Too bad they didn't do the same for Coco. The love Coco had for the family unfortunately was not the same love the family had for him. I truly doubt they morned Cocos loss for longer than just a few days. I would of taken my dogs with me, I love my dogs as if they were my own. There is nothing I wouldn't do for 'em.
@@nuviaerivez5876 I agree with you to a point, but a lot of people that own land or farms get dogs that live outside. Their job is to watch the land, it's not exactly the same as a house pet. They have a role in the family, just like the people do. But usually these dogs are trained to patrol the land, they're not locked up in a section of fence. If they were going to contain her, there's no reason she shouldn't of just been in the house instead.
EXACTLY! What kind of father leaves for a week the morning after something or someone possibly broke his child's arm. There is no way in hell I could leave my family without a car like that.
Right? And did he actually say after 3 days the mom had to go BACK to the hospital to get the boy? Did she really leave him alone in the hospital for 3 days?!? When my son was in the hospital I barely left him long enough - with my husband- to go home and shower.
@@pattywieder3268 she obviously couldn't stay there with her daughter even if she didn't have to go to the daughter u don't have to stay overnight in hospital that's what doctors and nurses r for
As soon as he said that Coco was put in her outdoor cage, I knew something was going to happen to her. Poor Coco, you were a great guard dog. Rest in peace. ❤
Honestly the saddest part of this story for me was when Coco went missing. I honestly wanted the dog to make some triumphant return or to just come back
LITERALLY the last thing I would do if my daughter told me they saw a man running towards the house in the middle of the night, would be to put her back to bed and pretend nothing happened.
Even ruling out the possibility of anything paranormal, my first thought would be "oh shit, someone's probably about to try to break in to my house!" So yeah, not ignoring it either way. lol
21:20 your small son broke his arm, your small daughter keeps seeing a weird figure lurking on your property, your young healthy loyal dog has gone missing without a trace, and you decide to leave them alone for several days without a reliable car?! Worse parents EVER!
That’s freaking funny, I laughed out loud on that one 🤣🤣 it’s gotta be a deer tapping on her head I mean they usually do that sort of thing when indoors. That Belinda is a piece of work herself 😜
Maybe coco packed her things and left. Coco like: Belinda thinks everything's a deer, she gonna get us all killed and I'm not staying for this foolery.
Probably because of the fact that it was clearly burnt to a crisp. If it still looked in working order with no issues then I'm sure they'd call or keep an eye out for the owner
My anxiety immediately escalated to panic level when they decided to go into town and leave Coco in a cage in front of the house... WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU LEAVE THE DOG BEHIND IN PLACE THAT MAKES YOU FEEL UNSAFE?? Especially so defenseless locked in a cage and left in the open 😩 #justiceforCoco
You’re not alone. I felt the same way. For context: our dog sleeps in bed with my husband and I after we swore that *this one would sleep in her kennel* But yeah, poor Cocoa 😢🐾
Coco was actually growling and baring her teeth at all of the bad decisions that Belinda and her husband had made. Legend has it that she leapt over the fence, ran back to Baltimore, moved in with a more competent family, and thoroughly enjoyed the remainder of her days.
The most frustrating & truly saddening part of this awful occurrence is the the dog was taken and never found. That broke my heart. Poor dog just protected that family and deserved better.
Yep. Totally get the same reaction. I feel awful for the dog. I mean, I would have felt bad if one of the children had gone missing too, but there's something different around a missing animal that can't communicate with words. Despite the terrible act committed by the town's folks on this man, I can understand why they did what they did. There comes a point when you can't wait for the law to do its job. If people (in this case, kids) are in imminent danger you have to act NOW. I can't imagine how horrible a man this must have been if he was cruel or abusive when he was alive, and now, in death, still seems to have some power over people and animals.
Whenever you buy a house it's an actual law that the realtor is supposed to give you full disclosure of the history of the house. And if they don't then it's an automatic lawsuit.
That refers to any stigma that might be attached to the home, such as a suicide that took place there or if it had been used as a drug house, etc. Those things are required to be disclosed to any potential buyer. It's likely different statutes that vary by region and also likely wasn't a thing at all at the time this story takes place.
maybe cause of the music and totally over the top pictures ? :'D i mean "a figure that looks like a man" and shows a picture of a horror movie for 18+ years old :D
He probably writes it like a statement like a cop, his presentation and how he talks is very cop like. Very descriptive, its like you are there without it being overly graphic.
@@sam6235 I don't mean to laugh but that's funny 🤣 And here it is, 12:15am and I'm watching this getting ready to go outside to feed my stray kitties UGGGHHH 😵 Talk about a coronary 😱
No, I think that that was Mr. Ballen’s ad hoc contribution. You’re checking if we’re listening. YEAH, A MOOSE BONKING a window pane at night IN WEST VIRGINIA! Amazing! Your brain is still almost at the Canadian border. As you “know,” there probably is not ONE moose in WV, not even in a ZOO! Although a few mountain lions could be circus runaways living in northern Pennsylvania, the only MOOSEs in PA are the small town drinking clubs by that name. A moose in WV - - that tales the cake!
The only thing I could think of for the first half of the story was “oh no don’t let anything happen to that dog” and for the next half of the story I was like “man poor coco”
😢our dog is like a child to me, i adopted her when she was 2 months old, and my son was two and half, my son turned 13 beginning of this year, i couldn't stand it to hear they left the dog
I don't know why this randomly came back onto my page after 3yrs, since I already listened to it, but it's one of the best stories you've told so I listened again!
The little puppy... I have tears i my eyes thinking about that. The poor puppy who was just trying to protect the family, did so well, and will never be seen by them again, nor will Coco ever be able to see them again, cuddle up with them again, do anything with them again... :( Now I've just made myself even sadder... Why Coco, why??!!!
I’m ALWAYS full-bodied covers with my blanket tucked under my chin while I’m watching MrBallen’s videos, night AND day. It’s daylight right now, rainy and gray but I’m fully blanket protected!
We kind of have to. I mean biologically speaking Humans are not Apex predators, we are scavengers at worst and opportunistic at best. And we had to develop the ability to detect when something is watching or stalking us to survive. Now we have guns and other fancy tools to help us survive, but somethings from our ancient days still stick around and usually for a good reason.
When you're scared for your life like that your adrenaline is through the roof and when that adrenaline high is over you're exhausted. It's not like just going to sleep, its more like passing out from exhaustion.
Also the staying away for the entire week? Unacceptable. If he was tired of the daily drive he could have at least driven back home midweek and made the drive again but to drive out Monday and return Friday? Is ridiculous, with 2 small children and a wife at home
So this may sound crazy, but not everyone works a corporate job where you can call off because of your son's injury. Try that isht with my boss n he'll be like... -right, but is YOUR arm broken?
I never watch Mr Ballen's videos after dark, that way if I'm frightened by one of them I have the light of day to look upon. I'll watch something else that is cheerful and uplifting, and I get over the fright pretty quickly. But this one was creepier than usual. I'll still be over it by the time it's dark, but MAN! am I REALLY glad I didn't watch this at night.
I love how when Belinda says she can't stay there anymore her husband has her back without any hesitation or questions. He just came home from work and got his family out of there. That's how families should be, supportive of each other without question. I love it.
Yeah, methinks the father didnt really wanna be there to begin with because of the idiotic commute. Dunno whose idea it was to buy that house, but since Belinda had grown up in parts like that, I am guessing, it wasnt the husband's idea. he just saw the opening to get out of the terrible commute and he took it.
@@MetallicGC people think spirits and ghost can't hurt people or animals. Objects can also apport and reapport later right in front of you. Or when your gone. Watch the documentary on the Skoal experiments. Every attempt by science tried to debunk it. Including keeping the film chosen at random by the scientist in a locked box that they held. But the only key to the padlock wasn't in the room with them. Yet the spirits still were able to develope the film. 80 year old newspapers appeared with no yellowing or deteriorating with ink that hasn't been made in several decades
@@brianfitch5469 lol the chewing tobacco shit has been debunked multiple times we just don’t know how exactly it was done in the original “experiment” multiple examples of how it could have been done are there for all to find Just Yet another failed attempt to prove the paranormal there is still o evidence of something people have been looking for for centuries that should be a red flag
Love the way you narrate the story and you put yourself inside the narration You could it be a great teacher it makes you want to be part of the storie.
Shout out accepted...had some crazy stuff happen around 5-8 years old. Feel my parents suspected something but 30+years later still no answer...only strange things I did like sleep walking. Still effects me to this day.
Came home and told my dad I just seen my best friend get killed. He said no you didn't as siren pass by and he goes ok maybe you did and nervously laughs which I laughed to it helped a bunch to be honest but to this day I don't think he realizes I seen my best friend get hit by a truck when he got off the bus.
True dat! I didn't witness something but had a neighbor tell my mom once that I pissed all over her car one day when I simply didn't do it but she believed him and grounded me for like a month. Parents just don't know when to believe kids I guess, but if my kid says anything about a man or a person coming anywhere near them in our house im going to at the least check it out or set up cameras or something
@@lucassmith1886 lol yeah man when I have kids, I'm going to believe them tell there's proof to the contrary. A judge 4-10 would be a good pew pew to have instead of cameras.
aint that the truth, i remember facing shadow people and my mom thought it was just stress from moving and her getting divorced. To this day all my siblings remember that stuff but my mom still cant understand it
@@lesewing you din and Lynn habe the awareness of a rock, the video literslly said there's no way she could've gotten out as the cage was locked tight, that means that thing came, grabbed her and killed and more than likely hurried her in the little cemetery that was back there!
@@pulëeskuqurdheshalqi After who or whatever got into the house and opened the cage. There would of been some trace if the dog got taken and killed. A killer would of left a piece of the dog as a message. Whoever got the dog out probably just chased or scared her deep into the forest.
I did too! What happened to Cocoa?? I'm so afraid something truly awful occurred and it not only breaks me to pieces but it also makes me really angry at the mother. Scary things are happening and she leaves the dog!? No way, no how would I ever do that
When I was a kid, my family lost three dogs, thanks to some unknown assholes. I'm glad that those were the only pets we lost due to someone's deliberate actions. At least my wife and I have never had that problem with our cats. It's bad enough, when pets die of natural causes, without outside help...every single loss has always screwed me up for months, and in some cases, years. They're that important for my mental health...
@@blainebrown8824, I have had many experiences and would NEVER - HAVE NEVER - LEFT my pets IN THAT VULNERABLE SITUATION. THIS IS ABSOLUTE STUPIDITY AND TOTAL LACK OF CONSIDERATION!!! While you're sitting on your sofa, some of us do clearings
Euggghhhhh, this hit hard! When I was a kid I was always SUPER freaked out by windows at night. If I had to close my curtains after dark I would close my eyes to do it. My biggest fear was seeing someone in the window. THEN as a teenager one time I got woken up really early in the morning by my friend who lived with us coming into my room before she went to work that day. She opened my bedroom door, turned on the light, but she didn't say anything. I was SUPER hung over, so I just sat up and could barely see and was like huh, what's up? But then she turned it back off, closed the door, and left for work out the backdoor beside my room. I could see her walk by through my curtains because it was still dark and the motion sensor light went off, then the back gate opened and she went to the front to her car. I figured she had needed something but didn't want to disturb me, so I went out in the hallway to get my cell out of my coat pocket from the night before and see what was up, since I was already awake. I couldn't find it anywhere, and was so upset I had lost it AGAIN, because my parents would give me shit for it. I went to our landline instead and called her cell. She answered very confused and groggy, asking why I was calling her at 4 am and waking her up. At first I was so confused, I was a kid really, and I was hung over, well probably still drunk actually. I just went what? You woke ME up on your way to work! She was like what are you talking about, I am in bed right now. It was only then that I realized someone had come into our back door, gone through my things in the hallway, taken my phone, and then come into my room. I never told my parents about it because they were always giving me a hard time about forgetting to lock the back door. You can bet I never forgot to lock that door again after that! I also got a lock for my bedroom. *edited for typo
Yes it was the best part of the story....however it sounds like they succeeded in creating or unleashing a restless evil spirit. Also.....i really hated to hear about the loss of cocoa....she sounded like a good dog.
I am from southern WV, but reside in TN now. I was very intrigued by this video,, especially taking place in my homestate. I decided to finish watching this on Sunday night. I am at home with my two toddlers because my husband works nights. I started this video after 11 p.m. and finally got my baby girl to sleep by 11:10 or 11:15. By 11:20 I was calling 911 because an intruder broke into my home and was in my daughter's room. Thank God she was with me in my bed with my other child. By the time I heard him stepping on her toys and them singing and making all the toy noises I let my dogs out of the room I was in and they chased him out of my back door.. he jumped the gate and was gone before I could even lay eyes one him. No one was hurt and nothing was taken. I just thought it was worth telling everyone that I was watching a mrballen video while someone broke into my house. Something that has never happened to me before in my life. I freak myself out enough as it is watching the strange, dark and mysterious, but I'm sure I'll be hyper vigilant from now on. Lol
rewatching many of these vids like most of his fans, watching the "hauntings" playlist and seeing MrBallen get more confident and slowly transform into the famous MrBallen who has his own book, live shows and podcasts makes me more happy than it should
Also, Dad is like 'ah shit I have go to work tomorrow too' when his son appears to randomly have a broken arm while laying in bed. I wish that when people come up with these stories they don't make every stupid at every turn. The trope of the stupid character in a horror film/story doesn't mean they always have to make bad decisions.
I’ve seen kids seeing something that us adults don’t see. I saw a program about a kid that knew names,places,how the person died(twin towers) knew security stuff only workers know. It’s very interesting. Nice one Mr B!!
Who out there in their right mind would leave Coco, their SOLE protector, alone AND in a cage...?? I would have left Coco loose INSIDE the house....just saying.....
I love how the dad just agreed to leave. That speaks to a strong marriage - trust that his wife wouldn't just decide something that extreme without good cause.
That’s exactly what I thought too, right away! I would be quick to say the same because I know me and mine are very chill and don’t exaggerate anything. So if it’s something that sudden and drastic, I’d take her word for it ASAP!
I have a black lab and when I got her she looked exactly like the image of her. But my dog, her name is Riley, wouldn’t stop an intruder. There was a squirrel in my house about a foot in front of her face and she opened her eyes, exhaled, and went back to sleep 😂
The Mr Ballen phenomenon is great and what he's done for so many is wonderful. That said, I miss this....the original Mr. B...the 3, 4 or 5 x week show. The frequency, of course, but also the delivery.
