#christmas #korea #mrballen
Ever since I became a fan of Mr. Ballen, I can’t do anything risky. I hear his voice narrating my actions in a later video, and explaining how I die 💀
Edit: Glad I’m not alone guys 😂
Lol, right?!
There was a time when I USED to love camping.........
Never again! Lol
😂
@@roastedscorpion Makes camping more fun actually! Just this year my buddies and I had Mr. Ballen stories blasting on the boom box at the campfire in Allegany😂
😂😂😅😊
Hahaa... it works.😂
i’m a truck driver , and every week i wait for a new episode , but when im driving i listen to your podcast, it really helps get through the day. Hands down the best storyteller on the platform🙌
Thank you so much!!
Only problem is when u listen to them all....lol
Probably best you listen when driving❤❤❤❤❤❤ but he is a awesome story teller
Yes I do the same thing
Same
I don’t think Lee was ever going to pay the guy. That’s terrifying tbh. Listen up people, never EVER go to someone’s house if they crash into you and promise to pay you cash at their place. Trust your gut, better to just get insurance involved!! Stay safe guys
Lee going off for no reason was a GIANT red flag, and 99.999% they are ALWAYS abusive. Moon was very lucky to have found out before it got worse.
I don't know how people can look at a murderer and find them attractive. Lee, Bundy, Dahmer, etc., the minute you tell me someone's a killer, they become immediately repulsive to me. So the fact that people are still swooning over them and want to date/marry/get lucky with them is just disgusting to me.
Exactly! Reminds me of the serial killer Rodney Alcala also, he was so gross.
Oh ew, full body shudder and goosebumps from how gross he was. Dx
Haven't heard of him.@@cynthiamckenzie9986
South Korea is a country that cares way too much about looks and status.
Right.
I haven't finished watching yet, but when Mr. Ballen says someone is making a very special dinner, I wonder who's getting cooked.
Great comment 😅🏆
🤣 right?! 🤣🤘🏼
Chippys
Right!
Same, i am like " someone's head been cooked"
I’ve already heard this story, but I like hearing Mr Ballen tell the story in his own way. It makes me sad how much people will overlook someone’s cruelty based on their looks or background.
I'm not sure what the cruelty here was. The story just ended. Abruptly.
@@thepaganapostate3208did you finish watching the video?
Ikr. -- Richard Ramirez.
@@thepaganapostate3208 sigh. Okay I’ll spell it out for you because I do have time today. The guy was a grifter and conned older women into giving him everything they had, including their life savings. He basically romanced women using his good looks and then murdered them and stole their life insurance, then used their money to con more women. When the woman in this particular story found the dead taxi driver in his home, she happened to unravel his entire con story - however, when he was arrested, his picture was so good looking,
a lot of people were skeptical that he was really a con man because how can someone so good looking be a con man? And that is their vapid, superficial line of reasoning….
@@lanoosaurusrex many women are crazy, they would fangirl over any killer if they are good looking
My biggest question is why he'd ask moon to go to his apartment that had a ridiculous amount of incriminating evidence 😂 if his concern really was the animals he could've just left more food to make up for the time he'd be out.
Yeah, yeah that doesn’t add up. I would just guess he was so full of himself he thought he could get away with anything
Mr. Ballen HAS to be among the nicest RUclipsrs in existence. Past or present. Not to mention the amount of work he puts into his content! You have nothing but my utmost respect!
❤️🙏
The like button enters the chat! 🤔😂😂
@@imhimbyhimself😂😂😂😂
I agree he is but I wish he still picked out his own stories of having all these researchers. You know at least one of his researchers takes stories already done by small creators and then doesn't shout them out. Cool if it happens once but like 10 times come on now
Mr.Ballen is the horror storyteller’s Mr.Beast equivalent
Best storyteller on youtube hands down.
❤️🙏
The best storyteller on this channel is the guy from Darkness Prevails. PERIOD
Overrated.
