☠︎ Found the secret easter egg in today's video? Be the 1st to comment what it is and where it occurs in the video, and you will get pinned!! ☠︎
Ronald McDonald @8:17
Dang that was fast xD
Noice
Damn I saw that but thought it was normal for some reason
Arrggghhh! If at first I don't succeed, try, try again. RMcD was obvious this time.
Probably did same thing I did.. made a quick comment then edited when he found it .. just beat me by a few secs with this method ;)
All of the “I think I can fit in there” stories never end well.
Correct, I ended up with 3 kids...
@@DanielBjorklund nice one
It's such a huge fear of mine. You'll never catch me crawling in something that small.
@@DanielBjorklund 😂😂😂
@@Cove_Blue unless you be LSD tripping..
It's truly incredible how we're all just one poor decision away from being a story on this channel!!😳
Like a 1% chance of being on this channel, he doesn’t cover everyone’s death
That's a silver lining for a violent death!
Just depends on whether or not it's strange, dark or mysterious enough to qualify...
I think about that all the time. I often picture him narrating my best adventures and stories too.
Two most important lessons I learned serving in the Marine Corps.
Never Volunteer.
Never take a dare.
You'll live longer.
1. say no to drugs
2. always dive with a dive buddy
3. if the furniture is too big or too heavy for the elevator, use the stairs
1. why are drugs talking to me
2. why am I considering replying
3. should I seek help
amen
3rd story - There's a common thread in these types of stories: the person is really really invested in their bad idea even when alarm bells are going off in their heads and even when other people warn them not to. The moral of the story is, always listen to your gut instinct and don't do something when warned not to by other people who are more familiar with the situation than you. The minor inconvenience that may be caused by doing it a different way is not worth losing your life over.
I love how Mr Ballen gets you to see the person who died as a human being before describing what happened to them, instead of treating them like some faceless inconsequential victim. He makes sure you understand that they had a life, which pushes you into seeing these events as the tragedies they are rather than some cheap bloodthirsty spectacle.
I think the reason we think that way is because there's 7 billion humans. Unless its directly influencing someone i doubt people care about other hoomans
My hope is that humanizing these people will make them relatable to viewers, which in turn *might* make someone out there think, and thus not do these fatally dumb things.
Then again, I may be underestimating human foolishness. 😔
Same here.
@Maarya Cousin so are you
I've said the same thing, in so many words. He's comes across so believably genuine and sympathtic which always makes me so emotional when it comes to all these heartbreaking tragedies.
My only regret from watching his videos is that I binged all of them so quickly and now I have to wait for new videos to come out.
That's me when I Binge watched the first 3 seasons of AOT years after they came out and then had to wait for every Sunday to come around for season 4 episodes😣
Yes!!!! And that I don't remember all of what I have heard so I can't annoy my friends with the stories. I did manage to get my dad to say "You are always on your phone and talking about these random stories..."
The same;p
Same
Yup. I binge watched when he was only at 400k subs. Now I gotta wait every week for three or more videos. Lol.
I’m speechless seeing some commenters blaming the guy, he warned her when he didn’t have to and even tried to help her when again he didn’t have to. DON’T blame others for your ACTIONS. NOBODY is Responsible for YOUR mistakes .
I'm not a diver and listening to all these diving stories, I think to myself, "No way will I make dangerous decisions like that thinking I can do it."
Then I remembered one time we went snorkeling and I veered off over a reef cliff where we literally see nothing below. I was so amazed and shocked at how dark and deep it was. When I lifted my head for some air, the tour guide saw me and quickly (slight panick) called me to go back to the shallow side, saying I wasn't supposed to be by the cliff without a guide.
Gotta be careful, I heard one story on this channel where a diver was by a cliff in water and I guess it was steep and accidentally slipped down it like 80 ft(probably more). I didn’t even know you could slip and fall underwater like that till I seen that video lol.
@@darklord9581 If you are talking about the Russian at the Blue Hole, he was descending with weights.
I think normally snorkelling over "nothing at all" shouldn't be dangerous, since the water will support the snorkeler anyway. The real risk probably comes from human curiosity as someone will dive too far to see more before noticing they cannot make it to the top anymore. Also predators and marine traffic could be a risk in open water.
The case with the Russian at the Blue Hole is different, but one reason why so many people die there could be because the archway lures people too far before they notice the danger they are in.
The Package story is a sad case of what people call "tunnel vision", where the brain becomes so sharply focused on achieving a particular task that it does not think beyond it, and hence basic logic, instinct, reasoning, etc fails.
