Joel, first off thank you for what you do. You have gotten me through so much darkness in my life. So many errands, so much pain in life, you name it. You got me through by keeping my mind off things. The most recent one was my child’s father getting murdered October 29th. Shot in the chest. Words can’t describe my pain. Thank you for helping me through. But I did want to ask you, can you please direct me to the video where someone sent you a story from the killers point of view? He buried two girls alive and his story submission was a confession. I heard it long ago. Which video was that please? All my love, Hillary
Perfect timing! Feeding my 3 month old his bedtime bottle and he has fallen asleep to your videos since birth, literally! I only listened to your videos the 4 days i was in the hospital after i had him! Got a few nurses hooked on your page😊
I understand his voice is calming but if you notice your baby seems to have any nightmares I'd switch to a different channel (only saying cause I've noticed sometimes the stories creep into my dreams and I'll have nightmares)
Man, I've tried listening to other scary podcasts...but nobody sounds as naturally smooth as you. You have a gift, Joel. You're the only scary story-telling channel that I listen to.
Story 1: OP is an excellent writer. Great pacing, attention to detail without embellishing too much, just the right amount of foreshadowing, none of the irritating “reddit story time” cliche phrases… Please keep writing, and I hope you got your hairdressing business back on track.
Thanks Joel. I'm actually listening to this on Spotify. I'm not even finished. I just had to let you know, firstly I enjoy wholeheartedly your channel and have for a few years. Secondly, I actually cried with the neighbour who passes. You really have a way with words. Thank you, kim from Australia ❤ i just became a member too after all you you have the sexiest voice on the internet!! Please dont tell the other's 😅❤
Just for reference, if you ever want to know about past owners of a house: go to the county recorders office an ask for an abstract for the property location. It is public information, but they will likely charge you by the page or similar. Older properties can potentially have hundreds of pages, so you may want to simply ask if they will tell you beforehand the approximate cost. Some more advanced offices allow you to view the records on microfiche or computer. Regardless, the Recorders (aka Recorder of Deeds, etc...) office is the place to go to learn about everyone who previously owned a property/house.
The one with the two little girls in the sauna was horrifying. How the fucking hell did that horrible monster of a lifeguard get a job like that? Why are some people so heartless and cruel that they'd gladly kill innocent children? That lifeguard needs to be locked in solitary confinement for 20 years, hopefully then she'll reconsider before trying to suffocate children alive.
Lately, Ive been falling asleep with my earbuds in to these. Coming from someone with sleep issues: sleep paralysis and general insomniac due to overactive mind voices, this seems to drown it all out. So far anyway. Last two months have been the worst for me. I had major back surgery in December, then days after coming home my fiancé of 10 years broke it off with me and gave me till February 1 to move out, two days after that I had to put my 16 year old Pomeranian down, driving myself with 17 staples in my lower back. I adopted her when she was 4 months old, she was my best friend. A few other trivial downfalls occurring within this time, but considering the timing they seemed much magnified Needless to say, my sleep had been practically non existent. About a week ago I came across this channel. Best sleep everytime. Thank you. 🙏🏽
Currently at work graveyard shift . In my 30s huge fan of X-files, Unsolved Mysteries, Dateline and various other shows of that nature. I’ve been to prison and back. Probably been subscribed to this channel maybe over 5 years. Now me and my teenage Son listen to stories like this. 44:36 some may think it’s strange but we spend together enjoying this
I listen from South Africa every night. I literally cannot fall asleep without your videos playing. You take so much off my mind and make me forget my worries. Thank you for am your effort.
My favorite and ONLY narrator that i listen to now. truly a gift to tell Great Stories with that Smooth and soothing voice! Another GREAT night of listening. Thank you Joel 😊
You just have the most satisfying voice to listen to when falling asleep. I love other narrators on RUclips, but I always find myself coming back to your channel over and over again. Thank you for the awesome tales! Now let's drift into a realm of the unknown.... 👻
