The amount of brainwashing it takes to completely erase someone's survival instinct, and aversion to pain. Some truly horrible things had to have happened in that house in the years prior to the Killing Hour.
The fact that his father was feverishly playing the organ, of all instruments, makes this story even more horrifying. Like it just wouldn’t have the same ring to it if he just laid down a mean clarinet solo
I will admit, this has been the first story to truly horrify me. The fact that these two men even thought that this was an "okay" thing to do is horrific. Not to mention the amount of brainwashing this family endured mostly, if not entirely, because of the father. *The sheer fact that these men got away with this and that these women allowed themselves to be horribly murdered and mutilated is down right disgusting* God sometimes I really hate people, and am terrified of them.
It was definitely weird, but watch long enough and there's definitely worse stories from him. Just when I thought I've seen the worst, he tells one even worse.
There are also some good people out there that just wanna live a humble and peaceful life. 🙂👍♥️🙏😊 But of course there are probably even more evil people then good ones.

Wait...whaaaaat????? Escaped and have never been caught!!!! This has to be the most horrifying story you've told imo, and I've been binge watching for over a week.

They really are some of the worst things humans can do to one another, he just tells the facts, that makes him different from the others. Wishing you well.👍👍
I can’t believe that either, it’s madness, who knows what madness they carried on doing once on the run!?! Would also like to know what happened to Sabine the 3rd sister
@@MrBallen they’ve got to have gone off grid and live somewhere remote.. but how far can two escapees get without money and a mode of transportation. Absolutely insane. Would be interesting to see if they grew a family again and if there are any living relatives!
@@courtneyanne.martin well as I have learnt from watching Mr Ballen videos, there are enough places remote enough that people can go missing for years if not forever..
kcmsmith31 Like Joseph Biden! And Fauci! I'm the Cult of personality! Neon lights! a Nobel Prize! A leader speaks! That leader dies! You don't have to follow me! Only you can set you free!
When I was at university, I did a paper on this family. One of the most horrific things I’ve ever had to read about. John, for such a short video, you did an excellent job telling this story. Cheers.
That's hxc to do a paper on this. Hats off. That's a lot but I can relate in a way, as I did a stint as a low level abnormal psych in training via wilderness therapy. It was wild,beyond...
I kinda asked myself if it goes even further...like under what conditions did the father live under to have turned that evil. The frustrating thing it, if one person treats his child badly it shows up even generations and generations later.
Can't really blame Frank. He has been worshipped all through his life. He was utterly convinced that he is indeed a prophet. Whatever he says is a word of God. He has never faced any NO in life. Not a single person was there to teach him the morals and ethics of society. No wonder he turned out the way he did.
@@hungry6646 No, you cannot say that. What an ignorant thing to comment. Just because you’re related to someone who may have mental illness does not immediately mean you will be mentally ill. Smh.
It never fails to amaze me how in cult like situations women are so "impure" or "flawed" yet that never stops the men from sleeping with them 😐. Idiocy abounds.
I mean sexual drive is the only real addiction that god gave us. The only porpuse of life is to reproduce. So I don't think it is disturbing because they said they are "impure". What I think is way more disturbing is, that they f*cked with their own family.
Yeah that freaked me out too. Just imagine the scene with the organ being played while all this was going on. How would you have liked to have been their neighbors?
Dont worry they both probably dead by now, especially the dad, frank might still be alive, he would be 70 this year... hopefully they stopped the killing of impure women after the asylum escape
Yaaaggghhh, Frank is terrifying. What he did, the look in his eyes, all of it. And the worst part is that he might not have been that way, had he not been taught/raised as he was.
Yeah but why is nobody focusing on the fact that they ESCAPED and haven’t been caught since and no one knows where they are?? What if they created another cult and killed more women?
@@jasonvargas7564 We're probably not focusing on that because it's really kinda too horrible to think about. Personally I'm hoping they either repented or died before they could get hold of anybody else.
They really didn't like that step-bro/step-sis action. I do find it odd Frank didn't have fun with a girl within the cult. His sisters couldn't have been the only girls there. From what it sounds like any girl in that cult would have loved to get stuck in the washing machine for Frank.
The fact that they just sat there is so mind boggling. They were brainwashed so badly that their survival instincts or will to live didn’t even kick in. 😳
