Best and most scariest RUclips story teller I don’t normally get scared by stories but the way you tell them is impeccable and the images and videos and sounds all add to leaving a 33 grown man scared of sounds and seeing things moving in his one home 😂😂😂💪❤️
Hahahahahah
hi
I had such full-body goosebumps from the second story!!! Poor Katie!!!
MrBallen make a video explaining your back story with the like button 🤣🤣🤣
Dean Fulford you aren’t any more braver
The guy outside shoulda been the scared one, what kind of psycho sleeps with their feet hanging out of the tent?
True! It's gotta be John Wick in there or someone similar...
That was a good one. 😆
It's probably why he didn't try anything. Even late night forest creepers don't want none of that.
He was such a polite person indeed... Didn't do anything to katie even though he could've
😩😂
Legs sticking out of a tent, at night, in the wilderness? I cant even sleep with my legs hanging out the bed incase monsters grab them.
same!
I want to know who's so f****** dumb they buy a tent they can't lie down in. You'd have to TRY and search and go out of your way to find a tent you can't fit in. Absolutely ridiculous.
You got that right! Not even entirely comfortable with foot sticking out of the blanket! Monsters are devious!
I’ve always told my husband that I must sleep with covers to protect me from axe muderers. I can not fathom sleeping isolated, in the woods with my legs hanging out...and this story confirms why!!!
@@juliehelms9402 Not for any amount of love or money!!!! (I'm a city girl to begin with, so the woods, even in the daytime, gives me the willies. I'm DAMN SURE not SLEEPING in a tent out there. No. Not this girl lol).
So Dad is camping with his daughter, hears some commotion outside of the tent and doesn't investigate. Father of the year.
Bro 💀who tf is going to investigate noise in the woods ik your ass wouldn’t
That first story.... An unnaturally silent forest, a tent that's been tampered with by an unseen entity, and the sounds of laughter from an unknown source... That sounds like the setting for every single lost-in-a-haunted-forest horror movie ever made.... I'd be shitting bricks for sure.
Sounds like a wrong turn story
Almost sounds like a M. Night Shyamalan film, except the ‘twist’ would be the guy laughing outside the camp is actually the rich landlord getting ready to hunt, his “guests” that is, with his son too! 😱🤯
Shitting bricks? Wouldn't it hurt your ass badly?
I've cut trips short for a lot less...
Id definitely write a horror movie story with this as an inspiration " Lost in the unnatural woods"
Legs poking out of a tent? I don't even let my leg dangle off the side of the bed.
Lol it sounds weird but it’s super common when backpacking like he explained.
leg dangling off the side of the bed ?
i do not even let my blanket dangel of side of my bed
@@i_am_a_boy5655 😁😁
And never look at a mirror in the dark. I hide my eyes if I have to pass a mirror at night on the way to the bathroom. Mrballen’s stories are great but my anxiety is way worse now! :P
Big facts 💯
I grew up hearing from my uncles “if the animals in the forest get quiet, then prepare to fight or die”
Yeah very true, my dad drilled this in my head as a kid.
So true.. So true... that is absolutely a huge huge red flag&U better pray U have protection&get out without incident.
yikes
Is it because it means they are hunting?
Because they know when to stfu and hide.
Hearing the same laughter at night in the space of 2 hours is actually quite freaky
I'd be laughing.back with lead flying
Freaky? I'ma be grabbing a flamethrower going to where the laughter coming from and BURN THE WOODS DOWN BYRN IT ALL DOWN BURN TO ASHES BURN BURN BURN!!!!!!!
sombody finna catch a 45 i hunt in georgia too 😬
@@brianmaricle9646 a wise man I see
Probably hyenas
I love that he converts units of measurements for a better idea of distances or whatever for everyone. Really nice touch
For me it great because in my country we work in m and km
i think its interesting that he bounces back and forth between metric and imperial measures
I really love this too!
@@brodefineportraiture446Isn’t it that he uses the measuring system used inte country the story comes from? When he tells stories from the US he uses the imperial system and for stories from countries that use the metric system he does just that? That is my guess.
@PowerOfAnima my guess is that he uses whatever measurements were used in the story and then converts for the other side on screen.
This is why when I go camping, I simply never go camping.
S'mores can happen at home I suppose
Never saw the point in camping. That’s what cottages and hotels/motels are for. 2nd Amendment is my guardian angel.
@@redwave5268 - I know right? With all these horrible camping stories, I'd rather be the one doing the terrorizing. At least then I wouldn't be so scared.
This one felt very Scooby-Doo.
I never go camping because I never sleep anywhere that there may well be spiders.
Son : Dad can we go camping in the forest to see wild life ? Please please please ...
Me : Son , have you ever heard of Mr.Ballen ?
Seriously!! After hearing these stories, my sister (6 y/o) has been begging me (18) to take her camping and I have lost absolutely all faith in my competence and how prepared I’d be in any of these situations x.x
@@calamitysangel2057 pretty much you really don’t know what could happen
@@calamitysangel2057 if my sister ever ask me that , ill say " okay lets go then , lets pack our stuff . We'll leaving right away " after we done packing , ill take her straight to the ikea .
