MrBallen I’ve never bought merch from a RUclipsr, but I would from you!
@@MrBallen How about a like button punching bag?
How about you don’t choke me?
As a creature expert, I can without a doubt confirm it was not a Dolphin

Guns in the barn??? That’s a TERRIBLE idea!
That’s what happens when a guy lets his wife tell him what to do!
539strt exactly
Just the condensation from being outdoors will ruin the guns
@@539strt Yep.
WORST. I'd secretly stash one or two in places around the house...
I've been through Palmyra. When i lived in the Bangor area, I used to work in Dexter, and had to pass through Palmyra often on the way back from Dexter. I can tell you that inland Maine is VERY different from coastal Maine. It's ALL very deep forest, and there's a constant, definite sense that you're being watched by something that HATES you and doesn't want you there. It's VERY creepy.
Yea my uncle lives up in palmyra, New England is just a creepy place in general with the history, the forest, etc. but palmyra especially gave me the creeps idk why. Something about the woods up there is different.
I hunt in the Dexter/Cambridge/Athens/Harmony area every year. It’s a bit spooky once that sun goes down. Never seen or heard of anything like this.
Just a guess, you don't work for the Maine Department of Tourism ?
@@moondawg3693 NO WAY
Activity in Carmel. Supernatural.
I don't know why this particular story fascinates me so much. Love this one
Have you seen the film (Werewolf in London) ?
@@The-Mighty-Orange American Werewolf in London actually. Pretty good for it's time
I’m like that with the Pine needle farm story by Mr b
living in a two-story large house in the middle of the forest and noticing that everything has gone quiet in the middle of the night is another level of horror
That must be terryifing, I also live in the country so if that happens to me im just gonna probally move to the ocean.
@@man_noplan you should check out some ocean horror stories then, lol
Do you have any weapons? Firearms? Dogs?
Hello does anyone here believe in Jesus???

Never tell the police that "something" is on your property. Tell them "someone" is trying to get into your house.
i be like fuc* this shi* iam out
Officer down I think there's an officer down and someone is burglarizing his patrol car on my gravel. Also they have someone filming it for RUclips you better get here quick before they post it.
"officer someone is recording a rio-"
"we're sending 10 trucks and 31 cars, please remain where you are"
Not cool. Just tell them the truth so they can respond appropriately.
I mean, when they don't respond at all...
How every paranormal story starts: *Family moves into cheap house in the middle of nowhere*
That's the truth - cheap house means no or inadequate security system and middle of nowhere means easy targets for just about anything - robbers, drifters, animals, ghosts?, werewolves?, etc. Moreover, empty houses out in the middle of nowhere could also mean it might have been inhabited before by just about anything one or twice before, including former but now deceased occupants. Anybody with a decent means will never want to leave in a place like this, and those desperate enough will likely vacate in no time or......
@@markchee4457 yeah you're right though. But then again, we can't blame those who get cheap housing like this. They're most probably suffering a financial crisis, that's a common factor in such stories. This is why you gotta have connections with literally anyone and everyone possible to make sure help arrives if you're in danger
I saw on a moonlit night running across a field, in Dover Foxcroft, Maine a massively huge canine like creature. This was just after midnight in July of 2021. This creature crossed the road in front of me but far enough to avoid danger at an extremely high rate of speed. It had dark hair and extremely powerful legs and was an estimated width of my car not counting its long tail. It was so bizarre looking and hugely strong, I thought this must be some kind of movie stunt or set. That time I didn't turn around but got moving quickly. The terrain was open fields on both sides of the road. Terrifying speed from this creature 😳 😬. Whatever this creature was it did not seem a part of this planet. I have been trained to observe and report but even this was too terrifying to report. This creature did not appear to be fearful or afraid of my car at all. I was traveling at about 55mph and it was moving extremely fast.
It's called a dogman, and they are real.
@@Waderbader1982 What is that sh1t about a "dogman"? Lmao it's called a werewolf and no, they're not real.
If everything in the woods goes quiet, it usually means there's an apex predator nearby.
Yea I hunt and I have one story that scares the absolute shit out of me that i lived through
Actually thats a myth, when an apex predator shows up sure the land animals get quiet but the birds, crows literally shout in their own way to alert the land animals that there is an apex predator nearby.
@@GeekRaj not in my story I was hunting one time and there were birds chirping which were normal and out of no where it was just quiet and just dread washed over me like I wasn’t alone anymore
@@zerotwo6396 so you were armed with gear and it went from normal to quiet and then you got that watched or stalked feeling?? Any other disturbances, like disorientation or strange sound?
@@bfreeman8786 So I was planted up in a tree stand with a rifle and a Flir scout because I hunt when it’s dark out in then morning but there’s some light that birds are about, so it just makes it easier to look for deer, while I was there about a good 35-45 mins of sitting there, that’s when everything went dead silent, and I started to have the back of my neck start to have the hairs rise up and I felt uneasy about everything at that point because I was alone and had no cell reception in a dense forest, then I started hearing branches break about 50-60 feet away from me, so I went to go look with my flir and it just would not turn on what’s so ever so I just sat there listening to this thing move and it sounded massive, I felt like it knew I was close by and was looking for me, so I stayed in the tree for another 40 mins till I no longer felt in danger and high tailed it through the woods for a good 3-4 miles to my truck, but while I was running it felt like something was off in the distance watching me. Other than that one time I never felt threatened ofc I live in Maryland where we do have black bears in a certain area but they normally don’t scare me at all so I shrug them off besides this time it felt like something else.

