BLESS YOU BROTHER!! KEEP UP YOUR DETERMINATION AND COURAGE!!! AND GOD KEEP YOU ON THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW PATH AND GIVE YOU THE ENDURANCE TO SEE YOU THROUGH, AND MR. BALLEN TO FINISH UP YOUR BATTLE--VICTORIOUS!!! AMEN!!!
@@D1987Gd Honestly I'm going camping with friend's this weekend. I'm going to tell some of these stories around the camp fire. Scare the shit out of everyone!!! The Story telling won't be as good... I'll have to practice 🤣
it's actually a whistling sound. Aztec warriors made skull shaped whistles that sounded like that, and would blow into them as a battle cry to scare their opponents. They're called Aztec death whistles, in case you want to google them
I died lmao!! Scared the shit out of me. My speakers in my car are so loud and I have my volume up pretty loud, the "scream" made me jump. I was expecting a little whistle.
I’m a 60-year-old guy originally from the hills of central Alabama. We don’t have any Bigfoots that I know of, nor any moth men or UFO encounters. But we certainly heard of while growing up all about the Pacific Northwest Bigfoot. Hell, who didn’t back in the 1970s? Bigfoot/Sasquatch was a huge phenomenal subject back in those days; even the ABC TV show “The Six Million Dollar Man” had a two-episode fight between Steve Austin and Bigfoot.😂😂🇺🇸 I’m now living in Spokane, Washington, and have been up here almost 35 months. Bigfoot is a VERY serious thing up here in these parts. I once saw a car bumper sticker say “Bigfoot doesn’t believe in you either”. Man, my heart almost came out of my chest because of the laughter. 😂😂👨🏻🦳🇺🇸👍🎸🏈 Roll Tide.
@@kimberlyswader5140 I want you to pay attention on Saturday, August 31st. The entire Alabama team will be charged with attempted murder after the game. Ms. Swader: “Why that’s awful! How can you predict such a horrible outcome?” Me: “Easy Mam. Those Alabama players are going to half-kill the other team. It will be gruesome, it will be shocking, and there will be calls/pleads to the President (we don’t have one now) to stop these imminent Crimson Tide massacres.” 😁😁😁👨🏻🦳🇺🇸🐘🏈🇺🇸
did hear of wild men in Northern Alabama when I would visit my family, but most thought they were just moonshiners or others who had been out in the woods too long.
@@VadulTharys Rest assure, in Alabama, EVERY county has their own Wildman. 😁😁 If anything, we have our haunted houses. In fact, there is a book out there called “Thirteen Alabama Ghosts.” In that book, there is an opening photograph taken at a home in Selma. And in that photo, you can see a frightening shadow on the wall behind a woman during photography. She didn’t know it was there. To this day, experts analyzing that photo cannot explain what that shadow is.
I picture Bigfoot sitting at a table with his family, telling them how he tried to introduce himself to a group of hunters, but got shot at, so he got pissed and decided to fuck up their cabin
What came 1st, this story or Missing 411? This is WAY to similar to other stories to be a coincidence. This many people do not 'make up' they exact same stories having never met each other!! These things are real! Who wants to start Organization Ballen whose sole mission is to find their lair and record their existence once and for all!!!?? Don't forget that the massive aggression came after getting shot at. I gotta back and see also because I know there were missing people without guns but IIRC a whole Bunch were huntes and kids, and kds 'usually' made it back alive somehow (You'd think it would be the other way around.)
I'm so glad 3 years ago I found Mrballens channel I was suffering a very dark ànd deep depression, his enthusiasm for these types of stories and tales helped me more than everything else had to that point and where nothing else helped . I always look forward each week to get to listen to what new stories the dark and mysterious has in offer up.. Mrballen is an incredible story teller. UA-cam would be kinda boring without a Mrballen upload, you know it's gonna be exciting, terrifying, and mysterious each and every time... THANK YOU MRBALLEN FOR BEING YOU.. KEEP UP THE WORK, WE ALL LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR VIDEOS
@@marie6660 yes mate,I moved to UK bout 2 years ago my bro stayed in states to do UA-cam and army,he was a marine for 3 years,and he's the best bro in the world,love u bro
Fred Beck is/was my step dad’s uncle. The whole family, including myself, still live in Washington state. I can account for this story and tell you that there is some crazy stuff here in the PNW. It’s so cool to hear his story shared :) thanks for the great story telling

