Jamel you are so cute And so super funny watching these😆 I’m basically home bound and usually alone and I’m so grateful for people like you it makes me feel like I have company 💜 🙏 thank you 🙏
Funny story. This took place many years ago. My uncle was walking home after a nights drinking in Ireland. He was making slow progress and decided to cut across a field. It was extremely dark but light enough that he tell where he was going. As he walked he could hear heavy breathing and steps with the sound of chains. He would stop and the sound would stop, he would start walking and the sounds would start again. He eventually made it to the other side of the field and continued his way home. It turned out the next morning he passed the field and what he saw made him laugh and cry at the same time. He was followed by a bull with a chain in it's nose. Relief.
LOL I wasn't expecting this comment, thanks for the high price comment. It took the hibbie jibbies out of my mind from that spooky story. Though I did enjoy listening to Mr. Ballen tell it, he always has great stories.
At the age of fifteen my father died. He was an evil man, I was NOT missing him. About two weeks after his death a friend was staying over and the next morning we were going trout fishing. About 12 midnight I told my buddy we should go to sleep because his dad was picking us up early to go fishing. I reached over and turned off the light. Immediately I saw my father standing in the door way half inside and facing us. I quickly turned the light back on. I asked my buddy " did you see anything?" I SPECIFICALLY DIDN'T tell him what I saw. Donnie Immediately said " yea, I saw your dad" This was over sixty years ago and I remember it like yesterday
@@allismama Christ said " A spirit hath not flesh and blood as you see me have" . A direct admission by CHRIST HIMSELF to the existence of " spirits". You are only regurgitating an UNPROVEN idea not backed by scripture. Spirits, if you do your homework, DO exist and they are separate from demons or Angels which ARE NOT SPIRIT.
@heaven bound.Jad that’s happen to me. I and 2 friends had seance in a dark room and saw a double jointed witch looking spirit with long hair dressed in rags dancing in a mirror. I repented but the image bothered me from then on. Never again. We each described part of the image to each other to verify what we each saw. Another time I thought I was awake seeing something but I woke up and realized I was dreaming and that it’s that it was sleep paralysis. Bit the i age in the mirror was t because we were standing up. They say that is mass hysteria and a scientific explanation though through tricks of the mind but Idk. I just don’t allow such in my life anymore.
@@tankster5826 yes, the world denies Satan and his demons. Seances are of the devil. About fifty years ago, me and five others were confronted by a demon as a result of STUPIDLY playing with a Ouji board.
@heaven bound. Yep and every few years they sometimes return to try to retest a person. I found out mere words of rebuke don’t work either. Faith has to be live out in front of them to show we mean business and are not intimidated. SIns have to be repented of etc. so as to leave no spiritual doors open. Then it was like they influenced my husband and I had to throw him out for a while until he repented of bad behaviors. But if stand firm in faith and live right they flee. They can’t stand a morally upright person and flee in fear.
They need to smudge, or bless that house. Our (my husband and I) rental house had an entity and we didn't talk about it to each other until 4-6 months in. I was in the shower while my husband went to grocery store. I got out of shower and heard something LOUD fall to the floor in the next room. I thought it was my husband who probably dropped something, but he hadn't come home yet. I walked through the house and nothing was out of place. When my husband got home, I talked with him and he acknowledged he had been feeling something too. He didn't mention it to me cause he didn't want to worry or scare me. I am Native American and I sent a message out to my people requesting help to "smudge" this place. After they came and blessed this place, all has been peaceful.
@@ChristopherMueller-qm9us To Smudge is to cleanse a person or place with smoke from burning sage or sweetgrass. Our home situation needed a whole house blessing. A small group of Medicine Circle sisters used candles and bells and prayers through our house.
Back in the mid-90's my wife's best friend passed away unexpectedly. Needless to say, my wife was extremely upset. Two days AFTER she had passed away my wife receives a phone call from her assuring she was ok and no longer in any pain. My wife freaked out and slammed the phone down because she immediately thought someone was playing a sick joke on her. She quickly realized it was indeed her dear friend's voice but she was trying to process what just happened. In December '99 we were sitting on opposite ends of our couch when all of a sudden I felt this extremely cold mass brush against my forearm and cheek which startled me to say the least. My wife noticed and asked what was the matter. This mass had a distinct shape(although you couldn't see it) since as soon as it passed by me the room temperature returned to normal. At that point it was heading in my wife's location and I couldn't fully get the words out to tell her what had happened. Within a second or two my wife gasped and burst into tears because (in her words) she felt intense love pass through her body. It was one of those in-your-face paranormal events which you can't deny there's more going on than just our physical world. Everyone in my family has had paranormal experiences so nobody will be able to convince us otherwise.
As someone who had her first paranormal encounter at 10 years old and has had several encounters since as an adult, I totally understand his fear. They say that life is energy, and that energy never dies so I don't doubt his story at all. Some of us are sensitive to the restless spirits and they seek us out. None of my experiences were in anyway frightful just unnerving.
I've heard this story a few times at this point. When he says he's starting to get chills, you know it's intense; if Mr. Ballen is scared, you should be scared.
When I heard him tell this story on his podcast my heart sank! I am in my fifties and when I was about 5 or 6 I had experienced something like this. My bedroom door was always left open and for awhile every night I would see a silhouette of a tall grey men just very slowly walk into my room and just fall into my bed. It was always one right after the other. I called them dust men because it looked like dust that formed a shape of tall men. I would sit and just watch this happen. I remember not being too afraid but yet I would never get out of bed. I told my parents this and they just thought I was dreaming. If it didn't happen for so many nights I would of agreed. After awhile it stopped and I never have seen these dust men again. But the falling into my bed and disappearing is what stuck me with Mr. Ballon story.
@@Tom_McMurtry , I honestly don't remember. I think it just stop with age. But it's funny even after 50 plus years I can still remember how they looked and how they walked in slow motion over to my bed and disappeared as they fell into it.
@Dana. SOMETIMES kids dream with their eyes open when they are small and they are real tired. I saw a movie with camels and outside my window that night I thought I saw Arabs on camels going by like your dust men.
I'm 55, and about 10 yrs ago I saw a shadow person at work. Since then about once a year I witness something odd. 2 months ago a digital thermometer just flew of the desk I was at and onto the floor. 2 years ago my stepdaughter got out of the passenger side door and left it open to get something out of the trunk while I was dropping off at her apartment when the door just closed on its own as if someone pushed it closed. Spirits are everywhere, just sometimes we see them or evidence of them.
We lived in a house that was built before the civil war when I was 12. The house is now on the Historical list in that town. I saw fire that wasn't there and my sis saw a dark figure pacing back and forth in the living room. It's funny because we never discussed it until we were adults and were talking about the times when we lived there. I was floored.
Add on since YT won’t let me update my posted comments when I use my iPad: Your reaction to going to get your kid from seeing ghosts…. That’s really sweet and I applaud you. I went through literal years of horrible things happening to me and not just the odd sight or sound that could be passed off as dream or normal overactive imagination. Huge noises, wrooonggg noises, objects moving, all sorts of stuff and told my mother (and through her my stepfather) about this for YEARS over and over and not once did they ever even come to spend time checking out my room. Finally when I was about 16-17 my mom got flippant with me and told me “next time it happens tell them to come do it to me” and I did. Next evening she thinks she and my stepdad are alone in the kitchen after work and I walk through the den that’s on the edge of the room and hear them talking, my mom upset, so I admittedly stop to eavesdrop. Mom is sitting at the kitchen table BAWLING to my stepfather about what happened to her that day and asking if his dead parents or something want us to move out of the house, etc while he reassures and calms her. After that she took me partially seriously. By the time a month went by she had decided that “sure, some odd things happen but I think it’s mostly your imagination” and I spent another 2 years in that house with that almost daily and crying to her about it every so often while she dismissed it as imagination. Ever call a parent of mine over, “I’m at X place and I’m scared seeing ghosts” and thinking they’d come get me even if it was nearby, let alone way out at a skiing trip? No way in hell. She experienced it one day and wanted to move of what I dealt with for years and not once did they even directly address it like it was a real problem for me and even come to check out my room. Again, kudos for you for being a parent who would be going to get their kid. Even if a kid was imagining it, if it was so bad they called home from a special trip to be picked up that’s reason enough to go get them.
I believe we are all connected, in life & after death. What you experienced is because you were actually more open to seeing those to whom we are connected. Many times the departed have unfinished business, they want to warn us of danger, or they just want to let us know that they're around & protecting us but, they have no way to communicate with us. I see & feel the presence of ghosts. Most of them are people known to me but I've seen people who, in life, I've never met. Now, I just ask them what they want (to tell me). Those events are usually followed by dreams or a series of events that answers my question. I've also been to places that are known to be haunted by 'not so nice' spirits & they never show up when I'm there. One such time was in Williamsburg, Va. We were on an evening walking tour, & our guide said for a solid week a spirit appeared in the window of one of the houses. I smiled to myself & thought, not tonight she won't, & she didn't. I've even had the same exact dream as a friend/co-worker of mine (same day, same time, same place, same people). It scared the heck out of my friend when I asked her if she had a dream, the night before, because she realized I had the same one.
That lady thought she saw her husband, but demons can masquerade as deceased loved ones. This guy saw what it really was. Scratching "i love you" on the table could have gotten that poor woman to leave the spiritual door open for it. I believe evil spirits coming on people when they're grieving is one reason some remain stuck long after a loss. Anyway, to anyone suffering a loss, please don't be lured into looking for signs and what not. You will see your loved one later. Till then, close the door.
I totally believe that it was her husband. I don't believe that all ghosts/spirits are "evil". That's what I hear from religious fanatics who were programmed to believe that.
@@elizabethsullivan7176 When my sister died, the night after we came from the cemetery, I sensed she was in my parents' house where we were. Whether that truly was her or not, I didn't know, but I prayed for her to go to God. I sensed the presence leave and within a few moments, I felt something evil come in. It was after my mom, who obviously was grieving even harder than I was. She was asleep. I woke her up and told her we had to pray, and we did until it left. I was not religious as the time, but I had sense enough to know to call on Jesus. I became a Christian years later, and now believe the first spirit was not my sister, but an impersonating sprit who got angry when I called on the Lord and tried to bypass me to get to my mother. There is no reason for a dark spirit to just happen to show up at the same time and place as a deceased loved one who is there to "comfort" you. But believe as you will.
This sounds so much like the experiences I had at my sister-in-law's cottage, but with the entity shuffling from the kitchen into our sleeping area and sitting down on the end of my bed. From day one, I could never ever ever sleep there - not even in the car - and stopped going altogether after year two. Other visitors also had unusual experiences, like not being able to open a door and then having no problem opening the door, or coming back from an afternoon on the lake to find your bed looking like it was slept in, and the constant feeling that there were "others" with you.
I was outside in the garage talking with my husband, we were at my parent's house. My dad had recently had back surgery, so he was resting in the bed at mid-afternoon. I heard these heavy footsteps come into the kitchen. The house was peer and beam foundation, so the footstep had a funny kind of hollow sound, as if the floor didn't have a well-built foundation. I heard the kitchen utensil drawer open, and the sound of spoons and forks being rattled around. I told my husband. Dad is up, I better go fix him something to eat. I came inside, expecting to see him standing near the cabinet drawer, no one was there!. I hadn't delayed entering the house, because like I said, dad had recently had surgery on his back. No one was there! I went down our long hallway to my parent's bedroom. Dad was asleep in his bed. He was in no shape to move very fast. So I knew it hadn't been him I heard. I knew what I heard. I wasn't afraid. I am a believer in my Lord Jesus Christ, so I knew I was safe.
I grew up in a house that had spiritual activity all the time. Multiple times daily. The first one I remember is when I was 5. We were sitting in the breakfast nook eating breakfast. The cupboard flew open, and a jar of pickles flew across and hit the opposite wall. I asked my mother what it was and she simply said "nothing to be scared of, it's just our ghosts" They were everywhere, but not mean or scary.
When I was about 7 years old I use to see (or thought I saw) the dark shadows and silhouettes of two small people dancing on my bedroom floor around 2 or 3am in the morning.
when I was smaller i thought I could see small particles of air sort of like dust move in waves throughout the room. Except it was night so there was no light. but it was just a rythmic wave and dance. Like a lot of birds like starlings in a flock
@@Tom_McMurtry I had the same experience at night sometimes when I was very young, and I didn't know anyone else had it. The little spots of light that I saw were bright pink or electric blue and they would swirl and then disappear after a few seconds. I think there might have been a sound when it happened too.
