My heart goes out to you! I’m in an RV in Florida - it was about 103 yesterday and the AC went out. The points on my well pump went out at the same time. Luckily friends came by and they were able to get my AC started. They’re helping me fix the pump tomorrow, so then I’ll know how to do it, myself. I’m a single mom, so it’s a learning process for me lol I am living in my RV while repairing my house from storm damage. We went without power for a few months due to the hurricane a few years ago, (and no water Bc we have a well on an electric pump). Also, when a tornado hit on Christmas Eve night, demolishing my aunt’s house next door and almost demolishing our house, as well. Basically, I know how easy it is to fall asleep in the heat and overheat. If you can, shower when it’s really hot during the day. Then, at bedtime or whenever you’re sitting in your house, put water bottles in your freezer and put the frozen bottles under your arms (and between your legs), and get fans from your family or friends. Sending all good thoughts for you and your family! Please be safe!
Oh my goodness! That sound horrible- I’m lucky a repair man is coming over tomorrow, and all the fans in our house still work, and my dad hooked up a portable unit that filters hot air from outside and makes it cool, its right outside my room so it just feels a little too warm, but thats all! Edit: the repair man is *not* coming tomorrow… gotta wait a few days..it’ll be fine, probably
I live in New Hampshire, but I'd rather have Texas weather than experience even a second of winter ever again haha. I'm in the wrong state too, wanna switch? XD
To the story about Damien, kids can absolutely be born evil. I have studied this and sometimes the parents can be the kindest people and really good parents and still have a child who is a psychopath! It does happen! Also can be changed by a head injury. Sad but true folks. Hope he got intense therapy. Rare but sometimes these psychopathic kids can be helped. Takes a lot of work and the right therapy.
Back in the 6th grade, I went to a school-sponsored sleepaway camp. One of the kids in our class was the outcast, whom nobody wanted to spend any time with. Our teacher told us to form groups of four (boys and girls separately) for our tent assignments. I was with two other friends, and we were excitedly chattering about what adventures we'd have in camp when we noticed the room had gotten very quiet. Everyone had gathered in groups of three or four, but everyone had left the outcast kid alone in the center of the room, just looking around, hoping to be noticed. Nobody wanted him or would even make eye contact. Our teacher was fuming. I could see he was about to say something (smoke was practically coming out his ears) when I called to the kid, "Hey, you're with us." as if my friends and I had assumed he was supposed to be with us all along and we'd just forgotten to say something. He happily scampered over to join us and our teacher stood there, looking the class over. After a moment, he turned away from me and my friends to face the rest of the class and said, "You have just been saved."
If anyone ever holds you down underwater, try to go deeper to escape their grip. Never try to fight it by swimming up. Story 3 could've gone very differently if he'd swum down and then came up for air
Bruh, FALSE. Good in theory but not helpful one bit in real life (talking from experience). If you are drowned on purpose and pretty successfully, it usually means that your attacker has a stable enough stance to hold you down kicking. They're STANDING in the water (rather not deep at all), so there's no actual depth to go to out of their reach. If you go down you'll just end up face in sand and still even deeper under water. Also don't forget that you're getting increasingly weaker with no air. Better try and go for attacker's legs under the water - make them lose their stance, and lose grip on you.
@@YuliiaSt666intriguing information let me give you some our fingers have the same sturdiness of a carrot it’s just that our brains don’t let us bite through them so whenever you’re in danger and just happen to come across their hands go for it they’ll have to have a damn good excuse for missing fingers More in case that tidbit of information sucked always carry a spoon reason? They easily get into an offenders eye socket it doesn’t matter how ballsy or tough they are they even try to look in a different direction that’ll do damning damage on that note if something gets lodged in your eye don’t move your eyes don’t take it out cover your eyes and call for help if you don’t believe that you can keep your eyes still insist that they put you under as quickly as possible 👌 (I’d lose my eyes and cause nerve damage if something got lodged in my eye 😅)
For the second story, I'm not at all surprised. Many children (not all) that show psychopathic behavior come from a bad home. Hopefully, the kid got the help he needed. Fortunately, if caught in time, it can be resolved. A perfect example of this is Beth Thomas.
When it's 4:00 you know what time it is. Sit back and relax it's story time. A perfect distraction from life's crap, even if it's just for a little bit.
First of all, I love these creepy true stories - thank you so much! Second, Alexandra didn't care for him, probably incapable of caring for anyone. My take is that she panicked when he lost consciousness, was terrified that he was about to die - what would happen to her? If she ran for a counsellor, she wouldn't get in trouble for participating in this awful prank. Who knows, she was a pretty girl who may have manipulated the boy who held the victim's head down. And went to juvenile hall. Nothing happened to her.
This one was rough.. I really didn't see the impaled kid one coming.. that definitely kept me up at night wondering if that could have been prevented..
Wow that was a rough bunch of stories! I don't think I have ever been as sickened or horrified as I was listening to this video 🤯😱😿 Just shows you are the master storyteller 💪
I actually look forward to Monday, Wednesday and Friday's every week because I know I'll get to hear stories from the best horror story narrator, Let's Read!! You are appreciated!!