I love that he found stories where these creatures minding their own business when they come across a human and then the humans do something stupid and the creature are just like " yeah no, you need to leave our forest if your gonna be rude"
I live in the woods of Missouri and have heard things that would make you go back inside the house. Its only happened once but I will never forget it. I bring protection with me now when I head into the woods.
Johnny, I have listened to "The Facts at How to Hunt", for 3 years now. Thousands have had contact with Sasquatch over the years. They are strong, mysterious, baffling abilities, but very real. People are not just imagining stuff. Nobody's got time for that.
Same, heard odd shit when I lived in branson. Heard scarier ones in N.C. blue ridge mountains when I lived there. Like, I LIVED up in the mountains. Scary ass sh!t.
These were the golden days of the channel. Posts 5 times a week and supernatural big foot stories. I appreciate the true crime stories we get now but I miss these type of stories.
I’ve been watching for 5 years. But, I did the same thing at first. Try not to go through them too fast or you’ll be like me, anticipating the next video cause you’ve already watched all of the others, lol.
This is by far my favourite channel on YT. I’m a longtime listener and I’m so happy to have a copy of the new graphic novel. Not just because it’s an incredible pile of stories and gorgeous artwork, but because it feels like a milestone of your journey. Medical mysteries is awesome too! 🙏
You just know he'd kill at telling you why he picked each shirt any his history with them hahaha. But, it's still gonna be added to the watch later list lol
Of all of the story tellers on youtube, no one is as thorough, or presents the details as interestingly as MrBallen. Thank you for the greatest stories.
Scary Interesting is very well informative, not as immersive as Mr. Ballen I think Scary Interesting did a significantly better job at covering the Plura cave. Sometimes the three stories in one can be hurtful to the content
The level of detail and immersive kind of story telling this guy is delivering is insane. I wish there was a daily for this! Freaking awesome i have binged every episode in about a week.
I hunted the same woods as Mike Wooley when I was a teenager into my early 20’s. There’s some ridiculously strange sightings that a lot of people have had here. I haven’t seen anything but I’ve definitely heard quite a few stories. Michael Wooley passed away in 2019.
Sounds like a beautiful but darkly lighted location considering that there is something in your perimeter that could potentially eat you ? I believe that when you go into a location that is notorious for Bigfoot sightings and a grizzly bear can fool a human by showing them different facts but actually keeps you guessing what your eyes are actually seeing? I definitely do believe that these people were seeing something however if this person has never had an encounter with a real live huge grizzly bear in its natural elements shit tends to get seriously crazy? If I was hun
Hearing stories is totally different than having an up and close experience as some people have supposed encounters with something that they totally didn't think existed??? They are there or they are not plain and simple? Not saying that something doesn't exist out there but if it does where is all the signs of life?
@@kurthartz9282 that’s kinda my line of thinking too. The woods around here have tens of thousands of wildlife cameras in them. There’s not much chance something could avoid discovery.
Somebody said that the Sasquatch has been spotted in every state in the USA and Canada. How could a Sasquatch hide in Kansas or North Dakota? Nobody sees a Sasquatch in Saskatchewan. If you lived on a farm in SK and your dog ran away you would see the dog for three days.
@@BagofBeansz There is a barn near where I live that has a man-sized metal cutout of a squatch leaning against the side, and it strikes me as so hilariously random out in the middle of the countryside 😆
When I watched the video of Mike Wooley telling his story, there was no doubt in my mind that this man was telling the absolute truth. A 50 something year old man, shaking and tearing up as he related the events of that day. My hair stood on end listening to him. It's important to note that Mike was an avid hunter who went into the woods 3 or 4 times a week to hunt. He has never gone hunting again. He had people ask him, of course "Why didn't you just shoot it Mike" He was adamant in saying he could not. It was too human. And told these people that he doubted they could have either. Fascinating story and I could hear the fear in this man's voice all these years later. Thanks John. Great video as usual
@@RrealHumdingerR both bigfoot and ghost need you to just believe something you probly havnt seen and never will. I am skeptical but open to bigfoot. Ghosts are real.

