Bob was smart, he brought a pistol with him while camping in a remote area. Be like Bob.
Always cary one on me when in dangerous places, urban exploration and woods, anywhere with potential for dangerous people
I never go camping without my revolver ak47 5 thousand rounds of ammo and a pocket nuke .. If some shit gona try to scare or kill me im a take down The whole woods with me
@@a.ortega4505 I took you serious until pocket ak 🤣
@@a.ortega4505 I take a 410/ 45 long colt judge revolver and about a box of ammo. My brother takes a 1911
Or his 38 revolver
The strangest thing wasn't that the girl didn't steal anything at the campsite. The strangest thing was that the couple was able to sleep again.
No way I could have fallen asleep plus my campfire would have been seen from space.
@@SMaamri78 Lol, yes, i think that building a big camp fire would have been my response too. Build one like those Australian Aborigines did on that 1980's movie, "The Right Stuff".
@Randy Orton Lorraina Bobbit!!
Up all night with the shotgun at the ready
I too am amazed by them being able to fall back asleep, but also night time exhaustion while camping is pretty powerful
Bob sounds like the most sensible person in any one of these camping stories.
Yes! Finally someone who has the good sense to bring some protection with them when they go out in the middle of nowhere!
Absolutely agree!
He definitely got the gift..!💯
Other than the fact that he seemed to be completely oblivious to the existence of bears. *Sees tents with claw marks through them and campsite ransacked* "WHAT COULD THIS POSSIBLY BE????"
@@AspireGMD He just forgor
I always wonder if these strange creepy people wandering through the woods are the ones who disappeared in another story..
Oh wow ... Good logic
I was actually thinking the same thing when I was listening to all these stories and came to this one. Like what if these are people gone missing and just have lost their minds?
Watching this i wondered if that torn abandoned tent was from another story that starts the same but from their point of view.
You are right. Haven't thought about that
That’s exactly what I was thinking with the first story in this video.
When he said the woman was acting feral, it reminded me of another story MrBallen told of a lady that camped with her friends and suddenly went feral in the middle of the night and never to be seen again
"So Bob draws his pistol" finally someone who actually belongs in the woods!
For real!!!
Day hike on heavily traveled trail no weapon or protection except for animals necessary. Overnight camping off the beaten path, definitely need protection and be prepared to use it.
Yeah it's good to be armed but there are large animals that unless you land that kill shot your just gonna piss it off. Shotgun with a slug is a better choice actually a homemade shrapnel round is better.
Or an arrow, sounds better lol
Q: Tell me you’re American without telling me you’re American?
A: I make up for my lack of manhood by hiding behind a gun.
Stories like this make me glad I'm an avid indoorswoman...
I'm a guy and now I too am a indoorswoman.
You got that right, sister.
🤣😂🤣😂
Your comment deserves more likes. That's hilarious
I am taking the phrase 'indoorswoman'! Love it!
@@swenners Take it and run with it!
Bob is a smart fellow. Two good guard dogs and a hand gun. Way to go Bob.
Bob is the ultimate gigachad
Alongside the trip wires.
Bob: "Packing up this campsite would be a huge hassle"
Also Bob: "Guess I'll just run a trip-wire around the entirety of the camp"
And stay up all night guarding his family in the truck instead of driving said truck to safety.
Right wtf Bob lol just pack! I figured he wanted to stay or something
Last one sounds more like a skinwalker than a witch.
How people can sleep after someone being sketchy around my tent blows my mind
ikr
I guess u can
Could not agree more. I don’t know where Mr. Ballen gets these people but they all tend to “ blow away” their first instinct and always end up in the worst situations.
How people are stupid enough to not have someone stay awake and guard also just blows my mind. Like how stupid are you.
I know like unless you hadn’t slept in like 48 hours straight and were just DEEEAD TIRED, exhausted, then passed out literally almost. There would be no way on EARTH I would be able to even think about sleep, but I’m a super light sleeper too lol
No reason to take your fancy camping gear home with you when you're never going camping again.
