New intro goes hard
yes ❤❤
Yessss ❤
How so? Did I miss something?
Yes
I can't sleep without him!!
Who thinks Joel is the best narrator on earth?
Definitely. He’s the most consistent as well!
Hes even better than mr. Nightmare in my opinion
Me me me ✋🏼✋🏼✋🏼
No contest!!!
Hes up there definitely, for long term consistency. He's been doing this a long time and the long form content is always better then the short form Mr nightmare does. But dark somnium has been at this for 7 years and does all the music and sound design for all his narrations, and works with many top other narrators to put together videos that aren't just narrations but audio masterpieces of emotion, eerieness and scene setting that I haven't ever seen on CZcams.
Last story the writer was the true horror lmao absolute Karen the poor resort staff. Love your stories man! Gets me through the work day
God forbid someone speaks up for themselves without some nerd calling them a “Karen”
brother did you even listen? she literally submitted a "horror" story purely about her disappointment and complaints about her trip. The worst thing that happened was the BF got pneumonia and then she didnt even wanna go home together with him??? Her own bf, whos sick?? She sounds more like a nuisance than anything.
@@deneilbaker The author herself called herself a Karen.
@@rachelandross4evr Exactly!
Nothing was going to please her.
The Karen on the resort. “The scariest time of my life “ so much pain a room with out a fridge. 😮
right😂
LOL Right?? But I'm wondering about CHARLIE'S point of view. I think his story would be scarier. 😅 How about . . .
"So, the wife (I'll call her 'Karen,' not her real name) wanted a vacation, and I thought 'OK, not a bad idea. Go to a nice, quiet place, maybe eat at local places, just relax,' you know, a pleasant vacation. She decides she wants to go ALL OUT. I said, 'honey, we shouldn't be spending that much right now,' but she said she would pay for it. OK fine. Turns out, she kept getting her card declined - probably went over the limit again. Prime Day was a few weeks ago and I remember she got a crap ton of boxes coming to the door. Of course she complains about it like it's someone else's fault and INSISTS that I give her my card. I wanted to say no, but she had THAT look, and seriously, I just want some peace in my life. Anyway, she SAID the bank took care of it, but I kind of have my doubts. 🙄
We get on the road. I'd told her we should just call an uber but nooo . . . she wanted to take the car. (I didn't want to pay for the parking) and the damn thing overheats. Luckily, Dave and Sally were good enough to help us out. They don't spend a lot of time with Karen so they have no idea what kind of a nightmare they were sending me to.
So, we get to the place, pretty nice, but of course, she's not happy, insisting that she paid for this and that (who knows with her? she probably booked a lesser room and didn't know the difference). She said the walls smelled. I didn't smell anything, just a little bit of dust maybe. So, like she always does, she whines and complains till she gets her way, and we get a nice suite. We go to dinner - which is great, since I'm starved by then. BUT of course 'KAREN" starts up about her food restrictions (hint: she's just a picky eater) and as usual, ruins a good, peaceful dinner. BUT it wouldn't be a dinner with 'Karen' if her whining doesn't cause the staff a lot of trouble. We didn't eat for another half an hour. I could have eaten the tablecloth by then. I wouldn't be surprised (or blame them) if they took their sweet time on purpose.
So we go back to the room, I figure we'll rest up now. Some kids were running outside in the hallway, but it wasn't bad. OF COURSE 'Karen' has to make a big deal and embarrass herself, first pestering their dad and again, the poor staff. I swear, it was a little bit noisy, but they're kids - it's not like they were kicking the walls or anything. Well, that put her in a mood and she wouldn't stop b*tching about everything - the kids, the room, yadda yadda. I just wanted to go home. By myself. BUT instead of going home, she INSISTS on changing hotels in the middle of the night. So, I get my exhausted @$$ up and pack. By now, I'm just numb. We get to the new hotel and I feel like I'm pretty much done. Some vacation!
Next day I figure, hey, salvage some of the trip, and spend time in the casino. Should be fun. Luckily, 'Karen' decides to go to the spa. FINALLY!! Some peace! But she comes back not long after saying the massage lady was sick. Damnit. So 'Karen' decides to hang out with me. 😵 She starts complaining about not feeling good, and she starts coughing her lungs out. She doesn't cover her cough or try to stay away. Because frankly, she doesn't give a $#!% about anybody. I tell her to get a mask so she won't infect everyone on the damn plane.