I'll bet his opposition was thinking just how nice he was too as he lined up cross Hairs on them... switched to night view. Listened as his comms cracked to life.. permission to engage. Remove enemy combatant. (Roger..... *pewwwww*..... ''shots fired... m.a.m down"). I ll bet the Talibanis were just a singing his praises!!! Lol Mr. BALLEN is a Seal team 2 Navy Seal vet. I for one am just thrilled with how he has been able to find a niche' that he is good at. And that he enjoys doing. It's amazing just how talented some folks are. And all the above joking aside. I agree. He does seem like a very nice, approachable person!
Oh, they know humans are real. That's why they stay as far away from us as possible. Even when we consider ourselves on doing good by nature, we screw it up.
My dad was a trouble shooter for a large company so we moved every 3 or 4 years. When I was in 4th grade we lived in Southern Indiana. We had 140 acres this time. Pigeon river ran down the east side of our property. There was a ridge that jetted out over a slough from the river. My brother and his friend decided to build a log cabin on the top of that ridge. The entire east side of the property was all woods. So, they cut down several trees and using the tractor to lift the logs into place. They had built the walls up to about head height. In a couple of days. Sometime during the week. Something had taken all of those logs and scattered them in all directions. Like they were twigs. Needless to say we avoided that ridge from then on. There were 3 other incidents that were very scary that happened while we lived there. But no one ever actually got to see it/them. Including all of us hearing it walking down in the slough breaking through the ice. That sounded like 2 footed. As our German shepherd cowered behind us. PS never heard any whistling.
Lots of Big Foot channels. Mr B's colorful communication skills are among the best creature encounter recreations I have heard. Hoping for more, many more Big Foot stories, Mr B.
Man thatt was chillin😭😭 the way u lay out theses story literally scares the hell outta people im addicted to ur stories been binge watchin two days straight lol
@@MrBallen love your vids!! Your personal ghost story blew me away. I had a ghost experience where it felt like they were sitting on the edges of my bed and there was pressure on my feet. I immediately knew ghosts were real but i couldn't see them. It lasted at least a minute or 2. I thought my mom was checking up on me when i heard light footsteps coming up to me bed, i was facing away, so i played possum, then something sat on my feet but not hard, more like a pillow being pressed down but the springs in the bed creeked amd the middle stiffened up as the sides of my bed were also pressed down. It changed my life and still, though i have tried and studied every bullshit scientific theory, i cannot explain it away and more weird things happened to my father when he was young. There are so many of us and all we get is ridicule from those who deny this stuff exists. How can thousands of reliable witnesses be wrong. There is more evidence for ghosts, bigfoot and aliens than can be explained away. If just 1% is true, that means it's real. You are a rockstar story teller!! I can't get enough. Thank you!!!
@@bearacuda3338 I've noticed that being sensitive to the paranormal is hereditary. My best friend saw spirits most of her life, grew up in a house that was haunted. She told me that both her mother and her maternal grandfather could also see spirits.
@@MrBallen Apparently, they whistle just like humans but instead of whistling with their tongues rolled like humans they instead whistle with their mouths open from their throats. Pretty interesting
Why would you treat the like button so nice.... ? its a worthless good for nothing mistake of a stupid ugly ass like button. Dont feel obligated to be nice to it. Now get a cup of hot coffee and pour it on the like button while laughing at it.
Washington state hunter here. Been hunting this state for the better part of 23 years. 2 years ago I would have said the whistling is just a marmot, the howling is just a cougar (our cats get upwards of 200lbs here) but after my last two hunts... I don't know, I heard something and experienced something I absolutely can't explain in the 203 North Cascades GMU. Growling around my tent, whistling in the night, several tree knocks I got on GoPro and the most intense high volume -talking train horn loud gutteral howling from below me in the canyon just after 4 am. The 203 is a no access no vehicle GMU, you have to back country pack in on foot or horse. No access roads, very few trails, it borders the northern part of the PCT. I have no plans for a high buck hunt in the North Cascades at this point ever again.
The way John tells his story is like he’s sitting right in front of me and I actually found myself shaking my head at one point like, “omg, really?!” Yeah, he’s that good!😂👍
Ever since I recently watched a handful of Mr Ballen’s videos that had sound effects added to them, I have stopped watching them alone in my dark bedroom. Last night I was watching one of his videos about a family in a cabin who were stalked all night by 5 “creatures” that growled at them from the darkness...and yo, I was not prepared for that level of goosebumps. I’m a 45 year old man and I legit wanted my mom in that moment 😂👍🏼