Omg lmao 😂 so true 🤦🏻♀️
Sell it lol
Or if you're never going home again... 🤨
🤣🤣🤣
U coulve sold that on Craigslist or some shit for some dollars less but like 😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Bob, the most sane person ever to go into the woods. He gave it one chance...two chance to make sure he wasn't imaging things but by the third time he was like "say hello to my little friend." So many times people don't want to believe they aren't in any danger when strange things are happening, so they keep convincing themselves its nothing or it will go away. I'm a Bob!
Congrats
Me 2 !!
Actually Bob was a little you know what and sat carrying while his family sat in a rig terrified the entire night because he was too stupid to leave
their stuff was all still there genius. Maybe if you had actually paid attention to the video you would understand why they couldn't just flat out leave. Maybe you're the one who's a little... you know what.@@julieinid1
Hi I'm Bob
That second story gotta be the creepiest because although Bob was ready for anything, he still couldn’t figure out what he would be dealing with. A flattened propane tank?! I don’t want to imagine 😰
A bear probably. Or if it's something paranormal, might be bigfoot
Sasquatch 😮😂
@@GiornoAnzthat bear would have to be fuckin JACKED. Flattened from the top youd think that would cut open a bears paws.
@noahfink2708 you may be right idk. Bears are insanely strong, but still propane tanks are also strong. I'm just not certain it's paranormal/cryptid stuff in this case specifically
It was refreshing to hear a camping story where a camper actually had a gun.
@@brent3611 - Yeah, it's weird to be happy when someone goes camping and brings something with which to protect themselves. 👍
@@brent3611 you have issues kid
I know right? I don't think I'd wanna be out in the woods without a means of protection.
I live in Texas so if you are out in the forest anywhere you have a gun
Thats Maine for ya. We all have guns! Lol
What kind of psycho can go back to sleep at 3 AM when some wild woman keeps rushing your tent? That is some serious levels of sleepy....
For real
We gotta be like more like Bob! Bob held that bish down! Watching over his family the whole night ready blast whomever or whatever it was stalking them. Bob is a great guy
Ambien? lol
Really. Like, really.
🤣🤣🤣
The world would be a better place with more people like Bob
Be like Bob, be like Bob
Full of people that grab a gun and hide in their truck because they are high and heard some rabbits in the woods?
@@deansmith6593 with a "Rabbit" that can FLATTEN propane tank? Yeah should be like bob
I don't trust people who own guns. But these people are probably Americans or from some country with a bunch of lunitics
Dude, you were just born for story telling. I’ve been watching your videos for the last few months driving big rigs, and it provides me an insurmountable amount of entertainment. LEGEND!!!
Same here. I'm a truck driver and I listen to this channel nonstop.
These stories need to come with a warning label. "Warning: Crack is less addictive than Ballen's stories. You've been warned."
Omgosh! 10/10
Definitely
That’s true and who else noticed that the Bob cat was a lot like the Cheshire Cat when he was on the tree
TRUE!!!
Im the most skeptical anti paranormal type of person there is. And I've become addicted to his channel.
If Mr Ballen ever goes missing, the Like button has to be the main suspect.
Facts
@Loren Means lol wtf
Lmao but I feel like Mr. Ballen knows what he’s doing. Just a hunch
@Loren Means be alot more strange if it were the like button.
underrated
Great stories! It drives me nuts why people don't take turns standing guard while the other sleeps. Also, they're out there for 2 hours in the middle of the night, why not spend time bringing their valuables into their tent? ?
Lmao I know right
I thought that. Take everything inside.
The house i grew up in had bobcats in the woods. Every you once in a while it sounded like a woman was being killed by an axe-murderer, like it makes your hair stand on end. Even if you know full well that its a bobcat, your nervous system still stands your hair on end, because the scream burrows itself deep into your bones. We never got used to it.
Panthers are the same way. I vividly remember being outside my childhood home which is deep in the woods/swamp in southern GA on a full moon and hearing a panther. It makes your blood run cold, literally sounds like a woman screaming in terror. The only way you can tell the difference is if you've lived around it and/or the cadence in the sound.
