Hoarding is a terrible mental illness. We were moving to a new farm, and saw an ad for free outside cats. We went to look, and the house had been condemned, and the lady is being forced out. We picked out a female cat, and three of her "healthiest" kittens. The kittens didn't make it the week to the vet appointment despite my best efforts. I got the mother vaccinated, and she lived a long, healthy life with us as a mouser. She would also adopt other barn kittens and teach other cats to mouse. Before you vilify me, farm cats had access to food and shelter, and were vaccinated yearly. They have a job, and earn their keep.
I hate how these animal rights people vilify folks who have barn cats. Smug, cosmopolitan little sh*ts need to mind their own business regarding rural life.
I think barn cats are wonderful. Cats have been partnering with humans since way back when...they would help us keep our home/environment safe from rats, mice and other troublesome pests, and we give them food, safety and love (when they want it lol!). It's just like hunting dogs...the cats have a job that is natural and enjoyable to them! People who comment negatively about barn cats are just being ignorant! Thanks for saving all the cats you have adopted throughout the years!👍
If someone offers you THOUSANDS instead of the few dollars you planned on selling it for maybe do an ounce of research or get it appraised and find it’s real value. And meeting at night??? First guy was just not smart 😂
@@queenb1119 What would you recommend? What words would you use when searching? If you didn't know what it was or what it was supposed to look like or didn't have a clue where it was from or wasn't even sure what it was made of??
That first story was probably about Ku-ka’ili-moku - the ‘land snatcher’ or ‘island eater’ deity/idol. One sold at auction a while back for $7.5 million dollars. If this is the figure or similar that he sold to that guy for $2,000, I bet they’ll feel sick, if they ever find out. Lol
Joel you are in a whole other league altogether. You make things so much better and easier with what you put out! I sleep to let’s read and listen for chores or when running lots of errands. I love the short story format it’s easy to jump in and out. I appreciate you so much and if I ever saw you irl would give you a big hug!
Just got home from a long day at the beach with friends and family... Had the best time playing with my little boy's in the lake... Got bath time and clothes ready for school tomorrow... This video was perfect timing! The babies husband are exhausted, so I get some me time! Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday 💛
That little statue from the first story must have been an extremely rare historical piece. They probably could have sold it for hundreds of thousands of dollars if this guy was so excited to be getting such a deal on it.
That 2nd story is really sad about the scammer. The scariest things in real life are not ghosts and supernatural stuff, but regular people who seem like anyone else but have no conscience whatsoever. It's genuinely scary to think about that sometimes.