I binged on Mr. Ballen about two years ago. I’ve watched all of his videos but now I’m back rewatching and I swear it’s just as captivating as the first time around.
Same here!
Me too.... Lol
Ikr lol
This was my very 1st episode from John Ballen, and by far my most favorite episode. Watched it 4 times now, followed by that one "When you hear a bell, RUN"...
The two creepiest ones for me. The bell episode absolutely TERRIFIED me.
Thanks to the husband's 5 friends with parkor training and werewolf costumes he will always be able to keep the guns in the house.
Lol
Dead💀
Way to regurgitate someone else’s comment
Great
@@user-qw4ud5cj6j bruv
And that’s the story how the husband won on having his guns back in the house. Respect.
Guns yes the more the better
Damn right! Weapons should always be readily available!!
Fool put his guns in the garage for his wife? There's the door babe. Have a nice life......maybe.
ROFL
I mean, a man gets no respect for having to win an argument to have equipment to protect his family in his house.. maybe he shoulda just put his foot down and made her get over it
I love these stories I'm living in the woods about 160 miles north east of there and in this time I've heard packs of wolves / coyotes 2x and the dog looked out and said NOPE not going out.
This guy is so talented. Mesmerizing storyteller. I'm chronically ill and he has provided me with hours of entertainment and distraction from pain.
Shelly is the first person to die in any horror movie. Literally has both iq and survival instincts of a damn grapefruit.
This is a perfect summary 😂
Its like a family of Grapefruit, a family of grapefruit growing like a hand of bananas.
Little miss "no guns in the house" was the one who said "get the gun".
Fun fact: Grapefruits have an IQ of 347 and survival instincts of 598
Her husband should have said well too bad they staying inside the house
Who else randomly found his channel is now addicted?
me I SWEAR I found this last thursday or something but its is SOo addicting i found this channel when i was watching bedtime stories skinwalker ranch
yes sir
Kinda
Yep
Yep! Just got here today
I live in Tennessee and know that you should not be outside in the dark woods at night… especially if all the surrounding wildlife goes quiet. I have also seen creatures I cannot explain, and they are much bigger than any human I have witnessed. Eric had some serious courage and bravery to do that in order to protect his family; I am glad they all survived.
How did you see them? Were you in your house or in a car?
This episode is special to me because this is where I discovered @MrBallen. I remembered the Paranormal Witness episode when visiting my mom in Maine, and played this for her since she had not heard the story. Been hooked ever since.
Yes! I knew this story was familiar. Paranormal Witness! That episode was so scary!
Yes I also know about this story but is this story copied from Mr Ballen podcast or from the series paranormal witnesses I am confused can anyone pls clear this to me because if this story is the same then I am just again watching it , i mean I don't mind re-watching it but it's repetitive right.
I believe this was the first one i watched also. Then i got hooked on Dogman stories lol
I'm not personally a gun person, but what the hell is the point of having guns for protection, if they're not in the damn house.
None!!!
exactly bro like you always put your damn guns in the damn house because if you don’t then whatever you come across demon person or what you’re probably gonna die or be hurt
‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
Stupid, right? And you just know that a creepy clown or other movie killer is going to come across it and use it on you.
@@ameliafroehlich2577 it's not stupid, he had guns for hunting and suddenly super creatures came to attack. An incident or an outcome is not someone's fault, even if it's a mistake as one does not predict, control nor create results for a whole situation. Your actions and thoughts result in something and are altered by other results which end in other results which makes an outcome. Mistakes are not known or predicted ways, and predictions and thoughts might've been of something else, stupidity is when someone is carelessly ignoring of or not understanding of one basic clear part. Don't misuse the calling of stupidity.
Shelly is a rural lady and *doesnt* want guns in the house? No way. If you’re isolated you want guns around.
Yeeeeees! If someone DARE to say that to me while in a isolated area i would throw them out of the house unarmed. And if i saw those demons myself and they didn't believe it i would throw them outside no mercy. Be smart don't be a dumbass.
I live in a rural area and our guns are in my husbands shop about 150 ft from the house. In 25 years we have never had the occasion to need them.
Whether you live in the city, country, car, or even an island you always want to keep a gun around. Better to have one and not need it than to need it and not have it
And instead of trusting her SO's instincts on the porch she fights over it. She annoyed me a couple of times during this story. You listen to each other and if one of you has an instinctive feeling you act on it and don't stand around arguing.
If your not isolated you need them close. No point to the statement
NEVER EVER LET A WOMAN TELL YOU THAT YOU CAN'T KEEP YOUR FIREARMS IN THE HOUSE. EVER!!!!
HER IGNORANCE CAN BE YOU AND HER'S DEATH SENTENCE.
Totally agree!!
I saw in broad daylight, a dark haired extremely large canine creature eating a dead animal in St. Albans, Maine and the way this very large sparsely haired creature was devouring the kill terrified me. I drove past, turned around went back and it was running extremely fast dragging the kill toward the top of the hill. It was like no other creature I have seen. It had a long snout/ muscle, tall ears, very muscular and very long with a long tail. St. Albans is very close to Palmyra.
Owning a gun or any other defensive weapon is useless if it’s not accessible almost immediately at any time.
I think the husband should have insisted they keep the guns in the house.
@@jackoh991 you have a good point but I would hope responsible adult gun owners would keep their guns put away from children. My husband and I have grown children and no grandchildren nor any small children around but we still keep our guns secured.
Jack Oh I grew up around guns and was taught etiquette, and that you don’t friggin touch them without permission. Additionally, you can keep a locked gun case in your room and hide the key if your kid is, I don’t know, a little shit who doesn’t listen.
Exactly
@@jackoh991 That almost never happens. Most people's kids are WAY smarter than that. -but I suppose that depends on the parents.
Werewolves: cool
Dogmen type creatures like this: fucking terrifying
3 days a month compared to dogmen and I've heard Bigfoot encounters with dogmen dogmen get the crap beaten out of them, cool it's like Godzilla vs monster zero
For sure dogman
@@deusexmachinamotorsports1505 ikr they are scary
They sound like amazing creatures. Equally terrifying tho. 🔥🙀
I heard from a investigator speak on TV that skin walkers are not just in Utah but spread all over the USA, kind of disappointing to me because I liked the deal with bigfoot getting competion of another nonhuman humanoid species racing about terrorizing people in the woods.
Mr. Ballen, without a doubt, was the one who gave the best narration of this story, congratulations on the excellent work
I grew up in the remote woods of Maine. I've been an outdoorsman since I could walk and have an intimate understanding of the wildlife. I'm an excellent tracker.
Without going into much detail, can say that my family and I saw lights similar to those that you describe on a winter's night in 1983. A group of friends and I also saw one of these creatures on a lonely road to Quebec in Northern Maine back in 1988.
I've always been sober and I don't have any mental illness. That said, the things that I have witnessed both in the woods and on the water along the coast in Maine would make a bald person's hair stand on end.
I've always been an atheist, but what I have seen during my lifetime, especially in the remote areas of Maine have convinced me that there is far more happening than we understand.
why is your nickname in russian if you grew up in Maine?
Not wolves, not bears...
Jehovah Witness night shift
Yay for nightmares
Yeah
soon as I read this had to take a quick glance behind, for safety reasons
I'm a Jehovah's witness and i found this the best comment ever Bahahahaha
Fuck I laughed too hard at this😂
Shelly's that person in the horror film who sees something suss but still wants to go skinny dipping at night in the haunted lake.

