I MISS PARANORMAL VIDEOS FROM YOU! No more teenagers getting scared of their own farts! 😂 Thank you for this video!

[@jayl5032]

Finally dude. Its been so fuckin' long since you have read some supernatural/paranormal stories and not just "girl stalked by a weird man, oh no." story.

@@jayl5032THANK YOU I’m so tired of women victim stories. They just make me sad

[@broderickblack]

Yeah it's about time we get some men in these stories, and besides it is easier to relate to men

[@jasonlock884]

The story of the “skinwalker” man and the little living stones were honestly very sweet stories. If you can find any more follow up stories about mister “skinwalker” or the stones, please tell them the way only you can. Thank you.

[@rochellerutherford1615]

I immediately tried to google the stones for more stories but I'm not finding anything. I really enjoyed that story

[@TheSupart91]

I mean its self defense

[@erikaromero1123]

The story of the ghost man that followed the guy around his hometown seemed sweet to me. Terrifying at first but after an unspoken agreement the friendship is sweet. I feel like the ghost man was on the verge of being forgotten forever and he found a person that acknowledge him, invited him in, and made sure he wasn't forgotten. So sweet. 💐

[@kaileealtman9630]

The person probably has schizophrenia and the ghost man is a hallucination.

[@melissamoonchild9216]

I thought that was a wonderful and surprisingly touching story

[@HexIsme]

The date on the headstone was 1846-1847 ( 44:44 ) ... that's only one year. It could've been too young to know how to talk before it died, and just manifested that way over time. Maybe that's why it couldn't communicate with the author, and had such a weird, almost cartoony appearance. Maybe it just wanted to know that someone could really accept it before it could move on. It is a very sweet story, though.

[@erikaromero1123]

​@@HexIsmewhatever it's damn age.. Still touching.

[@katelynthewhitewerewolf6376]

​@@melissamoonchild9216 I agree

[@ellastoddard9765]

Maybe a strange request but I actually loved hearing the stories like the teen and the “skinwalker” or the man with the little stone spirits. Could you make a video based on friendly spirits? Thank you so much Joel your videos mean the world to me.❤

[@NenUserD8xedYou]

Yeah same

[@madisonmccann1221]

Agreed!

I really loved the story about the little stones. It make me feel really good 😊 ♥️

[@kathyembrey4604]

When I was a kid I went to visit my Aunt Linda. She owned several acres with a river running through it. Her property was BEAUTIFUL!! With lots of flowers, green grass, and all the trees were very large and healthy. Her place was like a whole different world. Every time we ate she'd make a plate and set it outside on her back porch. While my cousin and I were outside playing, he'd tell me to not touch that rock, step around that one, and such. I never saw one move, but my cousin respected them and would even talk to them. I just thought he he had a good imagination. Before we left that Summer mom asked my Aunt Linda why she left a plate of food out on the porch. Aunt Linda said she was feeding the little Gnomes that lived on the property and took care of everything. To this day I never really understood it. Now, thanks to this story, I kind of do.

[@ujika8164]

Omg, yes. The rocks story was really intriguing and, in a way, wholesome. I bet the rocks or the forest protector spirit killed the homeless man and stuffed him in a tree.😰

[@melissamoonchild9216]

A HUGE THANK YOU to you, @LetsReadPodcast for the collaboration and narration for The Dark Echoes episode, Building Eight! It's been two years in the making to finally get this episode out there and I couldn't be more proud as to how the episode came out! Had an amazing time directing and editing the episode. Had an amazing cast and crew for those couple days we were on set. Had an amazing narrator, whose voice is unmatched in the horror scene of podcasts and content on KZbin. And a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who watched and enjoyed BUILDING EIGHT! Stay tuned for more Dark Echoes in the upcoming weeks!