@@11Sincere11Why are Y○U HERE then!😅
Mr Ballen- I've been Following Y○U Since 2○2○🙃 HUGE FAN from Wisconsin 🤩
I like Mr. Ballen. I am on another flight dreading the week of endless sales calls while wishing I could retire, but his stories are a pleasant distraction from the world.
Ok. I put his content on shuffle and fall asleep listening to horror. Last night I woke up in the middle of a
Story and it scared the ever loving crap out of me. I don’t even remember the story but I was scared of the dark at 43.
Omg I do this 3 times a week and now I sleep with my light on and I also take a picture underneath my bed before getting up 😅😅 the way he tells the storyline scares the crap out of me
Imagine poor Moon having to explain to her parents that she took them to dinner with a murderer. He must have been a good actor though because he seemed to have fooled a lot of people but like most of those types, they think they are so clever and do something so dumb and get caught.
So what happened? I still don't get it.
@@thepaganapostate3208 Lee had murdered his ex girlfriend and taken possession of her home and cat. He basically scammed a whole bunch of people because he wasn't rich. The night he went to dinner with Moon and her parents he got in DUI accident with a taxi driver. He didn't want to go to jail so he offered to settle it privately, lured the driver to his home and murdered him. Then he decides to use the taxi drivers bankcard and stuff to pay for the gifts for Moon. He had to buy all these roses to mask the smell of the dead body in his house but he then asks Moon to feed the cat. She has no idea where the cat food is and whilst looking for it, finds the dead body and then they find out he's some sort of serial killer.
I think that their looks play a huge role in their ability to successfully fool people aswell.
@@lochdown5509 definitely. He presented himself well and by Korean standards he was very handsome, so that may have helped him in certain situations where people would overlook strange behaviour.
I don't think he was a good actor, I think they were all just dumb.
Im a cdl instructor and listen during my lunch break. It never fails, at least 2 students from every class say they love listening to mr. ballen's stories. You definitely have a strong fan base with truckers!!
I always listen to him at lunch! A staple
I listen while driving a truck 😂
EVERYONE loves Mr. Ballen! (Strange, I was just thinking that right before I read the comment - Seriously!)
But, then again, what's not to love?? ❤
@@kellyganey5032yup I think just about everyone who has listened loves him!
I also listen to him at work, usually anytime I’m working alone on a project instead of connecting to my speaker to play music, I connect and listen to mrballen instead
Mr ballen is not only a story teller,he is also a motivation to his listeners
I can't get past the accent of the bedtime stories guy, @mrballen has a very sing-song voice, smooth and equalized, and the bedtime stories voice is sharp and brittle. I know it sounds weird, but I need that melody ❤
Im amazed how much Mrballen has grown in 3 years, spectacular storyteller

Bots are a helluva drug.
THE BEST THERE IS!!!
20 minute gang👇
@11SunTzu11 he's not a bot. Try going to one of his live events or better yet research his life and charitable organizations. He's a retired Navy Seal. A veteran. The elite. I'm Canadian and know this.
It's wild how often people will look at a (serial, especially ) killer and go, "but they're just so darn attractive, I think I'll become obsessively devoted to them!" Humans really are that shallow 🤦
Not all humans are that screwed up... those people that think like that don't even qualify as human.
Thats women for ya.
Same thing happened with Ted Bundy
@@Rigbycat123 and Robert Ramirez, and the Menendez Brothers, etc
Genuinely terrifying people think like that . If you’re attractive you live life on easy mode
LOL... Not a real picture of Lee's cat's food bowl....
My daughter just sent me a message about this really awesome channel she found on RUclips - it's Mr Ballen, she said 😁 I told her 😂😂😂😂😂 Ya think?????? I've been listening to him for 3 years, where have you been?? 😂😂😂 And then, we lol 'd each other back and forth for awhile 😊 My daughter has good taste 😊❤
I brought my daughter-in-law and son into our little cult.
Its honestly so freaking bizarre that this guy knowing all to well that he had a literal decomposing corpse just chilling in his apartment and yet still proceeded to have Moon go there to feed "his" cats... I can't help but think he had some kind of mental illness or perhaps was planning something diabolical for her.... Or he just really really wanted to get caught hah
I feel for moon, it is horrible to be lied to throughout a whole relationship.

