Hi Mr Ballen. I'm in jail right now and just wanted to let you know that your videos have helped me a lot in getting through this tough period of my life. I've been using the opportunity at my rehabilitation program that I'm attending here to watch your videos, and I really enjoyed them a lot. I've been sent in here for trespassing, breaking and enter, theft, vandalism, assault and arson. Your videos have helped me mentally, emotionally, and have provided me this special feeling of peace and, infact, they have helped with my progress in rehab a lot. Thank you once again, and I'll be looking forward to more of your videos. Oh, and before I go, I forgot to mention, the victim was of course, none other than the infamous, Like Button. Anyways cheers good sir, and keep those videos coming.
I live about 2 hours from this abandoned town. I think I will visit it on my next excursion. If no one ever hears from me again... there will be another story for Mr. Ballen
Sitting here in pain from having brain cancer and listening to my favorite narrator 🫶❤️. My dad passed away on the 24th of August and my husband's aunt passed away a couple days ago 😞. Thank you Mr. Ballen for taking my mind off of things 🫶
I'm so sorry for yall's losses 😢😣 ...when it rains, it pours. I can imagine the pain from the loss of loved ones, but all of that on top of brain cancer?!? Again, I'm incredibly sorry u & your husband are having to go thru so many horrific, scary things! Sending yall prayers & lots of love, healing & peace ~From TN ❤
That actually sounds like a reasonable place to search. But finding someone to go diving in a pond at that particularly misty location might be a bit difficult.
The pond or they experienced mishaps in the surrounding terrain or they fell into unmarked caves or explored surrounding caves. That kinda thing would be my first assumptions. But hey, spooky ooky cursed froggos trying to freak out humans is way more amusing.
I agree. There’s one channel that sits and tells stories - a Mr Ballen WANNABE. 🤣🤣. He’s trying to even capture our Mr Ballens demeaner. If his video starts, I click out
I was wondering-since Enrique went missing, how do we know so much about his personal experience? Like how he saw the figure in the window, or hearing the frogs? Did he tell his friends what he was experiencing before he went missing?
I came in to ask that same question. I don’t remember the video saying that he told them what he saw in the window, or what he felt when he touched the rock. Or that he “felt like he was being pulled” towards the church.
Classic Mr Ballen story. New, strange, dark, mysterious. Not remastered or a fan favorite. This is the type of content that made him famous. Great job!
Personally I'm really fed up with the shoddy work he's been doing now that he's got a book and he's on tour it's like he doesn't have to remember what got him to that place
@@SweetLilWrenpersonally, nobody who comes here to listen to him tell stories gives a rats ass about your opinion. If you don’t like it, move on and then fuck off!! Mmmkay.😁
Mr B. First off thank you for your service. I am a recon Marine retired and have thyroid cancer amongst other things. Listening to your stories has helped me pass the time while sitting in the hospital trying to heal. There is something about your voice and the way you tell a story that calms me. Sounds weird but it's true. Thank you for making my days of hospital hell bare able. Please keep the stories coming.. Than you for all you are doing for me and don't even realize it. Thank you.
Hi there, J from Australia. I’ve been through some pretty trying health crises. In the last few years, very wearing and can be isolating too. I’m sending you positive thoughts for your recovery. I also find Mr B’s voice calming and soothing. I can’t help but think he’s not only a good storyteller but a decent man. all the best, Justine :)
@@justineparsons1063 thank you Justine. Any wo rd of encouragement is great. Thank you very much. I hope everything turns out great for you. You should like a great person. Take care of yourself with love from Richie from new York city.
I hope you get well soon in 2018. I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. I have been cancer free since 2020. It was the worst time in my life because the word cancer though mine was not a big deal others it can be. For me they just took my thyroid out and then gave me a radiated iodine pill checked my thyroid levels and I was done. I still go back for blood work twice a year. I pray you get better soon may God be with you
I visited this town in 2004 with 3 other guys. I'm a complete skeptic about everything paranormal (except maybe alien life visiting Earth). Well, it's more accurate to say I used to be a complete skeptic. We didn't go too close to the stone, but we did go through the cemetery. I don't know what it was, but in that cemetery, there was something that invoked pure terror in every one of us, all at the same time. We didn't see or hear anything. We just had a sudden primal fear, greatly surprising any fear any of us had ever known -- and we were all military guys, and none of us had ever been so terrified, especially since none of us heard or saw anything to cause it. To say we departed the area immediately would be an understatement. That night drinking our terror away and meeting the locals we found out that the witch's headstone is long gone, and that we probably stepped on her grave. And that is it. Never again will I go to a place said to be haunted. I'm still a skeptic, but something wasn't right in that cemetery in that little abandoned town.
I'm a very calm, even tempered guy, but I've had moments of shear terror and dread, along with shocks going up and down my spine, total adrenaline dump as if I were under attack or about to be. They don't happen for no reason, but your rational mind knows you don't have time to figure it out, just run.
Mr Ballen you truly are a gifted storyteller. I’ve tried numerous ones online but none have actually managed to catch my attention and keep it with a story apart from yourself. It’s a true gift. I know it wasn’t your initial calling but believe me your followers say it all now. I grew up in the Lake District in England where storytellers were very popular and abundant as a profession and that was in person. I watch yours online and I’m hooked. A very rare gift. A very rare talent.
I've been watching MrBallen videos since the beginning and none of them have been able to give me chills like this one. In all honesty, I don't scare easily. I binge watch, all hours of day and night. Having someone talk to me that doesn't judge me, because they can't see me helps more than I thought it would. Mr. Ballen, thank you for keeping me company
It's funny you say that I'm a 250 6'0 grown a$$ man and some of his story's truly give you the creeps..especially sitting in a dark room..back to the door 😂
Was it the frogs and horse gallops after seeing the 6 robed figures? That got me. The scariest vid i saw MrBallen do was "This box will KILL you," highly recommend it if you want spooked. The Palmyra Wolves and teen stalked in cabin by something in the woods are good for spooks too.
I also found him early in the beginning of his UA-cam channel. Before he used green screen and the channel was just him telling stories. Nobody else no producers, editors, collaborators, partner channels, sponsors , endorsements, tour dates, merchandise and lastly book tour dates. It was just him a wall behind him and he uploaded 3-4-& even 5 times a week. Just a guy alone with his talent. He's come a long way. I miss the cryptid and ghost stories though. But I like all of them.