As a zoologist, I can confirm, those animals weren’t woodpeckers😂😂
I’ve come back to this story so many times along with Mr ballens first post of the ghost that haunts him. Two of my fav stories of all time
I have seen this same story on paranormal witnesses but I don't get it is this story copied by Mr Ballen sir from their podcast by the paranormal witnesses or vice versa pls clear this I am actually curious.
I remember some years ago I was walking home from work around 3am. The road I walked was surrounded by forest and not many lights. That night the forest went silent and I could have sworn I was being watched, so I hurried my pace and made it to a taco bell that a friend worked at. Thankfully they had a maintenance guy there so I ran up to there door and called out to him. He saw me run up and opened the door to let me in. Not even a second later a pack of wolves ran right up to the door. They had been following me for about 3-4 miles. A silent forest is not safe. My advice, get to shelter fast.
Where do you live? I'm in West London, UK - not a problem I'll ever have to endure whilst here!
@@lurkster1974 when this happened I used to live in Tumwater Washington in the US. There was alot of forests between there and my work in Olympia.
@@lurkster1974 for sure. One of my fondest memories of Washington was standing in the middle of the street and on my left it was snowing and on my right it was raining. That place is so mystical. But one day I would love to visit London. I hear great things about the country sides from friends.
The wolves should be happy u didnt go to Taco Bell before you met them
@@VenomBurst mystical is good. I found Kathmandu that way.
I'd love to go to Washington state day, mountain biking, but for now I'll stick with Scotland and Wales.
Mr Ballen.... Literally the only person that doesn't piss me off when they take 20min to tell me a 2min story. I'm sure you were a badass SEAL, but your calling is absolutely story telling.
NO Doubt,P.P.!
Jesus, my husband could send everyone to a mental institution with his L-O-N-G drawn
out stories, conversations, anecdotes etc. I’ve always wonder if it’s a thing that people from the south acquire. Drives me to drink!
@@keeiiaann1820 from the south, can't stand long stories, except from MrB... Lol
That storytelling ability is an absolute GIFT 🤗 😍
I bet he's made a few dollars from it too and fair play to him . I always like my Ballen fix although i had to stop watching the cave stories and people trapped in ovens and stuff,made me feel morbid but I found them addictive.
Listening to his story telling has me right in the story, amazing .
Yeah
Wrote this for my english activity.
Gave my classmates nightmares
Am I the only one that felt relieved when she found their two dogs safe at the master's bedroom? 12:08
ME I WAS SO HAPPY
I caught myself holding my breath until she found them.
My brother left when he started to talk about the dogs because he didn’t want to hear about the dogs dying.
I had to go it him and tell him they were safe lol
I was so afraid they were outside
If them dogs were out there I would use myself as human bait and let the dogs run inside
Imagine at the end of the story the creatures say, “We’ve been trying to reach you about your car’s extended warranty.”
😂😂😂😂🤣
Dumb
They just wanted to let them know they can make up to a thousand dollars a month donating hemoglobin
Ok cole
😂🤣
This is hands down your best episode. I've listened 3 times!
This story is giving me the worst case of anxiety 😅 I lived in the woods, in the mountains, in Washington. Our closest neighbor was 4-5 miles away. It was pitch black at night and sometimes I would get so bored, I would walk up our gravel driveway about 150 feet from the house and make a left onto a 2 lane mountain road that leads you straight to a river and bridge not incredibly far from the house. It was about 1/4 mile to the bridge. I would walk up this road in the middle of the night and as I looked off into the forest on each side of me, it was as if you were being watched. The trees looked like they moved and you always heard strange noises. That place was eerie.
Sounds like Sultan Washington. I used to live there. Just guessing. Glad you are safe.
Here is a piece of advice: When you get "that feeling" that "something is off", wrong, etc et al, TRUST IT. Leave. Now. Do. Not. Second. Guess. It.
Exactly right my friend, exactly right...Apart from the obvious, another reason why we should always trust our gut feeling is because if you start ignoring it, you'll stop getting them. Or it'll be off kilter, like you'll get the gut feeling when you shouldn't...
So yes, ALWAYS listen and trust your gut feeling ☺💖☮
Great advice I am always preaching listen to your gut you never know when it just might save your life.
i’d like but there’s 69 likes
True it is instinct.
