8 True Scary JOURNALIST Horror Stories

[@LetsReadPodcast]

Hope everyone had a good holiday weekend! For those that listen to these stories over on podcast, I'll be releasing weekly over there in 2022. Same schedule here. Woo!

[@NB-ir1me]

Did you record the second story with your mouth on the left side of the mic?? It's playing a bit louder from my left airpod than the right lol

[@LetsReadPodcast]

@@NB-ir1me Maybe its your hardware. Everything's recorded lately in mono, then doubled to stereo. So it should be even

[@crazycajun8079]

Are you recording with your right hand over your left ear because my left ear hurts?

[@LetsReadPodcast]

@@crazycajun8079 Probably just cuz the Libra moon forms a trine to Jupiter in Aquarius on the final degrees of their respective signs.

[@akia1222]

@@LetsReadPodcast Hope you had a lovely holiday. thank you!! Prefer your podcast over KZbin. Also, believe you are correct, it’s a hardware issue, not your recording. earbuds STINK! Suggest anyone having issues listening get a set of quality headphones, they are worth it!

[@father-lock]

Dude you’re readings got my ass through a 12 hour drive man thanks

[@Corrupt03]

Same here bro! (It was a 30 minute ride)

[@lonewolfnergiganos4000]

LR's videos are not just getting more scarier, they're getting more intense as well.

[@titotito3155]

Too scary actually. I almost peed myself. Should at least be some warnings. This is almost dangerous. What if I wet myself and get electrocuted?

[@domjean2267]

Was walking home listening to this and kept looking behind me

[@euroshane]

Love it

[@levinetral7046]

Keep it coming

[@-Reagan]

Yes, now that he’s finally either deep in reddit or off the reddit let’s not meet teet all together

[@darknesskingsized8996]

Pretty happy to see a true stories video that isn't just a bunch of Reddit stories. Especially from one of my favourite narrators. Keep up the good work, king.

Let's Read-- I unfortunately caught covid right before christmas so ive been isolated in a room by myself for the past 10 days. Your videos have made my isolation so much better and less lonely, im so glad you're posting so much around this time! Every time i reach the end of the video with birds chirping and you saying "hey friends" it just makes my day. Thank you for everything you do

[@shelbymartinez7248]

Man I hope you feel better soon stay up 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@KaiSaysThings]

Covid buddies! 😅😭 I hope you're feeling better, friend, and happy new year ❤️

[@Jesswithlessstress]

My husband got it right before and I have it now. We are fully vaccinated and I have the booster.. still sucks though.

[@soupw60fps49]

@@Jesswithlessstress be careful! i’m 17 and covid has robbed my highschool life from me. my grandma tested covid positive last week and she has a weak immune system….

[@corrienotcorey]

I hope you're feeling better now 🥺🥺

[@marievaleur7877]

Wow, double whammy as an American Brazilian from Virginia...duuuude! What a collection of terrifying stories. The Brazilian ones were done so well!

[@mokachoco89]

I'm absolutely stunned to suddenly hear about the Carlos Seabra case 😨 I never expect to hear about portuguese cases on foreign channels or podcasts (besides the Madeleine case), plus this case was so weird and has a few bizarre details that I'm surprised it's not talked about more often. Great and intense video! I'm always looking forward for your videos!

[@thegodofpez]

@Joel Patrol I love this community more than any other (which spans a good amount). Love this group. 💜

[@justforjacob]

you are hands down the best channel in your genre. your voice is perfect. you don't get all corny or dramatic. much respect!

[@toniapoynter8034]

I CONCUR... LET'S READ IS THE BEST!!🥰🥰😍😍💖💖

[@Kruhee]

What happened to Kim was awful but I am glad her killer didn't get away with it!

[@MirrenTheDragonKnight]

Her suffering and death are truly repulsive and undeserved, but would any journalist be stupid enough to go with a stranger, alone, on their property (especially something as remote and enclosed as a submarine), without camera personal (or a work partner if possible) or a weapon just in case? I mean, really, a stranger inviting you ou in the sea or a lake, alone, is not a red flag? I know good, proper (and non-regressive left) journalists take risks, but there are risks even they should not take.

[@NightEyeStudio1995]

You’re just fishing for angry responses, huh buddy?

[@MirrenTheDragonKnight]

@@NightEyeStudio1995 No. I just don't understand the wrecklessness.

[@MirrenTheDragonKnight]

@@NightEyeStudio1995 Besides, I clearly meant to 'undeserved' in the original comment. The lady's death was not her fault, of course, but if the poor fool had not done something so obviously, foolishly naive, she might just still be with us.

