That Hank Hill Impersonation at the end though 😂😂😂 Was waiting for an "I tell you what."

Story 3: 22:22 "She suggested calling the police but I was just ready to drop it" 22:25 "I searched for years pretty actively online for an arrest in the area to see if he would ever come up but he never did. After a few years I moved on mentally and got over it for the most part" Guess he got away because you never thought it was important enough to report immediately but thought to look for an arrest later at the expense of some poor other victim of his...

Cherry: “that could’ve been me” Something tells me you wouldn’t of made it out of the situation as unscathed-

I gotta say man this is quickly becoming my Favourite channel on RU-vid and my favourite Podcast by far!! It helps me tremendously at night when my depression and anxiety seems to want to come out n cause me not to b able to sleep...but this keeps my mind occupied and interested and I’m able to eventually dose off...so seriously and sincerely Thank You my friend..I hope u get a chance to read this. Cuz u really r helping me. And it means a lot. Keep up the great work 👍

As a foot appreciator myself (I'm not ashamed), that weirdo's comment in Story 4 *legitimately* gave me chills, even more so when he mentioned chopping the OP up. I tell ya, that had me like, "Okay, whoa there, buddy!" 😲 I'm sorry she had to go through that.

Saying that one story is two churchgoers walking a guy home is a gross oversimplification of events. They refused to leave him alone when he told them to, followed him to his home, and when they were there they tried to enter without his permission. That's not okay in any context and people are phrasing it like the storyteller is ungrateful when he was terrified and had a right to be.

Thanks Hank! 😂 I hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving and get a chance to be with your friends and loved ones! Love from Texas ♥️🤠🌴

I've been listening to let's read for 3 years. May another great year of listening to scary bedtime stories continue!

Going to people’s homes to deliver groceries etc reminds me of all the different families and homes I went to as a hospice nurse. So many different ways of living, cultures, from really poor to very wealthy. But everyone dies at the end. What is the old saying? Death is the great equalizer. It really truly is!

Happy Thanksgiving Joel!

Just when I was thinking I needed some scary stories. Excellent timing, Let's Read.

I can go on and on about how LR's videos can easily put me to sleep instantly.

Happy Thanksgiving Joel, and everyone who reads this! Thanks for another amazing set of stories!!! 🙂🦃💙

Dang..that story about Miami that would be scary af!! Thank God that girl got away and, I know she was young but I CANNOT STAND hearing about stories like that where the victim doesn't report it. It is the most disgusting, self-centered thing to do especially when you aren't really putting yrself in any danger to do so. I mean, don't you think ANOTHER GIRL would really appreciate NOT running into that terrifying creep the next weekend!?? SMH. Anyways, I hear it all the time... PLEASE ppl, report crimes or attempted attacks. It could save someone's life.

You're literally the best sleep medication 💊, always relaxing and puts me to sleep. I'm in Australia so I get your posts daytime here so I have myself a little nanna nap. Keep up the great work :-)

A little bit of Joel never hurt anybody’s holidays! 🤟

Could we just take this time and say that let's read just make everybody day a lot better!

Happy Thanksgiving. 🦃 That Hank Hill impression was spot on 🤌

If I hadn’t caught the end of the live, I would have been so damn confused by that closing.

Happy Thanksgiving Joel to you and your family thank you for making me and my families time a little bit better a day at a time we love you!💯

Was that a hank hill at the end impression?😂👌

Happy Thanksgiving Joel!!! Thanks for such a wonderful voice an time u put into these just to help us relax and or sleep

Just in time! I'm on a family vacation, this is perfect! I love you buddy!☺️

bless this channel for the content it uploads.

I would never listen to you before going to bed as I do not wish to have nightmares. But I still enjoy listening to you read because I like your voice and I like true stories.

Always love hearing your voice...thank you Let's Read ❤️

Damn, I'm only 20 minutes into the stories..Listening to ya actually is releasing the tension in my shoulders....It was an exhausting day...Thanks

That app sounds good!!.....and the 1st story legit sounds like the set-up to a gag lol! A Canadian, a polish girl, a New Jersey and New Yorker flat sharing in Essex!!!!😆 maaaan where is this story gonna go!!! Edited to add: The story is horrifying! No laughing matter obvs!

"Omg that could have been me" so pathetic lol

I love that the last guy listened to his instincts and did not allow himself to be manipulated by creepy lady.

Happy thanksgiving. I’ve always watched your content and my mother also used to watch you all the time before she passed in July. Thank you for giving her moments of calm and comfort with your videos.