The way you put a period after every word reminds when girls clap after they say a word
I just want to say if the wild life goes dead silent and u get an eerie vibe that means there is an apex predator there.....seen or unseen
Yep, sometimes even just another person (which can also be a threat).
True true
When wild life goes silent *get in the house don’t ask why just get in it might be a werewolf but it might be a very big bear or animal pasing by
Yep
@@charliedallachie3539 nah, people won’t have that kind of effect
How/why did they not just break the windows? That's the problem I have with all these close-call paranormal/UFO abduction stories. They're so fantastical in every which way except a few key ones. Like 8' tall monsters scratching at wooden doors but glass windows are somehow entirely anathema. Aliens travel whatever distance you want, from another planet or dimension, and are dumbfounded by things like humans feeling pain (Travis Walton recalling aliens apologizing to him for stabbing a needle into his leg), or various concepts that such beings should just be able to reason out (Betty Hill's discussions with the aliens onboard their craft seeming like a cultural exchange rather than an abduction). I don't know man. Maybe they just had neighbors that didn't like them and wanted to force them out.
Most animals don’t actually understand glass because it’s a clear thing that isn’t found in nature at all. Like birds can’t see glass which is why birds will try to fly through windows on people’s houses. Also the family had the windows covered so maybe the creatures didn’t realize that there was glass maybe they just thought it was a different colored wall. Or maybe they see in black and white and couldn’t make out the different colors so they just thought it was a normal wall.
And well I don’t believe most alien stories I do believe that initially aliens would try to learn about us not just murder people. Idk if you’ve seen it but MrBallen has a video about skinwalker ranch, which is ironic because if that story is true it sounds like aliens and not at all skinwalkers, but the creatures on skinwalker ranch would press their face against windows and look though them they also never tried to harm the people or get into the house. So I believe Aliens in these stories aren’t trying to destroy people but more so observe them.
Also about the pain thing I would imagine that aliens probably invented very advanced medical treatments maybe one of them is removing or highly limiting pain so that could explain why they’d be shocked about a human feeling pain. I mean we have medicine that removes and limits pain so it isn’t impossible for aliens to have a more advanced version.
Animals aren't' known for breaking into windows.
Wood feels softer to them than a window. Yeah if they lunged into the window they could probably break it, but animals tend to use their claws to dig/burrow rather than use blunt force to knock things down. This is actually pretty consistent animalistic behavior. Throwing their bodies into a surface that to the touch feels harder than the wood would make no sense and could result in them causing harm to themselves.
What killed it for me was hearing that the police refused to come out and save them. That would never happen in real life. And you're right about the windows too. Those things would have smashed their way inside somehow.
Because they're dumb animals. Fantastical or not.
I live in Mathews VA and this here kinda' puts some trails to what I saw back in July/August 2014. I was 17, had two buddies with me and went for a walk up to the good ole 711 from a place we all stayed at that summer. Took a back road walk on Seaford road to get there and it's a long stretch of gravel to the main road, and it's pitch black thanks to the covering of trees, we all agreed early we felt something watching us and we didn't pay it much mind really. Halfway down we for whatever reason could hear chains drag occasionally and then they semi skidaddled and I just kept walking normal. As I caught up at the end of the road, I came into some light from the street post and I was maybe 25-30 foot into the light, we all got a feeling to turn and look back and there was a 7.5-8ft tall wolf/coyote that had mint green jewel like eyes standing up walking towards the light and then got down and lowered it's head slowly into the light and we all ran after that. It was the most random thing but it was very real
“This experience was so traumatic they left and sold the house”
The next family that moves there: Honey
are those wolves?
He says "Hang on, let me use the scope to get a better look." BANG! "Nice big one, love! Can't wait to take some pictures."
Shoots it and it looks at him. To Be Continued...
Naa, Can't be wolves. They're all standing up tall and looking at us.. must be the neighbors.

