😂🤣😂🤣 😉Kind of sucks my Texas plates get's my truck searched for firearms *every single time* but still love my northern hardworking neighbors anyway. 😆👍
I'm planning on getting more flannels, once Walmart has them.. Got a new plaid shirt, but it isn't a flannel. I've got 2 flannels right now. Flanels are comfy.
Anyone else rewatching mr ballens old videos and coming across gems you had forgotten? Its so wonderful to see how far he has come since his first video and how much he has progressed. WE LOVE YOU MR BALLEN
The great thing about MrBallen telling stories is that it feels like some dude just telling you “this story they heard” while you’re hanging out. Something special about that.
Can you imagine being at a campground and sitting around a campfire telling ghost stories with him ? He has hundreds of true stories committed to memory. No one would dare go to sleep that night. At least "the hook on the door handle" at popular parking spots we all knew were fake stories.
oh my gay Lord!. this is a very scary story and its also an episode on the X-Files!! Nothing to fear agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully are on the case!
I love that you don't use that annoying and stressful background music like creepypasta and the others. What makes your stories scary is the fact that they are scary not the background music
@@shagrynpoiseen11 I can't lie it does the job, it makes the video scary but it stresses me out. I always find myself forced to stop listening to these for weeks to get rid of the side effects of the stress caused by that music.
I agree, he also delivers the story is a normal voice. He doesn't try to oversell any of it. I guess that's part of him being a Navy Seal, when they speak...you listen!!
Happened to me yesterday listening to songs from rappers who were unalived from the 1980s to present time. Suddenly sthg fell over, i was like hope that was one of the rappers.
@@absinthemindedJ When he says "gently assassinate the (subject)" I can't help but imagine an assassin trying to use a really soft pillow covered in a silk pillowcase to smother (the subject).
Seriously. I'll turn on a game, preferably something kind of scary or at least intense and have this playing on my phone, amps the mood quite a bit. Remember when we were all kids and we did everything we could not to be creeped out? Now I intentionally look for scary stories. lol
I cannot believe I am watching an episode from 3 yrs ago. John I am so happy for you and your family. As always thank you for your service and the strange dark and mysterious content.
"He had this morbid obsession with death and dying that he could never quite shake." Fans-of-the-strange,-dark-and-mysterious-delivered-in-story-format: *Sweats Nervously*
If you haven't already, check out some of his earlier episodes. He tells a story that's actually his own personal story of what seems to have been a paranormal encounter in his late teens while on a trip with some friends and one of their moms. He has a way of telling a story that just kind of makes you feel like you're there anyways. Being his own story, that feeling of being drawn into it was even more so. When you see a former navy seal is visibly shaken, even years after the fact, it added to the eerieness of it 10 fold. Definitely worth checking out. What really made it creepy to me is the way he seems to be pretty sceptical about the existence of ghosts and such in general, but still can't hide his unease with what he experienced.
I have to admit since i discovered this channel i skip netflix and other tv shows more and more. he's just an amazing storyteller. It feels good to use your own imagination again to create visual pictures.
I was literally looking for new content bc it feels as if I'm caught up with all my other channels and I stumbled across this channel.. hours and hours of content I've been listening for days
@@Mikeyjfox1 I lived in Richmond, south of town in the country, east of Eaton. Nice small town but the small town police force couldn't handle all the drug trafficking on 70. Then I moved to Carnel.
If I were him, and that family, I would have acquired more dogs! They know stuff that we can't see. I adopted a dog a few months ago from the pound that no one wanted, so he was on doggy death row. He was the most terrified creature I've ever seen, he broke my heart so I knew he had to come live with me. The folks at the shelter tried to warn me that he didn't "play well with others" and hated other dogs. He's a blue heeler, a breed I love, so I know that's not unusual for them. This dog has become my constant companion. He's at my side always when I'm working outside on the ranch, and he's very protective of our goats. He never barks, unless there's an intruder, then he does his "scary bark" that usually runs off whatever was lurking about. My nearest neighbor is more than a mile away, so this place is very remote and can be dangerous. I feel much more secure since adopting this "problem" doggy. He just needed the right home. I believe he would protect me with his very life, but I hope it never comes to that.
The abrupt ending to this story without any confirmation about what happened to the people, did they leave or stay, did they find more bones and so on has me on edge
I believe they leave. I saw the movie a long time ago. If I am correct there was at least one incident with one of new owner’s son in the pool. I think the house was sold shortly after that incident. I personally would not have bought the property knowing people were murdered there.
I teach ESL in Italy, and I've been sending my students to MrBallen's channel for quite some time... Not only are his style (storytelling/flannel shirt combo) and his stories absolutely riveting, but he also pronounces the words perfectly for foreigners to understand! The way he tells his stories at a speed that is easy to make out, plus the total absence of cuss words in his content, make this channel a favorite among my students, even the lower level ones!👍😁 Thanks a million, MrBallen!!!🙏 ---> from your #1 fan from Italy 😉
@@donnaclayton8644 thank you!!!😁 I love sharing my passion for languages with my students, so I'm always trying to find interesting and appropriate channels to recommend for their English listening practice...in this particular case, MrB is so awesome that I told all my English-speaking friends about his channel, too, and they got hooked just like me!😄 THANK YOU, MrBALLEN for all the hard work you do to research, rearrange info, and build a complete story in chronological order for us!!! I think many people do not realize/appreciate how much work putting a story together entails...🤷🏼♀️ Please keep up your awesome work, and I'll keep sharing it with as many people as possible in this country!😊👍
Great idea! I'm also a teacher, and in addition to appreciating his eloquence, I like the way he converts standard measurements to metric and defines words that other RUclipsrs may assume their audiences already know.
@@davidmillerization ikr? that is especially useful when my students are already struggling to understand what he's saying, and the conversion makes it easier to understand distance or weight, thus giving them a better mental image of how the story is unfolding... I'm just grateful that I was given this special bit of good luck in the midst of these harrowing times..."the storyteller who saved my Christmas" would be a correct statement in my case! 😉😁
Shoutout to MrBallen. The only person on youtube who's got me listening to 20+ minute stories. Dude has struck gold with his amazing stories, and he's got the talent to speak them where you've just got to know what happened. Much respect & thank you for your service.
When you're in spirit form it takes a very large amount of energy to move something, like a pen. Without physical form, it would take a large amount of energy to do anything - imagine attempting to move something with just your mind. Maybe a person with an automatic writing gift could be utilized by a spirit in the way you're suggesting.
It takes a lot of energy for them to move ANYTHING, even appear. They cannot eat or sleep, they must draw energy from their environment. Somethimes that means us, which is why we can feel cold in the area when they appear and why our hairs stand up. It's them using us as a battery to communicate.
@@Whoami691 Do you think individuals could communicate more efficiently if an energy source was provided i.e. a generator or fully charged car battery? Or is it more so a draw on living things? It would be interesting to see a paranormal investigator try to offer energy to allow for fluid and concrete communication.
@@jamesh9174 how do we know the serial killer wasn't a demon that took on human form and now he has his victims from the physical world in his demon domain (that house) for eternity?
In a separate dimension, a ghost is talking to his ghost family... “Yo this dumb dumb challenged me again!” “Honey, I told you to stop haunting those humans.”
It never ceases to amaze me that the people STAY IN THE HOUSE. You couldn’t get me within a few miles of that house after the first time Joe had the encounter with the man in the red shirt
Nevermind after the first encounter with red Tee guy, as soon as I hear the words 'murdered on property', I'm outta there. Same goes with a car, a piece of clothing or a piece of furniture. My husband's cousin had a near miss with a car accident a few years back. When he took some photos for the insurance, he could make out the fuzzy outlines of a man with a bald head and goatee, a woman with shoulder length dark hair and a little girl with dark hair that sat in the middle of the backseat, looking at him in the photo. He showed the photos to me, asked me what I saw without telling me anything beforehand. I told him I saw a man, woman and child, then went on to describe the same details listed above. He was so relieved, because he thought he had just imagined it. Skip ahead a few days, he came back to me to tell me that the silver BMW he had been driving in had previous owners. Guess who? A man with a bald head and goatee, a woman and a little girl, all of whom had died in that car in an accident at the same intersection he had been driving in on the exact same date and time he had been there. He had found an article about it. There's a reason that some cultures would burn the most priced possessions of the deceased and it's not to have an impressive bonfire at the funeral. But yeah, if something like that happened to me, I'd be out there faster than you can say "the Flash".