I'm learning about monopolies and the gilded age in AP US History, and mrballen acquiring bedtime stories reminded me of horizontal integration. If mrballen becomes the monopoly of story telling I'm not complaining though!
Does anyone else watch these videos with an amazing couple just knowing in the back of your mind that it is going to end so badly for them because it’s a mrballen video?
My sympathy for her is sky high! It's so bizarre when they say, " Don't judge a book by it's cover!" And when you do leap, it's a murderer! Smh! And I'm so interested about hearing this new story, this was the greatest part, love all your channels!
Thanks for another great one, Mr. Ballen! 🙂👏👏
Soooo a skinny kim jon uun is super sexy over there???
Asian countries r so weird like that. That one guy who killed and ATE his girlfriend not only became famous but became a highly paid food critic who posed for magazine covers imitating the photos of him eating his girlfriend. This guy is worshipped for looking good and that other person was worshipped for the way he ended his family. Other countries don't have it happen in such large groups and they don't feel as strongly as they do over in Korea and Japan. It's quite wild. Amazing, smart and very polite society that has some odd quirks.
@TheCollapse410 there was the Chris dude that killed his kids and stuffed them in oil drums. He was getting love letters in prison
Yeah even though the cannibal is japanese, but in south korea this thing that they were obsessed how good looking the killer was is sort of cultural. In south korea they are obsessed with good looks, but also very certain looks to point plastic surgeries are insanely common, but then also money, and all that extremely superficial things
Hey you guys seem like you really enjoy the storytelling part of the story in the uniqueness in each story so I'm going to hit you with a recommendation. Mr. E Files he made a storytelling channel from inspiration from Mr B. Criminally underrated. You can thank me later:-)
WOW that's one crazy psycho . Moon is lucky she didn't end up missing. And you Mr.Ballen are just amazing it's never a boring uninteresting story . You are the greatest story teller I've had the total pleasure of listening to. Thank you. Hope you and your family have amazing New year.
Mr. B is the reason I don’t go camping, hiking, jogging on forest trails, or visit family at the cemetery anymore 😂 so I feel you completely. I wouldn’t want him narrarating my death either 🤣
😂
I have listened to everything Mr Ballen has ever put out that I can find and it never gets old!!! Best story teller ever!!!!
My best friend unexpectedly passed away Christmas morning and I'm not holding up well, but MrBallen is my comfort channel. I was literally heading to the MrBallen channel when this notification popped up ❤ thank you MrBallen for all you do, an amazing guy and an amazing storyteller.
I’m so sorry for your loss. 🙏❤️
@@MrBallen thank you ❤
So sorry for your loss. That's a great shock.
@@mehrimazedeh much appreciated internet friend 🙏🏼
I'm so sorry for your loss especially during Christmas. If you have faith my comfort scripture during losses is Revelations 21:4 & on. God be with you during your grieving process. ❤
He did! He finally did it! After so long he straight up said to just murder the like button! I feel complete.
Nobody ever knows that they're drunk until they stand up. Duhhhhh! Lol
Especially if they’re drinking Sou Ju, a Korean whisky your drink warm like sake!
Honestly so happy with how much your channel has grown. I still remember the time I watched your skin walker ranch video and how obsessed with your channel I became, my favorite posts were your 411 stories and how terrifying they were. I still firmly believe by the 3 stages of ballen though which is of course
Denial,acceptance and paranoia.