You have to give credit to Mr. Ballen for telling this story because he was petrified just telling it and he didn't have to tell it. But on the basis of what he talks about in his channel he decided to. He is so good at this. I myself have been involved in shadow people ( or ghosts). One was gray and one was black. But that's for another time. Luv ya
1980s, staying with friends at their cottage in Ormskirk, England (near Liverpool). A couple hours after I’d gone to bed kind of late, I was awakened by heavy footsteps in the hallway outside my door. Thump . . . Thump . . . Thump . . . Thump (you get the idea) they’d walk all the way to the end of the hall, pause, then walk back the other way. At the other end of the hallway, the footsteps would pause. Then the toilet in the tiny little bathroom there would flush. Quiet, quiet, quiet. Then the heavy footsteps would start all over again slowly walking down the hallway, pause at the end, turn and come back. Pause, toilet flush, pause again. Then start doing it over and over for hours. The next morning, I asked my friend if everything were alright, because I’d heard him up pacing all night and using the toilet. He smiled and said all was fine - and asked if I’d heard the ghost. He said they hear it nearly every night and don’t really pay much attention to it anymore. A farmer who owned the cottage in the early 1800s had hung himself where we were having breakfast and they figured he was the one pacing back and forth all night. He said they’d never gotten up enough nerve, however, to go out into the hallway to use that little bathroom during the night. Hahaha. True story. I was happy to leave later that day.
Thank you for doing this one, Jamel! Yes, I think most people have seen something they can't explain in their lives. I had one in my house and it led me into paranormal investigations. There're definitely things that happen out there that cannot be explained. Searched for years for answers and kept coming back to the same conclusion. At the same time, there are also many things that can be explained when answers are really searched out. It's the ones that cannot be debunked that kept me looking until I finally stopped and decided that it is what it is.
I live in Ireland. My aunt moved too a house in the country. She and her husband went out this night years ago. They had several kids so had her brother babysit. When they came back, he came running out and said he was never coming back without explanation. Before or after that, one of her kids said he saw a another kid standing upright only he saw no legs and the kids lips were stitched together like a dead person. Where would a six year old know that to make up a story like that. There are more such stories but I don't have the time.
Kevin O'Riordan..., YIKES, how scary, my arm hairs r standing. That poor little boy, now that's a haunt. Well Kevin this is why Mr.Ballen tells story like this and you never know I would listen to ur Podcast too. You never know. Have a good day Maria from NY :)
My ghost story happened in broad daylight in my own home. At the time I didn't know what it could be but a few years later I learned that an ex of mine had passed away and he had been recently deceased when this incident happened in my home so I knew (because of the circumstances of the event -- too detailed to go into here) that it was him and actually I thought it was pretty cool. I was not scared at all. Just in awe. He has not visited me since but the roses he brought during the event and their aroma that heavily permeated the room were lovely.
I grew up in a haunted house. My parents bought it when I was 14. They lived there for 30 yrs before they sold it. Lived there for the next 20 years off and on til I got my own house. Hated being there alone. When they were getting ready to sell it, I helped by painting the house for them. I was in their room with the door halfway closed painting the trim around the door. I hear the front door open and can hear talking go into the middle room. I thought it was my sister showing the house cuz she's a real estate agent. I walk in there to talk to her and I can hear talking til I turned to go in that room and it stops and there's nobody there. I got chills and then went to the front door and it was locked. That door made a certain sound when it was opened. I then remember that I came in the house through the garage. When I was leaving I went to go clean the brushes off outside by the room. We had taken the blinds out to replace them and I looked in the window and see someone staring at me. I thought maybe someone was behind me. I looked behind me and there's the fence 2 ft away. I looked back in the window and see the guy still. Then he fades away. That's just one of many stories that I have of that house. Was so glad they sold it.
What surprises me is that people dismiss these experiences. Sure, a lot of times they can be explained by rational means and you should rule out the probable first. However, there is so much we don't know about life itself, that to dismiss the possibilities of inter-dimensional contacts ( because that's what these are) is to be ignorant to the wonders of our existence. I have experienced both sleep paralysis and visits from passed loved ones and although it can be unnerving at times I just claim it as another life experience. 3am is also the time these things tend to happen, as if there's a 'window of opportunity' for the crossover from their world to ours. It's all part of life's great mystery!. Oh!, btw, I usually put the light on for a couple of nights after an experience so that I don't dwell on it. It helps, lol. Great vid Jamel. peace and sleep well!!😊
@@kellybee1935 I'm not sure Kelly Bee, but I too have had this happen. Knocks on the front door...and no one there! Always at 2.30am to 3am. I did hear or read about the 3am significance many moons ago, but my memory being what it is, the reason for it escapes me. They might have only been theorising anyway. It's interesting though! 😊
When we came home from my Father's funeral, he visited everyone that attended his funeral. Everyone called us to say they smelled my Father's pipe tobacco. He blew the smoke into my middle Sister's face. His Great Aunt smelled his tobacco all over her apartment & said to him, "Bernie, you know the rules, you have to smoke on the balcony" & she went to her sliding glass door, opened it, & the smoke was sucked out onto the balcony.
Dee Dee, I don't think that was a haunt. Just telling u I'm fine really. When my mom passed her scent was everywhere and i wasn't frighten at all. I felt the Peace & Love. Dee Dee sorry for your Loss. Peace maria :)
Well, Mr. Ballen's story is sort of close to one of mine. But mine made me smile. Back in the day when my husband would go to the bedroom right off the den I would be in. He would be watching something on TV, I didn't care about so I would be in the den. It seemed every couple of days that was were he would be. He would knock on the wall 3 times (always 3 times) while he was in bed. I would roll my eyes and go see what he wanted. It was usually tea or a beer. I would complain while I was going to get it. I was pretty close to perfect but he was a stinker. LOL He passed away 10 1/2 years ago. About 2 years after, I was sitting in the den watching something on tv and alone in the house. I heard those three knocks from that bedroom. Just the 3 knocks only, exactly the way he did it. I had the biggest smile on my face knowing for sure that was him letting me know he was fine. Only heard it one more time. There are a few other things that didn't have anything to do with him. But I prefer to keep that in mind and not the few others.
Your mind always tries to find a reasonable explanation when strange things happen to you. My family and I experienced paranormal happenings in a rental home and for the first 2 or 3 months we each explained it off in our minds until we each found out we were ALL experiencing it and not telling each other. My 15 year old son, at the time and I heard a man say in a slow clear deep voice, "I feel so sick." At the word Feel my son and I made eye contact and held eye contact until the last word spoken. We were both in shock but did manage to ask , " Did you hear that??? " Of course we both did. My husband and my other son, who was 13 at the time, were both upstairs with their bedroom doors closed and asleep not to mention neither one of them talk in their sleep and it was ABSOLUTELY 100% NOT their voice. My husband woke up the next day vomiting most of the day missing work which he hardly ever did. We got out of There as soon as we found another place. We were there a total of 8 months. This happened 14 yrs ago. Haven't experienced anything like that ever again thank goodness.
I had my first paranormal experience at 3 years old. I had more at 4, 5 and 6. Then at 10 etc. Absolutely terrifying. I can count on one hand how many people I've told what happened. This stuff is real. I'm still haunted by those experiences and the ones I've had as an adult.
I walked into my bedroom one night, saw a little boy sitting in my laundry basket. He looked at me then disappeared. Had other things like that happen at odd times. The dead don’t scare me, it’s the living that scare me
Another of those “still HUNTS me” videos (instead of HAUNTS me) 😆😆😆. We’ve heard him tell many stories from the outside looking in, but this one, was him telling it from the “inside looking out” & that’s what makes it all the more compelling 🤭🤚
This is true, although it sounds made-up. 20 years ago a friend of mine bought a house, she said she believed there might be a ghost in the house, and one day she told me she had seen a little girl that morning sitting at a desk in her office, looking at her. None of this bothered her much, but there was one bedroom she wouldn’t go in. She just said “No. There’s something in there.” She had it stacked with boxes and things, like a messy attic. I told her she was wasting a bedroom and that I’d clean it out and sleep there that night to show her it was ok. I wasn’t sure myself, because I’d seen and heard strange things in that house and garage. I cleaned out and cleaned the room that day, and when it was time for bed, speaking out loud, I thanked whoever had been watching things in the room and keeping it safe, told them how much we appreciated what they’d done, but that they could go on now because we had it covered for now on. This is the unbelievable part, but it happened: the bed was centered on one wall; a light the size of a ping pong ball appeared just above the pillow in the middle of the headboard, rose to the ceiling against the wall, where another light appeared next to it, and the two lights moved to the corner of the ceiling and the walls, and disappeared. She never had trouble with that room again, and these years later uses it as her bedroom. I’ve never seen anything like it before or since, I’ll never forget it, and I swear it’s true.
John's not joking! I understand exactly where he's coming from! I've had three of them in my lifetime. One when I was 5, one when I was 8 and a series of them in my 30's. The one in my 30's was my middle son more than me. It was what he was seeing that disturbed me. I just can't talk about it quite yet. As it is very disturbing. And went on from the day we moved into this particular house till the day we moved out. Wh when we moved it stopped, so it was related to this particular house and property. I was glad when we moved, especially for my middle child. It was like these apparitions were sucking the life out of, at that time, my youngest child! It was terrifying! Jill Gross
There is something about being in a cabin I swear, when I was a kid my next door neighbors would take me to a small amusement park where you could also rent out cabins in PA and I’d have the weirdest/most vivid dreams except they didn’t feel like dreams it felt real and it was never pleasant but I also didn’t experience anything ghost like but more of a sense of dread and loneliness but I was outside of the cabin so I had to be dreaming. Oddly when I got into my teens they stopped happening when going, personally I don’t believe in the paranormal however I do think the woods tend to bring out an innate brain function that’s been lost to time mostly and humans not having to survive like centuries ago
1977 living in CT …my Grandmother (my mom’s mom) passes away…fast forward to 1983 we move to Florida….I’m watching tv in the family room….I feel eyes on me I turn from the tv & look in the direction of where I feel those eyes on me & there standing in the doorway of my parents bedroom is my Grandmother and she’s looking right at me …we make eye contact…she gives me a slight nod and she’s gone …. True story & the one and only time it happened 🙏❤️ you Grandma
whoooaf!!! this is freakin terrifying!!! My kids and myself have had a few paranormal experiences. It really feels crazy to even say this but all true. I had to learn how to smudge and Bless my home, space, my kids and myself. it did work and my kids know how to get rid of funky energies now. Gotta claim/command your space. There are also those experiences that are Loving and caring. you'll definitely know the difference.
I've only had two paranormal activity things happen but one was in broad daylight and we were told about the ghost prior to our arrival. I grew up in Concord MA and a friend of mine had a sister renting a portion of a huge home. The home had been investigated by a medium back in the early 1970's and the medium said the ghost was friendly but liked adolescent girls. We found out that after we went to the house and I was 15ish and my other to girl friends were about the same age. While we were there the first thing that happened was a tv , remember this was the 70's when tv's weighed quite a bit, fell off a solid chest. Then I was holding a six pack container when they used to be packed in plastic rings, not in a cardboard box. Not just one but one by one the soda cans fell out from the secure plastic rings onto the floor. Then doors just opened and closed and it got cold. Then it just stopped and the girl who lived there explained the entire story and said maybe you should go to us. I thought it was funny, others did not. The next one was in my own house when my dog passed away that was my shadow. It was a cocker spaniel that was like my kid though I was 17 at the time. She passed and one night I heard scratching on the front door so I went there and I did not see anything but I looked down and my dog just walked in. My dog passed away in my front yard. I think it just wanted to come in though I felt her presence all the time. I would feel weight on my bed that I slept alone in, I found it comforting.
I lost one of my little brothers when I was 8 yo. One night, right after he died, I woke up in the middle of the night in my bedroom because I felt someone tickling my feet. There was no one there. I got up and went into the living room and slept on the couch. The next morning my parents came out of their room and asked me why I was sleeping on the couch. I said because someone was tickling my feet. My mother told me that same night she woke up in the middle of the night and saw my brother standing in her bedroom. She wasn’t afraid and said it was a very calm feeling and that he smiled at her. Like he was letting her know he was alright. I can’t explain this, but I’m now 40 yo and still remember that night and it wasn’t a dream. I have never been visited since and to this day, no matter how hot I get, ever let my feet out from underneath the covers. 🙏🏻

Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too. You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had. Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor and gave him the name above all other names, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue declare that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. -Philippians 2:3-11 NLT ☺☺☺ 💖🙏 “Come and see a man who told me everything I ever did!