Mr. BALLIN has never changed from seeing him 4 yrs. ago till now.....still the same guy❤ tough, funny and genuine....cant ask nothing more from a guy that has a platform with 10 + million subscribers....still the same dude❤❤ hope u have nothing but success in family, life and business❤❤❤
I really hope he hits that 10m marker so he can get his next plaque and I hope Kyle kulinski hits 10m subscribers he’s my other favorite UA-camr his channel is called secular talk
I love how genuine he is too! Its obvious that hr is humble and true to himself. I don't know many creator that dont appear to change st sll after gaining popularity. Its refreshing.
The whole story of Mr. Ballen , his service as a Navy seal, his difficulties in returning to civilian life and his triumph on tik Tok with his exceptional story telling is such a huge success story. The way he uses his hands to add emphasis while he tells his tales is exceptional. So for what it's worth, I say to yo mr.ballen "fabulous job, I give you an A+".
I agree, A while ago, I read a comment where a person was trying to accuse Mr. Ballen of using his military experience to get attention etc. I don’t understand negative people. I believe he created an organization that helps soldiers adjust to civilian life.
I have been watching John since he started this stuff and I'll be honest, one of the best stories. Definitely makes my top 5 list. Need more stories like this John!!
Great thanks to you Mr ballen, I lost my brother yesterday, I'm having hard time here with the grief of losing him but I'm really using your content to comfort myself and great thanks to you sir ❤
I am so terribly sorry for your loss. My sister died in 2008. From my experience, I can tell you that you will miss your brother every day, but time, and honoring his memory to the best of your capabilities, does bring healing.
I'm sorry for your loss. I hope you can find the peace and comfort I'm sure your brother would want you to find after he has passed on to his next level of spiritual consciousness.
Me and my daughter like to watch you when we go camping sometimes we watch you when we are driving just because we like to listen to you talk about scary stories.
I just left your "concert" in the Egyptian Room in Indianapolis! It was a blast, and seeing how far you've come. I've been watching you for about 4 years now, and I have always been interested in the strange, dark, and mysterious delivered in story format. Thank you so much for providing us with these amazing tours and meet-and-greet. I hope to see you again next year Mr. Ballen!❤
I read your book in one night and I love that you posted a story from it and showed us the footage. I'm so proud of everything you've done, I've been watching your videos since you started and you've come so far. I have such bad mental issues and honestly your videos are the one thing I look forward to all week, i rewatch your videos when I'm sad or feel like I can't handle life anymore, your videos have always been a constant for me and I truly appreciate it. I'm so proud of how far you've come, I wish I lived in America so I could see your show live. Thank you for everything you've done ❤
Why tf would he tell the story from the book? He said in one video that hes NOT GONNA tell those stories, thats whats supposed to do the book the best seller special thing, he has become such a fkin money hungry dude hes not the same guy who helped me get through my hardest year of my life in 2021.... Hes promoting alcohol and gambling and in one video he was suddenly an alcoholic, just to promote therapy like wtf? MrBallin' is good name indeed, lets read is my new favourite narrator.
@kallesoininen557 he wants to give the book life that's the point of this. If you don't like him, don't watch him. I watch Lets Read too, fucking amazing, but if you're not a fan of him, posting this is kind of redundant. I love him, so many people love him. You not liking him isn't going to change the minds of anyone here. I'm done listening to people talking shit about him because he has honestly always helped me. Always be the one consistent in my life and I will always be grateful for that even if I never meet him. Hating him but responding to comments like this truly won't do you any good. He's done a lot for himself and if that's how you feel don't spread hate. It's not worth it honestly
Have you watched forensic files on UA-cam there's something like 16 or 18 seasons of them. Some really old shows and then some newer releases. The old ones are the very best. They help me when I'm sad or they help me fall asleep even though they're about true crime. The stories are very sad but they don't make you depression sad.
The visuals in this video are absolutely amazing. I loved how the background kept changing to different pictures every few minutes and the graphics/pictures were stunning
Your book came in the mail yesterday. I ordered it for my birthday which was the day before it’s release! Can’t even tell you how much your videos and podcasts have helped me in my recovery journey. When i’m having those days where I just can’t get out of my own head listening to you pulls me out of that. Thank you for the amazing stories! 😊
Mine was 2 days before the release! Happy birthday libra almost twin ❤ & I got the book that day too 😂 also I’ve been clean 9 years. Even after losing my father,daughter, & husband. Trust me you CAN do this! Keep up the great work I promise it gets easier as time passes. You just have to be mentally stronger than the addiction. Easier said than done I know but it can be done.
Ballen, your blowing up! Knew you had it, and nobody deserves it more, thanks for taking us all along for the ride. Youve helped all of us, and we are grateful.❤🎉
I've been a fan on here ever since there were 30,000 subscribers, and it just gets better and better. Congrats, Mr.B, on all that you've accomplished. You've come so far within just a few short years, and there's no stopping you. I think I can speak for all of us fans, when I say, thank you for all that you do, thank you for your service, and that we love you dearly. 👍🏻
waking up today after a long week at work, helping take care of the most vulnerable of society. I need a departure from my life for a bit and your channel is a perfect gift ❤
English is one of the easiest languages to learn globally for anyone. Speaking another indo European language like spanish makes it even easier. I speak german, swedish, french and some russian and english is the easiest, swedish is relatively simple too. Only thing "hard" about english is the pronunciation rules which are inconsistent/not logical on occasion, but you hear english so much, it's not a major issue lol
Me and my fiance finally got your first book in the mail, we were one of the first pre-orders and have our book signed by you! We love watching your videos as soon as they come out! Thank you for the sign book MrBallen!💗🙏🏻
I think this is the first time, at least in a while, that I’ve been here right as the new story dropped! Can’t wait to watch, thank you for the stories ❤️
I was so amazed when I saw the title of the video, I've never thought i would hear a mr Ballen story about my region. Greetings from Spain keep with the videos!
So I just read this story in the book and it definitely left me feeling spooked! The book is amazing. You can tell so much work and thought went into it and just the artwork alone is incredible. Great job, John!!
