☠︎ Found the secret easter egg in today's video? Be the 1st to comment what it is and where it occurs in the video, and you will get pinned!! ☠︎
A ghost at 4:21
well done! you found the secret!!
Damn, you're fast
Ghost: * Swings chain to attract Frank deeper into the mine *
Frank: * Leaves *
Ghost: Wait, that's illegal!
AND ALSO I GO TO ANOTHER TAB WHILE HEARING SO I NEVER GET THE SECRET:)+:(
Now sub mmee 😶😶
I don't watch the video.
I listen to them.
Ok
I didn't even leap to "GHOST!" when I watched the video. He saw footprints at the entrance. For me, my first thought on seeing that chain swinging was "There's someone else in the mine." A person is way more threatening than a ghost and even more concerning when said person is apparently living in an old abandoned mine.
This was my thought as well.
Don't wanna mess with mine dwellers!
Yes that's what I think
Ghosts are people though??? "A person is way more threatening than a ghost" doesn't make much sense. Considering that a ghost is just a person. Little different from you or me.
@@callumkristofer7793 I've never seen a ghost try stabbing me in the face though.
Ghost: * Swings chain to attract Frank deeper into the mine *
Frank: * Leaves *
Ghost: Wait, that's illegal!
My dumbass would continue going
Frank is a absolute Genius
Kalutex 😂😂😂
@@donjon123 and then you'd become another Mr.Ballen video
🤣😂🤣😂
I just appreciate that Frank saw something out of place in this strange, dark, isolated location and immediately decided he wanted none of it. This was the safest way he could have wound up in a Mr. Ballen video 😂
I was thinking the same thing 🤣 especially all those super sketchy cave diving gone wrong videos that seem to start the same way “i know i should turn back now… but…”
He really said “not today satan” 😂
Yes!😂@@lizvanderstel2953
he was right to follow his instincts and get out! i’ve been wondering if the swinging chain may have been caused by a magnetic force or, like a pendulum, it could have been under the force of gravity. it’d be interesting to go back to that mine and see if the chain is still swinging back and forth.
he faked it duuuuuuuuh
If he saw footprints, there very well could have been someone living or, at least, hiding in the mine. The swinging chain may not have started swinging right when the light shined on it, the person having moved away before Frank looked that way, but the inertia of the chain persisted. It's not the only chain swinging, either; there is one even closer to Frank. I genuinely think there was someone else in that cave and they did not want Frank to stumble upon them. It's honestly scarier than any "ghost" in my mind. I don't particularly want to meet the kind of person who skulks in an abandoned mine.
Or if you’re a pessimist, the footsteps were his, he moved the chain before filming, which would also explain why we never heard the chains clink if this was someone bumping them in reaction to his presence
It is too stranded for homeless. If there is a person he would hear him. Since he is alive something probably just wanted to scare him off from what lied ahead...
Came here to say this. Similar thing happened to me in a large public park. There was a kind of remote area I liked to go near the water, but being remote it was hard to get to. So I was disappointed when I got there only to see someone else already there, except instead of hanging out looking at the water normally, when I arrived they immediately slipped into the reeds and went completely quiet. I could now only see their shoes. I think they thought I hadn't and couldn't see them. Those shoes didn't move. Now I can understand putting some vegetation between you and others when you're enjoying nature. But then the shoes would be moving. Walking, or twitching or tapping or adjusting themselves slightly on the ground - not staying rigidly still while the person they are attached to makes no sound. But like i said, I really wanted to have the spot, so at first my brain was slow to adjust and I thought I'd hang out and see if I could make them choose to leave first. But the shoes stayed totally still. The person stayed totally quiet. And as a few minutes passed like this, I realized that if it was that important to them not to be seen, maybe i didn't want to see them either, and it was time to go.
And of course, someone walking on the muddy ground, and moving around doing all this stuff was able to do so without making any sounds whatsoever? And you would know for a fact the footprints were made that very day instead of a week or two ago or longer Sherlock? As I posted earlier, if someone goes into the mine a month after Frank, and sees Frank's footprints, then that means Frank is still in the mine a month later? You come to all of your conclusions based upon the fact that Frank simply said he saw footprints? Also, a mine and a cave are not the same thing.
@@glennpuckett9746 they thought that because the chain was moving, and the chain wouldn’t stay moving for a month
Frank: sees chain swinging in cave (he though he was alone in
*frank leaves*
Be more like frank
Frank put generic sounds from Halloween soundbite site, don't be like frank.
cuz it was a red flasg
Why? I would not even consider being like Frank. Running away from something that can't hurt you is a weak way to go thru life. Confront the unknown and make it known. Knowledge is power...running away from a non life threatening situation is not. Don't be a pussy, don't be a Frank. Tons of rock could collapse on him while in a cave and yet he is afraid of a moving chain🤔🤔 VERY SUSPICIOUS.
