Happy Father's Day, to you, sir!!
Words can not describe how satisfying it was to hear that the family decided to turn around and go home. They understood the assignment and passed horror 101 with flying colors
No they failed, because the dad left the car. That’s a certain way to get attacked by the horror movie’s ghost. (They also went back a week later.) That would be a one way trip in the movie

3 year old... 'I see dead people'... parents... time to nope out of here!
@@electrictroy2010 You're right, the father would be dragged away and instead of hopping into the driver's seat and noping on out of there, she would follow and tell the kids to *stay here *.

He explained the pandemic so well that I forgot I went through it 😂
went? we going through it! lol, but i get it. 2019 was yesterday, 2020 was a different time period lol
Depends on where one lives, for me we didn't play pandemic and life never changed.

No judgement but the most important thing I have learned from watching his videos and others like this is to NEVER EVER go camping or hiking alone! I hope the authorities or someone finds her. Prayers to her and her family
I don’t know why I watch his videos lol, I’m trying to do solo camping and this always makes me way too scared
@@Animerulespeople u better not are u wanting a death wish 😂
@@bethgoode1227 ive done solo camping. Its dangerous but I dont feel like my life is at danger at any moment
The story that sticks with me is the woman camping with her dad in the tiny one person tents where your feet stick out and some psycho walking around her tent all night while she was too scared to move because she was worried if he realized she was awake he'd hurt her. Jesus Christ
@@stephanaeon bruh thats why u always take a Glock Wend camping
I don’t usually fall for spooky stuff, but when it involves children knowing details about things they should have absolutely no idea about, I get unnerved. My little brother had a friend who died in 1st grade many years ago and a few months down the road I’d here my brother talking with someone in his room. He would swear up and down it was his dead friend. Call me crazy, but I swear I heard 2 voices, not just my brothers.
the parents probably knew the case and just lied
Young children are sensitive to spiritual energy that adults have tuned out
I'm a very skeptical person. But when one of my younger cousin's was maybe 3 years old him and my aunt and uncle recently moved into a new house. My aunt wakes up early one morning and while checking on the kids she hears the 3yr old talking to someone. She opens the door to see him pushing a toy truck and saying "your turn." When she asked who he was talking to he said a boy's name, I believe it was Elijah. Come to find out about a year before they moved in a baby boy drowned in the bathtub there and the parents divorced and sold the place soon after.
It happens when people die untimely...
He was speaking to a demon. Don't let him get deeper into this.
If ever you are hiking/hunting out in the middle of nowhere and you see another human being acting strange call authorities because that person maybe suffering physical or mental distress.
It baffles me how a person can leave a person alone in the middle of nowhere, who isn't responsive and think it's fine
I'm very protective, I call the right people and I stay with them, until the correct people come
Putting myself in that situation, I can agree on the same thing. Say I’m walking in the lowlines of the mountain range and I see somebody, wave, and say hi. Okay, not too far fetched for them to not give me a hi back, they might not be the friendliest of people… okay, they totally ignore me, now I’m thinking of alerting authorities because they might be mentally ill like you stated or could be up to something, but nevertheless it’s totally plausible to keep walking… okay, they don’t have ANY equipment on them/are wearing jeans and a shirt (not proper hiking attire at all), something is definitely up with this person and it’s a dead giveaway to alert authorities. It’s like when you’re trying to figure out if someone in public is interested in you. One signal could be passed off but you could definitely still gun it and make a move, but multiple signals put together? There’s no reason NOT to take that chance.
You would think that would be common knowledge, Wtf is wrong with some people. They could've saved her and not only that, it happened more than once.
@@MM-jh5td .. Exactly
As someone who has experienced a serious concussion and knows how incredibly disorienting it is, I find it easy to believe that Sarah had a car accident, hit her head really bad, and spent the next week or so in a complete haze of half consciousness, never quite sure exactly what she was doing, or why, or where. If you've never had any sort of altered state of consciousness, be it through drugs or head injury, then I'm not sure you will be able to understand it. But to me, it makes perfect sense, and it scares me, because I know how it feels to be in that delirious state where everything is messed up but your brain isn't working well enough for you to know it's messed up.
I was thinking that she might have gotten a concussion in her accident. She could have hit her head without it being a blood injury. It would also explain why people saw her and she wasn't connecting with them. Being a strong survivalist, that might have kicked in automatically while she was trying to navigate her concussion and what it was doing to her consciously. A sad story and a disturbing one.
I feel this. This is really possible. Being in that confused state can mess with you in so many ways, including emotionally. I remember going from being hysterical to sad, to being okay and feeling "floaty."
very true. to add onto your thought about "brain isn't working well enough for you to know it's messed up", I've even had times where I know full well it's messed up, but there's still nothing I can consciously do about it as far as my actions go.
It's definitely plausible. I hit my head pretty bad once and had a mild concussion. Thankfully it was for only 10 minutes, but I had no idea what was going on around me or who was talking to me
This is very similar to Larse Mittang case
Oh my goodness, that has to be one of the very strangest disappearance stories I've ever heard. Yikes!
I guess she is allright, living off nature, as she is able to as a survival expert. Very likely she just wanted to get away from the hassle of the world, especially from the pandemic. She just does not feel like living with the rest of us, and she has every right to do so.
@@agnes15101968 a survivalist would not abandon their gear. Not in their right mind. She was also an environmentalist. Something went very wrong. This is not some feel good- just went off grid situation.
@@mickeyoshea2035 I agree for a survivalist to then leave all the gear as if it's all garbage and that was even supposedly the opposite of how she normally would be something went pretty bad...
If it was even her who did all of that she must have lost her mind which could be pretty possible that either she had already previously lost it before the crash or the crash might have caused some kind of brain damage or someone else entirely did it instead.
Ps: also after knowing or seeing stuff your mind also prays tricks, like I just watched the story and now my mind is tricking me into thinking that I have seen a crazy similar woman here so many thousands of KM away in a island in the middle of the Atlantic sea, it's just the mind playing tricks...
@@guily6669 yes good points about possible break with reality either before or after the car crash. And good point that someone else could have spread her gear all out. Possible she had to leave it due to some type of danger or perceived danger in her mind. The later sighting leads me to believe there was a mental break. Either from organic causes or something else like the crash or an encounter with someone else.
Just curious... what island are you on?
@@mickeyoshea2035 Madeira island, mainland is Portugal 😉
I think the most likely conclusion is that Sandra got a severe concussion in the crash and spent the rest of her time "hiking" in a complete daze. It's sad that she could've been saved multiple times but everyone called too late.
I find it strange that the couple who saw her with a bruise on her face and bare foot didn’t try to get to her to see if she needed help.
My mother who was very ill, passed away a week ago.
We would pass time is by listening to your stories while on our trips to her appointments. She really enjoyed your story telling. Please don’t stop making these, because whenever I listen to you, it feels like she’s with me listening too. Thank you for helping me through my grief❤️
Lots of love to you and your mom. Your mom does not want to see you hurting. It's tough, but I know she would prefer seeing your beautiful smile.
My deepest condolences for your huge loss. That's really rough. Giving you a warm virtual hug.
I hope you do better, and keep watching MrBallen. I pray you don’t lose hope and continue to have fun with your life.
I’m so sorry for your loss. 🙏❤️
@Fleetwood Mac Daddy I’m so sorry for your loss, that’s a deep one. Mr Ballen is awesome,,,for me, it’s something I can enjoy with my kiddo’s that are 20&18, so as you can see, his story telling brings us all together!
Hang in there sweet pea, it’s going to be a little less hurtful as time goes on, but I know from experience, it never fully goes away. I lost my dad in 2005 and it feels like such a long time ago now-I miss him, I kind of feel like an orphan on Father’s Day. But from one heart to another, I pray that the good Lord bless you with peace, beauty and wisdom.
🕊❤️🩹🙏🏻🇨🇦🕊
Noted: If you see a person barefoot on a hiking trail with bruises no hiking gear like water at least try to help them.
I will never understand why a person would go into the wild, alone! Survivalist or whatever it's a good way to die. If a person gets sick or hurt no one is there to help. This case is bizarro world to say the least.
I do struggle to picture it bc were they just like 🤷🏻♀️ and kept going? They didn't think maybe she was dehydrated or lost or had a concussion or something? If they interacted with her and she ignored them wouldn't that be a sign of something being wrong? idk it's just strange
Idk why not a single person who saw her stopped and walked up to her and ask if she was ok until they saw a poster of her which is insane to me.. she was bare foot, no gear or nothing.
This is California. I don't think "barefoot woman chilling in a valley" qualifies as weird. Not enough to call the cops anyway.
@@fatkart7641 still creepy I think at least the bump on the head would cause for concern
This story reached my heart when it happened and I actually wanted to go help with the search but Madera County advised not to,unless they needed more people.
Additionally, I was warned by friends in Oakhurst and Coarsegold not to camp alone or take off alone in this area as people disappear very frequently.
Just want to say that the region she disappeared, off Beasore Road, is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been to in Spring/Summer. I can’t blame her for wanting to be there, where it feels so safe. Since her disappearance, the place caught fire, and has been through so much. A few of us following Sandy’s story really hoped the fire would flush her out of hiding if she was having a dissociative episode or psychosis.
Peace be with you, Sandy.
The whole place did not burn
@@ToschiReelLifeMedia correct. Thankfully the whole place did not burn.
as of now its pretty clear that shes dead
Fires don't flush people out...
@@ToschiReelLifeMediaop never said the whole plays burned
Man I wish so bad Mr Ballen was my cousin or close relative just to hang out on a campfire and spend the entire night listening to his stories in person. I bet it would be top memories in my life 🤯😥
I’m one of those hikers that saw Sandra in the blue jeans and barefoot. I was with some friends and had heard about a missing person in the park but didn’t really pay attention. When we saw her, we asked her if she needed help and told her one of us could hike back to get cell reception while the rest of us stayed with her but she refused. She told us to go and that she was fine a few times, so we left. We talked about it all the way back to our car, saw the flyer, and called the police. I still think about it and wish we had done more and refused to leave her there by herself.
How did she seem? Aware and cognizant.of her surroundings?
😟
She chose that life.. you did nothing wrong
You might have been speaking to her spirit. Such a chilling, sad, yet fascinating story. Definitely something you'll never forget, but don't beat yourself up about it, as you responded how most would, as you didn't want to pry. She may have been deceased at that point, anyway. I'm thinking she passed around her campsite or in the area of her vehicle and that all those sightings could have very well been her ghost, as creepy as it seems.
Big if true, would love to hear more if you can remember any other details and are comfortable sharing
The way you described the pandemic - as if the audience is learning about it in history classes and not currently living it - gave me chills (and I mean that in a good way)!
You are currently living it? Where do you live?