I watch Mr.Ballen all the time and it just makes me want to camp and hike more
I would like this comment but it currently has 69 likes
For those looking for an update, it turns out the culprit of the first AND second story were both the like button
You had me in the first half, ngl
@@m4gs.lol 😂
read that completely in mr ballens voice, ggs
Damn like button
Story 2: Girllll! Scream! If its Dad he's gonna startle and apologize for scaring you. If it's not Dad you are gonna scare whoever it is AND wake Dad up. Win-Win. Being quiet gives the creep a chance to knock you out and run off with you quietly. Nah. Scream so loud you pierce his eardrums, wake up the whole bloody campground. Scaring a possible perpetrator under those circumstances gives you a better chance of survival.
Totally. Why would she not scream?!
I wondered the same thing. Child scream and wake up your dad.
Because your body goes on to fight, flight or freeze. When you're body goes into freeze sometimes there are things that you physically can't do because your brain has decided the freeze response was your best chance for survival. It's the reason a lot of girls don't fight when they're being raped. Freezing might have saved her life, we won't ever know.
Also why doesn’t she at least have a pocket knife in her tent with her
Easy AF to Monday morning Qb this event. It’s an entirely different matter experiencing it first hand. Maybe you will get c chance to experience it for yourself. Perhaps afterwards you will be able to emphasize. This assumes you survive the encounter. Just food for thought.
Ebon's dad opens the tent and looks out.
A voice calls "If you're a fan of the strange, dark, and mysterious delivered in story format, then you've come to the right forest."
Most underrated comment
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Mr Ballen is so handy
Ebon adds: is that the like button
"It's private property, and it's fenced in, there's nobody there except you guys."
Yeah, because fences and private property stop people.
My exact thought cause it’s impossible to jump over a fence
@@airsoftdude36 Just the other day, in my hometown, bank robbers broke into the bank through a triple locked door, they managed to disable the alarm system and even cracked the safe.
Luckily the bank put the money behind a fence. Poor bastards never stood a chance.
@@mrsilver8517 laughing my ass off right now 🤣
yeah what bullshit. unless it was an old Military base with high fence and barb wire....
Also… coyotes.
There were a group of 5 abandoned homes, all in a circle facing each other in the middle of the woods behind my house as a kid. Now, I grew up in rural GA where there are many abandoned homes. However, these were all furnished, with cars and very personal items. Each home had newspapers and magazines and the last year on them all was 1971. It was as if 5 whole families just disappeared. There wasn't even a road or a drive way leading to the homes. I used to go treasure hunting there for antiques and I always felt like I was being watched. I never found out about what happened to them.
Early 70's, rural Georgia, "vanishing family". There may be ghost but their disappearance is not a mystery. Lynch mobs. Now their spirits may be seeking revenge but what happened is a tale as old as 1492
Do you still live nearby there
Can be very old person live in there until death, and they didn't have children or anyone that inherits the property, so they just death and leave everything untouched, and no one do anything to the house, it happened a lot in some country, and that kind of house is always more dreadful, because the house is empty but feel lively, and I heard some story about people who heard a lot of conversation and someone doing chorus in that kind of abandoned house, when they check it there no one inside, and it happen to one of my family house, the owner of the house already death, but no one claims the house, and somehow they just left it like that with most of the furniture still in there, and the most shocking thing is when one of the neighbors ask my uncle, when he go to that house to do some house cleaning (he clean the house twice per years), and the neighbors ask him when they pass by at the roads, 100m away from the house, he say "is there family event going on in that house? I saw a lot of beautiful woman sunbathing in front of the house", when my uncle hear that he shock because none of his family member or relatives go in there, except him, and he rush to the house checking every Corner of the house, the front yard, and inside the house, and it's totally empty. I have one experience at that house few years before the house get abandoned, I saw a thing once in that house, a beings that wearing white dress walking to the bathroom from the kitchen, and I'm sure it is not human, because every person on that house at that day is on the living rooms, it's not that scary but it's make me shivers and shocked.
Where my cousins live there are a lot of houses like that. Some are kept up by generations of families some have no family left. They have someone paying taxes and that's it. They are meant to be there for them when they 'come back' after death.
That first one with the laughing hit me hard.
I’ve done a good bit of wild camping over the years a fair amount solo and away from the risk of encountering other people.
You get used to the normal sounds of the woods, animals moving around and the sounds they make. It might wake you up and it takes a second to figure out what’s going on.
The thought of being in the woods alone and hearing laughter is horrifying just thinking about it.
Makes you wonder if it was a feral person out of their mind or a cryptid, the goat man or some shit
@@jasonreyna7615 There’s nothing paranormal, supernatural or out of the ordinary like groups of feral people living in the woods so I don’t wonder that at all.
at least the guy laughing wasn't asking them "do you know how to get to bells canyon?"
ikr
' ~'
😂😂😂good one!
LMFAOO
This comment deserves a infinite amount of likes. Great one man!
"Before you skip this video..."
One does not simply skip a Mr Ballen video
That’s what I was saying lol
Imagine skipping a Mr Ballen video
Thats what I said!
I do that when it's too late at night
who does that anyway he is awesome
I didn’t think I could get this scared from listening to spooky stories anymore but damn is my heart racing and has me looking over my shoulder in bed 😅 I am paranoid!!! I gotta turn the damn lights on! It’s time to finish the last story now 😂
The strangest part of that first story to me is how they were even able to fall asleep in such dead silence. I need a fan or brown noise or something. LOL
In all seriousness.
Is that a real thing? I only know of "White noise".
@@davida.7967 yes, brown noise is lower pitched than white. White noise is like television static - brown noise is more like the low roar of an airplane or a large fan.