That is the same “faith” required for belief in EVERY religion. Do as you’re told, not as your instincts or observation direct you. And all you endure will be rewarded immensely in the future, after you’re dead and can not disprove anything to dismay other believers. Every religion is a cult, and ask you to suspend disbelief and have faith in something or someone, rather than provide any actual answers or empirical evidence. In what other walk of life would we refer to a book written 2000 years ago as fact, as all Abrahamic religions do? Conviction of any ridiculousness or absurdity, allows for all ridiculousness and absurdity. Not lecturing you…Sorry, agreed with your premise…
Religion told them that it was the beginning and not the end so their survival instincts where void. Millions are still being brain washed from a young age to believe this.
I wonder if they were afraid though, or if they were so far gone they felt genuine excitement to be “sent to heaven” literally stripped of free will 🙁 heart breaking.
Frank: *wants to have sexual relations with each of his sisters and his mother* His mother: *wakes up and looks at him* Frank: “That’s disgusting. How dare you look at me in that way”
I'm horrified by this whole thing, but it really bothers me to imagine the father excitedly playing the organ. And then he and his son kept switching places, from playing to killing and cutting, and back again... so the organ would be splattered with blood and gore. Ugh. So disturbing!
Seriously... to even exist in the vicinity while knowing this was happening and making no moves to stop it is absolutely fucked up. But to just be giving it some kind of soundtrack at the same time, on an organ (which is strongly associated with religion) no less... is truly the stuff of nightmares.
Another interesting story, Mr. Ballen & crew. In case any viewer does not know: The things these people featured in this film did are not in any way what Christianity truly is about.
That Chapter, look him up, Mike is that dude, and MrBallen has even used some of the same topics or used That Chapter videos as his evidence (like the "real photo" stuff)
Knowing that both the son and the father escaped and were never caught really scares me. Because knowing the only living sister left is out there and possibly rehabilitated in her time in the convent (tho not much is known about that or what she's doing now), it scares me by the fact that the son and the father would be coming after her.
@@nacheezeiza2317 so they were only after 'impure' women and not after every single women since women were in general impure and needed to be sent to heaven? Were you even listening?
Can we all take a moment to thank Mrs.Ballen? For sharing our favorite storyteller with us annnnd for taking care of their 3 young children while he's working to put these videos together for us. Thank you very much. Wishing your family the very best.
I hope you still tell stories when I have kids n’ they’re old enough because I want them to listen to your strange, dark & mysteries stories too. Reminds me of my uncles great storytelling.
Really makes you think about nature v nurture - obviously Harald wasn’t ALL there to join & lead a cult, but being treated as the literal messiah (at least within the cult/family bubble) really scrambles yer eggs huh
This story is so insane that I'm basically confused. Of the three surviving members no one knows what happened to any of them, and they are all functionally unaccounted for. The son and surviving daughter both being young enough to still be alive today makes me wonder about every single person that is older than me. Mind blowing.
I'd guess it's highly likely they're living off grid with a small like minded congregation: but using a diff name & cult name . The incest would make it unlikely they'd get a large following but would necessitate somewhere isolated & private.
@@sarahholland2600 I disagree to some extent. Your hypotheses is perfectly valid. But with the father's ability to create a cult, convince his OWN WIFE to accept incest and inevitable murder to the point that she laid still while being beaten to death I'm guessing they went into politics somewhere. Additionally, they were crafty enough to escape a mental ward and avoid capture. I'm thinking they took advantage of the relative obscurity and are in plain site somewhere. Raising some ungodly new generation. But then, I'm an optimist 😂😂😂! I hope they got fed to vultures. But I don't believe we get that much justice in this world.
This has to be the most strangest, darkest and mysterious story I've heard on this channel. This was completely disgusting, horrifying and surprising. I can't believe the mom and two sisters just accepted their fate.
@@thatsacoolusernamebih1491 exactly, isn’t there a fact where like everyone comes in contact with a serial killer in their lifetime or something like that.
You've probably never heard of Junko Furuta's story. That's the most disturbing story for me. It had me shookt for a few days after reading the story in detail.
4.29 million subscribers is a testament to the perfection of your craft. My son and I watch your videos together all the time. It helps us with the loss of his mom/my wife. I thank you for the brief distraction of losing her man. Genuinely.