Hi John, Alex here. You obviously don’t know me but I’ve been a true fan of your work since the Dyatlov story days. After all these years of watching your videos, I’ve recently muscled up enough courage to start a channel myself. I first came across your videos and thought you were a remarkable storyteller. Then I watched every video you had since then and fell in admiration of your character, especially when I discovered your accomplishments in helping out the victims. Not only are you an extraordinary story teller but you’ve changed the lives of real sentient human beings which could not be more powerful. Through my amateurish 1 month of RUclips experience, I realized the ridiculous amount of grind, time and talent it takes to narrate such sensitive stories. My storytelling is nowhere near as captivating as yours but I strive to be a channel of your kind John ! If one day, somehow, I become a bigger channel, I make a pledge here in public and to myself to create authentic and transparent methods to aid victims of unfortunate tragedies, regardless of my monetary eligibility with RUclips. You are an amazing individual and obviously more than just a story teller, I strive to become a channel like yours and want to use this comment as a reminder to myself that you've changed my life trajectory for the better. Maybe the RUclips thing won’t work out, but you have changed my mindset in a permanent way.
Thank you for being you John, you're an absolute legend. I hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas ! Also this community is a LEGEND !!
How did bro write that in a minute
@@TurkeyGameZhe been saving it up for a while now
I subbed to you have a good day
dude had that copied before he commented
Pay for an ad, bud
As soon as I heard “Dec 2022” and “Korea” I knew it was going to be this story, it was mad over here in Korea. Proper messed up. I wonder if John is going to cover some more recent stories from Korea too. A load of awful instances have happened over here these last few years (well, in the past too) that have people all over the country worried, especially tutors :(
You should start your own channel and cover this. You would be perfect for that, unless you are an American living over there and are American decent. A proper Korean would be perfect to expose these stories knowing the culture, language, and all that goes along with that.
Well yea your society is depressed because they marry for money and all girls starve themselves because they think it's cute when it looks awful to be that skinny
RottenMango does stories like this about Korea,Japan,and China.
@@lelejordan09 love rotten mango with all my heart
I think he did this story specifically because it is seasonally apt and hasn’t been covered by every true crime RUclipsr. In fact I’ve never heard it before which is refreshing. You can only listen to the “Covina Christmas Massacre” of 2008 story so many times before you refuse to listen regardless how much you may like the video’s author.
We appreciate Mr Ballen's accuracy with all the details. It keeps us engaged from beginning to end.
Especially how he knows the thoughts of people he’s never met …
But they aren't accurate? He takes the details available and embellishes HEAVILY to create a story. Like, that is the whole point of this channel. He doesn't have access to crazy details no one else does, he is a storyteller and wants to keep you engaged. You can say he is entertaining, because he obviously is INCREDIBLE entertaining, but he isn't remotely "accurate". The largest part of each story is just made up.
@@Tinil0What do you mean he's not remotely accurate?
I think he covers true stories accurately with great detail.
@@marieniggenaber2605 He literally makes up the majority of the stories he tells. He consistently fills the telling with details that can't possibly be known that he invented wholecloth just to make the story better. It's not that he gets details wrong, it's that he just makes up most details.
I'm so happy you and Bedtime Stories are working together!
Happy New Year to you and yours Mr. Ballen, and to everyone watching :)
You know it’s going to be a great day when you get to hear a strange, dark, or mysterious case delivered in story format. I totally want some Mr Ballen books with all his stories
Dude, I love that you made the distinction for Korean Christmas! It's a small thing, but it's cool to hear how much research you put into your videos.
Been watching ballen for years and he’s still as great now as the first time I ever saw his videos! Captivating story teller 👌🏼 never get bored 🤙🏼❤️
Thank you!!!

Thank you for respecting "Moon". She went and i am sure it's going through a lot of emotions. Prayers she is safe and well.

Nothing is better than a horror story on boxing day
ruclips.net/video/D0-WFiTYSjA/видео.html
As an American I agree…. Mostly because I wish we had a boxing day
Happy boxing day! I loved it when I was in Canada one year for Christmas. 20 years ago I think.
What’s Boxing Day?
As an Australian.. I'm in the future.. it's Wednesday 27th here .. 😮 😂😂 life is an illusion.. I could be dead when you read this
I just called out to everyone at home as soon as I saw the notification 🤣 and everyone was like finally 😮💨, Mr Ballen you charmed my whole family , thank you sir 🙏🏽, both for your service ( I’m not American) and for the joy you bring to us your fans
Cringe
@@chugwhiskey6605 how is any of what they said cringe?