I thought brown noise was the tone that could supposedly make you 💩 your pants. Huh.
Edit: I'm being serious. There was a whole Mythbusters episode on it.
is brown noise the sounds of someone doing a shit. :'D
Fr
Dad heard the noises around his daughters tent around 3am and just thinks “oh thank God, he’s by my daughters tent and not mine, I’m good”
Hahahaha
Hahahaha
Jerry and Summer go camping . ( Rick and Morty )
Crying in agony😂😂😂😭😭😭💯
Hahaha!! You earned yourself a thumbs down! I bet "you" would think that! 🤣
I love how confident the land owners are about if someone is going to trespass that they will use the front gate...
I would ASSUME that means the perimeter fence is barbed, but it's not stated so who knows lol
I laughed my butt off at that. Like bro I don't care about the front gate lol. Even if barbed is easy to get it lol
My neighbors are cattle peeps and have cameras all over in case they go through fence. Maybe they did that?
Right? Like how creepy is it that the only camera is at the front gate? Red flags all over these stories, man! Strange cowardly father, bringing his daughter camping in pup tents where your feet are just *OUT* there, a feet'pinching laughing maniac, and of course that rich friend who's like "sure, go camping with your daughter on my weird, foresty spot in BFE where you'll be completely alone with that *one* camera on the only entrance so you'll be safe cuz fences and camera--not suspish at all" ( *riiiigghttt* ) just, ick.
@@VanishingPuppet barbed wire only slows you down. Simple branch over the fence to pull the wire down. Easy step over. Then remove the branch. Either that or climb the fence post? Sacrifice a jacket? Cut and shut the fence?
Chicken wire is harder to cross than barbed haha
I live in Georgia and have heard that laughter too... It scared the shit out of me. Sounded like a cackling witch. After research i think it was a fox or bobcat trying to mate.
my sister and i used to hear voices at night (sometimes) coming from the abandoned house right next to our house.. we could never understand what they were saying even though they were very close.. it was usually very quite at night in that neighborhood and thats why we could hear almost every step someone makes outside .. so, one night we thought we need to know who those two people are .. and we were so surprised it was only our across the street neighbors .. a father and his son occasionally talked at night outside of their house, but because it was quite and the sound echos, it seemed like it was really from the abandoned house.. it might sound simple as you read this, but to us when we were young it was horrifying .. VERY!
A similar thing happened to me 2 years ago.
When I was 17 years old, (im 19 now) I remember very vividly closing the door to my beedeom and going to bed one night, and as soon as I go to bed, I see a FACE coming through the wall, telling me; " you are a crushed deplorable!!" I wake up screaming, and then my dad comes in trying to calm me down. It happens one more time; and dosent happen agian. Thats something I'll never forget.
There was a house for sale nobody was living in and I swear every winter around Christmas you could hear Christmas music coming from it. Not just normal Christmas music, I’m talking actual chimes coming from the house
What was spooky about this what that it always seemed like a slowed down version of popular Christmas songs, cursed in its own way
"Nobody could possibly be in there, we have a fence." That guy was SERIOUSLY underestimating the tenacity of crackheads and manic psychos..as well as manic-psycho-crackheads.
Flakka zombies...
Stories like all of these are why I always bring a rifle with extended magazines and a folding stock when I do extended outdoor activities, like camping.
@@scottcantdance804 I like to bring an AC-130. Just in case. (I win.)
@@Nangleator22 nah, bring a nuke
Isn’t Michael Reeves a manic psycho crackhead
I love how tents seem to be impenetrable fortresses against supernatural monsters/ people.
Or those beings don't want to hurt anyone, just scare them off or freak them out
Preach!
I also love how people inside them think no one outside can hear whats being talked about in the tent 🤣
Just throwing out here that it's well known that evil doesn't necessarily just enter a house/ place people are staying, without permission or some reason. A tent may form a similar "barricade". For all we know, if the father had left the tent, things might have gone differently.
@@matthewmosier8439 exactly. Both got out unharmed. Thats a definite win
Guess who's never camping again? Or hiking, or being home alone! Thanks Mr Ballen😱
If I didn't like MrBallen so much, I'd save myself the terror of listening to these scary stories. Cuz I'm a big scaredy-cat 😂
scaredy cat 🤓
same
Me too I'm a paranoid person but I love his stories
What lessons did we learn from this channel:
1. Don't go camping into the woods
2. Don't go underwater cave diving
3. Don't buy houses in open fields near forests
4. Don't acquire property with weird history, curses, or bad omens attached to it
5. Don't trust anyone
6. Don't be an influencer in Miami
7. Don't have no locks on windows
8. Don't have no locks on every single door in the house
9. Don't have kids because they will go missing
10. Don't have a spouse because they will go missing
11. Don't think you're safe anywhere.
Did I miss anything?
You forgot don’t take rides from strangers.
Don’t go exploring caves.
Don’t ever go hiking in the snow.
Check every nook and cranny in your home for secret doors
Finally, be the person to always change their mind at the last minute.
This is the definition of paranoia, and I think I have it.
And don’t go into abandoned hospital basements!
and you forgot acquire a large amount of lethal weaponry
@@Crustymustytheclown definitely go into basements
My Doctor: “You need to reduce your levels of stress and anxiety.”
