After hearing the words 'daisy's destruction' I almost left. I know very little but know enough that I panicked just hearing it. I legitimately cried, I'm so scared that people that could do that, exist among us

[@ieshabrown5749]

So right. Years ago a friend told me of daisies destruction. It honestly wrecked me. I couldn't stop crying for weeks . I had nightmares and just had tortured thoughts consistently for a long time. And still get them periodically

[@helsci62]

I stopped listening at that point ….turned it off… too upsetting. And I agree , so depressing that people like that walk among us. People can be so disgustingly evil. Ended up having nightmares.

[@MsTygame]

@@ieshabrown5749so bad for you, imagine what it did to them.

[@SarahSmirnova]

Peter Scully is a demon existing in a veneer of human integument. I would say the type of punishment that would befit his vile criminal acts, but it would likely get me banned from youtube.

[@NaderVaderYT]

Definitely crazy

[@Fppk5197]

Haven’t finished this one yet but I love the little song that plays at the end of the last story. It’s like when you can’t sleep because there’s a loud thunderstorm going on outside but when you finally wake up in the mornin it’s all over, sun is shining, and you realize you’re safe and sound 😌

[@LivingDeadBabyDoll]

Me too! The juxtaposition is great 😊

[@tomsevcik1792]

I love the gradiating sound after each story too. Its like a page break almost

[@Cat_festation]

Same! It reminds me of an old musical tone played after PBS segments in the 70s.

[@juleslund1515]

[@TheWheel_sinn]

Not Deja vu. I also remember most of these stories, he's done them before. It's very possible he has forgotten tho.

[@TerriSchlessman]

Yes !!! I’ve noticed he’s starting to recycle some stories , it’s happened before , bummer .

[@2_of_the_lucky_1s75]

Yeah he usually does it once a month. It's a compilation. He's done it for quite a few years actually.

[@TaraDeane-qy9fc]

Just got in bed after a long crazy day and what gives me instant anxiety relief is a long story time by lets read. Thank you Joel for many nights of comfort with creepy content ❤

[@Rehsals]

As a mother of a 5 month old baby girl, I had to skip story 2 towards the end. That sh*t gives me a visceral reaction and rage like no one can understand.

[@GrantFontenot-gd6lc]

The second one did so for me. I completely understand, especially being a father of a 4 month old beautiful, little boy. I must confess I would have no mercy on such people, if I were to meet them in a dark alley.

[@Rehsals]

@@GrantFontenot-gd6lc amen. It’s nauseating

[@yungtragedy666]

Joel always comes through right when i need him!!! Thank you, Joel and Let's Read! 🖤🤘🏻

[@andrewbatts7678]

I've had ketamine before. The weird thing about ketamine is the first thing you notice when you wake up is the fact that your heart beat is rather quick but slows down as it fully wears off. This is why it is very popular at hospitals and psychiatric wards. People who are very drunk can be given it without the danger of cardiovascular depression

[@colspiracy8326]

Aaaaah Ketamin. Those were the days.

[@grass469]

It's very dangerous to mix alcohol and ketamine idk what your talking about.

[@pariscrane9171]

In pretty sure it causing the heart to work harder by beating faster is probably just as bad. God forbid the victim have some sort of cardiovascular disease or something like Wolff Parkinson White syndrome. Something that causes tachycardia like you say ketamine does could kill the person with wpw. Seems really dangerous actually

[@melissamoonchild9216]

tell that to Mathew Perry

[@iheartshaneandjeffree]

Cooking dinner, wearing my let’s read fear department shirt. I ordered a men’s medium and it fits so perfect thank you so much ! It’s so comfortable

[@chopsandtoots]

Story 9: don't be an a**hole to random people. One, because you never know the mental state of other people and two, why be rude to people when there's literally no reason to. I don't have a lot of sympathy.

[@swamphawk6227]

Yeah. That person sounded like a smug piece of crap.

[@scottyp2505]

So someone shows up to your house in a royal blue suite singing and dancing about haunted items and then stalks your house for 24 house is mean? Than I’m an asshole, those people were mentally unstable and they can get off the property.