Honestly it's great because that way it doesn't date the video, but allows it to feel relevant in the future rather than only 'today.'
It's so uncanny how much Sandra looks like my cousin, especially in the photo with the blue hair - no my cousin's hair is not blue. This is sad and troubling for sure....if Sandra was spotted and ignored ppl it could have been for 3 main reasons....#1 a head trauma / brain injury #2 her possibly introverted nature and #3 fear of engaging in strangers in a remote location....but most likely a combination of all 3. Hopefully, some day soon the family gets closure as the not knowing is so harmful, hurtful and utterly heartbreaking. Sandra - you are in our thoughts xoxo
She was an accountant for whom may have become a target....
My theory says, it was her ghost hence, she never spoke nor showed human emotions when strangers spotted her after her disappearance. Most likely she was long death and her ghost wander around 😱eehhhh spooky shit man I'm out
@@buttermilkbob2370 That was my first thought too!
Truly such a bizarre situation. I first heard it on the Missing Persons channel; so many extra unnerving details in this re-telling. It just occurred to me, maybe what the hunters saw was also her spirit. The clothing change is so bizarre. This is one story that not having any answers to make it make sense is really bothering.
My mother told me a story of when she was a young child. She was the youngest in her family with 5 older brothers. Her oldest brother Frank had joined the army to fight in Europe in the first world war. She was born in 1915 and the war ended in 1918, so she was pretty young at the time. One day, she saw her brother. He was in soldier uniform walking up the walk to the front door of their house. She said "Frankie, Frankie" and in her excitement to see her brother, she ran straight toward him, which meant running straight through the front picture window of their house. Another brother who was standing nearby grabbed her up at the last second before she got hurt. It turned out that Frankie wasn't home at all. In fact, the exact time and day she saw him, he had been killed in action. She said even though she was so young, she still remembered seeing him, clear as day, coming home.
I agree true ny my nephew died and big black shadow covered my 👀 i was wat was that and later that day i heard the news he got killed 😥
Yeah once I ate a burger and then I heard the news that there was a burger shop opening
Wow
I’m pretty sure your eldest uncle somehow promised your mother that he will come home and he kept his promise all the way.
Salut

