I don't know why he didn't just say, "Yeah, it's due South, keep walking and you'll get there" and then take off to the North himself. Probably next night he would hear "You lied, Bell's Canyon wasn't anywhere near there, so do you know how to get to Bell's Canyon or not?"
It said he had a map, why didn’t he look and just tell him how to get there. Bells canyon is a real place, maybe just help the dude out and he would stop stalking you!
@@stevanykitten6780 right?, I think he literally wanted to know where Bells Canyon, if he wanted to hurt him he would've done it easily , anyways I think matt was just scared of the whole situation, being alone in remote area and with someone stalking you can really get to your nerves.
I don't know how anyone would go hiking/camping, by themselves in the deep wilderness without a gun. The Bell's Canyon story has stuck with me for a while.
exactly, these nature lovers should know, yes being materialistic is painful, but just because you love nature, nature wont accept you in open arms, nature is real and real can be unpleasant, i wont go alone unless i have a side arm, 2 assault rifles around 500 ammo all in magazine, 2 grenades, 1 katana, a radio to send signal and communicate in case phone has no signal or battery, and a t-800 to protect me. 😂😂
@@Aradriel exactly that's my thoughts, but i get why people go, it does feel wonderful, you can have total peace, but i will not go alone even so, i once went camping with my 3 friends, i just say yes without thinking much, but man when it starts to get dark and when i realized we were in the middle of a forest far away from civilization, man it is so scary, but man i have never seen stars so bright like that.
@@jugg9140 I get the appeal and understand how wonderful a little piece and quiet can be. And yes seeing all those stars would be nice. But instead of a camp in the middle of serial killer territory I'd much prefer something like a log cabin, you know something with much harder to break walls instead of some thin tent. :) Just in case I need to defend myself from an angry or bored bigfoot or cryptid or weirdo like a door salesmen. Lol.
Have you seen Bailey Sarian’s Murder Mystery and Make Up series? She tells true crime stories (while doing her make but pay no attention to that 😜) but she’s super engaging and funny as hell!
My cousin listened to this with me a while back and a couple weeks later he whispered in my ear "do you know how to get to bells canyon?" To say it scared me is an understatement
@@lyndsaykirkpatrick5123 He was probably about to go stalk some hiker out in the woods, but he figured he'd ask his cousin first just to see if he could be spared the trouble.
@@Deathangel12ish But then again she told her mom to go back to the random girl in the woods. I know if it was me and I saw some random kid out in the middle of the woods looking all creepy I wouldn’t have stopped at all 😂
I just looked into that story, there is a set of sisters that live close by that have grotesque faces (faceless) from birth that are adopted from the Ukraine.... They are rare defects, and 2 of the same in middle florida.
All Matt needed after getting home was a phone call by someone asking, "Do you know how to get to Bells Canyon?" He would have dropped dead on the spot.
"Guy" in the third story is not a human. He didn't follow this hiker during a day - he found him every time during a night. It's some kind of shape-shifter, who lived at the territory this hiker got into. He repeated only one phase he heard from some other hiker "Do you know how to get to Bells Canyon?".
you're theory might be right and it gives me the creeps. how could this person find him at night in the forest? when he asks about bells canyon it was the middle of the night right? unless the camper snored I think its impossible to find someone at night in the wilderness. there was no fire either. what was this person doing walking around in the middle of the night? Everyone sleeps at night when you're camping and walking all day. this is MrBallens creepiest story.
@@colbey79 Agreed. Seems supernatural. And Matt was running all day. How is this guy eating and resting? How is he navigating the woods with no food or rest in extreme darkness? Why does he not know how to interact with humans? You don't approach someone's camp at night and aggressively ask questions from the darkness without revealing and introducing yourself. Perhaps it is some mentally ill guy who lives in those woods. This is why I never camp without Mr. 45.
Imagine Matt talking to a ranger, telling him about the strange guy that was stalking him and the ranger being like: "Yeah, that's Jed. He's a bit slow, so we have him helping tourists with getting to Bells Canyon. He can be a bit stubborn at times, but he goes away after he tells you how to get there."
I’m going to play the bells canyon story to my dad, that way on our annual camping trip I can creepily ask him “do you know how to get to Bells canyon?” In the middle of the night as he’s trying to sleep 😃
I wasted 3 days trying to get directions from Matt. Douche wouldn’t tell me if he knew the route. I did end up finding Bells Canyon though and it was beautiful.
Imagine robbing someone’s house in the middle of the night, the person comes home, makes eye contact with you, and just completely ignores you and goes to bed... I just wanna edit this saying holy shit like you guys actually gave me almost 10k likes like whaaat thank you!
I know. I’d be more afraid of them. If I’m in your house and hiding under ur blankets and you just look at me like nothing and just walk past, I’m thinking you’re a vampire. And of course the natural thing to do next is to scratch on your door.
When I was a kid my family and I had a house that was on top of a mountain in my town that overlooked the whole town and had a long winding dirt road that led up to it. In this town, there was a guy that was obsessed with my mom and would routinely come up to see her when my step dad wasn’t around and eventually my brother and I were made aware that this grown man was creeping my mom out and to watch for him. He was told by our family to not come around again and for awhile it seemed like he had let it go and we didn’t see him around for a couple weeks. One night my mom went out with her friends and my brother was at a sleepover so it left me home alone on this mountain. I was always scared in that house because it was secluded in the forest but our vehicles were in the driveway so it gave me some comfort knowing that it looked like we were all home. I absolutely loved the horror genre so I watched horror movies on the scream channel and on this particular night I was watching twin peaks when a commercial came on that had a caption that read, now the nightmare begins or something of that sort. As soon as that happened, the power went out. I remember all I could hear as I was legs folded in front of the tv was my heart pounding in my throat from sheer terror and then what happened next froze me. I could see a shadow of a head on the wall coming from the corner of the window behind me that had been casted in from the moonlight. I slowly turned my neck over my shoulder and seen this guy looking in with his hands on the sides of his face as if he was peering in to the darkness inside trying to see me. When I seen him, I didn’t jump because I was still frozen in fear. Instead, just as slowly as I turned my neck over my shoulder, I turned it back forward. I then mustered up the courage after a few seconds to stand up. When I got to my feet, I ran to the porch, but my shoes on and ram down over the hill straight to my friends house. This story is one of many crazy ones that happened to me growing up. And btw, I told my family about it and he was confronted but nothing came of it that I can remember.
When I was a kid we saw a creepy lady sitting in the grass next to a pretty desolate road. My friends dad cracked his window and went “you ok?”. She didn’t respond so he said “ok, well I got work in the morning so good luck” and drove away. Probably a great decision.
I can’t believe after so many videos, Mr Ballen can still make me feel genuinely scared or creeped out with his amazing stories and incredible narration skills.
This one time i was lost in the woods, i had wondered off from my camp and couldn't find it again. Eventually i found a hiker who seemed pretty skilled but struggled to catch him up for help, eventually i found his camp at night but didn't want to disturb him in the night so sat outside and waited for morning.He startled me when i saw him staring at me through a small slit in his tent and i ran away scared but didn't want to go too far as he seemed to know where he was going. The next day when i caught him up again i asked for directions to Bells Canyon but he kept shining a torch in face while clutching a knife, this guy was real scary so i didn't want to approach him again but he was my only hope of finding a way out of the woods.
If your camping in backwoods Washington: Always take several, durable, laminated maps depicting the best route from your rough location to Bell's Canyon and lay them out all around your campsite at night. Also, it wouldn't hurt to conceal a bear trap in the ashes of your campfire before going to bed.
I don’t wanna go camping ever! I don’t care if I’ve got the national guard with me, uh uh; I don’t deal with paranormal stuff. If I would’ve been Misty and my mom reached over to roll my window down, I would’ve reached over and put my hand on the gas pedal and floored it. She could’ve fussed me out but after that girl traveled 2-3 miles back the other way, you would’ve just been crazy to have stopped. I bet her mother regretted that decision.
For a second i took this advice seriously lol i mean who knows this might actually work. The only problem is if he cant read a map and will continue to ask you in your room at night
Matt gets on the plane back to New York. The guy in the seat next to him turns his head toward him and asks, "Do you know how to get to Bell's canyon?"
Next time I go hiking, every time I come across someone I'll ask them if they know how to get to Bell's Canyon in the hope I'd meet another MrBallen fan or freak some strangers out, either way is good.
Things this channel teaches 1: never go in the woods without a gun 2: never go camping without friends 3: just tell the poor guy how to get to bells canyon
Misty's mother is the character in a movie that is in a house alone, sees blood coming out of the walls, hears sounds coming from upstairs, lights flickering and goes up stairs to investigate and calls out to the hidden demon "is someone there?"
I mean, I get memeing the whole dumb protagonist thing, but I can't really blame her. I mean, it's some girl who's on the side of the road crouching all alone in the middle of nowhere. I'm sure the thought of the possibility of a ghost crossed her mind, but if you're not superstitious, I really can't say there was enough there to truly believe it was supernatural. Yes it seems impossible for the girl to have gotten ahead of them on her own, but apart from that there was no other supernatural events. It was just a young girl in the fetal position on the side of the road. Imagine being in that car, especially as a mother, and choosing to abandon this lone girl on the side of the road just because you got the heeby jeebies.
