Never announce to an abusive partner that you are leaving! Just leave when you can, and IF you can pack a small bag ready to go when it’s safe! Announcing you are leaving to somone abusive will only make them even more abusive!

I try other narrators and always come back to this channel. Reason: original stories where things actually happen.

[@tylertorch5914]

How do you know they're real?

Indeed I’ve noticed that a lot, maybe even most, of other horror narrators stories, despite titled “true stories”, highly involve supernatural aspects, while Lets Read’s stories usually doesn’t unless the video title specifies it. I wonder what’s the reason?

Literally in a motel trying to sleep and I get this notification Love u Joel 😄

Story 1. Uh, no. If a victim comes to my door in the middle of the night, we'd be heading straight to the police station instead of a motel.

[@beth5633]

Found that also silly! Why drive away?

[@devildude64]

YES!!!! I literally just stopped the video at that point so I could check the comment area to see if anyone ELSE thought that was goofy!! Makes NO sense!!

[@froggy5748]

Right?? I guess they just made that decision in a state of panic, not thinking clearly or anything. I’m really glad they jumped into action that quickly to get her out of the apartment building though, if that was a real situation where she was in danger then that would be lifesaving

[@Mr.horrific]

I've lived in several rathole motels. There are two types of people who live in places like that - they're either on their way back up, or circling the toilet bowl. Never, NEVER, become involved with the locals, in such a dysfunctional smurf village - as tempting as companionship can be, when you're in a bad place in your life.

[@Angelicdoll88]

i hope your doing better now

[@maevependragon]

Same. There's so much truth to this.

The story with the Flordia Water Bugs is actually pretty terrifying because if they are anything like the California toe biter their bite BURNS. I was bit by one when I was maybe four or five and I still remember the absolute pain in my big toe even after it let go. To imagine a swarm of them coming at me gives me chills.

Note on the water bugs from story 5; those little guys can actually be found in freshwater bodies all over the world. Some species get quite large and one is considered the largest in their order. Not "dangerous" but certainly painful. They tend to be attracted to electric lights at night, if you want to try and find some.