He moved the chain himself. Mr. Ballen conveniently left out the "creepy" noises that frank put in the video later on. Frank does stay and explores more. At one point he "hears" creepy noises, but those noises are from a stock library. The video is entirely fake. As for the reason he did it. It could be for fun, it could be an attempt ay going viral. Who knows? Mr Ballen's evidence is flimsy.
Why cant we all be like that wise ol' Frank
I don't think he's lying. I think he was genuinely shocked and spooked by that chain swinging. The big teller for me is, he went quiet. Completely quiet. Throughout the video he says nothing about ghosts or haunting or anything. He's not even creeped out by the weird entrance. And then even when he does get spooked, he doesn't make a sound. Just makes the statement "I don't know why that chain is swinging" and then turns the camera off and books it. No other comment, nothing. I honestly think that kind of thing is pretty geniune.
Yep i agree with you. There are many strange things that happen that cannot be easily explained.
Stick to doing your nails and putting make-up on honey you clearly don't know how it all works.
(just kidding for all easily triggered people!)
@@garybuttherissilent5896 ahahah ur comment. So simple yet genuinely and unnecessarily mean.
The lady explicitly wrote that her comment represents what she THINKS. In 2021. Year in which every tard like you wants to impose his opinion on the rest of the world.
Just try to calm down and start coping with your frustration.
Edit: She proposed a technical analysis I found relevant and interesting.
I agree. I think he was honestly trying to figure out what was causing it to swing and when he couldn't come up with a logical answer, he Scooby-Doo'd it out of there.
magnectic fields are also a thing.
His reaction was very genuine. He didn't hype anything up prior, and aside from a matter-of-fact statement and a quick exit, he barely reacted to the incident itself
Imagine how terrifying it would be if you entered the mine and the entrance collapsed, trapping you inside. Those videos where people get stuck in caves are terrifying. And the notion of being trapped in a haunted cave is about as terrifying as it gets.
watch "as,above so below " great moive
@@Aliabas-ts1ck or "the descent"
Frank has a passion for exploring abandoned mines
Despite this, he knows his limits and is always cautious enough to leave when something is amiss
Frank is smart.
Be like Frank.
yess
He also faked couple of his videos, including this one. @MrBallen should delete this video.
Hes a damn legend lets be Frank

“I don’t like how that chain is swinging” *turns around and leaves* this dude is a genius
Edit: I feel that it’s necessary to point out that it might not be anything paranormal. It could be something as simple as a small animal or even someone who was with frank. The point of the matter is that this guy would survive in the plot of a horror movie.
most people will see it and be like oh thats cool ima go further in and then all the sudden there gone
😂
@@z1o9s7o3 That only happens in horror movies. Real people make the right decision.
@@_mobasshir_ Then why does this channel cover so many stories of people dying from foolish decisions?
This man will outlive us all
I think after you experience a paranormal event, it changes how you perceive things especially if you're out exploring mines.
I agree. I had a supernatural experience about 8 years ago that gave me almost like ptsd for a few years. It made me question reality. I still think about it often.
Yup, most definitely.
Absolutely! My stepson/best friend contacted me through my mom's cell phone. Blew my freaking mind. It changed my life. It gave me a completely different perspective on the after life.
I disagree. I don't understand why people immediately jump to the supernatural when they lack an actual explanation.
First of all, appealing to the supernatural to fill in the blanks does not actually fill in any blanks, it raises many more questions and answers none.
Secondly, it's incredibly lazy and prevents you from looking for an actual answer.
"Must've been supernatural" is always a bullshit explanation.
@@Mastermirror89 Careful. Unlike you think, you're showing your lack of intelligence.
multiple logical conclusions to pick from:
1: the chains are hanging from some kind of frame that's become twisted and thus the twisted segment would move more than other places. (supporting evidence: nearby chains are swinging too but farther away they're not)
2: hills have eyes, he was almost eaten and a cannibal missed a meal. (he saw footprints)
3: Bat. They fly and hit things. Bats. (they're usually in a cave and they look bitchin with chains)
This dude would totally survive a horror movie. In a way he did.
Except all the zombies outside the cave are returning after feasting and Frank has no exit. Let's hope they're full.
There would be no horror movie with the way he acted lol. #belikefrank
Dude bounced 5 minutes in to act 1. He's the guy who comes back with the cops to rescue everyone else. Franks an S tier character
this was supposed to be a horror movie in an alternate universe , but Frank ended it in the opening scene before the ghost got him and the title sprang up across the screen in oozing red letters
so would you as this only happens in movies and never real life,trust me your safe as ghosts and paranormal activity is only believed by the gullible
Ghost waves chain.
Frank leaves immediately.
Ghost: "He... he didn't wave back..." 🥺💔
Your thoughts are very cute!
Poor little ghost 👻❤
You made something scary into sad
😂😂
It's the ghost of a chain
I saw this original footage when released BUT to hear MrBallen tell it is must for me and certainly didn’t disappoint as usual sir- Kudos brother!!
This feels so much more explainable as someone else being in the cave with him especially since he saw footprints on his way in
Honestly, when he turned around and shown his flashlight into the cave I expected the reveal was going to be someone else was there acting creepy. A swinging change is a little "meh" to me. I'm sure very creepy in the moment but not all that hard to explain.