"Hey man, I didn't mean to scare you but I just really need a ride to bells canyon. I apologize for our encounter in the woods, I've been tripping on mushrooms the past few days and it destroyed my ability to communicate in social interactions. Anyways, think you could help me out?"
Misty's Mom is courageous at the wrong times. She's afraid to drive at night but is okay with picking up a random girl on the side of the road...makes sense lol
that sounds like someone who thinks a little girl is lost or might be in danger, so her conscience preventing her from running away, that is still dangerous though.
Imagine 3 months later Matt randomly wakes up around 3am to use the bathroom and all of a sudden he hears “Do you know how to get to Bell’s Canyon?” Right behind him.I’d literally cry,throw up,piss,and shit myself all in the same time 😫😖
Say "Belle Canyon" three times into a mirror while standing in a dark room and this stabby hobo appears behind you and asks "Do you know how to get to Belle's Canyon?"
I thought Mr. Allen was going to say 'Matt jumped into his car, shed a tear of joy, went to turn the ignition key when all of a sudden, from the back seat came a voice "do you know how to get to Bells Canyon"', and then finally Matt's lights grow strangely dim!
I don't know whether I should flee or laugh. Honestly that would be funny. What stupidly random thing to ask someone, even out in the middle of nowhere. Come on Matt, don't be so fucking milquetoast...
Competent maybe, but very irresponsible. Never head into wilderness without a planned route and letting family, friends, or rangers know what your route is.
Years later Matt returns to the same woods, putting the prior incident behind him. Second night in the woods,just when he's drifting off to sleep he hears that voice stating, "Just wanted to let you know, I found Bells Canyon." 😆
I swear it's the same story from paranormal witness 1st or 2nd season. But there was a 3rd person who was a foreign exchange student that was also with them sitting in the back seat. The actual victims told their story in that show.
I'm paralized with fear and discomfort! Some 10 years ago I happened to see exactly the same thing while driving with my daughter in the night. We saw a girl in white clothes and very dark long hair sitting backwards to the road. We slowed down passing beside her. Never stopped. When she starter to turn around....... and we saw HER... we launched in speed like a rocket! Shaking badly for a long timer we could not BELIEVE it! I thought it happened only to us!
I like how this guy can navigate perfectly through the woods at night with no light, manages to find Matt’s campsite no matter where he sets up, but yet can’t seem to work out how to get to bells canyon.
Brother, you are the best story teller I have ever listened to! I worked on films and broadway, and you are phenomenal!! You get everyone so engaged!! GOD BLESS YOU!! That guy asking “do you know how to get Bells Canyon!” Just give them a direction FAR FAR FAR away from you man!! Duh!!!
Uhm yah, but it's and effing ghost that's asking you "u know how to get somewhere" you can't tell me you wouldn't scream and run away and stuff. Easy to say when nothing is happening to you at the moment.
Imagine someone following you for miles in the forest for days, just to ask you, in the middle of the night; "We've been trying to contact you about your car's extended warranty."
You’re right! That would make a terrific thriller. I’d watch it even knowing the end. It’s really terrifying. I was scared listening to him tell the story. No real weapon, no plan filed with anyone is not good odds to work with. He’s a very lucky soul to be alive. I’ve been rough camping but not without proper protection and letting people know where I’m going. That’s how people die.
I’ve listened to every one of your stories. I have been bush-bashing, hiking and camping in the Australian bush my whole life. The Bells Canyon story, is the one story I will never forget. I don’t know why this one out of ALL of your stories freaks me out so much. But damn, this is literally my worst nightmare
Because it wasn't human. Think about it. Running through a dense forest at night without falling or hitting a tree face first. It was able to stay completely hidden during the day all day until whenever the hiker went to sleep. Only spoke one sentence. Skinwalker. I mean anything possible but it doesn't sound like a human to me. It could be and that's the simplest explanation of course but there us so so so much we do not know or understand about our own planet and reality that it's also just as possible it's some other creature/being we've only heard ghost stories about.
I cant believe Misty's mom was unresponsive to Misty. She had no care for her daughter's change in concern. I remembered my mom taking us to a carnival parade here in the Caribbean, and not too far from where we were standing , there was this drunk man and it looked as though a fight was going to happen in that crowd, and I immediately demanded that we go home because I was so scared something will happen in that crowd, and even though we had only reached there about 15 mins, my mom left immediately and we went home. I didn't have to cry and throw tantrums. I mom understood, because that was the kind of child I was, never liked to be around or near drunk people. If Misty intuition and drastic change of heart didn't convince her mom, well, it took a faceless girl to do it!
14:07 "stay off any trail, deep in the backcountry in random locations" translates perfectly to "Imma make it so nobody can find my body, even if I want them to"
Matt's such an idiot. I just wanted to give him a cold hard slap when he decided he wouldn't call the police at the end. 'hE wAs JuSt sPOoKy, ThAt'S aLl. nOtHinG tO CaLl the pOliCe aBoUT.' First, he goes camping alone. Then, he makes it almost impossible to find him. And finally, he refuses to get the cops to search for a guy who was constantly terrorizing and stalking him during his whole trip. He was lucky not to have been killed by that guy. I blame Matt if ppl ended up missing in that forest
@Yize Dai im curious too, do u think its real yize? Im usually a skeptic about things. I dont believe in religious stories and i spent most of my life not believing in ghosts. I had one very strange experience a few years ago and ever since ive gone back and forth. I dont understamd how something like this is possible, but im also haunted by my own experience.
@@Brandon-vg7pl do you mind sharing your experience? Even if something spooky happens, there's no way to know what it really is. Like if someday i see an apparition, that doesn't mean it's the soul of a dead person. It could be anything, including a trick or illusion. It could be someone behind an invisibility cloak with a dying battery lol
I appreciate all of you wanting to hear the story, but i wouldnt do it any justice. Its a bit cliche and id feel silly typing it all out. Im still not even sure that everything that happened wasnt somehow, just not real. It did open my close minded self to the possibilities though. Ever since, ive been listening in on paranormal stories. However, I cant get into the ghost hunter shows because they all seem exaggerated and sometimes staged. I also think psychics are charlatans. So there is really no confirmation for me. Sorry for the disappointment guys.
There's a reason that personal testimony is considered a poor form of evidence. Our brains have evolved to recognize patterns and see threats at the slightest provocation to keep us alive. For survival it's absolutely in your best interest to trust your instinct in the short term but your logic will serve you better once the adrenaline wears off ...
Discovered MrBallen a couple days ago and I can’t stop watching and listening. I love the way he tells stories. No nonsense just straight to the point on all his videos! Anyway - do you know how to get to Bells Canyon? 😂
An uncle of one of my best friends has a story similar to the mom and daughter seeing the girl on the side of the road. It was somewhere on a small, quiet road around Brownsville, TX. He was driving home late one night from work on some quiet side road and saw a girl sitting on the side of the road with long dark hair, ratty clothing. He pulled up to her and asked if she was ok, tried to offer her water and/or his unfinished lunch from the day. When she looked up at him, she had "dead eyes and long fangs" that he could see. He punched the gas and never took that road again. One of a couple spooky stories I was told from the Brownsville area
In the last story, I kept expecting the guy to get to his hotel room, the phone starts ringing, he picks it up and a voice says "Do you know how to get to Bells Canyon?" LOL
Then he just says yes and the guy says "oh good because I got lost in the forest and I just wanted to talk to you about where I'm at but I would see you with a knife so I didn't really want to get near you"
From out in the darkness “Do you know how to get to Bell’s Canyon?” “Oh man” Hops out of his tent. “Am I glad I found you. I’ve been trying to reach you about your car’s warranty”
I very rarely even get chills listening to paranormal/horror stories but this Bells canyon one somehow gets to me. I know it has been memed to hell and back but for me it's one of the best stories I've ever heard. It also helps that MrBallen is an incredibly talented storyteller.
Yea someone sitting outside your tent is sketchy shit That's why I always bring my pit bull Sophie she can hear a demons whisper from whiles away haha 🤣
I remember being a young teenage girl camped in a tent, in a clearing too far from a town, when suddenly a car started doing donuts in the camp ground. Being the only one in the camp ground, and a young female alone, I was pretty freaked. So what did I do? Like a good Catholic girl - I said the rosary and hoped they'd go away! Thankfully they did.
Sometimes the story is so jarring that when John moves on to the next one I don't pay attention because I am still processing the story I just heard lol
What a gift for storytelling. Listening to you, one can almost imagine how tribes of people w/o a written language could pass their history down through spoken word.
Regarding Matt from "Bells Canyon" . . . he finally returns to his car after that harrowing ordeal in the back country, and as soon as he's ready to race away, he hears that ominous voice again, now coming from the backseat area: "TAKE ME TO BELLS CANYON."
@@JasbirSingh-y7c Seriously? My comment was intended as parody. I thought it would be funny if Matt's stalker essentially makes a Taxi driver or chauffer out of him in the end. 😉
Maybe that’s a crime or you live but it’s not a crime where I live and maybe an hour he lives I don’t know where he lives there so I don’t think it’s a crime there but the police are not doing that because I also work with the story you guys telling wherever I’m like wherever he lives in might not be a crime there too but like so out of this I really stop talking is watching by the way my hands are sticky now so this is voice so if it makes no sense that’s because it’s funny laughing fuck you emoji no it doesn’t pick it up no no no no no no no no no no no no no no…… Dot.