[@reginafowler3517]

@@MirrenTheDragonKnight: He must have been a prominent figure for her to request an interview with him to start with. He was a manufacturer of submarines, it wouldn't have seemed so out of the ordinary to conduct an interview about himself in the very thing he was most known for. What should have been an awesome interview and experience for her inside of a submarine, ended with her rape and murder, something I'm sure she never suspected. Sometimes red flags are camouflaged and can only be seen in hindsight.

[@JohanneCT]

When I read the title I knew Kim Wall’s case would be in there! Words cannot describe it… As a dane this is true horror in newer time 😔😔

[@PinkPanthress]

Thank Forvo! Listening to the first story, the one in Kičevo… :D I love your pronounciation so much, so far. ;) One of your best streams and also one of your best videos. *mwah*

[@imperialchalice]

I enjoy the exposure these kinds of stories receive. It reminds us there are still so many things we need to to help this world change.

[@sarajrgensen4150]

I've been waiting so long for you to cover Story 2 (7:22) since it's such a brutal murder case (and as a Dane I love to see my country represented ;)). I can die happy now.

[@cheesecake4648]

too many youtubers did it already

[@richsorrento4107]

Great topic this is a first I can't wait!

[@nightskystories]

I listen to so many scary stories on here that I get excited whenever one of you guys post a new video ❤❤❤ Happy New Year and can't wait to see what you'll give us next year! 😊

[@scottyp2505]

Same here, especially im stuck in the house with Covid so these channels have been saving me

[@kennyaintdead5488]

Perfect timing my friend 🙏☝️

[@bitemyshinnymetalass1569]

I forget sometimes how brave and how much dedication these reporters go through to chase a story that can expose something as large as a criminal enterprise or government corruption and the risks they take are sometimes the ultimate price to get their story out to us people. Thank you to those brave reporters and journalists. 🙏

For someone so smart, he was incredibly dumb to think he could be the last person to see her alive and get away with such an absurd story to explain why he came back and she didn't.

Love the true crime stories! Great job

[@annie_xo]

The Kim Wall case was so horrifying. I’m Swedish and I closely followed it from the start, it really shocked the entire country. I hope that psycho stays in prison for life. He murdered her purely because of some sick enjoyment.

[@linehedevang5028]

I really hope so too, but sadly it’s not 100% certain.. The justice system here is a joke

[@thesamenumb5437]

Yeahhhh boy! New episode. I haven't listened to ones about journalists. Let's do it!!!!!

[@vinc3gm]

I remember watching that 4th story on Narcos Mexico a few months ago. A case of wrong place, wrong time.

Who agrees he should find more glitch in the matrix stories to read to us cuz mm those matrix stories hit different especially at night.

[@skyegroome223]

The submarine story was truly disturbing. It must've been so terrifying for that poor woman to know that no one could hear her scream, and there was literally no way of escaping.

[@Redditaurus]

one that should've been included is the turkish guy reporting on the saudi govt's corruption who was assassinated by a terror group that was close to said govt. i believe year 2017

[@DRailedGaming]

On story 5, I find it ironic that a group who fights to exercise their supposed first amendment right, would want someone dead who's expressing theirs. He must have been making some real good points huh?

[@NocasCC18]

I can't believe you covered the whole Carlos Castro/Renato Seabra ordeal. It truly shook my country (Portugal). I remember it so clearly, it was awful.

[@britt4421]

I used to live in Roanoke, I completely forgot that live tv shooting had happened. So much goes on in that area :(

[@crystalpeerson8979]

Am I the only one that gets the creeps when they hear the birds at the end of the videos? I don't know why, but the sound just makes me shudder.

[@marcoamazo]

This reminds me of an incident involving a journalist that dealt with doing wartime stories. What I do remember is that I was doing a report on journalism when I was a kid and since my dad knew of the journalist and that he lived nearby, we visited him and I got what I needed for my project and mind you from what I was told, the guy was going through some trauma or something cause of the job but when I spoke with him and given I was a child at the time, to me he seemed just fine. But either a few days or weeks later, I guess the guy just snapped and after being chased by cops to a highway bridge that overlooks a hiking trail that's atleast half a mile or more below the bridge, he jumped and.....well yeah I think you can probably see where this is going, when I was told what happened some time after the incident, I was confused cause like I said, to me he seemed fine and mentally sound. Just goes to show that even people you think are fine might not be as fine as you think.

[@ILaFiesta97]

My Portuguese ass chilling, listening to this while I work, and being hit by the Carlos Castro story, and remembering all the news stories in Portugal when it happened. It was a huge deal here, especially due to the brutal nature of the murder, I remember how shocked evveryone was, especially due to how beloved Carlos Castro was to everyone who knew him and his career.

[@bru8138]

Renato and his lawyers really want him to go back to Portugal, cause the biggest life sentence here is 25 years

[@tablescissors]

Sixty-something man with shallow 21-year-old "model" lover is so often a predictable mess...but this was a doozy.