What joy awaits both the planter and the harvester alike! Then they said to the woman, “Now we believe, we know that he is indeed the Savior of the world.” - John 4:29-42 NLT ☺☺☺ 💖🙏 “Teacher,” they said to Jesus, “this woman was caught in the act of adultery. The law of Moses says to stone her. What do you say?” "Let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone!” Then he stooped down again and wrote in the dust. When the accusers heard this, they slipped away one by one. Then Jesus stood up again and said to the woman, “Where are your accusers? Didn’t even one of them condemn you?” “No, Lord,” she said. And Jesus said, “Neither do I. Go and sin no more.” -John 8:4-11 NLT ☺☺☺ 💖🙏 i'm not saying i'm better or telling you what you should do. i'm praying for you and our world's healing. so please pray with me too... ☺☺☺
Yes that was a experience I have to say. I had experience something like that at my grandmothers house every time I see something I turn the light on. My grandmother came in to tell me to turn the light off and I told her there were some people out there and she told me that there was no one there to turn the light off. Are used to like spending the weekend at my grandmothers house but then after that I didn’t stay there anymore. The sad thing for Mr Ballen is that he lost two friends over this.
My mom who was clergy, so unlikely to lie about this, told me about a friend’s house that had an old carpet at the top of the stairs. One day it started to flap a bit, as if a wind was blowing it. Every time someone went up the stairs, they would find the carpet flapping a bit. Finally, the father put a brick on each corner of the carpet. The next time someone came up the stairs, the bricks were piled on top of each other and the carpet was flapping again.
When I was 6 I was in the local video rental place Witt my mom and brothers. We got to pick out a video on Friday nights (usually wrestling videos lol) and somehow I got turned around and separated from everyone. I panic, run around the corner and run heads up into the most NIGHTMARE ish horror movie villain of that era (85-87) Needless to say I let out a scream but nothing came out. It was a life size cardboard cut out advertising the latest movie. As a notorious light sleeper that’s plagued with realistic dreams it’s the perfect storm of phobia. Got a phobia to this day.
I have not experienced any paranormal activity but two instances were told to me , one was my Grandmother who saw my Grandfather who had passed away a short time before, he was standing in the doorway that led to the living room, of their home. My Grandmother was very frightened by the experience. Something similar happened to my mother after my father had died, she had fallen asleep in her armchair and suddenly woke up to find my father sitting opposite her, she said smiling “ Oh you’ve come back” and then he was gone. I have heard that this is quite common after a bereavement.
Interesting that you listened to this and it freaks you out, Jamel. :) I am highly attuned to this stuff and when I was really young, I could see what I would call "entities" all the time. It took awhile for me to understand no one else could see them and then I taught myself to not see them so I could fit in. They didn't scare me when I was really young, I was just aware they were there all around. When I was probably 8 - 10, I was in my brothers' bedroom upstairs where there were two attic doors, one in the wall and one in the ceiling. One of the beds backed up to the door in the wall, blocking it. Now we had been in there because there were really old things like one of those RCA victrola horns and things like that so it was cool for us to go in there. It wasn't a big area, but when you are small it's easy to play in those places. So I was on the bed with my feet near that door (which was latched shut) reading a book when all the sudden the door flew open and started slamming against the bed. I was off that bed like a shot and ran downstairs. After I turned 10, I moved into a bedroom downstairs and everyone else slept upstairs. We lived in the country so it was pitch black at night. One night I woke up to the sound of the strings inside my piano playing, almost like someone plucking at the strings. That time there was no way out without running by the piano. My mom tried to say a mouse must have gotten in there, but I knew that wasn't a mouse. It sounded like someone playing those strings inside the piano like a harp. Later on, in that same room, I woke up to something scratching at the screens on the windows and I could see something out there. The next day, there were tears in the screens where something had scratched at it. These were the old metal screens, not vinyl. After my grandmothers died when I was 11, they used to come to see me in the middle of the night. I would wake up and they would be standing next to the bed. I was so scared, I would run upstairs and sleep on the floor next to my parents. It even happened when I stayed with my cousin and she woke up in the night and stepped on me getting out of bed because I was sleeping on the floor next to their bed because I was afraid. Why I was afraid of my grandmothers I couldn't tell you. They would never hurt me. I guess it just freaked me out to wake up and see them clear as day, standing there next to my bed (they never came together but at different times separately). When one of my aunts died, I woke up out of a sound sleep to her saying, "I'm gone now" and the phone rang. It was my mom saying she had just passed away. After my mother in law died, she came to me one night, floating above me and said, "I'm just hanging around having a good time." (That actually helped me because I had a hard time after she died.) The weirdest one though was when I visited my parents and had to sleep in my brothers' old room. I was just drifting off to sleep when I felt something grab my shoulder and dig in with it's nails. I don't know why I thought it was the cat, but I did. Maybe it felt like cat's claws. Anyway, since I thought it was the cat, I reached over to swat it away and nothing was there. I rolled over to yell at the cat and nothing was there. That one did freak me out. I never stayed in that house over night after that.
Hahahahaha, “it really rakes a lot of anomalies to stack up…”. Maybe it’s just how I was raised to be vigilant about the house AND outside for safety, but my and my family's first reaction to a sound that makes no sense of location is *head up, think about it, turn on light and investigate with the nearest person cautiously*. I grew up in a very rural area…. You hear your outside porch when no one should be out there or god forbid a wrong sound in your home it’s high-alert moment because no one is even supposed to be fiddling around out there, whereas family and friends living in town we would sometimes - outside porch/stoop - have kids or dogs or something come on it. In the woods we had two possibilities: wild animal IF it stayed outside, NOT if it came inside, so no problem or HUMAN INVASION because no one should be there…. Or even if someone is dropping by they let you know if it’ll be late and usually call out a ,”hey, I’m here!” so as not to alarm anyone.
We lived in the middle of 30 acres and it was the same scenery as yours, crickets, owls and the noise any of the animals you had. We had a small farm so chickens, dogs horse and cat. I did experience something but not terrifying that time.
@@mala3isity Lol, exactly. You don’t hear what sounds like someone walking up into your house out where no people should even be without announcing themselves and lie in bed thinking, “let’s see what happens next…no one could be here”. It’s “NO ONE SHOULD BE HERE”. I’m assuming it’s maybe because he grew up in a more populated area where, sure, you hear outside noises all the time… pets and kids maybe on your stairs or deck, etc and a kind of noise-exclusion and/or just plain disbelief of it being in him somewhere because of that?. I’ve lived plenty of places like that in later years but already and my rural imprinting lol so I can’t really get it. That rural style raising has always had me react the same way wherever I’ve lived. I mean, even if you grow up in a town or city it just seems so weird to hear an outside door open and just wait without even waking the person next to you. In populated areas it could be a robber or worse, too…. Who knows? Maybe just personality thing…? But bingo with you on it. Your scared but it’s time to protect your home. Invasion by animal or human, you have to deal with it.
Crazy that my scariest story is from the white mountains in New Hampshire. In an old shut down ski resort?? I think it is the same place!! Ouija board. Toilet flushing on its own. Oracle on the board moving by its self. Crazy long story. Totally a Steven King kinda place.
Watching you watch this is very entertaining. I love the way this guy tells stories. The fact that they are all true makes it even better. Great reaction Jamal!!!!
Between my own experience and those of friends and family I’ve certainly collected a number of stories. My own experiences aren’t quite this intense (things I’ve seen are far more limited than things I’ve heard or otherwise sensed). But I certainly believe.
This is freaking me out had the same experience but I know, it was a demon. I remember every detail, smell and visual detail even though it was 40 years ago. It would be a minute for me to go into detail from start to finish so I won’t
This was very early in his vids, that's why it's so basic. Also, being an X Navy Seal, I DO NOT BELIEVE HE WOULD LIE! He has Nothing to gain from it. And if he was found to be lying, he would lose a LOT of credibility. Seems pretty credible to me! I trust him for his word.
It sounds like a residual haunting where it's like a ghost repeats the same exact thing every night it's like a replaying a movie over and over again but it's real 😳
Hes an amazing story teller and yes I can see why he quit hanging around with Nick for He would no want go back to that cabin, I wouldnt, for sure., and if he got mad , too bad, No way would I go back. I myself was in bed and our bed was laying so the door was beside it if you got up and could walk across floor and out, One night I looked at door and there was a dark black outline or shadow person there, seem thin to me and my little dog at end of bet even gave a little bark and lifted head and looked at it , it took off down hall, I woke my husband up and said , someone in the house, he grabbed gun we kept by bed and I stayed behind him we searched house and could find no one, back door was not locked and I keep telling my self it had to be someone but it was just the unatural movement of the shadow that I question. I have never seen it again and hope never do , Im a Christian and dont believe in ghosts but believe demons take on forms to confuse and try to decieve people. , but I do know I saw it, and so did my little dog
Sound like classic sleep paralyses. I mean everyone would wake up his friends, if you hear some stranger at night in your house. The mom made it up so he would be less afraid.
What stood out in this story was the height of the figure. A friend experienced a similar huge figure while camping at joshua tree national park in the middle of the night.
I had an experience when I was about 5 and it scared me so much I had to sleep with a nightlight until I was a junior in high school. I had to have my door open and the shades drawn. I would sneak into my parents bedroom most nights until the sun came up and then sneak back in my bedroom so they wouldn't catch me. My mom tripped over me one night and was so mad. She made me go to my bedroom that night. I wish I could type the whole story. Initially when it happened I put the covers over my head. I was frozen in fear. Then at some point after telling myself you need to get to the door and mom I got enough nerve and ran to the door to get out. The door was stuck and wouldn't open! This thing then spoke a few words to me! It might have been telepathically. When I finally got the door open I remember running to my mom. She thought I was making it up and she made me go right back to bed with the door shut because they had company. I still don't know if it was just a vivid dream or if it actually happened. It scared me my whole childhood and until I was about 19. I didn't tell anyone about it for a very long time because I thought they would think I was nuts. It wasn't until I moved out that house that I felt safe. Crazy thing about this video is I live in NH. I have friends that live in the White Mountains. I have an idea where he is talking about. My experience happened in MA though.
@@Tom_McMurtry funny you say that. I was too scared to look at what it was once the shade flew up. I had a very small room. The window was behind my head and a little to the left of me but I could see out of it in the mirror. Covers went immediately over my head. Once I got to the door and it was stuck, I got enough courage to turn around to see what it was. Originally, it appeared to me as Jesus floating out of my window. It could be because of my religious upbringing. It morphed into something evil. When it spoke to me. It said "If I ever see you again, you will never see your parents again." This is why I was terrified of the dark etc...
@@ericaa6246 that dkes sound terrifying! Even more so when briefly manifesting as something seemingly positive before turning into clearly evil. Hey. All the best with you.
I have a lot of thoughts and theories on sleep paralysis demons/hags. I have it, and my first experience with the hag (not my first paralysis) she had to walk in my front door, and find me. I've moved twice since that place, and my current place is a two bedroom, and I occasionally switch bedrooms just because I can. Every time I'm in a new place it seems she has to find me, I hear her walking around in the hallway. Then once she finds me, she's there when the paralysis starts. My first experience was early (for me) internet, I was not frequenting any forums or anything that would influence me in seeing this hag. It wasn't until a year or two later, when I joined the SA forums, and found someone else talking about it that I learned what I had, and that other people saw this hag. It's too weird that so many people see the same few things during sleep paralysis, and while some may be influenced by what they read these days, arguably, like I said, back then I had no prior knowledge, and then images people had made fit my description exactly. My first thought was not that he was experiencing SP, but that Nick was, and he was somehow seeing Nick's demon. Nick, just not waking up for the experience.
I had a very similar experience when I was a teen -- but I'm now 65 years old and that was the only time in my entire life something like that happened to me. I do believe that there are things out there that can't be explained and that anything is possible.
Me too. I’m 58 but I had 2 experiences. One when I was probably 8 and one when I was 16. I have never told of the first experience because no one would believe me.
@@kellybee1935 If you tell the first I would believe you. But that's just because reading the comments here and on Mr Ballen videos and watching NDEs of doctor atheists there is too much far beyond what we can explain
I use to watch him but the stories creeped me out so i stoped... I now started watching them again with you, it makes it nice having you with me to watch these so i dont feel alone.. It really helps!! Lol thx!
If I here something in the night, immediately I grab my 9mm & quietly search for an intruder. No way would I let someone or something just walk through my house, filled with my loved ones, while lying there gripping my blanket!!!