Houdini pretty much did all he could to debate this type of nonsense. Although I'm wondering why the nonsense is making me very afraid at 4am listening to these stories at 4am??? I'd be horrified and run right out of that house! Actually I'm not sure I'd have been able to move, I'd be frozen in terror!! His own personal ghost story is terrifying too.
Never thought I'd be a "stayer" but I did. Until my animals were targeted. My dog had a couch chair tipped on her and she had 4 seizures. I left and never another seizure.
OMG 😳 I’d be running outta that farmhouse faster than Usain bolt after the first haunting! I do enjoy the strange dark and mysterious but only in story format. Being there in person would be terrifying!!
@@gaelmichel9866 Cheap if you're in the market for a mansion I guess, LoL - 987,000 is cheap compared to 2.8 mil I guess 🤷♀️ He didn't mention the price in this I don't think, but I just looked up how much it sold for so I guess not that cheap for peasants like myself 🤣
This farm is right down the street from my house. The current owners have sold off some of the front acreage and houses are being built; we all keep waiting for more bodies to pop up.
That’s too bad I kind of wish they would keep stuff like this around, Ik important people want to erase it and profit off the land or whatever but I think it’s important to preserve this kind of history
I’m not sure the vacuum cord flying out of the wall was paranormal. I’m really hoping it may have been an electrical issue because this has happened to me before! My cord had come out twice and I thought I was doing it so I watched it the third time and actually witnessed the cord shoot out of the socket. My husband saw it too. He just laughed and said it was me. Lightbulbs tend to burn out whenever I switch them on too.
When you scroll down to the comments to see others' theories on what was going on in that murder funhouse, but all you can see are comments on how everyone loves John and his storytelling, it really says something. So uplifting to see so much appreciation and love for the channel and Mr. Ballen, absolutely deserved. (Still waiting for those theories, though!)
Has no one considered that Herb did kill a married man, they just haven't found the body yet? It is quite plausible, especially if he was in the closet.
I came to the same conclusion. If I owned that place, I imagine I would do everything I could to try and identify any unknown victims. Or at least I want to think that is what I'd do.
As far as the bone being newly discovered, it could be due to heavy rain. I always find broken pieces of ceramic and pottery in my pasture after it rains. Also gophers pushing and tunneling the dirt brings up a lot of stuff.
The street I used to live in was called whiskey hollow rd and it was pitch black at nights and there were 7 houses in the street but only 4 actually had people in em cause the other moved away cause they said that there was this horrifying feel at night and we moved when my dad actually saw a man by the creek right in front of my house and my dad drove off but the man was actually following the car but he wasn’t running my dad said he was actually taller than the truck and seemed to be floating so we move a week later and now everything feels normal
So very true! My husband had an accident at work and the property was something like berry patch hollow farms or something like that.Creepier now that I'm freaking out and paranoid
Storytelling is an art, and you're an amazing artist! I love your content! No agenda, no opinions, just a good story. It's hard to find something peaceful like that on the internet anymore.
My Granpa was a master storyteller, he was a Nobleman in A TRUE SENSE but also with some insignificant title he never used but basically a fisherman and a peasant! But still heavily persecuted by communists so he had his own bag full of horrors throughout his life to carry and so he cautiously told it to me as a "spooky story" whose meaning I would understand one day! When he was terminally ill he was writing a notebook hinting what meant what! Reading those notebooks really saddened me, brought me back to my childhood and hardened my heart towards the Reds and all the strains of that disease once and for all! Not only did it bring me back to childhood but helped me to give 1000% of myself in the battle against the Big Red Dragon here in the next most brutal conflict in Europe after WW2 in the 90s! Mr.Ballen is an awesome guy and his storytelling reminds me a bit of that time when pure evil was walking all around you but you felt safe!
I found your channel about 2 weeks ago. Needless to say, my wife and I got hooked. Thought you might like to know that my wife loved your intro. She liked your body language into that. When you are explaining, the way you bow lower your head to the right and sweep your arms opened. She’s in! Frankly when I looked back I was drawn in too! The story’s alone are great. The motion draws in people. I told a few friends to watch and they agree. I’ll keep that in mind as I started a u-tube channel about drone flying. All and all great job and we wish to and your family all the best!
Lol! I'm still willing to go camping once in a while, scuba diving is out though, I'm terrified of whatever might be in the water, plus being totally submerged makes me incredibly uncomfortable.
These stories usually don't scare me but OMG this one had me looking over my shoulder, I love it!! You're great at storytelling! I am also listening to this while I work and popped up the video just to take a look for a moment RIGHT at 12:42 and just about had a heart attack 😂 I was already creeped out and that just spooked me further!!
That’s what I thought too! Seen as some haven’t been identified yet! Even if it’s all bullshit, that house would feel creepy as hell knowing a load of people were murdered there 😭😭💔
@Davin Bowyer Tapes aren't magic. It is just magenetic data storage. To suggest that can't be manipulated is a bit of a stretch. And of course you are not going to get anomalies in a studio. A studio is basically an audio lab designed to prevent exactly that. To suggest we understand everything in the universe and making blanket statements about such is also a stretch. Not to mention the laws of physics tell us things don't just stop at biological death. Everything that made us a person goes somewhere. It doesn't just vanish from existence.
This is the story that had me hooked to Mr Ballen's story telling abilities. So glad I got to listen to it again. I don't think you even had two million subscribers at that stage, look at you now . Fantastic job Mr Ballen, you helped get through my cancer treatment 🎉... Thank you & team...😊
I wonder why I listen to these in the middle of the night when everyone is asleep. Twice now the freezer has kicked on and I've almost jerked the headphones off my head trying to run away from whatever is going to get me. Also had a complete panic moment when the cat brushed against my leg.
I get terrified when the adverts come on in middle of the video or when my dog moves it made me sick to my stomach once and said I'm not watching anymore but then go on his channel and look for videos I haven't seen yet 🤨
One of his stories made me immediately throw up, it was that bad. It was the one about the 15 year old hitchhiking home. I love his stories and he did warn us but I listened anyway. I get it is scary and this one gave me the cold chills.
Omg, I can relate. Watch Ballen’s video that is his one and only true account of a paranormal incident that happened to him. It seriously freaked me out to the point where I couldn’t fall asleep for about 2 hours.
The most unbelievable part of the story is that Joe continued to stay there in the apartment on the property after all of this started happening. I hope the owners gave him a deep discount on rent. 👻 💵 🕵🏻♂️
Does anyone ever appreciate the choice flannels Mr. Ballen wears? I think to myself for the first 10 seconds of his videos... Damn, that's a nice flannel.
I just realized I practically run through this home’s backyard on one of my courses. There is a bike path that goes right behind it. I have ran that course all hours of the night by myself. I may run it again soon and see if anything happens. Probably a good thing I didn’t start running that trail until about 2020.
Who else is here because they've binged all of Mr Ballen's videos and are stuck watching older uploads regardless of the fact that he uploads strange, dark, and mysterious videos 2-3 times a week
It’s me I’m here cause of this reason ! I watch all of his videos immediately, so now I am trynna find videos I haven’t seen (which isn’t many if at all) lol
I don't think so ,because the killer did leave a note that he commit suicide because of his fail marriage!!! Then the spirit did play with knives!!! And pointing to the place where joe sit & doing his work!!!
Serial killers usually have patterns, if most of his victims were single then we might have to assume he had some sick thing for killing single dudes .
I met him at the store he owned and shook hands with him. After what I experienced at that moment of touching him I never went back. When it came out about what he had done my husband and I knew that from then on we would trust my instincts and insight I got from people.
I’m nearly 60 with health and knee problems. I decided to try to walk a mile on the treadmill. That’s huge for me but I can’t take meds for pain soooo…I put this on with me ear pods and boom a mile in less than 30 minutes. I know most are like ummmm I can do atleast 5 miles an hr. I get it. But I can’t. I somedays can barely walk. You helped the time go so fast and kept my mind off of my discomfort and kept me going. So much better for me then music. I think I can do half an hr twice a day and maybe soon I can do 2 miles in half an hr! Thank you Mr Ballen!
Libby, it’s amazing what you achieved! It’s always a matter of finding whatever inspires you to do it. Hope your health improves with those walks and that you’re always blessed.
"The married one" may not be the killer, it could be another victim that was never found. By identifying himself as "the married one", he may have been trying to tell them that his case hasn't been solved and that's why his "ghost" is stuck there.