That happens to me In rpg games
@@mr.unique4940 no more RPG games for you young man
Yes I agree. Btw your name makes me want croissants & coffee 🙃 ☕️ 🥐
I have to put this story into my subconscious vault for my adhd/ocd, to remind me when I obsess over accomplishing a thing that “hey, can I get more than JUST a little injured here??”
Bruh if someone told me putting that thing in the elevator is not a good idea, that it's old and could be unsafe,, I'm quitting immediately ☠️ But that's just me and my weird fear of being stuck in an elevator.
What I've learned from your channel:
1. Don't go into caves
2. Don't go scuba diving
3. Definitely don't go scuba diving
in caves
Ahh wisdom is grand
@Lisa Mylnn EVER! 😆
@@toddderrick4307 NEVER EVER 😂
And definitely don't follow the guy who says he's really good at scuba diving in caves
@@sloppytilapia run away from that guy
I think that I would have to list “dying stuck in a tight space” at the top of my worst-fears list.
Those are the stories that get me th most, because my mind will conjure feelings associated with a situation too well.
That and dying in an oven/autoclave.
@dzzzzz3366it will be quick at least.
Jamie’s last moments must have been absolutely horrifying. Especially on lsd. There’s no telling what was going through her head.
MrBallen is the ideal story teller. Doesn't try to insert unnecessary suspense or have some ominous voice..just delivers you a well described, well annunciated, and well edited story with a level head. Gotta give it up for this guy.
He’s great enough story to build and yet still straight to the point.
He’s really good at storytelling
Yep. And he's getting a lot better as time goes on. Great dude on every level.
Yeah like nexpo who pauses for like a full minute to build suspense but it just makes it cringey..mrballen is best on yt
Yes! After I watch all his newest videos I always try to find a RUclipsr that's like him but there's just nobody else! This content is amazing!
"... but he was confident..." normally a positive phrase. In a MrBallen video; almost always fatal.
Ever since i started watching MrBallen vidoes i have started to doubt myself whenever i feel confident. Im like "Do i actually know i can do this, or am i just being a stupid MrBallens-story character right now?" xD
I would like your comment, but it's on 666 which seems weirdly fitting for this channel.
Tim must have thought a thousand times as he ran out of air, I KNEW BETTER THAN TO DIVE ALONE... now I will die for my mistake...
Been in that situation have you?
I swear to God almost every one of these videos is a lesson in common sense and situational awareness
As someone who has taken LSD, I can't imagine being stuck in an air duct knowing I'm going to die. Whatever time she spent in that position, I'm 100% sure was absolute and utter hell.
I will never understand people that go into tight spaces for no reason, like no reason to go in a chimney ever.
Well, at least close..
Or heaven, if the trip was powerful enough...
Yea was gonna comment the same thing, I've felt like I'm dying when I know I'm completely fine on that type of stuff. Thats up there with being in a plane that's going down, or a sinking submarine for me as worst ways to die.
High AF on acid stuck in a hot, dark air duct is possibly one of the worst ways to die, psychologically speaking.
Noticed the common themes of all of these stories:
1. Read warning signs: and ignore them and go somewhere anyways.
2. People who are exploring, get into situation that above their experience.
3. Going somewhere or doing something without a partner.
4. Ignoring warnings of others.
5. Ignoring safety protocols.
6. Companies, in flawless capitalist fashion, deliberately prioritizing profits over the lives of human beings.
@@CoffeeNCardio government regulations usually prevents stuff like that.
@@pennyandwoody Doesn't do you any good if the company ignores those regulations or other safety measures. Some companies figure the fine for a wrongful death will be less than the extra profits. Need to be able to sue the owners of the company/corporation.
@@sirridesalot6652 yeah... True.
6. Random freak accidents.
Shit just happens sometiimes.
As a HVAC guy, don't crawl into ducts. It only ends the way you were just told.
Moral of the dive story: always dive with a buddy. I'm an occasional warm water diver and I recognize the importance of this!! It was scary learning to dive in a cold PA quarry in early spring with minimal visibility, but our instructor (who was a very experienced military diver) said you could dive anywhere if you could dive in those conditions!! Although, after watching MrBallen's cave diving video, I definitely would NOT dive in a cave!!
What I've learned from watching MrBallen's excellent storyformat strange dark and mysterious stories:
- Don't squeeze into tight spaces
- Don't work for industrial companies
- Don't wander into the wilderness alone (No matter your training)
Thanks MrBallen :D
There are millions of indrustrial workers, and relatively few die each year in civilized countries. But cave diver death toll is probrably a 100-1000 times that of the indrustrial worker, when taken into consideration how few people cave dive, yet how many end up dead.
Wilderness? I go into the woods and such all the time alone. Nothing wrong with it.