No bobcats near where I live. I was staying on a farm once and thought I heard a woman screaming. After a while of hearing this woman screaming I felt like I had to at least see if I could spy what was causing this because if its a woman in distress I can run and get help. It turned out to be a cow with a seriously weird moo, which was being further warped by the topography of the land. 🙄
Yes, I have been in the swamp at night the first I heard a panther scream. It's enough to make you believe in monsters.
@@theparkourlady894 this comment made me laugh! So weird, that poor “cow with a seriously weird moo”
@@karenstubbs94 for real re: monsters!
I confess, I'm addicted to watching MrBallen. He only gets better and better.
True
Same
Same
Yes. How does he do it?? And he's making these videos with a newborn in the house!
Yup
I'm a simple man, i see strange dark and mysterious delivered in story format 3-5 times a week, i like it.
How do you sleeeeep?
@@Yoursocutehe We don't. If we do, we probably fell asleep to the strange, dark, and mysterious, delivered in story format.
@@ghoulishartist true but sometimes we must close our eyes to recharge our batteries so we can consume more dark and mysterious story’s delivered in story format
Join the strange dark and mysterious delivered in story format cult
I watch it 4-6 a day
Why does it seem like half of his stories have to take place in Oregon, where I live? I often go offroading, hiking, and camping alone in the deep forest. I grew up learning these things and am very safe and cautious when alone. IMO nobody should go out into that kind of an environment without weapons for self defense. A gun if you can, a good knife at least if you can't get a gun or don't want to, but I really do recommend it for practicality alone, morals and politics aside.
Also, doesn't hurt to familiarize yourself with the sounds of animals common to your area, you'd be surprised the creepy sounds some of them make. Bobcats especially sound eerily like some kind of ghostly woman wailing in the woods. It's incredibly unsettling, even when you know exactly what it is. Their vocalizations sound quite human.
Right? It seems as if there’s a ton of people in our state that are lining up for Darwin Awards.
Most of these folk I think are city types who couldn't change a tire, afraid of weaponry, and their idea of roughing it is to go camping... In a giant motorhome with all the amenities of home.
I grew up camping with my father and mother in the deserts and mountains as a child.
My dad taught me how to deal with all manner of adversion in the outdoors and the surest medicine for dealing with weirdos, ferals etc is a proper broomstick (my fav being a K98K Mauser or Mosin Nagant M44 cos cutting 8" off the barrel makes moar flash and louder BOOM)
I Just Said That!! Why always Oregon? I've also learned lately that we've had our share of serial killers.. I've spent so much time in the woods.. I live on the West side of the Cascades, so lot's of green and big tree's, beautiful clear river's n creek's, and horseback riding, camping, fishing and mushroom picking, the kind you cook with are just a few things I use to do.. I know a lot of these sound's, that people say are wendigos, are bobcat's.. They have a very eerie and alarming sound, especially during mating season.. Anyway, great stories as always.. 🤗
Panthers also sound like a screaming woman being strangled and horribly murdered.
Excellent idea to be familiar with common animals sounds, screeches.
I'm a city girl but I do know that foxes also high-pitch 'scream' while mating, rabbits 'scream' when caught as prey so it's very often a logical explanation even though it sounds alarming.
To be fair, while attempting to sleep in a pup tent in a wooded area, even the insects all around sounded like bears moving furniture in the night.
Story №1 was such a good story! 👍🏽An Elder Native American woman with a bobcat for her pet; they live together, they also communicate, scream/cry alike, and also prefer the same tree to sit in, and the same branch!
You’re so gullible if you haven’t figured out these stories are fake.
@BARBARYAN. Real or fake, I only said it was a _good story._
@@BARBARYAN. Bobcats actually scream like people, particularly in heat. It's very odd
"Monkey-like" is actually the perfect description for how she searched through that bag. I dated a girl in high school whose family literally had a capuchin monkey for a pet...if we are being honest, that monkey is why I stayed with her longer than I definitely should have. Every time I came over, I'd get the monkey out of the cage and he would automatically start going through my pockets, looking at everything for a split second and throw it over his shoulder...it was great comedy. Basically I just wanted to tell you about that monkey🤷 sorry for wasting ur time lol.