Survival Tip: when moving into a house in a rural area, be sure to keep pets inside for the first few weeks, as other predators will consider the animal an intruder until they realize the home is now inhabited.
Survival Tip 2: If your inside, and the woods go silent, bring pets and children inside. This means a much larger predator is near. Silence is only calming when you are indoors.
Great tips! I don’t use these a lot!.
Agreed
If animals are dead silent and refuse to go somewhere TURN AROUND
Great tips! I want to note at times animals in the woods will not go quiet when there is a large predator. I live in Montana and the birds and other various small animals will get louder when a predator is near.
@Lewi Cifer your saying you think it was just wolves?
@Lewi Cifer wolves stand on 2 legs now?
Years later this is still one of my favorite stories from Mr. Ballen.. what brought me back AGAIN today is because another RUclipsr was telling this story and told all the way messed up I got so mad at how bad his story telling was that I had to come back and hear my favorite story be told by my favorite and the best story teller of all time Mr. Ballen 🥰💯
Randomly remembered this video and came back to rewatch it. Great stuff dude
I've been using RUclips for 10 years, followed thousands, watched maybe a million videos... even made a few myself. There has never been a RUclipsr that I was so excited to see a new video uploaded. I've never waited in anticipation for a new video from a particular RUclipsr like I do from Mr.Ballen. Thank you! Much respect to you and yours. Most of all thank you for your service. Stay frosty my friend.
Same here can't get enough. I love how he describes everything. I strongly dislike when it's over, Ahhhhhhh no more. I guess there would be to much of a good thing tho. (maybe) John and Dixie Cryptid my two favorites. 🐾🇨🇦
Wow I really feel so flattered, thank you for letting me know!!!
Same and i tend to enjoy comments more than the content.. nope Mr Ballen gets my full attention and hit the comments after!
Same. He’s like Bob Gymlan but more horror stories.
I hate seeing these new videos. I have no time to recover in between.
I have spent thousands of hours hunting in the wilderness of the rockies, not like sitting in a stand but actually tracking elk and walking many miles each day and let me tell you being in the woods when it’s completely silent is of if not the scariest things I’ve experienced

