My 12 year old son passed away last year. He loved your videos. My daughters and I watch you now and it’s brings us comfort. Keep it up! Thank you!
I'm truly sorry to hear that, 3 years ago this June my cousin lost a 2-3 year battle with cancer, he was my best friend, he passed 6 days after he turned 16. It's very hard losing family members especially if they're young, I have a very dangerous job and I've came closer to death more times than I'd like to remember but it's taught me to try to enjoy life while I can because it's short. I hope and pray you can remember as many of the good memories as possible and that in those memories, you might find more peace.
I'm so sorry for your loss
Sorry for your loss I'm sure he's watching over you guys I know how it feels to lose someone you love dearly. God bless 🙏
Sorry for your loss
Was he vaccinated?
the fact that john still had to be in prison after everyone found out that he wasnt the murderer is very sad, and he wasted his years in prison for no reason when he could have enjoyed his life outside in the world 😭
That part made me so mad! But it was awesome to hear he got married and had children and lived till 80 (which was obv rare back then), so at least he got to live a fulfilled life afterwards.
Facts he ain’t get money for it or nothing smh lol
I'm in the same boat now
Yep, can’t believe that after the funeral,someone didn’t take Reginald’s confession to the police. On the other hand, as a poor person, they probably wouldn’t have done anything for John anyway.
@@kayleigh3648it wasn't actually that rare for people to live to 80. People get this false idea that The average age at death was like 35, which it was, but because of infant mortality bringing the average down.
A huge shoutout to the Mr Ballen foundation: I recently found out that your foundation donated to the victim services nonprofit I work for and I want to personally thank you (& everyone at your foundation) for your support 🩷 I’ve been following your videos/podcast for years and have always admired how respectful you are to the victims and their loved ones when talking about cases. It means a lot to see a creator using their platform to make a difference in the lives of the victims and loved ones impacted by these incidents. Thank you for all that you do, you’re the best!
You work for a non-profit. YOU are the best!
@@FaithG-tx2hw That’s very kind, thank you 🫶🏻
That's amazing! And so are you for what you do and all your hard work! 😊❤❤❤
Mr. Ballen i am a teacher to nursing students and i listen to you all the time and enjoy your stories. My husband and I watch often. I want to thank you as i noticed the other day that my instruction to students seemed more excited and I realized it is from listening to you and how you tell stories in such an interesting way, I have began teaching in a more interesting way so thank you and I love your story telling.
"Real photo of hot cocoa" made me crack up XD
It's sad to think there is actually people in this world who would question that lol.
Haha I came to say the same thing!
Me too
7:23
It's most likely labelling real photos from AI generated images.
So after 6 years, despite the confession of the killer, they still made him serve the entire sentence? Man, that's rough.
deepg,
That's the first thing I thought too. Don't get it.
People didn't want to shame his reputation is the only thing I can think.
That just SUCKS! if that's the reason.
The poor and the illiterate got screwed by the legal system in Victorian Britain. Same as today.
Exactly what I was thinking!
Maybe the relatives did not inform the police
John was below their "station" and the Brits of that time would never soil the reputation of their own. In fact, if you watch "Are You Being Served" a British comedy from '70s to 2000s , you'll see that they still are that way. Social standing is most important to them.
Mr. Ballen. I did as you instructed about the Airbnb and invited the like button. He brought all four of his pet skunks to stay with him, none of which had their stink glands removed.
Your advice always backfires on me
lmfao
@@myleg6720 🤣🩷
@@myleg6720 🤣🩵 thank you for that. A lot of people criticize me when I make these comments and tell me they’re not funny and they’re stupid so I appreciate that.
It was funny. :))
@@user-dp7gu1zf8s 😍
I have tried listening to some of the other storytellers on here, but so far none of them are quite the caliber of mrballen, he has managed to perfect a story telling style that brings you right to the edge of your seat and looking over your shoulder and making sure all the curtains and blinds are closed…as the grandchild and daughter of some of the finest tellers of “ghost tales” in the hills and hollers of Southern West Virginia I am impressed and thrilled that he is sharing his gift with all of us…it’s rare to find someone who has the gift of telling these stories in such a way that you believe every single word they say. Thank you Mr Allen and thank you for your service to our Country 👏🏻👏🏻
The Why Files, different, but better imo.
