Thanks!

[@UmbrellaCorp14703]

YEEEAHHHH ALMOST 3 HOURS OF STORY. *sits in pjs in the dark* BRING IT!

[@jensen13js19]

Cool

[@sippycupuu631]

Okay buddy

How old are you like 10?

[@Tbaby952]

Same my guy

[@julianmitchell5776]

Pjs. ? lol dude grow up

[@bluehorizons8913]

He could read a car manual and I’d happily listen.

[@kphoto83]

Lol, right!??

[@joannep3437]

And to top it off, he’s a ginger..

[@daronjohnson2763]

He could drive a manual car, and Id happily ride.

[@pulsarlaserquasar]

Haha same. He could read boring insurance documents and legal contracts/terms of conditions and I would listen to it the day it comes out 😂

[@witsendartstudio7135]

Shopping list would work too.

[@linguineimpasta]

I’m grateful for repeats. He probably does them in part so people will hear stories they missed while sleeping.

[@manicmoonlight]

Lol i always fall asleep to his soothing voice

[@KyeFish]

Uii

[@misstantrix]

Good point. Didn't think of that

[@skinni_the_P00hBear]

That's good, because I'm nearly always sleeping to his voice lol

[@antoniabaker7770]

Sleeping? What's that? Lol

[@MikeyVonSwank13]

Y’all complaining about repeats. Come on now, just sit back relax and enjoy the video. Lets Read is amazing. Give the guy a break. We will get something new soon enough.

[@majik5194]

Sit back and enjoy stories that we've all already heard? Do you actually find that enjoyable? You do realize that once you've heard a scary story it kind of loses every lick of suspense it had once you listen to it again (occasional exceptions) right? People have better things to do than relisten to the same exact stories. That's a huge waste of time. Stop kissing ass.

SHADYCOCK first of all lose the attitude. I’m basically saying all of you are ungrateful babies. Oh boo boo he posted a video of repeats. Get over it. I personally don’t get scared listening to these stories. There are stories I’ve heard that I really liked and want to hear again.

[@MikeyVonSwank13]

SHADYCOCK plus wasn’t he on vacation? Y’all expecting a brand new video right off the bat. Ungrateful little turds.

[@jamesrattray8725]

Ain't no one complaining..just showing our commitment if anything.people obviously enjoy him alot if they can notice that kind of stuff 😎

[@maybelater7101]

I can only listen to specific people tell scary stories as most voices annoy me. You are one of the 3 people I can listen to. Edit: ClancyPasta is also good Edit 2: Thanks for all the recommendations, will give them a listen

[@burningm0nk]

I’m curious, what are the other two channels you listen to? I’m very particular about voices too but I haven’t really found any channels besides this one that I’ve connected with.

[@relaxationnation9437]

[@jhahsbbandn]

except the fact he said 2 slurs in like 5 mins :| (f slur and r slur)

[@carknower]

He should read my college textbooks. It would help me out a lot

[@bobsmith5441]

Help you fall fast asleep more like I've never heard a full single story. No idea what's going zzzzzzzzzz

[@gr8kat1]

There are like at least 5 responses to danger: fight, flight, freeze, friend (the "I'll do whatever you want as long as you don't hurt me" line of thinking), and forget, which maybe explains the people who see something weird or frightening, but then say "I didn't think anything of it at the time," "I put it out of my mind and forgot about it," and other such cliche lines you hear in these stories.

[@klausd.6285]

I have never heard of fawn being called friend nor have I ever heard of "forget", how do you just forget you are in danger? That does not make any sense... As far as I know, there are only 4 responses to danger which are flight, fight, freeze, or fawn. I even tried looking up "forget" and got nothing. No, it's stupid writing of made up stories that people are making up and trying way too hard to make sound real but instead sounds like crappy fan fic writing. Some of them I can believe, but most of these I call BS on. People can forget after the fact as a way to cope with what happened, but I have never read or heard of people just forgetting while in danger. Coping is not responding to danger however. Edit: Also, just seeing something weird, creepy, or what one might think is threatening, does not mean you are in danger.

[@Cavernvision]

There’s also “fawn”, where you’ll flatter and pretend to be attractive to the person in hopes of winning them over so you can get away.

[@totallynotalpharius2283]

There’s a 6th “Get naked and start jerking off without breaking eye contact with them “

[@sarahbockstege8452]

You can have the “forget”moment when experience a terrible situation, that your brain doesn’t want you to remember what happened. I would know has happened to me before

[@seraphinecalhoun2458]

People commonly say they "forget" certain things in these stories when they're lying. Fawn or "friend" as you called it is very real, too!

[@samsmith9054]

Story about the man and his pregnant girlfriend melted my heart at the end. I hope she has a safe delivery !! (Depending on how old that story is)

[@Gothkxttn]

Most relaxing voice on KZbin 😍

[@mitzi369]

I’m a waitress and ever since this Corona outbreak I’ve been at home more then ever before since I started working. These stories get me through the day. Thanks for these awesome stories!!!

Conclusion: Never go to Walmart

[@thebloodyjester8438]

That should already be obvious.

[@breezyjeanz23]

Eh targets where it’s at anyways

[@boundlesslimitlessandfree7885]

Prices too good

[@DupeyDraws]

23:28

[@sscoool2402]

just passing by conclusions don’t go outside

[@Debble]

That is the problem with catcalling we can never tell if it’s a compliment or if it’s step one to a horror story

[@flobrez2470]

So many of the stories are about women who are being followed by men who catcall and can’t take no for an answer it’s really disturbing.

I am shocked about the one with the girl who worked in the hospital and was attacked. HR did nothing! She needed to go to the cops and report him for sexual assault. I can’t believe he didn’t lose his job. That is disgusting. I would’ve raised hell. She should get a lawyer and sue.

Yea, it's like when a TV show does a clip show. Its just a cheap and easy way to continue to make revenue when you don't have the time or money to make something new. In other words, sucks.
