Definitely, by far the best story teller I've seen on UA-cam!..the story of the old couple is heart breaking 💔, don't wanna give it away, but please give it a watch @OFFICE BLOKES!!
@@bobnorton3713 yep. He also seems to always know what a person is doing and thinking right b4 they die or come up missing. Must have psychic abilities.
Because he understands the mission. He doesn’t add his opinion… nothing extra, just tells the story. I’ve tried to watch others but they go yammering on about nonsense , I click off.
@@Heavenzvoicea lot of what he tells is made up, as there's nobody on the planet except for the people involved who knows what people were thinking and feeling in any given moment, however i do agree the parts he takes artistic license generally seem not sensationalized, regardless he is a very good storyteller, no arguing that
Not having a webcam/being able to afford a webcam in 2003 was pretty normal. Nowadays you can get not just a webcam for under $30 but a *good* one *with* a mic. Add in modern smartphones and there's basically no excuse. If someone consistently avoids showing their face other people just assume their lying about any number of things from age to gender. I'm sure it still happens today, of course it does, but modern internet goers are way more jaded, way more paranoid. Even someone as young as 10 would be suspicious. Back in 2003 this behavior was shocking but it was just because it was so new and exploitable, idk that "catfishing" was even a term we used yet.
Hey guys once again another great video . When Dave said he was surprised that there wasn’t a movie made about this case it made me start looking around . There actually was a 2013 movie about this case called “U Want Me To Kill Him” . Hopefully I find a way to watch it . Also I am from Boston, Ma & I’m a huge Man City fan !!!!!
According to the original BBC articles on the story, John's real name is Daniel Lomas. Online sources indicate he's still in Manchester or Wakefield area.
If i was the judge in charge of overseing that case, i'd pull a bag of weed from my robe and roll myself a blunt in the courtroom. Having to sift through this level of stupidy must be stressful
I would be screaming and crying while rolling on the ground, out of joy and amazement. If I saw a Judge pull out a Backwoods and light it up, I'd just drop dead of a heart attack right there and I'd die a very very happy man.
The diagnosis I think, you are thinking of is Folie à deux ('folly of two', or 'madness [shared] by two'). I think it’s also what two sisters from Sweden, who went to the uk and tried running across a highway and got into a fight with the cops, were diagnosed with. Not sure, but I remember it being mentioned in the documentary about the incident.
Also sisters Christine and Léa Papin in 1926 is an early (first documented? might be wrong on that one) case of folie à deux, that the movie Murderous Maids is about. Or the story of Pauline Parker and Juliet Hulme that inspired the movie Heavenly Creatures.
I sorta disagree with Daz's 'red flag'.. it was 2003? not everyone had a web cam.. even in present day I still don't have a camera attached to my PC.. I only have the built-in cameras on tablets and smart phones. But on the other hand, if you go on a video chat system and then say you don't have a camera set up and ready, I can see how that would be weird. But, no, I don't expect everyone to just have a video chat setup ready to go on a moment's notice.
Thanks for your reaction guys. I'll admit that chat rooms are weird,, even for teens because you never know who is who; because you can never see them face to face.
I'm around the same age as these people and grew up in chat rooms (mostly MSN groups) as a kid and I remember a lot of weird and shady stuff but this is insane. How can you be that gullible?
They arent the same chat services like the 90's, 2000's. But Discord and kik is really the new wave of hangout / live chat. Or rather the newwer rendition of those services, kinda.
please react to more of his videos. you guys will not be disappointed. plus mr ballen is like a drug you will get addicted to his stories because it base in real life
John did say that the guy that 'fell for it' was mentally deficient. I assume that means somewhere on the mental health spectrum. Don't be too hard on him.
If you are interested in videos to react to, based on real crimes, I recommend the case "Hello Kitty Murder Case", it is interesting, even if there may be graphic details.
This is one of the dumbest stories I ever heard with how much he believed. The whole girlfriend part thats fine catfishing happens but when it gets to the whole meeting the queen and there is a secret underwater safe part. 🤔 but I am not from your country so maybe it is more believable than I think.
Maybe because he knew Mark would find him out if he went with the “attacked by strangers” story that Janet told him to tell. Only Mark was supposed to know that. This was nearly 20 years ago, so John probably didn’t think the police could so easily discover that he was behind all those fake profiles. I really think that, at first, he just didn’t want Mark to know that he was behind it all, so he pretended like he didn’t know.
Loved this! More Mr. Ballen please.
🎯🎯