I loved it thank you! I once dated a guy longer than I would have because his mom was raising an orphan baby raccoon! He was sooo sweet I loved him!
No such thing is a waste of time if your talking about Monkeys
This didn't waste my time this was literally hilarious
@@0blivvy8 oh that's definitely a reason to stay with someone. Love me some raccoons
time definitely not wasted ahah thankyou!
Bruh a cabin in the woods is the biggest red flag any human being should know..😭
Theirs literally horror movies just about cabins in the woods
Any old decrepit building in the middle of the woods is not a good idea for anyone
My friend was at my house so we went behind my house at night where there is over like 10 miles of woods behind my house and we were about 5 miles into the woods and there was a random cabin so we dipped 😂
@Brody Massey nah we looked around at first
I found one in the middle
Of the woods in Milledgeville, GA. Me and a good friend of mine were contemplating on going inside but we just had this very uneasy feeling so we took off running after standing infont of it for abt 2mins. Never went back hahaha
No one can tell a story,that is more pleasant to listen to than Mr.Ballen!!!🥰😁👍
Things I have learned from Mr.Ballen, don't go in caves, don't go scuba diving, don't go in the forest, pretty much, don't leave your house. Great content, and story, ALWAYS! Safe to say, I'm obsessed with the strange, dark, and mysterious.
Have not seen the videos where people are haunted by strangers hiding in their house?!
@@llamasugar5478 yeah, check your walls, attic, basement, E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G!
It’s called “frogging” or something like that.
The first story was scary, a feral Karen running through the woods gives me chills
🤣🤣
LOL
They never said she was white.
Feral Karen’s are the worst
How could you go back into your tent?
Bob and his family are one of the few smart ones in all of the stories I've heard. He brought a gun, just in case, and when things started to get wierd they got the hell out of there
Come to Utah. Lots of guns while camping
@Gem Rose there’s not a chance in hell that I would go camping, hiking, etc without a gun! Hell, I take one to the store with me....but I’m also in northern Idaho!
Anyone else notice that is that picture he’s next to there’s slender man lol 😆
I was just about to comment asking if anybody else noticed like 95% of these stories could be fixed with a gun.
Reminds me.of the movie Predator, the original. The special forces team before Dutch also had booby traps and trip wires
The second story, I've camped those woods! Had a very similar experience! It's like the wall between the Here and the There is really thin there. Like theres people who are there who aren't there at the same time. And they're aware of us just like we are aware of them. Its weird.
I grew up in a house completely surrounded by thick forest. We had neighbors, but you couldn't see or hear them. People used to come up to our windows and peer in. Only the bedrooms had curtains. They scared me so much I used to pretend I was stone until the noises went away. Years later I discovered it was the neighbors. They must have thought it was funny as hell. Not. They got some payback when they broke into a house and went through the daughter's underwear. Her mother had them arrested.
Plot twist: Old woman looks at them and says "Do you know how to get to Bells Canyon" and then runs off.
@Joseph Romes 💯😆😂👍🌹🤗, I thank you for that much needed laugh. My cats, Izzy and Mouse disagree. I laughed so loud they quickly scattered and hid. Great comment!!🙀😾😿
Lol I've been saying that for days!
I CAN'T WITH YOU💀💀💀💀💀
Wtf is Bells canyon and why is it commented on every one of these videos lol
@@thomasacord6194 lol this link will take you to it. It's related to the 3rd story.
ruclips.net/video/k402yukZAxE/видео.html
2nd story: If I were to discover an abandoned camp looking like that, I'd leave the premises immediately.
Get the family out, yeah. But then immediately return properly equipped for some hunting.
I would call the cops lol
@@ki-kodevorne7318 Bear or cougar, for sure. Oregon and Washington have tons of them.
Especially after hearing footsteps the night before.
@@ki-kodevorne7318 Wear some Spartan armor from Halo. 😂
Oh my god I love you and your channel. My brother passed an this is the first bday without him. I’ve been a mess all morning and you cracked me up with your entries. Thank you for the smile and laugh. Very needed today
Im so sorry for your loss. I hope things are getting better for you
Bob probably encountered a bear, good thing he was armed and smart
Or something else...................
do bears stalk like that?