I thought the same thing!!! But, I don't think this is a hoax at all. The poor guy doesn't deserve all that hate. Besides, if you look at the puddle of water as you're looking at the moving chain, the puddle is undisturbed. No footprints or water movement.
Also, if you look at the top of that specific chain it appears to go up into a hole, almost like a makeshift well of some kind. Could have been used to lower water or tools, easy to have a friend above swinging the chain
I swear you took the words right out of my mouth,the minute he mentioned footprints,I didn't think ghost,I thought ghoul or something very different from us down there and whatever it was,it brushed against the chains as it tried to get out of franks sight line. I still think that's what really happened.
Yeah, or an animal. If you look actually several of the chains were swaying just not as dramatically. Made me thig of an animal running past a few of them but accidentally bumping into another one. But yeah, probably a homeless person or a drug addict, or a mobster getting rid of a body. Plenty of reasons for someone to be in a mine, and when you do 300 videos of going down mines, odds are eventually you'll enter one with someone else in it.
The good news for Frank was that he was really close to the entrance when he saw the swinging chain(s). Imagine being a mile in and 500 feet down, alone in the dark and seeing that!
OR the swinging chain is between you and the exit!
Luckily it’s not a demon or something like that there only a chain luckily he left
EEK!
It’s all fake so it wouldn’t have made a difference
I will not try to imagine that
"And as Frank went deeper and deeper into the mine, he suddenly heard way out into the distance even deeper in the mine, "I FOUND BELL'S CANYON!"
Lol
😂😂
This should be top comment! 😂
Omg I would have sh*t my pants 🤣😂🤣😂
From another vid a guy wanted to know where bells canyon was I think
I love your storytelling. Taking a chance on letting everyone know how old I am, when I was a kid, the only entertainment we had was radio. There were several scary shows like Lights Out and The Shadow Knows that we would listen to. No video, no TV, no movies… Just storytelling. It was great and your stories take me back to those times. I don’t even need to watch your videos to enjoy the stories.
It was before my time, but I do remember something like "Who knows what evil lurks in the (something something). The shadow knows!"
"Who knows what evil lurks in the minds of men? The Shadow knows."
How old are you 80s?
@@bcbp14 I'm 69
@@glennpuckett9746 that's not old.
Seen the youtube short and didn't remember him going in any farther and hearing whispering so you got me since I watched this video lol.
Makes it more believable when he noped out of there... When you run into the paranormal that is real that is usually what you do.
Grew up on a very haunted property deep in the woods. It was not fun or exciting. It was terrifying and I was afraid to be alone or go to sleep... That's how it really is.
I know this is kinda weird but I appreciate it when he puts real photos and even converts the feet into meters
*Damn right the entrance to that Horton Mine is strange... it looks like a big ol’ stanky heinie-hole!*
How in the fuck is that weird?
Dude we are all weird that’s why we are on this channel!
I’ve been seeing people comment this on his videos for a while lol I appreciate it too
Not weird at all. I appreciate it too.
"Sees swinging chain"
Frank: Not today Satan.

Hi red flag?
Bye red flag!
Hahahaha good one
Satan: aw man!
Satan gets scares when he goes to Frank's place
His other two are about 1000% scarier than the swinging chain. The voices when he says I don’t know if those are birds or snakes? And then when he heard the mine come alive & multiple people speaking over loud speakers. Those two are leagues ahead of a swinging chain that surely didn’t make my skin crawl.
Links to those?

I've been stuck in the hospital for days. Thanks to your channel I'm still sane. Thanks to your team for the content.
man fuck the psych ward bro
I would be less afraid of a ghost swinging that chain and more afraid of a psychopath with a rusty knife getting THAT close to me without me knowing. Ghosts aren’t scary. Sociopaths who hang out in abandoned mines are terrifying. The knowledge that someone is in there with him and he doesn’t know who they are or why they’ve concealed themselves is brilliantly dreadful.
i agree
Except no one is going to hang around in a cave with a knife jus waiting for there next victim to stroll in

This is the definition of terror. Ungodly fear of the unknown that makes you tear up.

As an Englishman and proud of our language I am still impressed with how Americans use it so colourfully. 'virality' and "was the juice worth the squeeze?" thank you Mr Ballen for great content and vernacular enjoyment. Spooky? Come to Cheddar Gorge (where Cheddar cheese was invented and still stored there) in the South West of England and you will experience spooky 😱😱
🇬🇧😀👍
Alan, tell us a story about Cheddar Gorge!
Dude immediately leaves after having a slightest clue of something weird happening.
If that's not real, what is???
It's not real. Look up the debunking of it. He added soundbites in post. The exact soundbite he used has been found.
He didn’t want to find out!
@@Logan_93 you going to share with the class or nah?
My ex wife would want to go into all these creepy spots in Upstate NY. We would see evidence of people living in dilapidated old war structures. I'd just look at her and go, "nah... I'm too Black for that, I'm out"
@@handsomezack2054 Yup! True that!