I figured I'd get home and get some rest. Nope. The damn 'Karen' got me sick. SO I end up in the ER, can't rest for awhile, completely miserable. Now she goes on and on about how it wasn't meant to be, universe . . . whatever nonsense she always goes on about when everything isn't perfect to her impossible standards. Moral of the story: Don't go on vacation with a 'Karen.' "
When she asked for 'special' food, I even got annoyed with her. I agree that kids shouldn't be running around at night in a hotel though.
@@GoddessPallasAthena This was a fantastic read 😂
Story 6 guy had never been outside the city ever apparently. He called rocks moldy instead of mossy and confused the sound of a bat for a bird.
Ya that one sounded like a male Karen filing a complaint because he couldn’t handle being out of the city 😂 I feel for the air b&b owner.
I was looking for a comment like this. I am a suburban kind of guy, but at least I am aware of that.
Once I traveled to Japan and shared a room with a now former friend in a rural area. My then-friend noticed a few big bugs that freaked me out a little too, but she insisted on getting someone from the staff to come over and not only kill it, but make sure no others of its kind could come in. The poor man told us in very basic English that those bugs did no harm and tried his best to get of the one present, but also basically said: "We're in the countryside. There is no way to keep out those bugs." My friend was upset with the man - and I was upset with my friend. This was a huge contributing factor to my severing ties with her some time after that trip. Had she only been panicking and saying things in the heat of the moment, that would have been excusable, but she kept insisting she was given poor service. When she said those words to a mutual friend of ours, the image of the man standing on a wobbly chair with a spray bottle and piece of cloth, balancing with out being able to hold himself because two suburban pussies could not deal with a big but harmless bug came to mind and I knew I could not deal with her attitude/superiority complex.
@Co19801003 bugs are one thing but I even see some of these people even write about being terrified of deer
@@ObsidianFallento be fair deer kill more people a year than all the large predators combined
@@robbieberg9452true but to be fair the majority of that is in vehicle accidents, not being attacked
story 6: my room was dark. scary stuff.
Last story is a KAREN
Lol a nocturnal squeaking bird is called a bat
Or a cougar 👀
“My parents didn’t care where I was as long as I wasn’t around bothering them” I felt that one ☝️
I never felt that way. My neighborhood was full of kids and stay at home moms. Every mom kept an eye on everyone’s kids no matter where we were. They didn’t hover over us, but they were always keeping an eye on us.
@@doritoreiss8089Good for you. Not everyone is that fortunate.
Must be GenX. I found a shirt recently that read "GenX raised on hose water and neglect" which accurately sums it up.
Yep I felt that too. Thank God we had a PSA that came on at 10 PM reminding our parents that they had children.
Same, my mom would lock the windows & doors to the house until 5 pm. To keep us out.
The soft " hey friends" after every video is like the sunshine after a thunder storm..
Ok Karen.
Bad trip or not can most definitely tell that couple is soft.
literally nothing happened to the guy in story #6 lol
He got scared by a bat that he thought was an owl and some clouds
The writer of the last story sounds like a real barrel of laughs. 😜 I feel bad for Charlie.
The woman in the last story sounds like the most rude, entitled Karen.
That being said, I love this channel. Your voice is so soothing. I listen to your stories at work, when I'm driving or any other time I need entertainment that's not music. Thanks for all that you do!
Here I just got out of surgery and this is exactly what I needed.
I hope you feel better soon.🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hope you recover fast! 🙏
Heal well and fast! 💐🙏
Wishing you a full and uncomplicated recovery
Wishing you a speedy recovery❤
Joel has the smoothest voice on the internet ❤ I listen to a lot of podcasts and scary story narrators, and he is the only one I pay $$ to listen to. He needs to be rewarded for his professionalism, tone, enthusiasm, and content. The best in the business 👌
Some of my favorite stories involve being in the 90s or early 2000s, basically in a time where not everyone had a camera in their pocket. something about not having nearly every aspect of life being documented that creates for a more eerie story.
dont have as much access for help via cellphones gps etc ..gets me ..and make me so thankful for my smart phone lol
I think the guy in Story 6 was just a Kevin that's never been outside the city in his entire life
Your stories only further to remind me how so many people don't pay attention to the world around them. And are so often blind sided when something happens
That woman in the last story is straight up the biggest Karen on planet Earth. She’s fortunate to even get to go on any vacation, I’ve never been on one, but is bitching about dumb little things I’d just brush off. Just jaw dropping.