Really funny Mr Ballen! That “Whistling” sounds effect was not no damn whistle lol and right when u thought it was safe and settle back into the story boom que fcn banshee scream!
Actually it sounds like the Aztec Death Whistle, look it up - it sounds like something screaming, they used them when hunting / fighting other tribes. Really disturbing sound
@@walterbrunswick 😅 Best comment!! Although......he didnt answer and there were no pics of BF or whatever in the News. 🤔 Hope he had a good time and is just to lazy to answer or he never went there anyway. Who knows?
1984 I saw what could only be described as a bigfoot squatting down on the edge of a river, while taking my dog for an early morning walk. It never saw me, but I stared at it with my hand on my sidearm for a good 5mins. It was about 50m away, and looked like it was washing something off in the water then eating it. I've been back to that area dozens of times, and sized it to be at least the size of a large Grizzly, except I live in the NE. It was grey in color and had patches of hair/fur missing on it's back (I was viewing from behind). I eventually backed away and left. Never told anyone.
On Buckey bigfoot a youtube story teller of bigfoot, she told one account of a lady that saw 2 bigfoot fighting and the noise they made was so loud as they smashed into one another, thankfully she got up a tree and they never knew she was there,she was scared in place anyway.But one did kill the other and THEN he ripped it's arm off and ate it,and dragged the dead one off. SO maybe that is why we never hear of seeing bodies..they most likely do not waste a thing,and to maintain that weight omg they'd have to eat some huge amounts of food/meat. Some say they are very ape like but then apes do not eat meat.
I spent 20 years in the army - first as an infantry paratrooper - then later as an M1 tank platoon sergeant. POINT IS: I spent a lot of time in the field and recognize McBallen's story-telling skills and style as similar to mine and other combat vets learned telling other bored soldiers stories about all kinds of stuff while in the field for ages. Every group has its great story tellers that bored soldiers/sailors seek out. I can 'see' his former servicemen gathered about as he told stories while serving wherever. Great job -
I saw Mike Wooley tell his story maybe three different times over the years, before he died. His story never changed. He spent his life hunting every chance he could. This man never went back into the woods hunting ever again. RIP MR.WOOLEY 🙏
I'm confused. "He.....hunted every chance he could" "....never went back into woods hunting ever again." Where did he hunt? And if not in the woods, WHAT did he hunt? Birds, squirrels? I'm from the Rockies & Texas. In West Texas there's small deer & wild boar (javelina). East Texas, squirrels. Not an expert, but interested in Wooley's story and your comment seem contradictory. Thanks.
I just started following Mr.Ballen and I have been losing so much sleep watching this! Thank you for your service to our country and for this great channel!
Mr. B Allen is killing it yo, almost 10 million. I remember watching well before a million lol ... Times flying now im older, i hate my babys getting older so fast shes not a baby nomore😢
Big foot a possibly dangerous monster and this is where your mind goes. Sounds like you need to go get your tiny helper from the nightstand and do something about that. Not judging, I have caught myself doing the same thing, just not with big foot.
Can’t wait to tell my story of the ones that I met for over five months. The mother is wise beyond words. The son is curious and caring and helpful. The father is the protector. The daughter is quiet and shy. Yes, they have families and the ones thank God, I met, are kind beyond words.
How does he do it?! He’s just casually telling us spooky stories in a completely chill tone, and yet my heart flew outta my chest when the cord of my headphones brushed against my arm! 😂😅😂
Ballen: "He said he heard this whistling beside him" *plays a loud scream soundbyte* "and then he heard it on the other side of him" *plays another loud scream soundbyte* The hell is going on? Have I misunderstood what a whistle is my whole life?
Haha haha! Hey everyone makes a goof sometimes... MrBallen is human after all! Too funny tho....especially your comment...lol! Be safe, stay healthy - -Cheers
I just Love how you position your hands when you describe how people point their weapons,TRUE SERVICE MAN. THANK YOU THANK YOU I'm Very Proud of All of you Brave men
Hey John, this was the first video that I saw of your content and had me hooked. Some of your stuff is a little bit extra but for the most part mate, just awesome. Keep up the good work bud and I will continue to support you and spread the love. Good onya mate.
