Air Tags came out three years ago and he said he was graduating high school during the story. But in the beginning he mentioned that he was 25 when he moved out of the beach town. Unless he was 22, the author was def making it up
Clearly, they weren't rich enough to be allowed on the private beaches, though. If they were really as well off as they claimed, then their family would have entry to at least one of the club's beaches. The son would have access by default. Even if they wanted to be somewhere private, they could have gone in to the beach entrance, then gone wherever they felt like going after they gained entry. They were also drinking and smoking weed. What they saw were probably ordinary people, and they hallucinated the other stuff, because they were paranoid. Many private beaches have security drones, and the guard may have been on the beach controlling it. Shadows made the arms seem longer. They ran, the guards found their bikes and took them, hoping someone would come and claim them.
@jenx5870 I dunno what weed you've tried, but in the 15 years that I used to smoke weed, I have never hallucinated... 🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️🤔🤔🤔 paranoid? only when I'd see a cop 👮🏾♂️... 😂😂😂
Wait a minute 🤨 The guy from story 1 says he had lived in his beach city until he was 25. So - obviously - he is AT LEAST 25 when writing the story. In the story he says he was 18 when it all happened which means it was around 7 to 8 years ago. He also claims tho that they were tracked by an Apple Air Tag. Air Tag came out in April 2021, so a bit over 3 years ago (as seen from now, July 2024)...
There’s something so annoying but also terrifying about the second story. I hate having so many questions I know won’t get answered but it also adds to the horror because your brain just assumes the worst. Love these stories.
Completely agree. I love listening to Mr Ballen, but sometimes his "story format" with over-exaggerated and made up feelings and aspects are a little much
I was legit beginning to think it was the same person. They ALL drank and smoked pot and had "drones" involved. I'm pretty sure the second one was a security guard with added hallucinatory effects.
@@maxredjasper55hallucinating from what? Marijuana does cause hallucinations and alcohol would need to be consumed in high doses to even approach anything to cause a person to think they see something that isn't there. If they was able to properly see a drone in the dark night sky then they wasn't that intoxicated because blurred vision happens first.
@@Olivia_xoxo25 replying to random comments to be a douche sure isn't annoying, eh? but when someone shares their ideas, "OMG dude you're being so annoying, ugh"
I must admit these stories are completely unnerving. Being stalked by whomever or whatever in any particular setting after dark is bad enough. But being pursued by a group of people who want to rob your place of residence and potentially end your life is even worse. I liked whoever had the final story gave EXCELLENT advice to us all to always remember to lock our doors and windows regardless of where we live.
I like very much how you narrate your stories, you don’t add in unnecessary details that really just drag the story out. Also you have a great voice for storytelling!
Not sure if its just me but I appreciate how Mr Nightmare puts his adds in the beginning so while im listening I dont get a jump scared from a Nord VPN add or scent Bird add. 😂
What a coincidence was just binge watching some of the stuff I've missed. It's a tradition by now to come here every once in a while. Love your work! Shared multiple videos throughout the years in some school projects!!
How would one read along unless they purposefully turn on the captions? This video didn't have captions automatically on when viewing 🤔 sorry if I humiliated you as you was trying to sound cool and only proved your idiocy 😘
The first story was disturbing, being stalked by a drone and a Apple Airtag is something no one should ever experience. The second story with the creepy silhouettes with their hands down to their hips was also a creepy sight
It makes me sad I’ve watched all your videos so I have to find new people to watch waiting for you to drop. I cherish every time I get a notification you dropped a video
@@PunmasterSTP I have found a few that are really solid but they don’t have as many videos as Mr. N. Though Unit #522 has a lot. Do you want any recommendations? I listen to stories like this 8 hours a day at work.
@@Cdubby563 That's cool! I usually listen to scary stories at work as well, though not for all eight hours. I'll check out Unit #522 but will let you know if I need more recommendations 👍
Used to watch you years ago in highschool. Especially at night. Years later you're still here!! I'm glad. Tho i don't like the ad reads but get your coin dude!
I’ve been watching since I was 11. I’m now 21 & have 9 nieces & nephews, that I sit down on weekends & have scary story night with. we love you sir nightmare 🫡🤍
This man has been putting out consistent yet always improving content for the past decade with the best narration and delivery. It doesn’t seem like he’s going to stop either. I love Mr nightmare.
Currently doing a MARATON of Mr Nightmares Videos from the very beginning. My all time favourite RUclipsr. Every single time I've been scared or anxious in a situation, I've heard his voice in my head giving advice lol
LOL at guy in story #2. The first third of the story sounds like an ad by the Chamber of Commerce and a realtor. And then in small print…beware of aliens.
I loved this one ngl, especially because I do like the beach! the 2nd story it was pretty scary ngl. imagine just being there with friends and all you see in the distance where the beach is, more then 1 black figure just standing there and watching? Bro that is the most creepiest thing to ever witness in this world bro. Stay safe out there frfr
I think I've got an explanation for story 2. It was probably a mix of the joint they smoked the alcohol they drank that caused them to hallucinate. Add in high paranoia, and that's an even worse combination. As for the bikes, they were stolen. That's all for that.
I just posted the same thing before I saw your comment, lol. That's exactly what happened, except I think the security guard controlling the drone took the bikes to the lost and found.
I thought the exact same thing! They never even saw a drone and can just make out the silhouette of a person and then suddenly see 3 more? Yeah, I call being the high and drunk being the real scare.
Idk, they both appeared to have seen the same figure. Idk how that can be possible for a hallucination. Also still doesn’t explain the noise they both heard.
@@HalloweenHalloween-sc4jo That's what the writer saw. He didn't specify what his friend saw. Maybe they saw something different and thought that they were seeing the same thing.
i dont get why people lie to get their stories onto this channel…it’s so embarrassing 😭😭😭. honestly though mr.nightmare has been picking some weak stories lately idk what’s going on with his channel.
@@chipotlesnumber1stanit’s all just campfire stories. I wouldn’t be surprised if none of these stories on this channel were ever real. They don’t need to be tbh.
been watching for YEARS...i missed so many videos since im a college student and didn't have time to watch...been binge watching some days to catch up...finally did!
That 3rd story was terrifying! Just seeing all 4 of those guys swim there way towards them and having no weapons must have been so scary. Crazy how many doors that had to shut but even then it wasnt enough to stop them
The fact that 2 of 3 stories in this video are in my state make me not wanna spend a weekend at the shore. But I’m also surprised I haven’t experienced anything creepy down at the shore myself.
Just Like the other guy who posted you have inspired me to make my own stories too I really appreciate you you corpse and Mr Creeps and Chills are my biggest inspirations
Mr. Nightmare really showed us how to prepare for the worse. The two stories shows how to prepare. Story 1: If you hear a drone at some hours in the nights in an uneventful area, don't hesitate and get away as quick as you can. Story 3: What the video says "Do yourself a favor and lock your doors at night." The second story is what confuses and terrifies me (mainly because I watched it yesterday night). It was hard to tell if those were a group of dangerous men trying to terrify the two or were they unexplained creatures.
Been watching since I was in high school... Thank you for keeping the horror community alive🖤
Thank you for your awesome content,too! I absolutely love your channel 😁🖤