The "ghost" sightings are indeed strange, but the campsite, crash site, and lone sleeping bag are just as head scratching. A mystery in multiple mysteries.
Probably the work of a serial killer. Wooded areas like that are favorite spots for serial killers. They scattered her stuff about to throw police off. They probably got off on a total power trip knowing law enforcement would never find her body only her belongings and be baffled.
@@ITIsFunnyDamnIT That doesn't explain the sightings of her standing in the woods and near a tree on two separate occasitions.
@@ITIsFunnyDamnIT not impossible of course, but seems almost too much effort. The person would have probably pushed the car, then decided to climb down just to throw items around, then hike through very very rough terrain, sleep or lay in a sleeping bag. Again not impossible, just doesn't seem like a very "standard" calling card like a lot of serial killers use.
You don't hear about the "Campsite ruiner, car crashing, object purposely left in a difficult place to get to Killer". Again not out of the realm of possibility, just seems too random.
@@Thesamurai1999 and the little boy describing seeing her and him saying she’s not alive.
@@TheQueenOfSheba that’s the freakiest fucking part to me. The little boy describing her down to a T and literally nobody ever seeing her or the police finding the body. But the kid emphatically swearing there was a woman there who’s dead and needs help. Chills.
Such a chilling story. I can't help think that she was hurt badly in the car crash, wondered into the forest all confused and succumbed to the injury and elements. Perhaps the sightings were her spirit, still confused as to who she is and what happened, so vivid to those who encountered her because she's unaware she has passed. The child talking to her after stating she was dead and needed help really solidifies that theory for me.
bruh you need jesus
More like a demon taking on her appearance. After ppl die if they aren't in heaven they are in a dimension they cannot come out of. Only Jesus has the keys to death so ppl can't wander free after death. They are either in heaven or in hades.

That was my first thought, but I erased it. I also thought after her accident she had a concussion and eventually succumbed to her injuries. But it does seem strange that every time she was seen by people and the police went looking she was nowhere to be found so I originally thought it was her spirit being seen by passersbys.
I don’t know how hair works in the after life, but I knew she was well and truly dead when the little boy described her as having blue hair a year later. RIP Sandra Hughes. I pray that your family finds peace and comfort.
My thoughts also.
It's not the afterlife/ghosts, it's familiar spirits/demons.
He never said blue hair
@@brianelliott6747 He's reported saying she had blue hair at about 24:03
Maybe he saw her pic in a newspaper
"She needs our help. She's face down, her legs are straight up, and she's dead." I got chills.
It makes me think of this case from my home state that happened in the early-mid-aughts, around early November. A couple of teens were coming back to my hometown from a late night date in the city, and they were on a winding, lonely road. No one's really sure what happened, but somehow, the car ended up crashing off the side of the road in the dunes around the freeway they were on; the car rolled multiple times before coming to rest wheels up. It was around 6 or 7 pm when this accident occurred, and I was coming back with my best friend and her parents after going into the city; I remember my best friend's dad slamming on the brakes (there was no shoulder to pull over onto). He turned on his blinkers and got out of the car, saying, "Leah, call 911!"
Turns out, (what we two in the backseat didn't see) when we came around the bend, Dad's headlights hit upon something on the side of the road. Dad said that when we got closer, the lights actually revealed what appeared to be a young man, maybe late teens or so, crawling up the slope. By the time the lights fully hit, the teenager was apparently pulling himself onto the road, but his legs weren't working and his head appeared to be snapped near all the way around and he was scraped up and bloody, like he'd just been in an accident. But, when Dad got out of the car to help, there was no one on the road; it was completely empty.
Mom managed to call 911, and when they got there, Dad pointed them in the direction of where he saw the teen crawling from. Well, they found the car; the girl was barely alive, but they determined that the boy died instantly. Coroner found that when the car rolled, he'd been thrown so violently, by the time the car came to rest where it did, he'd snapped his neck, which matched Dad's description of the teenager he'd seen. The girl was in ICU for weeks, but she managed to survive. No one can exactly explain what Dad saw that night, and the only reasonable explanation anyone can come up with, is that while it definitely wasn't the boy (he was still strapped into the car by his seatbelt), maybe it was the boy's spirit, trying to get help for his girlfriend, knowing it was too late for him.
Sorry for the long post, but the little boy's description of the woman reminds me of that night. In regards to this, it could have been Sandra's spirit asking for help because she no longer physically could.
That a spirit would crawl around.. makes no sense to me. Not the boys spirit anyway.
" maybe it was the boy's spirit, trying to get help for his girlfriend," no it wasnt ! once you die, you leave this world you dont have the option to hang around for a bit end of
I thought I was the only one that got chills
@@eurovisionwtf And how in the world would you know? Have you ever witnessed something similar? Sometimes things happen that can't be explained, and in desperate situations like that one... On a dark road, in the middle of the desert, with zero lights along the road to guide you- no one even knew that the accident happened. If we hadn't stopped, the car wouldn't have even been found; those embankments along desert highways are steep and dark. Look, I don't know that I entirely believe Dad, and he's never been able to accurately explain what he saw that night, but all we *know* is that paramedics said that if we *hadn't* stopped when we did, the girl wouldn't have been *found,* let alone survived. Do you know how many cars are found in the deserts decades later, long after the person's missing posters have been taken down and their cases have gone cold? I grew up in the damned deserts of the Western half of the US; crap happens out there all the time that people witness, but *no one* can explain. So how about instead of being nasty on a stranger's comment, you shut your yaps and move on, both you and the guy who commented after.
@@geezerp1982 God always has a way of making miracles happen, God let the boys Spirit help his girlfriend one last time before it was his time to join him
The amount of people who are supposed to be experienced hikers/hunters who just thought “oh yeah she’s fine” simply because she isn’t screaming for help is astounding, this woman is alone and barefoot and has no gear and is clearly acting totally abnormal, GO CHECK ON HER
Thats pretty normal behavior in California
Tbh, I'd be too afraid that she'd attack me. 😅
@@alicefriekaz966 yeah but the hunters literally had guns
nah, dont think i will
My thoughts as well; check my post here on what I think happened and why I think it's sad that none of those who've seen her even dared to at least assist her...
I truly believe through a child’s innocence they can see those who have passed on. CHILLS!!!😮
It's as we get older, some of the gifts we're born with are receded due to being told they are making things up and their gifts are wrong. I was so lucky to have a mom I had. She supported all my abilities even when some frightened her.
Why is it they only see the flyers when leaving the park and not entering? Did they miss the 250 people search party?!
Most probably because she is an adult, not a serial killer and single person that is missing. Let's face it, if she was a kid or teenager that was lost in the jungle, it would get bigger coverage and people would be more interested. It was good that she had dyed her hair blue so people would be attracted to watch her and commited her into their memory when they met her and later can say, "I saw her! She was missing???"
Wow, what a chilling and sad story. When the little boy said that the dead woman in the woods needs help and he kept pointing, I got chills. It's interesting how they went over there after he said that and nobody ever found her dead or alive. I really thought this story would end with her at least being found, so tragic. Well, I hope one day that she's found.