I do believe in energy, therefore I believe in ghosts. Jamal, you are so funny. I would have left first thing in the morning, just like you :) Thanks for your great reaction :) One year ago, my parents suddenly died due to their years of illness and Covid Pneumonia. They passed on the same day, only one hour apart, and at different hospitals. The shock was indescribable. I got the same Covid pneumonia and I barely survived myself. I returned from the hospital to an empty house. I was so sure that at least one of them would certainly give me a sign from the beyond. But when nothing happened, my disappointment was so overwhelming that I became angry with them. To this day, there has been nothing but silence. They left and are gone. I can understand the mother`s tears of joy when she saw the inscription on the table.
Hey may god bless you. Sometimes perhaps they don't have the power. Whatever the case may God bless you and I hope things go as well as they possibly can from here.
@@Tom_McMurtry Awe, Tom... What a beautiful reply. Thank you so very much. May God bless you too, wherever life may lead you. Sending love from Slovenia :)
My grandma was in tune with the supernatural. When we stayed at her home years ago, for a reunion, my cousin told grandma that she saw a figure come into the room a couple nights in a row and try to get something out of the hope chest at the foot of the bed she had my cousin and I sleep in. Grandma said that's my sister. She's passed..... don't worry she's looking for her favorite stockings. She won't hurt you. My cousin Elaine said she was so scared so I went to grandma and told her that Elaine was afraid. Grandma said "well you're not scared are you?" I said no. I was five lol. Grandma told me when her sister came in the bedroom again for me to sit up and say these words "What in the name of the Lord do you want?" Same thing but Elaine was to scared to sleep. When grandma's sister came into the room, I did as she told me to do. No one ever saw her spirit again.
I have to admit it's a strange situation but my grandma definitely knew what was going on beyond the outer realm she wants diagnosed my father with an abscess in his spleen when there were no doctors back in the 40s to take care of him and she drained the abscess herself and saved his life. She knew exactly what was going on with my daddy because he had fallen on a stump and had an abscess on his spleen while playing baseball these things are real and they're not demons or familiar spirits which I understand and know about there are some people that just know things.
I've experienced and see things all the time, since I was little. Recently, some (I'll say ghost) was bothering me. I told it that I'll be dead too, one day, and I'm going to find him and yada yada. He said, ok! I haven't heard or seen from him since.
That was completely enthralling. I can’t process it yet. I can relate to the fear. But the ghost factor, no. And since my parents just passed away…… nope, can’t process it yet. ❤️ (~);-} ❤️
@@cindysullivan5297 I don’t mean to disrespect you in anyway but that’s “your” Bible, not mine. My thinking & beliefs are not constrained by the writing within. However I do appreciate your beliefs and have often in the past 2 years, since my parents got ill and passed, been envious of those who truly & strongly feel them. I think a lot about how much easier a concept death is for y’all. Praise all
@@Kati626 I'll pray for you. It's a wonderful thing to fall in love with the LORD! I hope you will look into Christianity and GOD'S Word. You won't be disappointed.
I was locked in my bathroom by a spirit. But I know it was my fault that that happened. But the worst thing is the feeling of being STARED at when you know you're the only one in the room!
This is the first My Ballin story i heard, same thing happen to me , as a youth I am free from the entity. I can help Mr Ballin if he's still plagued by this spirit. Give it no FEAR ,and your partly good.
As an NDEr myself I absolutely understand his experience, what he needs to understand is that was his fear what created this dark figure in his vision. Nick’s mom had no fear towards her husband entity but only love in knowing that he was with them so her experiences were a total different on When we see things with love we’re attracting the goodness of the moment and the light of God let as see the real truth When we look at things with fear we’re attracting darkness and that will distort our vision into reality and create our own reality in our thoughts ego and intellect All thoughts are all lies all the time about everything because they are controlled by fear and our intellect starts to create scenarios in our very primitive brain that is used to analyze all things and can only show a distortion of human fear Let go of all fear my friend, fear is of Satan and is not real. Fear is nothing more than an illusion that creates emotions and make you believe is real, there’s no truth in fear because it doesn’t exist Love is God and in God there’s only peace and joy, let go of all ego and intellect and fear will disappear and the only thing left is the real you. You’re not your body!, we’re souls spirits created in the image of God having a human experience to advanced into getting closer into the source of all things the we call God Be Love my friends and you will be blessed This is not coming from a religious person that I’m not nor will ever be, this is coming from a life long atheist that had an NDE and saw that there’s a God and there’s a Jesus that loves as all unconditionally and someday will meet again when our job here is done and we’ll get to go back home with our father So let go and let God and your life will be amazing I wish you all well on your path and let the love and peace and joy of our creator cascade over you all Be love and you’ll be blessed
Yes, but he wasn’t afraid until he saw the entity the first night. I guess the dad being there(bc I think he might have been) opened up a portal for something else to come through?
Jamel_aka_Jamal Your reaction made it even more scary! You made me more scared than I would have been just listening to him recount the incidents. A great story and he told it really well and really vividly! Love it!! 😮😯😲
As a child (living in a violent abusive home), there was someone that I couldn't see, that would sit on the foot of my bed. Once whoever it was sat down, I would relax and was able to fall asleep. I Believe this story and I believe it really was Nick's Dad. Just making sure everything was all right.
Most people do not talk about this so it was very brave of him to tell because people will think that you are doelallie, so good on him, greetings from Benjamin from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
When I was growing up I had a hard time sleeping at night, I had to have a night light on but it still didn’t help or keep me from hearing things in the house. When I went to bed I would have my head completely covered , leaving just a peep hole so I could breathe! It would be towards morning before I could ever get to sleep! If I wasn’t hearing things then I was seeing them!
I'm 51 now, but all of my life I have been VIOLENTLY scared of any darkness... I've seen things, from an early age, that my father and family were involved in, and it ruined me in the dark... whatever you may or may not believe, does not change what some of us have experienced....I envy those who have the ability to be skeptical..
I was raised as skeptical of paranormal things because both my parents were from a village in the countryside, a poor and uneducated place where unscrupulous cons take advantage of those superstitious enough, that meant all ghosts stories my parents told me, always had a rational ending So, it's ironic then that my dad used to "penar en vida" which is (roughly) to haunt while still living, many times my brothers, my mom and I, heard dad entering the house, walking into the living room and leaving his glasses over a piece of furniture but in reality he hasn't arrived yet or was still at work One time, my sister in law and I heard my dad stopping at the door of my bedroom and then clearing his throat, we wondered why he didn't enter or knock so we opened the door but no one was there, once again, my dad wasn't even in the house Many other people visiting us, which have no idea about this ocurrence, heard him as well My dad never believed us 🤷♂🤷♀
@@billybob-vy4sw I don't watch paranormal shows or movies, I found them so cringy Penar en vida was how my mother calls it, maybe there are logical explanations like in my parents stories Someone once told me it wasn't my dad making the sounds, it was us When you fear someone you hear him/her at any moment or in any sound because you want to be prepared to hide. When you love someone you hear him because you want to run to welcome him. I guess is an explanation as good as any other I also considered group hysteria but it doesn't explain how other people heard him too, I wish I could have find what it was but it was a child, fifty years ago in south América so, I had no idea how to seek help or how to afford it
That "go to sleep after me" part was me as a kid. I would have nightmares every night. Then in sixth grade I started to have sleep paralysis aswell. I didn't not enjoy sleep until I was like 14.
I feel for Mr Ballen and that intense fear. Going in a different direction, when I was little, after some times of being abused, not every time though, I'd be in my bedroom alone, crying silently, because I knew if my mom heard me it would be worse, this lady would appear in my room, she wore like an 1800s dress, had beautiful light brown hair and blue eyes, and always looked at me with sadness and reassurance at the same time. Sometimes she sat on my bed until I fell asleep. I believe in ghosts. Some I've seen are ok, others are bad. People may think I'm crazy, it's ok, I may be lol, but I've captured some pics of some of them in this apt I live in now, I have proof. They're very bad ones, evil. I'm sorry for anyone who experiences the dark ones
All my grandparents passed away before I was 20 years old. My children never met them. They only saw photos. One night, while my second child was sleeping in her cot, I woke up and swear I saw a figure looking over her. When it ‘sensed’ me looking over in the direction of her cot, it turned to look at me. To this day I believe it was all my grandparents watching over my child while she slept. Not to hurt her, just to see what she looked like and to let me know that they loved her. The next night, same thing, but they were looking at my eldest daughter and then looked back at me and it was as if the figure smiled. It never happened again. I wasn’t frightened. If anything I was happy that they made the effort to ‘show’ themselves and let me know they were watching over us. As for John, as a 16year old, that’s the last thing you want to be trying to process. I truly hope he’s settled his mind about the encounter.
My second experience of seeing a ghost? Was at my ex WIFE'S mum's tungi funeral we were all asleep in the meeting house (marae) and just before it got light i woke up and an old Maori man in an old suit walked in tapped his walking stick on the wall three times turned on the light and walked out. I thought it must be time to start getting breakfast ready in the food hall a separate building so i got up went to the kitchen and nobody was there i went back out side and the lights were turned off at the sleeping house so i just started cleaning the toilet block a little bit confused about what had happened. The next day back at the family home i asked my wife's Aunty kahu who the old man was the morning before and she said nobody fit's my description at the funeral (tungi) we sat there talking and she got up and went to her room about ten minutes later she came out to me with a Framed old black and white photo of my wife's Great great grandfather it was the same Man I'd seen the morning before NOT SCARY AUNTY SAID HE WAS WELCOMING ME TO THE WHANAU (FAMILY) and i found out later that man was the half brother of my great great grandfather we are from the same tribe I'm white as snow apart from all the punkrock green and red ink all over me my ex wife is very dark skinned Maori we had no idea of our connection until a little while later though our whakapapa (family tree) when we found out i started making banjo sounds and saying squeal like a piggy boy and got the look of death from Aunty you don't make fun of our ancestry boy!!! I was 36 year's old hadn't been called boy for decades and knew to shut my mouth or it wasn't looking good for me aunty was a very strict lady with almost no sense of humour if you tripped over or banged your head on something she would laugh her head off pain was funny for her as long as it wasn't her in pain
My only problem with the whole story is why did he not wake up one of the other friends as soon as he heard the steps on the wrap around porch., especially the second or third time.
Jamel you are so cute And so super funny watching these😆 I’m basically home bound and usually alone and I’m so grateful for people like you it makes me feel like I have company 💜 🙏 thank you 🙏
Funny story. This took place many years ago. My uncle was walking home after a nights drinking in Ireland. He was making slow progress and decided to cut across a field. It was extremely dark but light enough that he tell where he was going. As he walked he could hear heavy breathing and steps with the sound of chains. He would stop and the sound would stop, he would start walking and the sounds would start again. He eventually made it to the other side of the field and continued his way home. It turned out the next morning he passed the field and what he saw made him laugh and cry at the same time. He was followed by a bull with a chain in it's nose. Relief.

LOL I wasn't expecting this comment, thanks for the high price comment. It took the hibbie jibbies out of my mind from that spooky story. Though I did enjoy listening to Mr. Ballen tell it, he always has great stories.
At the age of fifteen my father died. He was an evil man, I was NOT missing him. About two weeks after his death a friend was staying over and the next morning we were going trout fishing. About 12 midnight I told my buddy we should go to sleep because his dad was picking us up early to go fishing. I reached over and turned off the light. Immediately I saw my father standing in the door way half inside and facing us. I quickly turned the light back on. I asked my buddy " did you see anything?" I SPECIFICALLY DIDN'T tell him what I saw. Donnie Immediately said " yea, I saw your dad" This was over sixty years ago and I remember it like yesterday
I hate to tell you there is no such thing as ghost it's either a demon or an angel
@@allismama Christ said " A spirit hath not flesh and blood as you see me have" . A direct admission by CHRIST HIMSELF to the existence of " spirits". You are only regurgitating an UNPROVEN idea not backed by scripture. Spirits, if you do your homework, DO exist and they are separate from demons or Angels which ARE NOT SPIRIT.
@heaven bound.Jad that’s happen to me. I and 2 friends had seance in a dark room and saw a double jointed witch looking spirit with long hair dressed in rags dancing in a mirror. I repented but the image bothered me from then on. Never again. We each described part of the image to each other to verify what we each saw. Another time I thought I was awake seeing something but I woke up and realized I was dreaming and that it’s that it was sleep paralysis. Bit the i age in the mirror was t because we were standing up. They say that is mass hysteria and a scientific explanation though through tricks of the mind but Idk. I just don’t allow such in my life anymore.