@@moonyshine - I think the way you and your son spend time together is wonderful! I was basically saying that most of Mr. Ballen’s stories are not this disturbing! I just think that adding some interesting stories to the mix of other activities (like you mentioned) isn’t weird. I’m guessing his son is an adult and is possibly the one who shared Mr. Ballen and his cool storytelling with him. You are right, to each their own 😁
WTF did I just watch???? I've seen gory movies, horror movies, serial killer documentaries, even some of the other videos on this channel etc.... but I have NEVER seen/heard anything THIS disturbing before in my life. I know you had a view discretion warning before the video, but I don't know how you can mentally prepare for an event like this. It was a good video, but WOW.... that was extremely disturbing and it truly takes a lot to creep me out, but learning of this occurrence definitely creeped me out.
The organ playing during the Killing Hour sounds like a crazy scene in a movie where someone would say "This is so fake and would never happen on real life"... Woah...
As an introvert who did not talk till he was 5yrs old .My story telling and conversations were below average but I wanted to improve .I stumbled on your videos, binged watched it and it has been amazing.. Watching your videos gave me the courage to start telling more stories in my everyday life . I see a massive improvement in my social skills . . You are the man, John! Thank you!!
ayy just don't become a pathological liar out of it. if you tell fake stories, just don't claim them as true. I've known too many folks who tell radical stories that are fun to listen to but then they pass them off as fact. they claim it actually happened and they don't convince anyone. go on and tell as many stories as you like! but know that the truth is stranger than fiction. case and point, this video we are commenting on lmaoooo
Good for you! 😊 I had another thought after I posted that. Have you possibly been tested to see if you are autistic? Two of my grandsons are autistic, they are both non-verbal, although the older one, who is 7, does use some sign language. I have been working with him on adding some words as well, he has "juice" down quite well! What many people don't realize is that non-verbal doesn't mean there is no communication, it just means that it isn't necessarily in words. I hope you continue to learn to be comfortable speaking with others, & if you get overwhelmed, it's ok to spend some time by yourself. I very introverted, so I get that.
This is the third or fourth MrBallen video in a row that I've watched tonight. Each one is literally crazier than the one before! Somehow I have to go to sleep now...😳
@@Messup7654 I feel horrible for this but I was laughing at the way Ballen described this. WTF is the organ thing all about then the singing and rejoicing it's just too surreal and bizarre
"Mr. Ballen", I'm a much older lady than most of your demographic, but I enjoy watching and listening to your vast library of intriguing content. I realize some stories are for fun and that's great for the much younger audience. I saw your thumbnail photo, realized what you accomplished before this career and am utterly blown away. You are gifted in many fields and you and your family are blessed. And you are incredibly handsome. My Lord, you are the ideal package. Thank you!
I’m probably halfway through your videos by now (late to the party, you’re amazing!) and this is the first one that has made me feel queasy and that I needed a hug 😢 horrific and terrifying what brainwashing can do to people.
I wonder is it evil for Frank, he was born into that life where he knew nothing else at all. In his eyes he sent his mother and 2 sisters to heaven. I guess yes it’s evil, just misguided, his responsibility to look at other people around him and know that chopping up your family is not the path to heaven.
Frank, and his dad, They said females were not pure... But fail to realize that THEY were the unpurest of all... Edit: Kinda reminds me of the quote: "If you consider a woman less pure after YOU'VE touched her, maybe you should take a look at your hands..."
You say it. Notice how some but few liked this comment too. A bunch of fools with their heads in the sand lately. Sometimes people prefer falsehoods from reality, because the reality is too scary and gives them a powerless feeling. Want to piss people off, just tell them the stark truth. I think society (today at least) LIKES lies. Enjoys superficiality. Celebrates being always right. Cannot allow compromise in a challenge. Rather let others control them as long as they can have their small comforts. Today is too passive. Too sensitive. Too jaded. Too self righteous. Too manipulated and used. Too warped and twisted. The tools we have been taught to trust to lead our wellbeing, have been lying directly to our faces for DECADES if not centuries, but no one seems to notice, no one seems to care. Phones are talking over our realities. Our perceptions are tailored every day with this device we always communicate on. We are already all half-soulless cyborgs and rocketing into the arch of humanity and the point of no return where we simply regress in the advancements of technology. It’s not looking too good for any future generations, because the past, history and it’s lessons are being erased and bended to fit narratives. May god have mercy on all our souls because got another thing coming with all this soon. Nature will act to take back this existence from us. We are too focused on us being perfect and right in shallow ways rather than finding quality, and wisdom. Instant gratification. It will lead us on the road to hell.
@@dontask6863 I had to take a pic of what you said. Bravo sir or mamm 👏, spot on. I am 37 years old and from the stories I was told from my dad and his dad I could tell my generation was weaker and now I see it with my own children. It's happening very fast and like you said there is basically no stopping it. All's I can say is people better wake up, be good with your maker, and learn how to build a fire with sticks and stones because before long that may be where we're at again.
2 thoughts- I like how he casually mentions they escaped & were never caught like that’s not concerning & also, Mr.Ballen is a national treasure so I hope these stories don’t start taking their toll on him. I discovered him, watched every single video in a maniacal 3 week binge & then had to take a break from these types of videos for my psychological well being. He does this all the time & I hope it doesn’t begin to effect his psyche.
There's nothing to be worried about in this tbh. At some point, after hearing and researching about dark stories like this, escaping and murdering will be marked as a common topic for you and won't affect you a single bit. It's just how human brain works.
It’s funny you say that because I have to do the same thing for my mental state or i feel like I’m going through depression after listening to many of this video’s! To much negativity just ain’t good for your brain
@@christinecreamer848 More like feeling dull and more cautious than necessary. I suggest you to stay away from this kind of videos for some time and deliver more of your time to bright or funny videos. Good luck.