There is a chance that the woman in the first story was just a LONG TIME meth user. They do like to dig, ive seen it, and they look horrifying as well. Flat affect, no emotion or recognition.
They need to get punched into reality. Wish I could do it
well thank God that she didnt have any evil intention
Yea but usually meth addicts are looking for a quick steal/fast cash to get there next fix the she was acting it does sound somewhat like a methed up person but usually the addicts are avid thieves!!
Or sleep walking/ digging/ ransacking
That was my first thought.
Bob, an avid outdoorsman also has impeccable manners apologizing profusely to absolutely no one.
That man bob was ready to cap some mfs
Bob probably the smartest person in any of these stories
he must have been Canadian.
😂😂😂😂
@@Foundedaaiden Why?He didn't use or need a gun.Useless.
I love this channel, you telling me a story on how and why to leave a like button, makes me always leave a like button.
I like a story that starts out with "...and their two german shepherds..." I know its going to be a scary story but I feel safer already!
Bob takes a pistol camping. He and his family are on one of the few Ballen stories where they all survived. Coincidence? I think not. Bob's definitely a prepared man.
Yes but have you heard of the other stories? Alot of them with powerful guns and experienced disappeared or died by an unknown compelling force
I think the unknown perpetrators in these stories is the like button 🤔
@@vanessadodge1610 lmao
Ppp
@@vanessadodge1610 You should write that again in the main comments section lol
Fun fact, bobcats sound like screaming people and yes, its terrifying in the middle of the night. I'm sure seeing one do it in the daytime is just as unsettling
Those and other animals such as owls, fox, panthers and other creatures can make noises that sound like human screams and screeches that people unfamiliar with them think are people screaming in the woods when they hear it.
Yep cougars do it too I heard
Bigfoot
Thanks god
Yes indeed! If you're not expecting it it can be quite startling. Loons can also make some crazy noises
THAT PICTURE OF BOB, AT 11.01, ISNT THAT RICK GRIMES, FROM THE WALKING DEAD, SERIES, STILL A GREAT STORY, MR. BALLEN. LOVE YOUR CONTENT.
U are the best story teller I ever have listened to! I am doing lots of binge watching on RUclips but with U I do lots of binge listening!😁😁👏👏 - keeping me up into the early mornings!
Thank U and god bless!
I always think Mr. Ballen would be amazing to sit by a campfire with and just listen to his stories,
Then I remember, because of his stories, I'll never go camping again 😆
me tooooooo!!!
Camping, walking in the dark, walking a forest at all 😂
Yea! Perfect for tales of the dark!
SAME!!
I would go but if I have to sit up all night holding my Glock, it doesn’t sound like vacation.
"Three People Who _Refused_ to Leave at the First Sign of Danger"
like why
Haha basically
Yes, I don't get it. He had time to make a trip wire alarm but didn't want to originally leave because it'd be a whole ordeal?! When scary sh## happens, I'm out.
The brain has a tendency to convince itself that everything is fine, it takes quite a lot for the brain to be convinced it's in danger and even more to get the nerve to escape and leave.
Often times, this tendency kills people. It's unfortunate, but most people won't run just because something slightly odd happens, that's too extreme of a reaction for something so inconsequential that most people will simply stay put. Weird how the brain works!
I would of left I don't care if it was night I would leave I just don't get why they would stay.
@@PoptartParasol very well said
I put MrBallen videos on while I'm cleaning. I love the stories! Thanks for sharing them!
Today, I was cleaning a large freezer-chest that suddenly stopped working. (Unfortunately though, my sister and I didn't notice; until it started to smell like death and decomposition. You can imagine the state of it.)
I'm home alone. I'm 4ft 11", so it's hard to reach the bottom to scoop up the bacteria-filled water.
I propped the lid open with a piece of wood. It broke. Termites, it seems. It nearly bonked me while I was bent over the front of the freezer-chest, head down. But, I reacted quickly when I heard the wood crunch, so I pulled away in time to avoid injury.