@@alainerookkitsunev5605 Yep. I’m a BASE jumper which is plenty dangerous, but you’ll never catch me in one of these caves. I just don’t get it.
The real lesson is to learn to stick up for yourself and others when your boss asks you to do something unreasonable.
And of course, do not go under the water AT ALL, no matter what. dont touch it, dont look at it, the most water u need is right there in your bathtub. (or caving, dont go caving.) just..dont do anything. ever.
The elevator story, imagine being the gentleman who helped her? Hearing the news she died must have been extremely eerie 😩
I hope he doesn’t blame himself for helping her and not kept on trying to tell her it was a bad idea. 😢
@@OM08 I thought the same thing, he did what he could to warn her, and helped her when she refused the warning. It isn't his fault. You can't help everyone. You can only do what is in your power.
@@OM08 Exactly 😢 His gut instinct was talking to him. Sometimes we miss it.
@@jakewarner1993 Agree, on a slightly positive note is at least he did try and say something. You just never know 🤷🏻♀️
The feeling of leaving her. I know that would kill me inside everyday
I'm a contractor that worked in that building for years . The elevator has never reopened ever again
It's 4 stories of college kids that pay a fortune to live in squander. I personally have gotten my ladders stuck on that latch . Scary ass hell . This poor girl was just about to start her life .
I grew up and went to school with Jamie Minor. She was such a kind human being. I remember when this happened; it was so devastating to all of her friends and family.
Did she seem like the type that would do lsd? It seems like someone may have spiked her drink or something. Not many people would take lsd at work, so it just seems strange.
@@jenniferb.awesome That's what I was thinking. She had to have consumed something that was spiked without her knowledge.
I feel bad for the other tenant in the third story… I hope he doesn’t hold any guilt from helping her with the package. He tried to warn her.
so he says
They could have that package travel in the elevator alone. There wouldn't be overload concerns that way
Any elevator that can’t handle an 80lb package probably isn’t safe to travel on anyway no? I didn’t understand that part. How was it overloaded with 80lbs when most people weigh considerably more?
@@CivilizedWarrior Yah got a point there. Most people average at least 130lbs. It's like the elevator was made for kids.
I don't understand why he wasn't like "let me help you up the stairs instead" it was only 80lbs, that's not extremely heavy. It could've easily been taken up the stairs. Honestly sad, such an unnecessary death 😔
That poor person who went against their better judgment and helped her anyway I cannot imagine the guilt they feel
Its ridicouls that a elevator had less than a 7ft clearance. 80lbs is the weight of a preteen. It should have been no problem to move it. Yet. . .
@@C-13770 exactly
I really hope her cats went to someone in the family, or stayed together in a loving home. It’s sad to think they were waiting for their mom to come home, but she never did.
I feel like it would have been smarter for her to ask him if he could just help her carry the package upstairs.
@@isaiahhubbard5822 i immediately thought that! after 'passing her and hesitating' i thought he would just offer to carry it with her; no matter how many flights 36kg between two people is not that much of an ordeal. No doubt many are in the 'i should have just' cycle
Part of the thrill of listening to Mr Ballen's storytelling apart from trying to figure out what would ultimately happen to the "protagonists" of the stories is guessing what the chapter titles are referring to. I honestly was wondering what a leafblower has to do when the second story is established to take place underwater.
He has a really great spooky 👻 story telling voice 😍 that keeps me focused and fascinated on these long stories. Loving it. ❤️
“places you can’t go” more like “shite you shouldnt do”
exactly. That "shit you shouldn't do" is exactly the "place" you shouldn't go! They all take place in places, don't they? ;)
I fill like the ocean is the most dangerous U never know what's in there
Wouldn't*
YUP!
Lol. This actually made me laugh😂
"...she was already deceased.
So that's gonna do it guys!"
Oui, c'était un peu abrupte comme fin de l'histoire. Sans transitions comme on dit.
@@waveculture9457 Pourquoi avez-vous répondu à ce commentaire en français ? Vous pouvez le lire en anglais, vous comprenez l'anglais. Vous attendez-vous à ce que cette personne connaisse le français? It's just weird to expect a random stranger to speak your language for no reason...
@Heroツ você está falando sério agora, usando outro idioma?
Like why?
Ye c’est triste comme histoire
@@morejamsthanbread508 because I hate you
That last story. I can’t imagine. Exactly why elevators freak me out!!
I love your content!!!