I lost my daddy in march very suddenly, you have got me through some very dark nights , I've binged watched all your videos and has helped me greatly to take my mind off things for a while , your a lifesaver x❤
Aaaaw, condolences. 😢
Yeah, sadly I know how you feel. I lost my Daddy back on 11/28/23. It was not expected. It hasn't been 5 months yet, and I guess time does heal, but damn do I miss him. I'm sure my Mom misses him like crazy. They were married 57 years, and together for almost 60. He was an awesome Dad, and I'm sure your Daddy was fantastic. What did you love most about him?
I lost my daddy nearly 8 years ago now and I still dream of him almost nightly. In fact I napped earlier today and dreamed of him making sure I had a heater so I wouldn’t be cold. (It was cold in my room and I realized when I woke up that’s why I’d dreamt that) Even in my dreams he’s still being the daddy he always was. All this to say, you have my deepest and most sincere condolences, internet friend. It is a devastating loss and I am so so so soooo sorry for your loss!
My brother just passed away Saturday and yes I'm binge-watching Mr Ballin for the last 2 days cuz I can't sleep so yes thank you Mr B Allen really have helped
I am very sorry for your loss. This is very hard.
this is a message for the like button: blink twice if you need help
I think Ballen had it blindfolded
😉😉
😂😂😂😂😂😂
It blinked 3 times I have no ideas what that means🤔🤔😂😂
👀😑👀😑👀
THIS PODCAST OF YOURS SAVED MY LIFE (mental health, being able to save the podcast for downloads when I was out of reception, the biggest PTSD ease).
THE SPOTIFY CREW IS BACK!!!!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH, if I’m ever able to get the Amazon Music one, I’m SO ON IT, BUT THANK YOU SO MUCH, that podcast and your stories are just amazing. You and your work and charity is one of the most incredible things ever and a wonder of the world in our generation/lifetime.
What truly fascinating timing.
I WAS LIKE WTHHHH
Was looking for this comment
Someone had to point it out
Yup thought the same thing! Maybe he needs to start a new channel Mr Ballens psychic predictions! 😂
He changed the title name after he passed. When I first listened to it, it had a different title
So amazed by this story. What a wonderful woman ( Emma) was that she continued to forgive John and gave him opportunities as we all stuff up in this world. And police having an assumption which resulted in tunnel vision is not unusual. I do believe in Devine intervention. And this case definitely indicates thst it exists.
Probably gonna get buried.. but MrBallen has helped me see the brighter side of life… i have custody of my son and I’m in a battle rn… these story’s have helped me reflect on my life and I couldn’t be more grateful! Thank you for your service my man and keep truckin🤙🏻
Shouldn’t have cheated, he was a good man.
We find strength to keep going in the strangest places, under some of the most unexpected and unusual circumstances and in ways we would never have believed to even be possible. ❤
I believe in you. You've got this.❤
~APRIL LIPKE
true, he has a way of making you look at the positive side of life and staying humble - i can binge watch mr.ballen. Also i can binge watch the golden girls... lol - helllll no, just kidding one show of the G.G.s may kill me.
@@paulcarey191 hey uhm the title keeps changing did u notice that?
@@pervinmervinlol I think OP is a dude, and I think OP is talking about cancer or something as he refers to it as a “battle”
Anyone else been here since early 2020 . Mr b got me through lockdown and so much more . Story telling is a truly human gift and can change lives . John is someone with that gift
I really miss Mr Ballen uploading 2/3/4 videos per week. Those days were really good.
Having another back surgery tomorrow-my 21st. Thanks for getting me through yet another health issue. You’re the best. ❣️
good luck!!
I hope your surgery goes better than expected and that you have a quick recovery! Hopefully, this will be your last surgery 🙏
How did it go
@@pyroslasher very well, I think. I’m still loopy from anesthesia. Not much pain, which is a blessing, indeed. Thank you so much for asking. I love this “fam” on Mr. Ballen’s channel. I’ve been following him for years. He had less than 100k when I started. He’s the absolute best, as are his followers! ❣️
@@pineywoodslawandcrime Very glad to hear that. Hopefully after this surgery you won't need much more if any at all and wish you have a quick recovery!
I've checked out youtube about seven times today, and each time this story has a different title. It's divine intervention! God is telling me I spend way too much time here.