@@tankster5826 yes, the world denies Satan and his demons. Seances are of the devil. About fifty years ago, me and five others were confronted by a demon as a result of STUPIDLY playing with a Ouji board.
@heaven bound. Yep and every few years they sometimes return to try to retest a person. I found out mere words of rebuke don’t work either. Faith has to be live out in front of them to show we mean business and are not intimidated. SIns have to be repented of etc. so as to leave no spiritual doors open. Then it was like they influenced my husband and I had to throw him out for a while until he repented of bad behaviors. But if stand firm in faith and live right they flee. They can’t stand a morally upright person and flee in fear.
They need to smudge, or bless that house. Our (my husband and I) rental house had an entity and we didn't talk about it to each other until 4-6 months in. I was in the shower while my husband went to grocery store. I got out of shower and heard something LOUD fall to the floor in the next room. I thought it was my husband who probably dropped something, but he hadn't come home yet. I walked through the house and nothing was out of place. When my husband got home, I talked with him and he acknowledged he had been feeling something too. He didn't mention it to me cause he didn't want to worry or scare me. I am Native American and I sent a message out to my people requesting help to "smudge" this place. After they came and blessed this place, all has been peaceful.
To those who aren’t Native American, what exactly is Smudging? Like is it the same thing as Blessing a house with like Sage and Holy Water?
@@ChristopherMueller-qm9us To Smudge is to cleanse a person or place with smoke from burning sage or sweetgrass. Our home situation needed a whole house blessing. A small group of Medicine Circle sisters used candles and bells and prayers through our house.
Back in the mid-90's my wife's best friend passed away unexpectedly. Needless to say, my wife was extremely upset. Two days AFTER she had passed away my wife receives a phone call from her assuring she was ok and no longer in any pain. My wife freaked out and slammed the phone down because she immediately thought someone was playing a sick joke on her. She quickly realized it was indeed her dear friend's voice but she was trying to process what just happened. In December '99 we were sitting on opposite ends of our couch when all of a sudden I felt this extremely cold mass brush against my forearm and cheek which startled me to say the least. My wife noticed and asked what was the matter. This mass had a distinct shape(although you couldn't see it) since as soon as it passed by me the room temperature returned to normal. At that point it was heading in my wife's location and I couldn't fully get the words out to tell her what had happened. Within a second or two my wife gasped and burst into tears because (in her words) she felt intense love pass through her body. It was one of those in-your-face paranormal events which you can't deny there's more going on than just our physical world. Everyone in my family has had paranormal experiences so nobody will be able to convince us otherwise.
As someone who had her first paranormal encounter at 10 years old and has had several encounters since as an adult, I totally understand his fear. They say that life is energy, and that energy never dies so I don't doubt his story at all. Some of us are sensitive to the restless spirits and they seek us out. None of my experiences were in anyway frightful just unnerving.
Thank goodness you haven't encountered anything nasty!
If I could use my third eye, it would probably be just as blind as my other two. I wouldn’t know what I had seen anyways. 👀
@Jason Knight there is only angels or demons ni fairies or ghost
I've heard this story a few times at this point. When he says he's starting to get chills, you know it's intense; if Mr. Ballen is scared, you should be scared.
It looked like he wanted to stop a few times.
For sure!
Yeah, because John isn't afraid if much!
Why? is he supposed to be some bad ass and if he's scared you should be? pffftt.
well is the whole he was a navy seal thing@@anthonyz5671
When I heard him tell this story on his podcast my heart sank! I am in my fifties and when I was about 5 or 6 I had experienced something like this. My bedroom door was always left open and for awhile every night I would see a silhouette of a tall grey men just very slowly walk into my room and just fall into my bed. It was always one right after the other. I called them dust men because it looked like dust that formed a shape of tall men. I would sit and just watch this happen. I remember not being too afraid but yet I would never get out of bed. I told my parents this and they just thought I was dreaming. If it didn't happen for so many nights I would of agreed. After awhile it stopped and I never have seen these dust men again. But the falling into my bed and disappearing is what stuck me with Mr. Ballon story.
That sounds quite scary to reflect upon. Did they stop with any particularly new and good happening? Or just with age?
@@Tom_McMurtry , I honestly don't remember. I think it just stop with age. But it's funny even after 50 plus years I can still remember how they looked and how they walked in slow motion over to my bed and disappeared as they fell into it.
@Dana. SOMETIMES kids dream with their eyes open when they are small and they are real tired. I saw a movie with camels and outside my window that night I thought I saw Arabs on camels going by like your dust men.
I'm 55, and about 10 yrs ago I saw a shadow person at work. Since then about once a year I witness something odd. 2 months ago a digital thermometer just flew of the desk I was at and onto the floor. 2 years ago my stepdaughter got out of the passenger side door and left it open to get something out of the trunk while I was dropping off at her apartment when the door just closed on its own as if someone pushed it closed. Spirits are everywhere, just sometimes we see them or evidence of them.
We lived in a house that was built before the civil war when I was 12. The house is now on the Historical list in that town. I saw fire that wasn't there and my sis saw a dark figure pacing back and forth in the living room. It's funny because we never discussed it until we were adults and were talking about the times when we lived there. I was floored.
Add on since YT won’t let me update my posted comments when I use my iPad:
Your reaction to going to get your kid from seeing ghosts…. That’s really sweet and I applaud you.
I went through literal years of horrible things happening to me and not just the odd sight or sound that could be passed off as dream or normal overactive imagination. Huge noises, wrooonggg noises, objects moving, all sorts of stuff and told my mother (and through her my stepfather) about this for YEARS over and over and not once did they ever even come to spend time checking out my room.
Finally when I was about 16-17 my mom got flippant with me and told me “next time it happens tell them to come do it to me” and I did.
Next evening she thinks she and my stepdad are alone in the kitchen after work and I walk through the den that’s on the edge of the room and hear them talking, my mom upset, so I admittedly stop to eavesdrop.
Mom is sitting at the kitchen table BAWLING to my stepfather about what happened to her that day and asking if his dead parents or something want us to move out of the house, etc while he reassures and calms her.
After that she took me partially seriously. By the time a month went by she had decided that “sure, some odd things happen but I think it’s mostly your imagination” and I spent another 2 years in that house with that almost daily and crying to her about it every so often while she dismissed it as imagination.
Ever call a parent of mine over, “I’m at X place and I’m scared seeing ghosts” and thinking they’d come get me even if it was nearby, let alone way out at a skiing trip?
No way in hell. She experienced it one day and wanted to move of what I dealt with for years and not once did they even directly address it like it was a real problem for me and even come to check out my room.
Again, kudos for you for being a parent who would be going to get their kid. Even if a kid was imagining it, if it was so bad they called home from a special trip to be picked up that’s reason enough to go get them.
I believe we are all connected, in life & after death. What you experienced is because you were actually more open to seeing those to whom we are connected. Many times the departed have unfinished business, they want to warn us of danger, or they just want to let us know that they're around & protecting us but, they have no way to communicate with us. I see & feel the presence of ghosts. Most of them are people known to me but I've seen people who, in life, I've never met. Now, I just ask them what they want (to tell me). Those events are usually followed by dreams or a series of events that answers my question. I've also been to places that are known to be haunted by 'not so nice' spirits & they never show up when I'm there. One such time was in Williamsburg, Va. We were on an evening walking tour, & our guide said for a solid week a spirit appeared in the window of one of the houses. I smiled to myself & thought, not tonight she won't, & she didn't. I've even had the same exact dream as a friend/co-worker of mine (same day, same time, same place, same people). It scared the heck out of my friend when I asked her if she had a dream, the night before, because she realized I had the same one.
i'm so sorry it made you cry and sad/ afraid for so long.. and i pray you are healing and feeling better now...
That lady thought she saw her husband, but demons can masquerade as deceased loved ones. This guy saw what it really was. Scratching "i love you" on the table could have gotten that poor woman to leave the spiritual door open for it. I believe evil spirits coming on people when they're grieving is one reason some remain stuck long after a loss. Anyway, to anyone suffering a loss, please don't be lured into looking for signs and what not. You will see your loved one later. Till then, close the door.
This is exactly what I was thinking while listening to him tell this story.
Ignoring, or pretending like something did not exist, does not close the door, but instead leaves that door quietly open.
I totally believe that it was her husband. I don't believe that all ghosts/spirits are "evil". That's what I hear from religious fanatics who were programmed to believe that.
@@elizabethsullivan7176 When my sister died, the night after we came from the cemetery, I sensed she was in my parents' house where we were. Whether that truly was her or not, I didn't know, but I prayed for her to go to God. I sensed the presence leave and within a few moments, I felt something evil come in. It was after my mom, who obviously was grieving even harder than I was. She was asleep. I woke her up and told her we had to pray, and we did until it left. I was not religious as the time, but I had sense enough to know to call on Jesus. I became a Christian years later, and now believe the first spirit was not my sister, but an impersonating sprit who got angry when I called on the Lord and tried to bypass me to get to my mother. There is no reason for a dark spirit to just happen to show up at the same time and place as a deceased loved one who is there to "comfort" you. But believe as you will.
This sounds so much like the experiences I had at my sister-in-law's cottage, but with the entity shuffling from the kitchen into our sleeping area and sitting down on the end of my bed. From day one, I could never ever ever sleep there - not even in the car - and stopped going altogether after year two. Other visitors also had unusual experiences, like not being able to open a door and then having no problem opening the door, or coming back from an afternoon on the lake to find your bed looking like it was slept in, and the constant feeling that there were "others" with you.
I was outside in the garage talking with my husband, we were at my parent's house. My dad had recently had back surgery, so he was resting in the bed at mid-afternoon. I heard these heavy footsteps come into the kitchen. The house was peer and beam foundation, so the footstep had a funny kind of hollow sound, as if the floor didn't have a well-built foundation. I heard the kitchen utensil drawer open, and the sound of spoons and forks being rattled around. I told my husband. Dad is up, I better go fix him something to eat. I came inside, expecting to see him standing near the cabinet drawer, no one was there!. I hadn't delayed entering the house, because like I said, dad had recently had surgery on his back. No one was there! I went down our long hallway to my parent's bedroom. Dad was asleep in his bed. He was in no shape to move very fast. So I knew it hadn't been him I heard. I knew what I heard. I wasn't afraid. I am a believer in my Lord Jesus Christ, so I knew I was safe.
Amazing this actually happened to him, no wonder he's such a good story teller, he's been there, felt fear of the unknown before
I grew up in a house that had spiritual activity all the time. Multiple times daily. The first one I remember is when I was 5. We were sitting in the breakfast nook eating breakfast. The cupboard flew open, and a jar of pickles flew across and hit the opposite wall. I asked my mother what it was and she simply said "nothing to be scared of, it's just our ghosts" They were everywhere, but not mean or scary.
When I was about 7 years old I use to see (or thought I saw) the dark shadows and silhouettes of two small people dancing on my bedroom floor around 2 or 3am in the morning.
when I was smaller i thought I could see small particles of air sort of like dust move in waves throughout the room. Except it was night so there was no light. but it was just a rythmic wave and dance. Like a lot of birds like starlings in a flock
@@Tom_McMurtry I had the same experience at night sometimes when I was very young, and I didn't know anyone else had it. The little spots of light that I saw were bright pink or electric blue and they would swirl and then disappear after a few seconds. I think there might have been a sound when it happened too.
You have to give credit to Mr. Ballen for telling this story because he was petrified just telling it and he didn't have to tell it. But on the basis of what he talks about in his channel he decided to. He is so good at this. I myself have been involved in shadow people ( or ghosts). One was gray and one was black. But that's for another time. Luv ya
1980s, staying with friends at their cottage in Ormskirk, England (near Liverpool). A couple hours after I’d gone to bed kind of late, I was awakened by heavy footsteps in the hallway outside my door. Thump . . . Thump . . . Thump . . . Thump (you get the idea) they’d walk all the way to the end of the hall, pause, then walk back the other way. At the other end of the hallway, the footsteps would pause. Then the toilet in the tiny little bathroom there would flush. Quiet, quiet, quiet. Then the heavy footsteps would start all over again slowly walking down the hallway, pause at the end, turn and come back. Pause, toilet flush, pause again. Then start doing it over and over for hours. The next morning, I asked my friend if everything were alright, because I’d heard him up pacing all night and using the toilet. He smiled and said all was fine - and asked if I’d heard the ghost. He said they hear it nearly every night and don’t really pay much attention to it anymore. A farmer who owned the cottage in the early 1800s had hung himself where we were having breakfast and they figured he was the one pacing back and forth all night. He said they’d never gotten up enough nerve, however, to go out into the hallway to use that little bathroom during the night. Hahaha. True story. I was happy to leave later that day.
