..Joel? You’re my absolute favourite KZbinr and yesterday i had the best and worst feeling I’ve had in a long time all within 10 mins. You gave me a heart but i edited the comment because i noticed a typo and your heart disappeared 🥲 I originally wanted to leave it and definitely not write you because of that, but i literally can’t think of anything else like how am i able to be so stupid and make such an exciting moment into a sad and irritating one? If you... maybe would like to give me your heart back i would appreciate it so very much. But if not it’s also no problem, i mean i made a bunch of screenshots so i still have the memory of that moment :) i just will not have peace if i don’t ask. Please keep up the great work and thank you very much for always helping me out in different ways with your narrations 💚

[@matthewb5364]

Must say, this has been one of the most varied and interesting videos to date! Every story was so different. Crawlspaces really deserve more screentime.

[@matthewb5364]

Wow!! Thanks so much for the heart!

[@es9758]

It's very scary to realize someone was actually living in your crawlspace, I have heard of it before on Crime Of the Century on ID (investigation discovery), the case on that show was about a guy living in the attic for years and the chick that lived there didn't know it, until she started noticing things moved and food being missing or eaten when it was in the fridge she would go back later and it wasn't there,, this case happened many years ago, it's terrifying honestly.

@@ninja1man4u Although it doesnt condone his actions it sounds like the man who is Grandfather was and the Man he became were two vastly different people (I hope). There were people who used to be Nazi’s that went on to do good things and become good people. Would still be a shock to find out though.

I feel for OP in story 3, I mean it's not their fault, it really isn't. Some people are monsters hiding in in plain sight and as awful as what their grandfather did I hope that they don't assume too much guilt for the disgusting legacy he left behind. Hopefully that journal makes it way to a historian or museum where it can do at least a little bit of good, just like OP is now trying to put more good into the world after finding out the truth.

[@CocoWantsACracker]

Yeah, I think we should all judge people on their own merit. There is a reason no family members are on trial for a crime committed by their next of kin: they are completely innocent - offspring even more so than ancestors. OP or their family or not on trial for acts committed by one person only. Anyone treating them with disdain needs to take a good hard look at themselves.

[@Aluhcav]

For the guy in the third story. I do hope he makes a book of that diary, yes after his mother passes as I'd hate to do the same thing to someone in my family. But I think people need to know what happened behind closed doors so speak. And just maybe, it'll help others that might come across something just like that.

29:00 the Quebecois whose grandfather fought for Germany - a lot don't know this but many french Canadians were not supportive of WWII. Their heritage was when France was a monarchy and religion was prominent in their lives. When Britain obtained Canada the french were isolated. Eventually the French Revolution happened in France and its culture changed a lot from the old France and their religion had been persecuted somewhat. So, when Germany invaded France they thought it a just punishment for becoming secular - both WWI and WWIi. Many french Canadians felt no obligation to Europe, the British Commonwealth, or English Canada and detested obligatory service. My heritage was French Canadian 2 generations ago and I didn't know of any that would join Germany certainly but do know many were neutral feelings about the war. Just like the author of the story said - if it didn't involve Quebecois he didn't much care of history - same sentiment of many French Canadians.

[@Kathakomben]

@@kathyhanes9842 Oh i didn’t knew Lamont before, he has cool stuff :) But Joel is literally on top for me, i remember in the summer of 2018 i started to work for a good friend that rented apartments to earn a bit of extra money. She has a big garden and courtyard so i took on the role as the janitor and gardener. It was so boring when she wouldn’t stick around but that’s also when i discovered him and started to hear his narrations while i worked, and now 3 years later i still keep that custom up. Every time i see a video of his pop up, it looks and feels like a treat to me. I listen to other narrators too, but not so frequently like Let’s Read.

[@kurisuchiinu1206]

Story 5 I don't get what's wrong with the parents. It took them a while to check (in which the counselor has to be the one to tell them to do it) what's on the crawlspace and thought it was just an imaginary friend their child came up with. It frustrates me to think what if one day the child was gone because of their ignorance?

[@ginabell694]

The hospital scene, correct? Saw the movie as a youngster and was horrified. Couldnt sleep for weeks. Id give anything to experience something like that again. Although that movie's so etched into my brain that rewatching it might just suffice

@@shekriptic2851 oh its good alright

[@Sandstimes]

Ok for story 5 idk who was telling these parents that bringing their kid to see a therapist or psychologist was "not parenting their kid" but they need to never have children lol. Neglecting a child's mental health is especially bad because they don't have the knowledge or autonomy to seek help themselves

[@Iuxinterior]

true paying a few hundred bucks to make sure your kids ok is so much better than leaving them to get over it

Story 3. I remind myself on a daily basis that anyone's capable of anything even if I don't like that reminder. It's less of a blow to my heart I guess. That's a heavy burden to carry with you. Can't say I wouldn't do the same though. Different perspective on everything.

To add to that I remind my children of two things, The only monsters in life are humans and if someone could do something to someone else under the right circumstances they could do it to you as well.

I have an attic in my house with no ladder or stairs up into it. There is a hatch in the ceiling of the upper landing. That thing made me nervous so I installed an alarm and a lock on it. Now you have to smash it open if you are trying to open it from the attic side.

as a jewish person the 3rd story made me nauseous, it’s terrifying thinking there are people walking around that did that to people.

[@RoseBud76]

It is terrifying that even happened. I have read a lot about different aspects of WWII. For that to happen while the whole world watched. It took the United States to jump in we had to get bombed. For people to be proud they did such atrocious things. It makes me physically ill. I used to be a Nurse starting in 1994. I remember some of the elders I worked with. They had numbers tattooed on their thumbs. I know I had learned in school. To meet those folks. To hear their stories. I was in awe of all of them. My grandfather fought in WWII. I am proud to say for the right side.

Legitimate question to anyone who knows: are home inspections not required when purchasing one in the UK?

[@lorettaburns1321]

I believe if a financial institution is involved they usually insist on a home inspection, so if you default on payment they aren't stuck with a problem house.. but I don't think it's mandatory..

It depends on the nature of the sale; in some circumstances, the inspection of the property falls under the due diligence of the buyer.