Oh so you have feral children too
Perfect timing! Hope everyone is having a good night! 🖤
These may not be the scariest stories but Joel is the master at making them sound good regardless
Can’t wait for the Karen covid story! Thanks Joel!
Hey Peter! It's shelbie 👋🏻
@@honeybee416 hey Shelbie how you been
Beware the kewf
Re: story 4 where the house randomly burned down after not getting any buyers, eh? Sounds like insurance fraud to me!😊
Right on time got my kids to bed and now I can relax!! Much love from Colorado!
the opening with the skulls in space! 😮 i imagined a whole backstory of how they got there
Sick username
@@dartanianblu5876Yours is pretty ill as well, sir
I just wanna say, having complex ptsd, adhd and insomnia, you Joel, are quite literally the ONLY way I get any sleep without taking doc prescribed medication, and you have no idea how much I appreciate you for it.❤❤❤❤
You keep me going.
The story OP refers to in story 7 about the accident/dream life/lamp, I'm almost certain I heard that story here way back in the day. I know one of the more popular narrators covered it, I'm pretty positive its an OG Let's Read.
It's a true story, it was on Mr. Ballen's channel.
@@lightsalt8530 I seem to remember a couple different narrators took a crack at it. It’s an amazing story.
11:23 the nerves of making a guy that was startled awake by someone banging on his door for a weirdo attacking a teenager is really despicable, no accountability whatsoever.
It's the fact that he grabbed her and pulled her inside the room. I get it. I sleep naked often because of anxiety issues. But I'd still have the forethought to look through a peep hole and see what is going on or say, "Hey, I think you've got the wrong room".
@@AmazingFalcon276 sounds like your ears are rotten. He never pulled her into the room
@@papapros2251 the end of the story clearly present that angle.
That thumbnail with the great white shark just reminded me that I’ll never learn how to surf in my lifetime
Shark attacks don't happen as often as you think. Honestly, you have a way better chance of hurting yourself by not landing properly on/in the water and/or any corral because that will definitely end your fun for a bit.
@@nekkoskrilla6750 But I have zero chance of that happening if I don’t go into the ocean so I’ll take those odds 😂😅
There are indoor surfing schools, so if you really want to learn how to surf, there are still options 🙂
I am not trying to trick or coerce you into anything, but just wanted to ensure you are not giving up on a dream(?) because you are unaware of alternative possibilities.
@@Co19801003 indoor surfing school sounds like the move! Thanks man 🙏🏽 Forgot about those!!
Perfect timing! Just crawled into bed super early to be able to get up at 2 a.m. for work and now I have some new stories to go to sleep to! Earbuds. . .. IN! 😊
I just love listening. to your voice telling these stories, I listen to you all the time, by far my favorite
Mouldy rocks and squeaking birds...wtf 😅
your narrations are amazing. my husband and i love listening to the stories. However I do have to say ...last story on this one...is there anything that can please this lady? classic case of Karen.
Hahaha, I love the thumbnail for this one! 👍🏼 Can't wait to give this a listen later tonight while crocheting!
That story about the guy living his life after an accident to discover it was a dream sounds familiar. Like a short story I read, but the title eludes me.
It was really popular on Reddit but I also cannot recall the name
anxiety was pretty bad today, thank you for the distraction joel muah
The story where the guy is comparing his youth like the first season of Stranger Things without the upside down world, dude, I feel you. Although, if we were to go back to 1983 I would only be 2 years old. However, I remember a time where I would ride bikes and go on adventures with my group of girls or we'd be at someone's house playing outside until the street lights came on. Most of our parents wanted the peace and most of the time you didn't hear about abductions, we didn't have an Amber alert back then, but we were also told about stranger danger back then. Plus, we were allowed to walk to the playground by ourselves when we were at least 4-5 years old, shocking isn't it, we wouldn't do that now. Life was simpler back then before technology really boomed, the biggest thing parents hated was MTV and eventually video games. Someone needs to invent that time machine so I can go back to the 80's and relive some of my childhood.
Nothing about the last story was really scary. Just complaining about a trip lol. If it was read over different music it would be normal lol
The universe brought Karen what she put out there on her vacation, Last story. Her poor husband had to pay too. At least she felt bad for him, and complained, about how she felt; about him being sick. It was the hardest time in HER life, poor thing having her husband in the hospital ,in a foreign country. She must have been miserable she said as much. Karen is too good a name.!
Moral of the story is: be thankful you are even on, a vacation; and remember so is everyone else!