Kids in their 20s: “Let’s eat handfuls of magic mushrooms and go hiking in that incredibly misty and haunted town. What’s the worst that could happen?” MrBallen: “Funny you should ask…”
i'll have you know that people in their 30s can enjoy mushies too. you ever seen a 3 inch tall watermelon ride a bike with no arms or legs, while flawlessly dodging the rocks rolling across the driveway like some kind of super intense and simultaneously relaxing game of frogger?
@@PKAdventuresmy neighbors front yard was full of living gnomes and I was running down the road barefoot screaming. I got grounded for the entire summer of 1989 😂😂😂 and my dad made me hunt morels with him until I moved out as some form of odd punishment.. Always wondered what kind of mushrooms he thought we ate. I had a mom. GenX so not sure where she was or how my dad was randomly around that day but nonetheless I was grounded to my room. Couldn’t even leave it without asking. Crazy parents tried to hard. Guess what I did when I got ungrounded ? Mushrooms of course. Just didn’t run home screaming ever again
@@drewdavis08 i think its the storie about the family who all died in that farm one by one, where the father first saw this black dog on the field and everything went downhill from there.
@@anaarias1993 i completely agree.. I used to love the paranormal but had to slow way down.. because of a traumatic incident in my life.. then I found Mr Ballen.. still dark and mysterious… but not too dark 😅
Saw you in Indianapolis last night. My daughters and I really loved the whole experience. Thanks so much for sharing your storytelling gift with us. Hope the rest of your tour is amazing!
Scotland 🏴 here, hardly any news coverage in Europe of what you all are going through & whether you’re getting help at all, terrifying for you all my thoughts are with you all & hope there is aid & shelter getting to you all faster & easier now ❤
@@mrsboom24 we lucky have a lot of help from churches and people all over the US right now. Just keep the people who are missing and lose their lives in your prayers.
My dad has recently lost his job and it's bee been tough lately but these vids always cheer us up and he was able to get a better enjoyable job now, thanks for helping my family through these tough times with these vids!
@sethmathis1375 You do realize that kids exist, right? I mean, yeah, sure you're not supposed to have a UA-cam account unless you're 13 or older but A. That doesn't stop someone younger from making an account anyway or using someone else's accounts and B. In most places it's _ILLEGAL_ for 13 year old to have a job! And this comment very much reads like OP is either a child or in their early teens so why tf are you telling them to get a job?
Exactly glad I'm not the only one thinking the same thing. Usually if Mr Ballen narrates a POV that means that person lived or lived long enough to write down and/or tell someone else what they saw/we're thinking. How'd Mr Ballen know what Enrique saw if Enrique never told anyone? This story seems a bit fishy.
@@iliketea1427 Was thinking the exact same thing, any time I hear him tell a POV story it’s a dead giveaway that person survived. And that’s BECAUSE everyone knows Mr. Ballen doesn’t lie or make stuff up too had spookiness. He always has evidence. This is the first time I’ve ever seen him not back up the story with evidence.
My Husband and I had tickets to see MrBallen in Detroit last Saturday, we’ve been listening to you for years. The week of the show we both caught Covid and couldn’t make it. We Hope to see you on your next tour!
Mr Ballen, do you think you could do a video on Poveglia Island? It is said to be haunted and is super fascinating to read about. There are videos that people have done on it but I feel that you could bring it to life with the way you tell stories!
I like when Mr. B gets to the point in the story when Enrique is leaning into the church, 13:03, Mr. B also leans his head into the camera. Thats attention to detail, thats great storytelling. And its part of why i still prefer WATCHING him tell stories, over just hearing him on the podcasts
You are so right. It’s the whole experience of watching him tell the story, his body language is great!!! You get into the stories so much more watching than just listening. He’s the best!🪢❤️🪢
MrBallen sure knows how to deliver a case. His eloquence is something worth taking into consideration knowing his exerts a lot of effort and hard work into everything he does.
Wait I have a question? If Enrique was never found, then how could you know what he was thinking and the feeling he was having and his actions at the church?
Shhhhh! lol 🤫😉 I figured Enrique made it when we were hearing his experience. Tricked again! It must've been assumed by Enrique's party & made sense to them, so it made it into the narrative. There's got to be some stories that just have gaps (for this reason), but to move forward in the narrative, parts are 'assumed' using whatever information is available.
Las Monday i got my book, i finished reading it, and now my daughter is reading it, can't wait for another book to come out, it's totally worth it, and the graphics are great! I can see there was a lot of love that was put into the making! I love it!!!
16:46 I can totally hear the level of enthusiasm he's talking about! Those of us who were here when he introduced Lungy to us know exactly what level of enthusiasm he's putting into it, lol...I love it!! 😊
I saw a quick glimpse of the illustrations in your book when you were giving ordering info and they look almost exactly what I in visioned when listening to them. The way you tell stories is really good
I am so THRILLED to say I finally have a copy of your graphic novel...I thought I might faint when I found it...looking at Walmart..yeppp good ole Walmart...I was like..naaahh..I bet their not....before i could finish my thought....welllll kiss my grits..they did have it ..and I acted like a thrilled little child getting the exact toy they wanted for Christmas...I wanted this book so badly for a belated birthday gift..my birthday was September 24th...and so thank God, the Lord knew how much I wanted it...and made sure it was in my little podunk town 😂...thank you so much for everything you do for communities across the U.S. and just how you never fail to let us know in some way how much we mean to you. I know we love you brother...sincerely...you've made my whole life a better one since I found your channel right after you came to UA-cam...MrBallen...you are one of a kind and no matter how many people have a channel that tells stories...they will NEVER be you and will NEVER draw people in like you do. You're special, you're called from the One who does the calling, to be this light in people's life. Stay bright in a strange, dark, and mysterious way....
I’ve been listening to Mr Ballen for years and this is the earliest I’ve ever watched a new video once it’s been posted. I’m currently sick and this just made my day better. I enjoy your content so much!
No🤢fiiiibre🍖. PIaque is from eating animaIs. Plant-based/vegans don’t have this problem ✅♥️💪😬🦍🦧🐵🐒👩🏽❤️💋👨🏼🥳. Choose kindness. UA-cam, delicious vegan food 🌱😌. Dr. Greger, Science UA-cam.
Question....if Enrique is no longer here to tell his story, how does anybody know what he saw in the church window or what he felt when he touched the stone????
Ballen does this with all of his videos. Once you pick up on it, you'll notice it all the time. His 'true story' videos are 40% true 60% made up to make them sound more interesting than they really are.