Me: Slowly and methodically selects my 3rd, 4th, or even 5th MrBallen video of the afternoon
Haha fr 🙂🙃
I had the same experience with my doctor and took a break from these stories until my husband started up and kept recommending random stories and here we are. 🤷♀️
Lol. I can relate
🙋♀️ 😱🤢😳
My blood pressure was 155/90 and my doc was like is it always kinda high? I was like ummmm a little... as im listening to the skinwalker ranch story in my earbud
I’m just going to state the obvious here, you sir are an incredible story teller.
#3. Laughter: After rewatching it, I know exactly what happened:
Since the owner was adamant that nothing was in the forested area because nothing or no one could or had gotten in since it was a gated area, the only other logical explanation is that it was the owner who had been terrorizing them.
thats what i assumed
THETE ARE VERY STRANGE FOLKS OUT THERE, COULD'VE BEEN...
You mean story #3?
@@dogman5792 - Oh damn, you're right. I confused both stories.
@@CardsharpGaming it's fine 🙂😁😄😃
I can’t even sleep with my feet poking out from under my sheets at home, let alone a tent while camping.
same
I'm the same, can't have my feet poking out, its because one night I was in bed about to go to sleep then something touched my feet, the reason I say something is because no one was in my room, had no pets and my bedroom door was closed so there was no chance anybody was in my room.
@Obelus i would never let my dog sleep in such a substandard tent!!! he is in my 2 man tent with me, though strangely takes up 3/4s of the space. he has his own fluffy basket, a duvet and 2 pillows and still tries to steal my sleeping bag!
That’s why I don’t like camping
@@beaucameron8025 yep well I’m not going to be sleeping with the light off tonight.
Everybody gangsta until the Dark and mysterious is delivered in story format
i dnt understand why people want to camp and sleep in wild aargh🥵
I don't understand why everyone says this same.fucking statement in everyone if his videos. noone wants to be a gangster and not everyone is scared of a bloody story.
everybody gangster until they steal this comment and post it on EVERY. DAMN. VIDEO.
Stfu 😂😂
@@MurdahBassRecords your right it’s used to much but it’s a meme, the “every body gangsta until” is a meme, he’s not saying anyone thinks anyone’s gangsta it’s just a joke
You should write a book of stories to tell around a campfire. I’m sure a ton of people would be interested!
This would actually be perfect, digital age has made this obsolete. It would be perfect though
except hes not a writer? hes retelling other peoples stories. so it would be a compilation and he would need approval from all parties
I would love that. Just short creepy stories that you could read quite quickly to enhance your next camping trip or bon fire.
He did
@@gregorykiger5073 I wonder if this comment helped with the idea ;)
One of the only ones I’ve got goose bumps on, something about being distracted by something out a window while in an abandoned voice and suddenly hearing get out sent shivers down my arms
I like how they say “it’s impossible there’s a gate” as if it’s surrounded by 300 foot stone walls and a moat filled with hungry man eating crocodiles. It’s entirely possible that someone hiked in from an adjacent property and hopped the fence.
you are right, but it is more possible that it was an animal. If you just could here cats in my neighborhood, if you are not used to it, you would think is a child or a girl making noises there. I mean, animals can make very strange sounds.
Often times the oddest noises come from the smallest animals. Protection, creates fear. Small animals can sound like people screaming and all sorts of bizarre sounds.
@@thomascouch4864 I used to be freaked out alone at night when I first heard Coyotes....they sound terrifying.
Like a screaming girl or something
I bet it was some combination of fear and an owl. I have lived in the woods my whole life and still got the crap scared out of me by a rarer owl. It sounded exactly like a woman laughing/cackling. I was familiar with the mountain lions screaming but the laughing scared the crap out of me!
Ya it's likely a little wire fence not even barbed that's typically a property divider
Property Owner: “This is private property fenced in”
Everyone with a brain: “Yeah no one could just jump a fence”
IMPOSSIBLE!!
yep its minecraft
And if it’s a completely fenced off piece of land with fences high enough to keep people out for sure, why would you go hunting in it? Not gonna be any game in there. Yea deer can jump pretty high but not if the fence is high enough to keep a person from being able to get over it also
true facts guys
Don't forget the ONLY entrance was totally covered by cameras!
I love MrBallen because he never cusses. I am a very devout Christian. I have looked and looked for a True Crime channel for years that dosent cuss. This is the first and only one that I have found. Thank you MrBallen!!
I appreciate your service, my husband is retired Navy. Have you researched the haunted rode near Cripple Creek Colorado? Some of the old mines and ghost towns here in Colorado have some great stories.
Thanks for you husband's service: but It's called Cripple Creek, for real. .

If you enter the woods and don't hear natural sounds
RUN LIKE HELL ANIMALS DON'T SHUT UP FOR NO REASON
🔥💀🔥
@aviato287 x yeah thats called a reason. He said they don't shut up for NO reason. Brain, use it.
@@kitten-whisperer Exactly 👍✌️
No you don't Run.. you stay quite get into a low profile listen and watch your surrounding's...Never Run
This is also true with water. If you’re out surfing, snorkeling or whatever and the sea life disappears... get out of there.
