Only YOU could narrate A Rudolph story without giggling or even the hint of a smirk in your voice while telling the tale :) Well done! Thank you for providing these narrations ~ there is no better gift!

Forgot abt mr nightmare

[@xxfolklorexx]

He did the last story so well that I was convinced that the Rudolph story was an actual true crime story that motivated the kids movie.😆

[@tonydoherty2190]

Who nose maybe rudolf didn't do it and it was just a coincidence

[@xLoadez]

A minute of silence for all the stories I miss due to falling asleep immediately

[@piperatthegatesofdawn]

No

[@tylerledford4470]

You missed Rudolph

[@badbunny6572]

Same...I just re-listened to em now...

[@kiidzbop2621]

Amen

[@nevada5862]

The last story. Oh my goodness. Your tone didn't waver for a second, and I had a brief moment of, "Wait... Is the song based on a true story?" And then the name-calling began... 😂 You are a phenomenal narrator.

[@BlackSheepNara]

Wouldn’t that make it bad narration because it’s confusing the listener?

[@grandmasternyx1514]

@@BlackSheepNara Convincing, not confusing.

[@nevada5862]

If you can almost convince an intelligent-ish-albeit-sleep-deprived 33-year-old that Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is a true story, then you have god-level narration skills.

[@michaeljacksonofmorecambeo1288]

I fall asleep listening to stories like this and plenty of paranormal stories

[@brandywaldrop767]

Wth... Lol I was thinking the same thing. I was so confused. I'm glad I'm not the only one!!

[@Sheldezare]

Bruce wasn't a "nice person that went to the church", Bruce was just able to hide his nature better than others.

[@mikecropens5374]

Bruce got divorced and got fucked over big time

[@LoneWolfeMedia]

@@mikecropens5374 and that justifies his mass murder spree? Men really do stick together no matter how horrific the circumstances.

[@tablescissors]

Bingo. 👍🏾

[@tablescissors]

@@mikecropens5374 actually, he'd been neglegent to a previous child (which caused them to become crippled) then abandoned that family before this relationship -- narcissists can be impossible to get along with, especially the malignant sort (which we are pretty much breeding in society lately) and narcissistic rage becomes EVERYONE'S problem.

[@marciturner4980]

Wolf in sheep's clothing.

[@astridlove2327]

Wow this is the first time I have ever heard so much detail surrounding the sodder family . I have never hear anyone else explain the background to this story. Thanks!

[@jigglykirby]

The Stuff You Should Know podcast also made a very detailed account of the incident this year

[@OrangeMilanoCookie]

So frustrating and sad!

[@mammothfilms]

I too heard new details regarding the Sodder case. I don’t recall mention of the photo the family received years later that was said to be one of the children as an adult.

[@brandienichole7474]

That’s a new twist on an old story. You forgot to mention how those reindeer ran over a grandma one Christmas Eve. That’s a pivotal moment. You had me in the beginning. I wondered if it was based on a true story.

[@jenniferg7739]

Rudolph the sequel- Rudolph's revenge. Sorry kiddies🤣. That last one had me rolling. A light hearted tale turned dark, I love it!

[@chaoticfangurl567]

I literally cannot understand that one guy feeling guilty after dismembering his wife. Like I could kinda understand maybe if he shot her only thinking in the moment. But like freaking dismembering her after she’s already dead?? What a sick vile person

[@tablescissors]

but he was "drunk" and didn't mean to beat her that hard Plus he could predict the future

[@RegisteredNurseL.A.]

I, too, have heard of the reindeer bullying problem. I heard St. Nicholas said to let them “work it out themselves.” However, Mrs. Claus had mama bear mode turned up to 10 and attempted to intervene, but one of the other reindeer charged at her, knocking her down a snowy bank. She had a couple broken ribs but eventually made a full recovery That was a cute ending story ☺️

[@adhdauroradannon2810]

Only someone referring to themselves as "nurse" could be just as entertaining and creative has the narrator. That was great I thoroughly enjoyed your short story there. Maybe next time Mrs Claus will know better! 😂

[@KirbyNicholson3]

The Rudolph story was just too cute!! That made my morning!! I’m currently assembling my son’s Christmas presents while listening to you!! You NEVER disappoint!!! Merry Christmas!!!

[@JenniferDawe]

Something important to note on Story 5 , back in the early days of Coroners, they rotated who was the coroner every few months or years, kind of like an elected official. They were regularly bought off by organized crime or local politicians to cover things up or make things "solved" real fast with the wrong person being convicted. A few books/documentaries like the Poisoners handbook I think it was called talk about it briefly. It was often just like the local butcher or police officer who got to play coroner that week, not someone who was skilled in autopsies.