I decided it was time to quit smoking. Many know how challenging this is. I binge watched your videos to keep my brain preoccupied and it worked. Cravings are gone. Today is day #12 without a cigarette
That's awesome!!
Keep going! Be proud! Quitting smoking was one of the hardest things I did.
@Love _Life I did the same thing… distract myself with videos. They were just the thing to get through that 5 to 20 minute period.
After 30+ years, I’ve been quit for 2 years.
I quit smoking, first couple weeks are hardest, it gets easier but you still crave a cig every now and then for a year or so
Awesome! I believe in you :]
So from what I’ve learned from Mr. Ballen’s coverage of the Missing 411 series, anytime someone goes missing in a national park or forested area, travel precisely 2.5 miles outside of the designated search area and you should find them.
Beautiful comment craft
I'll never forget. When I was 4, my grandmother purchased a few acres of land in a small Texas town, and had a trailer house built there. The land had been worked on a bit by a construction crew prior to the move, to prepare it for the new home. We were never there during that part. We arrived the day the trailer did, and I remember just kinda hanging out all afternoon, watching the trailer being connected (it was a double wide), and after that was done (around 8pm), we officially moved in, and had a little family get together in our new home. It was me, my younger brother, my aunt, mom, and grandma living there. But my uncles would stop by often enough, especially in those first few days after we moved in.
One day, maybe a week or two into our stay, we were out in the backyard, and I found a white wooden steak in the ground, between a small group of trees. I pulled it out, and immediately took it to my mom, who was relaxing with my grandmother in a couple of chairs, sipping some sweet iced tea. The sight of that steak really freaked my mom out, and she stood up, grabbed it from me, and promptly threw it in the garbage, saying something to herself like, "I thought we got them all." The "we" being her, and my uncles. Now, a wooden steak in the ground isn't that strange. We eventually ended up getting our own to use as markers, when my mom decided to start planting seeds. But, the steak I had found that day, wasn't just a plain steak in the ground. No. The sharp end that had been buried in the ground, was also covered in dried blood.
Later that night, I had a very vivid dream. In the dream, I was back in that moment when I had pulled the steak from the dirt, but this time, as I was pulling it out, I paid more attention to how soft the dirt was there, and also the strange sound the dirt made as I removed the piece of wood. It sounded almost like a bag being crumpled up. So, curious, I started to dig with my hands, and very quickly some black plastic was visible. Either some kind of tarp, or heavy-duty garbage bags, I don't know. I continued to unearth this object, which I could tell was rather large, and once I had a pretty decent chunk of it visible, I decided to start tearing it open from the point where the steak had been, both excited, and fearful at the same time. When I finally got the entire exposed part of the bag opened, I was horrified to find the remains of a woman inside, in a white nightgown. Her body was heavily decomposed. Her hair was still mostly in tact, but her skin was very dark, and sunken in, giving a pretty clear image of the bones underneath. Her eyes were just two empty sockets, and her lips and nose were basically gone. Her white nightgown had large dark spots of dried blood on it in various places, and in those places, upon closer inspection, there were clear punctures in both the fabric, and the skin beneath. Those holes were all the same size as the steak I had found.
I woke up from that dream, and at first, I thought it was just that, until I realized that I really had found a bloody steak in the backyard the day before, and what if my dream was telling me to look closer at that spot? So, a little while later, I was once again playing in the backyard, and I found myself searching for snakes in that general area, and decided to check the exact spot from the prior day, but thinking I'd find nothing. I was wrong. As soon as I stepped over the area which would have concealed the lower half of the corpse, I could feel the dirt beneath me sinking in a bit, and could hear that plastic rustling sound from my dream. I dropped to my knees, and began digging. Just like in my dream, I didn't get far before the black plastic was visible to me. But, this wasn't a dream. It was a reality I, at 4 years old, was not ready for. So, after getting the top half uncovered, and being able to recognize the distinctly human shape underneath, I changed my original course of action, and instead of ripping the bag open, I reburied my find, and decided to never speak of it to anyone.
Fast forward about 20 years. Me and my mom were talking about how much we missed living in that place, as we had had to move only a few years later. Well, for some reason, my brain went straight to that experience, and I brought up the steak. My mom was surprised I'd remembered it, but told me that, the first day we were there, she and my uncles had noticed these steaks out front, most half buried, some broken, but they all seemed to have blood on the ends. Not wanting to frighten the rest of us, they'd immediately started collecting all the pieces, and throwing them out, but they'd obviously missed at least one.
So, I finally decided to tell my mother about my experience, and she looked absolutely shaken. She then revealed to me, that one of the construction guys who had been working on the property prior to our arrival, had been under investigation after his inlaws had called them because they couldn't reach their daughter, or her husband. When the cops found he was alive, and that his wife was unaccounted for, but he clearly didn't seem to care, since he hadn't called them first, they immediately suspected he'd murdered her, but couldn't find the body, or any evidence that he'd done anything to her. He had insisted that they'd had a big fight, and she'd left, presumably to go stay with her parents. But, he didn't seem worried about the fact that nobody else had heard from her since then either. The police suspected that he'd actually poured cement over her body, and that she now somewhere underneath the the floor of the brand new gym he'd helped build at the school. If I'd known all of this back then, I maybe could have helped solve the case. To this day, I'm unaware if her body was ever found again.
Im about to sleep, then I read this! 😳😳😳 if that happens to me, I dont know if I could keep it that long for not telling my parents what i found in the woods
I remember when my daughter turned four years old and one night after her bath she asked me where all the people had gone. I honestly thought she was just very imaginative and joined in on the fun by asking her questions. Suddenly I started to recognize some of the people she was describing. The one she spoke about the most was a beautiful woman with dark hair and tanned skin. She said this woman was always around us and wore a long white dress. I went to get a photo album and my daughter squealed with joy when she pointed at a picture of my Grandmother and said, “That’s HER!” My Grandmother was Blackfoot Indian and died before I was born.
My nephew was 3 and driving w babysitter in car past cemetery and asked why all those people are having a party? That was the beginning of him seeing spirits in his room. My sis thought it was just being a kid w an imagination until they had a medium come to house and without telling her anything she described the same exact 2 spirits he would see every night in his room. Made me a believer.
@@deeges9098 idk. Sounds like they were already susceptible to that sort of thing if they got a “medium” to come over the house. Who knows what they let slip out when talking to that person. Most of them are con artists and are good at extracting information.
@@Dany_Stormborn When I talk to her more now about it…she’s 25 now…she says that she noticed them gradually leaving and not returning. It was pretty traumatic for her when they were all gone, because she said she felt so lonely. To this day she says she continues to dream of them and believes she’s actually having conversations with them. I’ve actually done a TON of research on this! Best I can tell, is that children and some breeds of animals can see through the “veil” around us. As we age, we’re sort of “infected” with adults telling us stuff like, “Ghosts aren’t real”, and religion telling us these are witchcraft signs and such. Children are born little people pleasers that experience trauma if their parents are disappointed in them. So I think that almost everyone is born with these abilities until we believe that it’s wrong or evil and we actually flip that switch in our brain to off. It makes me think of the movie, “Polar Express” when adults can no longer hear the bell ring.
That's cool!!!
Yup, kids certainly have an imagination. But just because they get 1 thing coincidentally right doesn’t give any credit to ghosts and spirits… can’t forget that 99% of everything else they say is bullshit.
As a non-native English speaker, when I watch movies in English language, I prefer watching them translated, or at least subtitled. In case of Mr. Ballen's story telling, I found myself understanding his stories perfectly the way they are narrated. A massive appreciation and gratitude for his efforts and hard work
We get it he's great, it's redundant. Speak of the actual story and not his narrative.