Is it a reupload because I think the beginning of the video seems different 🤔
@@basedkaren51 UA-cam has been strange towards the religious community.. many of my comments regarding Christianity get removed.
@@Axel-zc6xj Big Brother 1984 is already here.

Me too! That is really weird
Real photo of hot cocoa 😅
22 years in prison for nothing, what a sad story 😭
I haven’t watched Mr. Ballen for a little while (blame the algorithm), and I’m so happy to see he has 8.5+ million subscribers. You deserve it, John!
Subscribe lol 😊
Literally just saw that he has 8.74m subscribers and I thought to myself: "That's a jump from last time, how many did he have a few months ago?"
I remember discovering him in 2021 and started binge-watching all of his videos in one night. He sure has come a long way since then
you rely on the algorithm for what videos you watch? lol
@@dorraj4685fucking NPCs 😂
I'm so grateful for Mr Ballen!
I'm in recovery for an eating disorder and I always watch your videos when I'm eating alone. They help me get through my meals. These past couple weeks have been harder than usual and your videos are the only things keeping me from completely relapsing.
You do so much more than just entertain us, you help so many people.
Don't give up, even if you slip up! ❤❤
I agree he gets people through rough times, I’ve been where you’re at, you can do this !
Waaaaa look at me I dont want to eat my bickies WAAAAAA
@cheetah keep going sweet! I went through it too, came out the otherside. It can be done. You can do it ❤
Eat your food
Hey man, just finishing up your interview on The Sean Ryan show and I just wanted to say how much I appreciate your openess about everything. Such a good interview. I wasnt in the military but it all resonated with me. Thanks for all you do man, keep up the good work! Been listening to your show since 2020.
MrBallen, I find your timing to make this OJ comparison strange, dark, and mysterious.
What was the original title????
@@Ginanotfromitaly he referenced the shocking outcome of the OJ trial lmao
@@Jessica-li6we 👍
Mr Ballen is the greatest storyteller in my books. The way he makes his audience feel like they are a part of the story is unreal. Much love from SA❤
Jesus get a room will you
one day he will run out of stories and have to create his own.
I can’t wait to get his book!!
I know!!! I'm super excited for next Sunday. I wish that he would upload at least 2 each week. I can't get enough MrBallen😃 I'm very happy for the success of your podcasts and channel
@@SunTzuMedia Stay in your room! Jealous.
I have said it before, but it is worth mentioning again. Watching Mr. Ballen tell a story is a huge part of the experience. I always try to watch the videos vs just listening. It makes the story that much better. Big fan. Super happy about your success. You have definitely found your calling.
When did u say it before?
Same here... the podcasts aren't nearly as good cause I can't see John, I also miss him hiding Lil pics for us to find in the story... idk y he stopped that... I guess he realized his storytelling was good enough in its own n that gimmick kinda distracted ppl from the story, I know I was always looking out for it.
@@therealDawnBarton I think that because he has become so huge things had to change. I am guessing he hired a bunch of production people who are running to show. And they are telling him not to do it for whatever reason. I miss his goofy side, “me and old seagull lung” and how he could never get through them without cracking up. I loved that. It showed a side of him that I am worried we won’t see any more. But hey, things change, there is nothing to be done about it. But if they make it to where we can’t see him, his flannel shirts, his scraggly beard, and ponytail, and crazy gestures, I am done.
Wow! Awesome story. So happy John got to live a long and fulfilled life! The twists and turns in all your stories never disappoint! Thank you Mr Ballen!
Mr. Ballen, you tell the best stories. Thank you 😊
Mr . Ballen , Thank you for bringing back the art of story-telling . ❤ I look forward to your new show every Sunday . 💕
MrBallen has infectious energy when it comes to storytelling. He never loses sight of who he is when articulating his insights and deeper understanding of the topic he’s discussing.
I gotta learn how to tell stories like him. He's the best storyteller I've ever seen
The timing of you mentioning OJ is pretty wild
The title and the timing....
Something IS strange, dark and mysterious about this!
Premonition predates post mortem?
I’ve been watching your videos for 4 years now and i’ll never stop! I love your storytelling Mr. Ballen 💞💞💞
Same here!