Imagine my horror when my 6 yr old comes to me and says there is a scary lady in a white dress that comes anf talks to her at night so she doesnt want to go to bed or be in her room... I figured she was just trying ro fight bedtime told her noone there goodnight I do believe in the supernatural have seen too much in my life not too... But again she likes to make up stories and stuff so I just figured it was her imagination... A cpl days later im walking theough and i walk past the door of her room and theres the scary white lady standing next to her bed looking at her... When i walked in to the room she was gone but I told her to leave my kid alone and my daughter hasnt said anything about her since... Yeah then there was the guy that walked into my daughter room clear as day i thought he was an intruder he walked through my kitchen into the hallway i was shocked holy shit someones in my house vut it was even weirder vecause this person made no noise what so ever as they walked through this man made eye contact with me as he was walking he walked roght through my daughter door of our old house and disappeared idk if my son seen him as he was actually closest to the door but he was only like 1 1/2 2 at the time and it happened so quick I set my son fsrther back on the bed as I got up from my perch and was right after this man i mean like 1 sec difference cause I was up before he even turned to go to her room he was just freaking gone.... I checked everywhere he was nowwhere and no other way out of that room but the door the windows were blocked by a table on the porch he wouldnt have been able to a get them open without struggle they were old wooden windows the house was old enough that it belonged to the very first postmaster of the town we lived in but people did die there but the man i seen was too modern to have been the original owner... And I never could find many records on the house as it was a super small town in Arkansas
@@DylanLawrence0905 no I chalked the guy i saw to a medication I had started that had hallucinations as a very rare side effects and I tend to catch the side effects since my ex fucked up mentally and physically 9 years ago now asshole .. Anyways otherwise ghosts entities etc have always been around us since i was a baby I think their attracted to my daughter because shes a child and can see but me idk I just know when their there I cant always see them but I can feel them i stopped seeing them fully when i was about 8 9 years old and I astral projected thats the only way I can describe it i watched my self walk down the driveway to my dad who was leaving and in this projection I saw a cat that had died weeks prior that I missed like crazy just sitting on our porch and when i got to my dad I like came back to myself and nothing lile that has ever happened again... Now I just see snippets of them around corners pretty sure ive got at least 1 shadow person here and possibly 1 other entity I dont know if the white lady left.... I think she white she wears a white floor length dress and has black hair like dark tendrils and her face is wrong but she has this air around her that like sizzled with dark and the dark is not getting my kids they cant have them
Ive seen all your old shows so many times for years on u tube and have enjoyed them thoroughly. You are an excellent storyteller. I know because I was always a great storyteller. Keep up the good work.
I don’t know how comfortable I’d feel about my 6YO staying out in the camper alone…even if it is a relatively safe and isolated place. With the dog. Maybe that’s just me. 😖
In 1953 (Damn, where DOES the time go?) I and my sister were living with our grandparents, I was 4, my sister was 3, so our bedtime was early in the evenings. My being here writing this is all the "proof" of the other side I need. My mother had been in an orphanage as a young child, and was extremely sick one night, she said she knew she was dying, but we're talking about the early 30's when this happened, and the orphanages weren't known for their "care" of the orphans, so she knew no one cared. My mother told me the room they slept in had no lights, it was pitch black at night, so there was nothing that could have cast what she saw, she said she saw her mother's eyes move across the wall and sit in the corner looking at her, and she heard her mother's voice tell her she was going to be OK, and she went to sleep. The next morning her fever had gone, and she got better almost immediately. While my mother was home alone one night in 1953, and I and my sister were at our grandparents house, she told me she was sitting in her chair reading when she saw movement out of the corner of her eye, and when she looked over she saw her mother's eyes in the corner of the room. She said that when she looked at them fully, the eyes moved across the wall and stopped above a picture of my grandparent's house. The picture fell off the wall and broke, and her mother's eyes disappeared. She came and got us immediately and took us home, she had to carry us because it was past our bedtime and we were falling asleep. Several hours later a can of paint too close to the furnace (coal burning) exploded, setting the basement on fire, almost trapping my grandfather downstairs when he had gone to check on what had exploded, the flames shot up through the stairwell (old house made of wood back then), cutting access off to the second floor, where my sister and I would have been sound asleep.The house burnt completely to the ground, my grandfather was slightly burned, my grandmother made it out safe. But my sister and I would have had no chance of rescue, we would have surely died that night. I have absolutely no reason to doubt or question what she told me, she wasn't a woman that made things up. So I've reached an age where I HAVE to admit - there is some strange shit happening. I've seen things I can't explain. There ARE spirits, demons, creatures, "shadow people", ghosts, poltergeists, and many other "supernatural" beings(?) out there, and that's a freaky thing to realize and accept. Where do you go from there?
You go to the history before "occult" deemed everything outside of Christian values evil to check your history and what you'll always have with you and that though scary as ever some are good and what you can bring along that will outnumber whatever evils find you. Feminine Devine is an old magic, mothers reaching out from the beyond for things like this is the absolute reason to believe.
I think we all have story's of something watching over us if you stop and think about it. Just a week ago my alarm didn't go off. I was a hour and a half late for work. I had to go out of town that morning and on the way back home was a bad wreak not knowing if it had to do with me over sleeping but I'm just Glad I wasn't their at that time
I fully believe children are susceptible to seeing things. Just the other day I'm almost positive my 5 month saw something... I also believe in "vibes/feelings" def whenever weird things happen, it unsettling. But, the majority of the time, the ghost isnt evil. I believe that they, like us could get lonely. And that's when we see a random thing happen that's out of the ordinary. I've also heard the more you feed into an energy, or talk about it, the worse it can get. Not going into a full story I guess, but my sisters ex lived in a house that u believe was some kind of port and some scary ass shit would happen. Needless to say, the feel is different when its malevolent..
So she didn't consider leaving the house after her kids told her all those creepy things happening, her vivid nightmares, their family dog getting lost and never returning even after her son's arm being brutally broken but she left because the ghost haunting her was not so nice after all. Very bright woman she is.
Hahaha Kid: “there is a monster!!!” Mom “there is no monster, inconceivable! No honey it’s just a deer!” Kid: “mom do you even know what a deer looks like” Mom: …….
In 2010, my husband, our 6 month old baby, and I rented an old house in a country town. My husband felt very uneasy when he was alone in it, even if he was only a couple of rooms away from us, but he chalked it up to watching too many horror flicks. He wouldn't cross the back yard to access the shed, or go into the cellar basement, at night. It thoroughly freaked him out. I must admit, even as a skeptic, that there were some very strange things about the place. I was a stay-at-home mom and quickly decided that if there was even a small chance of a threat to my family, especially since our baby and I were home alone almost all the time, some ground rules needed to be set. Even though I thought it was ridiculous, whenever I was alone and would hear an odd sound, I'd literally start lecturing the house, or whatever it was. I'd say "That's enough of that! This is MY home. I am not scared of you, so knock it off already." or " That's not nice. Behave!". I still thought it was silly, but none the less, it worked... for me and our baby anyway. We lived there for over a decade. I fell in love with that house and it's oddities. My husband never did feel safe there. (He's my ex-husband now. Not a kind man. I no longer wonder why that house never "liked" him.) BUT, he still lives there, and I only wish it was the other way around. That crazy old place made me (the skeptic) feel so safe. I think the scariest monsters are the live ones... and also that Karma might, maybe, sorta be a thing.
I am too, but it is possible that someone stole it to use for breeding, or to sell to another family for a pet, or wait to see if owners offer a reward.
I've seen videos of very smart dogs climbing the fence of their dog runs to escape. If this dog was terrorized while the family was gone it could have escaped to save itself, but not ever having been shown the neighborhood she didn't know how to get back home once her flight instincts wore off.
@MrBallen Oh man I wish I had seen this when you uploaded this! I live about `15-30 minutes away from Slanesville in Hampshire county, Eastern panhandle. First of all, family cemeteries are relatively common here. I had a co-worker who lived in the sticks halfway between my place and Slanesville, and his folks were buried on their land in a family cemetery. Also, West Virginians are exceptionally friendly and helpful. I can't count the times I've been helped out by strangers (I'm originally from DC) so much so that it convinced me to switch careers and become a resident!. I had an acquaintance 10ish years ago whose family had permissi9on to be on the bad man's" property. He knew that I went ghost hunting as a hobby, and asked if his mom could borrow some of my gear, to which I agreed. I had a full spectrum still camera and light, a k-2 metre, a spirit box... they didnt want to borrow my Thermal, Kinex camera full spectrum camcorder or any other gear. They returned my gear but said they couldn't find anything, but they did say they had some creepy voices come from the SB-7 spirit box and the K-2 flashed a few times. I checked out their photos. and most were the usual creepy abandoned farmhouse at night. Looking closely, I saw a smudge in one of the windows of the house. I enlarged it and saw a humanoid figure in the window. I showed it to the guy and he said a chill ran down his back, as did his mother's. I've not been to that house as I do not have permission, and do not know where it is. Unfortunately, the acquaintance moved away and I no longer have a way of getting into contact with them. I Love this state because it is so rich in history; much of it paranormal.
Husband takes his family out to the woods to live then stays with his mom, kids are terrified, mom is as bright as a brick, and Coco was stolen.......this is one of the most maddening stories!!
I think that's why this particular vid didn't provide us with some _real picture of whatever mentioned in the story._ I'm worrying that this one story was a fiction.
Soo did anyone notice that in the story when the guy looked into the van, he mentioned it was burned and there was kids toys in, but he doesn’t mention there being a body. A body is usually the first thing someone will notice. The old woman said that the put him inside the van and lit it on fire. He probably survived and was living in the woods watching that house. Which means when the kid said a monster grabbed his arm through the window and broke it. The monster he probably saw was that guy covered in burns making him look like a monster
What kind of parents let their child sleep outside in a camper on their own especially after finding a burnt out van with burnt stuffed animals for children in it?
A 5 year old child at that. That part really pissed me off. And that same night, her 3 year old son kept coming into her room telling her he's scared and there's a monster in/outside his room. And this woman just kept sending him back while her 5 year old daughter was in the RV. Dog or no dog, dog ain't gonna call 911 or be able to describe what happened should anything happen to this little girl.
Yeah - These parents haven't watched enough episodes of Mr Ballen They should have been discussing the possibilities of an exorcism on the house when the balloon incident happened.
@malanaya Whoa! The girl was only 5?? I didn’t catch her age, so after the mom gave her the go-ahead to camp out, I just started guessing her age to be around 10. I was already not loving the mother after she dismissed her son’s fears four times before even asking why he was afraid, so this just drops her down even further in my estimation.
Really irresponsible mother. Left the puppy outside alone when they weren't home?! Disgusting. Leaving a 5-year old outside at night probably not a good idea either.
As a lad living in Los Angeles, CA, my family and I lived next to The Odd Fellows Cemetery in Boyle Heights in the 1960s. I later learned that The Independent Order of Odd Fellows was an organization dedicated to promoting personal and social development and that this was a cemetery for its members. The cemetery was well maintained, with a significant chain link fence and hedge separating it from the largely urban setting along Whittier Blvd. We experienced no supernatural events that I remember except an occasional odd odor that wafted into our backyard. Mom told me it was the crematorium in operation (I always wondered how she knew that). I was 11 at the time and just happened to be reading about the crematoriums in the Nazi concentration and death camps - what a way to be introduced to the horrors of those camps.
I think there were multiple presences! At least one ghost boy was there with the balloon part and in the dreams, and he was probably one of the bad guy's victims who was buried against code out in the woods.
She was too stupid to feel anything else , are u kidding?? I don't see how she even has kids and a husband , because she is one of the slowest ppl he has ever described, in all his stories
Considering the ghost was probably the spirit of the man who hurt children, maybe he didn't make himself known to her initially? It seems the ghost boy was trying to warn her bc she wasn't seeing the man her kids saw.
I read somewhere that Blaire used to be visited by a little girl ghost. She even tried to play with her but the ghost wasn't interested. She used to visit Blaire every evening at the same time. Her mom dismissed it as just an imaginary friend. Blaire believed that the bad man got her brother and not her because of the protection from the girl ghost.
It’s also just something your brain does. Same as after you watch a horror movie or listen to a horror story, your mind starts making up things and you get scared and feel more on edge.
Knew right away this was gonna be a malicious spirit story when it offered the kid a balloon then let it fly up to the ceiling before she could grab it. People who mess around with kids like that are definitely not well intentioned.
Has all the earmarks of a horror movie: weird paranormal things, gaslighting of the kids as their being terrorized, inexplicable decisions by husband that leave them in danger, weird dreams. It’s got it all!
The mother just didnt have the instincts to do something about the weird occurrences her children and Coco were seeing. I hope nothing bad happened to Coco, and if it did, hopefully it was painless :(
@@loverlyme Its a common occurrence in supernatural situations. Animals can seemingly sense a "presence" people cannot. And children are so open minded they can see things adults do not as by the time we are adults we have a whole head full of "It's BS", "There ain't no ghosts", and "You're crazy" and so we see nothing until it is impossible to ignore; if ever.
When I was about 14 I lived in an apartment complex that had a thin strip of what used to be a wood behind it a K-12 school next to it and then more houses and housing complexes wrapped around the back of it. I used to take my dog and play in the "woods " it was not very big 5minit walk to the schools back fence 5 minute walk through the woods from the fence to the football feild. But it was very steep. I think that's why they never bothered to cut down the trees. I used to take my dog and play in there. I wasn't supposed to but... One Day my dog had wandered off chasing critters and a man popped up out of nowhere and asked me to come with him. I remember a woman's voice telling me "he's dangerous!" I pointed off to the side and told the man "She said not to." And he turned just as my snarling dog stepped out of the woods. I told my father about it years later, and told him I thought it was interesting that I'd given words to the dog's growling and demeanor. He told me that from the time I could talk, until I was about 10 I had full conversations with that dog, although the adults could only understand my side of the conversation. My mother once told me when I was 5 she'd screamed at me, gone to bed angry and when she slept she dreamt that my dog turned into her grandmother and chewed her out for not teaching me properly.
I stay with my mother right now, and our house is occupied by spirits. The story is that a guy (either the father or a son… I forget which one) accidentally killed himself by running his car through the house while drinking and driving. Slamming doors and other things have happened (unprovoked). I’m leaving out details, but they were not by anyone in the house… Not anyone alive anyway! We pulled up the VOX app, and were able to communicate. The spirit(s) is / are harmless here, but I don’t use that app here anymore… It was creepy! So yeah… I believe it!
I find myself glued to his story telling and go from one to the next. Very addictive. When I check I find that 3 or more hours have gone by. I'm retired so I have the time. But I find so much of my time was so consumed. I allow it because John is so great telling the stories.
I mean is she wrong though. My child would have told my ass the same thing nah mom I don't want it following me you good though lol. This whole story is a mess though. I cam imagine Mr Ballen like wtf every 5 mins w this one.
Ok that made me laugh - it's silly the mum wouldn't just comfort her kids and let them stay with her for a bit or she lay down with them till they fall asleep then go back to her own room :/