Dang Mr. Ballen, you have blown the heck up since I've been following you!! I think that is wonderful!! 😄🤗
This was my first Mr Ballen video glad I continued watching
I dont think you understand how relieved I was when you said the dogs were safe inside
Exactly! Me too!!!😬
Me too
It's funny tho because In the majority of Mrballens stories the animals always come smarter then the humans 🤣🤣
The dogs were already upstairs hiding together🤣 they disowned the family when them creatures hit the porch 😂😂
Ikr
As this finished up, my dogs started freaking out. There was a deer on our porch. I was scared 😂
Oh no😭😂 I’m so srrryyyy😭😭
oh god😭😭 i would’ve thought i summoned something
Wow timing lol that’s scary but funny
The video summoned it 😆🤣
Hope your doggos are living their best life
Bahaha 😄
Thank you for telling this. This was on the SiFi channel a couple of years after it happened. Linda Godfrey also has it in one of her books. Thanks again, from Maine.
This was the video that introduced me to MrBallen, great video :)
12:15 who else just is SO HAPPY that the dogs are alive.
AAAAw meeeeeee. So happy
Me. I also had my dog watching with me and she understands the human language so she was scared. Poor thing.
Right!
me too. the dogs welfare was my first thought!!!
As soon as he said she didn’t know where they were my heart dropped
Shelley sounds like one of those horror movie characters that survives only because the plot demands it.
@Ken Fullman how do you explain them seeing 8 foot tall creatures
@Ken Fullman explain scratch marks?
@@Nothing-ru4ft Pretty easily, to be honest. It's the same reason why people can look pictures taken from the sky that show entirely normal land formations, and instead interpret them as buildings/structures that don't exist and create conspiracies about what they must be. The human mind instinctively looks for familiar patterns and shapes, and can often succeed in either convincing us that we've seen things that aren't there or severely exaggerating their features.
In the case of fear and anxiety, it's not terribly unusual for us to exaggerate the characteristics of something that we find threatening. Likely a leftover survival mechanism from a long time ago, when it was probably safer for Ug and Throg to interpret a predator as bigger than it is and run instead of underestimating it and trying to fight. Throw in low visibility due to limited light sources, and it's easy to mistake things around the predator (or even the predator's own shadow) as an actual part of said predator, thus making it appear far more massive in our mind's eye.
There's a good reason why anecdotal evidence - personal experiences, such as eyewitness accounts - is generally considered the weakest form of evidence. The human mind is an incredible thing, but it's also *very* flawed and easily capable of tripping itself up. After all, we're talking about the same brains that can make us do ridiculous shit like frantically turn a room inside out to find "lost" car keys that we're literally holding the whole time.
@@VenathTehN3RD your response could have been smaller
Obviously puts her ego above her safety.
Mr. Ballen,
You're an excellent narrator, this was such a good story. I have a Chromecast plugged into my TV so I can watch all the videos in my livingroom. Many times I have fell asleep but not this time. I'm subbed, left a thumbs up, and a tap on the bell. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your stories, thanks for sharing.
My sister told me to check it out. I cannot pass it by. Thank you sister!!
The wife refusing to go inside did it for me ..I've never asked questions when someone felt something was off and suggested we leave or go inside .....🤦🏾♀️
‘Better safe than sorry’ is always the better philosophy to follow. The fact that the story led off with that she refused to allow guns in the house despite living in a rural, borderline wilderness, area of Maine tells you she’s not that thoughtful about things.
KucklePuff Exactly. Not having easily accessible protection in such a place was a pretty stupid decision.
@@QixTheDS I can’t imagine having a wife tell me that guns had to be kept in the barn! First of all, EVERY child should be taught about the safe handling of firearms as soon as they enter public school. As a society, we’ve gone completely off the reservation when it comes to this. Second, how secure can you really make your weapons in a barn? If the safe isn’t properly anchored into concrete with Hilti anchors, anyone can take it.
For over 20 years, I’ve slept with a suppressed SMG next to my bed, and I’ve only had to use it once in anger. I travel nearly every week, and I have a special bag that conceals my MP5. If I’m flying, I only travel with a handgun, but I can’t imagine living like these folks without a gun ready at all times. Seems like lunacy to me. Can you imagine if they’d had firearms and killed an unidentified apex predator? That would be a world-changing event!
@ororogrey IKR… also the husband going out leaving the door unlocked to get to the barn 🤦🏻♂️. They could’ve just called the police while staying inside
@@ncrawford1488 If they'd actually managed to shoot it, and had the body, that story would be buried *so* fast.
My wife , “the baseball bat in the room looks untidy, I’ll put it back it the utility cupboard downstairs where it belongs”. Exactly four days later, “I can hear noises downstairs, go and see what it is, take something with you just in case”. Me, “Like a baseball bat?” My wife, “Good idea there’s one in the cupboard downstairs”.
Tell her to go get it 😂
@@jonathanohearn3077 iviesp a frying pan it will come in handy and i hit bad boi
My half acre property has a 5 ft fence all the way around the property. A week ago someone was on our property --the hood on car was jarred so now we keep the outside lights on at night and i (30 something mother) keep a alloy baseball bat next to me as I sleep.
Oh hell yes its on.