Usually I watch these stories in the morning. Of course, deviating from my norm, I listen at night and it's the creepiest story of all time
Heard about this. I wonder if she had a traumatic brain injury after her car crashed and continued to camp despite of it. Hope she finds peace. Hope her family finds peace.
The fact that she was seen by the hikers and the hunters and both said she had zero recognition of them is creepy. Almost like she was already dead and they were just seeing her spirit Then little Kaiden sees her outside his window in the tree line saying ( and I'm paraphrasing here ) "there's a lady out there, she needs our help, and she's dead" is super creepy. Once again, great story Mr. Ballen.
Her spirit...or her dead body propped up on display by some sicko?
That was my thought to
They say children see things us adults don't so maybe she was there asking for help
Seems like yet another head injury case (from the car crash). Concussions can drastically change a person's awareness and personality yet perhaps she still functioned on level that included her wilderness survival instincts for quite some time. Children are much closer to the initial portal/dimension of consciousness from birth that allows them to pickup on different unseen energies as mentally programmed adults.
@@Deathblade27893 I believe kids can see things we lose the ability for as adults. But still having said that this is super creepy and weird. He's very articulate for his age but the fact he picked out all 3 of the photos of her is just mind-blowing! The fact he said her legs were up in the air makes me think she'd fallen head first into a place with a lot of debris that would hold her in that position. Or maybe broken ground or even an old but deliberate ground trap. It's a truly bizarre story!

@@sinical1031 And small pocks
@@sinical1031not happening..no more illegal Chinese mandates.
its seems to me like it could be possible that while sandra was camping on her first night, somebody found her campsite and tried to rob her, tearing apart everything looking for something valuable. perhaps not being satisfied with what they found they could have forced her to take them to her car and drive them somewhere. a struggle could have taken place in the car which caused the crash, or maybe sandra even intentionally crashed her car to stop the attacker. After the car slid into the ravine the assailant rooted through the vehicle for anything valuable and left sandra, bruised and potentially concussed, for dead. When she finally came to with no resources to help her, she wandered the woods for weeks, hungry, confused, and severely injured.
That's exactly what I was thinking!
Or she was attacked and ran to her car and drove off while being chased. Then she crashed.
MrBallen is the best storyteller on RUclips, there’s no question
You said this before, though. No need to repeat the same thing over and over again. I get that he's awesome, but you don't have to repeat it. Not hating, just saying.
true facts
@@MoonWielder why not?
@@cicknobb5321 Sure it's true, but it just gets repetitive, you know. That's all.
Hands down the best
After being in that accident, I think she had a traumatic brain injury, and that's why she was making this terrible mess of her things. Or it caused a psychotic break, which can be just as dangerous. This is why no one is supposed to go camping alone, things like this can happen. It's too bad those people who saw her with a large bruise didn't insist on her coming with them.
If she's a ghost, it sounds like she wants her body found and laid to rest properly. I don't blame that family for not wanting to ever go to that area again.
I agree with you about the brain injury, although it doesn't sound like camping alone had anything to do with the injury, it sounds like she crashed her car on the way to go camping.
Agreed. My husband received a TBI in a fall. He was delirious and faded in and out of reality for ten weeks before his death. I would not wish that on anyone.
@@ryangarnett4705
lm wondering if they searched the
last area with a cadaver dog ?
@@ryangarnett4705 His point was that if it was a brain injury and she was with someone they could've helped her instead of her just wandering the woods alone in a confused state
“This is why no one is supposed to go camping alone”
And yet they do, as if this is 1803. Not only do they go camping alone, but they rarely take firearm protection.
If someone is stupid enough to hike alone and with no firearm protection, they deserve exactly what they get. 🤷🏾♂️
Most ppl didn't live a full or happy life in quarantine.
The horrifying long lasting effects will be seen for decades to come.
Wonderful story Mr B!
You can tell a story like no one else 💞💞💞
The little boy saw the old posters for the woman when his family entered the park, and imagined he could find her and help her
Something like that. I doubt the boy saw her. He imagined it.
Yeahh I think people are giving this little kid too much credit. 3 years old? Most dogs are about as smart as a 2/3 year old lol
That's bs when I was around that age maybe older around 5 I saw a little girl and another boy sitting on a fence out side my parenst friends house 🏡 I wanted to go out and play and I was banging on the door and my mom qas like there is no one out there
.....and her friends told her that this happens all the time any time any time any kids come here they see kids in the back yardsAnd they allways wanna play !! It's not a lie kiss can see things that adults can't
Nah he definitely saw something
I love how he explains covid-19 despite us all living through it. he knows there will be a day people who aren't familiar with it are watching this story.
That’s beyond scary. I can’t imagine what she was feeling. I hope one day her family gets closure. At first I thought this would be a story where she just decided to go off the grid… I want to keep believing maybe that’s what happened but after everyone seeing her I doubt it :( also I knew a kid who could tell you when they knew someone had been killed in that room (old old house her grandma owned) and could describe (accurately) what the people had been wearing when it happened. She also knew when her father passed, even though it was far away and she hadn’t seen him in months. Kids just know sometimes and it’s scary
Hey Brother
That Sandra Hughes story is crazy.
It's always been said that children and pets are far more likely to be able to see paranormal situations than us older people.
Thank you for the amazing Content as always never disappointed.

I have to say it , we need a compilation everytime MrBallen laughs 😅
His laugh is precious!
It's so crazy hearing about the pandemic being explained in those terms. Like everybody else is saying it's like realizing that we actually went through that. We still are in many ways.
We're going to be years doing that. People are SCARED and HOPELESS' even though it's not a roaring fire at this point, everyone has been living under threat of death for going outside. They have become terrified of being near other people. STILL. It may take a while for that shock to wear off. We need a huge, communal Yoga class or something, to let us get out of survival mode.