Yeah definitely. The other thought I had is that HB called himself the married one - because he thinks of himself as another victim. You know what I mean? Like malignant narcissists tend to do. Or on the paranormal tip, maybe he was possessed, or believed he was. Schizophrenia doesn’t make anyone violent - people who have it are LESS violent than the general population - but I wonder if it played a role in herb’s murders.
Right at the audio recording where he asks "is there anyone in the kitchen?" An ad popped up: "ITS LITTLE CESAR'S PIZZA!" and I bust out laughing and I probably shouldnt have 😂 Edit: HOLY MOLEY CRAPOLEY! This is the most likes I've ever gotten!!!! I didnt think this would get any attention at all! Thank y'all so much!!!! It really means a lot! 🥰
I actually lived in this nice apartment which had a great price compared to others in the area. I jokingly said to the realter "ok we'll rent it but did anyone die in this apartment? be honest" and we both just laughed, he said no and we signed the contract. Then, at night the apartment's piano (which was already there) started playing itself.
I used to be real estate agent and honestly, I would like to see the realtor that managed to sell serial killers house. That must be some propper sale skills.
I was born and raised about an hour and half from Fox Hollow. This whole story is true and well known around that area. It is truly a creepy ass place! Great to hear the story, well done.
My SIL married a man from Oaxaca, Mexico. The village they are from has apparitions appear frequently. I have my own theory on it, but that is for another discussion. The point is that this man's father goes up to these apparitions when they appear and demands they leave. He says you have to show no fear and be very adamant, even forceful in your demands or they will not leave. One man had saved a bunch of money in a tin box and buried it. He died suddenly, and his wife and children ended up in extreme poverty because she did not know where the money was hidden. An apparition of the husband appeared frequently and roamed the hills at night. This father decided to confront it as all of the townspeople were dreadfully frightened by it. He drank a little to give himself courage and confronted the spirit. It told him it could not go because of the missing money that was needed for its family. He told it that if it would tell him where it was, he would give the widow all the money and the spirit HAD to leave. The apparition finally told him. He found the money, returned it all to the widow, and the apparition never came back.
This house is literally a rock's throw from mine! There had been bodies found in our area before this was discovered. I remember the wife being on Oprah show saying she didn't know he was gay,right!
@@masonvaldivia4472 that dude that killed everyone looks really weird I wouldn’t wanna hangout with him if he had a swimming pool or money to give me 😂😂😂
Am hearing this on headphone while cooking dinner... I go to the toilet and take a piss, watching out of my bathroom window and my neighbor walks past with a red jacket on Almost gave me a heart attack ngl
Its EVERY DAY BOYS AND GIRLS!! The best most humble and dedicated youtuber goes to this handsome, whole hearted SOLDIER, right here. Thank You, Thank You.
MrBallen No! its our turn to say thank Youu, for your brave and patriotic service! You volunteered your life for every AMERICAN, watching this video, so thank you! And Thank You for your time you put into each and every video just for our entertainment! So thank you! Most humble, bravest, hard working soldier on RUclips and i cant thank you enough :,)
Actually bewhhy Mr. Ballen is not a soldier. He is a NAVY SEAL, huge difference. I'm sure Mr. Ballen would appreciate this correction. By the way John you are friggin awesome. Thanks for your service.
His children must love story time with dad. Seriously fun! He should like let people rent him to tell camp fire stories. Big groups they pay for him and family to stay in a nice cabin and at night around a camp fire he tells stories be super fun!
The old tv series “A Haunting” did an episode on the haunting of Fox Hollow Farm, more creepy and scary things happened to the new owners and you get a lot more of the details .
You should watch interviews with the Killer's wife. She describes their life together. Their long marriage. She did not know. There's even video clips of Christmas with his family. That's the fascinating part.
Story well told as always. As for the reality of it, almost everywhere somebody died and the whole world should have been haunted if this is how it goes.
It's not often you hear of people reacting like this to a haunting. Trying to figure who they are, and help them get closure. How wonderful is that. As always John, you had my total attention while telling this story. I could visualize everything through your word. Awesome!
Definitely a haunting... these are the ones that wouldn't bother me as much after awhile though. At least in this case they knew why and they knew it was all human spirits. No one got physically attacked, only freaked out. At least it's not a full blown demon or something like in the story about the NASA engineer.
I don’t think it was Herb. Someone mentioned above the possibility that it could have been a married man who was in the closet and had just not been discovered yet. Herb wouldn’t be at his farm anyway, right? Because that’s not where he killed himself...
@@lorirunion8196 you do know that spirits are not always automatically trapped in the place they die, right? In fact, it depends on several factors as many go back to the place during life that they would rather be most after dying.
Rob: “well we moved into a serial killers house so we’re just going to have to get used to…” Me: a shit ton of trapped spirits obviously Rob: “people spying on us” Me: oh…
I was thinking the exact same thing 😂 that’s where i tonight it was going then he said people wanting to see it and just like “oh, well yeah I guess that makes sense too but also no...it’s ghosts.”
Imagine being lured and then your life is snuffed out .. and if that isn’t bad enough, you’re stuck with your killer in the afterlife. Hopefully the victims can eventually Rest In Peace ❤️
@@sophiagrace8362that's kind of rude, don't ya think ? What if it's just a friendly spirit of someone who lived there & just doesn't want to leave ? And SOME things won't just "go away" simply because you burn some sage.. sometimes you'll just make things worse
Love the way that this guy really has his details and the way that the people in these situations stop on …. Literally I don’t think anyone can do this the way that he does. He’s the goat of storytelling…. Imagine being at a fire in woods telling scary stories/tales.
You are an EXCEPTIONAL story teller. I absolutely love your channel and you, your videos bring me a lot of joy as weird as that is. I really look forward to popping in my headphones and listening to you :)
I'm a paranormal investigator of 8 years and my team and I spent 4 days at Fox Hollow Farm a couple of years ago, courtesy of the gracious new owners Rob and Vicki. I've investigated at locations all over the US, including locations related to other serial killers like John Wayne Gacy, but this was by far the most fascinating! The evidence we caught was incredible. One of the most interesting aspects of the experience was that we got to work directly with one of Herb's former lovers (the "one who got away") who interacted with us throughout our stay and shared detailed information regarding their ongoing relationship, which was occurring at the same time Herb was killing his victims. Some of his stories about the killer were quite... interesting, as I'm sure you can imagine. We also met and investigated with the former tenant of the carriage house, Joe LeBlanc. I can't even begin to tell you what an amazing experience it all was. I'll never forget it. One EVP we caught while digging in the forest (where there are still unclaimed remains) was especially chill inducing. The owners are still finding victims' bones on occasion, even all these years later, and the strange paranormal activity has become a somewhat common occurrence for them. They did a "Haunted Case Files" episode about my team's first investigation there (I wasn't present for that one), but I've been interviewed on a paranormal podcast about our experiences during the 2018 trip. If anyone would like more info I'll post the links. To say it's a fascinating place would be an understatement. Spirits definitely still reside there and I hope in time they find peace.
Hey guys! Sorry for the delay, just now saw these replies. My team (Boulder County Paranormal Research Society -- BCPRS) has done two investigations of Fox Hollow. I was present for the 2nd one in 2018, but The Haunted Case Files episode covers my teammates' 1st investigation there (I'll link that below). We've been on a few other episodes for various investigations, but honestly the show takes a lot of creative liberties and makes it a bit cheesy, which I'm not a big fan of lol. So if you want more in-depth details on the crazy things we experienced on that 2nd trip, here is my two part interview on the show "Paranormal Round Table" (episodes 28 & 29). Part 1: ruclips.net/video/NU2uRXYY6ac/видео.html Part 2: ruclips.net/video/UFlS3nIqvnk/видео.html (this one is where it gets more interesting) PS -- Toward the end of episode 29 (part 2) I also discuss a horrifying personal encounter that my ex and I had one night in 2014 with a creature we can't explain. But the rest of the interview is all about Fox Hollow. And here is the Haunted Case Files episode. Again, I'm not featured in this particular one, but a couple of my teammates are. *Fast forward to the **13:20** mark for the right segment:* ruclips.net/video/8iBxYhnJhvc/видео.html On a side note, our team leader (Richard Estep) is a prolific author and has a great book out about Fox Hollow. He's appeared on a plethora of shows like Paranormal 911, Haunted Hospitals, HCF, Coast-to-Coast AM, and others. He's been doing this for 20+ years at locations all over the world, so he's got some truly great stories if you're looking for new paranormal topics to binge. 😉 Here's his website: www.richardestep.net/ Cheers! 🙏
These stories you find are just ~ *chefs kiss* ~ so good. Bellisimo!! Absolutely love it. Idk how you’ve become so talented at story telling, but I truly enjoy every single one you’ve told. Such a great skill to have, too.
Omg 😱 so true MR ballen is the best at telling stories can u imagine when MR ballen becomes a grandfather telling his grandkids stories OMG 😱 the coolest