I got to give it to you…. You find stories that no one has really heard of. I’ve seen a lot of mysterious deaths and etc videos, but they are all repeats I could tell the stories word per word. I’ve only seen one video in which I’ve heard the story (drunk girl getting stuck in the freezer in the hotel) many times but it’s not a well known mystery, and you managed to tell more info than most about that story, so I still learned stuff about the case that I didn’t even tho I’ve heard this story a few times
I appreciate the “Like Button” stories because they not only make me laugh, but they also help me identify if I’ve seen the video before 🤣😌
Lololololol
Hahaha I do the same thing! 🤣
Same
I hit the "Like" button on every video
Sameee hahah
Anybody just find this guy by accident and now you can't stop listening to them? I love how he tells stories.
True
True
Obviously. Nobody found him on purpose.
Me!
Anybody see this generic, over used, only for internet gratification comment everywhere?
A good friend of mine has a rare seizure disorder that has prompted her to wander off in a manner similar to Jamie. Thank goodness she hasn't gotten lost or stuck somewhere yet. How scary for Jamie and her family 💔
Wow, @MrBallen thank you for telling these stories.
This series of videos has taught me “Any time somebody wants to save some money... somebody gonna die.”
Pro life tip: Don’t work for cheap stingy factories/companies 😂
Last year a chinese man wanted to save money and didnt replace a faulty oven and it blew up and burnt down the restaurant and Half of a pastry shop next to it, a dozen of workers were injured i dont remember if anyone died, it was sad i always ate at the pastry shop and was there 4 days prior
#2 Always tell someone where you are going
@@ng2371 This is a really good one.
Every time I’m about to do something sketchy I imagine how this man right here would tell my story
Instead of, “What would Jesus do?” I ask myself, “Do I really want to be one of Mr Ballens stories?” and the answer is usually no lol
@@myperfectworlds exactly
hahahaha that comment made me laugh
Really Americans have a hilarious sense of humour
On the flip side, it could also be absolutely epic.
😂😂😂🤣🤣soooo funny
8:15 Ronald Mcdonald. Mr. Ballen I love your stories! You have such a great "story teller's" voice. Keep doin what you are Doing. Thank you. AngieS.
You do a very good job my friend I listen to your stories on the way to and from work also at work. Keep up the good work
So, normally I'm not a big stickler for rules, but now that I hear Mr. Ballen's stories about how people cut corners when it comes to safety on hazardous jobs I can understand my dad's (safety engineer) constant reminders to buckle my seat-belt, not go alone at night, always have a companion in case of a trek or etc. I just can't believe how absurdely some people die and with the most common objects, truly shows how it can happen to any of us.
I was a medic in the army and a nurse for over 30 years and I used to scuba dive. Yeah, I'm a stickler for safety rules. The rules are always carefully devised and revised by experts in their field so you'd have to be an idiot not to take them seriously. Also, it often puts other people's lives at risk while trying to save yours. I'm a bit preachy but I've seen the tragedies. The worse for me was when a father threw petrol over a BBQ to get it going and he badly burned his daughter who was standing nearby. It's so frustrating to see needless suffering.
It's always good to think that the reason those rules exist is because people died, need to learn from others mistakes
Thirty years as a nurse has taught me how fragile life is. It doesn't mean you can't be daring it just means you take all the measures to keep safe. I've done parachuting, abseiling, caving, scuba diving, skiing but I was trained to do these activities. Of course things can still go wrong but you minimize that possibility as much as possible. I'm also a very cautious driver who's never had a traffic infringement after 40 years of driving.
if you think watching MrBallen makes you paranoid, try watching Active Self Protection
What most of these people who are the subject of MrBallen's tragic accident stories were really lacking was just pure common sense. If a package doesn't fit into an elevator, then common sense tells you to carry the bloody thing up the staircase, not attempt to jam it dangerously into the elevator. Pure and simple idiocy are more often than not the cause of tragic accidents - and the ignoring of safety precautions, of course.
His bedtime stories to his kids are probably so addicting
More like terrifying.
XD Yup
Kids: Daddy tell us another story
Mrballen: Sorry I can't I've been telling you stories all night you have too sleep
IKR👍🏼
Addicting is a stupid word
You're a good speaker,thanks for sharing stories 😊
love your channel, the stories remind me of the final destination films........ makes you wonder🤔
Mrballen is the type of the uncle at the family gatherings that keeps you entertained
Just like my brother! RIP Carl! We miss you!

agreed
Hmmmm
True
Being stuck in a space, especially one where I can’t even move, is one of my worst nightmares
I don't feel bad for that girl survival of the fittest
Thank goodness a real human being unlike the stooges who rather comment the "like" button....lol...Yes Rabab how very true its the most terrifying thing especially those underground caves confine spaces that get me.
sleep paralysis somewhat gives u that feeling actually
@@hanniballecter3727 nice bait troll
Yes. Me as well
About half way through literally all your videos man. SO entertaining.