[@chopsandtoots]

@@scottyp2505 they weren't doing anything wrong initially apart from being weird and OP and their partner were unnecessarily rude to these random people for no reason. And my second point, it's never a good idea to antagonize random people you don't know, because you have no idea if/what their reaction will be. It's why I avoid roadrage because some people are absolutely insane.

[@TAMMY-mq3tg]

Perfect! Just laid down to relax, checked my notifications and there a new upload from Let's Read. It's a good night.

[@lynnajames8906]

Joel Just posted a new video and im here for it! 2 weeks off work for vacay and im laying in bed listening because I can!! Yay ❤

[@valerie2827]

Isn't what we're all here for?

[@MisfitHorror]

I took your advice and switched up my content style while still remaining in the horror genre, thank you for being humble 🙏

[@josiegipson90]

Glad to see the trolls haven't commented tonight (so far). Honestly, I don't understand their criticism. Trolls don't need a reason tho. Your channel is extremely underrated. I'm not sure why these people haven't hopped over and subscribed.

[@ieshabrown5749]

Looks like the first video with the switched up content did well......

[@materialmirage]

Oh, I think I get it...

[@Dementia.Pugilistica]

Is this all bots responding to each other?

[@josiegipson90]

@@Dementia.Pugilistica Nope, not bots. I use clipart as my profile picture because I had to remove my face when I was being stalked. Misfit has his own horror channel. He asks Joel for advice during Live streams. There's a few who troll Misfit here in the comment section. They don't like him asking for advice or Joel giving advice. That pretty summarizes it. Bots usually have a half naked picture of some area of the female body as a profile pic. Big ol booty pic wearing a white thong bikini, semi bikini covered vagina, and big ol boobs with various faces...all close-ups. Those are all bots. They'll usually ask some type of semi intelligent question but it doesn't fit the content. I recently read one that asked how the narrator pics out color schemes for videos...when the narrator uses a black screen. You'll also see a whole thread of people talking to each other about some kind of money scam. Those are bots,

[@mu5ty_mu5t3lid]

The woman from story 9 was just incredibly rude. R/thathappened >:(

[@scottyp2505]

And stalking her house was criminal

Hello from Alaska!

[@themoondrinksmerlot4260]

Peter Scully is one of THE MOST evil fkrs to breathe oxygen. The Daisy’s Destruction story has haunted me for YEARS. 😢 You can barely find anything about it today, but I unfortunately watched a vid on YT several years ago (before the extreme censorship) that described the video in detail. (It was a YT’er who was covering dark web scandals, not sharing the video.) I can’t imagine the trauma of those who had to actually watch it during trial.

[@aelin_ashryver]

please tell me the child survived 😢

[@quandyqishere]

So we can fall asleep again

Not trying to trash talk other story telling channels on YT but in my opinion you guys are far superior to even the most well known channels. Everything about Let's read rocks. You guys are the best

Story 13 dude honestly just seems like such a kind person

[@brandonbrown7826]

Loved the video! Pet peeve I have to mention though, the word “dingy” in the Chloe story is pronounced “din-G” meaning dirty, and “ding-E” meaning “small boat” lol. I just mention it because EVERY narrator says it wrong and it’s like nails on a chalkboard to me 😝

[@-Nibbles-]

Thank you, I thought it had been pronounced wrong

[@MisatoBestWoman]

There aren’t many things I believe in wholeheartedly but with such evils as Peter Scully I truly believe with every ounce of my heart that hell exists. These compilations are a favourite to listen to especially when playing Minecraft

[@Turbo1602ti]

One of the worst parts of Chloe's case is the victim blaming afterwards

[@SonyaOsterman]

Good night from the valley!! Sweet disturbing stories!!! Peace sleep.💤🪬✌️✴️🥱🔮

[@ms.krueger2660]

I have a friend. When she was around 50 she looked great for her age. She actually looked like she was in her late 30s. She worked in a store. She had a man and woman come up to her and ask her for a threesome. She was In shock. She was a grandma!! The same couple came back several times. She finally had to call security on them and they were banned from the store. Was so weird. She also had a manager talking her up. She had to show him her license to prove her age. He was embarrassed and left her alone. She is now 60 and still beautiful for her age. Her second husband is 10 years younger. You would never know it. I am shocked that people would go up to a total stranger and ask such things.

Thank you, Joel for another great polished story download to your channel.