Horror writers everywhere should snap his services up for audio book recordings.

Yes we can😁👍
Anyone else rewatching mr ballens old videos and coming across gems you had forgotten? Its so wonderful to see how far he has come since his first video and how much he has progressed. WE LOVE YOU MR BALLEN
This was one of the best, back when he told more ghost stories.
Just rewatched this one!! Chills all over again at the end 😂🤷🏾♀️💜🫡
Yes, re-watching again.. still I have the same reaction as I did when I first watched it. I still hang on every word. It’s still it’s scares me.
I like his older videos much more. Wish i could go back to when i first found him on TikTok, and he went to youtube
Meee!
The great thing about MrBallen telling stories is that it feels like some dude just telling you “this story they heard” while you’re hanging out. Something special about that.
Can you imagine being at a campground and sitting around a campfire telling ghost stories with him ? He has hundreds of true stories committed to memory. No one would dare go to sleep that night. At least "the hook on the door handle" at popular parking spots we all knew were fake stories.
I like his story telling, he really makes you think it’s just the two of you talking plus hes good looking lol 😂
He would make a great friend.
I am hooked. If he ever quits I’m going to cry. Not literally but his videos are amazing.
He was in the military, Stories are like art in the military
I like this kind of story telling it doesn't sound scripted and it sounds like a story someone would tell at the campfire for a scary story
That's exactly how I feel.. he sounds like he really memorizes the stories
@@txtamaman true he's a very good story teller
oh my gay Lord!. this is a very scary story and its also an episode on the X-Files!! Nothing to fear agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully are on the case!
Sad it's not a story...
Not a story this really happened.
I love that you don't use that annoying and stressful background music like creepypasta and the others. What makes your stories scary is the fact that they are scary not the background music
Agreed! That music is like a laugh track on a sitcom. It's unnecessary if you can tell the story right
@@shagrynpoiseen11 I can't lie it does the job, it makes the video scary but it stresses me out. I always find myself forced to stop listening to these for weeks to get rid of the side effects of the stress caused by that music.
Yesssssssssssss! Say it louder for the ones in the back!
Me too!
I agree, he also delivers the story is a normal voice. He doesn't try to oversell any of it.
I guess that's part of him being a Navy Seal, when they speak...you listen!!
I was at 20:27 brushing my teeth in the bathroom. My dishes shifted in the dish rack in my kitchen. I jumped so high! Lol
LMAOOOO
Oh dang. Nothing like a mini heart attack before bed. 😅
Happened to me yesterday listening to songs from rappers who were unalived from the 1980s to present time. Suddenly sthg fell over, i was like hope that was one of the rappers.
😂 I would have too! And I would also be moving out of that house!
I'm convinced that place is haunted by him and his victims , and I would be moving tootsweet! 😂
Joe be a real one to chase after his dog though he was terrified as hell
Hell yeah he did.
So would I🤎
I’d chase my dog before I’d chase anyone else