Coco protecting the child warmed my heart to the core
True unlike the mother who thinks everything is a fucking deer 🦌.
Coco was the intruder all along. I can confirm it, cause i was the courtains
@@thomasfeuz7238 😳😳😳
Too bad they didn't do the same for Coco. The love Coco had for the family unfortunately was not the same love the family had for him. I truly doubt they morned Cocos loss for longer than just a few days. I would of taken my dogs with me, I love my dogs as if they were my own. There is nothing I wouldn't do for 'em.
@@nuviaerivez5876 I agree with you to a point, but a lot of people that own land or farms get dogs that live outside. Their job is to watch the land, it's not exactly the same as a house pet. They have a role in the family, just like the people do. But usually these dogs are trained to patrol the land, they're not locked up in a section of fence. If they were going to contain her, there's no reason she shouldn't of just been in the house instead.
After you're child gets his arm broken overnight by the monster. Seems like a good time to maybe call off of work for a few days
EXACTLY! What kind of father leaves for a week the morning after something or someone possibly broke his child's arm. There is no way in hell I could leave my family without a car like that.
Right? And did he actually say after 3 days the mom had to go BACK to the hospital to get the boy? Did she really leave him alone in the hospital for 3 days?!? When my son was in the hospital I barely left him long enough - with my husband- to go home and shower.
Sounds like a bs made up story