@@JamesCharIes you utter fcuking nut job 😂. Did you get the boat before you started going back to the original comment on your private bits rather than simply doing a little more than just the cost for it or something?
Well when Matt was flashing his light all around the woods to locate and identify the noises I'm just glad he didn't see any Japanese Torpedo boats to worry about
Imagine you're this poor guy lost in the woods for days and the first person you meet won't give you directions, and he's your only chance of getting out of the woods alive so you chase him for days asking again and again and he just never caves.
I mean, if this dude really was lost though, he still would've got what he needed. Considering he followed this man for three days until Matt got back to the parking lot, he would've found out how to leave the forest from following him and could go ask someone else who he HADN'T scared the pants off for directions/a phone/a ride lmao. But it also makes no sense that he's lost, if I was desperately lost and happened to come across my salvation I sure as shit wouldn't have hid in the woods all day and night and ran when confronted with a flashlight and only ever ask for directions to Bells Canyon. 😆 I'd be crying and introducing myself, saying 'I'm so lost, thank god I stumbled across you, I left from Bells Canyon and it's been so many days and I have no clue how far I've walked or how long I've been gone, can you please help me get to the nearest phone/etc. so I can go home?' No sane person in the middle of nowhere would run away from help or scare them so bad they didn't wanna help you. So maybe they were mentally ill? Or had been out there long enough to become feral, at which point they probably wouldn't care too much about Bells Canyon imo lol.🤷
@@griffintgm9467 Also possible imo. I have an open mind, but I try to be skeptical and always reach for the most rational options first, as I do think in general people often jump to paranormal conclusions as the reason before looking at practical ones, but to me there are some undeniably unexplainable encounters. I say with 100% confidence that there are definitely things that humanity doesn’t, and may never, understand. Even if spirits, demons, echoes, etc. are never confirmed, that does not mean no such thing exists. Hell, there’s so many creatures that we thought were mythical or hoaxes before actually being discovered, like the giant squid. I don’t really put anything past the universe, we as a species don’t even understand the nature of why *we’re* conscious, so how the hell could we investigate what happens to consciousness after we die with current tech? My thought if he was something paranormal, it was either as you said, an echo of a dead hiker, or perhaps something else inhabiting the body and trying to minimize energy usage, so they rely on the easiest thing for the body to say, I.e. it’s last words.
Rewatching this due to the upcoming merch drop. I know "Bell's Canyon" is the story that people quote the most but all three of these stories are terrifying and amazing.
It sounds like Matt should have: 1. Brought a bloody firearm. 2. Told someone where he was going. 3. Brought a radio or some kind of back up communication device. 4. Brought a bloody firearm.
Yep. Rule #1, file a hike plan. And carry a firearm. Or two. And...plenty of ammo, bc a firearm is no good without it, except for whacking someone on the head.
@@ISeekSilence always in stories like this it's always the same. Person gets followed by someone with abnormal speed and the ability to move fast around rough terrain and when they make the same sound over and over again, my thoughts go straight to a vendigo. (or was it a flesh pedestrian?) Fits the description way too much. In this story as well.
"I don't know how to get to Bell's Canyon, but I do know how to save you 15% or more on car insurance. Sit with me by the fire and I'll tell you all about the Good News. Geico Jesus saves! You money on car insurance!"