I spent 15 years as a coal miner and I have a story that I think you'd really like. A miracle happened during a cave in where three of us were buried under tons of coal and rock. One single timber broke in half as the roof came in and fell against the machinery creating a pocket just big enough to allow us to survive. There's much more to the story but that's the basics.
Yikes! Glad you guys made it out alright!!
I think I saw a RUclips video on this!!!!
You may have seen either Surviving Wilburg, a documentary on the mine fire disaster that happened there or maybe the Crandall canyon disaster footage. The incident with me took place across the valley and a year after Crandall Canyon. Same type of thing just not on as large a scale as Crandall. The bounces we experienced would register as high as 5.3 on Utah's seismic readings and we were at the epicenter.
Dang dude, glad you made it out!
Glad you made it out. I couldn’t imagine being in that situation. Have you ever told your story anywhere?
Great episode! I love exploring old mines in Arizona and have never ran across anything paranormal. I did find a very ill-tempered badger in one once, but that was it. The swinging chain could have been caused by a minor earthquake. But, only another nearby chain was affected, so... Definitely creepy. Only discovered Mr. Ballen a couple of weeks ago, but as a former squid and lover of the paranormal, I am hooked!
i watch a lot of his exploration videos from time to time, there was one video he posted quite a while back that was just a regular run-of-the-mill mine video.
it looked like someone else was in there with him ( not just his friend ), the best way I can describe it is, that he looks up into a winze and talks about the history and some of the terms used, and about halfway into it, I noticed something move around he and his friend couldn't go up to the level winze was connected to because it had been blocked off or the ladder was too "Sketchy"
I had just chalked it up to it being an animal until it melted into the darkness. ( I wanna see if i can find that video again )
It was about a 20 or 30 minute video, but it happens near the start of it, and he doesn't notice it, the whole video is just him exploring the mine and its chambers
If something feels off, listen to that feeling. It's your sub conscious picking up subtle hints that something is wrong before your conscious does.
If you notice the swinging chain swings the same distance every time - so it was swinging beforehand
@@dannyboy8474 what?
ruclips.net/video/naIEpELSgAM/видео.html
Maybe he knew it was off because it was fake.... lol
@@huntclanhunt9697 They are claiming the chain never lost any momentum so when it was swinging it always swung the same distance instead of slowly losing part of it's distance as it goes back and forth until it stops.
Could he have walked in to his own death?
His reaction seems extremely realistic to me. I’ve had some weird experiences in my life and I’ve reacted like that too. You just stop, look at the thing, trying to figure it out, considering if it’s dangerous, and then you either leave or move on with a pounding heart and lingering anxiety. No wonder he went looking for it afterwards. You get curious after an experience like that. It’s a mix of being scared but also wanting to see more because it would validate your previous experience. That and of course hoping to catch it on tape for views.
I can totally relate!
There's another video of his that was proven to be a hoax (he added whispering and spooky sounds from a sound clip that can be found in RUclips) and he was equally convincing in his reaction on that fake one, so I wouldn't believe him based on his reaction alone.
That's a good point. A lot of people become interested in the paranormal after they have an experience for themselves.
I agree, but look at the other chains on the left. They are barely swinging, so it makes me think he could have bumped them while going down there to swing that chain. I'm not saying it's a hoax, but it easily could be. It could also be compounded minute seismic activity, but my money is on hoax if I had to bet
Oh yeah. I remember hearing this really weird noise on the woods. Freaked me and my brother out but we followed it anyway. Turned out it was a bird called the ruffled grouse that was making that wierd noise.
Another time I was hiking and I felt like I was being watched. Everything went silent and me and my dog just looked around figuring out what was wrong and that's when I saw this wierd looking deer so I emediatly left the area. It was probably just a sick deer and a couger or something was stalking it but that too would be terrifying to have a couger pounce on you.
I used to watch Franks videos before the Horton Mine video, I never expected them to start turning paranormal. He was always level headed, he seemed genuinely spooked in the Horton vid.
I didn't knew who he was before YT suggested the video.
I didn't saw anything paranormal.
(Kind of hard to see something that doesn't exist)
This is why you never go to a dark and scary place alone. It would have been so much less terrifying with company.
I like how unlike movie/game protagonists he does the logical thing and as soon as he notices something weird no talking no bs bolts out of there like any normal person would.
Just letting people know this is fake. The guy himself is even know for falsely flagging videos critiquing him.

All the more reason to believe that he would not do something to tarnish his credibility. I have never seen the man's channel but all I hear of it is fact based and educational. Top tier comment.
I love MrBallen using the term “violently” to describe vacuuming.
He's so funny! I don't know how he said and did that without laughing. I bet it took a few takes.
