Ughh I hateeee when I hear the birds chirping at the end! Lol. This was a good one Joel keep em coming ‼️❤️

[@stephstish4233]

I love home alone stories. They creep me right out. Ty let's read. I'm always excited for Monday Wednesday Friday

[@baileynicole333]

Call me lazy if you want but I've done nothing but lay in bed and binge listen to you all day.

[@clever.librarian2023]

I've done that many times. You're good...😅

[@anklemania]

Lazy! That is a dream day to me! Naps, laying around in sweats, read, podcasts....I hope you enjoyed your day!

[@01SaltyWitch]

Same actually 😂

[@samantajones6534]

Me too only thing I got up and do was cook dinner 😂!!

[@clever.librarian2023]

​@samantajones6534 Atleast you did that! I am proud of you. I put bread in my mouth and went back to bed 😂

[@pizzagroom6221]

I just love how obsessed she is with a clean kitchen. Even while bedridden, just the thought of dirty dishes in the kitchen is TOO MUCH.

[@jenreii]

Honestly, maybe I should be a bit more obsessed with a clean kitchen 😂 that's a future me's problem lol

[@hailey6018]

That my mom lol she is the same way drives me nuts when I lived with her

[@avamasquerade]

I couldn't figure out why she'd risk wasting a good surgery, or irreparable damage, and/or not being able to walk unassisted ever again all for a few dishes....I mean, nobody who matters is gonna be impressed with these "look at me! I'm a domestic badass" type of shenanigans...

[@bungalowmo]

I couldn't even listen to the absurdity of that story, so I moved on to the next one.

[@C6Wolves]

​@@avamasqueradeocd probably or boredom especially if ur used to long work and it suddenly stops

[@ladylyndawn]

The story his mother missing David was sad. My grandma has beliefs that when someone is close to dying. Passed loved ones would visit them, possibly to make the transition to the next life more comforting. No one else can see them but the one who is close to passing. I believe his mother was actually experiencing a supernatural occurrence and she is NOT crazy from being so grief stricken.

[@matthewenfinger766]

Honestly that could be true. But there's no way to ever prove it. Although my brothers ex's mom spent the last few weeks of her life in the hospital and said that her deceased husband kept visiting her at night. That he kept trying to do the NASTY with her. And yes, she referred to it as the NASTY. And before anyone asks, no it wasn't someone at the hospital trying to take advantage of her. She had family staying with her at all times. So I guess it's possible her deceased husband was trying to get some loving from her or she could of had dementia and was hallucinating/dreaming. Like I said we'll neve4 be able to prove it one way or the other.

[@Phoenix-mh5eo]

It's a VERY common thing for dying people to see pets or loved ones who are already dead. Regardless of why the phenomenon happens, it's super comforting to thinking that we will see dead loved ones before we die.

[@ladylyndawn]

@@Phoenix-mh5eo Right? It would make passing on more comforting and easier if we know we won’t be alone on the other side.

[@ladylyndawn]

@@matthewenfinger766 There is no way to prove it as it would be disrespectful to even try to prove this. No one wants some Paranormal crew and their equipment in a room to track any spiritual occurrence when they’re on their deathbed. Imagine one of your last memories is being treated like a liar lol

[@organic_angel]

This is true. My mom saw relatives who had passed a day or two before she passed. She would always point them out. I believe she was actually seeing David

[@p.k.5455]

I feel so bad for woman in story 4! Her mother having the nervous breakdown was just so sad. I pray that she found peace. Both mother and daughter!

[@arthurmoses7256]

Perfect day to spend the day after Halloween is listening to let’s read!

[@RishPanjeetJr]

Home alone stories are some of the best spooky ones. We can all identify with that (even brief) aspect of our childhoods.

[@Zaddyslove09]

I'm sorry but I couldn't help but Crack up at the mountain lion story. Scary yes, but funny. Alls I could imagine was a giant mountain lion constantly head butting the bathroom door. Lol. But in all true seriousness, I'm glad she made it out safe and sound.

[@nicholascunningham2342]

There is no way that’s a real story. They aren’t bruits, they are cats. Quiet and sneaky. They wouldn’t smash up the kitchen or head butt the door. I was waiting for her to say it pulled out a gun and started shooting. Haha

[@lukaspalmer4372]

I was expecting it to be a bear and started to laugh my ass off when he said mountain lion

[@SarahW.-ps6id]

For the lady in story 2 I understand not wanting a dirty kitchen cause I'm always going and checking on the dishes even the floors just to make sure cause that area of the house gets a lot of traffic. But also as someone who is expecting to get knee surgery soon I wouldn't have taken the chance or risk just in case I made the situation worse. But I'm glad you are safe and everything worked out.