You really are the master of story telling. I listen to many and their stories aren’t nearly as compelling and interesting. In addition, some feel the need to add ridiculous amounts of content that hardly tell the true story. Bravo!!
The best thing for me about that read is the beautiful voice that helps me sleep and the fact that the ads are so short I've tried listening to other channels and they have three or four long ads one after each other that wake you up just as you're falling asleep so congratulations to you for not being greedy and having great big long ads which disturb the beautiful rhythm of your voice
That story about the bus…takes me back to when I had to use Greyhound buses to get home for holidays. Definitely some sketchy-ass people; I missed my second bus because a guy got arrested off the first one I was on. Thankfully, nothing as frightening as the story here but I can definitely see that happening.
I think I might have adhd and listening your stories helps me do tasks I normally struggle to do. Like now packing for a 2 weeks trip in mountains. Thanks
Thank you Joel this came just iin time while I'm cleaning up my living room and kitchen 😊😊 . Keep up the good work and forever subbie ❤ . And I'm not so glad you're putting yourself first ❤ !!!
I’ve heard the first story before , I don’t know where , but I remember this … it’s freaking me out for real , cuz it’s not a creepy pasta or something , it’s a true story , I know that for a fact
Notch, is that scotland in the uk u are from, its a notch word here in ayrshire that is used often, not as often as it used to be but is a notch word, thanks for the reminiscing lol, thanks joel (lets read) for ur amazing stories and ur amazing voice, thanks for the regular nightmares i now have often but small price im more than happy to have just to listen to u tell these stories every night as i listen while falling asleep straight into an nightmare lol x
Animal Cuelty Warnings -in writing even -would really be appreciated otherwise you’re flawless, Joel. Your voice is cashmere..I tell everyone about you. Can’t recommend you highly enough . Thank you .
Hey there! I'm a 16 year old with an interest in the welding industry, what's some advice you could give me? In my metals class at school I'm currently working on overhead beads and the other day I had a really nice looking one
@ferret9263 Hello! Keep practicing your welds. Make time to learn MIG and TIG welding if available. Don't rush your work. Look up welding tips on YT. There are many tutorials that offer amazing advice! I think it's great that you are learning a trade at such a young age! That's awesome. Stick with it and in a few years, you could be earning decent money. Look for oil rig jobs, metal fab jobs, or production welding jobs.
"Wow, thanks for sharing those stories! They're seriously spine-chilling. I can't believe some of the stuff people have gone through. The one about the party cleanup turning into a horror scene gave me goosebumps. It's like something out of a movie! Let's keep the lights on tonight, just in case."
Always great story telling and I must say I absolutely like the # story it's on you added to top right corner..easy to find where I left off when accidentally pass out lol❤
Me opening up RUclips on my iPad and not only seeing a very long Let’s Read, but also seeing it was posted 11 hours ago ~ ‘Oh my f*cking goodness, it’s a HUGE ONE!’ 🥹🤓 Absolutely no ambiguity or double entendres present, just pure and innocent joy upon seeing this drop. 😌🎤💬💤💭
Hello all here and Joel. 😊 l am inviting you all to join in a worldwide meditation for the healing of Mother Earth and all who live here, tomorrow eve at 8 pm Eastern time USA. Wherever you are, please take 10-20 minutes or however long you are able and send out healing light energy to our planet. Thank you so much and spread the word. Love and light to you all. ❤😊❤
My number 1 rule when I move into a new place I change all locks and keys, when I got married I had hubby change all his locks and keys at first he found it strange but thank God he understood and did it anyway.
You tripped me out right now , sorry I have listened to your channel for like 3 years now, but for some reason never even wondered your name. I am seeing in the comments that it is JOEL well that's also my name and at first listening to this podcast right now I thought you were talking to me and it was just trippy. Your awesome man just wanted to let you know and show some love. You have the best name in the world! I am a Jr. So I am very happy with it myself. May good things flow for you and your loved ones. Joel aka Bad Jay InC
my mom had something similar she also couldnt sleep but kept putting natural antibiotics on it. thankfully shes better but she had some chocolate tonight. praying you are doing well

