I love how specific the captions on the images are, they crack me up. “Real photo of different trout”
😂
😂🤍💯
😂😂
Well you don’t want the trout suing for using his image.
I like that
I’m not a legal expert or criminal psychologist or anything like that, but I kinda feel like maybe we should stop releasing convicted murderers back into society.
You may be on to something
You would think so right? This justice system is all fugged up
If I had my way they would be sent to the after life
They're there to help the communists take power. They are evil . "It's NOT about you it's about SELF" is their troll 🧌 mind . that's the religion 📐 of the cheese head 👁️
It’s called rehabilitation and it’s a good thing! Vote blue 😊
I love it when the victims survive to tell their story, and go on to have a better life then their attacker ever could have
Dude, the way you told the story in this one was so good. Giving us details about 2 hiker killed and telling us who killed them then diving into how it went down was amazing. You completely messed my head up but it was so good.
yo do you watch the mickael knowles show? i could have sworn I've seen you in the live streams
Wow. I was NOT expecting the twists in this story. Incredibly cool that Sean and Scott survived, especially considering the types of wounds they suffered. Just wow.
Really?!? It was so obviously Ricky. Weirdo living in the woods with his dog... mesmerized by the glint off of the campers knives...
It was well told that you were thinking in that Sean and Scott were the bad guys, then the twists.
I was saying 'aww ricky sounds just like a poor old man if they do anything to him...! 🥺😢'
And than that 😮
It was also the order of the events. Ricky turned around BEFORE the loud bang. As a text-based roleplayer and someone who knows how fkd up humans are, a few of these twists have surprised me... Sadly this one did not. Still a good story.
I was expecting it. Because dog owners are known to be pure wicked individuals.
That last picture of Sean and Scott standing next to each other really put it into perspective just how big Sean really is. Wow!!
Dude is a mountain of a man. I was thinking the whole time "no chance a dude is that much bigger than his friend". I stand terribly corrected.
@@dusfitzThat old bastard was lucky this guy could have destroyed him
being big saved his life it seems , which saved Sean’s
Ren & Stimpy.
I suffered two strokes last year at 51 years of age and have some eye sight deficit. I listen to your videos/stories when I’m conducting my therapy. I really enjoy your story telling, keep up the good work brother. 😊
I hope you make a complete recovery.❤️🩹
WHAT HAPPENED TO RANDELS DOG THO !!!!
The dog bo was adopted by a loving family according to the original post! I was was worried too, but now we can relax
🤓🤓🤓
The fact that he was paroled for "good behavior" after killing two people is insane...
I guess that’s one of the cons of jails/prisons that practice rehabilitation 😊
Or dude had a fucking jesus as a lawyer lol
15 years for a double homicide seems kinda short.
It happens way too much.
@@AwesomeFish12the golden rule, he who has the gold, makes the rules.
The phrase "biting the hand that feeds you" comes to mind. This is scary. Imagine trying to help someone you believe is in need and they use it against you to cause harm. Sometimes it's difficult to tell who really needs help.
You give some people an inch and they take a mile. If you do something nice for them they just see you as an easy victim. They don't feel grateful for kindness at all.
Yes well, unfortunately psychopaths blend into society like chameleons. They wear that infamous mask of sanity…😬
Follow your conscience, but trust your instincts too.

Unfortunately, it's not unusual - you only have to look at the number of assaults on paramedics and medical staff. I know a few paramedics and they all have stories to tell.
This was about two of my best friends in high school. Just shows you that your life can change at anytime good or bad.
Yup It's now your own responsibility now to keep yourself safe in an upside-down world
@@thenoticer9054lmao it always was our responsibility
What amazing guys. This story is a tribute to their bravery and willingness to survive.
Very clever telling the tale from the killer's viewpoint so I thought there was a 4th guy hidden in the woods.
His fear at being with Sean & feeling nervous at Seans size.
Lotsa red herrings to confuse just like M. Night Shyamalan would do.
Certainly confused me!