When you hear that the family "fell back into their old routines of constantly worshipping Frank," you know it's going to be bad. Just didn't expect *this* bad.
I swear MrBallen just gives off such good energy man. Like he’s definitely the top scary story youtuber for me. He’s so great at capturing your attention and keeping you hooked
Additionally creepy, is the fact that when they went to tell Sabine what happened, they were probably planning on finishing the job with her as well! Right? Unless they were keeping her alive to keep fulfilling her sexual duties? This is a really sick family. I feel sorry for the girls. The mother obviously shared some of the insanity with her husband and the son.
Their plan was probably to wait until the surviving sister got back home and kill her as well. After that they either would've killed themselves or remain living like nothing happened. Harald definitely had some mental illnesses, Dagmar herself also was not completely healthy herself, otherwise she might have left him. Frank definitely inherited some of this mental illnesses, I'm not completely sure about his sisters.
@@nbHawkeye Sister which survived wanted to join them, one sister were jealous other sisters got more sexual attention... whole family was raised this way.
@@nbHawkeye I'm thinking the sisters were just so brainwashed after hearing all the nonsense being spewed to them by their parents from such a young age, it would've been all they knew. When you're a little kid and your parents tell you all that stuff you're gonna believe it
My Name is Sabine too and I'm horrified what this family went through (the women) and how absolutely broken their minds must have been especially the two younger daugthers who grew up with worshipping Frank and never knowing any better :( Cults are so disgusting and what these men do to their followers and family, especially to women, haunts me
The fact that John leaves us with “They escaped and to this day, no one has seen or heard from them and knows where they are” at the end is like the cherry on top haha. Like, I was already satisfied with the notion of the father and son staying in the psychiatric institution but the fact that they escaped takes the story to a whole new level of wonder.

