It wasn't just a single story, it was the 3-5 uploads a week! MrBallen's upload rate used to be unmatched.
Yess it makes me sad he only uploads on here once a week now but I understand lol
He came out hot and didn't disappoint. We all knew that pace couldn't last. I still wait for his vids.
@@Sukiibaby11yes he problably has a life to 😂 Loads of kids and a wife. Plus we all want him to keep up the quality and bringing good storys!
@AztecRay he still does though he puts two podcast eps out and a video every week. Also has added 3 new podcasts for people to listen to. The ballen entity puts out something almost everyday
Wish he uploaded more though
The way those two are just locked in is a perfect example of why we love Mr.Ballen. he is absolutely captivating
Lol They frozen just eye blinks and some head nods at home I be frozen in bed rewinding stuff to make sure I heard it right .....that's having someone full 100 percent attention
I am so happy and grateful that I have found Mr.Ballen's channel....that happened probably 1,5year ago, after watching his first video, I subscribed immediately....he is one of the very few UA-camrs, whose content is really entertaining and I can't wait to watch his next video....he is amazing!!!...hopefully he will never stop and keeps creating many more of his videos....those, who are not familiar with what he does, just go to his channel, you won't regret it 😊
I would be too 🤣 He has a gift with storytelling
Mr Ballen is the guy you go to for some scary, mysterious stories. The way he tells the stories is very soothing and very detailed. Its very much like sitting around a campfire and someone telling a story that sucks you in.
Yeah, except it's clickbait, not a true story.
@@YourWifesBoyfriend wtf? They’re all true stories
@@spartanswerve7575 LOLOLOL I remember one where he claimed a girl came back to life in a crypt LOL "tHeYrE AlL tRuE stOrIEs" LOLOLOL
@@spartanswerve7575 Anything supernatural is obviously BS but the majority of his stories are real
@@YourWifesBoyfriend well they are generally true stories he just fills in a lot of info nobody could know, to fill out the stories and make them better. Like what the victim was thinking,feeling, doing even though they died so nobody could know any if that 😂 as for story telling he’s good but people go way over the top with this “best story teller in history” like gimme a break there are thousands of people that could tell these same stories just as good. But he has figured out a good format and delivery.
The best storyteller on youtube no one comes close, long live Mr Ballen
AJ from the Channel The Why Files is an extremely talented storyteller as well, though it's not the same kind of stories. MrBallen covers one specific story and puts you in the direct perspective of the people in it, while AJ covers one topic on the theme of the "unknown" and presents you the multiple stories and theories attached to it.
Both of them are the absolute kings of their respective storytelling formats.
No one comes close? I don’t agree
@@HommeAuCigareboth my favorite channels
Check out Mr. Nightmare
@@Zealot5 Nah not as good as Mr Ballen i,m afraid
Isn't it funny how a person can just fall into something that they never would have thought would be their strength. Storytelling really isn't easy. Holding someone's attention while you just tell them a story is rarely done well. He's just brilliant at it, and he's accurate. He doesn't embellish things, he just tells the truth of what happened. What a wonderful successful job to have. I wish I could do it!
If the stories are good enough I’ve had many people in my life, couple of them teachers that had me glued to their every word telling these great stories.. not everyone is good at it though.
Agreed. I am terrible at telling stories by talking. Writing them done I'm ok at. but I will be halfway through and remember I forgot to tell you a really important part.
A key factor to many successes is the ability to see something is not working out and to let it go, move past it, and press on.
Not really. How come that sh*t never happens to me! 😂😂😂
I chanced upon one of his videos. It was very dark and compelling. I got hooked and binged his channel. I can vouch that he's a very good story teller.
That’s what happened with me too. I binged his videos and then his podcasts in the span of a few days.
me too , hooks you in like the Why files does
He's great at being dishonest in order to make the stories more sensational. He was just a bit late to be a Buzzfeed writer, so he makes clickbait for children.