Great story Mr. Ballen 👌🏻
Sean and Scott are beautiful souls. Need more people like them in this world.

Scott and Sean are amazing. getting shot in the face, neck and chest, and still survived the whole ordeal... that's incredible!
I got shot twice in the same sitting and i survived am i amazing?
@@joeopossibly. Why were you shot?
Either that or the people who shot him had bad aim ??? 😅
@@joeoyes
Dang I just started watching 😢
I’m so glad Mr Ballen is finally getting the fame he deserves, I’ve been watching him for 4 years and I’m very happy that he’s finally starting to blow up
Holy crap. I’m a huge true crime lover, follow many true crime channels/podcast etc but no one tells stories like this! Usually you know what’s gonna happen in the story from the beginning but this channel is SO different! Been binge watching since I discovered this awesome channel and have been genuinely surprised with almost every video! Best channel on YT hands down!!!
Check out ICMAP 🙂 if not already. I guarantee you'll love their podcast!
Me too, got a new subscriber 😂
It’s so cringe
So glad Ricky didn't steal their joy, and they still go back for fishing and camping! Those are my favorite endings when hearing a story like this! 🎣
seriously
Learn some etiquette and place a spoiler discretion
Ngl this comment bogus as hell cause I spoiled the entire video. Like ur comment is the comment where when we click we see ur comment. Should’ve put a spoiler warning up
Me too! I think it really speak for their strength of mind and heart.
I can't imagine, especially that first time going back out for a trip, how surreal and jarring it must have been. I know I probably would have just called it quits, unfortunately. It would be so hard to relax and trust your surroundings and any people you come across again.
@@makhicaples6608 ok so watch the video first before going to the comments
LMAO at “not a real photo of Ricky’s fishing line” 😂
I loved that too 😂
My son and I crack up, watching the captions to the photos!!!
Me2
😹
Not to mention "real photo of different fish"
Sean and Scott are legends, so glad they recovered
great guys for wanting to make sure he was okay, i'm glad that they've continued doing what brings them joy.
I really love listening to you. I'm a 56 yr old woman. My house burned down a month ago and then while staying with my daughter I fell down the stairs and broke four ribs. I have been so depressed, but listening to you has helped me get through all of this. Keep up the great stories.
I will be praying for you, Joyce. You are going through a really rough season, lean on the Lord as much as you can. It will be okay. ❤️
Sorry to hear that Joyce. Wishing you blessings and a speedy recovery. 💕
Please stay strong. You’ve been through so much, and I know it can feel so hopeless but don’t give up. You are more than the bad things that have happened to you and I wish you all the best.
😮 this made me so sad! I hope you get well soon!
Feel better Joyce🙏
I’m so glad MrBallen is starting to do more of the mysterious scary stories he used to do. Good ol’ bump in the night horror stories hit different
I always enjoy Mr Ballen, but I miss some of the cave diving/exploring stories
These stories are way better when you’re hunting. And you have to walk back in the dark, alone.
This story was really not a good story if you have to add fake emotions that you would not know ricky was thinking. I'm sorry but this was bad
He already did this story. You haven’t noticed he’s been repeating his older stories on Sundays. It’s really getting irritating.
Facts
OMG... you have a way of telling stories that keep you on the edge of your seat and heart thumping. True talent
I absolutely love Run Fool! I love the way it’s told from his pov. It really immerses you, and the plot twist is always so satisfying! He’s so good!
seriously, i was genuinely surprised about Sean and Scott surviving those wounds. like my god, their insanely brave!
In a reddit channel talking in detail about Randall, the OP has stated that "You may be pleased to hear that Bo has since been adopted, and given a home with a loving, caring family who feed and walk him regularly"
I am SO happy about this.
I needed to know what happened to the dog.
Thank you 🙌 I was just about to try and find out what happened. I appreciate you.
Thank you. You are the amazing amazingest of amazing
So happy to hear that 🐶🙂
thank you!! i just listened to this story and posted the question. I had to know the dog was OK..
i absolutely love the way you tell these stories. the order always has me on edge waiting for what is going to happen next i love it so much! love your vids!!!