The first first mistake was deciding to move to West Virginia
Hahaha
I would have left the moment that balloon started walking
Lol.. That was the first thing I thought of..... Slainsville?!?
Was looking for this comment as soon as I heard him say it 🤣
As soon as he said that Coco was put in her outdoor cage, I knew something was going to happen to her.
Poor Coco, you were a great guard dog. Rest in peace. ❤
As soon as he said they bought a dog and called it Coco, I thought to myself that Coco wouldn’t be at the end of the video 😢
Such a beloved dog but they wouldn't
even keep him in the house. He was so well-behaved.
Cats are so much better than dogs.

@@bevieboop2334don't laugh, they'll scratch your ankle off
Honestly the saddest part of this story for me was when Coco went missing. I honestly wanted the dog to make some triumphant return or to just come back
It was heartbreaking

Same
Lmao @ the two “Same” comments right after “Something probably ate it alive or sucked its soul, like a dementor.”
he ate the dog
LITERALLY the last thing I would do if my daughter told me they saw a man running towards the house in the middle of the night, would be to put her back to bed and pretend nothing happened.
Not to mention letting a child sleep alone in am rv surrounded by woods.
That’s country folk stuff and I’m betting this happened years ago.
@@jakesneed3146 1991. Doesn’t feel like that long ago to me cause I was born in the 80s. Definitely different living back then.
Even ruling out the possibility of anything paranormal, my first thought would be "oh shit, someone's probably about to try to break in to my house!" So yeah, not ignoring it either way. lol
Trust me
She felt something tapping on her head....looks around and nothings there.
It's just a deer.
LOL
IM DEAD😂😂😂
🤣
Lol people who aren't from the woods 🤷♀️🦄
Seems normal for me
21:20 your small son broke his arm, your small daughter keeps seeing a weird figure lurking on your property, your young healthy loyal dog has gone missing without a trace, and you decide to leave them alone for several days without a reliable car?! Worse parents EVER!
Brian: Honey, there's a burned down van in the woods with children's toys and an old mattress
Belinda: *Deer*
🤣🤣🤣
From the tiny bit we heard about Brian he sounds like the smarter parent😂
Yeah, no.
I grew up in a rural area, and that is one hell of a red flag
Lol😅
That’s freaking funny, I laughed out loud on that one 🤣🤣 it’s gotta be a deer tapping on her head I mean they usually do that sort of thing when indoors. That Belinda is a piece of work herself 😜
Maybe coco packed her things and left. Coco like: Belinda thinks everything's a deer, she gonna get us all killed and I'm not staying for this foolery.
I truly hope that happened
Same.
You are so cold-hearted toward Belinda, yet caring about Coco. I'm so glad I'm not you.
That’s def what happened
@@paintedpony2935 give me a dog over a person every time, every time.
I think the most shocking part about this tale is that they didn't IMMEDIATELY call police when they found a pedophile van on their property
I was thinking the same thing
Probably because of the fact that it was clearly burnt to a crisp. If it still looked in working order with no issues then I'm sure they'd call or keep an eye out for the owner
Thought that was weird too.
i would've called the police immediately too
Hmm yeah... A van with a mattress and kids toys in the middle of your property burned or not.. police time fo sho
My anxiety immediately escalated to panic level when they decided to go into town and leave Coco in a cage in front of the house... WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU LEAVE THE DOG BEHIND IN PLACE THAT MAKES YOU FEEL UNSAFE?? Especially so defenseless locked in a cage and left in the open 😩 #justiceforCoco
That part really bothered me too; why would she leave Cocoa behind?? She sounded like a foolish woman for the most part.
Right!! It pissed me off when I heard she left Coco behind! Poor Coco….
😩
You’re not alone. I felt the same way. For context: our dog sleeps in bed with my husband and I after we swore that *this one would sleep in her kennel* But yeah, poor Cocoa 😢🐾
Yeah
That man killed coco for sure 🐾🐾💕🐕
The dog was protecting the family and was getting in the way
Rest in peace pup 🐶 💔
Coco was actually growling and baring her teeth at all of the bad decisions that Belinda and her husband had made. Legend has it that she leapt over the fence, ran back to Baltimore, moved in with a more competent family, and thoroughly enjoyed the remainder of her days.
Isn’t Coco female?
She is referred to as female throughout, and it’s even a feminine name.
@@Acidfrog475 Yes, she's a female