My first thought was: "I almost became content, again. Lol." 😅
(The first time I almost became content my puppy got lost in what equates to a rain forest behind my house. I heard him crying and so, at like 1 or 2 am, I sprinted into the bush to find him. He is fine. He is mostly an inside dog now.)
These are my favorite kind of stories you tell. Nothing is more scary or intriguing than a good ghost story!
he explains in such a way that it makes a whole small 7 minute movie in my head
I always say that to people I’m trying to convince to watch Mr. Ballen’s stories. I tell them after every story he tells I feel like I just watched a movie and the movie is always great!
Yes! He’s my favorite youtuber. Fantastic storyteller! I love story-telling so I watch his videos to gain insight.
Good story tellers tends to do that, this is also why good books does the same thing.
exactly
No way I thought I was the only one 😍 I love it actually make a movie
Fun fact: Bobcats actually do scream like crazy people. Look it up.
I jeez!!
@Astolfo Desu lol imaging ur camping urself but then u hear a woman screaming but it was actually a mountain lion
@@molliwilson5639 yeah but the account made it out like the bobcat making the noise was unnatural when it's actually not...
@@Jezzikinz Have you ever heard a bobcat scream in person? I have and let me tell you, even knowing what it is is creepy enough. Hearing that in the middle of night and unaware, it could scare some people for sure. Sounds like a woman screaming murder.
I just had fun learning that fact. Foxes too
Watching this right before I’m going camping.
*Thanks*
Just started watching Mr. Ballen, and so far im binge watching all his stories
Bobcats screams actually do sound like a woman screaming. I saw a video once of two bobcats yelling at each other and it was kinda funny because the sound reminded me of two women arguing in a Walmart
They also sound a lot like a baby crying. It’s very very scary to hear them beside your home in the dark.
Dude. I live at the base of mount rainier. We see lots of critters. Hell i fought off a cougar tryin to eat my cat once..... It was a 60ish pound kitty. But the noises mountian lions make is nightmare fuel. And if you have never heard a 120 pound male mountain lion screamin your first thought is otherworldly.
@@danpinnell7502 Spent time in the northern cali mountains. First time I heard a mountain lion scream it chilled me to the bone. It sounded like a woman screaming bloody murder.
I was looking for this comment so I didn’t repeat the information. It’s definitely a normal sound for large wild cats in the US and surrounding areas.
Yeah I thought that, sounds like bobcat just being bobcat
Bob: "Sorry! don't worry about my dog, he's harmless!"
Camper: "Whats's his name?"
Bob: "...guts"
Hahahaha😂 I LOL'd there!
Ikr! 😂 😂 😂
Bob reminded me of Shawn (niga higa)
#b0b
Camper: "Carry on, Struggler."
MrBallen is the absolute best story teller. I watch all his videos and his voice is actually soothing to me. I find myself falling asleep to just his voice. The stories aren’t burning, it’s the soothing voice he has. Am I the only one who does this?
Holy moly- shapeshifting. This is the best story I have heard about it!
WHO ELSE IS A FAN OF THE STRANGE, DARK, AND MYSTERIOUS DELIVERED IN STORY FORMAT?

BWWAAAAAaaah!
I've began to think that some of these stories should not be listened to in the middle of the night while I'm the only one awake! But I just can't help myself.
I've been binge-watching since I got sick on Wednesday after this channel was recommended to me because I am subscribed to Mr. Nightmare. I admit, I had such trouble with the first 5 or so episodes. This is due to my ADHD and Autism, that the hand-gesturing actually distracted me. I eventually got used to the rhythm, which does enhance the experience for me, because you are an amazing storyteller. I am hooked.
“Bob cat SCREAMING like a person!” - oh that’s normal
“There was all this UPSIDE DOWN furniture” - oh that’s not
That's what bobcats sound like when they scream. The sound like women screaming. We have bobcats around my home.
@@Robitron1234 I feel bad for you
@@amylandis9088 LOL I don't. Nature is nature. It's going to be there. I love the sounds. Unfortunately, with the fracking now, nature sounds are being masked with truly horrific sounds. Bobcats and other wildlife are being chased out.