Someone is jelly 😂😂😂
Being jealous is cringe
🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
@@chugwhiskey6605it's absolutely cringe. Comments like this are so weird, and they're everywhere. I now believe it is mostly bot accounts.
And if those of you who commented don't understand how cringe worthy a comment like this is, you're probably bots too.
There are literally hundreds of comments like this in the comments section, and it's so strange.
There are always also comments about how someone's dad died, and Mr Ballen is helping to get through the situation.
They are so bizarre and overly dramatic that I can't bring myself to believe that it's actual human beings writing the comments.
Your coverage of this story was so much more entertaining than the video I saw on it previously! And I am not being critical of the other creator's work on this story -- it was very good. But Mr. Ballen has the most entertaining and attractive voice out of everyone who covers true crime or science fiction stories. Plus, he brings a great deal of humanity to the people who have suffered from these crimes and strange occurrences. God bless you and your family, Mr. Ballen, and a very merry Christmas to you all! Plus, a very happy & safe new year to each of you!
Ever since Mr. Ballen came around being a fan of the strange, dark, and mysterious delivered in story format had never been better
I'm currently deployed and your videos and podcast have become me and my wife anchor, turning ordinary phone calls into shared moments of suspense, mystery and support. Thanks for being our virtual companion during these times MrBallen.
Thank you for your service!!! Be safe!!! And listen to some of his deployment videos about troops fighting ghosts if you truly wanna be scared before bed…super creepy stories, well worth it
@@wiscored88omg that observation post in Afghanistan story. CHILLS. That was one of the first Mr Ballen vids I watched
@@kimberlyshepherd270 thank you for your support ma’am!
@@wiscored88 thanks for the support sir! And I’ll definitely will be listening/watching those videos
I wonder if he realizes just how good of a story teller he is? Its more captivating to me than watching a movie. Takes a special kinda skill. 👍🏼
Comments like this are just weird. I really like Mr Ballen, but comments like these are so weird and needy. Do you need friends or something?
Considering he's making a butt load of cash via Amazon, I think it's safe to say he knows. 🙄
So happy someone else said it. It's just so weird and cringe worthy to me seeing people say this every video. Like we all know, he knows, why keep saying it? Its literally insanity.@@bradleyboyer9979
@@bradleyboyer9979 Weird? Kind of a weird, awkward comment you made there yourself, man. You two should get together.

Thank you MrB. Happy New Year! Hope everyone had a safe and lovely Christmas too.🙏🏼🕊️💔🎉
Those poor furbabies, though.
I feel bad for the victims and their families. I am so glad Moon survived.
But those poor little furbabies....
“Exceptionally good looking”?! 😂
Not sure where Mr. Ballen got his source from, but Lee is not considered good-looking in S. Korea, let alone "exceptionally" so. Walk into any high school in Seoul, and you'll find plenty of guys who look like Lee. He's a dime a dozen.
@@MissHomer yeah, I was stationed in Korea, he doesn’t look noticeably different than any other Korean dude! I guess it’s subjective.
Wow, this story had me guessing until the end, when my mouth was like this 😮as I gasped. It’s so unbelievable, especially the reaction from the public. It just goes to show that being physically attractive gives you all kinds of advantages, including people adoring you even though you’re a deranged murderer.
@@michellemosevich ...Did you watch the rest of the video? The skin walker thing was just a short ad. The story continues after that.
@@animedoggies101 oh ok thank u no I didn't watch the rest I got mad lol when it started talking about skin walkers,I thought the end got cut off

Always super cool stories. You have been an excellent companion to me since the "pandemic" lock outs here in Mexico. Thank you and blessings
Thank you Mr.Ballen for this strange, dark and mysterious holiday special. Happy holidays everyone!
happy holidays friend!