It's like finding a diamond in the rough😂
Im just happy to see Mr.Ballen..lol
Yes yes yes 🙌
Yeah right
The most frustrating & truly saddening part of this awful occurrence is the the dog was taken and never found. That broke my heart. Poor dog just protected that family and deserved better.
I agree,. That breaks my heart - to do anything to a dog is just horrible/unforgiveable
Yeah it broke mine too
Yep. Totally get the same reaction. I feel awful for the dog. I mean, I would have felt bad if one of the children had gone missing too, but there's something different around a missing animal that can't communicate with words. Despite the terrible act committed by the town's folks on this man, I can understand why they did what they did. There comes a point when you can't wait for the law to do its job. If people (in this case, kids) are in imminent danger you have to act NOW. I can't imagine how horrible a man this must have been if he was cruel or abusive when he was alive, and now, in death, still seems to have some power over people and animals.
I cringe whenever dogs are hurt, and I want to punish whoever did it to them.
Fuck the dog, what about the kids arm? Priorities eh.
Whenever you buy a house it's an actual law that the realtor is supposed to give you full disclosure of the history of the house. And if they don't then it's an automatic lawsuit.
Thanks for the fyi but this was like the 1980s or 69s there weren’t laws then skull😅
Within time windows, maybe 3 years, that’s true
I think it depends on the state.
That refers to any stigma that might be attached to the home, such as a suicide that took place there or if it had been used as a drug house, etc. Those things are required to be disclosed to any potential buyer.
It's likely different statutes that vary by region and also likely wasn't a thing at all at the time this story takes place.
Not true.
How does he tell a story so calmly, with no dramatics, and yet I'm on the edge of my seat the ENTIRE time legit terrified. Well done, sir.
He's a master of terror narrative. He's the oral Stephen King.
I think it's the music accompaniment... 😵
maybe cause of the music and totally over the top pictures ? :'D i mean "a figure that looks like a man" and shows a picture of a horror movie for 18+ years old :D
He probably writes it like a statement like a cop, his presentation and how he talks is very cop like. Very descriptive, its like you are there without it being overly graphic.
@@sam6235 I don't mean to laugh but that's funny 🤣 And here it is, 12:15am and I'm watching this getting ready to go outside to feed my stray kitties UGGGHHH 😵 Talk about a coronary 😱
Blaire: "Theres a man at the window"
Belinda: "It's a deer"
Blaire: "He has a shotgun"
Belinda: "Then it must be a Moose"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
No, I think that that was Mr. Ballen’s ad hoc contribution. You’re checking if we’re listening. YEAH, A MOOSE BONKING a window pane at night IN WEST VIRGINIA! Amazing! Your brain is still almost at the Canadian border. As you “know,” there probably is not ONE moose in WV, not even in a ZOO! Although a few mountain lions could be circus runaways living in northern Pennsylvania, the only MOOSEs in PA are the small town drinking clubs by that name. A moose in WV - - that tales the cake!
😂😂😂 this comment couldn't be more perfect
Bahaha!! I literally laughed out loud... Because EVERYONE knows that moose are die- hard grenade fans!
Bullwinkle Moose 🤣🤣🤣
The only thing I could think of for the first half of the story was “oh no don’t let anything happen to that dog” and for the next half of the story I was like “man poor coco”
Same 😔
I feel the exact same way! No one was touched until the dog “was taken” and then lil dudes arm was broken....
Dammit I read this before whatever happens actually happens!!!
I cried.
Me too.
I'm sorry. I'm a huge dog lover and that was just wrong to leave the dog. My dog would have been with me and my kids everywhere I went.
That part bothered me the most out of the whole story.
She was an irresponsible parent.
😢our dog is like a child to me, i adopted her when she was 2 months old, and my son was two and half, my son turned 13 beginning of this year, i couldn't stand it to hear they left the dog

Got me too. Poor pup.
The little puppy... I have tears i my eyes thinking about that. The poor puppy who was just trying to protect the family, did so well, and will never be seen by them again, nor will Coco ever be able to see them again, cuddle up with them again, do anything with them again... :(
Now I've just made myself even sadder... Why Coco, why??!!!

Thank you
im just rewatching old videos to pass the time, and damn coco’s disappearance hurts just as bad
It's crazy how the human body can detect something watching you during the night.
I agree. Fascinating stuff.
Humans have a magnetic field that extends approx 20ft & that field carries information.
I dunno, you seem to have slept through all the times I watched you...
@@deirdrebrydon5077 ly
We kind of have to. I mean biologically speaking Humans are not Apex predators, we are scavengers at worst and opportunistic at best. And we had to develop the ability to detect when something is watching or stalking us to survive. Now we have guns and other fancy tools to help us survive, but somethings from our ancient days still stick around and usually for a good reason.
The thing that most surprises me is the fact that people still manages to fall asleep even after being scared so much
When you're scared for your life like that your adrenaline is through the roof and when that adrenaline high is over you're exhausted. It's not like just going to sleep, its more like passing out from exhaustion.
Right? Id of been up all night holding a knife or some shit ready aye haha
When I go camping I put earplugs in my ears so I don't have to worry about a Sasquatch , and I drink plenty of beer to calm me down! @@wild_mike2906

I’ve actually had ghosts appear in my room
And I would be terrified
Then I passed out
Multiple times
The fact that the husband kept leaving his family with no transportation especially when the sons arm is broken wow. That's crazy.
He deserves to be taken into the woods.
@@k.acevedo6838I just laughed pretty hard at this😂
WV!
Also the staying away for the entire week? Unacceptable. If he was tired of the daily drive he could have at least driven back home midweek and made the drive again but to drive out Monday and return Friday? Is ridiculous, with 2 small children and a wife at home
So this may sound crazy, but not everyone works a corporate job where you can call off because of your son's injury. Try that isht with my boss n he'll be like...
-right, but is YOUR arm broken?
I never watch Mr Ballen's videos after dark, that way if I'm frightened by one of them I have the light of day to look upon. I'll watch something else that is cheerful and uplifting, and I get over the fright pretty quickly. But this one was creepier than usual. I'll still be over it by the time it's dark, but MAN! am I REALLY glad I didn't watch this at night.
I love how when Belinda says she can't stay there anymore her husband has her back without any hesitation or questions. He just came home from work and got his family out of there. That's how families should be, supportive of each other without question. I love it.
Yeah, methinks the father didnt really wanna be there to begin with because of the idiotic commute. Dunno whose idea it was to buy that house, but since Belinda had grown up in parts like that, I am guessing, it wasnt the husband's idea. he just saw the opening to get out of the terrible commute and he took it.
They left with out knowing where coco was
@@MetallicGC people think spirits and ghost can't hurt people or animals. Objects can also apport and reapport later right in front of you. Or when your gone. Watch the documentary on the Skoal experiments. Every attempt by science tried to debunk it. Including keeping the film chosen at random by the scientist in a locked box that they held. But the only key to the padlock wasn't in the room with them. Yet the spirits still were able to develope the film. 80 year old newspapers appeared with no yellowing or deteriorating with ink that hasn't been made in several decades