9:36 I got a SCUBAPRO Diving midroll ad with a lot of inappropriately cheerful music and reef exploring right as you said he had died from running out of air 💀
That first story gave me chills literally. I can't even imagine coming off of what was obviously a horribly bad trip to realize that it was all real and you really are stuck in an air vent and then just wither away and die for days.. Jesus Christ that poor girl.
The heat was very high in the vents and I bet she passed away pretty quick, as he said her cause of death was HYPERthermia and not dehydration or starvation. The air going through the vents was very hot. I agree, what an awful way to go and on LSD no less. She would've been terrified and hallucinating as well. 😕
The fact she was on acid, makes that story particularly disturbing.....
Don't do drugs kids.
@@DreAmeoba1 I'd say she was fried in more ways than one.
That's why you never trip alone 🤣🤣🤣
Lessons I’ve learned from these stories: Don’t Be Stubborn: don’t try to force something to work that won’t , listen to the advice of other people they just might know what they’re talking about. And finally, if something sounds like a bad idea, and you’re instincts are against it, don’t do it, no matter what.
> *'Darwin affectionately ruffles your hair.'*
_"This one get's to live; she's not a f*(!ng idiot."_ 😉
AND NEVER GO INTO PLACES ALONE:D
And NEVER go cave diving...Ever.
And don't do acid
their stories usually start with " but he/she/ they feel confident even though....". They forgot rules and safety regulations are there for a reason, a very important reason.
Still binging on your stories! I left a ton of books lonely since I happened upon your site!! 🎉
When I was getting my SCUBA certification back in college, they taught us that the number one reason for diving accidents is that divers go beyond what they are trained to do. That is such a tragedy 😢
First story was horrifying, I am never tripping around air ducts.
Especially when you're on drugs.
@@K414nn4 tripping while tripping around air ducts ❌
@@K414nn4 "tripping" meant doing drugs i think
edit: *being on drugs
The elevator one was the worst for me, my dad owns an elevator company and he always says in an elevator NEVER leave the inside or get near an open door, you are always safe inside as there are many fail safes to stop the elevator, while it will be abrupt and will hurt you will almost never die. That is unless the governor break which the main cable, then you are screwed unless the elevator has other cable if it is fancy. However the governor breaking is very rare because it can usually hold double what the elevator itself weight sometimes more
@@gricnime how old are you? You seem really naive, drug tests are easy to pass with fake pee and on top of that alot of restaurants don't drug test at all
Death by elevator has to be one of the scariest ways to go
It scares the hell out of me. I was darting in and out of elevators much quicker after seeing the video of the young woman in China who was cut in half when she tried to get out of an elevator, but was looking at her phone instead of paying attention. The elevator kept going (rather quickly) and she fell forward onto the floor it was on and got trapped. Looked like it cut her just under her rib cage, then her lower body falls into the elevator with all the people.
The elevator was apparently overloaded. Had to have been at least 20 ppl on it. It was in a hospital. I couldn't stop thinking about the ppl we didn't see - the ones on the floor her upper half ended up on. Absolutely horrifying. And you know it took a while for her to die. Saw a video of a man in Vietnam who had been cut in half. The video was at least 6 min long and he was still alive the whole time. Totally conscious, too. What a horrible way to go. Lying there, knowing there is nothing you can do with ppl staring at you and filming you. Although there was a man who apparently survived being cut in half, so it's not impossible. Just horribly unlikely.
Don’t go to China then
Anything ending with -ator will kill you in China
@@Karamarika You already said that it was overweight and overloaded so there you go. Just don't go to China or any Asian nation. Simple as that. And the last story was stupid because it's obvious that her package is too big but YOLO.
It’s the boat story for me...
@Cal Rogers next level fear!
The last story was insane!! The amount of stuffing around she did getting that Damned package into the lift !!, Shit I would have asked someone to help me get it up the stairs
I too would have asked someone to help bring that package up the stairs
@mered30 Or else open the box, fit the individual pieces in the elevator, or carry them up the stairs. I think this is what people mean when they say, "Think outside the box."