My dad claims one time in his early twenties that he was stalked by a bigfoot in the Ozark area of Arkansas. He was out fishing late one night and it was around midnight or so when he decided he was done and was walking back home. Still in the woods he heard something heavy following him on the other side of the river. When he looked over he couldn't see anything in the trees, but when he stopped whatever was following him stopped too. Thinking it was a bear or mountain lion about to charge across the shallow waters to get him, he chucked a rock in hopes that it would scare the creature away... But it threw a rock back. My dad hustled out of there as fast as he could and by the time he made it to the road the creature was gone. I understand a bear following him, but a bear wouldn't be able to throw a rock back and the creature sounded too big to be a human to him. Ever since that day my dad's been obsessed woth bigfoot.
@@chuckythedoll4815 I lived on the Ozarks and around Beaver Lake for years and never saw anything funny. I've gotten lost in the woods several times before. The only thing creepy I ever found were the old abandoned homes surrounding and inside the lake. There was an ampitheater that when the water receeded you could sit on the top two tiers and then down the bend was old foundations of houses and further down was a hotel like building that had so much grafitti in it. Interesting place, but very creepy.
It is 3 am, dark, and we're at the lake. I have the windows open while watching this. That whistle made me get up and look. I have since closed all windows. Not taking any chances.
Same. The first time I watched this it was around 4am and I actually had to pause and replay the video a few times to make sure it was the video and not some creature in my yard🤣🤣
I used to live in a pretty heavily wooded area. I pretty much had no parental supervision so I just roamed the countryside. I used to hike far into the woods because their was old abandoned homes and sometimes cars. I used to be amazed by this because there was clearly no roads or even trails. Anyway on one of my all day adventures I came out of some very think woods where apparently there was a patch of sand in a predominantly clay area. The tall pine trees took full advantage. It was very strange because the pines where almost in rows. I had amazing vision, I still have better than 20/20 at 41yrs old. As I was walking I seen the slightest movement. I froze and just stared. I could see a black ball of fur just to the side of the tree. It was to far up to be a person. I thought maybe it was something clinging to the side of the tree. I brought my hands up slowly to my face to make binoculars to limit my field of view. My grandpa taught my this. Just as my fingers moved in front of my line of sight, it was gone. I started to get a very uneasy feeling. The hair rose on my neck and I got goosebumps. I remember feeling like a cat was stalking me. Maybe a 100yrds there was a open field with very tall grass that lead to the swamp at the back of our property. I slowly walked sideways to keep a eye in the direction where I seen the object. I heard a rock bounce off a few trees. I knew cats can't throw rocks. I remember thinking something is distracting me like a diversion a kid would do to draw attention else where or possibly warning me. I booked it but every 20 yards or so I would stop and turn around quickly hoping to get a glimpse or have a opportunity to face whatever was following me. Then I flat out booked it about 50yrds into the tall grass and jumped down to listen for any other movement in the grass. I didn't hear anything. I walked about 200yrds backwards watching behind me. I was very confident what ever it was stayed in the tree line but I was taking no chances. That was the only time I ever felt spooked in the woods. The woods where my entire life back then all day, everyday. I stayed out of the woods for about a week after that. I would go back and explore but the area was purchased by a very wealthy man that fenced in many miles of land and actually put up a massive house and barn in the field I ran across. If anything was there, I'm sure it moved. I haven't really shared the story because if you can't 100% say what you saw, you don't want to say at all. I shared it with my wife and now all of you under a mask of anonymity provided by the internet.
Abounded like an absolute thrill but being a wimpy teen I would have just curled into the fetal position and accepted my fate I admire how sharp you were to think and I can tell you must be very proud of getting out of that situation
Wait till you hear a pack of coyotes hunting right outside your tent. They sound like a pack of demons when the all start yipping after a kill. Then then wait till you hear a Mountain Lion scream it sounds like a witch. I don't go into the woods with out a gun and a thermal device anymore lol.
Great stories, mr.ballen, always keep me interested and on the edge of my seat. Real-life stories that are very interesting and intriguing, love listening!
tbf he does leave out many details in his true events stories, but I assume that is for how he likes to tell the stories, and what makes it seem more clean or smooth in his storytelling.
The suspense this guy makes is incredible. I get chills geez 😂
Glad you are enjoying these videos!
MrBallen they are epic ur my fav UA-camr and I watch ur TikToks 😁😆
He was made to do this. I'd rather listen to him then watch a show with re-enactments in it. He deserves all the praise

