Hunter guy... U keep talking about the other guy had a gun. But as a hunter, didn't u also have a gun?? Maybe that's why he kept on staring at u as u walked away from his home that u were trespassing in. Its a possibility

🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@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

[@grackathecat]

why wouldn’t the hunting guy warn his friends- what if they got hurt

[@liastorm795]

Exactly people are so stupid and selfish🙄

[@amandahicks6025]

Because he broke in some poor old man's house and ate his food, lmao

[@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!

[@mslibrarenea89]

RIGHT. LOL I was like 🤔😒🤣

[@breriley6723]

*Random house appears over night* ...cue courage the cowardly dog music. 😂

[@mattr.1887]

The people in some of these stories really need to warn their friends about the creeps and psychos out there, instead of making up bs.

[@dannydevito6642]

yeah its just cuz all the stories are fake

[@halloweengiraffe]

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

[@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.

[@archerjames8707]

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.

[@charlottestreet3301]

He didn't kown someone was living there

[@amandahicks6025]

And then he was talking like the poor old man was the "crazy" one. I hate people like that!!

[@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

[@weeabooper]

Nobody: Let's read stories: I should describe how this house is set up

[@icantthinkofaname15]

Lol

[@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.

Skinwalkers are navajo spirits. Let’s Read is a guy who narrates scary stories. Not to be precious about it but stop using “wendigo” / “skinwalker” as a synonym for “cryptid” - it isn’t funny or creative and it doesn’t make any damn sense lol.

[@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.

Am i the only one who cried for the first one Edit: i have been really emotional lately so thats probably why i cried I'm like a cry baby for the past month

[@michaeltobias3110]

Nothing wrong with crying

[@southernladyish]

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.

When I was younger, I was asked to go with a group of people to an abandoned haunted house & I said no. They asked if I was scared & I said; no, just apprehensive. They said; that's a fancy word, what does that mean? I said; it means you're scared with a college education. 😉

[@Bloodedskull19]

Felt like I missed something in the first story, because the mom was gone for a while but they didn't think she was missing? The aunt seems like she would've at least known her sister was gone longer than normal or that something was off when she left. Then they just come across her body in the house long enough for it to be that decomposed?

[@kendralauren7033]

I was thinking the same, not trying to discredit the storyteller but I also thought it was weird she found out at that exact moment in time about the house after so many years of not knowing and they found her there

This is not shading Let's Read. I am NOT saying anything bad about this content creator. In fact, this channel was a part of the first ten channels i subbed to many years ago . So you wanted to go see a house just because there was a picture of your mother holding you as a baby in front of it?!?! I mean the piece was written really very well. Just a few weeks ago I was looking thru my dead mother's photo albums and there were many pics of her standing in front of houses. And there were 3-4 with her AND me as a baby in front of a home I didn't recognize. I never had the feeling of ..."mmmmmust go there and see it" Edit: I just don't like when people spend time writing something just to lie about fact or fiction.