The fact that the women ACCEPTED their death that willingly is truly disturbing, i mean they acted like it was part of a normal day.
I can't believe those to men think that God is ok with this.
This is purely demonic like all cults just more violent! In NO WAY CONNECTED TO ANYTHING CHRISTIAN!!!!
Religious fanatics will believe *anything* as long as it fits their narrative.
it's possible that they accepted their death because they just couldn't take the constant rape etc. that they had to endure
thats what happens when people are conditioned from birth without ever freely thinking
When I was at university, I did a paper on this family. One of the most horrific things I’ve ever had to read about. John, for such a short video, you did an excellent job telling this story. Cheers.
Thank you!
Awesome for you to be able to read that paper period And the fact that they escaped. That freaks me out. Thanks for sharing
That's hxc to do a paper on this. Hats off. That's a lot but I can relate in a way, as I did a stint as a low level abnormal psych in training via wilderness therapy. It was wild,beyond...

@@Couplescience I second this! So interested in readin it👀
honestly this is kind of an interesting case study on never setting limits and boundaries when raising children.
I think theres a huge difference between setting limits or raise your child as the prophet of jesus LMAO
Not a good idea to raise your son as a prophet who can do no wrong - lesson learnt
@sonicartzldesignerclan5763 exactly, no boundaries and worshipped as a prophet. The very opposite of setting limits and raising a normal child.
A son who gets permanently "worshipped" since birth... what could possibly go wrong? 🤔

This is beyond evil. I can't believe how anyone could be so evil. The father is the blame for all this insanity.
I kinda asked myself if it goes even further...like under what conditions did the father live under to have turned that evil. The frustrating thing it, if one person treats his child badly it shows up even generations and generations later.

Can't really blame Frank. He has been worshipped all through his life. He was utterly convinced that he is indeed a prophet. Whatever he says is a word of God. He has never faced any NO in life.

It never fails to amaze me how in cult like situations women are so "impure" or "flawed" yet that never stops the men from sleeping with them 😐.
Idiocy abounds.
Was just about to comment this. Their logic makes no sense
Yeah… #me too
It's what happens in abusive relationships. In order to keep someone under control they're made to feel like nothing.
I mean sexual drive is the only real addiction that god gave us. The only porpuse of life is to reproduce. So I don't think it is disturbing because they said they are "impure". What I think is way more disturbing is, that they f*cked with their own family.
Almost like these religions and cults are tools created by men for men as a form of control
Began enthusiastically playing the organ. That right there got me. Whoa, the absolute INSANITY.
That's skin-crawling. Reminds of a David Lynch or Gaspar Noe film...
Yes!
Yes same!!! For some reason that bothered me almost more than anything
Yeah that freaked me out too. Just imagine the scene with the organ being played while all this was going on. How would you have liked to have been their neighbors?

At first I was just like "wow, that's scary." But then I heard they were never caught, and that was the part that scared me the most.

They really didn't like that step-bro/step-sis action. I do find it odd Frank didn't have fun with a girl within the cult. His sisters couldn't have been the only girls there. From what it sounds like any girl in that cult would have loved to get stuck in the washing machine for Frank.