Could have changed some info for anonymity maybe. Who knows
I think quite a few stories on this site are made up.
“Never assume malice for what could easily be explained by stupidity”
And how did they call chuck and not notice the airtag notification on their phone
Story 2.... "i have to tell you how rich my family is and it really has nothing to do with story.... but im not bragging"

Exactly! The scariest stories are always the ones that are unexplainable and bizarre
Thought the same exact thing as he was halfway thru the story lol
the fact that i go to lavallette in the summer
I mean, they were high and drunk. Anything could have freaked them out.
here's your answer. marijuana + alcohol + pretentious rich kid = brain fog, illusions and exageration
My favorite thing about Mr. Nightmare is his absolute matter-of-fact delivery.
Can’t beat the OG story teller for sure
Completely agree. I love listening to Mr Ballen, but sometimes his "story format" with over-exaggerated and made up feelings and aspects are a little much

True. I had someone try to break into my apartment while I was home alone. Thank goodness my door was locked. ALWAYS keep your doors locked!
That should be common sense but I guess it isn't. Not to come off as rude😐
My family once encountered a group of possible murderers on a beach one night because a body was found the next day

Just Like the other guy who posted you have inspired me to make my own stories too I really appreciate you you corpse and Mr Creeps and Chills are my biggest inspirations
Mr. Nightmare really showed us how to prepare for the worse. The two stories shows how to prepare.
Story 1: If you hear a drone at some hours in the nights in an uneventful area, don't hesitate and get away as quick as you can.
Story 3: What the video says "Do yourself a favor and lock your doors at night."
The second story is what confuses and terrifies me (mainly because I watched it yesterday night). It was hard to tell if those were a group of dangerous men trying to terrify the two or were they unexplained creatures.