😂
🤣🤣🤣
Stuffs spooky
Oh my God yes me too LOL
I’m glad this man finally got famous. He seems so sweet cause no matter if there were 10 views or 10 mil he still did what he loved
No he’s not sweet, DO YOU SEE WHAT HE DOES TO THE LIKE BUTTON
@@jaccocu7213 fr😂😂😂😂
ikr i find that so cute and wholesome hahahah
Yes it takes passion to go into those dark scary caves! I'm glad too, that he's getting recognition & hopefully some financial gain out of it 😊
I came to the comments hoping to see fellow Frank appreciators and I'm happy to have looked lol Frank will never get the respect/glory he should receive for his dedication to his documentation in all the wild places he's been. Does my heart good to see im not the only one here who lit up a little when we seen the screenshot lol All Y'all know you did, too! 🤣
i've unfortunatly saw a video about this footage, but your narration made it worth watching it another time
I would be petrified and wouldn’t even be able to move back from fear! He has insane courage!
I can't tell if Frank would die immediately or a little later in a horror film. I mean, he's exploring these old, hazardous mines by himself. But he noped out as soon as the spooks started
Probably the bloke who died first in the prologue and trigger the very thing that start the horror.
He seems like the expected easy target for a stupid kill but just nope out of there the moment things feel off(and is the audience are yelling at the screen to get outta there), and that “nope I’m out” reaction is something the movie kind of plays off for a laugh before starting the crap outta us, whether it be him still ending up dead or it cuts the antagonist surprise killing someone else
Frank would live. It's always gradual in the movies. So frank would, in my mind,have a chance to nope tf out.
Either he's the "mystery disappearance" or he's the expert in the group who dies from helping someone or getting stuck after everyone panics later in the movie
Probably would die at the start like the first guy to reply said or the one that gets lucky.
FUN FACT: The other end of this mine is located in Bell's Canyon.
😂😂😂
Hahahaha!
@good one no.
😂
And once you get into Bells Canyon if you turn at false square rock you end up ultimately chased from Bells Canyon by a creepy weirdo into Bamboo valley.
First time I've seen one of your videos. Halfway through, I " liked", subscribed and clicked " all". Great video. Great content. Great narration. I'm hooked. Thank you 😊😊😊💙🤍💜🌟⭐✨
I keep ending up watching your videos no matter how many times I say I'm going to find something new to watch.. keep up the good work
I've done a couple ghost hunts now...but I don't know how I would react to turning and seeing a swinging chain in a place where I was by myself...that's terrifying
I wanna be in a old haunted building while ghost hunters and when there talking to the ghosts asking like are you still here or whatever I'ma be like yes and pop out unexpectedly and scare em all for a second
ooooOOoooOooOoo it’s a chaiiiin
rumor has it ebenezer Scrooge haunts this cave.
Absolutely terrifying
I would start swinging my own chain like whatever you can do I can do better Mr.ghost 😆😆😆
I guarantee a bit further down that mine there was some junkie shooting heroin or something lol
@@CitizenSnips69 he did say he saw foot prints.... dont need the damn scoobie doo gang for that one
This is the perfect "if people in horror movies acted like actual people with a brain" story
That mine channel is a scam. All the paranormal sounds he uses are easily found audio samples that he puts over his videos and then plays the part of being surprised. There are videos debunking him on youtube and show the exact things he does
@@em4703 Well no s it! The paranormal does not exist. What does this have to do with the 300+ normal videos and the swinging chain video? Good for him for being a clever business man after that video went viral. lol People who believe in the paranormal are gullible morons. Normal people's minds will go to "there was someone else in that mine and Frank got lucky he wasn't murdered by some creepy".
@@em4703 did you even watch the video
@@Bigcheese1334 Have you? Did you check the other videos he mentioned? That guy is just doing the "paranormal" videos here and there for clout, and if you mention that he's faking them with x y and z he bans you, he uses cheap sound effects from packs that you can easily find. He didn't even bother to pre-record something unique to put over the video to make it more "real".
@@em4703 So you think he faked the chain movement scene too?
I've already seen this video, when it first came out actually (because I always watch MrBallen's videos as soon as he posts lol) and I've already seen it before then too, but this video is so convincing that it's real, it just blows me away. I don't think that Frank altered this video in any way, whether that means adding sounds or special effects, so it's very unsettling what happens to him. He even tries to explain it away as birds or snakes making noises when it's very obviously people whispering. Ughhh... It still gives me chills thinking about it!
Oooph seeing that chain made my entire body go into goosebumps and tears came to my eyes, I've genuinely never felt so unsettled. Like my brain instinctively knew something bad was there and just full flight moded.
come on people its just a scared probably shy little bat 😂
"I don't know why that one chain is swinging, back there"
man I see that I'm beating Usain Bolt out that cave
😂
Nah let’s check it out 💁♀️
He was out of breath in the video because he made the change swing then ran to the entrance to record it no other way around it sorry mate
@@OgGuak420 I like the way you think, definitely possible.