@@YourWifesBoyfriendfym, he isn't dishonest
Same
He's such a good story teller, these two guys were just captivated and mesmerized
A tad long winded on UA-cam though - have to listen on 2x speed to get through the repetition - could trim some fat on the detail imo
@@NathanDewey11 Younger people watching everything at 2x speed is making me lose faith in humanity. No attention span whatsoever.
Didn't take much for you to lose faith. Need stronger faith. I'm 34 years old so thanks for calling me young. I'm also busy working while I listen.@@Rick_Cleland
its 10 minutes holy shit dude is your brain that cooked@@NathanDewey11
3:15 this is what kids look like when you tell them a bed time story 😂
Dude, fellow Army dude. It’s your talent and demeanor that makes people watch you. I can listen to stories from anyone. Even back when you started. Cut yourself some slack. I don’t see a soldier, I see a guy that is an excellent storyteller
This success couldn't have happened to a more deserving person....
Well deserved Mr.Ballen 👏🏾👏🏾
It's amazing that Jon took a simple folder marked "Unsolved Mysteries" with a single idea for one story and turned it into an empire. His story telling skills, perspective and likeability is undeniably off the charts!
He makes you feel like he's a close friend who is just passionately telling you a story. He easily pulls you right in!
*We cannot get enough MrBallen!*
Well said !
he picked the right story that's for sure
wait what. happened??
Mr. Ballen is such an amazing storyteller, I can listen to him for hours. He has a wonderful talent. When I lived in rural VA, they would actually have professional storytellers at some of the tourist sites and they would tell stories to the visitors. Mr. Ballen is up there with the best of them.
HIGHLY disagree with you!
@@chrishamilton1189are you just a butt hurt hater going around to all the vids with him trying to hate? Lol
@@chrishamilton1189why?
If by amazing you mean untrustworthy and manipulative, absolutely!
@@mehashiwhat have I missed?
It doesn't hurt that he comes across as such a genuine dude. Even in this segment of your interview, John seems like the kind of guy who anyone could be comfortable around. With all the hyper aggressive personalities online right now, his laid back demeanor (unless he's talking about good ole Lungey) is a breath of fresh air
The bits about Lungey kill me lol.
Lol, my favorite is when he can't even get through the Lungy segments without cracking up at himself and saying "that's so stupid!" Or something along those lines.😂😂
@@MLisaKiser you can't skip out on the Lungey content XD
I watch Asmongold occasionally and he talks about not skipping though ads and analyzing how people run their ad segments. It has given me a whole new perspective. I applaud the UA-camrs who make it entertaining and the companies that give the them the freedom to put their own spin on it. Ads/sponsors/commercials aren't going away so at least make it fun for the viewer. I am also more likely to buy something when it's not just a boring ad read.
It was that TikTok that started my journey with Mr Ballen, as a lonely Security Guard during the pandemic. I’d look forward every weekend to walk the halls, listening to the latest Mr Ballen.
The radio-activity was allegedly found to be from a lamp they used, broken from the Ice Shelf falling.
Maybe they changed into different-sex dresses because a snow shelf fell??
@user-yp6kn2uw4k *"Aliens"* ✋🏻🤓🤚🏻
never cared about or paid attention to story telling style videos until i stumbled upon Mr Ballen. he's not just a really good storyteller but the stories he chooses to cover are absolutely wild and captivating. i'm happy for him that he found so much success doing something he loves to do.
I found MrBallen from my dad, my dad watched all of his videos, when he was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, I would go see him in the hospital and he was still watching MrBallen videos on his phone.
I’m sorry buddy 😢
❤
I started watching him when he had about 7500 subscribers….I loved his multiple uploads a week but he now has so much going on. He is truly the best story teller online. He is amazing.
Lockdown 23&1 is a close second
@@hintoflimetostitochip7978nah, Wartime Stories and Bedtime Stories
Mr ballen seems to be one of those rare guys who havent been changed by success and to have genuin good intentions in what they do and passion for what they do
Please never change mr ballen
MrBallen got me through the pandemic, for whatever reason about mid-end of 2020 his stories would pop up on my homepage and I kept avoiding them and then eventually I clicked on it and was hooked.