Bell's Canyon Community College has a fantastic UA-cam Program guaranteed to make you a bonified UA-cam legend in no time.👌👍 that's why the gentleman( I think of him as the true protagonist of the story) was so frantic to get there in our 3rd story. Also, just asking for directions there even made him the star of a UA-cam video, proving it works.
True. But i can relate to her driving bcuz i cant see good as well but can see in the dark ok, just blurry. Anxiety does kick in so you start driving faster going 80 thinkingi must be going too slow, only feels like im going 30mph..
I have a truly daunting and scary story myself. It was the other day when I realized that I've watched all of your videos and now I have to wait for new episodes like it's the 90s-early 2000s.

@@Deathangel12ish But then again she told her mom to go back to the random girl in the woods. I know if it was me and I saw some random kid out in the middle of the woods looking all creepy I wouldn’t have stopped at all 😂
I just looked into that story, there is a set of sisters that live close by that have grotesque faces (faceless) from birth that are adopted from the Ukraine.... They are rare defects, and 2 of the same in middle florida.
@inkheart ...Or they're those people who are driving by and save you just as the monster/psycho killer is catching up to you
All Matt needed after getting home was a phone call by someone asking, "Do you know how to get to Bells Canyon?"
He would have dropped dead on the spot.
Lol
Ora knock at the door!
Either one would've got the job done 😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That would be amazing 😂 😂😂 , not for Matt though
😂😂😂😂
Misty’s mom was really showing off with all those 3-point turns.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
OMG! I laughed so hard when I read this comment. As scary as that story was, that's what you pointed out! 😂 😂
Clearly! Lol
Austin Powers 24-point turn. Lol
My thoughts exactly 🤣🤣
"Guy" in the third story is not a human. He didn't follow this hiker during a day - he found him every time during a night.
It's some kind of shape-shifter, who lived at the territory this hiker got into. He repeated only one phase he heard from some other hiker "Do you know how to get to Bells Canyon?".
Yes! Agreed
Good point
you're theory might be right and it gives me the creeps. how could this person find him at night in the forest? when he asks about bells canyon it was the middle of the night right? unless the camper snored I think its impossible to find someone at night in the wilderness. there was no fire either. what was this person doing walking around in the middle of the night? Everyone sleeps at night when you're camping and walking all day. this is MrBallens creepiest story.
@@colbey79 Agreed. Seems supernatural. And Matt was running all day. How is this guy eating and resting? How is he navigating the woods with no food or rest in extreme darkness? Why does he not know how to interact with humans? You don't approach someone's camp at night and aggressively ask questions from the darkness without revealing and introducing yourself. Perhaps it is some mentally ill guy who lives in those woods. This is why I never camp without Mr. 45.
It’s gotta be some demon