Stg 😂
“It just didn’t feel like the juice was worth the squeeze…” - what a fantastic metaphor, gonna use that one
Someone's never watched "The Girl Nextdoor". Which is totally cool, but you should :D
Yeah it's a first for me too I liked it
It's a variation on 'The game's not worth the candle'
@@Cameraman61 Variation was needed apparently because if somebody said what you just typed I'd be nodding my head but not having the faintest clue to what your trying to say lol Im not a smart person though so i spend most of my time doing this anyways but still,, it's nice to win one every once in a while
Been around for awhile lol that metaphor
I was a subscriber on Frank's channel when that was originally uploaded - in fact I'm surprised I don't have a comment on that video. It's definitely a memorable piece of content, if it's real or not only Frank knows but for sure he didn't swing the chain himself BUT if he faked it for entertainment value, it would have been somebody else with him. The thing that leads to suspicion more than anything in that context would be the slowness of the camera movements to allow another person to get out of the shot. Natural airflow in mines can be weird and could explain it if one is looking for a non-para, non-fakery explanation. That video is far from the most freaky thing he has posted from mine explores though.. BTW I do lean towards, whatever it was, something he wasn't expecting, that nervous breathing thing is hard to fake.
The eerie feeling he was getting was probably his mind/body picking up on some dangerous gases or something similar. I've listened to a ton of these kinds of stories and that often seems to be the cause. Of course I could be completely wrong and there is something else dangerous lurking in that mine. You never know for sure lol
You can get feelings like that from smelling an animal or a person or hearing a small grunt or something but not quite enough for your brain to alert your conscious mind to it. With footprints, I suspect a guy was hiding in the mine with him, maybe some kind of drug operation or i dunno criminal or runaway or even a scared teenager who thought he was the cops, and he subcssonscioiusly heard/smelled/whatever them ahead of time.
Going into any abandoned mine in the dark alone is terrifying, he doesn't need to invent ghosts!
Usually it doesn't have anyone inside as most of them are middle of nowhere!!!
Earth moves. 😳
It's stupid too. Old mine shafts can easily collapse because the Timbers have rotted. There were many mine collapses even in the day when the wood wasn't rotten
Why do people enjoy going into things that are small, dark and so horribly cramped???? Just why???
But he did invent ghosts. Quite literally. He faked his waldeck mine video and got busted.
Ghost: *aggressive chain shaking*
Frank: understandable have a nice day *get the hell out of the mine*
It’s fake :/
@@hammerheadfrenzy what evidence do you have that it's fake? There is the possibility that it's fake but from what we know,it's highly improbable
@@Rqptor_omega some RUclipsr, forgot the name broke it down and listed a bunch of things that made it seem fake. The guy would turn off and on his camera through the mine. In some of his videos after the mine video he would take recordings from compilation of scary screams and took the first scream, then added it to one of his videos. Idk you have to watch the video of the guy breaking it down, definitely changed my mind on it. I believe it’s fake now but who knows
@@Rqptor_omega he’s also out of breath, like breathing really hard compared to earlier in the mine. Seems like he went and swung the chain really hard and ran back a little bit to record it
@@hammerheadfrenzy ngl him turning off the camera was sus tho the way he just acted so naturally and realistic about that is hard to believe. If it was fake he deserves an Oscar award
"Violently vacuuming"...my favorite Like button ruse.😂😂😂
The scariest thing that happened to him when he was there was hearing voices echoing through the tunnel immediately followed by an alarm going off. That would make me RUN out of there. Very very creepy stuff!
Another explorer with an O2 alarm probably.
I’m just glad that unlike most people in Mr Ballen’s stories, Frank didn’t die.
that can mean only one thing,
frank IS the killer/ghost.
:)
Me too
Just keep waiting
Or get his face torn off by a bear,that was keeping guard over headless corpses!😂
Yet*
ghost: tries to scare him
frank: this place is flooded
ghost: ._.
"Hmmmm stagnant water scares the shit out of me" *Walks past swinging chain*
Yeah there is Skeeters in that stagment waterz!!!! Imma not gonna get milaria!!! 😝
Ghost: “F my afterlife”
Flooded with the poor ghosts tears 😂
The weirdest thing about the chain is, it's swinging back and forth like a pendulum... it doesn't seem to be loosing any momentum. I don't know one way or the other if a chain hanging from a wall with little friction can naturally maintain a swing like that for a decent duration... it's seems a bit out of the ordinary, but I can't say for certain. I noticed that a few other chains were lightly swinging back and forth around it.
Everyone's thinking a ghost. I'm thinking a deranged, psychopathic killer, living in the mine swung the chain. He was probably sneaking up on Frank and then ducked away when Frank started turning back around.
My thoughts too! He said there were footprints going into tbe mine. Be never said tbere were any coming back out. Psycho killer is all... What the heck? Frank?!? .. oop!... dodge into darkness quick but not slick. Did anyone go back in there after Frank?
@@kellyh4600 they sealed it because people were going there
Both
Especially with footprints!
Though, if he swung the chain. It would start slowing down, with each swing. Yet it keeps swinging at the same speed.