Thank you for doing this one, Jamel! Yes, I think most people have seen something they can't explain in their lives. I had one in my house and it led me into paranormal investigations. There're definitely things that happen out there that cannot be explained. Searched for years for answers and kept coming back to the same conclusion. At the same time, there are also many things that can be explained when answers are really searched out. It's the ones that cannot be debunked that kept me looking until I finally stopped and decided that it is what it is.
I am so glad you finally did this one. Love your reactions.
I live in Ireland. My aunt moved too a house in the country. She and her husband went out this night years ago. They had several kids so had her brother babysit. When they came back, he came running out and said he was never coming back without explanation. Before or after that, one of her kids said he saw a another kid standing upright only he saw no legs and the kids lips were stitched together like a dead person. Where would a six year old know that to make up a story like that. There are more such stories but I don't have the time.
Kevin O'Riordan..., YIKES, how scary, my arm hairs r standing. That poor little boy, now that's a haunt. Well Kevin this is why Mr.Ballen tells story like this and you never know I would listen to ur Podcast too. You never know. Have a good day Maria from NY :)
@@marinatedbeef1683 Well Marinated Beef, I thank you. I don't have a Podcast but nice of you to say. Have a good day yourself Maria.
My ghost story happened in broad daylight in my own home. At the time I didn't know what it could be but a few years later I learned that an ex of mine had passed away and he had been recently deceased when this incident happened in my home so I knew (because of the circumstances of the event -- too detailed to go into here) that it was him and actually I thought it was pretty cool. I was not scared at all. Just in awe. He has not visited me since but the roses he brought during the event and their aroma that heavily permeated the room were lovely.
I grew up in a haunted house. My parents bought it when I was 14. They lived there for 30 yrs before they sold it. Lived there for the next 20 years off and on til I got my own house. Hated being there alone. When they were getting ready to sell it, I helped by painting the house for them. I was in their room with the door halfway closed painting the trim around the door. I hear the front door open and can hear talking go into the middle room. I thought it was my sister showing the house cuz she's a real estate agent. I walk in there to talk to her and I can hear talking til I turned to go in that room and it stops and there's nobody there. I got chills and then went to the front door and it was locked. That door made a certain sound when it was opened. I then remember that I came in the house through the garage. When I was leaving I went to go clean the brushes off outside by the room. We had taken the blinds out to replace them and I looked in the window and see someone staring at me. I thought maybe someone was behind me. I looked behind me and there's the fence 2 ft away. I looked back in the window and see the guy still. Then he fades away. That's just one of many stories that I have of that house. Was so glad they sold it.
What surprises me is that people dismiss these experiences. Sure, a lot of times they can be explained by rational means and you should rule out the probable first. However, there is so much we don't know about life itself, that to dismiss the possibilities of inter-dimensional contacts ( because that's what these are) is to be ignorant to the wonders of our existence. I have experienced both sleep paralysis and visits from passed loved ones and although it can be unnerving at times I just claim it as another life experience. 3am is also the time these things tend to happen, as if there's a 'window of opportunity' for the crossover from their world to ours. It's all part of life's great mystery!. Oh!, btw, I usually put the light on for a couple of nights after an experience so that I don't dwell on it. It helps, lol. Great vid Jamel. peace and sleep well!!😊
Why is 3 am the time these happen. I have had 3 experiences and all around 2 and 3 in the morning.
That's when spirits are most active. 3 AM.
@@kellybee1935 I'm not sure Kelly Bee, but I too have had this happen. Knocks on the front door...and no one there! Always at 2.30am to 3am. I did hear or read about the 3am significance many moons ago, but my memory being what it is, the reason for it escapes me. They might have only been theorising anyway. It's interesting though! 😊
The only thing that still haunts me is my ex mother-in-law as she passes through my workplace often (unfortunately) 😱😱😱
When we came home from my Father's funeral, he visited everyone that attended his funeral. Everyone called us to say they smelled my Father's pipe tobacco. He blew the smoke into my middle Sister's face. His Great Aunt smelled his tobacco all over her apartment & said to him, "Bernie, you know the rules, you have to smoke on the balcony" & she went to her sliding glass door, opened it, & the smoke was sucked out onto the balcony.
Dee Dee, I don't think that was a haunt. Just telling u I'm fine really. When my mom passed her scent was everywhere and i wasn't frighten at all. I felt the Peace & Love. Dee Dee sorry for your Loss. Peace maria :)
Well, Mr. Ballen's story is sort of close to one of mine. But mine made me smile. Back in the day when my husband would go to the bedroom right off the den I would be in. He would be watching something on TV, I didn't care about so I would be in the den. It seemed every couple of days that was were he would be. He would knock on the wall 3 times (always 3 times) while he was in bed. I would roll my eyes and go see what he wanted. It was usually tea or a beer. I would complain while I was going to get it. I was pretty close to perfect but he was a stinker. LOL He passed away 10 1/2 years ago. About 2 years after, I was sitting in the den watching something on tv and alone in the house. I heard those three knocks from that bedroom. Just the 3 knocks only, exactly the way he did it. I had the biggest smile on my face knowing for sure that was him letting me know he was fine. Only heard it one more time. There are a few other things that didn't have anything to do with him. But I prefer to keep that in mind and not the few others.
Your mind always tries to find a reasonable explanation when strange things happen to you. My family and I experienced paranormal happenings in a rental home and for the first 2 or 3 months we each explained it off in our minds until we each found out we were ALL experiencing it and not telling each other. My 15 year old son, at the time and I heard a man say in a slow clear deep voice, "I feel so sick." At the word Feel my son and I made eye contact and held eye contact until the last word spoken. We were both in shock but did manage to ask , " Did you hear that??? " Of course we both did. My husband and my other son, who was 13 at the time, were both upstairs with their bedroom doors closed and asleep not to mention neither one of them talk in their sleep and it was ABSOLUTELY 100% NOT their voice. My husband woke up the next day vomiting most of the day missing work which he hardly ever did. We got out of There as soon as we found another place. We were there a total of 8 months. This happened 14 yrs ago. Haven't experienced anything like that ever again thank goodness.
I had my first paranormal experience at 3 years old. I had more at 4, 5 and 6. Then at 10 etc. Absolutely terrifying. I can count on one hand how many people I've told what happened. This stuff is real. I'm still haunted by those experiences and the ones I've had as an adult.
I walked into my bedroom one night, saw a little boy sitting in my laundry basket. He looked at me then disappeared. Had other things like that happen at odd times. The dead don’t scare me, it’s the living that scare me
Living people are definitely scarier.
Another of those “still HUNTS me” videos (instead of HAUNTS me) 😆😆😆. We’ve heard him tell many stories from the outside looking in, but this one, was him telling it from the “inside looking out” & that’s what makes it all the more compelling 🤭🤚
This is true, although it sounds made-up. 20 years ago a friend of mine bought a house, she said she believed there might be a ghost in the house, and one day she told me she had seen a little girl that morning sitting at a desk in her office, looking at her. None of this bothered her much, but there was one bedroom she wouldn’t go in. She just said “No. There’s something in there.” She had it stacked with boxes and things, like a messy attic. I told her she was wasting a bedroom and that I’d clean it out and sleep there that night to show her it was ok. I wasn’t sure myself, because I’d seen and heard strange things in that house and garage. I cleaned out and cleaned the room that day, and when it was time for bed, speaking out loud, I thanked whoever had been watching things in the room and keeping it safe, told them how much we appreciated what they’d done, but that they could go on now because we had it covered for now on. This is the unbelievable part, but it happened: the bed was centered on one wall; a light the size of a ping pong ball appeared just above the pillow in the middle of the headboard, rose to the ceiling against the wall, where another light appeared next to it, and the two lights moved to the corner of the ceiling and the walls, and disappeared. She never had trouble with that room again, and these years later uses it as her bedroom. I’ve never seen anything like it before or since, I’ll never forget it, and I swear it’s true.
wow, that's so beautiful.. thank you for sharing...❤
John's not joking! I understand exactly where he's coming from! I've had three of them in my lifetime. One when I was 5, one when I was 8 and a series of them in my 30's. The one in my 30's was my middle son more than me. It was what he was seeing that disturbed me. I just can't talk about it quite yet. As it is very disturbing. And went on from the day we moved into this particular house till the day we moved out. Wh when we moved it stopped, so it was related to this particular house and property. I was glad when we moved, especially for my middle child. It was like these apparitions were sucking the life out of, at that time, my youngest child! It was terrifying!

There is something about being in a cabin I swear, when I was a kid my next door neighbors would take me to a small amusement park where you could also rent out cabins in PA and I’d have the weirdest/most vivid dreams except they didn’t feel like dreams it felt real and it was never pleasant but I also didn’t experience anything ghost like but more of a sense of dread and loneliness but I was outside of the cabin so I had to be dreaming. Oddly when I got into my teens they stopped happening when going, personally I don’t believe in the paranormal however I do think the woods tend to bring out an innate brain function that’s been lost to time mostly and humans not having to survive like centuries ago
1977 living in CT …my Grandmother (my mom’s mom) passes away…fast forward to
1983 we move to Florida….I’m watching tv in the family room….I feel eyes on me
I turn from the tv & look in the direction of where I feel those eyes on me & there standing in the doorway of my parents bedroom is my Grandmother and she’s looking right at me …we make eye contact…she gives me a slight nod and she’s gone ….
True story & the one and only time it happened 🙏❤️ you Grandma
whoooaf!!! this is freakin terrifying!!! My kids and myself have had a few paranormal experiences. It really feels crazy to even say this but all true. I had to learn how to smudge and Bless my home, space, my kids and myself. it did work and my kids know how to get rid of funky energies now. Gotta claim/command your space. There are also those experiences that are Loving and caring. you'll definitely know the difference.
I believe him. I've had paranormal experiences of my own. Once you've seen one with your own eyes, you are a believer.
I've only had two paranormal activity things happen but one was in broad daylight and we were told about the ghost prior to our arrival. I grew up in Concord MA and a friend of mine had a sister renting a portion of a huge home. The home had been investigated by a medium back in the early 1970's and the medium said the ghost was friendly but liked adolescent girls. We found out that after we went to the house and I was 15ish and my other to girl friends were about the same age. While we were there the first thing that happened was a tv , remember this was the 70's when tv's weighed quite a bit, fell off a solid chest. Then I was holding a six pack container when they used to be packed in plastic rings, not in a cardboard box. Not just one but one by one the soda cans fell out from the secure plastic rings onto the floor. Then doors just opened and closed and it got cold. Then it just stopped and the girl who lived there explained the entire story and said maybe you should go to us. I thought it was funny, others did not.
The next one was in my own house when my dog passed away that was my shadow. It was a cocker spaniel that was like my kid though I was 17 at the time. She passed and one night I heard scratching on the front door so I went there and I did not see anything but I looked down and my dog just walked in. My dog passed away in my front yard. I think it just wanted to come in though I felt her presence all the time. I would feel weight on my bed that I slept alone in, I found it comforting.
I lost one of my little brothers when I was 8 yo. One night, right after he died, I woke up in the middle of the night in my bedroom because I felt someone tickling my feet. There was no one there. I got up and went into the living room and slept on the couch. The next morning my parents came out of their room and asked me why I was sleeping on the couch. I said because someone was tickling my feet. My mother told me that same night she woke up in the middle of the night and saw my brother standing in her bedroom. She wasn’t afraid and said it was a very calm feeling and that he smiled at her. Like he was letting her know he was alright. I can’t explain this, but I’m now 40 yo and still remember that night and it wasn’t a dream. I have never been visited since and to this day, no matter how hot I get, ever let my feet out from underneath the covers. 🙏🏻

💖🙏 Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too. You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.
Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being.
Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor and gave him the name above all other names, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue declare that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. -Philippians 2:3-11 NLT ☺☺☺

💖🙏 “Teacher,” they said to Jesus, “this woman was caught in the act of adultery. The law of Moses says to stone her. What do you say?”
"Let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone!” Then he stooped down again and wrote in the dust.
When the accusers heard this, they slipped away one by one. Then Jesus stood up again and said to the woman, “Where are your accusers? Didn’t even one of them condemn you?” “No, Lord,” she said. And Jesus said, “Neither do I. Go and sin no more.” -John 8:4-11 NLT ☺☺☺

Yes that was a experience I have to say. I had experience something like that at my grandmothers house every time I see something I turn the light on. My grandmother came in to tell me to turn the light off and I told her there were some people out there and she told me that there was no one there to turn the light off. Are used to like spending the weekend at my grandmothers house but then after that I didn’t stay there anymore. The sad thing for Mr Ballen is that he lost two friends over this.