When I first came across mr.ballen videos I literally was stuck to the screen it puts me at the edge of my seat and I hate when it's over. I absolutely love these videos I need more and more and more and more if I ever had a story to tell I would want Mr. Ballen to tell it I've been hooked for a while now and I constantly check RUclips and my notifications for new Mr. Ballen videos . It's the way he tells it and when people tell stories you can't help but to imagine it as it is told even if you don't know what the people looked like or the place but mr.ballen gives images and tell you if it's real or not so when you do imagine as your listening at least you can get the Image of the main character in the video correct .He always lets us know if the images in the video is real or not and that is something I really like .I listen to the podcast sometimes but for the most part I like to see mr.ballen tell the stories. To me it's more interesting when I can see him tell the story. I listen to podcast when I'm busy and don't have time to sit down but for the most part I'm able to sit down and watch. I absolutely love these videos. Everyone should subscribe. His videos is so good he passed the Amount of subscribers of some other popular story telling channel that he tells us to subscribe too.😂. If anything they should be promoting your RUclips channel Mr.ballen.
IF I go missing, am murdered, or a victim of anything dark & mysterious, I am putting this in writing now that I want MrBallen to narrate my story!
This is one of those times wishing someone _'good luck'_ is a little ethically dubious, isn't it? 😇
@PEPE STROKEY *Then
Me too
I want him to read my eulogy
Mr Ballen attempting to narrate my eulogy.. "As is my custom, I thoroughly researched my subject. With that in mind I just can't be the guy that tells you about all the dirt this guy was involved in. So that will do it. "
When you have a large heavy package filled with pieces, open the package, take the pieces out and move the pieces separately. It takes time, but it beats trying to move a heavy package and getting hurt. This is especially important if you're moving it by yourself without any help.
She could have easily got the guy to help her carry it up too
Had to do that with my IKEA bed... took a while to move upstairs but much safer
@@jmoriarty8000 That is what I was thinking, If was that guy and I was offering help, it would have been to carry up stairs. Before we saw the picture, I thought the package was going to be much much bigger. It was just long. Thats whats she said. Unfortunate for sure. Seemed like she had a lot of living left to do.
i've done this over the past 10 years. it's more trips, but poses less risk of accidents and injuries from trying to carry too much
just take the stairs and ask for help
If any weird stuff happens to me and I pass away I would be honored to have Mr. Ballen tell my story !! John you are an amazing person.. Thank you for your service and thank you thank you for for your talent for telling stories!! I appreciate you so much 😻😻💜💚🖤🧡👍🏻👍🏻
Can you imagine knowing you were going to die. The panic he must have felt. Poor guy so sad I watch your channel all the time. Your my favorite!!!!!! Thank you for your service. 👍👍🌟😊
It’s amazing that I even choose to leave my house after all the stuff MrBallen has covered in this series...
Legit haha
Seriously
Some of the stay at home story's are just as creepy 😐
Hahaha
Mr.ballen was that the clown guy from McDonalds n the back round hashana
MrBallen: “and it killed..”
Me: 😮
MrBallen: “..his visibility”
Me: 🙂
MrBallen: “then he drowned”
Me: 😭
Out of context this comment is extremely funny.
Lmfao!!!!
This isn't funny IN context. Mrballen didn't word it this dumbass way. Horrible people. The comment poster, every commenter, and every person who lik d this comment deserve to be visibly and publicly trapped underwater while bystanders laugh
@@ryandavis3004 Fu
I truly appreciate this channel ❤😊
This channel is great! What does it say about me and the rest of humanity that Mrballen's channel grew this big this fast? That we like good stories, that we all just love grim and dark things? Or we just love stories about grim and dark things?!😂
I really appreciate Mr. Ballen making us understand no matter how dumb or bad a decision someone makes, that these people are human beings that deserve respect
I guess, some of them are dumb af

sorry did you need a reminder of that?
@@skibbitybopemdada a lot of people do, yes. Have you been living under a rock or are you just naive enough to think all humans know empathy and compassion?
@@skibbitybopemdada see how shitty my comment sounded? That's how yours sounded. Meanwhile you're questioning if people need a reminder how to be respectful? You're a very good example of the exact kind of person that does need that reminder.

Been working on making sure I've very politely and gently molly wopped that like button! 👍
I understand a lot of divers dive solo, but I can't think of anything more dangerous. Buddy system is always best, especially underwater!
People never think in such a way .....if they have confidence in themselves or even the years of experience in that field
Yea, did that diver learn nothing from Boy Scouts?
@Boa-Noah no doubt 🧐
Terrible way to go!
@Boa-Noah You really wouldn't want to be burned alive, too 😕
Technical lifts underwater should DEFINATELY not be done alone. There are certain situations where diving alone is ok but this is not one of them. Plus he was only recreational dive certified.
This man has the most impressive flannel collection
This one he’s wearing in this video is my favorite, I love the tan fabric on the inside of the collar😊😇🙏
RIGHT!? First thing I noticed after the backward permahat!
😂
He has already addressed this and he said he only owns like 10 but rewears them.
