Been watching your videos for 5 years now. It’s nice to have something to rely on at the end of the day to fall asleep to. Hope you have a wonderful thanksgiving next week :)

[@SoCalRegisteredNurse]

I didn’t see this drop on the podcast today. I was hoping it would be there in time for my early afternoon nap. I’ve been checking and didn’t see it on Apple’s podcast

[@bandybones6651]

Im laying in bed in the uk, its now 06:03 and ive been awake all night recovering from covid and wondering if I've kept my job for being off sick. Listening to this has helped me relax and take my mind off my worry.

[@7NativeRN]

I hope you’re recovering well and I hope you still have your job.🙏🏽

[@lantearia]

Wishing you a swift and healthy recovery, and best of luck retaining your job

[@vanessaguinane4379]

[@Sundrop0613]

Going off of Story 11 starting at 1:38:39 I honestly think your life is worth so much more than your job to everyone in your life. Sending healing thoughts to you, and I hope you recover soon 🙏🏻.

Let's Reads voice replaced Jason Hill after he disappeared like a fart in the wind. Joel has become more beloved than Jason. You have accompanied me on countless adventures through Harran, Tamriel and Zagoria. Thank you for your art, it enriches people's experience in more ways than you know.

[@PrimateProductions]

Oh no...speak for yourself! Though I love this channel and Let's Read is in the very short list of my most loved narrators he most definitely did NOT "replace" Jason Hill! I'm not sure why you would even say that considering they don't even usually narrate the same types of works, they aren't in the exact same genre! It's wrong that things went down in such a way that we lost Jason...it almost made me boycott that channel!

[@KayJoyy]

@@PrimateProductions He doesn't replace anyone because he at the top. He absolutely has the number one voice of all voices. Its hard for me to listen to other voices now because his is so beautiful, deep, and soothing which enhance the story telling experience.

Story 6: *DO NOT EVER FEEL* shame about getting into an abusive relationship. You do not fall in love with an abuser; they have honed their skills or manipulation long before you crossed paths. You got out, healed and found love on the other side of that abuse and trauma. Source: Clinical psychopathic bio father

I believe this story of the CRAWLER. I recommend Jeff Nadolney’s KZbin channel as you’ll hear some Crawler stories on there along with my fave, Dogman & Bigfoot encounters.

[@yahainHotPink]

You're back Joel! Yayyy! I waited for the Live yesterday, but it worked out as I needed to go to bed at an earlier time to finally get over being sick. Thank you!! Have a great night and good start to your week. 🌹

Story 11 peeved me. Yall should have called 911 first instead of throwing water to “wake him up”

[@chopsandtoots]

My thoughts exactly. Hard to say if early intervention would have 100% saved him but my god they waited way too long. People should not ignore concerning signs in their bodies.

[@chopsandtoots]

Story 11 is so frustrating. Everyone did everything wrong and what happened could have been potentially prevented. People need to stop blowing off serious medical concerns and trying to play doctor at home. Story 12 the second someone slips in a river you don't just sit there and wait for the person to get out, and it's never funny. Story 13, you recognized the kids at school but couldn't identify them, didn't tell anyone about the line either?

[@deviljoegaming]

The first story is definitely interesting, but there's no way in hell a 13 year old picked up and ran with his dad when he could only handle a .22

[@SamSparks7]

Yeah that was a super weird story because his dad died in the situation how would he be able to go back into the woods later ?

[@chopsandtoots]

The Rake is fake.

[@JazzyBunny]

I agree. Without evidence, this story seems pretty fake. Like I've had some pretty insane stuff happen in Oregon, but not like this. I'm super skeptical about stories where they actually fight off whatever creature is in the story. Like I need some evidence. Some scars or something, maybe even a report.

[@tonij9089]

The first story is a recycle of an old one. Please tell me these all arent old ones. I hate it when that happens.

[@ajkazun877]

and it was a fake story ugh

[@chopsandtoots]

The back half of the submissions are new afaik

[@andreavaonakis]

Sweet dreams ✌🏻

[@AnnaContreras-p6t]

I wish there was a channel that just read only real stories. Those to me are the scariest, cause they're real!

[@chopsandtoots]

This channel normally does true scary stories (or at least the submissions claim to be) but every now and then a creepypasta/nosleep story makes its way onto here. The biggest telltale signs are overly wordy/descriptive language and if it sounds fake, it probably is. Also when the author sounds really cocky or "I am very smart" the story is guaranteed to be fake.

[@quillenduck]

first one is one of my favorite stories thank you for the thousands of hours of stories

[@sanimi]

Always have to skip the first story when I hear it. The guy obviously has never been outside of a city if he thinks deer live in dens and a skinwalker is different from the Rake. Just stupid and it makes me mad when I hear it 😭

[@chopsandtoots]

My favorite is when people are in random parts of the country and cry "skinwalker". Skinwalkers are specific to Navajo folklore. You're not gonna run into one in Washington or Maine.

[@johannessmithenstein]

As a professional poker player, "the rake" is truly terrifying.

[@amymccranie8152]

Thanks for the stories!!! Love Mondays and Thursdays!!

[@thatoldclassic2927]

If these are true wouldnt story 1 have some serious media coverage considering someone was ripped to shreds and a house was mauled? Lol

[@chopsandtoots]

It's definitely fake. The Rake isn't real; it started as an online scary story, not sure if from Creepypasta or Nosleep. Biggest tell of a fake story is when the author gets way too descriptive and wordy. Like the true scary stories can be long but they aren't overly descriptive like a fictional story. People generally aren't good at lying (usually put in way too much detail) and trying to make a convincing fake story usually doesn't bode well and it's pretty obvious. Another tell is when the author is cocky and has a "I am very smart" attitude, idk why this is such a thing.

[@valverdejo8810]

I've gotten so used to the stories so im very happy for this selection of stories. Hopefully this keeps me awake 🫶🏻