Seriously.
I'll turn on a game, preferably something kind of scary or at least intense and have this playing on my phone, amps the mood quite a bit.
Remember when we were all kids and we did everything we could not to be creeped out? Now I intentionally look for scary stories.
lol
@candowithoutthedrama you would think so right? But nope lol they go ghost hunting instead 🙄🙄🙄🙄👻👻👻👻👻😂😂😂😂😂
Same here. I usually zone out a few times when listening to stories, but he has me riveted throughout.
I cannot believe I am watching an episode from 3 yrs ago. John I am so happy for you and your family. As always thank you for your service and the strange dark and mysterious content.
Same here
Meeee tooooooo
Great story!
"He had this morbid obsession with death and dying that he could never quite shake." Fans-of-the-strange,-dark-and-mysterious-delivered-in-story-format: *Sweats Nervously*
Omg true! Very great point actually.
Yeah, I was getting scared of myself when he went on to describe how he was a psychopath that killed more than a dozen people on his property
I literally laughed out loud when I read this 😂
Me 😭😭
🤣😂😆🤣🤣😆😂😆😆......😬
is it just me or does anyone else feel like they’re in the story when mr.ballen tells it??
Totally!
Perfect!
Same bro
He is great at painting the story and makes it unsettling good job dude
Same. Always felt like this back when he was only on TikTok. So glad he expanded to RUclips. 👍🏻
It’s horrifying to think that their sons swimmed in the same pool where multiple brutal murders had taken place
What guys name seriel killer
Swam?
Nora Abdulla herb baumeister
Swimmed??? Really???
It's h to think that b their sons swiwimmed in the same pool where multiple brutal murdes had taken place
When the knocker was perpendicular to the floor like someone was still holding it I got chills. Such great story telling
If you haven't already, check out some of his earlier episodes. He tells a story that's actually his own personal story of what seems to have been a paranormal encounter in his late teens while on a trip with some friends and one of their moms. He has a way of telling a story that just kind of makes you feel like you're there anyways. Being his own story, that feeling of being drawn into it was even more so. When you see a former navy seal is visibly shaken, even years after the fact, it added to the eerieness of it 10 fold. Definitely worth checking out. What really made it creepy to me is the way he seems to be pretty sceptical about the existence of ghosts and such in general, but still can't hide his unease with what he experienced.
@@chrischeetham1652 one of my favorite videos, I hope one day he shares more personal experiences of the paranormal if he has any more
I thought it may need a little oil.
@@chrischeetham1652 what's the video called
Same here LOL That particular event got to me.
I have to admit since i discovered this channel i skip netflix and other tv shows more and more. he's just an amazing storyteller. It feels good to use your own imagination again to create visual pictures.
same!
I go to sleep with it ☺️
Absolutely
I was literally looking for new content bc it feels as if I'm caught up with all my other channels and I stumbled across this channel.. hours and hours of content I've been listening for days
I have no desire to even watch TV. Nothing compares to listening to his channel.
All the while the dude is like damn that 1 hour drive wasn’t so bad.
Probable thinking...I can run it on foot in 30 minutes now....lol
It's ironic for me because I live exactly an hour from the house lol I'm in Richmond Indiana and this is in Carmel indiana
@@Mikeyjfox1 small world, I lived in Westfield my Jr and Sr year lol
@@Mikeyjfox1 I lived in Richmond, south of town in the country, east of Eaton. Nice small town but the small town police force couldn't handle all the drug trafficking on 70. Then I moved to Carnel.
If I were him, and that family, I would have acquired more dogs! They know stuff that we can't see.
I adopted a dog a few months ago from the pound that no one wanted, so he was on doggy death row. He was the most terrified creature I've ever seen, he broke my heart so I knew he had to come live with me. The folks at the shelter tried to warn me that he didn't "play well with others" and hated other dogs. He's a blue heeler, a breed I love, so I know that's not unusual for them.
This dog has become my constant companion. He's at my side always when I'm working outside on the ranch, and he's very protective of our goats. He never barks, unless there's an intruder, then he does his "scary bark" that usually runs off whatever was lurking about. My nearest neighbor is more than a mile away, so this place is very remote and can be dangerous.
I feel much more secure since adopting this "problem" doggy. He just needed the right home. I believe he would protect me with his very life, but I hope it never comes to that.
Bit rude of the ghosts too annoy the new owners,they didn’t do it. Poor ghost etiquette in my opinion.
😆
indeed
Very sassy ghosts.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂
The abrupt ending to this story without any confirmation about what happened to the people, did they leave or stay, did they find more bones and so on has me on edge
I believe they leave. I saw the movie a long time ago. If I am correct there was at least one incident with one of new owner’s son in the pool. I think the house was sold shortly after that incident. I personally would not have bought the property knowing people were murdered there.
I teach ESL in Italy, and I've been sending my students to MrBallen's channel for quite some time... Not only are his style (storytelling/flannel shirt combo) and his stories absolutely riveting, but he also pronounces the words perfectly for foreigners to understand! The way he tells his stories at a speed that is easy to make out, plus the total absence of cuss words in his content, make this channel a favorite among my students, even the lower level ones!👍😁 Thanks a million, MrBallen!!!🙏 ---> from your #1 fan from Italy 😉
How cool!
@@donnaclayton8644 thank you!!!😁 I love sharing my passion for languages with my students, so I'm always trying to find interesting and appropriate channels to recommend for their English listening practice...in this particular case, MrB is so awesome that I told all my English-speaking friends about his channel, too, and they got hooked just like me!😄 THANK YOU, MrBALLEN for all the hard work you do to research, rearrange info, and build a complete story in chronological order for us!!! I think many people do not realize/appreciate how much work putting a story together entails...🤷🏼♀️ Please keep up your awesome work, and I'll keep sharing it with as many people as possible in this country!😊👍
oh no his grammar is sometimes terrible, does not conjugate verbs correctly uses like as some use uh and um.
Great idea! I'm also a teacher, and in addition to appreciating his eloquence, I like the way he converts standard measurements to metric and defines words that other RUclipsrs may assume their audiences already know.
@@davidmillerization ikr? that is especially useful when my students are already struggling to understand what he's saying, and the conversion makes it easier to understand distance or weight, thus giving them a better mental image of how the story is unfolding... I'm just grateful that I was given this special bit of good luck in the midst of these harrowing times..."the storyteller who saved my Christmas" would be a correct statement in my case! 😉😁
Imagine being a ghost. "Hey can you come find my body? It's over here"
Everyone: "AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH"
🤣
Ikr it would suck
yeah, it's like they just want to be found. Have their remains found so they can have some closure and move on.
I'd help. Its not that scary....help with Love
Then the ghost is like, "I'm the killer btw lol"
Shoutout to MrBallen.
The only person on youtube who's got me listening to 20+ minute stories.
Dude has struck gold with his amazing stories, and he's got the talent to speak them where you've just got to know what happened.
Much respect & thank you for your service.
For real bro
For real
it's not just a listening to a story. It's an experience
usually i'm not a fan of stories but the real pictures and video clips got me hookes and yes, not many people on youtube can narrate that good
Totally agree!!!!!
It always baffles me, that ghosts can apparently only vaguely communicate with people. Like, grab a pen and paper and WRITE it out for me, please lol.
Right? Lol
Ikr? Just use w o r d s
When you're in spirit form it takes a very large amount of energy to move something, like a pen.
Without physical form, it would take a large amount of energy to do anything - imagine attempting to move something with just your mind. Maybe a person with an automatic writing gift could be utilized by a spirit in the way you're suggesting.
It takes a lot of energy for them to move ANYTHING, even appear. They cannot eat or sleep, they must draw energy from their environment. Somethimes that means us, which is why we can feel cold in the area when they appear and why our hairs stand up. It's them using us as a battery to communicate.
@@Whoami691 Do you think individuals could communicate more efficiently if an energy source was provided i.e. a generator or fully charged car battery? Or is it more so a draw on living things? It would be interesting to see a paranormal investigator try to offer energy to allow for fluid and concrete communication.
Imagine being murdered and then stuck with your killer in the afterlife... kinda sucks
That's not what's happening here.... these are just demons playing with people
Literally a fate worse than death.
You can play table soccer with your murderer in the afterlife
@@jamesh9174 how do we know the serial killer wasn't a demon that took on human form and now he has his victims from the physical world in his demon domain (that house) for eternity?
It would be awful if they were still running from him in terror in the afterlife.
Anyone ever think "nah, that's not that scary" but then suddenly worry that the ghosts are gonna take that as a challenge?
yes
In a separate dimension, a ghost is talking to his ghost family...
“Yo this dumb dumb challenged me again!”
“Honey, I told you to stop haunting those humans.”
lol
Ghost sitting in his chair: “...And I took that personally”
Oh, absolutely.
BRING IT ON!!! I'm tired of this world!
It never ceases to amaze me that the people STAY IN THE HOUSE. You couldn’t get me within a few miles of that house after the first time Joe had the encounter with the man in the red shirt
The conjuring house is still inhabited too
Exactly! I would have been like bye 👋 real fast.
Nevermind after the first encounter with red Tee guy, as soon as I hear the words 'murdered on property', I'm outta there.
Same goes with a car, a piece of clothing or a piece of furniture.
My husband's cousin had a near miss with a car accident a few years back. When he took some photos for the insurance, he could make out the fuzzy outlines of a man with a bald head and goatee, a woman with shoulder length dark hair and a little girl with dark hair that sat in the middle of the backseat, looking at him in the photo.
He showed the photos to me, asked me what I saw without telling me anything beforehand. I told him I saw a man, woman and child, then went on to describe the same details listed above.
He was so relieved, because he thought he had just imagined it.
Skip ahead a few days, he came back to me to tell me that the silver BMW he had been driving in had previous owners. Guess who?
A man with a bald head and goatee, a woman and a little girl, all of whom had died in that car in an accident at the same intersection he had been driving in on the exact same date and time he had been there. He had found an article about it.
There's a reason that some cultures would burn the most priced possessions of the deceased and it's not to have an impressive bonfire at the funeral.
But yeah, if something like that happened to me, I'd be out there faster than you can say "the Flash".
Houdini pretty much did all he could to debate this type of nonsense. Although I'm wondering why the nonsense is making me very afraid at 4am listening to these stories at 4am??? I'd be horrified and run right out of that house! Actually I'm not sure I'd have been able to move, I'd be frozen in terror!! His own personal ghost story is terrifying too.
Never thought I'd be a "stayer" but I did. Until my animals were targeted.
My dog had a couch chair tipped on her and she had 4 seizures.
I left and never another seizure.
OMG 😳 I’d be running outta that farmhouse faster than Usain bolt after the first haunting! I do enjoy the strange dark and mysterious but only in story format. Being there in person would be terrifying!!
Me and my dog would be out and camping tbh
Update on if they still live there.
Ok, seriously, I'm a massive true crime junkie, and Mr. Ballen somehow finds cases I haven't heard of. LOVE IT
I agree. I love this guy. Before I Never listened to anyone tell “what happened “. Just watched them. I’m intrigued!!😙😎😉😊
You could be right? I don't watch TV. Only U tube . I have seen multiple videos about Fox Hollow murders and the subsequent hauntings
Agreed
He takes a lot from paranormal witness show and a lot of forensic files