Let me speak to your manager 😂
I truly enjoy your narration, I binge listen to you after work, until I'm sleep,Thank you, keep up the good work:-) :-) :-) :-)
Story number 8 is a total Karen
I came here to say that too. She ruined her own vacation 💯
@@christianmenard9033 the real victim of the story is her husband 💯 😂👌
Damn Tana is awesome. Screw Paula.
Goodnight all ❤
Keep up the amazing stories man. Love these. Definitely my favorite narrator by far!!
Parents of the first kid- after such abuse, how did they not blast these "councilors" to everyone knows them? Stories like that are a huge reason I never want kids
Let’s Read is pure quality, thanks Joel 👍🏼
Another great addition to your collection of stories. Thank you sir.
joel never disappoints.
Love you bro! You always put me and my wife to sleep
My husband is GONE and I know the thing he would've wanted most in this sinful mortal world would be for his favorite storyteller to tell a big gnome story scary style. Please joel. please. Gnome more pain.
Can you please come out with scary security guard stories 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Check the video list I'm pretty sure he already has a security guard vid..
Looks in the vid list there are a few security guard stories
have a good day everyone! thank you for another amazing video!
Love the new intro :)
Another banger! Love this channel
The best , as always. Thanks Joel.
The intro!!!!
That woman in the last story sounds like the worstest😂
I totally love Joel's narrator skills
Almost summer vacation time!
Ready for summer break
that first story got my blood boiling ... those councelors need some godamn stratening out
All involved should have gone to jail. The granddaughter is so entitled she thinks criminal behavior is OK. And the ones who assisted? None tried to stop her (I'm guessing they were unhappy with the poor girl, too) and even after enough time for tempers to cool - no one when to release the girl. They were just as bad.
Awesome narration Joel!! Turned out great!
I like Joel and Mr. Nightmare’s voices the best of everyone I’ve listened to.
Good night all from Conroe, TX.
Perfect timing!
❤🎉 Thank You For The Upload Let's Read ❤🎉
00:00:01-that intro- 00:00:22
Been subbed for awhile; I love the channel!
In let’s read we trust

That second story, Cancun outside of the tourist areas IS dangerous. I have family there and they wouldn't even let me go to the corner store alone when we stayed with them.
I agree, Welling. My sister and her husband went to Cancun about 15 years ago and she wasn’t worried but I held my breath a little until they safely returned home. The day after they got back 4 people were found murdered in Cancun right outside of the touristy hotels/ all-inclusive area. They may have been tourists, don’t remember for sure but they were obviously cartel kills.
I remember being aware of a lot of cartel violence in Cancun around then, although many thought the tourist accommodation areas were protected and relatively safe. We lived in Texas so more aware of what was going on in Mexico than most Americans, and where going to Mexico for vacation had been very common for decades.
Perfect timing for bed
Poor Charlie. He almost escaped.
39:47 the lamp was a true story. A guy had a head wound and dreamt his whole life. He had to get therapy. Mourned his fake kids. Sad.
Also my favorite mr ballen story ❤❤❤
Love the intro ❤
Thanks Joel 🎉
Loving the new intro so mysterious
Love the new intro!!!!
Cant wait for the part 3 of the sam riddle storie
I love the thumbnail art your content has.
Hello and good night from Rhode Island! Thanks for the upload 👍

Really enjoyed the livestream last night. Thank you for your consistency, Joel! Now,...Let's Sleep!
A bat flies past: *protagonist shudders*
34:12 this is insane lmao I’ve stayed in a place exactly like this. Surfside beach Texas
i’ve had a story 8 happen. the night before the flight we heard several knocks at the door waking us up. nothing was there and that was the only time it happened). we get to the airport and we missed the flight and i was ready to say no but we caught the next one. after we got to the next airport we couldn’t board bc the plane was too full.
Thanks for the vid Joel :)
Maybe Morgan Freeman. But Joel narrates very well. I put him in the top 10. Very articulated.
Love it
Hey Joel thanks for shouting out my birthday on the stream, means a lot
story 2 got me laughing my ass off. the man was just sleeping tho probaply mad about waking up all of the sudden but he probaply never had any ill intend. but when you were drunk or high that sorta stuff tends to happen so probaply that.
Hey you should contact Josh Turner from paranormal round table. You should go on his live and talk about these stories.
I think he's great
That first story…made me feel sick.
THANK YOU JOEL
i keep missing your lives😞😞 my notifs aren't working