It normally means a threat is nearby
Hey Mr ballen keep ballin' love re listening to your stories, it's your friend joey b, I'm disabled and have unlimited pain killers but hate them on my guts and get constipated, so can't enjoy food... I've re watched all your stuff for last 3 days n only took 6 pain pills instead of 36, so u take my mind off pain and can eat good food since pills ain't bunging me up... had steak and chicken n stomach don't hurt your stories make my pain leave my brain and probably helping me live longer... I love how u tell stories, thank u , u are literally making me want to live... I'm a country boy n my favorite thing is to get my mom to help me out to front porch and love listening to your scary stories outside and since I'm disabled there is no way I can get inside and tell my family not to get me, so I love being stuck outside listening to scary stories ... someday s I take 18 pain pills on days I'm listening to you I only take 2, thank u, u are literally a miracle worker even told my Dr about u and how u make my pain go away... thank u
Dude, you need stool softeners before you end up one of these stories. Every day you take pain pills you need to take stool softeners. You can still eat absolutely whatever you want, experiment and take enough until they are working.
That laughing in the first story scared the hell out of me lol
Usually when all wildlife in the woods gets quiet, an apex predator is around.
I 100% agree with that statement and with it I’ve had a rule my whole life if I go somewhere and it is absent of sounds completely whether that be animals, wind etc doesn’t matter if it’s a forest or not I’m staying away cause that apex predator might not even be a normal animal
@@Tideki_ Not so true. When predators are around, squirrels, crows ect..are very loud with warning calls. Don't let silence be your guide to the presence of a predator.
@@patriciamuskevitsch8359 who the hell are the squirrels trying to.warn? A squirrel could care less about a species predator it can just run up a.tree or I'n a hole or log
I say if it's too quite it's a no-go and if it's too loud it's also a no-go
Don't forget WE ARE apex predators...
Its terrifying listening to these as a truck driver when I'm trying to sleep at a rest stop 5ft from the forest in the mountains
I could understand that but I'm used to the strange things he talks about
F
Dang that’s spooky. I respect your job!
Yikes! Hope your packing! And be safe!!
Thank you for your hard work!!
Wow I'm a truck driver and I was thinking the same thing!!
I don’t think there’s anything scarier than unidentified laughter
Ready for more Halloween stories!!! (Not just because it's October, I'm Team strange, dark, & mysterious all year 'round!)
The creepiest thing in these stories was, that there are tents, that are so small, you'd have your legs out in the wilderness... WHO in their right mind would ever be comfortable with that?? 💀
I know right I have to tuck my feet into my blanket at night so nothing with tutch it
my toes are tucked in my blankets right now as I read this comment... totally agree lol!!
@Ruby Spider you did everything right! Pinchboy would have needed a map and password to go pinch your foot 😂👌
I don't even use a tent when I camp, I just use a tarp, of course I always bring my AR15 as well lol
Especially if u go camping that often . Spring 60-$100 extra
The laughter in the first story, that was the owner of the property. He gets a kick of letting people camp there and then scaring them at night.
Yeah a total psycho..😁😁😁
Good way to get yourself shot
How do u account for the silent forest, unless the there is a predictor
Why would he let hunters in then? Would he not end up shot
@@thelordgamer8707 Dunno. Maybe that's part of the thrill for him. Maybe he doesn't think he'll get shot and takes care to stay out of range etc.
I mean, he met the guys before, maybe he saw that they wouldn't be a real threat.
Bastard! 😂 that laughter at 6:00ish creeped me tf out! I was putting clothes away in my dark closet.
That first story is really creepy.😬
I love this guy. He just has such a good vibe, he doesn’t try to be creepy he just seems genuinely excited about the stories he tells. He’s also very eloquent which helps!
I appreciate that!
@@MrBallen mrballen responding to me just made my day haha and no problem dude!
I love how this guy responds and hearts to everyone he can
Anyone know any additional information about the first story? Mainly curious about where that hunting land is located. When he said that they hiked for an hour and then made camp, it kind of blew my mind thinking about how big a plot of land would have to be, in order to hike over it for an hour and not cross the entire thing.
Being a good storyteller is both a talent and a well=cultivated skill. MrBallen is a rare talented experienced story-teller.
I noticed that the mysterious laughter was actually coming from the like button, so I smashed it.
😂👻
Needs to be pinned
HA HA HA! GOOD REPLY!!
Wh- You ... *smashed* the like button??
😂😂😂😂
I don't like my feet sticking out of the bed sheets, so I definitely wouldn't be sticking them out of a tent, in the woods. Too many horror movies have I watched.
Mrballen is the best storyteller ever.
MrBallen, I’d go camping, climbing, SCUBA diving and boating with you anytime. But I call dibs on my legs staying in the tent. You seem like you can take care of yourself, so we should be good.
1000% if someone is laughing at the entrance to my tent, then there are going to be holes in my tent and a ringing noise in my ears.
Hahahaha, omg, wait, I can't stop laughing!! Same here.👍🏻😆😆😆😆
A gloryhole in your tent I guess
@@AliG8torGamers LMAO WHAT
r/cursedcomments
Damn straight 😂
@@AliG8torGamers A bullet sized glory hole, eh? Whatever works for ya!
Anytime I watch a Mr. Ballen video and he says “there was this forest.” I’m like, “awe shit, here we go again.”
Camping and forests are iffy, camping IN forests is a definite no!
@@miaknig3130 Ah it can be fun, I used to go to these paddle-in sites that were only accessible by water. The calm and the quiet out there was amazing, and I couldn't believe the amount of stars I'd see at night. It can be really amazing.
I used to love to go camping as a kid. We went all the time. As an adult I'm like why in the world did we think it was a good idea to go sleep in the open.
@@CloudyMason you can still go to places like that, without sleeping there and leaving yourself vulnerable to lunatics and/or opportunistic criminals. I like to sit on a Costa Rica beach in the middle of the night, but there is no way I would sleep there.
