud of
Lmaooo
That intro is sick! Lol love the GTA hands. Thanks for your Neverending quality content, my friend.
New intro is sick. Much love to who ever did the animations, yall got a bright future
Thank you very much :)
Bro, "facially disadvantaged" had me howling with laughter while driving down the road. That is hilarious 😂
I just came home and started cleaning thank goodness this came out love this channel completely 🎉🎉🎉🎉
That first story...the facially disadvantaged (lol) barking man child family sounds exactly like the Whittakers!! From Odd, W.V.
yes!! that's who came to mind when he talked about the barking man child!
Exactly what I thought.

Thank you for these stories as I drive down a destitute highway tonight.
I live down an old, windy, narrow, pitch dark, rural secondary highway, listen to these all the time, doors are locked!

“The single most facially disadvantaged person I had ever laid eyes on” LMAO! Daaaamn. Now that’s an insult that would cut deep! - 8:55
Loved the intro! Very fun. I love binging these videos, they’re high quality 👾✨
Thanks for the impeccable timing as always, Joel! Have a great weekend all! ☺🕷🕸🦇💀
Thank you, Joel, for all you do. Great stories and right on time. And to the gentleman in the first story, a good title for your book... Leave Well Enough Alone.
That intro was surprisingly innocent and here I was expecting something horrific
Yes my favorite narrator 😩😩
Loving the new intro!!! ❤❤ it’s cute.
Thank you for amazing videos and helping so many make it through the day ☺️
first story really gave off "The Hills Have Eyes" vibes

@Let's Read, thanks for the content. Your hard work is appreciated and does not go unnoticed.
I appreciate your consistent and lengthy uploads 👻
Hell yeah!! I've been waiting all day for this!

I think its a fake story because theres a documentary on youtube about Us inbreds and one of the inbreds bark.
@@Etaoinshrdlu69 yeah, sounds waaaaayy too much like the Whittaker family with a few small twists/changes
The one person that spoke English maybe passed away already maybe it was the cops baby LOL

I love let's read videos they always make my week as I just love listening to them!
1st story sounds a little like a wrong turn type story. I liked it.
That woman’s intuition is inside everybody. It’s a great tool or ability we all have. I’ve learned to never go against it.
Yay! I am going to listen to this after work. Some at work 😆
I love these stories ❤️ thanks Joel for the great stories!
just listening while stoned and bedazzling things lol
This one is a great story. Well written and well read
That intro was 👌🏽

Im always looking forward to wilderness stories, they are the best of all stories.
Can't sleep. This makes me happy.
Awesome!
You're right on time for the start of the weekend.
Omg you are a life saver someone quit today so it looks like another late night at the hospital 😭💗 this will keep me alive tonight 😂
I love your voice. You did a great job narrating the first story about Cloudpeak Wilderness. Great stuff!
Awesome 👏🏻 Stories!! Thankyou
New intro just made me do a little jig what the heckington that was so cool
Pretty good 'The Hills have Eyes/Wrong Turn' story
As a current resident of League City. I'm glad you read this. Such a scary strange string of murders.
As someone who grew up in the area during the time when the killings happened, it was an absolutely scary story, especially since I had an older sister who had a tendency to run off when the mood hit her.
Though I do find it odd that he described League City as being a small town. :/
Love the new intro!!!
Awesome as always. Keep the stories coming ❤️

man stalker ish much? you comment this (or something similar) on every video, its getting concerning
@@hermionegranger5349 so, what's wrong with me giving Joel my opinion?
@@jacobbowling263 i think he knows by now like I said you comment this on EVERY video
I get so excited when I see a new video right before I do my dishes! The only upside to chores is listening to you!
Lol, same here. I listen while doing chores mostly dish washing
Thanks for the stories
Love that new intro dude!!
Sweet intro ❤
We need a update on the family in the woods. But please be very careful and take a lot of other people next time.
look up the whittakers - the most inbred family
fake story, due to no water filtration. That is impossible to overlook.
new intro is top!! love ya joel
The little girl wasn't the kidnapped person, her mother was. Her dark haired, amber eyed mother was probably a lost hiker or town sex worker. She probably didn't survive childbirth
Great stories especially tge outcome of the last
Very cool intro! Excited to listen to the stories. Thank you💜
LOVE the new intro!!
Always love how unique your intros can be but this one hits different
Your intros are so creative and artistic! Thank you for releasing so much great content so many times per week. Your voice is very relaxing 😊😊
Cool opening!
Love the intro!!😂
I love your voice 💗
The Sleep King has arrived 💚💚
The first story reminded me of the Whitaker family. It’s terrifying
The ambience in the penultimate story is lowkey one of the most eerily beautiful ambience tracks I've ever heard
Scary ass stories 😱 I loved em🥰 Thank you Joel !!
It’s truly unfortunate that the killer in the 3rd story was never caught, but If this killer is dead hopefully him/her are roasting. And these poor souls are resting peacefully above.

The story of the family in Cloud Peak is strongly reminiscent of the infamous “Home” episode of X Files.
Love the intro!! 😆
it’s the fact that i live in the middle of nowhere too 😭😭
Buzzlight year lol Thank you for the great story
Really like this new concept ,outside , thank you my friend
Being from Scotland it was cool to hear story number 2. Keep up the good content 💙🏴
That first story was incredibly fascinating!
New Intro? I haven’t seen it before but it’s so good!!