I remember your first UA-cam story. I do not believe anyone who listened paid any attention to the wall or the lawnmower, just your story. I was hooked because of the way you told your story. From the earliest of mankind’s days, there was always that one person, man or woman, that could tell a good story , while everyone was gathered around a toasty fire. Thank you Mr. Ballen.
I love everything you write l myself have always been fascinated with the dark scary and the unknown, strange stories thank you for keeping me scared and aware.😂❤
Mr Ballen is a legend! Absolutely love his videos, could binge watch for hours on end
The story he's referring to that was shot in a yellow room, his very first story is worth listening to. The fact its unedited, and he's not reciting from a script, gives it a level of authenticity that other story tellers lack. Once you listen to that story, you're left wanting more.
So true! I’ve gone back to listen to that story at least a couple of times, and I rarely watch any video more than once. You can really feel his fear as he recalls the nights in that cabin.
I wonder if his friends on that trip have seen that video and can now understand what he was experiencing that he was unable to articulate at the time due to his age, fear and confusion. It was a shame that that trip estranged him from his friends and I’d love to hear they’ve been able to reconnect and talk about it over a beer.
Im so happy Mr.Ballen is succesfull and wish him the best and never thought that he faced such toxicity from navy seals.
The Dyatlov pass story is incredibly scary. I find it comical how some “experts” claim they have solved the mystery. No one can say they solved anything about this case.
Exactly
Theres a good horror movie based on it.
@@Darksagan what movie?
Devil's Pass@@mnemonicpie
@@mnemonicpiethe devils pass
He really does possess a gift for story telling.
More so he’s done it so much he’s become a master at it, rather than saying he was just born with a gift for storytelling
even the way he tells a story about how he told a story is great. he really has a natural ability to just catch your attention
Protect this man at all cost, like he protected so many others. He is GOLD. Mr Ballen telling stories got me through at least 2 years of the pandemic, forever grateful for the spooky escape he provided.
MrBallen is the man! Never a dull moment in any of his stories. I'm still wondering if anyone knows the way to Bell's Canyon!
Lol that Bells Canyon story freaked me out!!!
Don’t answer!
I found Mr. Ballen from solely UA-cam, and since I've never used TikTok, it came from me simply wanting to hear scary or creepy stories. Man can really tell a story in such an interesting way and clearly the UA-cam audience agrees with me.
Greatest storyteller on UA-cam
How do you know that?
Love how Mr Ballen tells stories, he is the GOAT of modern storytellers. Has you so fascinated you just stop what your doing to watch him tell the tales. Plus, of course his partner. Mr seagull lung. 😊😊
The girl who went almost mile away from tent had her tongue ripped out antemortem…scary isn’t it?..
His personal ghost story was when I started watching Mr BALLEN ❤
That one got me as well
Arguably one of the spookiest.
Check out Bells Canyon. Lots more than that one as well. Just click on his channel and say, Bells Canyon. Unless you've watched it already. I know it's a favorite of all his stories.
Mr ballen is the best one ever, great storyteller, an amazing dad, such a sweet person
The way Mr. Ballen tells stories no one else could.The best part is that He kept the suspense till the end.
I literally have been watching you forever I remember when you only had like 150k! I’m so proud! I literally told every friend and family about your stories
Found Mr.Ballen long time ago by accident...loved it. His intro music is cool and also that he's prior military like me and interested in the paranormal and mysterious. Should listen to his own personal paranormal experience
I was born in Soviet Union and occasionally saw military training (bomb tracing without explosives, bombers) happening quite close to farmland. My theory is an avalanche was created by a dirty bomb test.
I absolutely ❤❤❤❤❤ Mr Ballen he’s a legend. No one can tell a story like him. He’s amazing at it.
Mr. Ballen really has such gift for story telling... Even just recalling his own experiences is so entertaining to listen to.
Yeah the official explanation for what happen to the Dylatov hikers is insane and doesnt explain even half of the anomalies
He's the best story teller around. My grandchildren love him!