The ghost who swinged the chain: "I'm gonna start this man's career"
😂
His first paranormal video was actually an earlier one, and they're all faked unfortunately
@@mikewilliams8659 Agreed
@@mikewilliams8659 lol, they've been debunked.
SWUNG .... THe ghost swung the chain. 🤣🤣
I KNEW Mr Ballen would do a video on Exploring Abandoned Mines! It was only a matter of time.
Its so weird seeing Mr Ballen doing a video about another youtuber Im subbed to. I remember watching that video years ago, and only thinking the chain swinging was weird but nothing more. I was glad he walked back out at the time because the mine did not safe enough to enter, and it looked like it would be miserable to walk through. He went back when it dried out and explored the place.
In anticipation of a few comments I expect to receive:
1. Yes, I did cover this story on TikTok in early 2020, and yes, that tiktok video is now on the @mrballenshorts RUclips channel as well.
2. Yes, I’m aware of the numerous videos that debunk some of Frank’s content. If you watch this video to the end, I speak specifically about that.

Rewatch them!

Thank you!!
@@MrBallen more vids like these pls
Frank was smart enough to acknowledge his instincts, spot a sketchy mine and say: "nah, bro."
Be smart.
Be like Frank.
I work in an over 100 year old building as a pastry chef and sometimes work at Midnight. A few times I have heard someone running up the stairs and stomping upstairs. The first time I thought maybe someone followed me in and went upstairs but found nothing. The second time I just ignored it and started my day, keeping an eye on those dark stairs. After a year or so with nothing a new employee asked me about hearing someone walking around upstairs when she was there alone. I have since heard it one more time. I have no idea what it is but it's very weird, it sounds like a very heavy person running and stomping and you can hear it move across the ceiling. No clue.
So weird! Me too! In our small 3-story office building on a fair number of occasions I hear somebody walking upstairs. It's not machinery, it's not neighbouring suites. It distinctly sounds like somebody walking around upstairs. But we are the top floor. There’s no upstairs.
Every other white person in every horror movie made: let’s stick around and see what that was.
Frank: NOPE
Hahahahaha. Frank is a survivor!!!
I would do the same if I was Frank tbh
It would be a pretty boring horror movie if they just were able to leave asap. :/
@@Silverhineko right ?!
dude he left because its fake, ballen deliberately cut out the part where he went in further past the chain police sirens go off like its from a toy
this is a super old video from nukes 5 and not the first video, the first video he goes into a cave with fake ghost sounds pretending he doesn’t hear it at first then fakes ignorance stating the ghost sounds sound like snakes
I was way more freaked out by the thought that someone else was there, messing with him by swinging that chain, being in pitch dark if his torch was knocked out of his hand and the fact that he was pretty much in the middle of nowhere.
The fact that he saw footprints on his way into the mine, my mind went straight to a person being inside that mine.
The unknown person in the mine, in the middle of nowhere, in the pitch dark, is way more scarier to me than a ghost swinging chains!
A serial killer and probably a cannibal in abandoned mine is a lot scarier. I can image someone tried to approach him when he turned around to film the opening and ran away in hurry when he pulled out a flash light
I agree... I think human beings are much scarier than ghosts
Good theory!
That's exactly what I thought!
But what about a humanoid?
I love how every video he changes how many times per week he uploads. Huge fan of the channel!
The juice wasn’t worth the squeeze 🫶🤣😭😂😭‼️ Thanks for all the creepy & mysterious tales😎 can’t get enough of them🙌😃✌️
Frank thinking to himself: hmm, I wonder if this mine is a shortcut to " Bells Canyon "....
Hey do you know how to get to Bells Canyon 😁
@@EJ-74 lol 😆
😂😂
So that guy in the forest was just Frank
Frank scared a.poor guy
That video still gives me the creeps. Does anyone remember what video the bells canyon story was on?
"your not alone" ghost with bad grammar are the scariest of all.
Ghosts*
Maybe it’s meant to be “your knot, alone”
😂😅🤣 If I were there and happened to have a marker, I would not have been able to stop myself from correcting that grammar!
Then, of course, the ghost would kill me!
😂
I love frank ghosts run from frank hahah the one mine with the whispers gave me goose bumps
At 11:02 mark, three chains are swinging (two on the left and one on the right). However, the chain on the right does swing more than the other two.
I remember when Frank posted this video. My dad would watch his videos pretty regularly because he too was interested in the abandoned mines and ghost towns sprinkled throughout Nevada. And my dad honestly thought nothing of it, because he said, "weird things happen in abandoned mines."
I believe Frank posted without the intention to go viral because none of his previous videos point to that. He saw something weird, and he posted it.
Tell ur dad it was fake LMFAO
ruclips.net/video/naIEpELSgAM/видео.html
"i believe he poosted this without the intention of going viral"
Whyd he fake it then? Weird.
Could something have made the chain start swinging from the very topmost part of the chain? Like perhaps the ceiling around it had eroded and created an unintentional air current system, much like in a valley or something?