A limerick for MrBallen: MrBallen will tell you a story With happenings weird, morbid and gory. Strange, dark and mysterious, The ad reads are hilarious, The like button always feels sorely!
I believe that Mr. Ballen is truly a fortunate individual. He was born to be an excellent story teller. Very few people actually find their true callings. Kudos to you Mr. Ballen. You have a natural talent for story telling .
I would love to hear you tell our Aussie girl, Turia Pitt's story. It may be a little out of your box, but it is a horror story, with the beast being a bush fire.. Turia was a competitor in a 100km ultra marathon race in the Australian outback, during a nightmare bushfire season. She has become an icon with her incredible story of courage and recovery. In your hands, this story could be one of your best..
It has been told. It's in one of his earlier videos. Places you shouldn't go but people did anyways. I'm 90 percent sure he did anyways I'm Aussie btw so I could be mistaken.
California here. I remember when this was big news, and she had a lot of burn damage, and a lot to overcome. Her fiance/husband/boyfriend 🤷🏻♀️ stayed by and helped inher recovery. I hope they stayed together. Edit: l looked her up and learned that she and her fiance are still together and have had two children. She is very active in the world personally and professionally. I wonder why they haven't married...
@@MonikaMakowskiGormanidk if you’re trying to be funny or just plain rude! It was a good question and I wouldn’t think it’s for the reason you’re trying to imply. I mean, if the guy’s been with her through all of that, then undoubtedly he loves her and is not with her for just looks; pretty sure something you’d know nothing about. But I hope those looks pays off for ya when they wear off because trust me, they will, and that hot lil mama can help take care of you when you get old or when ish hits the fan; ya know what I mean green bean! God bless you and your journey in this world.
This is the scariest spookiest story ive heard from MrB in a long time, GOOSEBUMPS! Also, we all know how MrB felt when he explained how even without eyes, this entity was looking directly at her, because thats one of his biggest fears, especially from his own paranormal experience in New Hampshire as a kid! Thats the spooky that gets me too! Lol
In our weekly meeting: Boss: ....it's strange... Me: dark and mysterious (while nodding) Unfortunately I was not on mute almost continuing to "delivered in story format" until I heard the silence and my boss was like, "yeah, yeah" in confusion. 😭 The effect of mrballen 😭🤣
Mr. Ballen. Watching you is my guilty pleasure 😂 You are a combination of an intelligent, entertaining story teller who is eye candy to an old lady. Thanks for the hours of time well spent😊
My mom is such a fan of your story telling skills. Now I am also. Perfect something to listen to while cooking, cleaning, defragmenting and even a nice shower. Keep it up I love it!!!
I'm just going to bury my opinion here deep in the comment section.....I don't like the look of the artwork for the book.....I'm sorry, but I don't...I don't know anything about animation or art, I'm just an observer with an irrelevant opinion 👐🏻😅
Just wanted to send a big thankyou from the uk, i have suffered from insomnia and night terrors for years, since finding your storys this has eased, you have such a calming voice and the stories are so interesting, my fiance and me often snuggle up on a cold night for a listen and wanted to thank you personaly 😊 x
I'm SO jealous of all of you lucky enough to go! Hopefully one day he'll come down under on tour. I just told my husband if he ever goes international but doesn't come to New Zealand but goes to Aussie - we are going to Aussie just to see him live!
Haven’t watched your shows in a few weeks due to hurricane BS ( I live near Tampa in Pasco county Florida ! ) Helene flooded my street and home with 3 ft of water inside and out causing me to lose everything but clothes and my in the closet and my dog. Now I’m at my moms and pretty sure same thing will happen here . Ill have the past shows I missed to watch during the storm and keep me occupied now 😊
Mr Ballen I am currently stuck pinned under a fat lady. I have to say your videos have really brought me a lot of strength and comfort as I navigate this difficult time. Watching your videos really has made my life better. I hope I can see one more new episode before I starve to death.
Even though I'm watching the new upload under an hour or a few minutes more there's so many beautiful people saying ty and great job Mr. Ballen as i completely agree with. Ty for everything. ❤ God bless 👑🙏🕊💜💜🙌🙌
I would love to see a current behind the scenes video of the team, your tour so far, and your process on how you research and create your videos. Not in-depth, but I find it fascinating to see behind the scenes videos. Or even a Day In The Life of Mr. Ballen 😊
Hi Mr Ballen. I'm in jail right now and just wanted to let you know that your videos have helped me a lot in getting through this tough period of my life. I've been using the opportunity at my rehabilitation program that I'm attending here to watch your videos, and I really enjoyed them a lot. I've been sent in here for trespassing, breaking and enter, theft, vandalism, assault and arson. Your videos have helped me mentally, emotionally, and have provided me this special feeling of peace and, infact, they have helped with my progress in rehab a lot. Thank you once again, and I'll be looking forward to more of your videos. Oh, and before I go, I forgot to mention, the victim was of course, none other than the infamous, Like Button. Anyways cheers good sir, and keep those videos coming.
That's awesome, hope you get out soon as a forever law abiding citizen !
If you're in jail how are watching this video
For those who clearly missed it, it was a lengthy like button gag. Well done, sir
LOL! Good one! This comment should be pinned by Mr Ballen! 🤣😂
@@dgtv9491how are they commenting lol? Sir hide your phone so you don’t get more time!!!
I live about 2 hours from this abandoned town. I think I will visit it on my next excursion. If no one ever hears from me again... there will be another story for Mr. Ballen
👀 nope haven't seen her in hours...
Just write "strange, dark, and mysterious--delivered in story format" on you.
Stay safe n video it
Good luck! Can't wait to watch the Ballen video!👀🤪🤣😊
Good luck Enrique pt2 😂
The way this guy tells stories is genuinely one of the most captivating things I have ever found on the internet
Binge his catalog dude its great stuff!!!
Right? I’ve said it out loud often.
To myself of course.
He is a former USN Seal.
Takes so fucking long to tell a simple story
@@LMVG2233 really? how did you know
"Not a real photo of the witch" 😂😂 I love Mr Ballen. That was the best.
This might suggest that he has a real photo of a witch 🧙♀️🤔😂
😃
Can't take a real photo of a witch without having a curse upon you
I have a photo of a real life witch!