When he said, "she's face down and her legs are straight up," first I was terrified. Then I thought she must be on a slope, like at the bottom of a mountain. She made herself visible to the kid but she wasn't really there. I hope they find her, because it's obvious she really wants to be found and sent home to her family.
@@SAMSUNGS-yo4tc yeah, she means that Sandra wants her body to be found.

@@SAMSUNGS-yo4tc Yeah, no way her hair would still be blue.

This story had the most spine chilling moment I’ve ever heard from MrBallen.
It gave me absolute chills when the boy said “there’s a woman out there and she needs our help” and how vividly he described her. Makes you wonder if there’s something more to this world than the eye can see.
Exactly!!! Finally someone is understanding. There is way more to this world then the eyes can see. And pets and kids see it. We can only see when the vail is lifted. Wild world out there be safe!
I believe it…my son and the baby monitor creeped the heck out of me…in a good way because he was laughing his ass off like he was being tickled…but especially when one day he said “let’s wait for opa” when we were leaving the house…the boy he was barely walking at the time but my opa passed 3 months after he was born and only met him once…odd stuff…
Children are believed to be able to see things (spirit's good and evil)...i tend to believe it
@@donzapp1709 yep. Kids and pets are innocent I think thats why they can see.
My friend’s child who was three at the time had the creepiest reaction when we went camping out in Banf. Sitting around the fire and the child started to become panicked and asked us “who is he?! Why do I have to go?!”
I asked her what she meant and she said “the man! He’s right there? Why does he want me to go with him?!”. I was terrified and for some reason the mother just shrugged it off as a normal thing her child does all the time. WHAT THE HELL?! The panic in this child’s voice and body was not her just playing pretend.
its so frustrating that no one who saw her actually did anything... i think its better to be safe than sorry
They did do something they walked back to their cars saw the missing person notice and called authorities people can get killed by randomly approaching strangers in the forest

Children and Animals can see between "the veil", a lot clearer than most adults.
This is the most scariest video i heard on Mr Ballen. Still gives me the creeps. Just listening to the story is scary enough and the thought that this happened recently is scary.
Love how he explained the quarantine and COVID like it was a historical event which will be a thing in like 20 years
It alteady feels like that though. Like the other day I was at Dennies, and I said "remember when they had that tent, and tables were outside?" And I half expected one of my family to say "What? That never happened, what are you talking about? It must have been a dream."
I know, it dragged
It is tho. I guarantee this will be in history text books just like the Spanish flu is.
Yeah, that was pretty trippy.
This was incredibly startling. I'm pretty certain spirits don't change their clothes. The child described her as wearing the same clothes that she was initially sighted in. So if she was deceased, it was likely after the last sighting of her standing by the tree wearing the floral tee. Unless, could it be possible that she was killed by someone and deliberately propped up by the tree in a change of clothes..maybe she was already dead and the passers by didn't realise it ?!? Then buried as the child described. I'm completely baffled. And as disturbing as this story is, it's also really sad. Not knowing where your loved one is..my heart goes out to her family.
It's fascinating how animals and children seem to see things we don't. I don't know HOW to believe the stories, but believe them I do...
I don't think anyone can be certain of what a spirit does or looks like. It might have just been her spirit after all. That is really sad though.
Wow. The stuff that goes through your mind is super wild. If the hunters were in a very remote area where people rarely go, why would a killer bother to temporarily prop her up in a new change of clothes? I think you watch too many movies.
@@totallyfrozen We think you're super wild...
Seems like a scene out of a Cohen Brother's movie.
@mrballen. Do you ever get spooked while reading/telling these stories? You’ve got me keeping all the lights on in my house lol. But I love your style of story telling. Keep up the good work.
Hearing the pandemic explained this way is so surreal, we survived this terrible traumatic experience and I think we should all give ourselves a huge pat on the back and a hug. We lived through something that will be written in history books for years and years to come.

He is by far the best, I don’t get it, must be a gift. When I see a new upload, I’m immediately clicking on it, unless of course, I can’t enjoy it completely
Mr. Ballen: "So as I am peering around the aisle ways at my local food market. I'm looking for a can of Dinty Moore when I feel all hope is lost, I spot a gawky red headed teenager who you can tell is obviously a seasoned veteran at his stocking job. All of a sudden, a massive search is launched to find the extra beefy wide can I enjoy so much! After hours of combing the shelves, he stumbled across it at a spot we all looked before. As if it slipped through a crack in reality. Well that does it today. Don't forget to have the like button to search your hot attic for Christmas decorations, and for his efforts of crawling through that itchy insulation, offer him room temperature diet Mountain Dew, and extra spicy Andy's Hot Fries for his efforts."

I have spent a lot of time in the woods over my life, hunting, fishing and geo-caching and I've encountered angry wild animals and some seriously sketchy down right trouble people in some extremely remote places in the woods. I never have, and never will enter the woods without being well armed with knife, gun and ammunition and I'm sure the fact my 12 gauge was in hand has stopped a potentially bad encounter with undesirable people. I've also learned I never approach anyone in the woods, I make my presence known, keep my distance , give a wave brandishing my shotgun and keep on going in an arc to keep the other party/parties well within sight while gaining distance.
Tbh this is good advice for California generally.
I live in Colorado and my family owns some property in the Rockies, this is good advice for anywhere remote! People really don't seem to realize just how many strange individuals seem to pop up in the woods. Even on private property!
as scary as it must be seeing her, i cant help but feel so bad cos it sounded like she needed help.. poor Sandra
I have sat here on this page for 2 hours or so deciding if I should comment. I have seen all sorts of things posted, some are concern and good intentioned, while I think others are click bait of sorts. Sandy was my friend. I still have one jar left of the jam she made and gave to me. I don't want to open it because it seems like me giving up on her being found safely. I realize how odd that sounds. She sent me pictures of her trip, including a couple before she camped. I worked with her for years, and as to whether people saw her ghost or not. Well, I have my doubts. Sandy, would look right through you and not talk. If she didn't want to, you did not exist. So it is perfectly understandable, albeit odd if she was injured, that she would sit on the side of the trail and not interact. Our friendship started, because every morning she would walk down the hall past my office and i would say good morning. She never looked at me, or if i was in the hall would look through my chest, not even stopping. I like people and I always want my coworkers to laugh and get along. So after this morning ritual had continued for awhile. I stepped out into the hall said, "good morning, I am not moving until you say good morning." She looked me in the eyes, stood there and in the most dry, expressionless, flat voice said, "good morning." I stepped aside smiling and said have a good day or something. The next morning she smiled and said good morning to me. Others in the office actually commented that she talked to me. I hope this illustrates her lack of talking to people. After that, she talked to me often and we even talked about plants and natural usages for them. She was my go to person for wild plant knowledge. I hike, hunt and fish, in the wilds quite a bit, but had never looked at the native plants for much other than the occasional thimbleberry snack. So after this long winded post, I hope this would add a bit of explanation to her lack of talking , be she ethereal or not. But if her ghost is up in some clearing, I have no illusions that if someone litters or does something to the plants. they may decide to change their ways.
I really hope you and her family are able to locate her.
Thank you for sharing her with us.❤