He's a bit slow, so we have him helping tourists with getting to Bells Canyon. He can be a bit stubborn at times, but he goes away after he tells you how to get there."

KAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
So.. are you strictly addressing pieces of shit that are watching this? 😂
I know. I’d be more afraid of them. If I’m in your house and hiding under ur blankets and you just look at me like nothing and just walk past, I’m thinking you’re a vampire. And of course the natural thing to do next is to scratch on your door.
When I was a kid my family and I had a house that was on top of a mountain in my town that overlooked the whole town and had a long winding dirt road that led up to it.
In this town, there was a guy that was obsessed with my mom and would routinely come up to see her when my step dad wasn’t around and eventually my brother and I were made aware that this grown man was creeping my mom out and to watch for him. He was told by our family to not come around again and for awhile it seemed like he had let it go and we didn’t see him around for a couple weeks.
One night my mom went out with her friends and my brother was at a sleepover so it left me home alone on this mountain.
I was always scared in that house because it was secluded in the forest but our vehicles were in the driveway so it gave me some comfort knowing that it looked like we were all home.
I absolutely loved the horror genre so I watched horror movies on the scream channel and on this particular night I was watching twin peaks when a commercial came on that had a caption that read, now the nightmare begins or something of that sort.
As soon as that happened, the power went out.
I remember all I could hear as I was legs folded in front of the tv was my heart pounding in my throat from sheer terror and then what happened next froze me. I could see a shadow of a head on the wall coming from the corner of the window behind me that had been casted in from the moonlight. I slowly turned my neck over my shoulder and seen this guy looking in with his hands on the sides of his face as if he was peering in to the darkness inside trying to see me.
When I seen him, I didn’t jump because I was still frozen in fear. Instead, just as slowly as I turned my neck over my shoulder, I turned it back forward.
I then mustered up the courage after a few seconds to stand up. When I got to my feet, I ran to the porch, but my shoes on and ram down over the hill straight to my friends house. This story is one of many crazy ones that happened to me growing up. And btw, I told my family about it and he was confronted but nothing came of it that I can remember.
When I was a kid we saw a creepy lady sitting in the grass next to a pretty desolate road. My friends dad cracked his window and went “you ok?”. She didn’t respond so he said “ok, well I got work in the morning so good luck” and drove away. Probably a great decision.
LMFAO Good on him 🤣
Hmm i wonder what happened to the creepy one after that, probably just sat there for all eternity looking creepy.
Good job dad lmao 😂😂😂😂😂
Maybe she was just meditating?
Did she know the way to Bell's Canyon?
I’m surprised misty and her mom didn’t say “let’s split up and find her”.
Bahahaha😂😂😂 They didn't do-the-splits coz Fred wasn't there that night, else they surely would have.
Lmao. “Hey Misty drop me off here. I’m gonna get out and see if this girl needs directions to Bells Canyon”

I know his editing is so amazing also! :3
i found it funny ! watching this video as i was cleaning my glock 17
This one time i was lost in the woods, i had wondered off from my camp and couldn't find it again. Eventually i found a hiker who seemed pretty skilled but struggled to catch him up for help, eventually i found his camp at night but didn't want to disturb him in the night so sat outside and waited for morning.He startled me when i saw him staring at me through a small slit in his tent and i ran away scared but didn't want to go too far as he seemed to know where he was going. The next day when i caught him up again i asked for directions to Bells Canyon but he kept shining a torch in face while clutching a knife, this guy was real scary so i didn't want to approach him again but he was my only hope of finding a way out of the woods.
Yah.🤣
I´m glad u made it out of the woods. Some guys have no courage 😂
Epic twist.
Thankfully you found your way back 🤣
then you lost your mind and ran through his camp making animal sounds.
“Do you know how to get to Bells Canyon?”
Haha this episode is legendary Mr Ballen.
If your camping in backwoods Washington: Always take several, durable, laminated maps depicting the best route from your rough location to Bell's Canyon and lay them out all around your campsite at night. Also, it wouldn't hurt to conceal a bear trap in the ashes of your campfire before going to bed.
The maps to belles canyon though XDDDD
Bell's Canyon dude should swipe right on the Blair Witch
I don’t wanna go camping ever! I don’t care if I’ve got the national guard with me, uh uh; I don’t deal with paranormal stuff. If I would’ve been Misty and my mom reached over to roll my window down, I would’ve reached over and put my hand on the gas pedal and floored it. She could’ve fussed me out but after that girl traveled 2-3 miles back the other way, you would’ve just been crazy to have stopped. I bet her mother regretted that decision.
BEEFY KOK WHIPPED OUT ON A SCHOOL BUS
For a second i took this advice seriously lol i mean who knows this might actually work. The only problem is if he cant read a map and will continue to ask you in your room at night
Matt gets on the plane back to New York. The guy in the seat next to him turns his head toward him and asks, "Do you know how to get to Bell's canyon?"