My mom who was clergy, so unlikely to lie about this, told me about a friend’s house that had an old carpet at the top of the stairs. One day it started to flap a bit, as if a wind was blowing it. Every time someone went up the stairs, they would find the carpet flapping a bit. Finally, the father put a brick on each corner of the carpet. The next time someone came up the stairs, the bricks were piled on top of each other and the carpet was flapping again.
When I was 6 I was in the local video rental place Witt my mom and brothers. We got to pick out a video on Friday nights (usually wrestling videos lol) and somehow I got turned around and separated from everyone. I panic, run around the corner and run heads up into the most NIGHTMARE ish horror movie villain of that era (85-87) Needless to say I let out a scream but nothing came out. It was a life size cardboard cut out advertising the latest movie. As a notorious light sleeper that’s plagued with realistic dreams it’s the perfect storm of phobia. Got a phobia to this day.
Such a terrifying story, and even creepier that it happened at around 3 a.m., the witching hour! 😳
I caught that also. It also could have been a residual haunt.
Believe whatever you wish, but that's when spirits are most active. 3 AM.
I have not experienced any paranormal activity but two instances were told to me , one was my Grandmother who saw my Grandfather who had passed away a short time before, he was standing in the doorway that led to the living room, of their home. My Grandmother was very frightened by the experience. Something similar happened to my mother after my father had died, she had fallen asleep in her armchair and suddenly woke up to find my father sitting opposite her, she said smiling “ Oh you’ve come back” and then he was gone. I have heard that this is quite common after a bereavement.
Interesting that you listened to this and it freaks you out, Jamel. :) I am highly attuned to this stuff and when I was really young, I could see what I would call "entities" all the time. It took awhile for me to understand no one else could see them and then I taught myself to not see them so I could fit in. They didn't scare me when I was really young, I was just aware they were there all around. When I was probably 8 - 10, I was in my brothers' bedroom upstairs where there were two attic doors, one in the wall and one in the ceiling. One of the beds backed up to the door in the wall, blocking it. Now we had been in there because there were really old things like one of those RCA victrola horns and things like that so it was cool for us to go in there. It wasn't a big area, but when you are small it's easy to play in those places. So I was on the bed with my feet near that door (which was latched shut) reading a book when all the sudden the door flew open and started slamming against the bed. I was off that bed like a shot and ran downstairs. After I turned 10, I moved into a bedroom downstairs and everyone else slept upstairs. We lived in the country so it was pitch black at night. One night I woke up to the sound of the strings inside my piano playing, almost like someone plucking at the strings. That time there was no way out without running by the piano. My mom tried to say a mouse must have gotten in there, but I knew that wasn't a mouse. It sounded like someone playing those strings inside the piano like a harp. Later on, in that same room, I woke up to something scratching at the screens on the windows and I could see something out there. The next day, there were tears in the screens where something had scratched at it. These were the old metal screens, not vinyl. After my grandmothers died when I was 11, they used to come to see me in the middle of the night. I would wake up and they would be standing next to the bed. I was so scared, I would run upstairs and sleep on the floor next to my parents. It even happened when I stayed with my cousin and she woke up in the night and stepped on me getting out of bed because I was sleeping on the floor next to their bed because I was afraid. Why I was afraid of my grandmothers I couldn't tell you. They would never hurt me. I guess it just freaked me out to wake up and see them clear as day, standing there next to my bed (they never came together but at different times separately). When one of my aunts died, I woke up out of a sound sleep to her saying, "I'm gone now" and the phone rang. It was my mom saying she had just passed away. After my mother in law died, she came to me one night, floating above me and said, "I'm just hanging around having a good time." (That actually helped me because I had a hard time after she died.) The weirdest one though was when I visited my parents and had to sleep in my brothers' old room. I was just drifting off to sleep when I felt something grab my shoulder and dig in with it's nails. I don't know why I thought it was the cat, but I did. Maybe it felt like cat's claws. Anyway, since I thought it was the cat, I reached over to swat it away and nothing was there. I rolled over to yell at the cat and nothing was there. That one did freak me out. I never stayed in that house over night after that.
Hahahahaha, “it really rakes a lot of anomalies to stack up…”. Maybe it’s just how I was raised to be vigilant about the house AND outside for safety, but my and my family's first reaction to a sound that makes no sense of location is *head up, think about it, turn on light and investigate with the nearest person cautiously*.
I grew up in a very rural area…. You hear your outside porch when no one should be out there or god forbid a wrong sound in your home it’s high-alert moment because no one is even supposed to be fiddling around out there, whereas family and friends living in town we would sometimes - outside porch/stoop - have kids or dogs or something come on it.
In the woods we had two possibilities: wild animal IF it stayed outside, NOT if it came inside, so no problem or HUMAN INVASION because no one should be there…. Or even if someone is dropping by they let you know if it’ll be late and usually call out a ,”hey, I’m here!” so as not to alarm anyone.
We lived in the middle of 30 acres and it was the same scenery as yours, crickets, owls and the noise any of the animals you had. We had a small farm so chickens, dogs horse and cat. I did experience something but not terrifying that time.
@@mala3isity Lol, exactly. You don’t hear what sounds like someone walking up into your house out where no people should even be without announcing themselves and lie in bed thinking, “let’s see what happens next…no one could be here”. It’s “NO ONE SHOULD BE HERE”.
I’m assuming it’s maybe because he grew up in a more populated area where, sure, you hear outside noises all the time… pets and kids maybe on your stairs or deck, etc and a kind of noise-exclusion and/or just plain disbelief of it being in him somewhere because of that?.
I’ve lived plenty of places like that in later years but already and my rural imprinting lol so I can’t really get it. That rural style raising has always had me react the same way wherever I’ve lived.
I mean, even if you grow up in a town or city it just seems so weird to hear an outside door open and just wait without even waking the person next to you. In populated areas it could be a robber or worse, too…. Who knows? Maybe just personality thing…?
But bingo with you on it. Your scared but it’s time to protect your home. Invasion by animal or human, you have to deal with it.
Crazy that my scariest story is from the white mountains in New Hampshire. In an old shut down ski resort?? I think it is the same place!! Ouija board. Toilet flushing on its own. Oracle on the board moving by its self. Crazy long story. Totally a Steven King kinda place.
I’m with ya! If my parent’s wouldn’t come, I’d be walking, or snowboarding, my way home! My big behind is gone!
Watching you watch this is very entertaining. I love the way this guy tells stories. The fact that they are all true makes it even better. Great reaction Jamal!!!!
Between my own experience and those of friends and family I’ve certainly collected a number of stories. My own experiences aren’t quite this intense (things I’ve seen are far more limited than things I’ve heard or otherwise sensed). But I certainly believe.
This is freaking me out had the same experience but I know, it was a demon. I remember every detail, smell and visual detail even though it was 40 years ago. It would be a minute for me to go into detail from start to finish so I won’t
Yep, all of these stories are demon activity.
This was very early in his vids, that's why it's so basic. Also, being an X Navy Seal, I DO NOT BELIEVE HE WOULD LIE! He has Nothing to gain from it. And if he was found to be lying, he would lose a LOT of credibility. Seems pretty credible to me! I trust him for his word.
Pretty sure that's his 1st you tube video.
That was awesome!! Luv all things dark n delicious n that was!! Thank u Mr.J.
I remember this episode. Your reaction matched my own. This guy tells a helluva story.
Whenever something like this has happened to me, I pray. And it all goes away.
How do you pray? May God bless you Kim.
I can hear the sleigh bells,we had them on the front door of our/parent's house..........left them after one Christmas.😮
Be careful not to open the door to the enemy. Spirits always search for a vessel that thinks it’s clean and empty.
It sounds like a residual haunting where it's like a ghost repeats the same exact thing every night it's like a replaying a movie over and over again but it's real 😳
I know he was setting up his frightening tale, but I couldn't help it. Every time he said "sleighbells ring" I thought "are you listening?"
Hes an amazing story teller and yes I can see why he quit hanging around with Nick for He would no want go back to that cabin, I wouldnt, for sure., and if he got mad , too bad, No way would I go back. I myself was in bed and our bed was laying so the door was beside it if you got up and could walk across floor and out, One night I looked at door and there was a dark black outline or shadow person there, seem thin to me and my little dog at end of bet even gave a little bark and lifted head and looked at it , it took off down hall, I woke my husband up and said , someone in the house, he grabbed gun we kept by bed and I stayed behind him we searched house and could find no one, back door was not locked and I keep telling my self it had to be someone but it was just the unatural movement of the shadow that I question. I have never seen it again and hope never do , Im a Christian and dont believe in ghosts but believe demons take on forms to confuse and try to decieve people. , but I do know I saw it, and so did my little dog
Sound like classic sleep paralyses. I mean everyone would wake up his friends, if you hear some stranger at night in your house. The mom made it up so he would be less afraid.
What stood out in this story was the height of the figure. A friend experienced a similar huge figure while camping at joshua tree national park in the middle of the night.
I had an experience when I was about 5 and it scared me so much I had to sleep with a nightlight until I was a junior in high school. I had to have my door open and the shades drawn. I would sneak into my parents bedroom most nights until the sun came up and then sneak back in my bedroom so they wouldn't catch me. My mom tripped over me one night and was so mad. She made me go to my bedroom that night. I wish I could type the whole story. Initially when it happened I put the covers over my head. I was frozen in fear. Then at some point after telling myself you need to get to the door and mom I got enough nerve and ran to the door to get out. The door was stuck and wouldn't open! This thing then spoke a few words to me! It might have been telepathically. When I finally got the door open I remember running to my mom. She thought I was making it up and she made me go right back to bed with the door shut because they had company. I still don't know if it was just a vivid dream or if it actually happened. It scared me my whole childhood and until I was about 19. I didn't tell anyone about it for a very long time because I thought they would think I was nuts. It wasn't until I moved out that house that I felt safe. Crazy thing about this video is I live in NH. I have friends that live in the White Mountains. I have an idea where he is talking about. My experience happened in MA though.
What did it say? May god bless you. Amen.
@@Tom_McMurtry funny you say that. I was too scared to look at what it was once the shade flew up. I had a very small room. The window was behind my head and a little to the left of me but I could see out of it in the mirror. Covers went immediately over my head. Once I got to the door and it was stuck, I got enough courage to turn around to see what it was. Originally, it appeared to me as Jesus floating out of my window. It could be because of my religious upbringing. It morphed into something evil. When it spoke to me. It said "If I ever see you again, you will never see your parents again." This is why I was terrified of the dark etc...
@@ericaa6246 that dkes sound terrifying! Even more so when briefly manifesting as something seemingly positive before turning into clearly evil. Hey. All the best with you.
I have a lot of thoughts and theories on sleep paralysis demons/hags. I have it, and my first experience with the hag (not my first paralysis) she had to walk in my front door, and find me. I've moved twice since that place, and my current place is a two bedroom, and I occasionally switch bedrooms just because I can. Every time I'm in a new place it seems she has to find me, I hear her walking around in the hallway. Then once she finds me, she's there when the paralysis starts.
My first experience was early (for me) internet, I was not frequenting any forums or anything that would influence me in seeing this hag. It wasn't until a year or two later, when I joined the SA forums, and found someone else talking about it that I learned what I had, and that other people saw this hag.
It's too weird that so many people see the same few things during sleep paralysis, and while some may be influenced by what they read these days, arguably, like I said, back then I had no prior knowledge, and then images people had made fit my description exactly.
My first thought was not that he was experiencing SP, but that Nick was, and he was somehow seeing Nick's demon. Nick, just not waking up for the experience.
I've learned to start praying when sleep paralysis happens and I see or feel something. In JESUS name I pray for you 🙏🙏.
I've not seen anything, but I've certainly heard things that couldn't be anything else but the supernatural!!!
I had a very similar experience when I was a teen -- but I'm now 65 years old and that was the only time in my entire life something like that happened to me. I do believe that there are things out there that can't be explained and that anything is possible.
Me too. I’m 58 but I had 2 experiences. One when I was probably 8 and one when I was 16. I have never told of the first experience because no one would believe me.
@@kellybee1935 No one believed me, either. 😮💨
@faithinyou I do believe you.
@@kellybee1935 Thanks 💙
@@kellybee1935 If you tell the first I would believe you. But that's just because reading the comments here and on Mr Ballen videos and watching NDEs of doctor atheists there is too much far beyond what we can explain
Jamel aka Jamal, your facial expressions were EVERYTHING as he talked about the thing haunting him😁
This one was deep and I think that’s the dad altering reality threw nick. It’s almost like bitter sweet. Great story !
