This is my favorite subscription. ❤️ I especially love the “middle of the woods” stories, alien encounters, and the skin-walker stories. I would listen to you read the phone book.

[@bunnibloopers8466]

[@rosastretz9473]

The first story was unique in a way, Though tragic I can't help but to think that there was some beauty to it .

[@jeselyntalon9582]

Imagine if they didn't go to the old house, the poor woman would've decayed to the bones. It's so sad

[@shawnbbunbbbybbb3942]

What all of the neighbors did in the fourth story made me so happy and I really wish more stories would go that way

[@Emily-lh6em]

One of the things a lot of narrators on youtube over look is transition sounds & timestamps. It's a small thing but it makes a big difference. The stories easily bleed together and makes them hard to find if you fall asleep or got distracted.. Even bigger channels don't always do it or do it in a way that kills the mood. The transition sound has become an iconic part of the let's read experience. I love the sound and wonder where he found it. Its calming and doesn't ruin the mood or make your heart jump. I heard one once where it was a loud witches cackle or something like that and it made so i couldn't really fall asleep to it because it would jump scare you. This is one of the ways joel puts extra effort in for us. Thank you. 🎀🌷

[@NatureForce37]

Very nicely put! All of those queues and details make a difference. You'd love Urmaker 's videos. His transition sounds are nice, too. You should check him out one day! The guy is a true trooper! He saved an animal, is extremely funny, and though his daughter died very young several years ago, he puts out awesome content like he's the happiest guy in the world!

[@Ooorangey]

@@NatureForce37 I agree I love urmakerr!! And both let's read and urmaker have the same chill vibe ❤️ love their voices!

[@52ponybike]

You can see there's a small gap between stories. But, they 'might' be commercial ads. I don't know because I've had adblockplus for about 4 years. No ads anywhere on the internet and what a sanity saver!

[@charlottestreet3301]

What are timestamps

[@kayelynnphelps8676]

The first one broke my heart . . . . The interesting thing with these stories is that sometimes, instead of sending chills down my spine, they make me cry, laugh, or even make me angry. And there's nothing wrong with that. Besides, fear is in the eye of the beholder, I bet the first story spooked plenty of people. Wonderful work, Lets Read.

[@halloweengiraffe]

Never stops being my favourite notification. Thanks for the regular content Joel, you're a champion x

[@ZephyrinSkies]

The story about the gang being burnt felt so great.

[@wurd23]

I always approach videos that say "true story" with caution because i believe thats exactly what it should be, a true story!. Stories that involve someone who somehow gets seperated from the group and encounter someone scary or a scary situation and when they get back to the group the dont tell them anything about what they saw? Who the hell would do that? If i saw a man in the woods in the middle of nowhere you better believe my camp is gonna hear about it when/if i get back. I hear so many "true" stories where the narrating character says the same thing.

[@corvid1926]

Or a story where a a house house appears and disappears out of nowhere!

[@archerjames8707]

You know it's a bs story when it sounds like a clichéd movie script or the entire point of the story is to push a political message.

[@Captainn4t]

Story 2 - You're telling me you wouldn't look crazed and on edge if some stranger with a gun (he was hunting) broke into your cabin, ate your food, and slept there overnight? I feel for the old man, haha

[@archerjames8707]

I wrote the same before I saw your comment. The old man has more of a right to write a story.

[@charlottestreet3301]

He probably thought that the cabin was abandoned

[@amandahicks6025]

And then he gaslit, saying "crazy" old man!

[@weeabooper]

[@icantthinkofaname15]

[@lingimagz]

Lol helps though

[@PhilosophyofElivagar]

I can't help but tune out when they start describing architecture and layouts

[@dahliacheung6020]

It doesn't help any more than it would if they slipped the details in when and where they're needed, a sign of good writing. But some of these writers are so ridiculously awful- I just hope they keep writing, keep practicing and take all the constructive criticism they can get. Criticism such a -start the story with... THE STORY and add details as necessary. Beginning your story with an introductory paragraph "setting the scene" may not bother those unfamiliar with editing/literary norms but for a lot of us even including those unfamiliar, it's annoying, unnecessary, and takes away from the story. You want to draw people in with the first few lines, not bore them away by sounding more like an architect than an author.

[@natalinegrete8355]

The first story as sad as it is. The out come is heart warming..

Story # 2. Imagine having such little self-awareness that you intrude on a stranger's cabin armed with a rifle, and you think he's the crazy one for being paranoid. The guy comes in to find an armed man sleeping in his cabin. How would anyone react? Think about coming into your home to find an armed stranger in your bed. But, somehow, he's the bad guy. The guy whose cabin he broke into should have written the story.

I tried rainforest sounds the other night and It wasn’t the same, had to switch over to you.. Only problem is I never hear all the stories cause I pass out lol

[@1andonlydasilent1]

These stories remind me of the times I had to walk past my ONCE lively grandpa’s house I grew up in back in the early 2000s before it was torn down... I now get that same eerie feeling with my great aunt’s house since she passed away in early February this year... those are the type of chills that aren’t very welcoming at least to me!!! So much memories in both houses!

It was a bittersweet story.. surprisingly I didn’t cry. I cry a lot too. Don’t feel bad. It’s healing for the soul. It’s a good thing to be able to feel those emotions. It just means you have a heart and care. Something that the world we live in today needs more of. Many people don’t understand that type of emotion.

Then they just come across her body in the house long enough for it to be that decomposed?

Number 4 is genuinely disturbing, if only because of the narrator's absolute lack of concern at learning that all of the adults in his neighborhood, (likely including their parents and their friend's parents} are callous, ruthless murderers. Like.... yeah, one of the adults got beaten up and pistol whipped, but he's still alive. The whole neighborhood responded to that by burning down a building with 6 people in it??? and everyone's just totally fine with that?? that's fucking insane and terrifying.

When I was doing my training and schooling to become an EMT I had to do a short amount of clinical work at a trauma center and on an ambulance with 2 paramedics. When I started at the trauma center my first patient had died while getting an MRI. I had been tasked to go with an ER tech to bring her back to her trauma suite in the ER and when we started to transfer her back to the gurney that is when I pointed out that she wasn't sleeping and that I believed that she had passed. Quickly my suspicions were correct. Over course we started life saving measures that were unsuccessful. We notified the family and after they finished saying their goodbyes, I was then tasked with helping to put her into the mortuary bag and the air in her lungs rushed out and psst her vocal chords which caused her to make this unnerving groaning that almost sounded like the word help. I ran out of the room into the hallway panicking. No one had warned me about this. Not my instructor. Not the ER tech. Not any of the nurses or doctors. I knew about them possibly evacuating their bowels and bladder but not that. I quickly regained my composure and shakily finished up. Afterwards I was able to see how humorous it had appeared seeing me run out of the room at warp speed saying, "NO, NO, NO, NO WAY IS THAT NORMAL! " Everyone had gotten a good laugh at my expense but then again so did I. No one had really thought that it was something to tell me and I can see how it could slip their minds to tell me especially with everything else that I was expected to learn to save someone's life, while that was something rather minor that will occur after someone passes. I wasn't trying to minimize the patients passing by any means by telling this story either because every life is important and one of many reasons why I chose this profession.