Let’s give a shoutout to all the kids who witness something crazy and whose parents didn’t believe them
Shout out accepted...had some crazy stuff happen around 5-8 years old. Feel my parents suspected something but 30+years later still no answer...only strange things I did like sleep walking. Still effects me to this day.
Came home and told my dad I just seen my best friend get killed. He said no you didn't as siren pass by and he goes ok maybe you did and nervously laughs which I laughed to it helped a bunch to be honest but to this day I don't think he realizes I seen my best friend get hit by a truck when he got off the bus.
True dat! I didn't witness something but had a neighbor tell my mom once that I pissed all over her car one day when I simply didn't do it but she believed him and grounded me for like a month. Parents just don't know when to believe kids I guess, but if my kid says anything about a man or a person coming anywhere near them in our house im going to at the least check it out or set up cameras or something
@@lucassmith1886 lol yeah man when I have kids, I'm going to believe them tell there's proof to the contrary. A judge 4-10 would be a good pew pew to have instead of cameras.

the saddest part is coco was probably killed after being taken. Killed for being a good girl protecting her family :(
She could of just ran off into the woods, but eventually starved to death. Sad either way. Just hope she escaped and eventually found a new home.

The loss of a beloved dog is so extremely difficult. I actually got teary eyed thinking about my little buddy that I love so much. Poor family.
If someone stole my dog I'd need to be medicated. The thought of not knowing if he's safe or if someone is hurting him would TORTURE me. 😭😭😭
When I was a kid, my family lost three dogs, thanks to some unknown assholes. I'm glad that those were the only pets we lost due to someone's deliberate actions. At least my wife and I have never had that problem with our cats. It's bad enough, when pets die of natural causes, without outside help...every single loss has always screwed me up for months, and in some cases, years. They're that important for my mental health...
If they loved her that much they shouldn't have kept her outside, just let her inside ffs
I’d rather listen to these stories than watch horror movies tbh...
Right?!? I'm with you there!!
Just the way he says the story’s make it a bit better then actual horror movies
Movies focus too much on celebs and special effects. The story is the least important.
His stories are more creepy because they aren’t fiction like most horror movies. That sense of security isn’t there when the events really happened.

@@Garrett8489 I'm with you. Don't mess with the dog.
Euggghhhhh, this hit hard! When I was a kid I was always SUPER freaked out by windows at night. If I had to close my curtains after dark I would close my eyes to do it. My biggest fear was seeing someone in the window. THEN as a teenager one time I got woken up really early in the morning by my friend who lived with us coming into my room before she went to work that day. She opened my bedroom door, turned on the light, but she didn't say anything. I was SUPER hung over, so I just sat up and could barely see and was like huh, what's up? But then she turned it back off, closed the door, and left for work out the backdoor beside my room. I could see her walk by through my curtains because it was still dark and the motion sensor light went off, then the back gate opened and she went to the front to her car. I figured she had needed something but didn't want to disturb me, so I went out in the hallway to get my cell out of my coat pocket from the night before and see what was up, since I was already awake. I couldn't find it anywhere, and was so upset I had lost it AGAIN, because my parents would give me shit for it. I went to our landline instead and called her cell. She answered very confused and groggy, asking why I was calling her at 4 am and waking her up. At first I was so confused, I was a kid really, and I was hung over, well probably still drunk actually. I just went what? You woke ME up on your way to work! She was like what are you talking about, I am in bed right now. It was only then that I realized someone had come into our back door, gone through my things in the hallway, taken my phone, and then come into my room.
I never told my parents about it because they were always giving me a hard time about forgetting to lock the back door. You can bet I never forgot to lock that door again after that! I also got a lock for my bedroom.

I am from southern WV, but reside in TN now. I was very intrigued by this video,, especially taking place in my homestate. I decided to finish watching this on Sunday night.
I am at home with my two toddlers because my husband works nights. I started this video after 11 p.m. and finally got my baby girl to sleep by 11:10 or 11:15. By 11:20 I was calling 911 because an intruder broke into my home and was in my daughter's room. Thank God she was with me in my bed with my other child. By the time I heard him stepping on her toys and them singing and making all the toy noises I let my dogs out of the room I was in and they chased him out of my back door.. he jumped the gate and was gone before I could even lay eyes one him. No one was hurt and nothing was taken.
I just thought it was worth telling everyone that I was watching a mrballen video while someone broke into my house. Something that has never happened to me before in my life.
I freak myself out enough as it is watching the strange, dark and mysterious, but I'm sure I'll be hyper vigilant from now on. Lol
omg im so glad you're ok
@@patriciacurtis349 thank you so much.
Omg so glad you are ok❤️
Praise God you are alright.
The best home security system are the singing toys. You can k ow they're there and still step on them lol.
rewatching many of these vids like most of his fans, watching the "hauntings" playlist and seeing MrBallen get more confident and slowly transform into the famous MrBallen who has his own book, live shows and podcasts makes me more happy than it should
Coco: *non-stop growling at a dark figure*
Blair: maybe it's my mom!
Mom: maybe its a deer!
nah it’s probably a deer 💀🦌
🤣🤣🤣
That’s my dogs name too. 🤣
😂😂😂😂
So, my child wakes up with a broken arm and I don’t investigate it as a mother? How did Belinda explain a complicated arm fracture to the hospital?
Probably told them it was just a deer
Why would they not stay at the hospital with the young one?
Also, Dad is like 'ah shit I have go to work tomorrow too' when his son appears to randomly have a broken arm while laying in bed. I wish that when people come up with these stories they don't make every stupid at every turn. The trope of the stupid character in a horror film/story doesn't mean they always have to make bad decisions.

Mr. Wick must've been busy somewhere else around the time this whole things happened
I’ve seen kids seeing something that us adults don’t see. I saw a program about a kid that knew names,places,how the person died(twin towers) knew security stuff only workers know. It’s very interesting. Nice one Mr B!!
Who out there in their right mind would leave Coco, their SOLE protector, alone AND in a cage...?? I would have left Coco loose INSIDE the house....just saying.....
Would’ve taken Coco w me
This family didn’t deserve coco
That was my same reaction and I have a dog named coco to so. I was supper upset 😡 with them.
@@annav7317 too*
The same when leaving her 6 year old in an RV and the same woman a monster running up to a window 2-3 times must be a deer.
I love how the dad just agreed to leave. That speaks to a strong marriage - trust that his wife wouldn't just decide something that extreme without good cause.
It does, sucks they have very underdeveloped survival instincts.
He agreed to leave after his son suffered the broken arm injury on that Sunday night. I'd leave too
I agree too. So many times things like this split people up. I was pleasantly surprised and really happy that he agreed.
I mean, I don’t know how strong their marriage was. Guy decided to only be with his family for like 2 days a week.
That’s exactly what I thought too, right away! I would be quick to say the same because I know me and mine are very chill and don’t exaggerate anything. So if it’s something that sudden and drastic, I’d take her word for it ASAP!
"They would never see Cocoa again." Well thanks for ripping our hearts out
Helllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllo there!
Didn't know you watched Mr.Ballen
@Grace Bressi yupp at that point I would invite every demon and ghost to fight me for it
I have a black lab and when I got her she looked exactly like the image of her. But my dog, her name is Riley, wouldn’t stop an intruder. There was a squirrel in my house about a foot in front of her face and she opened her eyes, exhaled, and went back to sleep 😂
Omg right!!! Made me snuggle my baby that much tighter
Is this story real is Coco lost 😭😢
The Mr Ballen phenomenon is great and what he's done for so many is wonderful. That said, I miss this....the original Mr. B...the 3, 4 or 5 x week show.
The frequency, of course, but also the delivery.
Did you not notice he was getting sick and pale and burnt out?! I'm glad he slowed down. He needed to rest.
"Welp, I tried. Humans are too dumb to leave, so I'm outtie." -Coco hopefully.
That's what I hope too!
Nope. Unfortunately Coco was consumed by the ghost
Animals know these things
Shut up