Inadvertently stumbled into a subject that has almost universal appeal. People love a mystery, disaster, tragedy story. Good for him. Sounds like he put in the work.
Started watching him at around 300k subscribers and to watch the success has been incredible.
Never heard him talk in a casual setting, but this dude was born for storytelling. Hope he happy💯🫡🇺🇸
I freaking love Mr ballen, I do miss the multiple uploads a week but Monday always gives my daughter and I something to look forward to.
I really enjoy your stories. You’re a natural storyteller John. I’ve been watching you for a few years. 👍
He has so many interesting stories to tell and he does it really well. You can tell he’s a natural
Mr. Ballen is one of the best storytellers I've ever heard. The Dyatlov Pass in Russia (I believe) is just one of the more fascinating incidents that is still mysterious. I have a profound respect for his service and how he turned negativity in his life into a positive avenue for him and his peers.
No way! This dude is the shit, been watching him for years
Yea, because your warped
@@chrishamilton1189you're*
@@chrishamilton1189cry more
I was binge watching his stories for like a week and half. His ability to tell story is unmatched.
I love seeing Mr. Ballen have a conversation. Its a snippet of his normal self 😊
1 of my absolute fav YT channels. Im a truck driver so having someone as good as he is telling stories makes 4hrs driving seem like an hr
Mr Ballen has a true gift for telling stories! I started following and listening to all his stories a year ago. He is truly amazing! Thank Mr Ballen for sharing 👏
Mr Ballen,
You truly have a gift for telling stories!!! Thank you sir!!!
He's such a great story teller. My wife and I love him.
Mr. Ballen is THE BEST story teller on the Internet. There are other channels that do similar content now, sometimes even the same stories, and while I enjoy them - NOTHING beats listening to Mr. Ballen tell it. I am pretty sure his "personal" ghost story was the first one I saw on UA-cam, never saw his TikTok content or anything prior about his Navy Seal stories etc. This interview was a great interview, glad you guys had him on.
His ghost story is TERRIFYING! I've been doing paranormal investigations for over 10 years and if something like that ever happens to me I'll have a heart attack for sure!
Mr Ballen is a brilliant story teller and the story of how he got started is equally as fascinating.
I binge watched literally all of his UA-cam content within a couple weeks and been hooked ever since! I'm so glad he found his niche because he really has a talent of keeping ppl super engaged and creating almost a visual experience through his words! Even stories I've heard before I still will listen if Mr. Ballen posts it!
Thing is, there's like not one story he's "told" that hasn't been told a million times over, for years. Not one original or unheard thing. This shit just grabs the attention of the next generation that hasn't heard any of this shit before, and it'll just get recycled and someone will say how "great" the next person is repeating the same shit over and over again....
@@YearsOVDecay1 DUHHHH... Most of the stories he has featured aren't "Breaking News" original stories.... obviously he had to have gotten the information from somewhere....but I happily listen to the ones I am not aware of and like I said I also enjoy the stories that I have heard already... tf
@@YearsOVDecay1tool
@@YearsOVDecay1 so he's a UA-camr then? Got it. I'll proceed with that essential knowledge. Thank you for saving me oh sire 🙄🤣
Mr. Ballen’s storytelling is the best! He really makes the stories ‘come alive’.😊
I just want you to know that you make me late for work every morning because I can't stop watching your vids. I also seen other videos on how you're an outcast know from the navy seal two words for them #$$# you. You're doing what you love and it makes a lot of us happy and entertained.happy late veterans day thank you for your service
MR B is a Beast! Been watching him since the beginning. I turned my family and friends on to him and That Chapter ❤❤❤❤❤
Mr. Ballen is my absolute favorite to watch. Love his content . He is so likable and very funny .