“Dont buy this serial killers mansion” i cant even buy an apartment
It’s really cheap because of all the people that were killed there no one wants to live in a house were that shot happens

I can't even buy anything from their garage sales..
This farm is right down the street from my house. The current owners have sold off some of the front acreage and houses are being built; we all keep waiting for more bodies to pop up.

Agreed. When he stopped and asked what we were thinking, I was like ...um NO there is no way that is the end of this story lol
Exactly there definitely is more to this story and we want to hear about it! 🤔
I was thinking the same thing! I did not expect the story to end there!
read somewhere that they moved out and some investigator teams live there week in, week out
The scariest part of the story:
using a vacuum to clean up gravel!
Hahaha
🤣
Hoping it was a shop vac.
not only that but she is using a plugged in vacuum to clean a POOL
I’m not sure the vacuum cord flying out of the wall was paranormal. I’m really hoping it may have been an electrical issue because this has happened to me before! My cord had come out twice and I thought I was doing it so I watched it the third time and actually witnessed the cord shoot out of the socket. My husband saw it too. He just laughed and said it was me. Lightbulbs tend to burn out whenever I switch them on too.
Homeowner: "Is anyone here?"
Ghost: "no"

When you scroll down to the comments to see others' theories on what was going on in that murder funhouse, but all you can see are comments on how everyone loves John and his storytelling, it really says something. So uplifting to see so much appreciation and love for the channel and Mr. Ballen, absolutely deserved.
(Still waiting for those theories, though!)
Don’t hold your breath. There are never many theories offered by viewers. Just the usual, banal rubbish you see here.

Has no one considered that Herb did kill a married man, they just haven't found the body yet? It is quite plausible, especially if he was in the closet.
Tiger kitten, that's an excellent point. There were so many victims, how do we know that they were all single men?
Excellent point
I came to the same conclusion. If I owned that place, I imagine I would do everything I could to try and identify any unknown victims. Or at least I want to think that is what I'd do.

As far as the bone being newly discovered, it could be due to heavy rain. I always find broken pieces of ceramic and pottery in my pasture after it rains. Also gophers pushing and tunneling the dirt brings up a lot of stuff.
It was a whole leg bone, laying on the trail. Why don't they get a cadaver dog out there?
If movies have taught me anything; never, EVER, buy property with "hollow" in the name.
The street I used to live in was called whiskey hollow rd and it was pitch black at nights and there were 7 houses in the street but only 4 actually had people in em cause the other moved away cause they said that there was this horrifying feel at night and we moved when my dad actually saw a man by the creek right in front of my house and my dad drove off but the man was actually following the car but he wasn’t running my dad said he was actually taller than the truck and seemed to be floating so we move a week later and now everything feels normal
So very true! My husband had an accident at work and the property was something like berry patch hollow farms or something like that.Creepier now that I'm freaking out and paranoid
Or the word “Farm” in the name. Like the movie “Crowhaven Farm” (and no, it’s not available on dvd or Netflix).
Or never by a body dumping serial killers property lol
Like why didn't the investor just change the name before they tried to sell it.
Storytelling is an art, and you're an amazing artist! I love your content! No agenda, no opinions, just a good story. It's hard to find something peaceful like that on the internet anymore.
My Granpa was a master storyteller, he was a Nobleman in A TRUE SENSE but also with some insignificant title he never used but basically a fisherman and a peasant! But still heavily persecuted by communists so he had his own bag full of horrors throughout his life to carry and so he cautiously told it to me as a "spooky story" whose meaning I would understand one day! When he was terminally ill he was writing a notebook hinting what meant what! Reading those notebooks really saddened me, brought me back to my childhood and hardened my heart towards the Reds and all the strains of that disease once and for all! Not only did it bring me back to childhood but helped me to give 1000% of myself in the battle against the Big Red Dragon here in the next most brutal conflict in Europe after WW2 in the 90s!
Mr.Ballen is an awesome guy and his storytelling reminds me a bit of that time when pure evil was walking all around you but you felt safe!