[@flimsyenthusiasm5769]

lol, she reminded me of my grandmother after her knee surgery, we had to practically tie her to the bed so she would stay down.

[@bombdotcom2168]

That first story just hit far too close to home for me. My parents didn't separate until long after I was out of the house, but having a drugged up mom who acted just- unstable like that was something that kept me awake at night more often than not. Nothing terrifies me more than my mom relapsing or showing up late at night at the house I'm currently in after what she did. I hope the OP in the first story is alright because I can't imagine how traumatic seeing your own parent like that was.

[@jacobbowling263]

Joel, you are awesome and you are an amazing narrator.

[@sir.spookeys.stories]

Joel, you are by far my favourite horror story narrator! I love you channel, your community and it was from listening to you that made me start my channel and give story narrations a go. Love from your massive fan from England!

[@justinamovall5443]

I subscribed to ya and am gonna check out your channel ❤

[@sir.spookeys.stories]

@@justinamovall5443 Thank you so much 🙏🏽

[@glormond]

The best horror stories narrator on KZbin! I literally listened to a dozen other channels, but no one else is as good as Let’s read.

[@ericbumbles4145]

I think that 'David" was really present in some fashion. Dementia and the mind are so hard to cope with. But I do believe she felt something present that felt like her husband. My own mom is losing her memory and gets scattered very easily, it is very hard to watch this once super social and outgoing woman (in many ways she still is) experience these memory deficits so often now. I thank the Cosmos she still knows her children at 97, but its sad to see her slipping.

[@jenarosec37]

Aw the story with David was so sad :(

[@giniwalters8401]

Great stories and awesome narration 💙💙 Thank you Joel!!! You are amazing and I greatly appreciate you 💙💙 God bless you, keep you healthy and safe 🙏❤️🙏 Much love to you ❤

This opening with that chilling/haunting theme music is my favorite out of all of them. Really sets the mood before hearing the stories.

There is a storm where I am, right now and its pouring with rain. Its the perfect atmosphere for some creepy stories.

[@ec5625]

Ooh where you from? We had bad storms and floods 3/4 weeks ago (Perth, Scotland)

[@ThatEvilHag]

I’m so jealous. It’s 90F in SoCal and I fkn hate it.

[@ec5625]

​@@ThatEvilHagjealous? People have died here in these storms and in the floods

[@ThatEvilHag]

@@ec5625 uh, and how was I supposed to know? OP doesn’t say where they live, nor do they speak about severity of the storm.

[@Crazybatladyx]

Those are my favourite times to listen

[@esk8er900]

I’ll never understand why ppl call friends or relatives when they suspect a burglary or home invasion. Unless it’s a nearby cop or combat service member, the 1st call is always 911… better yet take a trip to the local arms shop to purchase a “device” with some lessons along with some ASCCI insurance.

[@darkangelprincess101]

I can't speak for everybody, but my family live right down the street and they can walk here faster than the cops can get here. If I'm afraid for my life, they can get here in under a minute with a gun. Sure I'll be on the phone with the cops but I'm letting my family know first so someone can be here faster.

[@MatthewMaddox-ss3zp]

Exactly, cops aren't always fast enough. Especially in some neighborhoods

[@ssplague]

The first story hurt my heart man…I understand his initial fear but I’m sure she wasn’t going to hurt either of them. She’s a homeless, drug addicted, broken woman, of course she’s going to have some sort of protection or take the opportunity to acquire some more. The fact that she didn’t respond to the police violently, and the reaction she had towards seeing her son proves that…It’s been ten years man, you’d think he would have figured that out by now. Forgive her for yourself, not for her sake, because you sound like a deeply troubled and sad person.

[@maevependragon]

As a mother it hurt to hear it. This was a sad story.

[@SpyroAndMrKatFan]

As a person who grew up being abused by my mother until I was taken away from her, and then being abused by her when we reconnected, I honestly am not surprised OP was afraid. Just because she is a mother doesn't make her some saint. There are abusive mothers who are violent. My mother's moods would change quickly, and she was even able to choke her own mother, my grandmother, in front of me, because of a minor argument. This woman chose the drugs and that lifestyle over her husband and child. She might be too far gone.

[@tylerdavis3]

Seems like you’ve never had a bad addict as a parent. If they’re that throwed off, when they’re high, they’re completely unpredictable. She could be on meth and have been up for 2 weeks at that point and extremely paranoid. If that was the case and her son surprised her rummaging she might hallucinate and think he was someone else, she might recognize him and have a delusion that he is a robot that looks like him that was sent to kidnap her. Sure she didn’t react badly to the police but you have absolutely zero way to know her state of mind. Also don’t forget, she literally broke into the house. There was nothing wrong with the kids reaction. You are right about forgiving her, especially for the sake of yourself, you must do that to emotionally process it otherwise you’ll be unaware of how badly it’s weighing you down. But that mother is absolutely not entitled to anything from her child, other than basic human respect.