He now has merchandise that you can purchase, including flannels just like the ones he wears. 😎
Great videos, keep up the great work
That apartment building was only a few minutes away from mine a few years back when I went to grad school at BU. So chilling to see this story. My building was similar and had that elevator. I took it a couple times and always felt unsafe about the quality of that elevator
I’ve come to realize laying in my bed and watching the strange dark and mysterious is the only way to stay informed and not get killed
until you get a blood clot from not moving
Look under the bed!
Until you're one of those odd 1000 ways to die statistic.
Did you not watch the episode where the guy who was lying on his bed gets sucked into a sinkhole with his whole bedroom???
Lols we all just survive something disastrous bc of the useless yet useful information we learn from these videos.
I would feel so horrible if I were the guy that warned her that the elevator wasn't a good idea, and still helped her do it.
A gentleman would've thrown that package over his shoulder and carried it up the stairs for her.
A snowflake soy boy...not so much.
@@patrickhorvath2684 She's a stranger to him, and he was being helpful. He told him the problem with the elevator and when she was stubborn about it, he helped her. So, it's pretty much partly her fault for not heeding his advice.
For gender equality, it seems prejudiced of us to expect every boy to help a stranger just because they're a girl.
@@patrickhorvath2684 Ok Eugene

Lmao it happened to me as well
I can't imagine how bad that neighbor must have felt hearing that the lady he helped died like that.
I was thinking the same thing.
I think he was lucky not to be charged with being partially responsible for her death.

@@dagnabbitt1158 wtf

Love your stories ❤
I’ve been waiting to see something from Boston on these. I had some buddies in college that went to northeastern and BU and those old buildings look cool but are hell in a ton of ways
All of that success and achievement just to get killed by an elevator. Smh.
It’s the simple universal obedience that she could’ve followed and still been here 🤦🏾♀️ all signs pointed to her way being a bad idea
I know people with Phds too and alot of them aren't very intelligent. They are just obsessive about certain topics but have zero common sense. She sounded like one of those people.
Sometimes being stupid kills you
She was probably a sweaty, frustrated mess already when it closed on her.
@@doxasophosmoros I'd have do disagree with you. Intelligence is relative and entirely based on context. I will say that each person has different kinds of intelligences, and that in order to earn most PhD's, you have to be not only quite intelligent, but also determined. A person high in Intelligence can also behave stupidly, or have areas of cognition that may not be up to par. This does not make them unintelligent overall.
Tripping on acid in an air duct and getting stuck, I can’t think of anything worse, unless there were spiders in there.
the spiders are in your mind man....whoa
What about an airport balogna sandwich
yeah... I really can't understand how tf she wasn't scared of being in a tight place. Literally I got scared seeing my legs distort while on LSD, yet she had the balls to slide DOWN A TIGHT VENT PIPE!
i’ve never had acid like distort my thoughts and made me wanna do anything dangerous. then again i’m not even a risk taker when i’m sober.
@@juuliuhhh9955 A friend of mine thought we were planning to kill her so she called an ambulance and tripped in the ER for 8 hours.
I love watching your videos bro
Lol 😆 first time I’ve ever noticed the ‘secret’ you always spoke about. The Ronald McDonald guy at 8:15 😂
Mr Ballen's channel is growing like crazy. It's obviously because of the great storyteller and stories.
Got recommended one day and can’t stop since
Nah. Its because people like abusing the like button.
It's because he's hit the nail on the head delivering exactly what we want in the way of strange, dark and mysterious, in story format with charisma, snappy shirts and intriguing hand gestures, but for me he had me at the presentation of his latest ankle biter by smashing the cute gauge too. He's got his feet on the ground, proven cahonés via military service and his sense of humour makes the whole package. The only detrimental issue is the treatment of the like button. Far too lenient
Dude I just found out about him a couple of days ago. This guy really knows how to tell a story
Yes because I started looking at him around 1.9m
Neighbor: hey you shouldn't do that, it's very dangerous.
Carrie: ok but how about I do it again?
Neighbor: excellent reasoning. Let me help you
Humanity 101
Neighbor: hey you shouldn't do that, we've been having trouble with this elevator, and that package may be too heavy for it.
Carrie: Nah. I'm going to ignore all of those facts. Inconvenient facts cannot hurt me if I ignore them. I want what I want and that's all I'm gonna focus on because I want that to be that way. I want it.
Neighbor (sees a rare opportunity to improve the human gene pool): Let me help you.
@@bentonrp True, seemed like the neighbor wanted her to learn a lesson/provided passive aggressive assistance. They could have each grabbed an end and pretty easily taken it up the stairs.