Mr Ballen stories remind me of the old radio horror stories, but his are more rooted in reality.

“Heard a strange whistling sound”

it's actually a whistling sound. Aztec warriors made skull shaped whistles that sounded like that, and would blow into them as a battle cry to scare their opponents. They're called Aztec death whistles, in case you want to google them
Ok Same man😂

I thought it sounded like the cries the Troglodytes made from the film Bone Tomahawk, send chills down my spin.
Next time someone asks me if I can whistle...I’m gonna say yes and then scream like that...

I can't stop laughing!!!

I'm so glad 3 years ago I found Mrballens channel I was suffering a very dark ànd deep depression, his enthusiasm for these types of stories and tales helped me more than everything else had to that point and where nothing else helped . I always look forward each week to get to listen to what new stories the dark and mysterious has in offer up.. Mrballen is an incredible story teller. UA-cam would be kinda boring without a Mrballen upload, you know it's gonna be exciting, terrifying, and mysterious each and every time... THANK YOU MRBALLEN FOR BEING YOU.. KEEP UP THE WORK, WE ALL LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR VIDEOS

I live in the woods of Missouri and have heard things that would make you go back inside the house. Its only happened once but I will never forget it. I bring protection with me now when I head into the woods.
Johnny, I have listened to "The Facts at How to Hunt", for 3 years now. Thousands have had contact with Sasquatch over the years. They are strong, mysterious, baffling abilities, but very real. People are not just imagining stuff. Nobody's got time for that.

I never thought you could get addicted to listening to someone tell stories it’s absolutely insane! Been listen to this guys for almost 2 weeks now😂
Yo. Me too!
It’s called a life. Look into getting one.
Every single Bigfoot story I hear has one thing in common. The whistling.
Yesssss I noticed that too... creepy
A lot of scientists and researchers suggest that this is how they communicate with each other. Still is proper creepy though haha
And snapping of branches/trees.
The whistling that sounds nothing like whistling?
Somebody actually analysed the sound back in the day and they essentially identified a complex language within those whistles.

I hunted the same woods as Mike Wooley when I was a teenager into my early 20’s. There’s some ridiculously strange sightings that a lot of people have had here. I haven’t seen anything but I’ve definitely heard quite a few stories. Michael Wooley passed away in 2019.

Hearing stories is totally different than having an up and close experience as some people have supposed encounters with something that they totally didn't think existed??? They are there or they are not plain and simple? Not saying that something doesn't exist out there but if it does where is all the signs of life?
@@kurthartz9282 that’s kinda my line of thinking too. The woods around here have tens of thousands of wildlife cameras in them. There’s not much chance something could avoid discovery.
I got serious chills during the second story the instant he said Mike heard whistling.
If I've learned anything from his stories is that 1. The terrain is always rugged and 2. The search is always massive.
Somebody said that the Sasquatch has been spotted in every state in the USA and Canada. How could a Sasquatch hide in Kansas or North Dakota? Nobody sees a Sasquatch in Saskatchewan. If you lived on a farm in SK and your dog ran away you would see the dog for three days.

When I watched the video of Mike Wooley telling his story, there was no doubt in my mind that this man was telling the absolute truth. A 50 something year old man, shaking and tearing up as he related the events of that day. My hair stood on end listening to him. It's important to note that Mike was an avid hunter who went into the woods 3 or 4 times a week to hunt. He has never gone hunting again. He had people ask him, of course "Why didn't you just shoot it Mike" He was adamant in saying he could not. It was too human. And told these people that he doubted they could have either. Fascinating story and I could hear the fear in this man's voice all these years later.

Mr. BALLEN is a Seal team 2 Navy Seal vet. I for one am just thrilled with how he has been able to find a niche' that he is good at. And that he enjoys doing. It's amazing just how talented some folks are.
And all the above joking aside. I agree. He does seem like a very nice, approachable person!

Mike Wooley's description of his encounter never changed in nearly forty years so I gotta believe his story was genuine. RIP, Mike.
My dad was a trouble shooter for a large company so we moved every 3 or 4 years. When I was in 4th grade we lived in Southern Indiana. We had 140 acres this time. Pigeon river ran down the east side of our property. There was a ridge that jetted out over a slough from the river. My brother and his friend decided to build a log cabin on the top of that ridge. The entire east side of the property was all woods. So, they cut down several trees and using the tractor to lift the logs into place. They had built the walls up to about head height. In a couple of days. Sometime during the week. Something had taken all of those logs and scattered them in all directions. Like they were twigs. Needless to say we avoided that ridge from then on. There were 3 other incidents that were very scary that happened while we lived there. But no one ever actually got to see it/them. Including all of us hearing it walking down in the slough breaking through the ice. That sounded like 2 footed. As our German shepherd cowered behind us.
PS never heard any whistling.
So, never really contemplated multiple Sasquatch. Would they be “big foots” or “big feet” ?
@KING TOAD Hahaha, yes. I like that a lot.
It’s big foots.