🤣😂🤣
Did anyone else miss the whole intro where he said once you know what's going on, watch it again? Cause we didn't learn about what was going on in any of the 3 stories??
Idk I don’t get it
I didn't get it either. Spooky story and all, I just don't get why he made a big deal about it like it had some crazy plot twist
@@littlemister96 right. Or that once we knew what was going on, listening a second time would make it more intense, I mean yeah, maybe so except none of the three had any explanation, we're left just wondering so listening again is really no different??
Idk, maybe just knowing that there were people in there the whole time
It makes the last one better because you know that somebody was probably in the house with them while they were in there
Ever since I have been watching your stories in my mind as you tell me the details and the sound effects really get to me.
I am a 57 year old woman but i can not stop listening to your stories and I can't sleep at night as I am hooked.
I feel like he needs a podcast were he just tells scary stories, true crime, and urban legends who else agrees
@Bill Brown I already listen to them as a podcast type of deal when I'm at work and school so I rlly think he should make a podcast
Yes please!
That would be amazing
I've never heard somebody tell stories like he does
First murch
@@nyramarciniak9461 merch
This guy has a natural ability in storytelling. Also, seems like the nicest guy who also was a navy seal lol. Great channel.
why do you assume navy seals are mostly not nice
@@nadav4185 it was tongue in cheek
I don't know, my dad was a SEAL (amongst the first actually, served in Vietnam), and he's nice as can be, unless you piss him off. Even at 70+ yrs old I still wouldn't want to piss him off, otherwise he's the nicest guy you could hope to meet.
@@TheMattc999 Yeah I was just messing around.
Ya your right
I come back to this video a lot. The second story gives me the chills every single time.
Omg, I'm never going camping... For sure , thee most scariest stories, I've ever heard.. especially the one with Katie's legs hanging out of her tent & having to pull them back inside.. made me squeal in horror..lol
Thanks for the scare.. MrBallen
The second you said "wealthy landowner" all I could think was that the hunters were going to become the hunted.
xactly thats wat i thought
Same
i im
" the most dangerous game "
It reminded me of several movies.
(3rd story)
Dad: "it's haunted"
Kids: "what?"
Dad: *hastily walking away* "it's haunted"
Yup
That would totally be me as a dad
I read this in Michel Scott’s voice like he way saying it all nonchalantly
Me as a dad - 'It's OK they're not calling the cops it's ghosties, i'm keeping the fur coat for ya mom....don't tell her its haunted'
🤣🤣🤣
In the first one, someone is living out there. Sadly, there are nutcases who make a point of threatening and harassing campers, those in tents and RV's. I take a gun with me now and I'm willing to use it to keep myself safe.
What if it was the owner
@@broguns2420 yeah. I was thinking that too…. What if he’s secretly a nutcase that enjoys scaring the shit out of people when he “invites them” to his property to hunt.
I wondered about the owner to... it's also odd that there was no animal, weather or nature sounds. Something isn't right about the whole situation. After sitting out there in dead silence I wouldn't have even made it till dark before I high tailed it out of there. There are good reasons I refuse to go camping.
That first story gives me chills every time !
My grandpa used to tell me that I shouldnt be scared of any noise i hear in the forest, because if whatever was there wanted to kill me, I wouldnt hear it coming. Right before I went camping. Thanks, grandpa.
Edit: grammar
Yup that's why we should always be prepared with some sort of defense and should not travel alone in the woods
Thats not really true though. Some animals enjoy playing with their food
@@jordandellinger4718thats even worse😂
Yep! The moment everything goes dead quiet? thats when you should also decide to be dead quiet and stay very alert.
Had it happen to me an a group of guys, we were so on edge as the atmosphere just, at the snap of a finger became so freakishly tense an unnerving, last for like an hour then just as abruptly as the silence came! the weird an sometimes scary calls of animals returned. When that happened, the atmosphere returned to normal an we focused on telling stupid silly stories to eachother.
At the end of the survival training, the other group also said, it happened to them at the exact same time, for the exact same amount of time, even though we had our rifles and our sidearms, a squad of guys in each group. We didn't feel any safer. one of them described it like when they were on patrol in afghan and the village that was usually filled with life was completely empty, it just felt.. off and that something REAL bad was about to happen.
@@jordandellinger4718 no they dont, not in the jungle , no animal is dumb enough to let its pray escape just bcz it wanted to play with it . street cats and wild cars are totally different. wild ones dont PLAY
Someone tried kicking my door in one night. I got close to the door, then I said "is that loaded? Hand it to me" and the guy hauled ass out of there lol
I do the same thing when walking my dog in the woods at night...lol. I am telling my dog out loud to find the rabbits so I can shoot them...lol. just so anyone near with bad intentions knows I'm packing even though I'm not.
@@ashersway6518 well you should be packing..
Ashers way never fuck around and bluff honey you’ll find someone crazy enough to call you out eventually then ur fucked just go make the investment for a few hundred dollars at a pawn shop trust me it’s worth your life💕
Was it loaded?
@@kyleriendeau3818 “at a pawn shop” fuck outta here with buying illegal guns lmao
The laughter you added scared me ngl lmao
Why do I listen to these before napping or sleeping 😂 thanks mrballen, your stories are great and will continue to scare me to the core 😂🤣😂 your stories are too good to not listen too
My cousin was camping one time with his dad and some folks from their church, all in different tents. He wakes up in the middle of the night to some horrible growling noises very close by, and he can hear the boys in the tent next to his praying that this thing, this bear or whatever it is doesn’t attack them. And he can’t help but laugh to himself, as he knows only too well the sound of his father’s snoring.