Appreciate you!! ❤🙏
A Sunday with Mr Ballen is a Sunday well spent. Thanks , John.
Well said🤗
Very true
Mr. Ballen’s videos are all my man & I listened to on a 7-hour road trip recently. 🥰 Thanks for having such awesome content!
I've been dealing with severe depression because of being cyberbullied by people I thought were my friends, your videos help me get through every hard time in my life. Thank you for being such an awesome person in a world where there aren't many awesome people left.
I'm sorry. Have you gone to the police?
Funny... Someone left the EXACT same comment earlier today.
@@saltydorito7801 I don't even know what the heck you're talking about I left that over a day ago.
@@terricox3559 the cops wouldn't do anything about cyberbullying... well at least last time they didn't... and I'm handling it by just staying off those socials and watching Mr. Ballen videos as well as working on personal hobby projects. I'm hoping like most cyberbullying it will eventually pass if the bullies get bored enough but thank you for your concern, I appreciate it.

This guy is proof we don’t need TV we just need excellent story tellers ❤Thank you Mr ballen 👍🏻
Oh yeah, TV. Moving wallpaper lol
Believe it or not, I haven't watched anything on TV since the COVID pandemic.
@1shot516....Mr Ballen is absolutely 💯 amazing. His story telling is on another level !! He's such a natural.
Oy vey get a room
If you also enjoy Mr B's podcast (without the visual content) why not try some audiobooks (most public libraries give free access now to apps like Borrowbox so it doesn't need to cost you anything). Prepare for your mind to be blown in the best possible ways 😊
I listen to your stories almost every night before bed . Absolutely love what you and the team are doing . I really appreciate all the hard work that goes on in front and behind the camera .
I love it that Mr Ballen says “go binge the podcast” like people don’t naturally do that once they find it.
Just chucking it out there... I hate the podcasts... what am I supposed to look at!? Lol I have adhd I need visual stimulation 😂
@@stuplays6632yeah I have adhd too but I enjoy the podcasts if I'm trying to relax/sleep but either way I zone out and have to keep replaying parts I miss
Sometimes I like to stretch things out sometimes I like to binge
The moral of the story is you cannot trust, rich people, because even after those people who Reginald confess to, they still left that poor man in prison to rot.
Exactly! It was an open secret, and yet no one did anything to right that wrong.
I don't know about the rich people jab but that was definitely an horrific injustice 😡 😢
FINALLY!!! A comment that has something to do with the story!!! ❤ THANK YOU!
i believe the reginald acted funny in court few times is bcs of his mental condition,but why did he act so perfectly the first time and not the other days?maybe he was afraid to get caught if he proved that this man is innocent?
Facts
When my 4yr old hears Mr. Ballen playing, he comes running 😅. He knows it's storytime, and watches with much interest ❤
Such a good story! The strange dark and mysterious delivered in story format by an amazing story teller brightens the darkest of my days! ❤ Best UA-camr ever !
Thanks Mr Ballen for always cheering us up !
You’re last. Now get out!
@@njad3 relax man 😅 don’t be so possessive, you can have him 😅
Underrated combat
Cheering who up? I'm still super hyper off my team winning yesterday. VVVAMOS
Yes true
Youve provided more needed distractions then i can count with your videos. I had my wisdom teeth pulled and here I am turning to you again. Thank you for all that you do 🙏🏼
I hope you are recovering quickly!
@@cheetahtfk7274 Thank you so much!
I want to say thank you for you're transparency on SRS. Was a breath of fresh air
As always, a great story! Thanks for doing what you do-You make my morning commute interesting.
Mr. B's appearance on the Shawn Ryan show was top tier. The best part being that, candidly, it's even more evident how sharp, charismatic and funny he is. All the trademark traits of a frogman!
So good!!! Worth every minute!!
I love MrBallen's stories. He tells them so well. They're addictive! A lot of times, it's like reading an Edgar Allen Poe story. And you can tell he puts a lot of work into each and every episode. Thank you, MrBallen!
Well the algorithm is about to insanely boost this vid
Thank you for all the contacts that you be giving us because literally when I do these 12-hour overnight shifts u have the binge watch content that keeps me up
Nothing beats than watching Mrballen on Sunday Mornings. I am a die hard fan of John and all the work he does! Kudos to you brother. ✌️
Morning? You must be down under or Antarctica or Saudi Arabia 😂
A bot account literally copied and pasted your comment and it has over 170 likes vs your current 26.
