man, this channel has been so good for so long, but it feels to me that this video marks a level up. The stories have transcended 'scary', they are moving, tragic, compelling, and of course, chilling. peppered with social commentary, and captivating true crime, delivered with respect and efficacy. the production value is top notch. I am impressed and grateful for this truly quality content.

[@mtamech535]

I've said it before, Joel is an artist. I make videos myself on a separate channel and I can see what he puts into the audio part of it, and it is absolutely brilliant. The gaps between stories, the audio sequences, even the way he has distorted his voice, it all paints an audio masterpiece. Of course, this isn't the style for every video, but these 'sleep' type videos are where he shines like no one else on youtube. And I mean _no one else._

[@zaralewis9674]

I couldn't put it any better myself. I love this chance and have been following it for 2 year's now. Absolutely fantastic channel and Joel has a very nice voice too. Easy to listen to. I am always looking forward to the next video. Keep it coming and thank you for all the hard work you put into you video's.

[@mtamech535]

@@zaralewis9674 Funny enough, I was a sub to him back in '16 but he did this sort of 'whisper because my kids sleeping in the next room' talk that made it difficult to follow. It was unnatural and painful to listen to. About 2 years ago I was interested in seeing how he was doing and was blown away by the quality. Hey, we've all got to start from somewhere. He just mastered it.

[@zaralewis9674]

@@mtamech535 yes definitely. We just need to see what works and go from there. I am glad he has got it where it is today. Thank you for the reply. X

there is another vid where he reads a line twice, kinda funny

As a mother, that second story has me ugly crying in morning traffic. Those poor babies 😢

Me too. How heart breaking.

[@sophiathesoap5968]

One of my old high school teacher’s father rushed to the school to help and pray (he was a vicar). To this day it’s still an unforgettable day here in the valleys

Same! I was sitting here at work doing my best to hide my tears to avoid alarming someone, but just freaking cried.

[@winnieleung272]

Everyone says they go to bed listening to Joel's stories, so how come I'm more awake and terrified after listening to them😅 ? Good job Joel, you have a great voice❤

Until the second narrator takes over and ruins the integrity and perfection of the video/readings :(

Every time you upload a video, it's 1am here where I live. So most of the time it's right when I go to sleep which is just amazing timing 😍 Much love and greetings from Germany!

[@lynnajames8906]

So Thankful for Joel! Thank you for all you do. We love you!

[@dassilbelloul]

One million subscribers soon my brother Absolutely well deserved 👏

[@AllHaiLKINGTIsHeRe3]

The most rational explanation I can think of for story 1 is that the guy's grandfather blacked out and killed the guy after going into fight or flight. He might have also gone into a rage after the assault occurred. He has no memory due to PTSD.

[@larissacroan7150]

I wonder if he fell down a shaft or something. Or, like you say, the grandfather is chill af and killed him and was never suspected. Mind you, where would you stash the body? Arthur was a big guy!

[@seancarter6492]

Not to mention he had absolutely no struggle signs. Which given their size difference is basically impossible. I love the idea though.

[@PastelScoops]

Seeing as how the grandfather didn't have any of the guys blood on him or any defensive wounds after going back up, I'm going to say there is no rational explanation.

[@Musa_hi]

Nah cuz I believe the demons in the mines had had enuf of him n took him out ong

[@richardsandoval8157]

It’s a horrible thing .🥹

[@Jath2112]

I've...been through scores of your videos now... and I can actually kinda tell the general year of release...sometimes by the intro sounds... but... I can tell by your voice. You've gotten so polished over time. Your 5+ year old videos are still enjoyable... but you have a command and presence in the recent years that is hard to miss. Thanks for your endless reading.

[@michelebell1997]

Absolutely by far the best narrator!!! Much love from Colorado!!!!

[@gloriachilds4598]

The story of the sludge that killed the children and the villagers actually made me cry, it's just not right. It brought to mind school shootings. Totally preventable deaths/slaughter of our youth. I must say Joel even the tenderness of your voice could not stop the hard truth of that story.😢

[@magesalmanac6424]

That story was so horrific.

[@thevoyer2002]

Gloria....preventable? How do we stop mentally ill people from acquiring tools and killing ?

[@seancarter6492]

I'm a sorta cold person and that made me even shake my head 😠 Greed, the worst sin to me.

[@TheOceanLoader]

9:00 The Knockers are basically a race of dwarves. I've seen them on the surface near abandoned mines. Around 3AM (of course!) and I was sat with 2 other people. We were getting drunk but all saw these figures that could not be seen looking directly at, but could from the corner of my eye.

[@sheilasurratt]

Perfect thanks my guy!!! ML&R TNJR

[@AllHaiLKINGTIsHeRe3]

I still remember the story at 1:52:31 from when it came out. I'd love some more background on that story and what exactly the PI is trying to imply. Sometimes few details make things creepier.

[@tiffanyhinojosa8490]

Where did you hear about this story?

[@fluffycaramel3159]

@@tiffanyhinojosa8490 i wanna know too

[@thedoctorroth]

Same. I came to comments to ask if anyone has any details or could point me to more coverage of this story. I did a few Google searches of names and came up with nothing. This is extremely compelling and if it's not a true story it's masterfully written. I fell asleep to YT and woke up to this on, my first time on this channel. I assume Let's Read! reads things that are submitted by viewers or does he search the internet for these or both? Any answers or incite is appreciated because this is gonna drive me a bit crazy

[@GothicUndone]

1:14:18 They should’ve looked into Tonia a lot earlier considering she was not remotely bothered by a scared traumatised 6yr old on her porch who has stated her grandma has been murdered. The fact that they were so quick to arrest Clarence with so little evidence but didn’t look into the neighbour who had previous for murder and child r@pe, including his own children. Lazy police work. Earl Mann & Tonia are giant POS. I still feel so bad for Brooke, Judy and Clarence.

[@robynsmith4164]

My thought exactly! Who on earth would leave a beaten bloody little 6 yr old girl who also said her Grandma was MURDERED, out on the porch in the COLD, for 45 minutes IF they had NOTHING to hide?!?!?! That’s just about as sloppy as police work can get!

[@incrediblylucid4914]