🤣🤣
That's a good one! Poor kids, never slept near enough to grandparents to know they snore loud!!!
First time I had my own tent while camping, without sleeping in my parents tent (idk 11 years old?) I woke up at dawn to stomping and sniffing. I was scared and thought it was a bear, I stayed petrified in my sleeping bag for 15 minutes before I decided I wanted to actually see the bear, and peeked out the tent between the rain fly Ended up being my mom getting the fire going and breakfast ready, she had a stuff up nose, and is not a “dainty” lady. So yeah.🤦♀️😂
I routinely scare bears away from my campsites now, even in the middle of the night, not to frightened of black bears in my camping area, though I give them respect, they do leave when I tell them do (especially when I have my two 80lb dogs barking and me yelling at them lol)
I didn't ask
that could be why we evolved to snore. scare animals away at night.
This is why I only go camping where there is a complimentary bathrobe hanging on the door.
Lol and a LOCK!!
😂😂😂
LOL luv it !!!!!!!
Don't forget to add a complementary breakfast in the morning
And sometimes that's not too safe
Years ago, I was in a group in Kansas City that investigated paranormal activity. I get more scared listening to your stories than I did during all the investigations except the one in a Civil War era jail.
Once again, all these stories just confirm my reasoning for NEVER going camping 😀
I was hiking after dark in a park about half a mile north of the American border (in Pembina Valley Park in Manitoba, Canada) and as I got to the completely empty parking lot and started walking across it to my car, I hear a voice from behind me say "excuse me!", and a woman, maybe 30, walks out from behind the trees I just walked past. She doesn't introduce herself and immediately (almost frantically) asks me if I can give her a ride to her boyfriends house. Without much hesitation I say yes because I'm a grown man who also happened to be armed at the time, so I didn't really fear for my safety (remember this is at nighttime, in the middle of nowhere, with no one else around for miles). Once I agree to give her a ride she says "great, I'll get my stuff", and walks back into the woods. After a few minutes she emerges again, this time with a huge duffle-bag, a pillow, a backpack, a massive tarp, and the biggest sleeping bag I've ever seen. She loads it all into my car and we start driving out of the park. I ask her what she was doing alone in the park with no car and all that camping gear (camping isn't allowed in this park) and she tells me that she's been living in the park for 28 days, fasting (not eating) the entire time as some kind of 'spiritual journey'. I know instantly that she's lying because I go to that park very often and I definitely would have heard about a crazy lady living there. We drive about 10 miles to her "boyfriends" house and as I drive down the long, winding driveway, I can tell that no one lives there. The windows were boarded up and the grass was about a foot long and there wasn't a single light coming from the house. I make a point to stop about 50 yards from the house because at this point I know something sketchy is going on here. She gets out and starts unloading her gear when I notice some movement in the trees about 20 feet to my left: it's a man sneaking towards my car, clearly trying to remain hidden. In that moment it all started to click: I was being car-jacked. I looked back to see if she had finished unloading her stuff and the second she had her last piece of gear out of my car, I threw it in reverse and floored it all the way back down the driveway. As i peeled away I looked back at the woman and she was standing there looking absolutely furious.
I know it's a long shot but if you're that woman and you happen to see this, nice try.
Glad you got outta thr safe...
Bruh, something similar happened to me. Not in the woods thankfully but a guy needed gas money so I offer to go to the gas station attendant and give her money. He then grabs a beer so I’m like fine I’ll get you a beer. Then he asks me to drive him to his car for his gas can. Yeah, that was a no-brainer. If you were gonna peddle gas money at a gas station, you would have brought the damn gas can with you. I then told the lady and her husband to lock the door behind me. That was really sketch.
What a story holy cow…
Cheers to your safety and here’s hoping she didn’t get some other poor guy afterwards
That's a crazy story. Good eye. Glad you're safe.
I am really happy you are okay and shame on the people that try to take advantage of people that are there to help. This is why some people don't help people who truly need help. ☮️
I’m 36 and binge watching these like yeah, it’s cool, but I know these are going to be in my imagination not only all night but every time I go in the woods for the rest of my life.
I'm 60 years old and I don't scare easily at all but I've been bingeing .day and night for a few days now and am actually getting weird dreams already. Has to be one of the best channels on RUclips by far!
Damn, I'm 23 and was hoping that if stop getting scared so easily with age 😂😂
@@AuntyAwesome when I was young I scared very very easily, I would even sneak into my parents bedroom at night and sleep on the floor if I watched a really scary movie. I'm 60 now and don t scare at all except for the occasional weird dream. It does get much better with age so don t worry. Have a wonderful day xo 🇦🇺🤗😍👻🍀
Yeah, me too (I’m not 36), and I know I shouldn’t watch these cause I’ll get scared but here I am.
I’m 21 and I’m scared shitless on a military installation, you would think I would feel safe and sound haha
This episode sponsored by human size tents. For the nights when you wants to keep your feet safe. ⛺️
It's super respectful for Mr. Ballen to always say respective and respectful when describing someone's personal things. I'm starting a respective counter for every time he says respective.
Who else is disappointed when they hear “And to this day...” 😂
Ong I’m like “AW FUCK😭”
@@trent2kg813 Yep that person still missing. Yikes.