This is such a strange, sad case! Where on earth did she go? What happened to her? I find it highly unlikely she's still alive after a while year has passed, especially in the environment she was in
This story scared tf out of me.
This one gave me chills. What's freaky is that she didn't have any reaction to people seeing her when the hikers and hunters saw her, makes you wonder if they all saw her ghost or something
😱
I was gonna say the same thing. It was only the kid who she communicated with - which I hear is something that kids can experience but lose later in life. She may have had a head injury of some kind - whatever happened - she didn't make it and now maybe her ghost is still trying to get someone to find her.
It’s crazy that this is so recent. And I just found it weird that, even after an entire year of being out in the woods, Sandra’s hair was still blue. Unless it was a ghost, she would have had to dye it @ some point.

I lol'd when he said "sandra is kind of unique looking."
This is one of the creepiest stories you've ever posted. That poor family. Hopefully they get closure someday. Another greatv video.
Happy Father’s Day
There is one story I forget the name of the video but some women went missing for a while I can’t remember if she was with others at first but some other guy was camping by a lake and heard rocks fallen into the lake, this was at night, or almost night time, and he looked up and saw the women crawling like an animal and said she looked possessed. There was a lot more too it but that’s the scariest one to me if I find it I will link it
@@jackguess762 I am pretty sure it happened in a headless valley
@@TheBearestBearBearBear maybe I’ve seen that one too but it was a while ago and I’ve watched like every video so I get them mixed up. Something about the girl knocking rocks into a lake and a guy saw here. I know that was apart of it
Yes headless valley
This story gave me chills more than most stories do, even Mr. Ballen’s other stories. It sounds like that woman got into an accident and had a head injury, which would line up with the car being damaged, the bruise on her face, and her seemingly being unresponsive. In addition to that stuff lining up, I’ve had times where I’m anxious (or drunk 🤦🏼♀️) and I’m looking for something (my phone, my inhaler, etc) and I just throw everything around trying to find it. Maybe she was looking for her phone or something she needed or thought she needed and in her injured/confused state she just tossed things aside while looking through her things. Then her survival instincts kicked in and she set up camp anyway? And then maybe she continued trying to find what she was looking for, which might account for the campsite being messed up like the car. Maybe she couldn’t find it, decided to grab her sleeping bag (cold, maybe?) and look for the car or just head north? As for the child, it sounds like maybe she was trying to communicate with him. Her “position” he mentioned sounds like maybe a fall? Which wouldn’t be difficult with no shoes and a head injury. If the little boy says she’s dead and described her that well, then I believe him. As someone else posted, it seems like she wants her body to be found. She may have been in a vehicle accident, was overwhelmed by her injuries or the elements or another accident like a fall, and then she happened to be able to reach the little boy some how. Hopefully HOPEFULLY, she shows up alive somewhere, recovering from a head injury and amnesia or something. But at the very least, I hope that if she is gone, her body is found and returned to her family so they get closure. I hope Sandra finds peace, wherever she is.
Great comment, I agree 👌🏽
Cannot even begin to read your comment. Yet ,yours is not only one on social media....reason is ,many, such as your writing, goes on and on, 1 long paragraph ,no paragraphs.
Wish people would learn proper basic writing .....
You have a very sound theory here and with the little kid seeing here that are many stories of kids seeing ghosts and such. It seems the human mind or whatever it may be is more perceptive at a young age.
@@colleenblackwater4792 Due to your improper use of commas, I had to read your comment three times to understand what you were trying to say.
@@colleenblackwater4792 Oh, the irony.
That was by far the spookiest Mr Ballen I’ve seen so far!!!
Oh man I love your stories. You can do the Bodies in the Barrel case in Snowtown South Australia. Don’t Google it but just let Mr Ballen do it justice. A case full of evil and sadness.
Has he done it?
I think she was alive the first two times she was spotted. I know a woman who personally, no belongings, went in the forest and was found months later. It was a psychotic break but at same time Sandra Hughes literally majored in wilderness survival!
I’m thinking she had a psychological event too. Most women with blue hair have issues. Jk jk but seriously, I think she prob had a psych issue
@@MisterK-YTI’m assuming she had amnesia from the car crash
Poor lady. I hope this can be solved one day. There’s so many missing people out there. It’s terrible.
agreed.
She's definitely an ANTIFA super soldier on a secret mission.
Maybe a serial killer at large
Please please do a story about Bryce Laspisa who went missing under somewhat similar circumstances in 2013. He’s still missing and is believed to have been in a car accident and/or suffering from a psychotic break. So sad
This is the creepiest one so far, great storytelling
"I see dead people." That popped in my head when the little boy was apparently seeing Sandra's ghost. What a chilling, sad story.
How can we infer that she were dead for real? May be the child had seen the missing woman's advertisement photos and making it up. After all many people claimed to have seen her and that her dead body hasn't been recovered yet.
No such things as ghosts, boss.
@@kjmdrumz3 That was proven?
@@RenormalizedAdvait What pictures posted outdoors, where the family could see, would have stayed legible over a year? And none of the photos of her showed her in a black shirt with bluejeans. And children that small can't clearly see pictures posted high up above their heads. And if there had been such a picture, surely the parents would have seen it, too, but the boy's description rang no bells for them.
I agree she was dead from the very beginning.. what or who
And what killed could take her form as well
Am I the only one who when Mr Ballen tells a story, you can actually picture the setting, the people, the background, the atmosphere, damn near the smell in the air?! This dude has a true gift and is actually pretty smart. Telling these stories without doing cognitive research on said topic is borderline impossible. Dude does his homework, glasswork, extra credit assignments and all when it comes to these stories!!!! Hats off to you Mr Ballen!!! 💯💯💯💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
condescend much
I’ve fallen asleep listening to ballen and yes! I’ve had full blown dreams visualizing the Afghanistan ghosts episode.
Get off his nuts will ya!
It’s almost as if he’s describing everything that happened and painting a picture for us, but come on now that would just be absolutely crazy 😜
True
This had to be the MOST terrifying story I've ever heard. Oh man.
I can't believe the police didn't use a search dog on the first or second day!!
This guy went out of his way to still make strange, dark, and mysterious content on fathers day! Mr.Ballen deserves a gold metal
@yo Depp REPORTED FOR SPAMMING
Well , to be fair he didn't make this today he probably made it a week or something ago.
But he still deserves a medal 🏅 though. He is absolutely amazing at story telling
You deserve a fishing pole for these likes you’re trying to catch