Misty's mother is the character in a movie that is in a house alone, sees blood coming out of the walls, hears sounds coming from upstairs, lights flickering and goes up stairs to investigate and calls out to the hidden demon "is someone there?"
lmao
I would intentionally do that and then laugh at myself afterwards and try to leave and I would end up getting destroyed by the demon
@@alyus6048 lmao 🤣
I mean, I get memeing the whole dumb protagonist thing, but I can't really blame her. I mean, it's some girl who's on the side of the road crouching all alone in the middle of nowhere. I'm sure the thought of the possibility of a ghost crossed her mind, but if you're not superstitious, I really can't say there was enough there to truly believe it was supernatural. Yes it seems impossible for the girl to have gotten ahead of them on her own, but apart from that there was no other supernatural events. It was just a young girl in the fetal position on the side of the road. Imagine being in that car, especially as a mother, and choosing to abandon this lone girl on the side of the road just because you got the heeby jeebies.
"I just made cookies...?"
Matt: locks doors, cries tears of joy.
Stalker: sits up in the backseat.

Even when her daughter is terrified, she continues?.. idk I feel like Misty should have been driving... not sure why she let her mom drive at all tbh.

After Matt gets home the man says I think I lost bells canyon.
The second story is so scary falling asleep to it is so visually terrifying
Literally me tonight hahaa

I swear it's the same story from paranormal witness 1st or 2nd season. But there was a 3rd person who was a foreign exchange student that was also with them sitting in the back seat. The actual victims told their story in that show.
I'm paralized with fear and discomfort! Some 10 years ago I happened to see exactly the same thing while driving with my daughter in the night. We saw a girl in white clothes and very dark long hair sitting backwards to the road. We slowed down passing beside her. Never stopped. When she starter to turn around....... and we saw HER... we launched in speed like a rocket! Shaking badly for a long timer we could not BELIEVE it! I thought it happened only to us!
I like how this guy can navigate perfectly through the woods at night with no light, manages to find Matt’s campsite no matter where he sets up, but yet can’t seem to work out how to get to bells canyon.
I believe that guy is not human but a skinwalker mimicking a human voice and form.
It's a demon.
Matt was probably just hallucinating because of his lack of sleep

"Understandable, have a nice day."

The Bell’s Canyon story would actually make for a great 80 min horror/psychological thriller haha
You’re right! That would make a terrific thriller. I’d watch it even knowing the end. It’s really terrifying. I was scared listening to him tell the story. No real weapon, no plan filed with anyone is not good odds to work with. He’s a very lucky soul to be alive. I’ve been rough camping but not without proper protection and letting people know where I’m going. That’s how people die.
Someone should go up to bells canyon. See if they find something there.

Because it wasn't human. Think about it. Running through a dense forest at night without falling or hitting a tree face first. It was able to stay completely hidden during the day all day until whenever the hiker went to sleep. Only spoke one sentence. Skinwalker. I mean anything possible but it doesn't sound like a human to me. It could be and that's the simplest explanation of course but there us so so so much we do not know or understand about our own planet and reality that it's also just as possible it's some other creature/being we've only heard ghost stories about.

I cant believe Misty's mom was unresponsive to Misty. She had no care for her daughter's change in concern. I remembered my mom taking us to a carnival parade here in the Caribbean, and not too far from where we were standing , there was this drunk man and it looked as though a fight was going to happen in that crowd, and I immediately demanded that we go home because I was so scared something will happen in that crowd, and even though we had only reached there about 15 mins, my mom left immediately and we went home. I didn't have to cry and throw tantrums. I mom understood, because that was the kind of child I was, never liked to be around or near drunk people. If Misty intuition and drastic change of heart didn't convince her mom, well, it took a faceless girl to do it!
14:07 "stay off any trail, deep in the backcountry in random locations"
translates perfectly to
"Imma make it so nobody can find my body, even if I want them to"
PREACH!
Forreal. Like I'm down to go camping deep in the woods and all that, and have many times, but not alone. That's straight up idiotic.
Hahaha yes i was like wth

I just wanted to give him a cold hard slap when he decided he wouldn't call the police at the end. 'hE wAs JuSt sPOoKy, ThAt'S aLl. nOtHinG tO CaLl the pOliCe aBoUT.'
First, he goes camping alone.
Then, he makes it almost impossible to find him.
And finally, he refuses to get the cops to search for a guy who was constantly terrorizing and stalking him during his whole trip. He was lucky not to have been killed by that guy.
I blame Matt if ppl ended up missing in that forest

People - when someone says they have a bad feeling about something, believe them! Don't be a Misty's mom!
@Yize Dai im curious too, do u think its real yize? Im usually a skeptic about things. I dont believe in religious stories and i spent most of my life not believing in ghosts. I had one very strange experience a few years ago and ever since ive gone back and forth. I dont understamd how something like this is possible, but im also haunted by my own experience.
@@Brandon-vg7pl do you mind sharing your experience? Even if something spooky happens, there's no way to know what it really is. Like if someday i see an apparition, that doesn't mean it's the soul of a dead person. It could be anything, including a trick or illusion. It could be someone behind an invisibility cloak with a dying battery lol
commenting cos i wanna know what the experience was
I appreciate all of you wanting to hear the story, but i wouldnt do it any justice. Its a bit cliche and id feel silly typing it all out. Im still not even sure that everything that happened wasnt somehow, just not real. It did open my close minded self to the possibilities though. Ever since, ive been listening in on paranormal stories. However, I cant get into the ghost hunter shows because they all seem exaggerated and sometimes staged. I also think psychics are charlatans. So there is really no confirmation for me. Sorry for the disappointment guys.
There's a reason that personal testimony is considered a poor form of evidence. Our brains have evolved to recognize patterns and see threats at the slightest provocation to keep us alive. For survival it's absolutely in your best interest to trust your instinct in the short term but your logic will serve you better once the adrenaline wears off ...