When you are explaining, the way you bow lower your head to the right and sweep your arms opened. She’s in! Frankly when I looked back I was drawn in too! The story’s alone are great. The motion draws in people. I told a few friends to watch and they agree. I’ll keep that in mind as I started a u-tube channel about drone flying. All and all great job and we wish to and your family all the best!
One thing I've learned from all these haunting stories, is that you NEVER buy property that is below market value.
OR go camping or scuba diving lol
Lol! I'm still willing to go camping once in a while, scuba diving is out though, I'm terrified of whatever might be in the water, plus being totally submerged makes me incredibly uncomfortable.

Yeah I still would
They give super cheep rent in Japan for sucide apartments.
Herb is still chasing his victims, even after death. Perhaps that’s why that one ghost was screaming and running.

@Davin Bowyer Tapes aren't magic. It is just magenetic data storage. To suggest that can't be manipulated is a bit of a stretch. And of course you are not going to get anomalies in a studio. A studio is basically an audio lab designed to prevent exactly that. To suggest we understand everything in the universe and making blanket statements about such is also a stretch. Not to mention the laws of physics tell us things don't just stop at biological death. Everything that made us a person goes somewhere. It doesn't just vanish from existence.

Fantastic job Mr Ballen, you helped get through my cancer treatment 🎉...
Thank you & team...😊
I wonder why I listen to these in the middle of the night when everyone is asleep. Twice now the freezer has kicked on and I've almost jerked the headphones off my head trying to run away from whatever is going to get me. Also had a complete panic moment when the cat brushed against my leg.
I'm laughing picturing that.. 🤣🤣🤣
I get terrified when the adverts come on in middle of the video or when my dog moves it made me sick to my stomach once and said I'm not watching anymore but then go on his channel and look for videos I haven't seen yet 🤨
One of his stories made me immediately throw up, it was that bad. It was the one about the 15 year old hitchhiking home. I love his stories and he did warn us but I listened anyway. I get it is scary and this one gave me the cold chills.
@@jmiller7471 what's the title do you remember? It must have been crazy for u to throw up
Omg, I can relate. Watch Ballen’s video that is his one and only true account of a paranormal incident that happened to him. It seriously freaked me out to the point where I couldn’t fall asleep for about 2 hours.
The most unbelievable part of the story is that Joe continued to stay there in the apartment on the property after all of this started happening. I hope the owners gave him a deep discount on rent. 👻 💵 🕵🏻♂️
I know, I would have wanted him there just for safety in numbers.
He left after the record in his phone
And he kept taking walks alone!
Does anyone ever appreciate the choice flannels Mr. Ballen wears? I think to myself for the first 10 seconds of his videos... Damn, that's a nice flannel.
😂 Me!
no
Yup I love the flannels as well
I'm loving his flannel shirt choices.
And he coordinates his hats to harmonize with the shirts. Well done!🙂
I just realized I practically run through this home’s backyard on one of my courses. There is a bike path that goes right behind it. I have ran that course all hours of the night by myself. I may run it again soon and see if anything happens.
Probably a good thing I didn’t start running that trail until about 2020.
Who else is here because they've binged all of Mr Ballen's videos and are stuck watching older uploads regardless of the fact that he uploads strange, dark, and mysterious videos 2-3 times a week
It’s me I’m here cause of this reason ! I watch all of his videos immediately, so now I am trynna find videos I haven’t seen (which isn’t many if at all) lol

I met him at the store he owned and shook hands with him. After what I experienced at that moment of touching him I never went back. When it came out about what he had done my husband and I knew that from then on we would trust my instincts and insight I got from people.
Why did I think you were talking about Mr. Ballen at first? 😭
@jaean3088 lol. I should of put the name .
I’m nearly 60 with health and knee problems. I decided to try to walk a mile on the treadmill. That’s huge for me but I can’t take meds for pain soooo…I put this on with me ear pods and boom a mile in less than 30 minutes. I know most are like ummmm I can do atleast 5 miles an hr. I get it. But I can’t. I somedays can barely walk. You helped the time go so fast and kept my mind off of my discomfort and kept me going. So much better for me then music. I think I can do half an hr twice a day and maybe soon I can do 2 miles in half an hr! Thank you Mr Ballen!
More strength to you 🙌
omg, libby, this touched my heart. may the heavenly father bless you.
Libby, it’s amazing what you achieved! It’s always a matter of finding whatever inspires you to do it. Hope your health improves with those walks and that you’re always blessed.
Good for you! Great job!
That is awesome! Don't know why I never thought to play Mr. Ballin while working out. Sounds like you entered what us young folk call "beast mode" 😂💖
"The married one" may not be the killer, it could be another victim that was never found. By identifying himself as "the married one", he may have been trying to tell them that his case hasn't been solved and that's why his "ghost" is stuck there.
agreed logic lol
I, too, thought that when I heard that!!! Immediately!
Yeah definitely. The other thought I had is that HB called himself the married one - because he thinks of himself as another victim. You know what I mean? Like malignant narcissists tend to do. Or on the paranormal tip, maybe he was possessed, or believed he was.
Schizophrenia doesn’t make anyone violent - people who have it are LESS violent than the general population - but I wonder if it played a role in herb’s murders.
@@dougspidermanhappy Yeah, that's entirely possible...
Honestly, it sounded less like "the married one" and more like a name like "Barry Wood" or something like that.
Right at the audio recording where he asks "is there anyone in the kitchen?" An ad popped up: "ITS LITTLE CESAR'S PIZZA!" and I bust out laughing and I probably shouldnt have 😂

What I've learned on this channel: Gorgeous estates at unbelievably low prices = sheer terror.
zionist prefer just taking the land for free from the rightful owners.... When they're not bombing children.
have you considered therapy
I actually lived in this nice apartment which had a great price compared to others in the area. I jokingly said to the realter "ok we'll rent it but did anyone die in this apartment? be honest" and we both just laughed, he said no and we signed the contract. Then, at night the apartment's piano (which was already there) started playing itself.
It's free _ethereal_ estate...
@@anna_25 so the realtor lied?
I used to be real estate agent and honestly, I would like to see the realtor that managed to sell serial killers house. That must be some propper sale skills.