@@mystic95 lool! Yes! Provided passive aggressive assistance.
@@bentonrp he probably didn't want take the stairs and just said fuck it
The boat thing is like so many other things, THIS is why you should always position yourself uphill/upstream from hazards. This applies from shopping cart corrals to everything else.
So hilarious! Violently kick the back of his seat while asking are we there yet.
I'm disabled and don't get out much,love listening to your stories it helps pass time,love from England.
You can travel to a lot of places through the internet and pretty much everything goes through a computer nowadays, so without being disrespectful at all of your condition, sir, I think this is the best time to be a disabled person in the history of mankind so far. I hope you like games, tv series, movies, documentaries, browsing. These are some of the things that make time fly for me.
some things I've learned watching Mr Ballen. be extra cautious when: hiking. camping. boating. scuba diving. mountain climbing. hitchhiking. staying at cabins. working near machinery. vents. airducks. elevators. giant plastic dinosaurs. dont go in the forest or and valley. dont go in the ocean (giant squid attack was the scariest to me) and never EVER study late and alone on campus without a way to call for help or defend yourself.
And don't buy cheap do it yourself furniture & try to hoist it into a century's old elevator.
@@kemeee5407 Don't stand between lift doors in general.
Wait, giant plastic dinosaurs! I haven't seen that one, gotta find it, thanks.
And don't do acid and climb into air ducts!
Dont go outside basically
I love this channel but it makes me sad at times. These things really happen. Whoa 😞
Love me some Mr Ballen videos 📹 Semper Fi marines!
the absolute horror of being stuck in a duct while on LSD is horrible beyond anything i can imagine.
@@HailNihilism ?? Can't find it
Some stupid person must have laced her drink with that and she probably didn't have a clue why she feel like this at all and must have been completely panicked. It's even more terrifying to think about that. Nobody in his right mind would take that on an office party.
@@xminusone1 what makes you say that? Doesn't make more sense that she took the drugs?
@@xminusone1 she was at work when she started acting funny tho… I mean someone could have still dosed her nonalcoholic drink. Or maybe she thought she took a microdose. Lol
I wonder if she wasn't dosed without her knowledge. As someone who has taken LSD recreationally, if you know what to expect and you're in the right environment it can be an enjoyable time. Also having been ghost without my knowledge, it can feel like you're going insane. I was on a camping trip and I was the first to pass out and go to my tent, and they put a couple doses worth of LSD in liquid form into my slightly open mouth. My friends had to go get me from the woods at about 2:00 in the morning. I did not know I was awake, I thought it was a dream, I thought it was a very bad dream. My experience went from incredible panic and Terror and abject tachycardia fear to incredible disappointment when they told me what they did. Even while tripping balls I knew that was a bad move, and I guess they figured that out on their own time as well. Don't do drugs, kids.
Story #3: Seems like she worked much harder to get the package on the elevator rather than just asking for help and walking it up the stairs.
She was incredibly stupid AND stubborn natural selection at work
Whilst I wouldnt be so harsh as to say its "natural selection at work" it is kinda vexing that the people in these stories always seem to have this animalistic urge to keep pushing their luck and trying risky things even though it doesnt make sense to do so and theres a very apparent risk, not worth whatever theyre trying to accomplish.
@@whispofwords2590 I mean that is exactly what I see as natural selection
@@user-qw4ud5cj6j maybe if its a trend in a particular person, but not if its a single incident. I mean she did seem like an intelligent person, just one that did something, well, stupid. I dont think she deserved to be crushed for it, or that it means she shouldnt reproduce, even looking at it in the most emotionless and practical way possible.
We are brought up to never quit story 3 proves sometimes quitting is the right thing to do.
Great story!
Like the flannel. Nice to see ya change it up.
Lessons Learned:
First Story: Don't do drugs.
Second Story: Never dive without a partner.
Third Story: If it doesn't fit, don't force it.
Or at least don't do drugs at pissin work
@@bigmanmark4334 Agreed
3rd lesson isn't always bad 😏
It's like she insisted on dying right that day for a Damm package
@@anthonycarter8847 That does not put happy images in head.
Wow, that elevator girl had so many chances at not dying. She had all the warning signs and ignored them all.
French moment
Final Destination moment
Too many false praises of capability from societal influencers.
Thats what happens if we dont listen to our intuition but rest in peace to the deceased. :(
I know people with Phds too and alot of them aren't very intelligent. They are just obsessive about certain topics but have zero common sense. She sounded like one of those people.
Actually I’m so glad I heard that first story because I’ve always wanted to climb through one of those giant industrial vents 😅