An uncle of one of my best friends has a story similar to the mom and daughter seeing the girl on the side of the road. It was somewhere on a small, quiet road around Brownsville, TX. He was driving home late one night from work on some quiet side road and saw a girl sitting on the side of the road with long dark hair, ratty clothing. He pulled up to her and asked if she was ok, tried to offer her water and/or his unfinished lunch from the day. When she looked up at him, she had "dead eyes and long fangs" that he could see. He punched the gas and never took that road again. One of a couple spooky stories I was told from the Brownsville area

That bass boost was perfectly timed 😂😂😂 it was at the end of the story around 6:30 scared my mom cold. Im on a road trip and have 2 6 inch subwoofers.
😂😂😂
Ditto ✌️ I have 2 twelves 😆
I very rarely even get chills listening to paranormal/horror stories but this Bells canyon one somehow gets to me. I know it has been memed to hell and back but for me it's one of the best stories I've ever heard. It also helps that MrBallen is an incredibly talented storyteller.
Yea someone sitting outside your tent is sketchy shit
That's why I always bring my pit bull Sophie she can hear a demons whisper from whiles away haha 🤣
I remember being a young teenage girl camped in a tent, in a clearing too far from a town, when suddenly a car started doing donuts in the camp ground. Being the only one in the camp ground, and a young female alone, I was pretty freaked. So what did I do? Like a good Catholic girl - I said the rosary and hoped they'd go away! Thankfully they did.
Cause it’s the most realistic one most likely it was a crazy harmless weirdo in the woods
Mmmmmmmm skinwalker
do we know what bells canyon is? does it mean anything to anyone?
“Do you know how to get to bel..”
Several gunshots
Your comment made my day.
Big facts. I can't help you with Bells Canyon, but if you're looking for Stairway to Heaven...
lol
THANK CHRIST
Legit "laughed out loud" at this 🤣😂🤣
Sometimes the story is so jarring that when John moves on to the next one I don't pay attention because I am still processing the story I just heard lol
I’ve been wondering where the “Do you know how to get to Bells Canyon?” jokes in the comments of other MrBallen videos came from. Now I know lol.
What a gift for storytelling. Listening to you, one can almost imagine how tribes of people w/o a written language could pass their history down through spoken word.
Well put my man. I’m pretty sure more history over the centuries was saved by word of mouth than by hieroglyphics and books.
Damn that’s deep
@@jaybigshake Hey thanks ! I do have a cogent thought every now and again. 👋👋👋
After months of listening to this channel and seeing all the bells canyon references, I finally found bells canyon.
I FOUND BELLS CANYON
i’m so glad i watched the video first and i understand all the references 😂
How do you get there
Same!! Omg 🤣🤣🤣
Welcome to the club buddy... welcome to the club. You’re one of us now. Hahaha
Me too!!
Continuously ask the like button "Do you know how to get to Bells Canyon?"
hahaha
I'm wondering what was so special about 'Bells Canyon'.
Find bells canyon. Dude lives there.
Too funny
Who else is about to Google bells canyon
Bells Cannon slaps everytime! This is my forth time hearing it.
Regarding Matt from "Bells Canyon" . . . he finally returns to his car after that harrowing ordeal in the back country, and as soon as he's ready to race away, he hears that ominous voice again, now coming from the backseat area: "TAKE ME TO BELLS CANYON."
I was having a fun time reading the funny comments and now I'm scared AGAIN!! thanks💔😐
@@JasbirSingh-y7c Seriously? My comment was intended as parody. I thought it would be funny if Matt's stalker essentially makes a Taxi driver or chauffer out of him in the end. 😉
@@Steve_Vendetta Bells canyon man has forever since been watching over Matt hoping that one day, he takes him there
Lmao 🤣
😱🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"He never committed a crime"
•Intimidation
•Stalking
•Harassment
Maybe that’s a crime or you live but it’s not a crime where I live and maybe an hour he lives I don’t know where he lives there so I don’t think it’s a crime there but the police are not doing that because I also work with the story you guys telling wherever I’m like wherever he lives in might not be a crime there too but like so out of this I really stop talking is watching by the way my hands are sticky now so this is voice so if it makes no sense that’s because it’s funny laughing fuck you emoji no it doesn’t pick it up no no no no no no no no no no no no no no…… Dot.