@@Robitron1234 oh I'm glad u still like nature
@@amylandis9088 It doesn't do much good to not love nature when we're a part of it. It's everywhere and we can't stop it. LOL
moral of the stories: never go anywhere without a shotgun, especially when taking a dump in the woods
Two shotguns and an ak, and a sniper
And a torch lol 😂
Two shotguns a ak a sniper a rpg a lazar gun and a torch
Ffs sake- never go to the woods . Done!
I'll take a pump shotgun and a skorpion evo
I always like listening to mr. Ballens stories because not only are they entertaining but i always take the advice given and learn from other people mistakes.. the world is a crazy place with crazy people and sometimes all it takes is a good ol strange dark and mysterious delivered in story format that can get you out of a potential dangerous situation later in life!!
This channel is a blessing.
I've heard what sounded like foot steps outside my tent. I jumped outside to confront who it was. Shining my light onto the table; I saw our mini muffins scattered. My light followed the trail to a raccoon standing on his hind legs holding a muffin in his hand. He looked like a little man. I half expected him to ask for a cup of coffee.😅
Hahaha

No one drinks coffee
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lmao
Bob has excellent instincts. For once a story about a person who actually has a survival instinct! Some people don’t seem to have one these days.
This doesn't surprise me. Domesticated humans. So many of us have lived in "civilized society" for so long a lot of our primal instincts have definitely lessened to the point that they are complacent. It is pretty much similar to looking at a domesticated dog or cat. Since their domesticated lifestyles have existed for such a short time span compared to us, they have retained a great deal of their feral instincts. The amount retained, of course varies, as dogs and cats are just as individual as humans.
Sadly there are humans who take in animals, but when in a situation where they can no longer care for said animal or do not even care at all for said animal... they will simply drop the domesticated animal off in the wild, believing their survival instincts will kick in and they will be able to fend for themselves just fine. Some of these animals do and some of these animals do not.
You can tell it comes from a real outdoorsman and not a Reddit "True" story because of that.
Bob sucks, he should keep his pets on a leash, for the dogs safety and for strangers and wildlife safety.
@@nyxitylee2094 that is disgusting when people do that. If you wouldn't do that to your child you don't do it to a pet .
@@vanessaarnell It's not my child, it's a pet.
that scream, that bobcat, that’s a skinwalker. hands down. once you’ve experienced a wendigo, skinwalkers are sm easier to identify
Are they bad though? Or do they just want to be left alone?
They’re like rigaroos!.
@@DJ-ep2dc bad! very bad! skinwalkers and wendigos are not friendly, they’re lookin for ya
el spergo
I agree. It's definitely a skin walker.
I’m born and raised and still live in Maine and I live in the mountains so there’s a lot of dense forest around me and I always get scared that someone or something is watching me and my dog even gets scared sometimes
I once got to be the freaky person in the woods. I was in high school and went to a private school where the history teacher was super into civil war history. She took a bunch of us on a trip to the middle of nowhere and we had our own camp reenactment for a long weekend. We all wore impressive replica uniforms, carried long guns, built a log gate around our camp, and marched in formation. It was a lot of fun.
Halfway through our trip, our teacher was expecting some of her friends who would be playing the part of the confederates (yes, all students were union, because of course). Some folks came walking up our trail, so my teacher decides to impress the by having us march to the gate to meet them.
Except, these weren't her friends. They were a couple of random hikers who stumbled upon us by accident. They saw this group of old time uniformed and armed "soldiers" coming to them and these poor people turned on their heels and bolted. We never saw them again, and assumed from then on, we would be their terrifying encounter.
Lol they probably thought you freaks were ghosts 👻
That's actually amazing.
such a cute story.
I was doing field work in a woodland some years ago and was happily bimbling along carrying a ladder (the field work involved checking nest boxes so we need ladders to access these boxes and check on nests) when I suddenly realised I had walked out into a bit of clearing and there were all these people sitting around, dressed in medieval-type costumes. There was a camera and they seemed to be filming. I was so surprised and felt so self-conscious that I just walked right through the middle of the group with my head down. None of us spoke. It was awkward! I don't know why I didn't just say something like "Oh! Hi! Sorry to disturb you, don't mind me". But nope, I chose awkward silence...and so did they 😅. I sometimes wonder if they got me on camera and had a laugh about it later. It was so strange! I guess they were strange to me and I was strange to them 😆.