Stupid bots 😂
Appreciate the support!! ❤🙏
I recently had a facebook friend ask for podcast recommendations and i was so ready to sugget MrBallen but everyone else beat me to it. I ended up recommending Dark History because if anyone is on par with MrBallen, its Bailey. Youre the best my guy!
Yes Bailey is great
Isn’t that the one who does Makeup & Murder? I watched a couple of her episodes & found it all disrespectful to the victims. No offense. These are serious stories about real people experiencing unimaginable trauma & violence.
Bedtime Stories and Wartime Stories are also really good.
even though bailey did it all first
@@b-dub6865 So why is it ok for mr ballen to talk about victims of crime but not Bailey? Hypocrite much? Lol
John you are walking, talking, storytelling miracle because of divine intervention, may God continue to bless you🙏
It was divine intervention that you titled this video the way you did….
The title has changed multiple times since it was uploaded 4 days ago. He changed it to this because OJ Simpson died and he wanted people to find his video when searching for that. He's lacking in where he wants to be in views, it showed through this desperate tactic.
Crazy story. I became a time traveler specifically so I could get the strange dark and mysterious in story format one week in advance. This ones a banger -trust me
Too funny
What's next week's national lottery numbers
Hasnt had a banger in last 3 years. True crime sucks

Mee too. ( Sydney). Mr Ballen makes a shitty Monday a whole lot better!
Watching this on my usual Thursday that I watch you videos, and the title is amazing lol
So weird he passed away today and you mentioned him Sunday
Just what I needed on my Sunday. Thank you Mr. Ballen ❤
There is no Sunday. Today is Monday part 1

I've been watching your content for years and upon this morning driving to work I put on the SRS and lo and behold you are on their. I never knew you were a seal. This brings tears to my eyes, you are truly amazing.
John we love u so much ur definitely the best story teller usually just sitting watching someone talk is so boring to me but I have been following u for a few years now and I'm obsessed with ur stories ..I look forward to new videos...I salute u for what u did for our country and I salute u for keeping us entertained with all ur stories in the amazing way u keep us hooked I love u...ur wife is a lucky women and ur babies are lucky to have u as a father ur truly an amazing person
Awesome video and caught your podcast episode on the Shawn Ryan show was a good listen learned a lot about you and made me an even bigger fan your an awesome dude thanks for serving and thanks for entertaining us with the strange dark and mysterious
All though i miss the old days when we got multiple stories, the overall production and quality of the channels and podcasts has become phenomenal. Well done MrB
Love Mr. Ballen's storytelling! I miss your weekly 2-3 uploads, but understand that you are busy! :)
He's unloading his content on other platforms.
There is an original podcast episode released every week!
You should give his podcasts a listen. They're all free now since he's no longer exclusive to Amazon. I've had Amazon for years but never listened to podcasts until recently. They're so much better than listening on UA-cam.
@@josiegipson90 I had a hard time listening to his podcasts. For one it barely sounds like him and two they seem long and drawn out. Any recommendations for a really good one?
@@jessicaaragon4215 did you listen to them on the platforms or did you listen to them on those UA-cam channels that upload from Amazon? The UA-cam channels that upload absolutely don't sound good at all. The ones on Amazon that are re-uploads from this channel don't sound good either even though he says they're remastered. I think that's why they sound so bad on the UA-cam channel. I won't say the channels are stealing the content because I've been chewed out by numerous people on the non check marked channel by people who said Mr Ballen's staff run that channel as well but don't take credit because the podcast was at the time exclusive to Amazon. But anyway, the podcast only episodes sound good on Amazon. They do get all drawn out. I do enjoy his storytelling but I've noticed he fills in with way too many unnecessary details but leaves important stuff out all the time. Well, not him. Whoever does his writing. Those podcasts have long lists of employees. I always think of "his" style as a campfire made for TV dramatized version of events..sorta like Lifetime movies. I always have something playing on my tv or phone so the longer the better for me. I listen and watch a lot of content. I watch more on streaming services than I listen to platforms though. Right now I've been listening to his medical mysteries series. It's super, super good. I've actually learned a bunch of stuff I didn't know. Run, fool is great too but it's read by Rodney Barnes. He is splendid. His voice is radio/voiceover quality. As for anyone else, I haven't found anything. I'm so late to the podcast thing, I don't even know how to find anything good.. Everything I've found on Amazon besides Ballen content is AI from Reddit. Kinda irritating because that's one reason I wanted to listen to podcasts is to get away from all the AI and reddit content.