Destruction of property
@@JamesCharIes you utter fcuking nut job 😂. Did you get the boat before you started going back to the original comment on your private bits rather than simply doing a little more than just the cost for it or something?
@@elavke5441 I don't think breaking branches is destruction of property.
"He didn't commit a crime. He was just TERRIFYING!" That part made me LOL.
Mr. Ballen I am 5months sober from Meth / fentanyl. Your stories have helped me stay clean. I wanted to thank you for what you do. Godbless
Keep it up! ❤❤
@ 🙏 thank you
Well done 👏 Wishing you well 👍
This man has hundreds of videos and I've watched almost half of them in just over a week. What is my life and why is this content so fascinating?
Lmao me too 😂 just endless binging
Same freaking same lol😂
I'm in the same MrBallen rabbit hole as well my friend
😂 yep
That’s me rn
Well when Matt was flashing his light all around the woods to locate and identify the noises I'm just glad he didn't see any Japanese Torpedo boats to worry about
"We're fighting 8 of them!!"
"🤦♀️JFC, not this shit again... NO SNAKES!"
Very funny!!
Hahahaha
Komchaka approves this message
Excellent!
That last story was terrifying, and why you should never go out in the wilderness without a firearm and a locator beacon.
Hell, have both of those.
Great advice. 😊 I learnt that from Mr Paulides
And don't forget the ammo and batteries!
Exactly ALWAYS have a sidearm
Yup
Wonderful Storytelling 🎉❤ … BRAVO 🙌🏾
Imagine you're this poor guy lost in the woods for days and the first person you meet won't give you directions, and he's your only chance of getting out of the woods alive so you chase him for days asking again and again and he just never caves.
I mean, if this dude really was lost though, he still would've got what he needed. Considering he followed this man for three days until Matt got back to the parking lot, he would've found out how to leave the forest from following him and could go ask someone else who he HADN'T scared the pants off for directions/a phone/a ride lmao. But it also makes no sense that he's lost, if I was desperately lost and happened to come across my salvation I sure as shit wouldn't have hid in the woods all day and night and ran when confronted with a flashlight and only ever ask for directions to Bells Canyon. 😆 I'd be crying and introducing myself, saying 'I'm so lost, thank god I stumbled across you, I left from Bells Canyon and it's been so many days and I have no clue how far I've walked or how long I've been gone, can you please help me get to the nearest phone/etc. so I can go home?' No sane person in the middle of nowhere would run away from help or scare them so bad they didn't wanna help you. So maybe they were mentally ill? Or had been out there long enough to become feral, at which point they probably wouldn't care too much about Bells Canyon imo lol.🤷
A simple yes or no.
@@destineeryan6773 Or they were a spirit, an echo of how this man had passed away, looking for Bells Canyon
@@griffintgm9467 Also possible imo. I have an open mind, but I try to be skeptical and always reach for the most rational options first, as I do think in general people often jump to paranormal conclusions as the reason before looking at practical ones, but to me there are some undeniably unexplainable encounters. I say with 100% confidence that there are definitely things that humanity doesn’t, and may never, understand. Even if spirits, demons, echoes, etc. are never confirmed, that does not mean no such thing exists. Hell, there’s so many creatures that we thought were mythical or hoaxes before actually being discovered, like the giant squid. I don’t really put anything past the universe, we as a species don’t even understand the nature of why *we’re* conscious, so how the hell could we investigate what happens to consciousness after we die with current tech? My thought if he was something paranormal, it was either as you said, an echo of a dead hiker, or perhaps something else inhabiting the body and trying to minimize energy usage, so they rely on the easiest thing for the body to say, I.e. it’s last words.
Does that include running around a tent growling and acting like a wild animal
That last story would've been even better if the guy instead said, "We've been trying to reach you about your car's extended warranty."
😂😂😂
😭😭😭
Girl bye😭😂
That part💯
A dios meathole!
Rewatching this due to the upcoming merch drop. I know "Bell's Canyon" is the story that people quote the most but all three of these stories are terrifying and amazing.
same
Same
Same lmao
same 😂 😂
Same!
I think bells canyon is one of the OG Mr Ballen stories! Definitely one of the ones that stand out above the rest! Personally one of my favorites
It sounds like Matt should have:
1. Brought a bloody firearm.
2. Told someone where he was going.
3. Brought a radio or some kind of back up communication device.
4. Brought a bloody firearm.
Yep. Rule #1, file a hike plan. And carry a firearm. Or two. And...plenty of ammo, bc a firearm is no good without it, except for whacking someone on the head.
this is why I prefer pizza at home to hiking in the wild woods where no one ever goes to
Strongly agree with 1…and also 4 💪🏾👍🏾
@@ISeekSilence always in stories like this it's always the same. Person gets followed by someone with abnormal speed and the ability to move fast around rough terrain and when they make the same sound over and over again, my thoughts go straight to a vendigo. (or was it a flesh pedestrian?) Fits the description way too much. In this story as well.
bullets are no use against ghosts though,,,,,....
*Matt liked to go out in the backwoods alone to reset his mind from the stress of work*
Matt: well that was counterproductive
😂
Lol
hehe
Do you know how to go bells canyon ?
My thoughts exactly!!!
Me with sweaty palms during the last story: "He lives to tell the story. He lives to tell the story. He lives to tell the story...."
"So he got back into this tent-" nooooooo, whyyy?!?!?!? 😱😱😱
Palms swetty knees week arms are heavy moms spaggethi
😂😂😂
I did the exact the same thing
@@huginug NO CLUE!
Brooo the Bell’s Canyon story is an absolute OG!! I remember listening to this one the day it came out. Still a fan fav today 3 years later!
Mysterious creepy guy: "Do you know how to get to Bell's Canyon?"
Matt: "No, but did you know your new vehicle's warranty just expired?"
"I don't know how to get to Bell's Canyon, but I do know how to save you 15% or more on car insurance. Sit with me by the fire and I'll tell you all about the Good News. Geico Jesus saves! You money on car insurance!"
I don't care about vehicle warranty or bells canyon. to focused on Boots--boots--boots--boots
marching up and down again
oh my god keep me from going lunatic
Creepy guy: Do you know how to get to Bells Canyon?
Matt: No, but did you know if you switch to Geico you can save 15% or more on car insurance
Omg this comment is in every video. Stop stealing comments and get your own
@@JinxMarie1985 It still made me laugh 😂
Imagine being this good at UA-cam within a year of creating your channel
It's not something we asked for but it's something we needed 👌💪
@@joannemarc9121 big facts🤝
Dude blew up so fuckin fast
Bell's Canyon Community College has a fantastic UA-cam Program guaranteed to make you a bonified UA-cam legend in no time.👌👍 that's why the gentleman( I think of him as the true protagonist of the story) was so frantic to get there in our 3rd story. Also, just asking for directions there even made him the star of a UA-cam video, proving it works.
Dude he made it in 2015
The scariest part about this is how Misty's mom was driving.
Right, that girl is probably the gost of the girl she ran over.
True. But i can relate to her driving bcuz i cant see good as well but can see in the dark ok, just blurry. Anxiety does kick in so you start driving faster going 80 thinkingi must be going too slow, only feels like im going 30mph..
☠️☠️☠️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@justindunlap1235 😂😂😂🤣👌
@@justindunlap1235 that's golden 😆
I have a truly daunting and scary story myself. It was the other day when I realized that I've watched all of your videos and now I have to wait for new episodes like it's the 90s-early 2000s.