@@gdkpakman7112 😭😭
Imagine my horror when my 6 yr old comes to me and says there is a scary lady in a white dress that comes anf talks to her at night so she doesnt want to go to bed or be in her room... I figured she was just trying ro fight bedtime told her noone there goodnight I do believe in the supernatural have seen too much in my life not too... But again she likes to make up stories and stuff so I just figured it was her imagination... A cpl days later im walking theough and i walk past the door of her room and theres the scary white lady standing next to her bed looking at her... When i walked in to the room she was gone but I told her to leave my kid alone and my daughter hasnt said anything about her since... Yeah then there was the guy that walked into my daughter room clear as day i thought he was an intruder he walked through my kitchen into the hallway i was shocked holy shit someones in my house vut it was even weirder vecause this person made no noise what so ever as they walked through this man made eye contact with me as he was walking he walked roght through my daughter door of our old house and disappeared idk if my son seen him as he was actually closest to the door but he was only like 1 1/2 2 at the time and it happened so quick I set my son fsrther back on the bed as I got up from my perch and was right after this man i mean like 1 sec difference cause I was up before he even turned to go to her room he was just freaking gone.... I checked everywhere he was nowwhere and no other way out of that room but the door the windows were blocked by a table on the porch he wouldnt have been able to a get them open without struggle they were old wooden windows the house was old enough that it belonged to the very first postmaster of the town we lived in but people did die there but the man i seen was too modern to have been the original owner... And I never could find many records on the house as it was a super small town in Arkansas
@@Homemaker-eg2he That’s pretty creepy, do you have any idea of what that could’ve been or what happened?
@@DylanLawrence0905 no I chalked the guy i saw to a medication I had started that had hallucinations as a very rare side effects and I tend to catch the side effects since my ex fucked up mentally and physically 9 years ago now asshole .. Anyways otherwise ghosts entities etc have always been around us since i was a baby I think their attracted to my daughter because shes a child and can see but me idk I just know when their there I cant always see them but I can feel them i stopped seeing them fully when i was about 8 9 years old and I astral projected thats the only way I can describe it i watched my self walk down the driveway to my dad who was leaving and in this projection I saw a cat that had died weeks prior that I missed like crazy just sitting on our porch and when i got to my dad I like came back to myself and nothing lile that has ever happened again... Now I just see snippets of them around corners pretty sure ive got at least 1 shadow person here and possibly 1 other entity I dont know if the white lady left.... I think she white she wears a white floor length dress and has black hair like dark tendrils and her face is wrong but she has this air around her that like sizzled with dark and the dark is not getting my kids they cant have them

I don’t know how comfortable I’d feel about my 6YO staying out in the camper alone…even if it is a relatively safe and isolated place. With the dog. Maybe that’s just me. 😖
Don't know if you have kids or not, but either way your instincts would be correct, sir. To me, this is a DUH 🙄🤦🏻♀️
Uugh this made me so mad that she let her 6yo stay in a camper. I'm so glad someone else noticed that.
HELL NO!!!

🤣 damn
In 1953 (Damn, where DOES the time go?) I and my sister were living with our grandparents, I was 4, my sister was 3, so our bedtime was early in the evenings. My being here writing this is all the "proof" of the other side I need.
My mother had been in an orphanage as a young child, and was extremely sick one night, she said she knew she was dying, but we're talking about the early 30's when this happened, and the orphanages weren't known for their "care" of the orphans, so she knew no one cared. My mother told me the room they slept in had no lights, it was pitch black at night, so there was nothing that could have cast what she saw, she said she saw her mother's eyes move across the wall and sit in the corner looking at her, and she heard her mother's voice tell her she was going to be OK, and she went to sleep.
The next morning her fever had gone, and she got better almost immediately.
While my mother was home alone one night in 1953, and I and my sister were at our grandparents house, she told me she was sitting in her chair reading when she saw movement out of the corner of her eye, and when she looked over she saw her mother's eyes in the corner of the room. She said that when she looked at them fully, the eyes moved across the wall and stopped above a picture of my grandparent's house. The picture fell off the wall and broke, and her mother's eyes disappeared. She came and got us immediately and took us home, she had to carry us because it was past our bedtime and we were falling asleep.
Several hours later a can of paint too close to the furnace (coal burning) exploded, setting the basement on fire, almost trapping my grandfather downstairs when he had gone to check on what had exploded, the flames shot up through the stairwell (old house made of wood back then), cutting access off to the second floor, where my sister and I would have been sound asleep.The house burnt completely to the ground, my grandfather was slightly burned, my grandmother made it out safe. But my sister and I would have had no chance of rescue, we would have surely died that night.
I have absolutely no reason to doubt or question what she told me, she wasn't a woman that made things up.
So I've reached an age where I HAVE to admit - there is some strange shit happening. I've seen things I can't explain.
There ARE spirits, demons, creatures, "shadow people", ghosts, poltergeists, and many other "supernatural" beings(?) out there, and that's a freaky thing to realize and accept. Where do you go from there?
You go to the history before "occult" deemed everything outside of Christian values evil to check your history and what you'll always have with you and that though scary as ever some are good and what you can bring along that will outnumber whatever evils find you.
Feminine Devine is an old magic, mothers reaching out from the beyond for things like this is the absolute reason to believe.
I think we all have story's of something watching over us if you stop and think about it. Just a week ago my alarm didn't go off. I was a hour and a half late for work. I had to go out of town that morning and on the way back home was a bad wreak not knowing if it had to do with me over sleeping but I'm just Glad I wasn't their at that time
I fully believe children are susceptible to seeing things. Just the other day I'm almost positive my 5 month saw something... I also believe in "vibes/feelings" def whenever weird things happen, it unsettling. But, the majority of the time, the ghost isnt evil. I believe that they, like us could get lonely. And that's when we see a random thing happen that's out of the ordinary. I've also heard the more you feed into an energy, or talk about it, the worse it can get.
Not going into a full story I guess, but my sisters ex lived in a house that u believe was some kind of port and some scary ass shit would happen. Needless to say, the feel is different when its malevolent..
You turn to Jesus Chist, is where you go from there.
You are the best narrator out there to the point I enjoy your narration more than videos online.
The fact that the dog was on top of blaire protecting her 🥺 awe
She died for them.
animals are the best
Ikr 🥺
We don't deserve dogs
I know right, they are so loyal. I would fight to the death for my dog just like she would for me
So she didn't consider leaving the house after her kids told her all those creepy things happening, her vivid nightmares, their family dog getting lost and never returning even after her son's arm being brutally broken but she left because the ghost haunting her was not so nice after all.
Very bright woman she is.
She clearly didn't want her kids molested by some pervert ghost, some of us have morals.
Yea....
Yea I would've left after the balloon.
She probably thought it was just a deer that came into her son’s room and broke his arm. Or a moose 🫎
Well, she might be smart for moonshine territory.
It’s haunted and a good thing that woman told her the real story before something worse happened.
like the dog to go missing forever?
I just hope one of the neighbors took the dog and took care of it. Labodores are loving and they always glad to see u and excited and smart.

Oh God. LOL 😂😂 Heart attack
In 2010, my husband, our 6 month old baby, and I rented an old house in a country town. My husband felt very uneasy when he was alone in it, even if he was only a couple of rooms away from us, but he chalked it up to watching too many horror flicks. He wouldn't cross the back yard to access the shed, or go into the cellar basement, at night. It thoroughly freaked him out. I must admit, even as a skeptic, that there were some very strange things about the place.
I was a stay-at-home mom and quickly decided that if there was even a small chance of a threat to my family, especially since our baby and I were home alone almost all the time, some ground rules needed to be set. Even though I thought it was ridiculous, whenever I was alone and would hear an odd sound, I'd literally start lecturing the house, or whatever it was. I'd say "That's enough of that! This is MY home. I am not scared of you, so knock it off already." or " That's not nice. Behave!". I still thought it was silly, but none the less, it worked... for me and our baby anyway.
We lived there for over a decade. I fell in love with that house and it's oddities. My husband never did feel safe there.
(He's my ex-husband now. Not a kind man. I no longer wonder why that house never "liked" him.)
BUT, he still lives there, and I only wish it was the other way around. That crazy old place made me (the skeptic) feel so safe. I think the scariest monsters are the live ones... and also that Karma might, maybe, sorta be a thing.
This guy just says the stories in such a good way
Absolutely agree, he's a natural storyteller
Love how he acts out what is happening in to story too
I will literally listen to a story that I usually wouldn't click because he always makes it interesting
Military probably
Right? Like I'm totally addicted. I've watched every video multiple times
I loved the story, but i'm still sad that their dog is missing.... forever...
I am too, but it is possible that someone stole it to use for breeding, or to sell to another family for a pet, or wait to see if owners offer a reward.
I've seen videos of very smart dogs climbing the fence of their dog runs to escape. If this dog was terrorized while the family was gone it could have escaped to save itself, but not ever having been shown the neighborhood she didn't know how to get back home once her flight instincts wore off.
It was just the doggos deer buddy that let him out of imprisonement and they ran away together
I haven’t watched The Whole video yet but.... WHAT!?! 😭😂
@@hifuqua good point