The human mind scares the heck out of me, the things people are capable of…..incredible story John x
The fact that they just sat there is so mind boggling. They were brainwashed so badly that their survival instincts or will to live didn’t even kick in. 😳
That is the same “faith” required for belief in EVERY religion. Do as you’re told, not as your instincts or observation direct you. And all you endure will be rewarded immensely in the future, after you’re dead and can not disprove anything to dismay other believers.
Every religion is a cult, and ask you to suspend disbelief and have faith in something or someone, rather than provide any actual answers or empirical evidence. In what other walk of life would we refer to a book written 2000 years ago as fact, as all Abrahamic religions do?
Conviction of any ridiculousness or absurdity, allows for all ridiculousness and absurdity.
Not lecturing you…Sorry, agreed with your premise…
Religion told them that it was the beginning and not the end so their survival instincts where void. Millions are still being brain washed from a young age to believe this.
@@hahajones well put.

@@anhbayar11 Lmao, is it bad that I actually laughed?
I'm horrified by this whole thing, but it really bothers me to imagine the father excitedly playing the organ. And then he and his son kept switching places, from playing to killing and cutting, and back again... so the organ would be splattered with blood and gore. Ugh. So disturbing!
Ughhhhh, right?!? That detail just made me feel sick.
Ok this is a horror movie beyond comprehension
No you guys it's their culture though it's normal for them you have to try to imagine
Seriously... to even exist in the vicinity while knowing this was happening and making no moves to stop it is absolutely fucked up. But to just be giving it some kind of soundtrack at the same time, on an organ (which is strongly associated with religion) no less... is truly the stuff of nightmares.
Tbh I laughed when he said he started excitingly playing the organ
Another interesting story, Mr. Ballen & crew.
In case any viewer does not know: The things these people featured in this film did are not in any way what Christianity truly is about.
Ballen says “graphic and extremely unsettling” and all of us get settled in for a GREAT story!!!!! This channel is like no other on UA-cam!!!
Appreciate that!

@@ThirteenAmp Heyyyyyy you 😊 yep another channel I follow and absolutely love!!!! I laugh every time Mike says “three” lol

Knowing that both the son and the father escaped and were never caught really scares me. Because knowing the only living sister left is out there and possibly rehabilitated in her time in the convent (tho not much is known about that or what she's doing now), it scares me by the fact that the son and the father would be coming after her.
That is if they can find out where she lives

I hope you still tell stories when I have kids n’ they’re old enough because I want them to listen to your strange, dark & mysteries stories too. Reminds me of my uncles great storytelling.
This is one of those examples of how someone can absolutely become what they are as a product of how they were raised rather than being born evil.
I’m a firm believer that most evil is conditioned, you can’t tell me school shooters (for example) grew up in healthy, loving homes.
50-70% of our personalities are genetically heritable but not disagreeing
Yep. I always say don't spoil your kids because they'll turn out bratty, but this is the most extreme version I've ever heard.
We all have dark side... Insane upbringing like this just nourishes it.
@@somebody700 duh. I never said otherwise.
I grew up in an abusive home, yet I would say I’m an ok person… yet, most “evil” people were abused, too.
Yo, Frank's eyes really show just how insane he is...like it's unreal to think he was probably like that since about age 3 or 4...
Brainwashed into thinking he was the Messiah since being born will do that to you i guess.
literally can see the insanity in his eyes
Yes the crazynes radiate aut of his ryes - jumping sceaming insanety.
Really makes you think about nature v nurture - obviously Harald wasn’t ALL there to join & lead a cult, but being treated as the literal messiah (at least within the cult/family bubble) really scrambles yer eggs huh
Almost souless. He's probably possessed to the point where his spirit is being held hostage and just acts whatever his sub conscious says (
This story is so insane that I'm basically confused. Of the three surviving members no one knows what happened to any of them, and they are all functionally unaccounted for. The son and surviving daughter both being young enough to still be alive today makes me wonder about every single person that is older than me. Mind blowing.
I'd guess it's highly likely they're living off grid with a small like minded congregation: but using a diff name & cult name . The incest would make it unlikely they'd get a large following but would necessitate somewhere isolated & private.
@@sarahholland2600 I disagree to some extent. Your hypotheses is perfectly valid. But with the father's ability to create a cult, convince his OWN WIFE to accept incest and inevitable murder to the point that she laid still while being beaten to death I'm guessing they went into politics somewhere. Additionally, they were crafty enough to escape a mental ward and avoid capture. I'm thinking they took advantage of the relative obscurity and are in plain site somewhere. Raising some ungodly new generation.
But then, I'm an optimist 😂😂😂!