I have heard several stories from Ballen that have many facts that are very wrong. Just because he says it doesnt mean its true
@@bobnorton3713 yep. He also seems to always know what a person is doing and thinking right b4 they die or come up missing. Must have psychic abilities.
This guy is a good story teller.
Talking about Michael Jordan: This guy is a good basketball player.

Love Mr Ballen. This will be good.
You definitely need to react to more MrBallen. I've been binge-watching his videos for a couple days now and he's really, really good.
You guys should react to more Mr Ballen hes the goat
React to MrBallen: This Frat Boy Does The Unthinkable.. crazy story
I remember when this was on the news, I couldn’t believe it. Just awful.
+
Aw yeah that boy Austin 🤢 his parents should of been charged. I remember doing research on that case and was warning signs were shocking
@@Belladonna313 literally he told his sister he wanted help rich white parents Def were never gonna help
Bloody Brilliant! *said the southerner who never left the US* More Mr Ballen, he's too good at telling stories.
I found through a quck search that John's real name is Daniel Lomas

Happy Sunday everyone!!
Folie á deux - Shared psychosis. Crazy example is about the twin sisters, Sabina & Ursula Eriksson.
According to the original BBC articles on the story, John's real name is Daniel Lomas. Online sources indicate he's still in Manchester or Wakefield area.
shits wild
Damn that's wild how twisted and crazy this story
Found the Mr Ballen channel due to your first reaction to him. Good stuff
If i was the judge in charge of overseing that case, i'd pull a bag of weed from my robe and roll myself a blunt in the courtroom. Having to sift through this level of stupidy must be stressful

I can’t imagine being Mark after all that. Must of been a right mind fuck.
Mr Ballen is great!
Definitely gotta do more MrBallen! Check out his female Hannibal Lector story.
They did make a movie about this. It’s called “U Want Me to Kill Him?”. Came out in 2013.
The most bizarre story i have ever heard.
I sorta disagree with Daz's 'red flag'.. it was 2003? not everyone had a web cam.. even in present day I still don't have a camera attached to my PC..