THIS NEEDS TO BE A MOVIE!!!
They’ve already done it! It’s called “The Pack.” It’s the exact same premise as this story, and a very good movie.
I thank my teacher for showing this channel to us years ago still really addicting.
You know, the glowing orb, followed by the appearance of these wolf-beings sounds very similar to the happenings at the skinwalker ranch.
Yes Similar The Skinwalker Ranch one is Mr Favorite Mr.Ballen. Video
That's exactly what I thought
My thoughts exactly!
The lights appear before a lot of different paranormal events. Especially in the woods.
They might be skinwalkers
“You know those guns that might be needed to protect our isolated, helpless little family? Go ahead and keep them anywhere but in the house where we can get to them”
Yep! Guns stay in the house; wife stays in the barn.
For real, I get being worried about kids but that's what gun safes and keeping ammo in a separate area are for
@@christiniakollar8397 That isolation is the very reason I wouldn’t feel safe unless I had firearms. When authority response times can take 10 minutes, I’d rather at least have the option to protect myself, my family, and my property. Guns aren’t the answer to every problem, but when they are the answer they’re a damn good thing to have. I almost clicked off the video when I heard him say he kept the guns in the barn😂
Woman moment.
Exactly. Children that are raised by responsible gun owners are taught to be responsible themselves. Common sense and fear of an ass whopping would keep those kids from messing with their parents guns. It's typically the ones with dumbazz parents that do otherwise.
I love this story! It always creeps me out.
Wife: What are they doing out there?
Husband: They're just standing there....MENACINGLY!
GET OUT OF THERE, SPONGEBOB!!!
You had to say it😂😂
Ha ha 😂
Don't be a jerk and invite them in for coffee
And that's when we knew it was bullshit
I wonder how many times that house has been bought and sold. Sherif has probably gone out there before and said Oh HELL no! Not again!
We lived in a house that had “something” in it. We sold and it’s gone though 5 owners since. I can’t help but wonder...
Why don't they kill or capture those creatures? Cuz fake
@@ColderPls actual police reports so wh?y
Cops were cowards
THEY KNEW
@Kermit Peanut You aren't allowed to call other people 'clueless fools' when you can't use the correct form of 'there'.
I miss Mr.ballen old school way God bless you brotha and thank you for your service
Welp, here it is 2am and this story scared the shit out of me. Nice job!
Legend has it the wife had the like button in her purse and the creatures were just fans of the strange dark and mysterious delivered in story format, 3, 4 even 5 times every week.
Niiice