@kingsizeblues616 maybe he should have borrowed yours 🤣
I’ve learned so much from this channel. Have an AR, don’t hike anywhere, avoid big bodies of water and have the situational awareness of Jason Bourne!
Amen to that, Mr ballen teaching us how to stay away from the light for sure
Remember, anyone can get it.
Having an ar Is definitely the most important out of everything lol
An AR? Is that code for a pirate?
This story is from spain ? So you can't take you're AR with you 🤷♂️
Sitting here in pain from having brain cancer and listening to my favorite narrator 🫶❤️. My dad passed away on the 24th of August and my husband's aunt passed away a couple days ago 😞. Thank you Mr. Ballen for taking my mind off of things 🫶
❤ I am so sorry that's terrible. I hope healing happens and your pain is gone soon ❤
oh, ffs...there's always gonna be at least one i guess. 🤦♂
Keep things positive! God bless you!
I'm so sorry for yall's losses 😢😣 ...when it rains, it pours. I can imagine the pain from the loss of loved ones, but all of that on top of brain cancer?!? Again, I'm incredibly sorry u & your husband are having to go thru so many horrific, scary things! Sending yall prayers & lots of love, healing & peace ~From TN ❤
Sending love your way 👊
I wonder if anyone got to search the pond for those missing people. Loud frogs, mist, and unable to hear or see them couldve been a factor, no?
or a secret cavern or chamber underneath where the oogly googly ghools were standing ? maybeeeeeeee
That actually sounds like a reasonable place to search. But finding someone to go diving in a pond at that particularly misty location might be a bit difficult.
The pond or they experienced mishaps in the surrounding terrain or they fell into unmarked caves or explored surrounding caves. That kinda thing would be my first assumptions. But hey, spooky ooky cursed froggos trying to freak out humans is way more amusing.
@@furygeist Frogs*
Mountainous region with lots of fog is just gonna be inherently risky in the first place i mean
This guy is literally the BEST story teller on UA-cam. ❤
And yet we get Enrique's perceptions despite him disappearing before he can relate to anyone the figure he saw and the feeling from the sis stone.
He's 1 of The
Original's.
You should have seen him in person
I agree. There’s one channel that sits and tells stories - a Mr Ballen WANNABE. 🤣🤣. He’s trying to even capture our Mr Ballens demeaner. If his video starts, I click out
I was wondering-since Enrique went missing, how do we know so much about his personal experience? Like how he saw the figure in the window, or hearing the frogs? Did he tell his friends what he was experiencing before he went missing?
Yess watch it again plz he told them he saw a figure but he was probably imagining stuff.
It is fiction😉
@@Omar-co6tlI remember he kept it for himself
I came in to ask that same question.
I don’t remember the video saying that he told them what he saw in the window, or what he felt when he touched the rock.
Or that he “felt like he was being pulled” towards the church.
It's not fiction but MrBallen does add some personal feelings to the story to make it more intense.
now THAT was a proper ghost story! you're amazing Mr.B, don't ever change. thanks for doing what you do as well as you do!
Change your photo it looks really strange from this point of view, TRUST ME!😳
@@secretwatcher9922 No, as real man I love his photo 🥵

Just so you know, you're probably going to Hell. Just saying.
Classic Mr Ballen story. New, strange, dark, mysterious. Not remastered or a fan favorite. This is the type of content that made him famous. Great job!
Right! I miss this paranormal stuff. The true crime just fun not this is what I live for
@@LumpyshartI second this
Personally I'm really fed up with the shoddy work he's been doing now that he's got a book and he's on tour it's like he doesn't have to remember what got him to that place
3 places you shouldn't go but people went anyway was the best
@@SweetLilWrenpersonally, nobody who comes here to listen to him tell stories gives a rats ass about your opinion. If you don’t like it, move on and then fuck off!! Mmmkay.😁
Mr B. First off thank you for your service. I am a recon Marine retired and have thyroid cancer amongst other things. Listening to your stories has helped me pass the time while sitting in the hospital trying to heal. There is something about your voice and the way you tell a story that calms me. Sounds weird but it's true. Thank you for making my days of hospital hell bare able. Please keep the stories coming.. Than you for all you are doing for me and don't even realize it. Thank you.
Take care ❤❤🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you for your service & prayers of healing ❤sent
Hi there, J from Australia. I’ve been through some pretty trying health crises. In the last few years, very wearing and can be isolating too. I’m sending you positive thoughts for your recovery. I also find Mr B’s voice calming and soothing. I can’t help but think he’s not only a good storyteller but a decent man.
all the best, Justine :)
@@justineparsons1063 thank you Justine. Any wo rd of encouragement is great. Thank you very much. I hope everything turns out great for you. You should like a great person. Take care of yourself with love from Richie from new York city.
I hope you get well soon in 2018. I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. I have been cancer free since 2020. It was the worst time in my life because the word cancer though mine was not a big deal others it can be. For me they just took my thyroid out and then gave me a radiated iodine pill checked my thyroid levels and I was done. I still go back for blood work twice a year. I pray you get better soon may God be with you
I visited this town in 2004 with 3 other guys. I'm a complete skeptic about everything paranormal (except maybe alien life visiting Earth). Well, it's more accurate to say I used to be a complete skeptic. We didn't go too close to the stone, but we did go through the cemetery. I don't know what it was, but in that cemetery, there was something that invoked pure terror in every one of us, all at the same time. We didn't see or hear anything. We just had a sudden primal fear, greatly surprising any fear any of us had ever known -- and we were all military guys, and none of us had ever been so terrified, especially since none of us heard or saw anything to cause it. To say we departed the area immediately would be an understatement. That night drinking our terror away and meeting the locals we found out that the witch's headstone is long gone, and that we probably stepped on her grave. And that is it. Never again will I go to a place said to be haunted. I'm still a skeptic, but something wasn't right in that cemetery in that little abandoned town.
Did you know then history of the town beforehand?
So if your still a skeptic go back and sleep there,,,, because you dont want to admit
that the supernatural is real......
Il like the last sentence of what you wrote
@@thecrankster4162 do you believe is ghosts?
I'm a very calm, even tempered guy, but I've had moments of shear terror and dread, along with shocks going up and down my spine, total adrenaline dump as if I were under attack or about to be. They don't happen for no reason, but your rational mind knows you don't have time to figure it out, just run.