Happy holidays! And hey check out Mr. E Files and thank me later 😆
So glad that “Moon” didn’t end up like the others! I feel so bad for her. I hope she found some peace and found someone worthy to be with. Also, I’ve heard of the Skinwalker ranch but didn’t know much about it. Thanks for another addiction! 😊
Hi 👋. I follow this paranormal channel called Twin Paranormal (my #1 and the best in the field 💯) and they did an investigation at Skin walker ranch. If you are interested in that kind of stuff I think you would like it.
@@kimberlyshepherd270Thanks! 😊
@@kariblackwood5811 if that's you in ur pfp, you're hella beautiful
I thought of the Bedtime Stories video about the Skinwalker Ranch as soon as Mr. Ballen mentioned the ranch. (Their video about the ghosts at Kedena Air Base, Okinawa, was special to me because I went to nursery school there in 1958-1959 -- before the murders that started the haunting, though.)
Im very relax whenever I hear your voice while you are telling true stories. More power to this channel.😊😊😊
Mr.Ballen is handsdown, THE BEST storyteller, EVER! Randomly scrolling throigh youtube videos, and came across Mr.Ballen few years back, and been a fan since. Thank you for all the amazing stories and keeping us entertained, shocked, sad, and happy. Merry Christmas and happy new years🙏🫶☃️❄️🎁😇🩵
Check out Mr. E Files he's my new 2nd favorite! He's just like ballen!
It is hard to listen to Mr Ballen, and not come up with irrational fears
I'm commenting just 10 minutes into the vid. I'm thinking if you're alone in an apartment with a bunch of cats and you can't find any cat food maybe you ARE the cat food.
Love his stories so much. But haven’t watched him in forever cause ik I’ll freak myself out. Been a year and I’m back!
Nah there are more Dangerous things
The only irrational fear I picked up was my weapons not being where they were supposed to be after that serial killer episode that would target, stalk and break in before the murders to unload guns and move other weapons. Now I check to see if my bed knives are in place and not tampered with every night before bed.
@@borntoclimb7116:
Like being allergic to death.
I really love your narration and presentation style ❤ I catch your videos and love listening to the episodes on spotify at bedtime helps soothe the soul
I have questions, did I miss something? Why did he ask Moon to come to his apt to feed the cats? Where was he and what was he doing while she was there in his apt? Did he plan to also kill her in his apartment and just wasn’t there when she arrived? Had she never been to his apartment before? That’s odd that he never invited her there before but she had a key. Can someone please explain? It’s like that part of the story was missing. Thanks to anyone who reads and comments on the questions!
i was wondering this too!!
Same
? It was literally said at 7:15 out loud that he invited her to feed his cats because he would be too busy with preparations for Christmas dinner.
It’s not said she’s never been at the apartment, only said she never knew where the cat food was. She could’ve visited before easily, it’s just that she looked all around for pet food.
@@twilightshine5264 that's supposition. It's still an odd scenario
@@karmicpopcorn6440 what exactly is odd in what scenario?
7:06 love the fact that you explain the difference between this stuff unlike other narrators on RUclips. Because it helps out understand the story the the fullest extent.
I only found MrBallen about 2 and a half months ago, and already a big fan and lots of binge watching videos of the strange, dark, and mysterious.
and "strangely" I found MrBallen just before starting a channel about real life stories about heroes. John totally confirmed that it might be a good idea to give it a try.
Check out Mr. E Files, you'll thank me later lol
It only takes once to get hooked. 😂
that's exactly what happened. lol@@Paperscrapper
Love binge watching the channel Thank You for the amazing channel ice been a huge fan for several years now. Have a blessed day everyone
Every time I see someone else tell a story you have told , I am thankful I have gotten to hear it from an incredible story teller first . 😊
Thanks for your years of dedication to your stories, watching new uploads are some of the best times of the week!
I remember listening to you in 2020, and oh how far you've come is spectacular! You were good at story telling back then but are absolutely amazing and very professional now , you and your team are really doing a phenomenal job so keep up all the good work! 😊 The only thing I can say I miss is "3, 4, even FIVE times every week" lol the good ol'days 😂
Those were my favorite days, too. 5 times a week!! Wow 😮
🥲 It still feels weird hearing 1 time a week.