My sister met physic at a bar once. The lady told her the guy she was seeing, who was in prison, was using her for money. There was no way she could have known all that
(I believe in psychics and the beyond) but Wait so the guy she was seeing was already in prison ? And you believe she couldn’t have know the guy was using your sister for money ?
Yea and the part your sister didn’t realize is that she had probably just been telling someone to her left that her bf was in prison, and the psychic waited their turn to jump in and tell her about her life. Gullible people are the ones who psychics love. Trust me, I know one. It’s all tricks.
Thank u so much 🙏🏼U put my daughter and I to sleep every night, My daughter Anastasia is 29 years old and is in the hospital in San Antonio tx. Trying to get a bone marrow transplant, She is battling Aml Luekemia. Thank u again 🙏🏼🙏🏼
That scuba diving story is terrifying. Just imagine some guy that stalks scuba diving teams and then picks out the beginners to try and manipulate them into baisically killing themselves by accident. That sounds like something Johan would do 😩
Joel I can honestly say that every time I watch your videos or watch your live streams all of the buttersock cult has cared. I can't even tell you how much I appreciate the buttersock cult being there for me when I was grieving over my father's death. Joel I wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart the buttersock cult is the greatest cult out there and I'm honored to be a member of it. Joel you and I are and ever will be buttersock cult members for life.
20:00 she put her face on her Facebook page? Who does that? I've been on for about 13 years now and not once put my face on. My dog's face is my profile pic right now, I change to a different pic a few times a year. I've never been questioned about 'no face' pic.
Mine has a photograph of my grandmother aged 5, with my great grandmother seated with my grans baby brother on her lap Edit* the photo dates from around 1910.
Omg! My mother in law found a cockroach nest in her coffee machine! 😩 The scary part is that it was brand new, she had only had it a couple days when she noticed little bugs crawling around it and yes opened it up to find it full of roaches!! 🤮 I actually wondered if other people had that happen and got more than a new coffee machine for Christmas, a roach infestation also 😖 that is so awful!
For the story starting at 1:22:51, as a single woman I can see how the lady who was trying to help might have been genuine in her efforts, but upon discovery of the husband maybe felt suddenly unsafe, as the husband had thus far kept himself concealed and unacknowledged until the reveal. Obviously I was not there and cannot attest to the vibes the lady was giving off, and the chances are that she really was part of a trafficking ring, given Vegas and all that.
✨✨✨✨ My situation wasn't quite as strange as the first story, however, the whole timing thing is something I had to put my foot down with once. I had some baby items I was selling and wanted to meet in the busy grocery store parking lot right in front of the cameras. Like just a few steps from the front door. I had this one couple offer more money if I was willing to meet them after 10 pm after they supposedly got off work. Nope. My life is worth more than used baby furniture. I told them during busy daylight hours or nothing. They either couldn't or wouldn't so I sold it to the next person on the list.. During busy daylight hours with no problem 😉
‘Why are you laughing?’ ‘You fool. You gave me the one thing I’ve been looking for! You gave me the statue! At a steal no less. You have absolutely no clue the chaos a butterfly can cause with one fell swoop!’ ‘Whatever you say man, thanks for the $1000’
omg i knew it was gonna be roaches!! 🤢🤢🤢🤮 i bought a cheap laptop from fb marketplace years ago. it didn’t have the removable battery so it had to be plugged in to use. i finally got around to ordering a battery and sat down at my KITCHEN TABLE and took the thing apart. i immediately noticed a weird smell of like beer and bananas, which was just very strange but whatever. opened it up and it’s FULL of cockroaches. baby cockroaches that were like melted to the circuit board. immediately stuck it in a ziplock freezer bag, duct tapped it all and threw it out in the dumpster. i guess they are attracted to the heat of electronics or something. ugh. nightmare fuel.
At 1:11 they are talking about the family bringing all the grandpa's stuff and dropping it off...nothing at all to do with a girl screaming in getting kidnapped
Love to listen to your stories. But especially at night. I know, it seems like a backhanded compliment, saying your voice puts me to sleep.... but for someone like me, it's an absolute blessing!!!! Thank you for all the work you do. I appreciate you!!!
ive been telling my husband my dreams recently and he said "you know you dream of being chased by murderers because of those stories you listen to in your sleep right?" and im like idc i love it i get to star in my own horror movie every night😂
This is a masterpiece of a video, not only does it keep you invested for the whole video but enlightens you in your life. For so long my thoughts have only been about this artwork, neigh I say... the perfect video. African children weep at the thought of being able to watch this video and the strongest men are crushed upon the width of what this video holds... the truth... not only have I longed for this masterpiece but it has consumed me. It is me. Thank you. Thank you so so much.
The first story reminded me about wh n my ex husbands grandmother died. She'd been very sick. She had two daughters and three sons. While everyone was mourning and attending the funerals the one son that never visited her and his family were going through her house. The grandmother was one that hid money around the house, in her yarn bag, wall hole...etc. The family wasn't sure why his kids and wife never attended any of the services but found out when stuff that was worth money was missing from the house suddenly and that brother already checked out of his hotel room and was headed back to Ohio. Greed was more important than supporting his siblings.
In the story that ends around 1:33:06, she says "I'm going to call the police." Does that mean you typed this up and posted it on reddit before you called them?
Is this entire episode a repeat? I've been listening for a while so I expect one or two maybe per episode but this one it seems like literally every single one is one I've heard before and I haven't been listening for THAT long
He does these longer story's ..repeats or not specifically for those of us that enjoy his voice and helps us sleep. Personally I love the longer ones....repeats and all. He uploads NEW content 3 days a week...that's alot if time effort and work ....I appreciate it....as does MOST of the channels fans/aubs
@@ashleybrown1666 the video is longer but the stories are not. The OP did not say that they didn't like the longer ones but instead simply asked if these stories had been done before. It's great that you like them....everyone has a right to express their own opinion here it's just too bad that some people feel it necessary to try to bully those whose opinions differ from their own. Guess what? Just because someone hates to hear the same stories more than once it does not mean they don't appreciate listening to this channel! Some people like to actually _listen_ to the stories instead of just sleeping through them...but there is nothing wrong with either one! Try not to be so passive aggressive and such a brown nose (ie, an ass kisser)!!🙂
I had a neighbor literally just like the gerbil lady except hers were cats. When she finally got moved into a nursing home, it took people in hazmat suits WEEKS to get everything cleaned up. 🤮
I was not intentionally listening to this. I'd fallen asleep listening to a different Let's Read, and this just auto played later while i was sleeping. I was these having bizarre dreams, so crazy, and he was narrating the dreams, I woke up covered in sweat. As I started to focus on what he was saying in the story playing, I realized he's describing what I'd heard in my dreams. I went back to the beginning of that story and listened, and I WAS dreaming the story he was reading. Exactly word, like a weird wild movie with a 1st person narrator with corresponding wild images. It was the one with the guy and the old guitar of his dad's. Then I saw the title of this....😅 Pretty cool! Thanks for making these! They're great to have on and help me fall asleep on nights I have insomnia. I'd never dreamed the stories before, so that was interesting.
Is it me or I've heard these stories already. At least the first 3-4 so far lol probably a good thing I've listened to each one your videos few times each lol
I Love the opening music, it gave me goosebumps just now as I'm outside my house looking for my cat, and it's totally dark tonight, no moonshine, it kinda freaked me out but I love it at the same time...😬
That first story got me angry lol. Dude goes from 3$ to 2000$ and you didn't think anything of it?! Didn't research thoroughly nor get it appraised... Absolute density personified.
You need and deserve 1mil subs. You are the most reliable creator on RUclips IMO. Well the ones I listen to. You never click bait. Never ramble . Don’t talk at the end to wake us up. Not full of adds. You are the only man who can talk me into bed apart from my husband ;)
lmao I used to tell lighthouse horror the same thing almost(when he posted daily)😂 "he was the only man I could count on no matter what and always made me excited for bed time" I think I finally went to far when my baby was born and I said she has heard his voice every night in my belly so she probably thinks hes her dad😂😅😅😅 sounded less creepy and more funny in my head, but typed out its pretty creepy👀
Love the new intro, man! One of the best ones yet (if not the best, along with the skeletal soldiers witnessing a nuclear explosion)! The sound of this with that visual would work greatly as well, I think!
Totally agreed. I'm a very small dive watch channel and some of my watches I review I still have to pay a discounted price for and I've never been offered money to review. I'm still going to be honest and speak the truth. You did and are doing the right thing. Message Dillon this. "Wrong is wrong, right is right just as much the fact that rain is wet" Then tell him the truth has never lied. Only denied when you buy! My channel is puny and tiny compared to both of yours but as a reviewer, collector and a genuine person who cares about what's right, I absolutely agree with you. My best and my respects.