Mr Ballen you truly are a gifted storyteller. I’ve tried numerous ones online but none have actually managed to catch my attention and keep it with a story apart from yourself. It’s a true gift. I know it wasn’t your initial calling but believe me your followers say it all now.
I grew up in the Lake District in England where storytellers were very popular and abundant as a profession and that was in person.
I watch yours online and I’m hooked. A very rare gift. A very rare talent.
He is my favorite storyteller ❤
@@AphiweButhelezi-qc8fn he’s mine too
I've been watching you every day for almost 3 years. I regret NOTHING! Amazing storytelling! I love listening to these videos and playing any game.
how if he only post 1 to 2 times a week? 😮
@@comzerogaming8794 Back then he used to post 4-5 times a week iirc.
I don't watch him as much as I used to but he's still the best story teller on this platform.
31:27 yeah nope
+ the fog 😭 💀
The crazy thing is I looked up the area on Google Maps and it looks beautiful! But after this story I would be too afraid to visit.
Definitely not 😬😰
I've been watching MrBallen videos since the beginning and none of them have been able to give me chills like this one. In all honesty, I don't scare easily. I binge watch, all hours of day and night. Having someone talk to me that doesn't judge me, because they can't see me helps more than I thought it would. Mr. Ballen, thank you for keeping me company
It's funny you say that I'm a 250 6'0 grown a$$ man and some of his story's truly give you the creeps..especially sitting in a dark room..back to the door 😂
These stories have zero claims to back up the story, it's usually based on one's testimony
Was it the frogs and horse gallops after seeing the 6 robed figures? That got me.
The scariest vid i saw MrBallen do was "This box will KILL you," highly recommend it if you want spooked. The Palmyra Wolves and teen stalked in cabin by something in the woods are good for spooks too.
Iv also been watching him since the beginning and he never disappoints. I just baught his book im excited.
I also found him early in the beginning of his UA-cam channel. Before he used green screen and the channel was just him telling stories. Nobody else no producers, editors, collaborators, partner channels, sponsors , endorsements, tour dates, merchandise and lastly book tour dates. It was just him a wall behind him and he uploaded 3-4-& even 5 times a week. Just a guy alone with his talent. He's come a long way. I miss the cryptid and ghost stories though. But I like all of them.
Mr. BALLIN has never changed from seeing him 4 yrs. ago till now.....still the same guy❤ tough, funny and genuine....cant ask nothing more from a guy that has a platform with 10 + million subscribers....still the same dude❤❤ hope u have nothing but success in family, life and business❤❤❤
I really hope he hits that 10m marker so he can get his next plaque and I hope Kyle kulinski hits 10m subscribers he’s my other favorite UA-camr his channel is called secular talk
Yes he has lol, what an insulting thing to say
I love how genuine he is too! Its obvious that hr is humble and true to himself. I don't know many creator that dont appear to change st sll after gaining popularity. Its refreshing.
He has 9 mil
Yes he has we used to get to hear this man every day
The whole story of Mr. Ballen , his service as a Navy seal, his difficulties in returning to civilian life and his triumph on tik Tok with his exceptional story telling is such a huge success story. The way he uses his hands to add emphasis while he tells his tales is exceptional. So for what it's worth, I say to yo mr.ballen "fabulous job, I give you an A+".
Agreed 100%
I agree, A while ago, I read a comment where a person was trying to accuse Mr. Ballen of using his military experience to get attention etc. I don’t understand negative people. I believe he created an organization that helps soldiers adjust to civilian life.
I have been watching John since he started this stuff and I'll be honest, one of the best stories. Definitely makes my top 5 list. Need more stories like this John!!
Great thanks to you Mr ballen, I lost my brother yesterday, I'm having hard time here with the grief of losing him but I'm really using your content to comfort myself and great thanks to you sir ❤
Praying for you 🙏
I am so terribly sorry for your loss. My sister died in 2008. From my experience, I can tell you that you will miss your brother every day, but time, and honoring his memory to the best of your capabilities, does bring healing.
I'm sorry for your loss. I hope you can find the peace and comfort I'm sure your brother would want you to find after he has passed on to his next level of spiritual consciousness.
Condolences and prayers for peace for you and yours. ML&R TNJR
Sorry for your loss, that's tough. Bless you and your brother.
Great story. Getting back to your roots with supernatural/ haunting story. More please.
Me and my daughter like to watch you when we go camping sometimes we watch you when we are driving just because we like to listen to you talk about scary stories.
I just left your "concert" in the Egyptian Room in Indianapolis! It was a blast, and seeing how far you've come. I've been watching you for about 4 years now, and I have always been interested in the strange, dark, and mysterious delivered in story format. Thank you so much for providing us with these amazing tours and meet-and-greet. I hope to see you again next year Mr. Ballen!❤
I was there too, which was your favorite story? I liked the one with the police officer, the last one was too spooky for me lol
In the Egyptian room. Were there seats?
Oh my gosh. I know where this is
I read your book in one night and I love that you posted a story from it and showed us the footage. I'm so proud of everything you've done, I've been watching your videos since you started and you've come so far. I have such bad mental issues and honestly your videos are the one thing I look forward to all week, i rewatch your videos when I'm sad or feel like I can't handle life anymore, your videos have always been a constant for me and I truly appreciate it. I'm so proud of how far you've come, I wish I lived in America so I could see your show live. Thank you for everything you've done ❤
Hey who knows I’ve visited 28 countries so far I’m sure you can too!
Why tf would he tell the story from the book? He said in one video that hes NOT GONNA tell those stories, thats whats supposed to do the book the best seller special thing, he has become such a fkin money hungry dude hes not the same guy who helped me get through my hardest year of my life in 2021.... Hes promoting alcohol and gambling and in one video he was suddenly an alcoholic, just to promote therapy like wtf? MrBallin' is good name indeed, lets read is my new favourite narrator.
@kallesoininen557 he wants to give the book life that's the point of this. If you don't like him, don't watch him. I watch Lets Read too, fucking amazing, but if you're not a fan of him, posting this is kind of redundant. I love him, so many people love him. You not liking him isn't going to change the minds of anyone here. I'm done listening to people talking shit about him because he has honestly always helped me. Always be the one consistent in my life and I will always be grateful for that even if I never meet him. Hating him but responding to comments like this truly won't do you any good. He's done a lot for himself and if that's how you feel don't spread hate. It's not worth it honestly
@Sucessful-grownup-imposter i hope so!!