A Swedish researcher came up with a very likely scenario as to what happened to them. I forgot his name. But the story was something like this: they put up camp near a hill, below a mountain called ”mountain of death ” or similar. It turned out that this particular mountain gets extreme weather: strong winds of -50 degrees. It would suddenly be -50 inside the tent and they ran outside without shoes on, to get away. They tried to make a fire. They froze to death. A similar event happened in Sweden in the 1970s. What about the rest of the details? Animals ate their eyes and tongue. The heavy snow covering their bodies eventually crushed their bones. The radiation came from hiking in another mountain range previously where there had been nuclear waste in the area. There were pictures from that hike too. Edit: I realise this may not explain the lights in the sky. However, a good storm would create an interesting sky. I once saw a sky after a storm that looked green and pink.
Yeah, I have a book about this theory. And the topography and weather creates these crazy sonic sound phenomenon that apparently disoriented them and chased them out of the tents.
This version still doesn’t explain the blunt force trauma injuries, missing tongue and absolutely deadly decision to leave their tent in -30C temperatures.
@@macioluko9484 Take your tinfoil hat off. This theory literally explained all of that. The blunt force trauma was from their bodies being covered by heavy snow, which eventually crushed their bones and caused a fracture. The missing tongue was eaten by bugs after their bodies had been lying there for months without being found.. And they left the tent in panic due to the extreme temperature change inside the tent, and were desperate to create a fire outside. Hypothermia is well documented to cause confusion and disorientation.
They were Russians, not Africans, why the hell did they act like imbeciles when faced with the cold wind?
Late to the party but I do want to point out that it wasn’t referred to as death mountain until after this incident. It was called silent peak because the natives never found any animals when hunting there.
I found mr ballen on UA-cam recommendations. Aside from being a good story teller, he just has that voice that draws you in and makes you want to listen.
I love this guy! Just a sincere, genuine, & authentic good dude. A true gem.
@MrBallen this is such an awesome story you deserve this success man good for you!
These boys were LOCKED IN😂 the ballen effect
Now i see where he gets his charisma from.. he's just a naturally good talker, engager, and using this matter of fact formula for story telling.. he just takes you there. Like this story I'd already heard.. but it still got me and sucked me in.. again
Mr Ballen deserves every ounce of success he finds
It's because you're such a great story teller. You and The Fat Electrician are two of the best story tellers on any platform, period. TV, movie, UA-cam, TikTok, it doesn't matter, your style makes people want to listen to to the story.
I used to drive for a few years for work, I would listen to his channel, time would just fly by. He’s gifted for sure
I was there in the beginning when he posted between 3 and 5 stories a week. I was hooked!
One of the BEST story tellers
Mr. Ballen, You are so talented. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.
Glad to know MrBallen's story. Besides being a good storyteller, he's expressive and empathetic, so you're right there in that horrible situation with him. The respect he shows to victims goes unnoticed at first. Then when he announced his Foundation, I got it. What a guy!
Mr Ballen is a great story teller can listen to him talk about how paint drys
He is the best storyteller ever.
How they are listening to him is like... astonishing..like wow 😮
He is so talented. I love Sundays because I know it’s plaid day with Mr. Ballen
Mr ballen was the best storyteller on youtube no doubt about it i love all his storytelling whenever i used to get time or during chill and relax time i used to spend time on his story man i feel amazed everytime i listen to this guy it feels like you watching a movie itself while listening his storytelling so detailed going story .you are amazing john (mr ballen)....God bless your work 👍
The strange, dark, and mysterious is comforting to me oddly
Love this dude. So genuine and good, u sense it thru the screen. Even though he’s seen so much. It’s cool
One of the craziest things that was left out. Some of the dead had internal injuries as if something exploded from inside them. So not an outside force hitting them, something that made them implode basically
I never heard that one before and I dove deep on this story (I read through translated autopsy reports), so no offense but I don't believe that's correct. a few had crush injuries consistent with a powerful impact or possibly a fall. As much as everyone wants it to be supernatural / govt coverup... I believe the 2021 slab avalanche theory seems to account for most everything. If they woke to an avalanche and a few of their friends were injured, adrenaline is pumping --- they probably left the tents to get the injured to safety thinking they could go back for their clothes later, not realizing how very cold it was and how quickly hypothermia would set in. The radioactivity was trace amounts and accounted for by two of the team working at a nuclear facility.