[@arsewell]

They still do that depending on the county and state. In some places it's a medical doctor who is hired like anyone else, in others it's more of a political role with the medical examiner doing the actual autopsy, exam, investigation, etc.

[@elileit]

I usually don't laugh at these stories but the Rudolph story made me laugh out loud :D

[@alysareed922]

Being from West Virginia, I love when people talk about the interesting and creepy things that have happened here and not about how we have relations with our family members. The Sodder Family mystery is one of the coolest and creepiest things that has happened here! Thank you for covering the story!

[@RegisteredNurseL.A.]

My dad’s side is from West Virginia! Beckley, to be exact. Hello 👋🏻 fellow Appalachian! And no, none of our cousins married each other 😂

[@TheUKisThere]

@@RegisteredNurseL.A. No step siblings?

[@TheUKisThere]

Didn’t know that was a thing. You guys sacrificed Alabama, didn’t you?

[@tessaducek5601]

I love to watch Sean on Mysterious WV . He covers many fascinating cold cases. Plus. I love looking at the pictures of the towns and area. Such a beautiful state.

[@SteveGunderson26]

Hearing a serious breakdown of the bullying Rudolph endured during his tenure with the Clause Corporation LLC made my effin day.. Hahaha!

[@mdma.843]

i’ve heard the second story from a party attenders pov but it’s even more interesting now that i’ve heard it from both

[@GrumbleGamer18]

If you ever come across that version of the story and think to come back to this comment It’d be awesome if you could drop a link to it, that sounds really interesting

[@mikayla3785]

do you happen to have the link to the party attendees pov

[@annie_xo]

The last one made me smile. Thank you Lets Read for everything you do, hope you have a wonderful Christmas.

[@animeandwieardness6132]

I have been waiting all day for this, looking forward to the show

[@kerriboag9235]

Omg loved the story of Rudulph. Made me laugh with how serious you were 😂😂😂

[@alanawesomelol]

The second story ! I remember learning about it in a justice class in highschool ! And I live in Covina too also , so that is pretty cool that you brought this story up 🙏

[@SheaWaiteAMDG]

I’ll never get over how much more real it becomes hearing stories that happened so close to places I’ve lived

[@debbiemcclure2874]

Poor Rudolph... No reindeer games this year either. That last story was heartbreaking though frfr. And to think people in power or at the very least had knowledge of where this man's children were is sickening. Tyfs God bless you

[@niquejim]

The fact that you not only made an adaptation of Rudolph as the last story with horror elements, but you did it with the same tone is just amazing.

[@Paddy-if3nd]

"They'll open the door for just about anyone..." THAT'S THE PROBLEM!

[@rebeccajuckett779]

I love it when you do true crime stories. Merry Christmas 🎄.

[@lonewolfnergiganos4000]

Barely two seconds in, and this is already getting good.

[@redneckwithajeep5001]

Well if I wasn’t impressed with your narration before I am now the ability to give no hint of laughter or smirk when telling a Rudolf story that paints him as a potential crime suspect is extremely impressive

[@thegodofpez]

The last twas the most chilling story of all. I'd like to hear how the Claus Corporation dealt with the mismanagement; perhaps it was all a marketing ploy to use Rudolph as their new mascot?

Merry Christmas to you and yours! Thank you for the wonderful videos and the last story of this one which was great and special!

[@jett8193]

Thanks for that last infamous case! Hearing all the gritty details made it well worth the wait, but, I plead with you, update us with any further developments on it, so we, the public, can all hope to remain safe, in our beds, pestered only by that d@mn Sugarplum family partying up in our heads.

[@Cloudkidd256]

Thank you once again for curing my insomnia:)

[@nathanholton5335]

Story 1► 0:00: Who did it? I have the answer that mystery, & it's also the same answer to who destroyed the other pubs too, & it's an acronym with 3 simple letters: I-R-A. In 1989, there was still an ongoing war between the (Catholic) Irish & the (Protestant) Brits, & these coldly calculated terrorist attacks of precision were their M.O. My guess is that the UK Gov. wanted to deal with the IRA behind the scenes, to prevent any further bloodshed related to the pub explosions from becoming further publicized, & thus, had the local PD officially leave it as an open case/unsolved "mystery."

[@tablescissors]

Plausible and I was surprised that the IRA wasn't mentioned.