ANTHOLOGY STORIES!!! ive been trying to think of the damn word. Joel you are the Best Anthology Podcast. Ever watch any anthology movies? You would love em.
The power out stories are kinda funny for me, everyone gets so scared and stuff, but I live in South Africa and we have about 1-4 power outs a day...it sucks but you really get used to not having electricity for hours a day.

Thank you, Joel, you're the Best!! 🥰
The squatch story was un- nerving. We have one coming out of the woods here. He seems calm but he is a very big guy. He's never been so sneaky. He sings at night. Really pretty but unusual sounding.
The guy and his friend that the old psychic lady had predicted their futures, she wasn't wrong when she said what you're looking for is in your pocket. She was right. All he had to do was look in his phone which was one of the items in his pocket

The sound at the end of every story gives me a feeling a can’t explain.

He does these longer story's ..repeats or not specifically for those of us that enjoy his voice and helps us sleep. Personally I love the longer ones....repeats and all. He uploads NEW content 3 days a week...that's alot if time effort and work ....I appreciate it....as does MOST of the channels fans/aubs
@@ashleybrown1666 the video is longer but the stories are not. The OP did not say that they didn't like the longer ones but instead simply asked if these stories had been done before. It's great that you like them....everyone has a right to express their own opinion here it's just too bad that some people feel it necessary to try to bully those whose opinions differ from their own. Guess what? Just because someone hates to hear the same stories more than once it does not mean they don't appreciate listening to this channel! Some people like to actually _listen_ to the stories instead of just sleeping through them...but there is nothing wrong with either one!
Try not to be so passive aggressive and such a brown nose (ie, an ass kisser)!!🙂
I had a neighbor literally just like the gerbil lady except hers were cats. When she finally got moved into a nursing home, it took people in hazmat suits WEEKS to get everything cleaned up. 🤮
Listening while being stoned 🌜🌚 best feeling ever 🫂💫 goodnight homies
Thank you ! There has been nothing on all day now I can listen and clean 🧼 my house 🏡 😁
Anyone else think the author of story 1 recently watched the Brady bunch in Hawaii? 😂
I was not intentionally listening to this. I'd fallen asleep listening to a different Let's Read, and this just auto played later while i was sleeping. I was these having bizarre dreams, so crazy, and he was narrating the dreams, I woke up covered in sweat. As I started to focus on what he was saying in the story playing, I realized he's describing what I'd heard in my dreams. I went back to the beginning of that story and listened, and I WAS dreaming the story he was reading. Exactly word, like a weird wild movie with a 1st person narrator with corresponding wild images. It was the one with the guy and the old guitar of his dad's. Then I saw the title of this....😅 Pretty cool!
Thanks for making these! They're great to have on and help me fall asleep on nights I have insomnia. I'd never dreamed the stories before, so that was interesting.
Thanks Joel. Goodnight everyone.
Who’s here on a night shift listening To this ?
Afternoon shift
@@Maddylad20 same now lol