Have you watched forensic files on UA-cam there's something like 16 or 18 seasons of them. Some really old shows and then some newer releases. The old ones are the very best. They help me when I'm sad or they help me fall asleep even though they're about true crime. The stories are very sad but they don't make you depression sad.
The visuals in this video are absolutely amazing. I loved how the background kept changing to different pictures every few minutes and the graphics/pictures were stunning
Congratulations on the novel Mr. Ballen, you deserve it!! You’re the ultimate story teller
Your book came in the mail yesterday. I ordered it for my birthday which was the day before it’s release! Can’t even tell you how much your videos and podcasts have helped me in my recovery journey. When i’m having those days where I just can’t get out of my own head listening to you pulls me out of that. Thank you for the amazing stories! 😊

Hi from Cuba 🇨🇺, Mr Ballen, I study English and you are very helpful for improving my phonetic and my vocabulary. Thanks!!!
Que bueno saber que no soy el unico que habla español que lo sigue. Soy de Puerto Rico.
Good for you!! English is one of if not the hardest language to learn because there are so many confusing rules and exceptions to those rules!!
English is one of the easiest languages to learn globally for anyone. Speaking another indo European language like spanish makes it even easier. I speak german, swedish, french and some russian and english is the easiest, swedish is relatively simple too. Only thing "hard" about english is the pronunciation rules which are inconsistent/not logical on occasion, but you hear english so much, it's not a major issue lol

Kids in their 20s: “Let’s eat handfuls of magic mushrooms and go hiking in that incredibly misty and haunted town. What’s the worst that could happen?”
MrBallen: “Funny you should ask…”
i'll have you know that people in their 30s can enjoy mushies too.
you ever seen a 3 inch tall watermelon ride a bike with no arms or legs, while flawlessly dodging the rocks rolling across the driveway like some kind of super intense and simultaneously relaxing game of frogger?

Is "What's the worst that could happen?" equivalent to "Hey yall, watch this"? 😊
He didn't say anything about them taking magic mushrooms lmao
@@PKAdventuresmy neighbors front yard was full of living gnomes and I was running down the road barefoot screaming. I got grounded for the entire summer of 1989 😂😂😂 and my dad made me hunt morels with him until I moved out as some form of odd punishment..
Always wondered what kind of mushrooms he thought we ate. I had a mom. GenX so not sure where she was or how my dad was randomly around that day but nonetheless I was grounded to my room. Couldn’t even leave it without asking. Crazy parents tried to hard. Guess what I did when I got ungrounded ? Mushrooms of course. Just didn’t run home screaming ever again
Never get tired of listening to you. Great job thank you

Watching this before bedtime. And now im freaked out. And i takes a lot to freak me out.
Thanks Mr Ballen
But how do they know the guy that vanished saw the "shadow" in the window of the church if he vanished before he could tell anyone?
Exactly.
Thank you.
Exactly glad I'm not the only one thinking the same thing. Usually if Mr Ballen narrates a POV that means that person lived or lived long enough to write down and/or tell someone else what they saw/we're thinking. How'd Mr Ballen know what Enrique saw if Enrique never told anyone?
This story seems a bit fishy.
@@iliketea1427 Yeah, makes it seem like the team took some creative liverties with the story.
@@iliketea1427 Was thinking the exact same thing, any time I hear him tell a POV story it’s a dead giveaway that person survived. And that’s BECAUSE everyone knows Mr. Ballen doesn’t lie or make stuff up too had spookiness. He always has evidence. This is the first time I’ve ever seen him not back up the story with evidence.
I've started having nightmares because of these stories and yet cannot seem to be able to stop watching. 😵 Help!
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
My Husband and I had tickets to see MrBallen in Detroit last Saturday, we’ve been listening to you for years. The week of the show we both caught Covid and couldn’t make it. We Hope to see you on your next tour!
Oh, is Covid still a thing?
Yea it is unfortunately
Why on earth would anyone ever go to Detroit willingly?? 😱🤔
Mr Ballen, do you think you could do a video on Poveglia Island? It is said to be haunted and is super fascinating to read about. There are videos that people have done on it but I feel that you could bring it to life with the way you tell stories!
Now this is a scary story. Spanish towns and folklore can be very unsettling
You think Spanish folklore is unique at being creepy or unsettling? Newsflash it’s not
Whatever
Its he same story as "Outlander" on Netflix lol. Except "outlander"" is in Scotland. This is the Spanish version lol
Nothing better, Sunday football, good weather, and a new Mr. Ballen story drop! 👌😁👍🏻
That’s awesome but definitely better than to life my friend
I like when Mr. B gets to the point in the story when Enrique is leaning into the church, 13:03, Mr. B also leans his head into the camera. Thats attention to detail, thats great storytelling. And its part of why i still prefer WATCHING him tell stories, over just hearing him on the podcasts
I was right on this part when I came back to continue watching. Lol.
You are so right. It’s the whole experience of watching him tell the story, his body language is great!!! You get into the stories so much more watching than just listening. He’s the best!🪢❤️🪢
MrBallen sure knows how to deliver a case. His eloquence is something worth taking into consideration knowing his exerts a lot of effort and hard work into everything he does.
Wait I have a question? If Enrique was never found, then how could you know what he was thinking and the feeling he was having and his actions at the church?
That's what I was thinking too.
Ballen embellishes every story to make it more interesting and personal.
Shhhhh! lol 🤫😉
I figured Enrique made it when we were hearing his experience.
Tricked again!
It must've been assumed by Enrique's party & made sense to them, so it made it into the narrative.
There's got to be some stories that just have gaps (for this reason), but to move forward in the narrative, parts are 'assumed' using whatever information is available.
We got witches and ghosts in the story; best not to linger on the minute detail.
It's called story telling 😂
Best time of the week when MrBallen drops new content
Remember when it was 2-3 times a week lol
Sometimes 4, even 5 times a week?
New as opposed to knew that already because it’s old content.
Las Monday i got my book, i finished reading it, and now my daughter is reading it, can't wait for another book to come out, it's totally worth it, and the graphics are great! I can see there was a lot of love that was put into the making! I love it!!!