So relieved the two guys pulled through and still enjoy life. What a nightmare for them. 😢 God bless them. 🙏
I'm shocked to hear that Sean and Scott are still going to the Dismal Creek after all that. I could never. Brave men! Awesome job Mr. Ballen!!
Maybe they think it couldn't get much worse than that. Lol.
They banished the evil that was there, so they can camp safely now. Like a good ending to a horror movie!
I'm only allowed to speak though something is wrong. I would like the truth but see how they treat you. These words are accepted, try to speak the truth you will be rejected. I wanna tell the truth!!! That is not ex cepted
If bruh was alive they would've let him out after 2 years😂 "gOoD bEhAvIoR" lol. @@rokukou
I think I'd feel safe to go back given that the source of the horrors died shortly after
Wow, Sean and Scott are very brave. I sure as heck wouldn't ever go camping again after experiencing that!! But props to them for not letting it ruin their enjoyment of the great outdoors.
I was thinking the same thing.
Maybe because the guy was dead they weren’t afraid he would come after them. Plus I’m sure they bring a gun with them. It might be a way to reclaim their life?
I definitely couldn’t do it.
That Chapter told this story waaay better in his forest/park compilation, I love ballen but he made it soooo cluttered with details and crap about the fish haha, that chapter did a much better job explaining the incident, the escape, the important stuff without padding, I think it's also called Appalachian murders, missing hiker is the killer. Ballen adds a bit too much flair and the goofy stuff from the fake supernatural stories haha
@@KaladinVegapunk if you don’t like how he does stories, Why are you on his channel and watching his videos??
@@KaladinVegapunkyou can leave anytime
@@mickeyj4996How are they supposed to judge the story if they don't watch the video?
There's nothing wrong with critiquing a video you watch or expressing that you disliked something about a video you've watched. Not everyone has to like every video put out by Mr Ballen and that's OK.
You're still so good at telling stories. Love it
Certainly one of the best stories you've told, MrBallen! Very well thought out, dude!
Mr. Ballen, please bring back those nostalgic, mysterious, spooky stories like you created in the infancy of your channel. They just hit differently! And you know, to really put the like button in its place.
Yes!!
Yes!!
Yes!
Agreed
Yes please!
Man, the way you wrote this story is just incredible, i was feeling really bad for ricky at first and just feeling his pain of embarrassment and "starving" but that plot twist through me so off guard, im so glad scott and sean are not only alive but are doing well, thank you for covering this story and true crime in general in the amazing way only you know how to tell them! 😀
You mean threw.
@leslieannvanhumbeck7630 yeah lol

I feel completely opposite. I love this channel, but i feel basically this was a lie just to make this story intersting. He basically lies when telling the story, so its a "twist" at the end. Normally this a a true crime channel. but this was like he turned it into his own movie, wasnt true at all until the end, which I found to be annoying. To each his own i guess.
@@joeymims5852yeah, he constantly told us how Ricky felt with these two guys, i.e. uneasy, suspicious. Obviously stuff like that is made up. I'm always aware of things like that but I still like listening to the stories.
Love your work. It takes a lot of time and effort to research and put these videos and podcasts together
Love the captivating storytelling and ultimate, inevitable plot twists!
Never disappointed!
Thank you, MrBallen. ❤️
15 years and parole after murdering 2 people…?! The justice system in this country is completely broken. It’s a miracle that the 2 men survived when they could’ve easily been two more murders. I hope these 2 men sued the hell out of the state for releasing this man.
Added to the unbelievable justice system you guys have to put up with- the mental health system is even worse! If your mental health system was in some sort of reasonable shape, Ricky would have been shipped off to a mental health secure hospital years before this. They may not have been able to 'cure' him but at least wouldn't have let him out until he was mentally stable. He seemed to be pretty good at fooling people and keeping it all under control though- he managed to live with the ankle bracelet for a decade first!