Ikr 😨
@@trent2kg813 yes
I get more disappointed when I hear " so thats going to do it guys"..😭
I’ve learned one thing from watching Mr. Ballen: never go camping, mountain climbing, scuba diving, or boating 😆
Or driving (especially shortcuts), or swimming, or just living in your house 😅
😂😂
@@skaerup that’s for sure!!! To play it safe, just don’t leave your house or talk to anyone!!! 😂😂😂 I think I’ll just sit in my room and watch MrBallen videos to be extra safe! 😉
If you think you heard something you did, if you think you saw something you did. Don’t try to explain things that you don’t understand.😬😳😱
Also don’t live in a house.
I haven’t been terrified from anything since 6 years ago, and that first story was genuinely stress inducing.
Totally just got cold chills
I can't even sleep with my feet sticking out of the covers, let alone my tent!
Same!
LOL 😆 🤣 😂
😆 Shame....a hand is coming under the cover, you better tuck it well 😆
@@tinuolaadebayo7276 lmao, this used to be an irrational fear of mine as a child! Covers had to be tucked in perfect. I was certain that any intruder or foot bandit would walk in, look down and not see my feet because of the superb tuck job and think to himself, "on to the next house, this kid don't have any feet."
I wouldn't be in the woods in a tent to begin with. The only place I wanna see trees is in a city park.
My most common thought to a lot of these stories is, "Do you want to get shot? Because that's how you get shot."
Remind me to bring you when I want to explore a sketchy place.
Exactly my thought with that first story, I would've shot through the tent door, a small hole in the door is better than possibly death
😂 Yep, suicide by terrified gun owner
It’s sure as hell gets you shot where I live. That’s why there’s almost no break ins.
@@bighoss2028 yep. Duck tape is a thing.
This man can read my kids Immunizations records & make it INTERESTING & INTRIGUING ASF!! I love this guy the best hands down PeerrriiooddT
His stories are always awesome. Not only is he a good story teller, but the topics. Man, not only intriguing but yeah, i dont want to go into caves anymore, go into the water, or too deep into a national park. lol
Tents give you such a false sense of safety.
I curl up in my sleeping bag and my mind’s like: “ain’t nuthin’ gonna break in here.”
HAHAHAHAHA
Hoestly, houses too, anyone with a stone could break in anytime as long as you have a single window.
Hahaha IKR
there ya go
@@MatthiasDrinksH20 Uhh? Maybe if its single pane. But thats very uncommon. At least in my country. With double glazed windows you'd at least need a sledge hammer to break through a window. And it could easily be a few swings.. Obviously, this would definitely wake up anyone inside. Windows are actually made to be really tough in the middle. Having said this, a tradesmen friend of mine once told me that they're very weak on the edges. And you could hypothetically easily break one, if you took off the plastic framing that surrounds the window, to get to the edge of the pane, and then you'd probably be able to break it with a chisel
Second story confirms that if you leave your feet outside the tent, some unknown weirdo will infact grab them. We all instinctively knew this all along! 😆
Who is leaving their foot out in the forest full of mosquitoes?!
Even in the forest, you can’t escape the creeps with a foot fetish lmao.
Poor girl, that actually made me jump out of my skin and reinforce the idea a zipped tent is a safe tent :’)
Wonder if she has sexy feet.
I’m guessing daddy pulling a stunt on the kid. Good acting dad?
Anyone felt like she should of kicked him on the face when he was leaning over ? 🦶🏽💥
Im a new subscriber, and I really enjoy your videos. I can't stop watching, the way you tell a story in great detail is amazing. Your always so well spoken! I will be looking forward to new videos in the future. 😊
Alternate title for this one: “Bigfoots TROLL people” 😂
That laughter in the first story gave me the chills when he was right next to there tent man this guy is amazing
Bro it made my heart race
I agree with you
Watching that at midnight is a whole new level of chills
My Heart dropped so hard it leaves a hole in the ground
They were playing irl the forest lmao
Love how the dad hears noises at 3am and doesn't go check on his daughter lmaoo
He’s like fuck that I’m out
And I don't know why the girl didn't scream, especially when she thought he had touched her legs with her tent open and was going to drag her somewhere...or at least yell "Is that you dad?" If she screamed, she probably would have woke up her dad or scared the intruder away.
@@Lemon_squee She did have a choice if she didn't she wouldn't have stopped herself from screaming or pulled her legs into her tent before she was pinched. Her self preservation instincts kicked in and told her to be quite and not move that's why she didn't scream out and remains as still as possible.
Ya but.. do you actually love it?
Me camping twigs break or something just runs threw camp im up for rest of night stalkin whtever is stalkin me i will face it
These ones actually really got me. I was gonna say the 2nd one was the worst but something about the third one and how those people were hiding somewhere and watching them and then staring at them out the windows as they left...oh hell no. I think it was some cult.
You do a really great job telling these stories. Really makes you visualize and think. Makes me feel like I'm not a lone at night. Very creepy
“wealthy guy invites them to hunt on his private property”
my brain: so he or his people can hunt them, right, mhm.”
The rest of the story didn’t convince me otherwise necessarily.
Thought the same thing.
Exactly what I thought.
Same!
Same thought process here
"The Most Dangerous Game" seriously my friend.
I like how he tells the stories without jump-scaring you with loud noises.
Its sooo much better
Foreshadowing
So true
he just scares the shit out of you with background images
Makes it creepier