I love the Hank Hill impression at the end lmao🤣

Story #4 - 16:33 The story about the 2 sisters where the older sister set up a 5 day vacation to Miami to celebrate the younger sister’s college graduation. 1) A young female who finds herself ALONE with a large muscular guy who is physically stopping her from getting away from him while saying and doing nasty and downright scary things to her would be terrifying. 2) If the same female was in a LARGE crowd with the same guy doing and saying the exact same things to her could be just as dangerous and horrifying due to people either thinking someone else in the crowd will help her OR that it’s none of their business. I think it’s called the "Bystander Effect". I wholeheartedly believe that most upstanding citizens without a criminal history or mental health issues, females and males alike should LEGALLY buy a handgun to conceal carry on themselves when going into situations that could possibly lead to them being jumped, mugged, beat up or even killed. I believe even more females should conceal carry, and most of the time, due to males being SO MUCH STRONGER than females while facing additional risks like SA, kidnapping and trafficking among many other appalling things. When I went through my divorce I immediately started looking at pistols. After about 6-8 weeks of learning everything I could about what type of handgun would be the right fit for me, I purchased my 1st handgun (9 mm Smith & Wesson, Performance Center M&P Shield) and immediately took the classes I needed to get my LTC (License To Carry) which is the Texas version of what many states call a Concealed Carry Permit. I passed the written portion of the test with a 100% and I got a 246 out of 250 possible points on the shooting portion… I’m a dang good shot 😉 ANYWAY, I did grow up around guns and used to go target shooting with my Mom and Dad and other relatives and family friends all the way through my late teens. I know there are many people who are not comfortable around guns which I believe MOSTLY consists of people who have never really been around guns and/or have never been taught anything about them. Everyone should understand the basics like gun safety and the differences between a revolver & a semi-automatic pistol, the kickback of say a 9 mm VS a 45 caliber and how there’s certain ways you DO and DO NOT want to flex your wrist when shooting different guns and much more. Anyone who owns a handgun (or many…) or has spent some time shooting guns at a gun range, in someone’s backyard or out in a forest, etc.. knows there’s MUCH MORE to handling different handguns. The people who have never shot a gun, held one or may have possibly never even seen one with their own eyes are the most dangerous people when it comes to guns imo! There’s a few things EVERY person who is familiar with handguns do FIRST without even thinking about it - 1) looking to see if there is a bullet in the chamber by pulling back the slide on a pistol 2) seeing if the gun has a safety and if it is on or not 3) dropping down the magazine to see how many bullets are in it (adding one if there’s one already in the chamber) and MOST IMPORTANTLY - 4) NEVER put your finger on or near the trigger unless you are willing to shoot anything the gun is aimed at! ALWAYS hold a gun (even if you are TOLD there’s no bullet in the chamber) with the barrel POINTING DOWN towards the ground at all times as if there is a chambered bullet! I pray that everyone in our butter sock cult has been enjoying this Holiday Season 2023 and I wish y’all a very Merry Christmas and/ or a Happy Hanukkah! ✝️🎄🕎🎁☃️ Love from Texas ♥️🤠🌴

When I listen to these kind of stories there is only one place I go and that's let's read you're the best man

Just from the title, I know this is something I’ve experienced before…not the exact situation, but the survival strategy.

I listen to newer content awake but I love to put on a play list and sleep to Joel's voice. Sorry not sorry. I found this channel a couple of years ago and it has helped my untreated insomnia so much. Thanks for the stories. I hope they continue to fulfill you so you will continue to make content for us.

Hank Hill at the end. Also I find it funny the give away ps5 bundle is on my b day. That would be amazing if I won it, but I hope whoever wins it has a fun. Happy Thanksgiving everyone. And stay safe out there.

I love reading the comments of how much Joel’s videos truly help people in hard times of their lives. These stories always help me de-stress and recharge 😊

35:30 - 39:13 ....I worked as a Shipt shopper all last year into this year (work slowed down a lot mid-summer so it wasn't a decent income source for me anymore) and I only ever worked 8am - 5pm having a set self-proclaimed quota of orders to do before going home to collapse into bed (I did all my deliveries via walking or public transport). The one thing I always prided myself on above all else was being careful. Since it's a pandemic, of course it was rare anyone opened their doors to take their orders from my hands. But I was always sure to not be close when they came to open the door. Never wanted to put myself in a potentially dangerous situation as you never know who's on the other side of a door

Hahaahaaaa, that is a great way to get out of giving a big tip for groceries 🤣🤣🤣 Nice Hank btw

Okay Hank🤣 never regret watching til the end! Happy turkey day, and of course thank you for all the wonderful videos you provide us!

Excellent stories -- everyone who wrote those tales acted very smartly for their circumstances, and that's why we got to hear them.