Hey you guys seem like you really enjoy storytelling and the uniqueness in each story so I'm going to hit you with a recommendation. Mr. E Files made a storytelling channel bcuz of Mr B. He's Criminally underrated. Thank me later:-)
Mr ballen was NOT full of himself, he was very humble, he was kind and polite and he had a total soft spot for the strange, dark and mysterious and he was an incredible storyteller😂😂
Why are you saying it in past tense
Happy New Year to you Mr Ballen and team, I love your stories and look forward to watching and learning more x
I stumbled upon this channel during pandemic and awesome to see how much it has grown, Amazing storytelling, keep it up Mr. Ballen!
Ty for your service S.E.A.L Ballen BMF
Hey you guys seem like you really enjoy storytelling and the uniqueness in each story so I'm going to hit you with a recommendation. Mr. E Files made a storytelling channel bcuz of Mr B. He's Criminally underrated. I'm tellin ya!
Wasn't expecting Mr Ballen to upload... it's the best after Christmas video to relax and watch 🙏
Mrballen is literally the best story teller I've ever seen in my life....
I'm literally addicted to his videos at this point... I just love his videos ♥️✨
As a Korean, I was shocked by the last part of the story. While this case is well-known to us, I've never heard that people liked him because of his appearance. In fact, he's not particularly good-looking. I'm questioning the accuracy of the information presented in the last part of the story. Additionally, I'm concerned about the potential negative implications it could have about Korean. Please double-check the facts and ensure accuracy
MrBallen is my comfort zone. I listen to your stories everyday and never get tired of them! ❤
From Elite navy operator to your in depth storytelling you are carrying and redefining the storytelling genre singlehandedly thank you for existing MrBallen
You should check out Mr. E Files. He is now my second favorite Storyteller he is just like ballen
Love your videos. Binge watched most of your videos. Thank you and your team for these videos.
Wow I just watched a video from three years ago and it was still awesome but wow Mr Ballen you have come a long way in your story telling you are the bomb. I love listening to these stories and you have the perfect storytelling voice and way of doing it and always been good but I can just see how much you have transformed from 3 years ago. You rock love your channel!
Another year of incredible improvements!! We’re all so incredibly proud of you!! Thank you for all that you do, I hope 2024 is even better for you!! ❤
Thank you!!

I found this channel at one of my lowest points and as silly as it sounds your uploads are one of the things that's ha e like kept me going and hearing your story also encouraged me to get help. Thank you for all you do and all your crew does as well ❤
This has to be a bot, right? These comments are so weird, and they're all over the place.
How would a RUclips channel that tells stories about mysteries make you realize you need to get help? It's so weird. Do you have friends? Family? Do you ever get out of your house?
@@bradleyboyer9979
Wow. You're a dick. I didn't say the story's he tells. His story about himself getting help. I wasn't actually leaving because of how bad my depression had been, and looking forward to something I was able to get enjoyment out of benefitted me. Sorry that you have this wonderful life that's been so easy but not everyone has that and telling someone that the work they do is so good and wonderful that it makes you look forward to it when not much gets you feeling that way anymore seems like a normal ass comment to me. I guess your parents never taught you this but if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. Have a great day! 😘
@bradleyboyer9979 so idk why you think this is a bot comment. Bot comments are so generic, very short, and often are just tag line style phrases. The accounts are often plain first names with a number. This comment comes up for one becaus people love this channel and the man who runs it. Second these comments are due to Mr.ballens personal story and his issues dealing with mental health. He promoted better health for a very long time by using his own real story and unique style to share very personal life issues to his audience. A lot of people resonated with that which has been stated and appreciated by mr.ballen himself many times. I'd ask you why someone giving thanks for helping them through rough times is fake to you? Maybe you've had an easy go in life or your just ignorant to the real world. Often times it can be as simple as saying hello and how are you to someone struggling to help them get through the day. Your looking in the wrong comment section for bots and your bot detector is trash.

I veg on your video stories 😊.