Sean and Scott should sue.
Yes I was shocked 😲 after hearing that. The system truly is broken. People get put into prison for longer periods for far less serious crimes.
It has been proved that extend prison sentences is not effective in order to reduce crime rates... it is much better to focus on rehabilitation of criminals, instead of time behind bars...
Right totally ridiculous and unacceptable
That little move you do in the intro... it has finally come to me.... the masterpiece.... we shall call it... "The Ballen Bow" TM
Hahaha
😂
😂😂
I Literally do it with him every episode 😂😂
Ahhaha yuuuus
Really love your content and style Ballen. You know how to draw viewers in and the stories you have are fascinating. Keep entertaining!
Told brilliantly, as always, MrBallen! You never fail to deliver!
I love that Mr Ballen totally flips the script on you, I thought Scott and Sean were going to hurt the old man. I love the twists in the endings and this is why I love Mr Ballen! 😄
same! mr. ballen likes to hide the ball, and i love it!
I thought that Ricky would be dismembered by Sean 🤣 Imagine how big Sean is and Ricky is so fragile.
So good.
😉
When he said there was a bang, my first thought was "alright, which one shot Rickey?" 😂😂
I remember hearing this story on that show “I Survived” and Scott and Shaun told the story from their perspective. You did a great job turning this into a mind bending plot twist. Incredible story telling skills.
Same, I loved I Survived
Me too!
I didn't appreciate the "spin" Mr B put on this event
@@mikeandrews1899 what was that? I found the misplaced red herring at the beginning, the one implying Ricky was anxious because there was a possible murderer on the lose a bit odd. Also I think in I survived, he wondered into their camp. I could be mistaken.
@@MareMarMarie bc I grew up near dismal Creek , swam there as a kid and fished there many times over my 60yrs of existence on this rock . I vividly remember both of these incidents , And Randall Lee Smith ( Ricky Williams) was a waste of skin , who our judicial system failed to dispose of.
Love your stories in the woods, need more of your places you can't go and people who went anyways, me and my wife can't get enough of those. We've watched all your stories, your great at what you do man. 👏👏👏
I loved how you started to tell this story. From the actual killer’s side instead of the victims. That was a twist thank you Mr ballen for this sad but good story.
Props to Sean and Scott for not letting such a traumatic event ruin their love of the outdoors. Lord knows if that happened to me and I'd survived, you'd never see me even remotely near the treeline of any forest ever again.
It wasn't the forests fault though
@@benjaminollis7621well duh but it can be a reminder of trauma experienced
@@kyliedee6079 not if you keep going
agreed. My life is way to precious to risk camping again if i was them
@@nate-the-reactor8853 camping wasn't the problem
I’m glad to hear Dale & Tucker survived that evil
that movie is amazing😂
😂😂
Ha! Very good.
It does sound like something that would happen to Tucker & Dale
Especially after watching college kids chucking themselves into wood chippers
I hope you know just how awesome you and your wife are for giving us such amazing content!! I have four kids and every Sunday all of us look forward to a new story. Thank you!
What a brilliant story. So well told. I was not expecting that at all.
It's stunning that they still go back to Dismal Creek. Creating new memories at the place of trauma.
Glad they didn't allow crazy Ricky to stop them from doing what they love doing.
@@Annie497 💯💯
Just found this channel a few days ago. Great content, my dude, I am hooked.
If you're like me, you'll binge watch past episodes. It's totally worth it but beware, you might neglect health and family while watching...lol! I'm not an official 'welcome wagon' crew or anything but I am one of the over eight and a half million subscribers. I will say that I'm not sure how you found him but you're not going to regret finding him! I still have no idea how I stumbled upon his channel but I have no regrets! If these kinds of stories are your thing, you've hit paydirt!