I use to watch him but the stories creeped me out so i stoped... I now started watching them again with you, it makes it nice having you with me to watch these so i dont feel alone.. It really helps!! Lol thx!
If I here something in the night, immediately I grab my 9mm & quietly search for an intruder.
No way would I let someone or something just walk through my house, filled with my loved ones, while lying there gripping my blanket!!!
I love Mr. Ballen. I've never heard this one. Thank you for sharing.
LIGHTS WOULD BE A COMIN ON,...I TELL YOU WHAT !!! NO FREGGIN WAY
I do believe in energy, therefore I believe in ghosts.
Jamal, you are so funny. I would have left first thing in the morning, just like you :)
Thanks for your great reaction :)
One year ago, my parents suddenly died due to their years of illness and Covid Pneumonia. They passed on the same day, only one hour apart, and at different hospitals. The shock was indescribable. I got the same Covid pneumonia and I barely survived myself. I returned from the hospital to an empty house.
I was so sure that at least one of them would certainly give me a sign from the beyond.
But when nothing happened, my disappointment was so overwhelming that I became angry with them.
To this day, there has been nothing but silence. They left and are gone.
I can understand the mother`s tears of joy when she saw the inscription on the table.
Hey may god bless you. Sometimes perhaps they don't have the power. Whatever the case may God bless you and I hope things go as well as they possibly can from here.

Awe, Tom... What a beautiful reply.
Thank you so very much.

My grandma was in tune with the supernatural. When we stayed at her home years ago, for a reunion, my cousin told grandma that she saw a figure come into the room a couple nights in a row and try to get something out of the hope chest at the foot of the bed she had my cousin and I sleep in. Grandma said that's my sister. She's passed..... don't worry she's looking for her favorite stockings. She won't hurt you. My cousin Elaine said she was so scared so I went to grandma and told her that Elaine was afraid. Grandma said "well you're not scared are you?" I said no. I was five lol. Grandma told me when her sister came in the bedroom again for me to sit up and say these words "What in the name of the Lord do you want?" Same thing but Elaine was to scared to sleep. When grandma's sister came into the room, I did as she told me to do. No one ever saw her spirit again.
That wasn't a dead person but a demon. The Bible tells us these things.
@@cindysullivan5297 You weren't there. Grandma was. I trust Grandma's judgement.
I have to admit it's a strange situation but my grandma definitely knew what was going on beyond the outer realm she wants diagnosed my father with an abscess in his spleen when there were no doctors back in the 40s to take care of him and she drained the abscess herself and saved his life. She knew exactly what was going on with my daddy because he had fallen on a stump and had an abscess on his spleen while playing baseball these things are real and they're not demons or familiar spirits which I understand and know about there are some people that just know things.
@@moorr4473 how did she drain it. Do you remember?
@@UTAHtheN0bleBirthright- Daddy never told me that part.... maybe too painful.
He is a really great story teller. Been following him for a couple of years.
I've experienced and see things all the time, since I was little. Recently, some (I'll say ghost) was bothering me. I told it that I'll be dead too, one day, and I'm going to find him and yada yada. He said, ok! I haven't heard or seen from him since.
That was completely enthralling. I can’t process it yet.
I can relate to the fear. But the ghost factor, no.
And since my parents just passed away…… nope, can’t process it yet.
❤️ (~);-} ❤️
Ghosts of dead ppl do not exist. It's all demon activity. Go to your Bible for the truth of the matter.
@@cindysullivan5297 I don’t mean to disrespect you in anyway but that’s “your” Bible, not mine. My thinking & beliefs are not constrained by the writing within. However I do appreciate your beliefs and have often in the past 2 years, since my parents got ill and passed, been envious of those who truly & strongly feel them. I think a lot about how much easier a concept death is for y’all. Praise all
@@Kati626 I'll pray for you. It's a wonderful thing to fall in love with the LORD! I hope you will look into Christianity and GOD'S Word. You won't be disappointed.
@@Kati626 also, sorry about your loss. I lost my Mom 3 yrs ago, it was the hardest thing I've ever been through, but the LORD was there to comfort me.
I was locked in my bathroom by a spirit. But I know it was my fault that that happened. But the worst thing is the feeling of being STARED at when you know you're the only one in the room!
This is the first My Ballin story i heard, same thing happen to me , as a youth
I am free from the entity. I can help Mr Ballin if he's still plagued by this spirit. Give it no FEAR ,and your partly good.
How do you get rid of it?
As an NDEr myself I absolutely understand his experience, what he needs to understand is that was his fear what created this dark figure in his vision. Nick’s mom had no fear towards her husband entity but only love in knowing that he was with them so her experiences were a total different on
When we see things with love we’re attracting the goodness of the moment and the light of God let as see the real truth
When we look at things with fear we’re attracting darkness and that will distort our vision into reality and create our own reality in our thoughts ego and intellect
All thoughts are all lies all the time about everything because they are controlled by fear and our intellect starts to create scenarios in our very primitive brain that is used to analyze all things and can only show a distortion of human fear
Let go of all fear my friend, fear is of Satan and is not real. Fear is nothing more than an illusion that creates emotions and make you believe is real, there’s no truth in fear because it doesn’t exist
Love is God and in God there’s only peace and joy, let go of all ego and intellect and fear will disappear and the only thing left is the real you. You’re not your body!, we’re souls spirits created in the image of God having a human experience to advanced into getting closer into the source of all things the we call God
Be Love my friends and you will be blessed
This is not coming from a religious person that I’m not nor will ever be, this is coming from a life long atheist that had an NDE and saw that there’s a God and there’s a Jesus that loves as all unconditionally and someday will meet again when our job here is done and we’ll get to go back home with our father
So let go and let God and your life will be amazing
I wish you all well on your path and let the love and peace and joy of our creator cascade over you all
Be love and you’ll be blessed
Yes, but he wasn’t afraid until he saw the entity the first night. I guess the dad being there(bc I think he might have been) opened up a portal for something else to come through?
@@UTAHtheN0bleBirthright- he said he wasn’t afraid and I understand that, but fear keeps you from seeing the light
Jamel_aka_Jamal Your reaction made it even more scary! You made me more scared than I would have been just listening to him recount the incidents. A great story and he told it really well and really vividly! Love it!! 😮😯😲
How irresponsible of that mother to subject him to this! He was clearly terrified and wasn’t able to process what he experienced. He was a kid!
As a child (living in a violent abusive home), there was someone that I couldn't see, that would sit on the foot of my bed. Once whoever it was sat down, I would relax and was able to fall asleep. I Believe this story and I believe it really was Nick's Dad. Just making sure everything was all right.
thank you for sharing...❤
Huge fan of Mr.ballen, I’ve been watching so many of his videos it’s good to see someone react
Most people do not talk about this so it was very brave of him to tell because people will think that you are doelallie, so good on him, greetings from Benjamin from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
When I was growing up I had a hard time sleeping at night, I had to have a night light on but it still didn’t help or keep me from hearing things in the house. When I went to bed I would have my head completely covered , leaving just a peep hole so I could breathe! It would be towards morning before I could ever get to sleep! If I wasn’t hearing things then I was seeing them!
I'm 51 now, but all of my life I have been VIOLENTLY scared of any darkness... I've seen things, from an early age, that my father and family were involved in, and it ruined me in the dark... whatever you may or may not believe, does not change what some of us have experienced....I envy those who have the ability to be skeptical..
I was raised as skeptical of paranormal things because both my parents were from a village in the countryside, a poor and uneducated place where unscrupulous cons take advantage of those superstitious enough, that meant all ghosts stories my parents told me, always had a rational ending
So, it's ironic then that my dad used to "penar en vida" which is (roughly) to haunt while still living, many times my brothers, my mom and I, heard dad entering the house, walking into the living room and leaving his glasses over a piece of furniture but in reality he hasn't arrived yet or was still at work
One time, my sister in law and I heard my dad stopping at the door of my bedroom and then clearing his throat, we wondered why he didn't enter or knock so we opened the door but no one was there, once again, my dad wasn't even in the house
Many other people visiting us, which have no idea about this ocurrence, heard him as well
My dad never believed us 🤷♂🤷♀
thats interesting - you dont hear about that much(penar en vida). I have seen that in an old late 50s early 60 show called -one step beyond.
@@billybob-vy4sw I don't watch paranormal shows or movies, I found them so cringy
Penar en vida was how my mother calls it, maybe there are logical explanations like in my parents stories
Someone once told me it wasn't my dad making the sounds, it was us
When you fear someone you hear him/her at any moment or in any sound because you want to be prepared to hide. When you love someone you hear him because you want to run to welcome him. I guess is an explanation as good as any other
I also considered group hysteria but it doesn't explain how other people heard him too, I wish I could have find what it was but it was a child, fifty years ago in south América so, I had no idea how to seek help or how to afford it
That "go to sleep after me" part was me as a kid. I would have nightmares every night. Then in sixth grade I started to have sleep paralysis aswell. I didn't not enjoy sleep until I was like 14.
I feel for Mr Ballen and that intense fear. Going in a different direction, when I was little, after some times of being abused, not every time though, I'd be in my bedroom alone, crying silently, because I knew if my mom heard me it would be worse, this lady would appear in my room, she wore like an 1800s dress, had beautiful light brown hair and blue eyes, and always looked at me with sadness and reassurance at the same time. Sometimes she sat on my bed until I fell asleep. I believe in ghosts. Some I've seen are ok, others are bad. People may think I'm crazy, it's ok, I may be lol, but I've captured some pics of some of them in this apt I live in now, I have proof. They're very bad ones, evil. I'm sorry for anyone who experiences the dark ones
All my grandparents passed away before I was 20 years old. My children never met them. They only saw photos. One night, while my second child was sleeping in her cot, I woke up and swear I saw a figure looking over her. When it ‘sensed’ me looking over in the direction of her cot, it turned to look at me. To this day I believe it was all my grandparents watching over my child while she slept. Not to hurt her, just to see what she looked like and to let me know that they loved her. The next night, same thing, but they were looking at my eldest daughter and then looked back at me and it was as if the figure smiled. It never happened again. I wasn’t frightened. If anything I was happy that they made the effort to ‘show’ themselves and let me know they were watching over us.
As for John, as a 16year old, that’s the last thing you want to be trying to process. I truly hope he’s settled his mind about the encounter.
I'd rather it be a ghost than a real person whom you don't know! Awesome story. Thanks for sharing it.
My second experience of seeing a ghost? Was at my ex WIFE'S mum's tungi funeral we were all asleep in the meeting house (marae) and just before it got light i woke up and an old Maori man in an old suit walked in tapped his walking stick on the wall three times turned on the light and walked out. I thought it must be time to start getting breakfast ready in the food hall a separate building so i got up went to the kitchen and nobody was there i went back out side and the lights were turned off at the sleeping house so i just started cleaning the toilet block a little bit confused about what had happened. The next day back at the family home i asked my wife's Aunty kahu who the old man was the morning before and she said nobody fit's my description at the funeral (tungi) we sat there talking and she got up and went to her room about ten minutes later she came out to me with a Framed old black and white photo of my wife's Great great grandfather it was the same Man I'd seen the morning before NOT SCARY AUNTY SAID HE WAS WELCOMING ME TO THE WHANAU (FAMILY) and i found out later that man was the half brother of my great great grandfather we are from the same tribe I'm white as snow apart from all the punkrock green and red ink all over me my ex wife is very dark skinned Maori we had no idea of our connection until a little while later though our whakapapa (family tree) when we found out i started making banjo sounds and saying squeal like a piggy boy and got the look of death from Aunty you don't make fun of our ancestry boy!!! I was 36 year's old hadn't been called boy for decades and knew to shut my mouth or it wasn't looking good for me aunty was a very strict lady with almost no sense of humour if you tripped over or banged your head on something she would laugh her head off pain was funny for her as long as it wasn't her in pain
That is quite the story! I also live in New Zealand. I have yet to an encounter a ghost however to my knowledge. A couple of weird experiences.
12:03 - 🎶"...are you listening? To the song that we're singing...."🎶
As Shakespeare wrote..."There is more things in Heaven and Earth that are dreamt of in your philosophy"...
There are several ghosts and spirits living in my house, it can be annoying at times but you learn to live with them.
My only problem with the whole story is why did he not wake up one of the other friends as soon as he heard the steps on the wrap around porch., especially the second or third time.
I believe him. He is definitely an upstanding man.