@MrBallen
Oh man I wish I had seen this when you uploaded this!
I live about `15-30 minutes away from Slanesville in Hampshire county, Eastern panhandle. First of all, family cemeteries are relatively common here. I had a co-worker who lived in the sticks halfway between my place and Slanesville, and his folks were buried on their land in a family cemetery. Also, West Virginians are exceptionally friendly and helpful. I can't count the times I've been helped out by strangers (I'm originally from DC) so much so that it convinced me to switch careers and become a resident!.
I had an acquaintance 10ish years ago whose family had permissi9on to be on the
bad man's" property. He knew that I went ghost hunting as a hobby, and asked if his mom could borrow some of my gear, to which I agreed. I had a full spectrum still camera and light, a k-2 metre, a spirit box... they didnt want to borrow my Thermal, Kinex camera full spectrum camcorder or any other gear.
They returned my gear but said they couldn't find anything, but they did say they had some creepy voices come from the SB-7 spirit box and the K-2 flashed a few times. I checked out their photos. and most were the usual creepy abandoned farmhouse at night. Looking closely, I saw a smudge in one of the windows of the house. I enlarged it and saw a humanoid figure in the window. I showed it to the guy and he said a chill ran down his back, as did his mother's.
I've not been to that house as I do not have permission, and do not know where it is. Unfortunately, the acquaintance moved away and I no longer have a way of getting into contact with them.
I Love this state because it is so rich in history; much of it paranormal.
Husband takes his family out to the woods to live then stays with his mom, kids are terrified, mom is as bright as a brick, and Coco was stolen.......this is one of the most maddening stories!!
I think that's why this particular vid didn't provide us with some _real picture of whatever mentioned in the story._
I'm worrying that this one story was a fiction.
This one didn’t piss me off as much as the Dr. Ramsay one.
@@erikadee8668
Excuse me..
Either I'm too tired, too high, or have simply gone slow.. but, which Dr. Ramsay story was that, again?
@@NugChannel the one where the little girl was being followed by the man that said he was a pediatrician
@@erikadee8668
Ahh yes. That one, thanks for reminding.
So Mr. Ballen covered that title as well..
Soo did anyone notice that in the story when the guy looked into the van, he mentioned it was burned and there was kids toys in, but he doesn’t mention there being a body. A body is usually the first thing someone will notice. The old woman said that the put him inside the van and lit it on fire. He probably survived and was living in the woods watching that house. Which means when the kid said a monster grabbed his arm through the window and broke it. The monster he probably saw was that guy covered in burns making him look like a monster
They could have disposed off the body.
He probably eventually died is what I'm thinkin
Interesting theory.
Yeah no lol
@taiyabazaheer9492 he said they never found his body
What kind of parents let their child sleep outside in a camper on their own especially after finding a burnt out van with burnt stuffed animals for children in it?
A 5 year old child at that. That part really pissed me off. And that same night, her 3 year old son kept coming into her room telling her he's scared and there's a monster in/outside his room. And this woman just kept sending him back while her 5 year old daughter was in the RV. Dog or no dog, dog ain't gonna call 911 or be able to describe what happened should anything happen to this little girl.
@@malanaya1813 yeh. Not good parenting anyway.
Yeah - These parents haven't watched enough episodes of Mr Ballen
They should have been discussing the possibilities of an exorcism on the house when the balloon incident happened.
@malanaya Whoa! The girl was only 5?? I didn’t catch her age, so after the mom gave her the go-ahead to camp out, I just started guessing her age to be around 10. I was already not loving the mother after she dismissed her son’s fears four times before even asking why he was afraid, so this just drops her down even further in my estimation.
Really irresponsible mother. Left the puppy outside alone when they weren't home?! Disgusting. Leaving a 5-year old outside at night probably not a good idea either.
As a lad living in Los Angeles, CA, my family and I lived next to The Odd Fellows Cemetery in Boyle Heights in the 1960s. I later learned that The Independent Order of Odd Fellows was an organization dedicated to promoting personal and social development and that this was a cemetery for its members. The cemetery was well maintained, with a significant chain link fence and hedge separating it from the largely urban setting along Whittier Blvd. We experienced no supernatural events that I remember except an occasional odd odor that wafted into our backyard. Mom told me it was the crematorium in operation (I always wondered how she knew that). I was 11 at the time and just happened to be reading about the crematoriums in the Nazi concentration and death camps - what a way to be introduced to the horrors of those camps.
It’s weird how she only felt like the presence was evil, AFTER she heard the story of the man hurting kids. 🤦♂️
I think there were multiple presences! At least one ghost boy was there with the balloon part and in the dreams, and he was probably one of the bad guy's victims who was buried against code out in the woods.
She was too stupid to feel anything else , are u kidding?? I don't see how she even has kids and a husband , because she is one of the slowest ppl he has ever described, in all his stories
Considering the ghost was probably the spirit of the man who hurt children, maybe he didn't make himself known to her initially? It seems the ghost boy was trying to warn her bc she wasn't seeing the man her kids saw.
I read somewhere that Blaire used to be visited by a little girl ghost. She even tried to play with her but the ghost wasn't interested. She used to visit Blaire every evening at the same time. Her mom dismissed it as just an imaginary friend. Blaire believed that the bad man got her brother and not her because of the protection from the girl ghost.
It’s also just something your brain does. Same as after you watch a horror movie or listen to a horror story, your mind starts making up things and you get scared and feel more on edge.

The mother just didnt have the instincts to do something about the weird occurrences her children and Coco were seeing. I hope nothing bad happened to Coco, and if it did, hopefully it was painless :(
It's funny isn't it, how the children and the dog were able to see something but the mother only saw things when she was dreaming.
@@loverlyme Its a common occurrence in supernatural situations. Animals can seemingly sense a "presence" people cannot. And children are so open minded they can see things adults do not as by the time we are adults we have a whole head full of "It's BS", "There ain't no ghosts", and "You're crazy" and so we see nothing until it is impossible to ignore; if ever.
Given that the ghost broke the boy’s arm, I doubt the dog’s fate was painless 😣
When I was about 14 I lived in an apartment complex that had a thin strip of what used to be a wood behind it a K-12 school next to it and then more houses and housing complexes wrapped around the back of it. I used to take my dog and play in the "woods " it was not very big 5minit walk to the schools back fence 5 minute walk through the woods from the fence to the football feild. But it was very steep. I think that's why they never bothered to cut down the trees.
I used to take my dog and play in there. I wasn't supposed to but...
One Day my dog had wandered off chasing critters and a man popped up out of nowhere and asked me to come with him. I remember a woman's voice telling me "he's dangerous!" I pointed off to the side and told the man "She said not to." And he turned just as my snarling dog stepped out of the woods. I told my father about it years later, and told him I thought it was interesting that I'd given words to the dog's growling and demeanor. He told me that from the time I could talk, until I was about 10 I had full conversations with that dog, although the adults could only understand my side of the conversation. My mother once told me when I was 5 she'd screamed at me, gone to bed angry and when she slept she dreamt that my dog turned into her grandmother and chewed her out for not teaching me properly.

I stay with my mother right now, and our house is occupied by spirits. The story is that a guy (either the father or a son… I forget which one) accidentally killed himself by running his car through the house while drinking and driving. Slamming doors and other things have happened (unprovoked). I’m leaving out details, but they were not by anyone in the house… Not anyone alive anyway! We pulled up the VOX app, and were able to communicate. The spirit(s) is / are harmless here, but I don’t use that app here anymore… It was creepy! So yeah… I believe it!
I find myself glued to his story telling and go from one to the next. Very addictive. When I check I find that 3 or more hours have gone by. I'm retired so I have the time. But I find so much of my time was so consumed. I allow it because John is so great telling the stories.

Ok that made me laugh - it's silly the mum wouldn't just comfort her kids and let them stay with her for a bit or she lay down with them till they fall asleep then go back to her own room :/
Coco was taken because she was the one alerting the family that there was something there
I had the same thought.
I was SO SAD because the dog went missing.. 😭 i have a black lab too and i couldn't even imagine the pain of losing her. 💔😥
Poor Coco!