I’m not surprised if weird things happen in mines lol, they are creepy and have a lot of history. I feel like this could be real because I have a lot of experience with paranormal activity and i would always get that bad feeling that something was weird or off and the fact that he mentioned that it felt creepy makes sense.
I hope it's something far out. But it looks like the other chains on the left are slightly swinging from someone that backed into them after putting the main chain into motion. Was it Frank?
@@Tata83102 could have been Frank, or something that he spooked. Or someone that was approaching him while his back was turned
MrBallen provides both metric & imperial measurements. This makes me (and billions of other people) happy.
Yeah nice of him to include standard and the foreign metric system
I'm Australian and I really appreciate it
Okay not billions of people tho lol
@@DragonWolfSpirits There are 7.75 Billion people on the planet, with 195 countries recognised by the United Nations. The are exactly 3 countries in the world that don't use metric. (USA pop 330 million, Myanmar pop 55 million, & Liberia pop 5 million)
So yeah... over 7.5 billion people use the metric system and fewer than 400 million use imperial. (almost all of those are in the USA)
@@BatCaveOz this YT channel is from the U.S. so using standard measurements would be the norm. Mr Ballen is a nice dude and doesn't mind helping out the tourists visiting this page by using the foreign metric system. Everyone should be happy.
Hmmm... to be honest, it might just be that there's a draught coming from above near that chain. Look at the way it's swinging. It's straight, and that's not how it would be if it was swung out of the way.
Take a look at tall slender Chimneys or Car Aerials. Notice how they have curved pieces on Chimneys, and a spiral wire wound round the Aerial. They are there to prevent them from swaying in the wind. Look up Vortex Shedding and you will see how this happens. I think this may be happening to the chain.
Just because something is moving, it doesn't mean that someone or a Ghost is moving it!
Someone needs to go back and see if that's what's happening.
Ive been in a cemetery where someone had placed six plastic windmills on each side of a path. Early morning. No wind. Before they'd opened. One started spinning on it's own. Fast. My friend and I started interacting with the entity. It would stop spinning when we asked it to. It even changed direction on a dime and started spinning super fast on its own accord the other way. It had been spinning clockwise and then spun counter clockwise. The other five never moved. It was awesome. I've had a few other paranormal experiences but that was the coolest. This went on a good 10 or more minutes. There's definitely things in this world we cannot see with our eyes
Be careful with things like that. Communicating with a spirit can open doors to the demonic just like a Ouija board.
pics or it never happened
I believe it's authentic because of his reaction. The silence for a while afterward. People who fake tends to exagerate their reaction, like "whoah" "oh sh*t". People who wants to fake being suprised/scared don't usually do it by freezing in shock.
*Yes, it’s authentic. I’ve been watching this dude’s channel for a while b/c my mom’s ancestors were Scottish miners out west in the early 1800’s (the “There Will Be Blood” vibe). I like seeing the conditions they worked in and the dangers they faced. Considering the number of men who died while mining if anyplace stands a chance at being haunted it’s those old, abandoned mines virtually nobody enters* 💯
Yes, indeed. I know that freezing shock very well it's like your brain tries to process "what is that" "how" question. But it can't do it fast so for 4-5 secs you are just frozen.
Most likely he just ran over there and swung the chain before starting to record again. It's an obvious cut to the scene with the chain swinging and it starts with him facing the opposite direction of the chain. Probably does these little hoaxes to get more viewers and make more money. Can't really blame him.
yea I feel like if someone was faking this they would just go “a gHoSt” or something. but Frank sounded actually creeped out.
People react differently to things
I’ve been living in my car for about 3 weeks now and the only thing that’s getting me through this rough time is MrBallen. This dude is legendary, thank you for your videos.
You ok?
Hang in there man.
I was in that situation for far l long anger than I care to talk about.
If I may give some advice? Make sure to keep a case of water somewhere in your vehicle, get ahold of a roll of reflective material like subflooring or even a few cheap windshield sunshades and cut them to fit over all of your windows.
It will give you some privacy as well as insulation and help keep the inside of your car darker for a longer time so you can try to get the necessary sleep that is so very difficult to achieve without really being comfortable.
Good luck out there and stay safe.
I’ve been living in my car for awhile too. Right by my work. And mrballen and RUclips in general get me through. I feel you.
Hope things start to pick up for you soon!

(Edit) I once saw this video of this guy exploring a mine and the camera was on it when a silver spray can flew across the mine. The man recording immediately left the mine he was exploring. I do not know if it was Frank.
Yeah i remember seeing this video not long after it came out. I thought the swinging chain was legit. I would never have thought he would prank like that based on all the other videos ive seen him make.
A swinging chain? That was just a missed opportunity to discuss your extended warranty on your car with a new friend. Damn shame if you ask me.

The scariest thing about this, is that the footage does not come from youtubr channel that does ghost thing. It comes from regular youtuber that indeed explore cave and mines. This makes the footage more genuine
Yeah I'm one of his subscribers and he specifically said that he is not doing it for making money at exploring, he is only doing it and filming it is to share with other people that had the same interest or passion for it. He only does it because he loves it so much!