Amazing as always!❤
I don’t know how you do it but you make the story actually come to life. When I listen I start to see the forest camp site it’s just wonderful. Bless you and yours
He makes a bunch of shit up lol
The flames flickering off the blade really set the tone
@@TlD-dg6ugand drags it out so badly. it takes more than 5 minutes to explain that some random explosion in the woods was a gun? Way to draw out a shitty mystery.
@@TlD-dg6ug there always has to be haters!! The way i see it even your negative comments like yours makes him money as well. I love his stories and the way i see it if this is something that doesn't interest you go find something that does.
its called storystelling @@TlD-dg6ug
Sean and Scott have to be admired for not letting this, quite frankly, terrifying experience from stopping them doing the thing that they love. The fact that their friendship survived this ordeal and that they charged on regardless is commendable. Massive respect and ❤🫂.
Like deployed 👍
Experiencing the terrifying ordeal together probably strengthened their comradeship.
I have never heard this story, and it is a wild one!! Sean and Scott truly are meant to be best buddies!
love listening to you ever since i passed away in 09' listening to you has really help the time pass by !
They befriended and fed this guy, he relays them by trying to kill them!! Shaun's first instinct regarding Ricky were bang on
I love tragic stories with happy endings... Bless those 2 strong amazing and caring men....
i agree , it warms me heart to know that not only they survive also to know that the apalachian trail is safe to visit to this day knowing that bad bad bad man Randall died
@@KRDPokay Mr. Krabs

Cool screen name!
@@ErinNacAllison agreed
Loving it and thanks for your time and great stories..
Dude, your story telling abilities are amazing. I wish I had this talent.
Yes, this is the kind of content I been longing for,
Camping, forest, fire tower, trains & cars in the middle of nowhere/ traveling through forests, dash cams in the middle of nowhere,
That type of stuff is so interesting and scary.
Yeah this is very entertaining

That was creepy. Also creepy for me as in 1977, I was 11 years old, my Dad was Navy and our Navy family met at the Great Dismal Swamp to camp for a weekend. I was fishing on one of the docks there with other Navy brats my age and I forcefully cast my line into the water (unintentionally throwing myself into the water) and almost drowned. This story brought back that memory. Not really related, but the place. I’ll never forget being underwater, not knowing how to swim and seeing eels or snakes swimming to the top of the green looking water as I was submerged. I’ll never forget that day!
Wow that's a crazy story I'm glad you survived.
Hope you learned to swim
@@kristinessTXwtf 🤣
A navy brat 11 years old that didn’t know how to swim? 🙈 WTH? And growing near water fishing?
@@user-ks6fr8mh1u Mom may have been afraid of the water and would let them swim out of a twisted ‘protective’ feeling. Everyone should know how to swim.
Wow. This one had me chewing my nails. Excellent Mr. Ballen! Didn’t see that one coming. 😊
I was so happy to hear that they lived and made a full recovery. May God bless and protect these young, brave men. Can't imagine the trauma
Sean and Scott are the kinda dudes you hope to run across in a time of need. It's a shame 'Ricky' used their kindness against them. I'm glad they survived and didn'tlet that man's evil taint their love of the outdoors. The way MrBallen told their story was brilliant. Dude is a mastermind of storytelling. So glad he and his studios are bringing in other amazing storytellers to create the ultimate campfire story studio
Wow! So glad Sean and Scott survived! That’s a miracle!
Wow Mr Ballen, you surprised me again!!! Great video!
Hey all :). Ive been away a long time getting into some fun hobbies but I had a minute to listen. Feels good to be back!
Wow, it's amazing that Sean, and Scott both survived and awesome that they didn't let an incident like that destroy their love of camping. Great job as usual Mr. Ballen 👍.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN THERE'S NO SEARCH PARTY FOR THE DOG AND HE'S JUST OUT THERE ALL ALONE AND WE'RE LEFT HERE UPSET IN THE COMMENTS HOPING SOMEONE KNOWS SOMETHING ABOUT THE DOG 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Absolutely disgusting
😮😭
He did say Extremely Disturbing.