@@TigerLily61811what abt them wearing each others clothes..?
Just natural talent with no editions. Long live Mr Ballen!
Will never forget randomly searching for crime stuff. I found MrBallen and I binged his shows until 4am. Then had everyone in my family watche em! ❤
This is so funny. I must have started watching his videos right after i saw that tiktok. I showed it to everyone. I've been watching his UA-cam videos for years.
So glad Mr. Ballen made that decision. Still one of the best storytellers i have ever heard.
9:50 it’s hilarious hearing you talking about your “crappy background and acoustics” for your personal ghost story video, cause I’ve watched that one multiple times and NEVER even noticed that background, much less any audio issues - that’s how captivating you are as a storyteller, my friend!!
You weren't bragging about ur self you were just explaining a few things about what happened to you it was the best thing you could have done without realizing it that was helping you heal inside and out now what a blessing you are to all of us who enjoy ur story telling I hope you are at peace with ur self❤ please keep ur head up it's the only way to see the stars bless you & ur family
I still remember one story he did that when he was telling us what do to the Like Button, it was about swimming with a freshwater crocodile and he just kept cracking up and had to redo it 2-3 times! So great!
Mr.Ballen is the GOAT of the strange, dark, and mysterious🎉❤
I’ve always felt that the Dyatlov Pass incident was a case of wrong place wrong time. The hikers were miles off course, in Siberia, in the dead of winter. The local tribe, The Mansi said they had seen lights for months before these kids deaths. I believe that they stumbled upon a testing area for low grade nuclear testing and died because of it. The “survivor” Yuri Yudin said the same thing.
I know he was meant to be a 'survivor' but let's tell it as it is he wasn't really a 'survivor' he turned back so wasn't there when whatever happened happened..Like you I have looked into this story a lot over the years and there's many a conspiracy theory about it from as you say something nuclear to Yeti to UFO's and aliens but I guess we will never really know the truth as to what happened but how sad the story is it sure does make for a great mystery.....
It’s such a crazy incident…we’re definitely not being told the full story
@@GIBBO4182they always leave massive oarts out of what actually happened. It was montha before the bodies were found. When you die outdoors the first thing bugs eill eat sre your tongue, eyes, etc. Know ckue why they ran from their tents but thre is very good reason why their tongues and eyes were missing
@@Michael-mv3kc the things is, they didn’t *run* from their tent, according to the footprints, which I think is the weirdest part! They were in such a panic that they cut themselves out of the tent, then they walked calmly in a single file line away from the tent? Makes no sense. I think it’s more likely someone cut into the tent, and then forced them to walk away without letting them get dressed. We’re never going to know the truth! It’s fun speculating though!
@@GIBBO4182 And why exactly would there be other people outside in -50 degree weather? It's quite obvious that they panicked from the sudden temperature change inside the tent and went outside in desperation to create a fire. Hypothermia is well known to cause confusion and disorientation.
What an AMAZING storyteller! This is such a captivating and sad story. I've watched many documentaries and listened to several podcasts about it. SO strange.
My sister bought me the book about this story. It’s called Dead Mountain: The Untold True Story of the Dyatlov Pass Incident. Read it, there are many other unusual things that happened that the seal doesn’t have time to go into. In particular, the damage done to some bodies which cannot be explained.
Mr. Ballen tells great stories and Mr. Ballen is a great story teller. I enjoy his channel.
its absolutely in the way he tells it. My dad was a story teller, you have to keep them on the edge of their seats he would say. John Allen does that with his Mr Ballen story telling.
Mr Ballen is the best story teller. From Cape Town South Africa 🇿🇦
I found him on tiktok during the pandemic. Hooked forever. Some UA-camrs voices I can’t get past but his is compelling.
I've fallen asleep to his videos the last 4/5 nights but last night I had the most vivid horrible dreams.
I can’t imagine Mr. Ballen working at Panera, telling stories in the back kitchen lol I have been following him since the beginning, love his storytelling! ❤