The story about the old Martin guitar sounds really close to Billy Strings and his whole life story!
Woohoo! Two hours of stories! Thanks for the holiday treat, Joel!
npc comment
@@sillyratface What is "npc comment?" Lol....what does that mean?
Is it me or I've heard these stories already. At least the first 3-4 so far lol probably a good thing I've listened to each one your videos few times each lol
Ikr, I thought it was deja vu when I heard "copypasta-ed" in the second story, came to see the comments
Yep he keeps repeating them :/
Raining dark night ; my favorite setting to listen to you.
brilliant timing my guy 💜 time to clock off for the night
My name is Evelyn, its not a common name so hearing it pop up twice in a story was chilling
So pleased about this treat! 🇬🇧♥️🇬🇧♥️
I Love the opening music, it gave me goosebumps just now as I'm outside my house looking for my cat, and it's totally dark tonight, no moonshine, it kinda freaked me out but I love it at the same time...😬
I work 2am til 9am min through Friday and I love listening to you!
HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!!!!
Some of the stories were repeated from previous videos… still fall asleep to it though.
love love love these long videos 🥰
Killer stories delivered by a smooth ear candy voice.
That first story got me angry lol. Dude goes from 3$ to 2000$ and you didn't think anything of it?! Didn't research thoroughly nor get it appraised...
Absolute density personified.
Goodnight everyone hope you sleep well
You need and deserve 1mil subs. You are the most reliable creator on RUclips IMO. Well the ones I listen to. You never click bait. Never ramble . Don’t talk at the end to wake us up. Not full of adds. You are the only man who can talk me into bed apart from my husband ;)
lmao I used to tell lighthouse horror the same thing almost(when he posted daily)😂 "he was the only man I could count on no matter what and always made me excited for bed time" I think I finally went to far when my baby was born and I said she has heard his voice every night in my belly so she probably thinks hes her dad😂😅😅😅 sounded less creepy and more funny in my head, but typed out its pretty creepy👀
The idol from the first story sounds a lot like he sold a statuette of the Lovecraftian being known as Tsathoggua.
Thanks for including the blackout ripper (Gordon F. Cummins). His crimes are horrible enough that I am surprised he hasn't received more attention.
Holy smokes, this is awesome ✌️
You're such a hard worker, plus the chilling app.
Take care 🤗
Been waiting up for this!
Wonderful stories thank you...I have to say the music you used for each ending is scary on its own...
New intro is 🔥
🔥
Love these long ones. Thanks Joel. Always appreciated. 👍
abt to go to sleep listening to this, goodnight you guys.
They sold their family's ancient cultural artifact.
Love the new intro, man! One of the best ones yet (if not the best, along with the skeletal soldiers witnessing a nuclear explosion)! The sound of this with that visual would work greatly as well, I think!
I’ve always liked that one too 😊
Yes, no kidding! =^) Of course all of his intros are fantastic, but I've always been partial to these two especially!
Totally agreed. I'm a very small dive watch channel and some of my watches I review I still have to pay a discounted price for and I've never been offered money to review. I'm still going to be honest and speak the truth. You did and are doing the right thing. Message Dillon this. "Wrong is wrong, right is right just as much the fact that rain is wet" Then tell him the truth has never lied. Only denied when you buy! My channel is puny and tiny compared to both of yours but as a reviewer, collector and a genuine person who cares about what's right, I absolutely agree with you. My best and my respects.

Happy birthday,bro
@@kruser00 thank you 😊
I love long stories like this it takes me awhile to fall asleep so long stories like this help me sleep. Thank you
The power out stories are kinda funny for me, everyone gets so scared and stuff, but I live in South Africa and we have about 1-4 power outs a day...it sucks but you really get used to not having electricity for hours a day.
Joel's voice, narration,5 ⭐👍🙂!
I am always painting & creating, often into the wee hours - prefer listening to great stuff while working and after countless shows, topics I've become very selective; poor verbal skills, nasal or monotone😴 mispronunciation and lax diction, I just. . . won't bother. Thank you, Joel, you're the Best!! 🥰
Love your stories and narrations.
The squatch story was un- nerving. We have one coming out of the woods here. He seems calm but he is a very big guy. He's never been so sneaky. He sings at night. Really pretty but unusual sounding.
Have one what? A Sasquatch?
I fell asleep while listening to the story which began at 1:03:42 and literally dreamed about the entire account 🙃
The guy and his friend that the old psychic lady had predicted their futures, she wasn't wrong when she said what you're looking for is in your pocket. She was right. All he had to do was look in his phone which was one of the items in his pocket