You have a very calming voice gentle,soft.
I have depression and anxiety that I deal with.
When I start to feel really down on myself I'll just start listening to the videos and after about an hour I start feel a lot better.
So I really just wanted to say thank you 😊🎉
I'm so happy that you are funding other creators to be able to tell their stories too. I have mad respect for you dude. I just finished all of your RUclips videos and Podcast episodes (which I HIGHLY recommend to those who haven't listened to them already) and I'm on my way to listen to Run Fool and Bedtime stories! Thank you so much for all you do, you've really kept me sane through so many hard times and kept me genuinely entertained and intrigued while I did various things throughout the day. I wish you nothing but absolute happiness for all that you've done and continue to do. :D

@@enzop2835 no you 😈
@@tastyxtoast_ OK, bot 🤣
@@enzop2835 ok child 😂
@tastytoast3869 Stop D riding and find individuality...bot 😂
I’ve been watching your videos for more than a year now. Since then, I remember and actively avoid situations that could land me in one of your videos. So I guess Thank You 🙏
I watched some of your old vids and you were always good, but you’ve gotten better and smoother at telling these stories❤
As they say, practice makes perfect.
Best commercial ever. I’m excited to download Bedtime Stories. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Mr. Ballen! Thanks for all the entertainment over the last year!!!
Mr. Ballen could read a menu and make it strange, dark, and mysterious.😎
Have you checked out Mr. E Files yet, he's just like ballen and now my 2nd favorite storyteller
As far as the Skinwalker Ranch shoutout, my mom grew up 30 minutes from the ranch, and it was crazy where she was too. She and members of her family saw UFO’s, which was the least creepy things that went on there.
Interesting. Can you elaborate on what was even more crazy?
I saw a shadow figure who morphed from a humanoid to a one with bat like wings

I love listening to Mr Ballen with my family, , we learn English . hello from Asia.
I chill and listen to these stories you don't need pictures, he's very good at explaining the sonaro ❤
This story gives me a huge fear vibe especially when Mr Ballen explained how Moon enter the apartment and the atmosphere of it. As always Mr.Ballen, you get a W again in storytelling
Nothing better for the post holiday blues than a new Mr. Ballen telling the true stories of strange dark and mysterious. Lvya all much
I hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas Mr.Ballen 🎄🎁❤️
I started watching your videos back in 2020. Back when you uploaded 3, 4 or even 5 times a week. Plus the race of looking for the hidden secret and being the first to comment when and where it was. Good memories. I'm glad you are still making videos.
Mr ballen has just enhanced our Christmas holiday. This episode is gonna be nice to enjoy with the family. Happy holidays everyone ❤️
He's right the devil doesn't take holidays he takes vacations at his beach house and sleeps in his chair while he ruins the country he steals from
Yes
happy holidays to you too!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AS WELL!!

I luv listening and learning about skinwalker ranch!!! It fascinates me it's just so crazy. I remember 1 of the very 1st videos I watched of your was talking about there
Bless you and your new little family
What a crazy video. I hope Moon and her family are okay from this wild experience with Lee. Thank you for creating entertaining and amazing content. Hope you had a great Christmas Day! God bless you, your family, and the work that you do🙏
Finally a comment about the video's content itself rather than seeing the endless list of seemingly bot-like generic praise comments. Don't get me wrong, I love this channel and how he tells stories, but it seems like a rarity to see people actually discuss the content in the video.
Moon's lucky she didn't become his third murder victim though.
@@copenormcbrokelegsproperra2909 Or 4th. I find it hard to believe he had nothing to do with the missing woman when he also had her phone.

Love you Mr Ballen. A Christmas themed story from YOU is probably the best gift I’ve gotten this season!! Thank you from your Strange Dark and Mysterious family and friends!!!
As far as I know, the stories that Mr Ballen tells actually happened. This is not a Christmas horror story from the pen of a Hollywood film scriptwriter. This is reality.
Two people really have been cruelly murdered. And the young woman was lucky that she didn't become the next murder victim.