What’s a gold metal? How would we give him gold metal? We could give him a gold MEDAL, but idk about a gold metal. Gold metal would be expensive. What kind of metal? Would it be gold plated? Lol……I’m just kidding, before anyone gets bent out of shape.
He most likely made this over the span of a couple days and then uploaded it today
It’s crazy to imagine that ghost Sandra wanted help but living Sandra didn’t.
Her spirit has to be set free.
I think all the sightings were ghost Sandra.
@@cess4089 yup
@@cess4089 agreed
Mental illness is a problem in the brain. No brain, maybe no mental illness.
I feel like what happened to her might be that when she got into the accident she had some sort of head trauma that caused her to either lose her memories or get confused of where she was. And I feel like the last 2 sightings of her the one where she was on that very secluded road that the hunter saw and also when the boy saw her was actually her ghost and that she had passed away at that point. Now the thing is to try and locate her body so her family can be at peace, finally knowing that she's been found
goosebumps. still have goosebumps when the kid said he saw the woman.
What weirded me out most was I used to camp there in the 90's when I was a kid. I have no idea where it was, but my Uncle and I went hiking and came across this hidden cemetery (it was in the middle of nowhere and no trails close to it, not marked on any maps and to be honest I have no idea how we even found it) that probably dated back to the gold rush era. There were maybe 50ish graves there, along with several graves that looked to belong to babies or small children. Along the way we heard typical sounds of nature but when we up got there I remember at one point realizing that I didn't hear any birds or insects. The only sound was a slight breeze blowing through the trees. Me and my uncle hardly said a word as we were looking around and finally he said "I really feel like we're not supposed to be here" and then we left. I remembered feeling like I was being watched too. Still gives me the creeps when I think about it even though I don't really believe in ghosts or anything. Though I should point out we also used to camp at a place called Jackson Meadows so I might have the locations mixed up.
Awesome story Mr. Ballen!
There's a RUclips channel where a man named Donnie Laws talks about the Appalachian Mountains. He also had experienced an old graveyard in the woods with complete silence all around....
There is a allegedly haunted cemetery just a couple of miles from where I live that has a huge reputation of having some real active paranormal phenomena. I wanted to go out there to see what I could experience and the drive up there was really nice. Alot of forest and country homes, birds singing, sunshine. That was until we (my little brother was with me) got within maybe 2 mi/1.5 mi from the cemetery. All activity ceased. We had seen people on their porches, in their gardens, enjoying the day all the way prior to getting close to the cemetery. No people. No cars on the road. But even stranger than all that, every percieveable sound of nature had disappeared. Birds fell silent. No sounds of insects calling in the woods. Everything fell away in proximity to this cemetery, everything but a slight, subtle breeze moving the leaves of the trees. Once we arrived the cemetery, a heaviness landed on me and my brother. Like two giant hands had clasped together over me, my brother, and this graveyard. The gate was already open, and we walked in. To paint a picture of this cemetery, it was basically a large rectangular plot carved directly out of dense forest. The entryway of the cemetery was on one of the shorter sides of the rectangle. Upon entering the gate there was a short, singular dirt path that went maybe 75 feet into the cemetery, the cemetery itself being about 400 ft long and maybe 100 ft wide. The path was between 4 trees staggered on each side. The trail dissipated and all that was left was graves. As soon as me and my brother got off the dirt trail, we heard what sounded like a 300lb wwe wrestler sprinting full speed out of the woods towards our direction. When we turned around...Nothing. Scariest paranormal experience ive had to date.
Similar experience... My friend has an old miner's cabin in California. It's in a very remote location. I've been going there with them since we were kids. Funny thing is every time we go it's dead silent and there's almost no animal activity (I've only ever seen 1 squirrel and maybe two birds). I've grown up camping in remote forests and deserts my whole life and you will always hear and see wildlife. Every single time I've been there it's always silence, day and night. We once took our friend's dog who absolutely loves the outdoors and it refused to leave the inside of the cabin the entire trip. This dog has been on countless backpacking trips and such, so very out-of-character. Certainly very weird but I never felt a negative presence, I definitely did not feel alone there though. It should be noted that at the time I was not superstitious but the older I get and the more that I have seen and learned makes me question what we perceive and deny about the world around us. Not saying that's what it is but I think it's important to respect the dead. I like to keep an open mind, just because we can't prove something with science does not mean it does not exist. Think, for a very long time humanity believed that Earth was the center of the universe and our sun orbited around us... Just sayin' ...
Me and my family use to go camping all the time till one time we felt like we were being watched,kept hearing voices all night and didn’t see anything. It felt so intense,both me and my husband felt it and I didn’t feel safe. Don’t go anymore at night 😩
i’m gonna need to know more that is a very interesting experience
Fascinating story! Reminds me of the time when I visited Seattle to a friend's wedding. When she & the groom we're having a private conversation in the house, I didn't want to intrude on their space so i waited patiently in the middle of the staircase between their living room & bedroom of their 2 story home. I sat on the steps and as I waited for them to come out of their bedroom, I noticed their cats were "staring" at something next to me. I looked around, but didn't see anything. Finally my friend comes out the door, and her first reaction was "what are you doing sitting in the middle of the staircase?", and I told Her "you guys were talking for a while so I decided to sit here & get comfortable while I waited for you to come out the door, is that alright?" She kind of answered laughing "yea yea, that's fine", but with the look she gave, I sensed she wasn't telling me everything! When I returned back home to NYC, we spoke on the phone & she told me the real reason why she was surprised to see me sitting in the middle of the staircase. Apparently she often spots the ghost of a little girl seen crying sitting in the middle of the staircase! One time she confronted the little girl & asked her if she lived here before. The little girl replied "yes", and then my friend asked "why are u crying? Are you lost?". The ghost told her "I'm looking for my mommy, please help me find my mommy!". That moment I suddenly had goose bumps all over me! Her now husband has also seen her ghost a few times wandering in the kitchen. My friend didn't want to say anything to me at the time because she knew it would freak me out, and it did! I never saw any ghost while I was at the house. However, when my friend left me alone in that house to pick up her gown, I recall a feeling of being "watched" in the living room from the staircase so I decided to run upstairs quick and take a shower before the groom arrives. As i did so, I saw their cats stare in my direction but didn't feel any bad vibes. Also, their house is across the street from a grave yard which might explain alot, lol.
that story gave me goosebumps haha