I immediately knew ghosts were real but i couldn't see them. It lasted at least a minute or 2. I thought my mom was checking up on me when i heard light footsteps coming up to me bed, i was facing away, so i played possum, then something sat on my feet but not hard, more like a pillow being pressed down but the springs in the bed creeked amd the middle stiffened up as the sides of my bed were also pressed down. It changed my life and still, though i have tried and studied every bullshit scientific theory, i cannot explain it away and more weird things happened to my father when he was young. There are so many of us and all we get is ridicule from those who deny this stuff exists. How can thousands of reliable witnesses be wrong. There is more evidence for ghosts, bigfoot and aliens than can be explained away. If just 1% is true, that means it's real.

Washington state hunter here. Been hunting this state for the better part of 23 years. 2 years ago I would have said the whistling is just a marmot, the howling is just a cougar (our cats get upwards of 200lbs here) but after my last two hunts... I don't know, I heard something and experienced something I absolutely can't explain in the 203 North Cascades GMU. Growling around my tent, whistling in the night, several tree knocks I got on GoPro and the most intense high volume -talking train horn loud gutteral howling from below me in the canyon just after 4 am. The 203 is a no access no vehicle GMU, you have to back country pack in on foot or horse. No access roads, very few trails, it borders the northern part of the PCT. I have no plans for a high buck hunt in the North Cascades at this point ever again.

Ever since I recently watched a handful of Mr Ballen’s videos that had sound effects added to them, I have stopped watching them alone in my dark bedroom.

1984 I saw what could only be described as a bigfoot squatting down on the edge of a river, while taking my dog for an early morning walk. It never saw me, but I stared at it with my hand on my sidearm for a good 5mins. It was about 50m away, and looked like it was washing something off in the water then eating it. I've been back to that area dozens of times, and sized it to be at least the size of a large Grizzly, except I live in the NE. It was grey in color and had patches of hair/fur missing on it's back (I was viewing from behind). I eventually backed away and left. Never told anyone.
You should share your story with Steve at How To Hunt UA-cam channel!
@@Thisismetman Yes.. exactly what I was thinking!!
And your dog never barked at it?
On Buckey bigfoot a youtube story teller of bigfoot, she told one account of a lady that saw 2 bigfoot fighting and the noise they made was so loud as they smashed into one another, thankfully she got up a tree and they never knew she was there,she was scared in place anyway.But one did kill the other and THEN he ripped it's arm off and ate it,and dragged the dead one off. SO maybe that is why we never hear of seeing bodies..they most likely do not waste a thing,and to maintain that weight omg they'd have to eat some huge amounts of food/meat. Some say they are very ape like but then apes do not eat meat.
That sounds really cool yet scary!
I believe your story Btw
I spent 20 years in the army - first as an infantry paratrooper - then later as an M1 tank platoon sergeant. POINT IS: I spent a lot of time in the field and recognize McBallen's story-telling skills and style as similar to mine and other combat vets learned telling other bored soldiers stories about all kinds of stuff while in the field for ages. Every group has its great story tellers that bored soldiers/sailors seek out. I can 'see' his former servicemen gathered about as he told stories while serving wherever. Great job -