@loulou7963 wondering about a dog and leaving a comment over-exaggerating that concern is absolutely disgusting? Lol ok
@@prettyBPDokay robot. You need an update to your empathy programming
Thank you!
That was a huge twist! I love listening to your stories Mr. Ballen :)
Can confirm that "Run, Fool!" is an incredible show. Despite the distinct terror & weirdness of many of the subjects, Rodney's narration is delivered in such a way that I still feel like I'm gonna be OK after, which is huge for me. A different style of beautiful storytelling, and I love the folkloric aspect.
As a fellow veteran (USAF Security Forces), I can't tell you how much I love your channel. Totally awesome stories delivered in an amazing way by the most chill dude I've ever seen. I've binged your channel since i found it. Keep up the amazing work! 😎
Thank you for your service ☺️
Thank you for your service! My dad was security forces too and I'm looking at a possible career in the AF!
Hey, fellow USAF vet here. His channel is certainly binge worth, especially when I have a migraine.
As usaf veteran what do think about Aaron bushnell ?
@@omarhab3689 I've never heard of him. I'll look him up.
I love MrBallen's camping stories! They're amongst his best. Reminds me of the "do you know how to get to Bells Canyon" story
Your story telling is literally unmatched👏🏼
Note to self: Never read the top comment accidentally while watching (may contain spoilers) ⚠️
I'm glad your comment was the top comment😁
I am so used to reading the top comment while the ads play. Damn you youtube ads
Thanks a lot for the disclaimer
Tell me about it
Tell me about it
For real. I spoilt it on myself so I decided to come back when I forgot 😭
Thanks for doing this story! I passed Randal on the AT in April 2008 when I was out with my Boy Scout troop. I have also met both surviving men, they came to our middle school and told their story to us. Anyway, very cool to hear one that you feel especially connected with!
That is terrifying. It is amazing that your troop were safe after coming across such a dangerous person.
Luv the way u tell ur stories
Man, how you framed this story is great!
Listening to your stories has definitely helps me get through my anxiety and my addiction thank you very much Mr John Ballen. I appreciate what you do
Same
Me too.
Oh I love Mr Ballen, especially in middle of nights when insomnia has me tossing & turning- despite stories being freaky, his voice just calms me.. there's a few channels that copy him, but the original is definitely the best! Gotta ask if Mr Ballen has Italian roots but, cause he speaks with his hands so much! Glad he got out of military service intact, respect that he fought but us Aussies will never understand how or why US sends troops to unnecessary wars.. 🥺
Stories with twists are the best ones!
That definitely was a strange story! Thanks for sharing Mr Ballen! 😊
The way you structure your stories is 🔥
Simple story telling but incredibly intriguing. This format is why we know about stories from centuries ago. Bravo
Always glad to see new Mr. Ballen🫡
One of the best stories!! There's no way you can foresee what happens.
Sean and Scott are legends, respect
The ‘plot twist’ definitely emphasizes the old saying, “There’s two sides to every story.” Another reason I try to be impartial to just about every one-sided post on the internet.
Thank you, Mr. Ballen, for another wonderfully told cliffhanger!! ❣️😃
A video on my hometown? This is going to be great! I've been fishing at the EXACT spot where that photo was take many times.
Love your vids ... have watched dozens of them
I literally have watched a docuseries on Sean and Scott telling their story and the way you told it still had me caught by surprise. Great work per usual !
This is the best retelling of this story that I've come across. Great work Mr. Ballen!
I love twists. You worded this story perfectly
These men Sean and Scott, are very strong to have survived this brutal attack. The fact that they still go to Dismal creek every year must mean they dont have PTSD. I think its awesome !
Currently camping on a peninsula out in the Gulf of Mexico. It’s storming. 5am and dark. Perfect time to listen and fall back asleep 😴
Don't trust anyone who owns a dog
@@SatanenPerkelewhat a dumb thing to say 😂
@@ayyybruhh5119 Why? Famous dictators, serial killers, thugs, peddos, Z00philes etc are almost always dog owners.
Did you survive? 😅