My SIL married a man from Oaxaca, Mexico. The village they are from has apparitions appear frequently. I have my own theory on it, but that is for another discussion. The point is that this man's father goes up to these apparitions when they appear and demands they leave. He says you have to show no fear and be very adamant, even forceful in your demands or they will not leave. One man had saved a bunch of money in a tin box and buried it. He died suddenly, and his wife and children ended up in extreme poverty because she did not know where the money was hidden. An apparition of the husband appeared frequently and roamed the hills at night. This father decided to confront it as all of the townspeople were dreadfully frightened by it. He drank a little to give himself courage and confronted the spirit. It told him it could not go because of the missing money that was needed for its family. He told it that if it would tell him where it was, he would give the widow all the money and the spirit HAD to leave. The apparition finally told him. He found the money, returned it all to the widow, and the apparition never came back.

The old tv series “A Haunting” did an episode on the haunting of Fox Hollow Farm, more creepy and scary things happened to the new owners and you get a lot more of the details .
@@LoremLipsumz You wouldn't happen to remember the name of the episode?

You should watch interviews with the Killer's wife. She describes their life together. Their long marriage. She did not know. There's even video clips of Christmas with his family. That's the fascinating part.
That’s funny me too….. on that one at least ……. I wanted to hear more about that story……
Story well told as always. As for the reality of it, almost everywhere somebody died and the whole world should have been haunted if this is how it goes.
I wait for this all day. The time between videos is the saddest time I’ve ever experienced. Please never leave me again
Chill out xd, if this is the saddest experience, you must have a very nice life.
Dude same!
Ok that was actually scary as hell
He’s such a great story teller I’m scared but can’t stop listening
Yeah i am really happy i decided not to watch it last night when it came out
It's not often you hear of people reacting like this to a haunting. Trying to figure who they are, and help them get closure. How wonderful is that. As always John, you had my total attention while telling this story. I could visualize everything through your word. Awesome!
Definitely a haunting... these are the ones that wouldn't bother me as much after awhile though. At least in this case they knew why and they knew it was all human spirits. No one got physically attacked, only freaked out. At least it's not a full blown demon or something like in the story about the NASA engineer.
id rant my ass of to em annoy em till they leave then feel lonley again.
What NASA engineer?

The scary part of this is the idea that the victims ghosts are acting out their deaths, while Herb is still there too. So sad for those men.
I don’t think it was Herb. Someone mentioned above the possibility that it could have been a married man who was in the closet and had just not been discovered yet. Herb wouldn’t be at his farm anyway, right? Because that’s not where he killed himself...
@@lorirunion8196 Then I hope someone looks into him, His poor wife probably would like the closure.
Think of it this way. It means one day, he can die again for his crimes.
@@lorirunion8196 you do know that spirits are not always automatically trapped in the place they die, right? In fact, it depends on several factors as many go back to the place during life that they would rather be most after dying.
@@kuywasaamazikeen8048 Nope. Regardless, I still think my theory (and that of aforementioned previous poster) sounds like it could be true.
Rob: “well we moved into a serial killers house so we’re just going to have to get used to…”
Me: a shit ton of trapped spirits obviously
Rob: “people spying on us”
Me: oh…
I was thinking the exact same thing 😂 that’s where i tonight it was going then he said people wanting to see it and just like “oh, well yeah I guess that makes sense too but also no...it’s ghosts.”

No such thing as ghosts 👈
@@mikechecka292
So if there is no such thing as ghosts, what would say that was happening?
@@mikechecka292How do you know ? or do you just assume ?
Imagine being lured and then your life is snuffed out .. and if that isn’t bad enough, you’re stuck with your killer in the afterlife.
Hopefully the victims can eventually Rest In Peace ❤️
@@sophiagrace8362that's kind of rude, don't ya think ? What if it's just a friendly spirit of someone who lived there & just doesn't want to leave ? And SOME things won't just "go away" simply because you burn some sage.. sometimes you'll just make things worse
*allegedly
That's what I was thinking too
I think those ghosts are allowed to torment their killer in the afterlife
f*** that - I hope they gang up on him on regular basis
Love the way that this guy really has his details and the way that the people in these situations stop on …. Literally I don’t think anyone can do this the way that he does. He’s the goat of storytelling…. Imagine being at a fire in woods telling scary stories/tales.

I'm a paranormal investigator of 8 years and my team and I spent 4 days at Fox Hollow Farm a couple of years ago, courtesy of the gracious new owners Rob and Vicki. I've investigated at locations all over the US, including locations related to other serial killers like John Wayne Gacy, but this was by far the most fascinating! The evidence we caught was incredible. One of the most interesting aspects of the experience was that we got to work directly with one of Herb's former lovers (the "one who got away") who interacted with us throughout our stay and shared detailed information regarding their ongoing relationship, which was occurring at the same time Herb was killing his victims. Some of his stories about the killer were quite... interesting, as I'm sure you can imagine. We also met and investigated with the former tenant of the carriage house, Joe LeBlanc.
I can't even begin to tell you what an amazing experience it all was. I'll never forget it. One EVP we caught while digging in the forest (where there are still unclaimed remains) was especially chill inducing. The owners are still finding victims' bones on occasion, even all these years later, and the strange paranormal activity has become a somewhat common occurrence for them.
They did a "Haunted Case Files" episode about my team's first investigation there (I wasn't present for that one), but I've been interviewed on a paranormal podcast about our experiences during the 2018 trip. If anyone would like more info I'll post the links. To say it's a fascinating place would be an understatement. Spirits definitely still reside there and I hope in time they find peace.
Drop that link.
Please put the link down
I believe it was an episode of Paranormal Round Table if I'm not mistaken. Loved hearing about it
What is the episode number
Hey guys! Sorry for the delay, just now saw these replies.
My team (Boulder County Paranormal Research Society -- BCPRS) has done two investigations of Fox Hollow. I was present for the 2nd one in 2018, but The Haunted Case Files episode covers my teammates' 1st investigation there (I'll link that below). We've been on a few other episodes for various investigations, but honestly the show takes a lot of creative liberties and makes it a bit cheesy, which I'm not a big fan of lol.
So if you want more in-depth details on the crazy things we experienced on that 2nd trip, here is my two part interview on the show "Paranormal Round Table" (episodes 28 & 29).
Part 1: ruclips.net/video/NU2uRXYY6ac/видео.html
Part 2: ruclips.net/video/UFlS3nIqvnk/видео.html (this one is where it gets more interesting)
PS -- Toward the end of episode 29 (part 2) I also discuss a horrifying personal encounter that my ex and I had one night in 2014 with a creature we can't explain. But the rest of the interview is all about Fox Hollow.
And here is the Haunted Case Files episode. Again, I'm not featured in this particular one, but a couple of my teammates are. *Fast forward to the **13:20** mark for the right segment:*
ruclips.net/video/8iBxYhnJhvc/видео.html
On a side note, our team leader (Richard Estep) is a prolific author and has a great book out about Fox Hollow. He's appeared on a plethora of shows like Paranormal 911, Haunted Hospitals, HCF, Coast-to-Coast AM, and others. He's been doing this for 20+ years at locations all over the world, so he's got some truly great stories if you're looking for new paranormal topics to binge. 😉 Here's his website: www.richardestep.net/