Hey John, this was the first video that I saw of your content and had me hooked. Some of your stuff is a little bit extra but for the most part mate, just awesome. Keep up the good work bud and I will continue to support you and spread the love. Good onya mate.
My dad claims one time in his early twenties that he was stalked by a bigfoot in the Ozark area of Arkansas. He was out fishing late one night and it was around midnight or so when he decided he was done and was walking back home. Still in the woods he heard something heavy following him on the other side of the river. When he looked over he couldn't see anything in the trees, but when he stopped whatever was following him stopped too. Thinking it was a bear or mountain lion about to charge across the shallow waters to get him, he chucked a rock in hopes that it would scare the creature away... But it threw a rock back. My dad hustled out of there as fast as he could and by the time he made it to the road the creature was gone. I understand a bear following him, but a bear wouldn't be able to throw a rock back and the creature sounded too big to be a human to him. Ever since that day my dad's been obsessed woth bigfoot.
Hell na br
You can be certain that was no bear.
Tell your dad he's not alone. I had multiple altercations with them in Northern Arkansas in Ozarks.
@@chuckythedoll4815 I lived on the Ozarks and around Beaver Lake for years and never saw anything funny. I've gotten lost in the woods several times before. The only thing creepy I ever found were the old abandoned homes surrounding and inside the lake. There was an ampitheater that when the water receeded you could sit on the top two tiers and then down the bend was old foundations of houses and further down was a hotel like building that had so much grafitti in it. Interesting place, but very creepy.
Big foots not real, it was definitely me that did that, and it was a catfish that I threw at him.
i think you and i have a different thought about what whistling is.
They are all the same plaid shirt.
LOL
When I used to flirt with women, they would often “whistle” like that. 👀
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hmmm maybe your flirting was off 🤣
lol, clever and self-deprecating love it
Sounds like a solid mating call you've got going on 🤣
Self-roast
That's a rare one
Mr Ballen is a great story teller. 🇸🇪
The whistling sound that he played scared the crap out of me 😂
It is 3 am, dark, and we're at the lake. I have the windows open while watching this. That whistle made me get up and look. I have since closed all windows. Not taking any chances.
Me too🤣🤣🤣😳
Same. The first time I watched this it was around 4am and I actually had to pause and replay the video a few times to make sure it was the video and not some creature in my yard🤣🤣
same 😭😂😂😂😂
Sounded like the Aztec death whistle. Creepy af
I used to live in a pretty heavily wooded area. I pretty much had no parental supervision so I just roamed the countryside. I used to hike far into the woods because their was old abandoned homes and sometimes cars. I used to be amazed by this because there was clearly no roads or even trails. Anyway on one of my all day adventures I came out of some very think woods where apparently there was a patch of sand in a predominantly clay area. The tall pine trees took full advantage. It was very strange because the pines where almost in rows. I had amazing vision, I still have better than 20/20 at 41yrs old. As I was walking I seen the slightest movement. I froze and just stared. I could see a black ball of fur just to the side of the tree. It was to far up to be a person. I thought maybe it was something clinging to the side of the tree. I brought my hands up slowly to my face to make binoculars to limit my field of view. My grandpa taught my this. Just as my fingers moved in front of my line of sight, it was gone. I started to get a very uneasy feeling. The hair rose on my neck and I got goosebumps. I remember feeling like a cat was stalking me. Maybe a 100yrds there was a open field with very tall grass that lead to the swamp at the back of our property. I slowly walked sideways to keep a eye in the direction where I seen the object. I heard a rock bounce off a few trees. I knew cats can't throw rocks. I remember thinking something is distracting me like a diversion a kid would do to draw attention else where or possibly warning me. I booked it but every 20 yards or so I would stop and turn around quickly hoping to get a glimpse or have a opportunity to face whatever was following me. Then I flat out booked it about 50yrds into the tall grass and jumped down to listen for any other movement in the grass. I didn't hear anything. I walked about 200yrds backwards watching behind me. I was very confident what ever it was stayed in the tree line but I was taking no chances. That was the only time I ever felt spooked in the woods. The woods where my entire life back then all day, everyday. I stayed out of the woods for about a week after that. I would go back and explore but the area was purchased by a very wealthy man that fenced in many miles of land and actually put up a massive house and barn in the field I ran across. If anything was there, I'm sure it moved. I haven't really shared the story because if you can't 100% say what you saw, you don't want to say at all. I shared it with my wife and now all of you under a mask of anonymity provided by the internet.
Great story, yes I've seen a few things that I really don't feel comfortable sharing with anyone or very few people , so I know what you mean.
I believe you!
Abounded like an absolute thrill but being a wimpy teen I would have just curled into the fetal position and accepted my fate I admire how sharp you were to think and I can tell you must be very proud of getting out of that situation
For me your are lucky to have such a experience i am bored living in one room
Thank you for sharing that.👍
If I ever hear whistling in the forest, I am going to freak out.
I’ll never forget it
there is whistling in the forest all the time. birds
@@lonewanderer7126 I think that's a little different bird whistles and how a "person" whistles. I'm thinking that's what she meant lol.
Wait till you hear a pack of coyotes hunting right outside your tent. They sound like a pack of demons when the all start yipping after a kill. Then then wait till you hear a Mountain Lion scream it sounds like a witch. I don't go into the woods with out a gun and a thermal device anymore lol.
Fuck a whistle, if I even hear so much as a TWIG snap, I'm outta there! 😂😂
Great stories, mr.ballen, always keep me interested and on the edge of my seat. Real-life stories that are very interesting and intriguing, love listening!
The amount of detail and specificity Mr.Ballen uses in his storytelling in unmatched
tbf he does leave out many details in his true events stories, but I assume that is for how he likes to tell the stories, and what makes it seem more clean or smooth in his storytelling.