But it’s supposed to be

His POV ends at a point. I suspect the rest were there to see and heard his pov up to a point, the rest is “let your brain fill in the blanks”

I believe that Mr. Ballen is truly a fortunate individual. He was born to be an excellent story teller. Very few people actually find their true callings. Kudos to you Mr. Ballen. You have a natural talent for story telling .
I would love to hear you tell our Aussie girl, Turia Pitt's story. It may be a little out of your box, but it is a horror story, with the beast being a bush fire.. Turia was a competitor in a 100km ultra marathon race in the Australian outback, during a nightmare bushfire season. She has become an icon with her incredible story of courage and recovery. In your hands, this story could be one of your best..
I agree! Us Australian's are very proud of 'our girl'- Turia Pitt and the incredible courage she displayed. Please consider it. 🙏
It has been told. It's in one of his earlier videos. Places you shouldn't go but people did anyways. I'm 90 percent sure he did anyways
I'm Aussie btw so I could be mistaken.
California here. I remember when this was big news, and she had a lot of burn damage, and a lot to overcome. Her fiance/husband/boyfriend 🤷🏻♀️ stayed by and helped inher recovery. I hope they stayed together.
Edit: l looked her up and learned that she and her fiance are still together and have had two children. She is very active in the world personally and professionally.
I wonder why they haven't married...

Why haven't they married ?
Common...
Be serious !
@@MonikaMakowskiGormanidk if you’re trying to be funny or just plain rude! It was a good question and I wouldn’t think it’s for the reason you’re trying to imply. I mean, if the guy’s been with her through all of that, then undoubtedly he loves her and is not with her for just looks; pretty sure something you’d know nothing about. But I hope those looks pays off for ya when they wear off because trust me, they will, and that hot lil mama can help take care of you when you get old or when ish hits the fan; ya know what I mean green bean! God bless you and your journey in this world.
Poor Enrique! Great story Mr. Ballen!
This is the scariest spookiest story ive heard from MrB in a long time, GOOSEBUMPS! Also, we all know how MrB felt when he explained how even without eyes, this entity was looking directly at her, because thats one of his biggest fears, especially from his own paranormal experience in New Hampshire as a kid! Thats the spooky that gets me too! Lol
In our weekly meeting:
Boss: ....it's strange...
Me: dark and mysterious (while nodding)
Unfortunately I was not on mute almost continuing to "delivered in story format" until I heard the silence and my boss was like, "yeah, yeah" in confusion. 😭
The effect of mrballen 😭🤣
loool
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
Imagine if he replied with "in story format". That would be truly strange dark and mysterious.
@@somethingelse4424 best boss ever if that happens 😆
Mr. Ballen. Watching you is my guilty pleasure 😂 You are a combination of an intelligent, entertaining story teller who is eye candy to an old lady. Thanks for the hours of time well spent😊
Listening to MrBallen helped me recover from eye surgery 💞. I’m thankful to be hooked!
Watching you every Sunday since 2022 is a blessing

I'm one of the 1mil and under subs as well. Look how far we have all come together...❤❤❤
It's been about that long for me too😊 1st person I ever subscribed to!
@@Tinkerbell9332me too lol
Same here!!
Just saw you live last night, 10/10!! Thank you for continuing to upload whilst in the road!
My mom is such a fan of your story telling skills. Now I am also. Perfect something to listen to while cooking, cleaning, defragmenting and even a nice shower. Keep it up I love it!!!
The new book is AMAZING! I highly recommend it to Mr. Ballen fans.
I'm surprised it's not sold out.
A YT channel is more than enough.
Not if it has stories in it like this
I 110% recommend purchasing the book! Art work is awesome, the audible is also just as great. Thank you Mr. Ballen.
I'm just going to bury my opinion here deep in the comment section.....I don't like the look of the artwork for the book.....I'm sorry, but I don't...I don't know anything about animation or art, I'm just an observer with an irrelevant opinion 👐🏻😅
You know its a good day when Mr ballen drops😊
Just made breakfast for myself, realized that a new video is uploaded, I know my breakfast is gonna be 100x better.
This story was fantastic in the book. Can’t wait to indulge in the video format version.
Just wanted to send a big thankyou from the uk, i have suffered from insomnia and night terrors for years, since finding your storys this has eased, you have such a calming voice and the stories are so interesting, my fiance and me often snuggle up on a cold night for a listen and wanted to thank you personaly 😊 x
Thank you for the wonderful show in Chicago Mr. Ballen! ❤
Thank you for coming to the show! 🫶🙏
@MrBallen see you in Nashville soon!! 🎉🎉
I'm seeing him in Indy tonight! I've not been this hyped to see anything in a very long time!
His show was absolutely amazing!!!
I'm SO jealous of all of you lucky enough to go! Hopefully one day he'll come down under on tour. I just told my husband if he ever goes international but doesn't come to New Zealand but goes to Aussie - we are going to Aussie just to see him live!
Haven’t watched your shows in a few weeks due to hurricane BS ( I live near Tampa in Pasco county Florida ! ) Helene flooded my street and home with 3 ft of water inside and out causing me to lose everything but clothes and my in the closet and my dog. Now I’m at my moms and pretty sure same thing will happen here .
Ill have the past shows I missed to watch during the storm and keep me occupied now 😊
Hope you’re doing okay! Xo
Mr Ballen I am currently stuck pinned under a fat lady. I have to say your videos have really brought me a lot of strength and comfort as I navigate this difficult time. Watching your videos really has made my life better. I hope I can see one more new episode before I starve to death.
😂😂😂
Good morning @MrBallen! Sending gigantic blessings to everyone reading this! My favourite story teller is in the house! 🌹🇨🇦
Mr ballen I love that your using a hard cover book instead of a digital book. It's nice and refreshing to have print instead of something digital
Even though I'm watching the new upload under an hour or a few minutes more there's so many beautiful people saying ty and great job Mr. Ballen as i completely agree with. Ty for everything. ❤
God bless 👑🙏🕊💜💜🙌🙌
I would love to see a current behind the scenes video of the team, your tour so far, and your process on how you research and create your videos. Not in-depth, but I find it fascinating to see behind the scenes videos. Or even a Day In The Life of Mr. Ballen 😊
MrBallen is the GOAT 🐐

This must be figured out by a story battle with _The Why Files_