But, no, I don't expect everyone to just have a video chat setup ready to go on a moment's notice.
I guess having it on hand wasn't that common but the cams were very cheap. Saying that you can't afford one of those crappy cams would be a red flag.
most the teens had laptops tho and they come with webcams
You guys should seriously do more mrballen! This was great!
Dude had multiple personalities for real.
Yes, Daz we had those chat phone lines too.
They were 1-900 numbers that you paid per minute. They were called party lines.
Thanks for your reaction guys. I'll admit that chat rooms are weird,, even for teens because you never know who is who; because you can never see them face to face.
That’s crazy because I literally just watched your other 2 videos you did on him
“In him” hahaha
I'm around the same age as these people and grew up in chat rooms (mostly MSN groups) as a kid and I remember a lot of weird and shady stuff but this is insane.
How can you be that gullible?
They arent the same chat services like the 90's, 2000's. But Discord and kik is really the new wave of hangout / live chat. Or rather the newwer rendition of those services, kinda.
I’m too high for this idk what is going on in this story😂
please react to more of his videos. you guys will not be disappointed. plus mr ballen is like a drug you will get addicted to his stories because it base in real life
I remember the phone chat party lines when I was a kid this was the late 80s early 90s.
If there’s actually CCTV footage, does anybody have a link for it?
Please do more MrBallen. He has so many crazy stories
I did all my chatting at the Arcade. Anyone remember those?
Running out of tokens, looking on the floor like a fiend for them ,I remember
Only at the local pizza shops on Friday nights lol
More Mr. Ballen
Kik was one of the chat room we would use back then lol but it wasn’t extreme it was like a school group chat
Most chat rooms and their services are gone, Yahoo was the one I used a lot when young.
If mrballen goes missing the like button will be the first suspect
Love MrBallen stories
You should do a jack the ripper video
12:23 Mike The GOAT!
Yes a Mr ballen reaction. I love his stories.
I’m a Mr Ballen subscriber!! Love to listen to him for long drives!
The “Bells Canyon” story is a fun one to hear!
S*** this is too bizarre and poor Mark. Poor kid oblivious to so much.
Love JB! His 411 stories are also fantastic-
His name he said is Mr B Allen
More MrBallen!
JOHNNNNNNNN WTF...THIS ENDING!!!
thank you for reacting to MrBallen his videos are amazing, please check out more you will be intrigued I promise! :)
What’s the documentary on this?
Wow you did a mcballen vid.. His story's are crazy good..
Wait, y’all use yards and miles in England as well? 🤔
i dont have a webcam, never owned one. never had a laptop always used a desktop and never bothered with a webcam cause i just used it for gaming lol
more mrballen pls
God what an insane story
I’m going to Leeds soon 🙌🏼 let’s have a pint 😅
Yep see a video where he says it's actually Mr B. Allen
The lack of awareness and common sense in this story is amazing.
More Mr ballen guys
More mr.ballen vids please!!!!
Mr. Ballen still looking like benzino i see
If John died Mark would still be in prison. Man, he was so luck.
John did say that the guy that 'fell for it' was mentally deficient. I assume that means somewhere on the mental health spectrum. Don't be too hard on him.
If you are interested in videos to react to, based on real crimes, I recommend the case "Hello Kitty Murder Case", it is interesting, even if there may be graphic details.
You'll ask a police officer you know to give you private information. That's not a very trustworthy police officer is it?
Most police officers in the USA.......same thing.....not matter where in the world you are...CANNOT TRUST THE POLICE.
its manchester lol its to be expected
Yo that intro sound loud af.
FIND OUT DAZ AND LET US KNOW 🤣😂
I have one name already 😂👍🏻
Yes, it's called Discord.
love you guys. react to this next plz Loyiso Gola Live at the Apollo
Do Ballen's evil college frat boy story or he made them play his game stories.
This is one of the dumbest stories I ever heard with how much he believed. The whole girlfriend part thats fine catfishing happens but when it gets to the whole meeting the queen and there is a secret underwater safe part. 🤔 but I am not from your country so maybe it is more believable than I think.
Watch the psyco who inspired scream by mr ballen
All that to find out it's so gross...ugh.
It's crazy how a little lie goes so far.
Imagine if the Queen reacting on this video rn. owo and Knows about it but its just not true.
He said 2013
That was a mistake on his part.
What I don't get about thus story is why after surviving the stabbing he didn't just keep up the lie why did he tell police who stabbed him?
Maybe because he knew Mark would find him out if he went with the “attacked by strangers” story that Janet told him to tell. Only Mark was supposed to know that. This was nearly 20 years ago, so John probably didn’t think the police could so easily discover that he was behind all those fake profiles. I really think that, at first, he just didn’t want Mark to know that he was behind it all, so he pretended like he didn’t know.
I believe his name is pronounced "B. Allen" rather than "Ballen"
His name is John B. Allen. However, so many people were calling him Mr. Ballen he just goes with it. He says Ballen himself.
I will pronounce it whatever the fucking way I want, Louis.
@@aindoria wow. That's a lot of aggression for a Sunday morning.
Mr Ballen has many facts that are not correct in many of his stories. I stopped watching his videos. Just because he says it doesn't mean it's true!🤐
Just wanna tell you that your intro & outro music is a tick too loud.
If you already know the story, maybe don't spoil the ending next time.
You guys should really consider doing something else with your time. Pitiful your trying 2 profit from others video's with ur "reaction".
Please pause less, ffs
Watch the original video then
I can't stand this dude! So terrible!
The only problem I have with this guy is he talks way to much! Would be better for you guys to react to Nukes top 5
Nah
Shit is doggy