I had another thought after I posted that. Have you possibly been tested to see if you are autistic?
Two of my grandsons are autistic, they are both non-verbal, although the older one, who is 7, does use some sign language. I have been working with him on adding some words as well, he has "juice" down quite well!
What many people don't realize is that non-verbal doesn't mean there is no communication, it just means that it isn't necessarily in words.
I hope you continue to learn to be comfortable speaking with others, & if you get overwhelmed, it's ok to spend some time by yourself. I very introverted, so I get that.

I wonder is it evil for Frank, he was born into that life where he knew nothing else at all. In his eyes he sent his mother and 2 sisters to heaven. I guess yes it’s evil, just misguided, his responsibility to look at other people around him and know that chopping up your family is not the path to heaven.
Frank, and his dad, They said females were not pure... But fail to realize that THEY were the unpurest of all...
Edit: Kinda reminds me of the quote: "If you consider a woman less pure after YOU'VE touched her, maybe you should take a look at your hands..."

A perfect example of how you can make people believe literally anything. Seen a lot of that lately.
As in all that still watch CNN and MSNBC
You say it. Notice how some but few liked this comment too. A bunch of fools with their heads in the sand lately. Sometimes people prefer falsehoods from reality, because the reality is too scary and gives them a powerless feeling. Want to piss people off, just tell them the stark truth. I think society (today at least) LIKES lies. Enjoys superficiality. Celebrates being always right. Cannot allow compromise in a challenge. Rather let others control them as long as they can have their small comforts. Today is too passive. Too sensitive. Too jaded. Too self righteous. Too manipulated and used. Too warped and twisted. The tools we have been taught to trust to lead our wellbeing, have been lying directly to our faces for DECADES if not centuries, but no one seems to notice, no one seems to care. Phones are talking over our realities. Our perceptions are tailored every day with this device we always communicate on. We are already all half-soulless cyborgs and rocketing into the arch of humanity and the point of no return where we simply regress in the advancements of technology. It’s not looking too good for any future generations, because the past, history and it’s lessons are being erased and bended to fit narratives. May god have mercy on all our souls because got another thing coming with all this soon. Nature will act to take back this existence from us. We are too focused on us being perfect and right in shallow ways rather than finding quality, and wisdom. Instant gratification. It will lead us on the road to hell.