[@suzyq53511]

Sick to call the cops on your mom. I'd nvr do that

[@ju-did-ith]

Sweet dreams everyone and as always, thank you Joel

[@frederic450]

You are the best narrator ever

[@frederic450]

Best narrator I ever heard

[@casuallyceltic]

This comment is gold. It's funny bc he's a faceless narrator so what other senses are you supposed to use to perceive him? Yeah, of course he's the best you've ever heard, it's not like you can taste or smell him. I'm sorry if you didn't mean for this to be funny but I'm a deeply flawed human being.

[@j-doodlewittanoodle5437]

mr nightmare??

[@christianmenard9033]

Idk why, but the thought of burglarizing someone's home only to get roasted about your middle school kid choice of axe body spray is hilarious to me!🤣 Dude got caught & burned! 😅

[@animeandwieardness6132]

I am so excited to hear these terrifying tales! Sorry I couldn't join the livestream last night ❤

[@ceefizzy8974]

I love to crochet while i listen to your channel. Im making a sweater out of granny squares in single crochets right now for my 3 yr old daughter!

[@tammyboki5223]

Perfect way to end the day! Thank you 😊

Story number 5 is why I think Lisa's should come with some kind of exception to paying the fee for breaking your lease early if someone tried to break into your house or apartment or if your life is not safe where you are currently living.

Hallowed be thy ween, everyone.

omg the ending got me good

[@haydenclark6029]

I did NOT expect to hear that at 3 am lmao I’m still laughing my ass off. So glad someone also stayed till the very end

[@edassimas6225]

I LOVE this channel. Always fascinating.❤

[@BabyDollAlison2112]

Yeah, before my mom died she started talking to our dead relatives. It’s actually a pretty common phenomenon for actively dying individuals.

[@tobennaokoli4450]

For the first story, I don’t think the mum planned to hurt you (probably still perceived you as a child). She may have been planning to seriously harm or even kill your father tho so you’re blessed it happened while he wasn’t home (though it would obviously have been better if it hadn’t happened at all).

[@suzyq53511]

I think it's sick calling the cops on your mom

[@Dee_Cypher]

"I'm sorry if this story was a downer" *me going from almost crying to laughing out loud* xD

[@itschloetill]

Why is no one talking about the 'sticking out your gyat'????

[@astordeviagge9591]

"the older I got I seemed to play the story in games less but, for some reason on this night I wanted to play something with some substance" this is definetely a true story :(

[@fynchan11]

I'm sure David was there with her. My older sis was taking care of nice older lady as her private nurse. They became really close in friendly matters and the lady insisted she sees her parents, siblings, family and talked with them too. My sis said she had to strongly kept herself from crying since she knew goodbye was getting close. Two days later the lady passed away. Since then my sis is convinced that when we're about to die our loved ones do come back to say "there's nothing to be affraid of, come with us"

[@courtneysmith9159]

I discovered your channel lately. Its AMAZING 😂!!

[@sergeantschlumpf6368]

[@valeriehaynes8522]

So… The mountain lion story is one of the scariest stories I’ve heard yet wow Thank God for quick thinking I was terrified listening to this story can’t imagine living through it not sure how I would’ve reacted. The land owner is probably from the area so mountain lion stories is probably super normal that’s why he laughed is my guess

[@riakun]

I’m curious as to why the mountain lion acted in such a way. I’m not an animal expert. By any means, I just know that mountain lions are generally more shy creatures, but will get aggressive if you get too close, especially if it’s a Mother mountain lion. Perhaps it was starving, or sick? Or am I just more ignorant to how wildlife acts? (I technically have mountain lions close to where I live, and I was taught certain ways to protect yourself from them If you happen to run into them on a hike, but I don’t know too much about them as animals) Are there any zoologist or rangers in the comments that can give an explanation for its behavior?

[@whiteraven90]

I'm neither. But, uh, rabies?

[@riakun]

@@whiteraven90 that’s also what I was thinking, but I wasn’t sure tbh

[@connielovesmilk]

i think that ending shocked me more than the whole video

[@jjaannae]

Lolll I’m just curious. Why the hell were you worried about locking your car doors! That mountain lion must’ve known how to use his fingers

I love your videos, been watching for years. I wanted to ask if you would consider changing the bird noises at the end of the video. Everytime I hear it, it's like morning arrives, and then to top it all off, it also means the end of an amazing video I watched all the way to the end. If I don't wanna stir from bed and I don't get a let's read video next. I have to get up and pick one.(I know first world problems) maybe you would grace us with a poll to ask about the chirping birds at the end. But either way I'm always gonna listen to let's read when I have the chance.