😂😂😂 This made me laugh, what got me was the last part even more! 🤣🤣
yes
Hahaha nicee
Moral of the story: Guns locked in a cabinet behind a locked barn door is equal to no gun at all.

This is my favorite Mr. Ballen story.
I think that these creatures are a new species or a species that has bin around and not bin noticed. So those footprints could be a huge way to see if someone else found them. Thank you for making this video!
Husband to friends: "My wife doesnt let me keep my guns in the house"
Friends: "Dont worry bro we got you"
Later that night:
Excellent plan to make a believer. Nice.
The Truth! 😆😆😆😆😆
I'm not quite sure that that is true, but it'd be funny if I just got scared of forests only to find out it was some dressed up people or whatever you wanna call them.
Halloween: Yeah I know what to be next year honey.

Well, we need an update from the new owners of the property and see if they experienced anything similar.

“Hello we need help

Exactly why you need guns. 🤷♂️ people always seem so okay with giving them up I don’t get it. Blissful ignorance I guess.

I live in Tennessee. Years ago I worked at a factory called unipress... I had to be at work at 430 am for quite a few months. I was living with my grandparents at the time which was way out in b.f.e. . But one morning I got up for work, headed out a little after 3am. It was about an hr drive. I drove a dodge neon at the time... about a half mile from my grandparents house you go down a hill... at the bottom of the hill where it leveled out a wolf crossed the road right in front of me making me slam my brakes because I almost hit it.... but we dont have wolves in Tennessee, only coyotes, and they are small. This things head was taller than my car, and its body length was so long he crossed the road in a single stride, with his ears straight up, looking directly at me... like a dog circling prey... I immediately stopped as I passed and turned around to shine my headlights in the field it ran into and didn't see it again. But I will never forget that. I've never seen anything like it. It looked like a giant wolf, the size of a grizzely bear
I live in Tennessee and I used to live in a neighborhood in a town Maryville and in my back yard there were coyotes my dad woke me up and took me to my living room and said listen. And I heard them yipping and howling. And I was scared crapless. I did think it was cool but I would not like to see them in person. Also I think the creature you saw was a hellhound. Same goes for the video.
I have always thought that stories like the vid and the one your telling interesting. Something with a bear happened to my granny when she was a child. One time a bear walked on her front porch and her mom told her and her siblings to stay silent then she locked the door. I don't remember much of the story she told me but that is all I remember. Also the creature your talking about, did it growl or make any noise? If so what did it sound like. I have a few questions about it. Also one more thing, I have always to expirece something like that just to see what type of creature would show up and it's behavior. Also the day of the eclipse 3 years ago my cousin and mammow had went up to the smokies and said when it hit the animals were off in behavior. Howling and growling and other words activities.
@@davejeff4347 no it made no sounds, which I had the windows up, radio on. It was chilly... late fall..... it literally just popped out of the shadows in a sort of gallop.... not even a full run... but crossed the entire road in just a step or two. While looking my direction with its ears straight up . . Had a long fluffy tail... its head was taller than my car. Honestly if I was standing up , it looked like its head would be about even with mine. I'm 6ft tall.... its body had to be 7 to 8 ft long.... I've seen coyotes but this was more of a wolf looking, German shepherd type of look but just gigantic. I cant explain it. I've never seen anything like it , before or since then. I even turn the car around and tried to catch it in my headlights but it was gone
@@moleykewl7648 that's "something" you should not talk about......i had my own experience 3 months ago..i was with my family on a big road in the mountains when i see a little girl standing facing the car at the edge of the road so i was like ik what that is and then when we got closser to "it" it turns in to a blond brownish dog wolf mix that is easily 7 feet long and its features...eyes are big and look like human eyes i cant tell you the exact details because i only got a glimpse of it...and then we passed it and i turn around and what i see shocks me..it was crossing a big wall like a human would and then it went into a tunnel barely a meter wide and what shocked me is that i was looking at a little girl........i asked my family that was with me in the car and they said they did not see anything,i had to swear to them that i saw what i saw but i only told my cousin the little girl part.
You, my friend, encountered a Hellhound......
Its been years since i first heard MrBallen tell this story, and ive listened to ot 50 times or more. Yet, it still gets me every time. My spine chills and my muscles contort, i know whats coning next and yet, the imagry Ballen gives is such that i still want to go hide under my covers at 27 years old.
Hey Mr.Ballen.. I'm from Brewer Maine... not too far from your old haunts...
Great stories..
Peace
They see five "ceatures" stalking them or waiting for them to come outside. I'd be worrying about any they can't see.
Especially when the couple saw 5 creatures at the field but after they came to the yard, they could only see 3..... Pack predators are known to circle their prey while one or more distracts the prey.
Sidenote: american door knobs are supreme with these kinds of events, paws are not great for rotating knobs. European "press down and open sesame" handles don't require much intelligence or trial to open. Just hope you had time to lock the door after you.
Its not the dark you're afraid of. Its whats in the dark.
Clever girl...
@@_mdgamer4289 omfg fix your absolutely terrible spelling

yes
Same
It's a frequent comment.
Mr Ballen always delivers the goods. In story format, of course

This one was my first
The best one
CHRIS these stories freak me out. But I can’t stop watching
I've been watching your videos for a long time and never knew you were from this area!
I'm 1 hour north of Palmyra, ME and have a large piece of forested property. After the sun sets we do NOT go out on our trails because my family has had their own experiences.
Anything you can/want to share?
Also wolf-like creatures that stand on their hind legs?
It was a werewolf
@@alynaelder2186 absolutely no humanoid behaviour. Only moved around on all fours, stood only to get a better view/intimidate. It was an animal.
@@epmcgee could it be a bear or a werewolf

Bro for like 10 years this one episode has been in my mind and now i finally remember where I saw it from
Someone breaks into the house: Oh hello there.
Them: hey wait let me go get my guns from *THE FUCKING BARN* .
Hhaahahah legendarno
🤣🤣🤣
let me go get my guns
from THE FUCKING BARN .
lmao for real, aint right
If anything I would keep my guns under my bad or in a closet or if had a handgun I would keep it in a drawer, the last place I would put my guns would be *MY FUCKING BARN*
When I lived in the bush I had a 12 gauge Winchester Defender with an 18 inch barrel, a taclite on it, and 3 inch hi-shok slugs, say what you like but I'd rather have a gun and not need one than need a gun and not have one...
Dang right
Amen brother!
Frick yeah
When I lived in the bush I had... Mice.
My favourite episode
Watching at 2:20 am
Did anyone else have problems sleeping and spent the whole night on Mr Ballens
I saw this exact story on a TV show! I've never forgotten it.
