THEY USED CRAIGSLIST TO ROB ME | 10 True Scary Stories from Reddit

[@LetsReadPodcast]

The first story had an animation from Axeman Cartoons - that's why there's sound effects. Future animations will be minimal to no sound effects. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXuolX17e5VpjaM

[@theantichrist5191]

i though it fit just fine

[@monymiller4005]

That's great. Thanks!

[@CourtneyLigman]

I agree sorry I commented before listening futher.

[@CourtneyLigman]

Avid long time bedtime listener.

[@cking6665]

I pressed play, hopped in the shower and was so confused 😂

[@Sagittarius6823]

Not sure if I am a fan of the animation format, I usually listen to the stories when I’m going to sleep… What I do know is that I’m a big fan of your channel ❤

[@ethansaavedra4995]

Oh no Joel I love you to death but this background audio is really distracting especially coupled with the long pauses😭

[@ninja1man4u]

Tooo Loud

[@kiranpandith]

Watch it again, this time look at the screen, only the first story!

[@ericclark2495]

Hate the noises! Never again please!

[@welsh.truth.dragon3914]

Its ridiculous

[@lotzosushi]

Lmao, I always listen to your videos in the background with the screen turned off and this time I didn’t know there were animations included, I was so confused at the long pauses and random sounds in the first video until I turned my screen back on 😂😂😂

[@EkramAhmed-w4q]

Same and I was going to sleep 😂😂😂

[@royalacity]

😂😂

[@GavarPlays]

Same🤣🤣🤣

[@BMXAuthority]

Same

[@cameron_a9116]

I was trying to go to sleep and it was freaking me out

[@martispartis05]

that nelly story was INSANE

[@AStrawberryHedgehog]

Yeah it made me absolutely sick to my stomach. I hate that there weren’t any actual repercussions for that person and that she just kept going on to hurt more people. She needs to be kept away from the public before she escalates further. Someone could be killed.

[@JW-hk4zi]

Have to stop listening if the sound effects continue. Too loud and continous to focus on the story. They don't add anything useful.

[@erikaLS305]

That first story is an OLD one. It's one of those camp fire legends. I love the new graphics and especially the animation on that first one, man! Great job, keep it up!

[@RayneSaltair]

I'm not sure these are real, but the one with the stalker, at the college, I always tell college kids, not to bother with school authorities. Their entire job is to protect the school not you. Always document and take those documents to actual police.

[@nataliep501]

YES

[@lotzosushi]

Yeah, the fact that the school wanted her to sign an NDA on top of that is disgusting.

[@hphan7549]

True! Sons of a all the same! Many sons of a also stalkers themselves, after office shifts 🥴🙏🙏🙏

[@jobturkey7418]

True story: when I was younger and dumb I sold somthing on Craigslist. But the smartest thing I did was ask for the buyers description without giving mine. I walk in pretending to buy food without the product first and I see 4 grown dudes positioned around this shady looking guy. All looking around nervously. Yeah I bought my chicken wrap and noped it out of there pretty fast. Listen to your instincts. This was about 20 years ago

[@JohnEBoy66]

I did that with dates

[@sophiewang8647]

In the third story, those girls sounded like they were taking advantage of Sherwood and knowing he was a bit awkward/odd/mentally challenged. And yet, one of them decided to take a hike in an isolated area with him. She does not know him very well. I think many lessons can be learned from this story. -_- smh

[@alifmuhammadchicago]

I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking this. I try never to victim-blame, but this felt really off from the beginning.

[@melissamoonchild9216]

yeah definitely a little exploitative

[@akmloves]

And why didn't they call the cops to report the body?

[@MandyTekut]

They did.

[@ms.krueger2660]

They did not call the cops !? What about the body??

[@MamaSpudzTV]

Not a fan of what was going on in the background in the first story! Just giving feedback, no hate. Still love your narration ❤

[@My1Beautifullie]

Why didn't the girl call the police about the body right away.

[@Username-f5p]

I listen for the voice. Don’t care about the video but glad you’re trying something new! Good luck ❤

[@the_familyjules]

I look forward to these every Monday and Thursday. It’s my routine. Thank you Let’s Read

[@yahainHotPink]

Story 1. Whoa, the visuals for it started so smoothly with the rain sounds and all. Felt so bad for the guy in the story. So scary!!! Hope he is safe henceforth.

THANK YOU 🖤🖤🖤🖤

[@Pieripera]

Omg this Nelly girl should be in a mental asylum! I dunno how the girls endured so much

[@jessicasnowden4779]

right?with all of the solid evidence she had , something should have been done

[@jeu3942]

The one with the woman who got shot with the shotgun. The reason they left the bbs in is because it would cause way more damage to take them out than leave them in. The same reason I still have so much shrapnel in my legs and hands. The risk of damage is greater than the rewards for taking it out.

[@melissamoonchild9216]

I'm sorry you have to live with that

[@CBrown86]

Sherwood story is BS. “Durr he showedd me a ded body and we dident call the police” why tf do people try to pass these things off as actual experience. It would be more entertaining as a story.

[@melissamoonchild9216]

it says in the story she did call the police

[@michelebell1997]

I don’t think I have ever been disappointed with one of your videos, much love from Colorado

First story might make U think your on hallucinogens, especially with the animation lol

I've listened to you for years but that sound on the first story was horrible.

[@Nellynelzzzz]

I love the animation for just 1 story. It's cool that you're trying something different, Joel.

[@naraynahqarshy3608]

I really love your work Let’s Read! Always! But these sounds from story 1 were so annoying for me, I couldn’t concentrate on what you’re saying

Thank you very much.

[@AStrawberryHedgehog]

Man I really wish the person with the stalking case had elevated things to the police, especially considering how much evidence they had against the person. I know the police suck ass a lot, but the fact that the school refused to do anything and then the person just kept going on to hurting others? It makes me sick to my core. No one should have had to suffer through any of that. That stalker should be locked up and kept away from the public. Or be in an institute or something - they are clearly not well.

[@SleepyFearsYT]

Good Video!