I feel like you can always count on the comments of these videos for armchair professionals that took a high school level psychology course telling you about the thought processes of people we're only hearing about through the dramatised stories of other parties.
I highly enjoy listening to these stories as I go to bed. For some reason with some of the short intro songs remind me those old educational videos from elementary and middle school.
Dude, regarding that first story, I have been the person who says or whispers things that I didn't even realize that I did because I talk to myself non-stop and also have a habit of blurting things out without thinking, so it does happen every once in a while. Lol, I have ADHD, that's probably a part of it.
Third story was my favorite, even if it hit a bit close to home with how my parents would force me to socialize with kids my own age, through summer camp or otherwise. Never nearly died because of a prank, but I still had the feeling that the only reason kids showed friendship towards me was because they were obligated to. I was the "overweight, socially awkward and weird kid".
I never had the pleasure of being able to go to summer camp as a kid. BUT we had our own neighborhood spirits and horrors here and there ❤️ 💙 💜 💖 ARRRRRGH 🌈🏴☠️😎🦯🏴☠️🌈
Thank you for another great episode! The last story was absolutely horrific and honestly difficult to hear, reading it can’t have been any better, but as always you brought it together for us. Thank you 😊
Glad to be here as soon as you upload a new video as I've been working night's and have had to catch up the last few uploads. Have a great weekend everyone
Me as a parent I would be upset that I wasn’t informed that my child was at a camp with child that turned a animal inside out. Idk how summer camps work but I feel that not okay . 2 days to pick him up gosh
Lol at Story 4.. got 3rd degree burns but all that happened was peeling skin!! Nah mate thats 1st degree at best! Why the hell do people exaggerate so much.. 3rd degree you’d be in hospital getting skin grafts and have them cleaned out daily which is agony!
This. I came to the comments at this point in the stories. 3rd degree burns are devastating and deadly. "I got 3rd degree burns"... "No.. you didn't..." lol
@@OneBadAssMoMo oh no sorry to hear that hope you are both better.. or if you were visiting her she is better. (Sorry not 100% if you meant both so didnt want to assume)
@@DreadnThis it really is & id be questioning the stories validity unless the person is just dumb and thinks 3rd means its not as bad. i have met some people who think its 1st degree for worse and had to tell them no 1st just means the first layer of skin the stuff that can regenerate quite easily, 2nd is when it bubbles up and takes weeks to heal and usually needs a burn dressing on if the bubbles pop to stop infection and 3rd degree means you need professional help with them and enough of an area of 3rd degree burns can kill you especially the older you are!
I knew something was off with that statement. I was like a 3rd degree burn from the sun?? 😅 I thought you have to be in a scorching hot fire to get it to be that bad.
I think the killer in the last story, got exactly what he deserved. He was a sick, sick man. And I get that he was traumatised by the car crash that involved the young boy but that gave him zero reason to go after and murder and torture 50 innocent boys. We live in a messed up world.
Yesss Joel perfect timing!! I’m cooking diner and got the alert on my phone and my kids, hubby n I are couch bound listening to you. Well I’m cooking their chilling. I just got a sticker for my car and the third black kitty naustronaut t shirt. ❤️❤️❤️ we are huge fans. Thanks for what you do!!
I talk to myself all the time. Actually have conversations with myself. I've been like this my whole life. I try to keep it quiet but I still catch glances of of the side of my eye. I don't intend to creep people out. I'm not schizophrenic or anything I don't see or hear things that aren't there. It's pretty much just me thinking out loud. I imagine having conversations with people and it just comes out of my mouth. It's not really something I can control. I'm a very odd person but, I'm harmless
@@oisinlynch8427 nah it sounds like he had this deep messed up desire buried and it somehow manifested and came to light once he saw the accident. I mean who in their right mind has those thoughts when witnessing something like that
Lowkey feel a little bad for Ashton. As a social work student, a counselor shouldn’t keep pushing. Who knows, maybe if the pushing never happened the incident may have been avoided all together. Couple the pushing with the other kids making fun of him. It’s a recipe for disaster
My neighbor was in extreme pain. I had read the fascinating book a famous tattoo Artist his three daughter all with Tattoos. Murder mysteries. I gave him the book and he said there were days he was so transported he forgot his pain for a few hours daily
Wow soo let me get this straight you feel like honored some twat that was the cornerstone of a prank on you made sure you didn’t actually die? All it meant was she had humanity in her and didn’t want another human die due to her prank it did not mean she liked you in any way lol . Also doesn’t make her a righteous person she sounded pretty awful to stretch that humiliating prank out so long.
I like how OP used the name Damien to label the Antichrist child lol Good one
Yeah ..... naming your boy Damien is asking for problems.... or everyone being scared of him .. 😂
I’m so glad you updated, the a/c in my house isn’t working, and I live in Texas, it 104, you can imagine my suffering… this takes my mind off it

I named my son Damien, both my family and his dad's family hated that name because of that movie lol.
Love your stories you have the best voice 😊
Really enjoyed this creepy collection!!! Thanks, Joel!