“Real photo of Hot Cocoa” probably the most tongue-in-cheek joke I’ve seen on this channel 👍
I have been listening to you for years now! Stumbled across your videos by chance and have been hooked ever since! Thank you for these, I greatly look forward to the new videos ever week. Plus your fundraising for different organizations is amazing. Thank you for what you do!
Mr. Ballen seems like the kind of guy that if you go to a neighborhood BBQ, he would be telling one of his stories.
People would be so engrossed, even the person at the grill would be burning the food to listen to the story. You rock Mr. Ballen
I could just picture it!
I can smell the burning BBQ
I would still eat the burnt BBQ while still listening to Mr.Ballen's story
While his wife just rolls her eyes at this point I’m sure 😂
You got that right. Just something about that guy. 😊
The most consistent story teller around here... Thanks my dude.
Idk.
That's a tight race!
I almost think Mike at That Chapter might be more consistent.
Plus he says, "I love ya, Mike out!"
My favorite part!
💜❤💜
I give it to Mr Ballen over Mike OVERALL as when Mr Ballen started these storytelling vids, he was doing 4/5 a week steadily for about 2 years The output was insane. Mike's always been a once a week guy, but nonetheless I watch them both equally. But Mike has the Life Insurance song and dance. It's few and far between, but you can't help getting excited when you know it's coming any second. And Disturban is VERY CONSISTENT aswell and really good. Ballen, Mike and the Disturban guy are my holy trinity of storytellers.
He’s the best!! ❣️
I love Mike, too!! @@sweetmissypetuniawilson9206
Mike uploads TWICE a week: Tuesdays and Fridays!!@@JamesHeinrich-vk7vz
Your interview on the Shawn Ryan Show was awesome dude! I could have listened to you talk for another 4 hours haha! Best wishes John
It's amazing to see how much you've grown in the past few years. Between you and wendigoon you are my favorite UA-cam storyteller. Thank you for what you do!
MrBallen you are just the greatest! Thank you for all your amazing stories!!!! My Sunday is complete ❤
❤🙏
Mine, too!
I just love the way Mr. Ballen talks with his hands. Have you ever thought about storytelling the strange dark and mysterious in sign language, Mr. Ballen?
The timing on this with OJ passing overnight.
I read the title and was like 😳 crazy timing!
What was the title?
The title must have been changed but I'm guessing it had something to do with OJ.What was the title????
Thank you, sir!
Your episodes where a major part of keeping me sane after I returned to the UK from living in China 12 years.
I'm now working as a cleaner at a retirement home so I can save up the capital and go start a new life in Sevilla, Spain.
Thank you for all the amazing work you put into each awesome episode!❤
Born to late to experience world exploration and born to early to experience space exploration but right on time to experience the strange, dark, and mysterious delivered in story format.
Damn… this probably jinxed Mr OJ.
Jk hahahaha!
One thing I love about Mr. Ballen is his channel is strictly story telling and no politics or anything. It’s just so pure. ❤
Sunday is now complete 😊

@@Franco_76how old are you? That will help me explain the context for you.
100%, I can very clearly picture that😅
The timing of the title of this video holy crap
Very interesting! You release this video with OJ's name in the title 3 days before he passes away. Divine intervention?
I just love this channel so much and the way John tells the stories you can picture it clearly in your head
Keep up the excellent work Mr Ballen you sure know how to captivate an audience. Best Wishes from Northern Ireland xx
That actually surprised me who the killer was. Wow, that was a great story, and as always told brilliantly!
Crazy timing for Title

Bud, you're the best. Far prefer listening to your stories then watching a movie etc.
Please keep them coming.
May the Lord always watch over you and your loved ones. Cheers
Being from England I know the story of the man that hanging failed to kill. But you come at thesebstories from.such a different and unique perspective, its not till nearly the end that I've realised what the story was actually about! Thank you for your your very special storytelling talent.❤