I can't believe I've been listening to Let's Read for like 8 years now. Thanks for all the great nights of sleep, Joel. You're doing God's work.
Me who’s been listening for 1 year
Lol been about 5ish years for me
i started listening to Joel in middle school.. now im almost done with college and am still obsessed!
My gf sleeps too these alot lol
I've been listening for about 5-6 years now. My bedtime lullaby. Love you joel!

That video was removed at the request of the criminal police unit that matched up and revived a cold case
@@evan-r-k that is CRAZYYYYYY. Thank you for telling me.
That is fkn mad balls! I remember that one!
GOD bless you in my prayers
@@swampdog1592 thank you 🖤
Perfect timing! Feeding my 3 month old his bedtime bottle and he has fallen asleep to your videos since birth, literally! I only listened to your videos the 4 days i was in the hospital after i had him! Got a few nurses hooked on your page😊
the lullaby in the start fits so well with this
Same with my 7 month old
😢
Kinda weird when so many are about stalking and sexabuse
I understand his voice is calming but if you notice your baby seems to have any nightmares I'd switch to a different channel (only saying cause I've noticed sometimes the stories creep into my dreams and I'll have nightmares)
Man, I've tried listening to other scary podcasts...but nobody sounds as naturally smooth as you. You have a gift, Joel. You're the only scary story-telling channel that I listen to.
Joel and J Nightmares are my favorites. The best voices.
This is pretty good. Have you tried "The tape library" ? Mr Ballen is also really good. Give these 2 a try as well.
Southern cannibal and whisper diaries
mr nightmare is amazing too! i only listen to joel and him
Lighthouse horror is great too

I can’t imagine the research it takes to be this consistent with new stories constantly
Almost true... I've heard a couple of these.. Glad he's got a smooth voice to listen to..
Most of these are old
They are starting to repeat on all the channels, time to find more subjects to research
@@o.t.t5172The more I listened more I saw this to be true no hate on Joel but I would rather listen to three new ones then listen to 25 old ones
A lot of his stories are just read directly off Wikipedia mixed in with Reddit stories… It’s actually a great idea.
Just for reference, if you ever want to know about past owners of a house: go to the county recorders office an ask for an abstract for the property location. It is public information, but they will likely charge you by the page or similar.

These stories are good. Not ghosts or monsters or anything out of this world. Very refreshing.
I’m a hair dresser and I can relate to the first story about people being happy after a cut. It’s the best feeling.
The one with the two little girls in the sauna was horrifying. How the fucking hell did that horrible monster of a lifeguard get a job like that? Why are some people so heartless and cruel that they'd gladly kill innocent children?

Dude, thank you so much. Been a rough night, and now I have something to look forward to fall asleep to. Lets Read is a national treasure
*LET'S
I sleep with Joel every night....thanks for the stories. Many zzzzs from Nashville Tn❤
Me too … he really gets around 😂😂🥰
Whoooo!!! Cleaning day soundtrack Thanks Joel 💜
My favorite and ONLY narrator that i listen to now. truly a gift to tell Great Stories with that Smooth and soothing voice! Another GREAT night of listening. Thank you Joel 😊
My favorite part of the day is when I find a new episode of let's read!! ❤
Got such an awesome voice! Could listen to it all day, wish there was rain sounds in the background tho, helps me to fall asleep 🎉

Another compliment you are by far the best story teller. You can actually feel what's happening. Thanks your the best Joel
I only found this channel like 6 months ago, and it helps me sleep, also enjoy listening to all the stories, carry on with the good work
The best thing for me about that read is the beautiful voice that helps me sleep and the fact that the ads are so short I've tried listening to other channels and they have three or four long ads one after each other that wake you up just as you're falling asleep so congratulations to you for not being greedy and having great big long ads which disturb the beautiful rhythm of your voice

Back when I lived in Richmond, VA in the 80's I took a Greyhound whenever I went out of town.

Thanks for the upload! It’s helping me through covid.
I'm a Dayshifter now!!! Thank you for keeping my days filled with true terror!!
@adcoxrobert3786 shut up
I honestly have trouble sleeping with the lights on, so I'm comfortable with watching the video in the dark.
Me too my room has to be pitch black 😂😂 . It hits different when it's so dark and the fan is on
Pitch black murdered out fan on =

My saturday off is much better now with you, Joel, thank you for your hard work.
Thank you for lulling me to beautiful nightmares, you killed it let’s read. I like the intro tunes
the intro was so good.
Hey, what's up, brotha! Can you please do some more scary prison stories sometime soon? I always love those stories the most 🖤🖤🖤✌️
So glad to be living on the 7th floor of an apartment building after hearing the Derek story lol. Great episode keep up the good work

Yeah I remember hearing this story before too
Source? Trust me bro
Yeah, that story has been on this channel before. Recognized it right away.
I don't think its true. Too many convenient circumstances
I could almost swear it was the beginning of an episode of Law and Order: SVU, but I can't track it down.
I've been an avid listener since 2018, thanx for all your top notch content my friend. Listening in U.K. PEACE