@@nbHawkeye I'm thinking the sisters were just so brainwashed after hearing all the nonsense being spewed to them by their parents from such a young age, it would've been all they knew. When you're a little kid and your parents tell you all that stuff you're gonna believe it
Everyone in that family was/is insane.
Frank is the literal poster-child for "Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely".
.....Zionists are the poster children.
The CEO, if you will
Let's go Brandon!!!
You could say they were DOOMED
Yep
My Name is Sabine too and I'm horrified what this family went through (the women) and how absolutely broken their minds must have been especially the two younger daugthers who grew up with worshipping Frank and never knowing any better :(
Cults are so disgusting and what these men do to their followers and family, especially to women, haunts me
There's not many stories that give me that "holy sh*t, that's completely insane" reaction, but this one... this is beyond messed up
Me too. I felt like my brain couldn't really compute it all the way through
The fact that John leaves us with “They escaped and to this day, no one has seen or heard from them and knows where they are” at the end is like the cherry on top haha. Like, I was already satisfied with the notion of the father and son staying in the psychiatric institution but the fact that they escaped takes the story to a whole new level of wonder.
It’s truly terrifying that these two could still be alive out there somewhere. 😱
@@kelliw5571 absolutely. But I think by now in 2021 the father would be dead
This was truly the worst. Gives substance to the idea that the devil himself could not match the evil of man.
I heard they are running a B+B in Rhyl.
The son would be 67 years old and the father would be like 90.
Holy cow, this is probably the most heart wrenching, spine chilling, horrific story I've heard you tell.
I dunno....the bell in the woods was pretty intense too.... and then there's always " do you know how to get to bell island" lol
@@aaronmcghee7902 Bells canyon. DO YOU KNOW HOW TO GET TO BELLS CANYON?!?!?!
@@Hereallydiedforme lol yes
@@Hereallydiedforme thank you
@@aaronmcghee7902 Haha, gotchu, Bro. I remember forgetting that too and having to surf through his vids to find it. If he makes merch for it (idk if he has already), I need to buy it
Truly, truth is so much more terrifying than fiction. This story is absolutely horrifying and sad.
In that picture of Frank and his father after their arrest, that look in his eyes is a clear indication that that wasn't a expression of a sane man.
Especially the son, the look on his face in that last picture. He has his eyes opened so wide.
You needed that picture to figure out their insanity?
Don't know what you mean this guy looks perfectly sane 👀
@MelodicWolf no dude who do u know that has "the same look" as frank??
It's all an act, they got off easy
Frank *killing his mom*
His dad "lemme get you some sick beats son."
Some sick beats for these sick beats
Lol, funny and sick at the same time. ( sick what they did)
😂😂😂
Of course, after all ya gotta set the right mood 😉
You're all disgusting
Ah yes, the greatest prophets of God: Ezekiel, Jeremiah, Elijah, and Frank.
LOL 🤣
HAHAHAHAHA!!!
😁😁😁😁😁
Ahahahahhahaha 🤣🤣
🤣🤔🤣🤣
The microwave plate??! REALLY?!? Thats pretty sick, man..... you need like... a hug, or a friend...... ❤
I´m from Tenerife and I live literally 2 streets behind the building where everything took place. I always get the chills when I walk in front of it and its surprising not much people know about that crime over here
Holy cats! You've got good reason to say at least one prayer a day.
WOW
Thank you for sharing. Keep your doors locked with those freaky guys on the loose.
Yo también soy chicharrero, ¿por dónde es?
Mmmmmmmmmmm I would never walk 2 miles from that house very disturbing beyond words very evil
As if this story wasn’t creepy enough…Ballen ends with “whereabouts remain unknown”
I am still trying to pick my jaw up off the floor! 😱
How's your floor jaw now? Flo jo.
That's fun to say.
One is 121 years old, the other 97. Sure they are still hopping about.
I pray that the nuns were able to undo the horrible teaching and trauma that Sabine endured.
that's true.
I pray for the nuns.
Unlikely.
I hoped she got help by professionals. Nuns can be kind and supportive but they definitely aren't trained to deal with that kind of trauma.
Nuns can be worse.
I like that you used Toccata and Fugue in D minor for the organ music. Perfect creepy song. ❤
I just wanted to say thank you. I’ve been severely struggling with my mental health recently, and your videos have gotten me through it. I actually transitioned to a new school, and although I lacked a social life, I’ve had your amazing story telling to keep me engaged. Please, keep doing what you’re doing. I feel so lucky to have stumbled across your channel. Watching some of your older videos, I can admire how much your Channel has grown. I’ve been watching for nearly a year and a half now, and never have I disliked one of the your videos. (I’ve also got a good story if you’re interested!) thank you so much. Keep up the good work. Have a great day! Don’t forget, Make sure you’re prioritizing your mental health!

Love it
Keep trudging 🤍
you should post that story on his subreddit!
Kinda cringe ngl
The most frightening part of this story is knowing they escaped and remain at large over 20 years after their escape.
It’s so insanely psychotic, it’s almost unbelievable.
Was that whole family mentally ill?
@@nvmffs nah just brainwashed by religion it seems
@@JRAD897 well religion is a mental illness so it makes sense
@@anton7049 got em
@@anton7049 stupid ass comment man. Religion is not the problem, people are with their God complex, no respect for life and dignity lately showing even more... That's the real problem