This reminds me of the time when me and a bunch of buddies were out in the woods LARPing, and we were taking a break from filming some epic medieval battle scenes in this clearing. I shit you not, a fucking ghost just appears from the treeline, carrying a ladder and walked right through the middle of our group, just staring at the ground. We all shut up, waited for it to pass, then got the hell out of there…
A short while up the trail, as we’re trying to get back to where we left our vehicles, I shit you not, an entire platoon of Union Soldier ghosts from the Civil war began approaching us through the trees… We turned our dragon slaying asses around and got the hell outta there!!!
I still don’t LARP to this day..
A perimeter wire is always a good idea when camping off the beaten trail. The best material is thin, braided stainless-steel cable, repeated at different heights and distances from camp. Most animals will take off as soon as they hear anything associated with humans. If you hear the next wire in, chamber your weapon. The animal to be most wary of is the human stranger.
I love how you worded this.
@@arthenasmagick worded like an old presentation on what to do and not to do lol
Definitly make sure you take wire down when you leave,dont want some animal gettn caught in it.
@@DEEPMUCH ...or person...
@@arthenasmagick what magick do you have?
Bobcats sound incredibly humanlike when they scream. It is very creepy and weird but that is exactly how they sound.
That dog deserves all the treats 😍
You know you've watched too much Mr Ballen when your own thoughts sound like they're being narrated by Mr Ballen
Yes !!
😂
My friends and I used to talk like Italian gangsters to make each other laugh and we ended up doing it so much that I noticed I couldn't read a book without the characters also sounding like Italian gangsters in my head lol. Italian Harry Potter is pretty ridiculous sounding.
@@sethk550 hey louie, i got an offer you can't refuse....
Lmaooo 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I am utterly obsessed with this channel. I cant stop watching. This is my adult version of "Are You Afraid Of The Dark."
Yes!! I wish he would get his own show where he’s narrating.
Tell me about it.....1hr sleep cos of this channel, and next night 4hrs and it continued. I'm flaming exhausted from lack of sleep yet the stories are too awesome to let go of till tomorrow lol
Me too...😂🤣
Oh my gosh yes!!!
Yes sir, my feelings exactly
I love how he goes into little details that make you feel like you are right there
POV: You're watching these stories before going camping...
Bob is a legend. He didn't feel like taking off his boots and leaving them neatly near a tree.
Haha. That’s good
Ha yes, funny!
🤣🤣😂
LOL
MrBallen started saying the story tripwire Bob was in when I saw this comment XD
There is NO WAY I would be able to go to sleep after seeing some strange person acting like that outside my tent in the woods. Heck no! I'd have been up ALL night with my flashlight on
Heck ya...I say whack them with a stick
@@RaoulDukeSr I would’ve been like yeah nope. Packed up and go after they came back the 2nd time 😂😂
@@kimecosx absolutely friend !
I would’ve packed up and went home. Nope.
Id be in my car with the doors locked all mifht
We need more stories Mr. B! PLEASE!!!
Great stories Thank you .
Can't someone just dig without being bothered.😂😂😂
Yeah, and can't a woman squat without being stalked? lol.
LoL 😂
Tweakers deluxe
@@marcsalzman8082 funny 😆
She was digging for the damm like button lol
First lady is a prime example of the importance of having bear spray while camping. 100% works fantastic on humans too!
😂😂
Lmao she was digging a poo hole and ransacked the camp for some tp
I read that as "beer spray" and went "oh? there's such a thing? how would that work?" 😩
I completely agree with you. Having Bear Spray would’ve been ideal in a situation like this. In addition to that I would have my trusty Raging Hunter Taurus 44 Magnum. Not only is this revolver a massive long barrel cannon of a pistol that can take down a grizzly bear, it also looks mean as hell. That gun would scare the shit out of anyone including a deranged woman living like an animal in the forest.
@@Isoeso lol probably something stupud like that😂
started watching the backlog of your videos I hadn't seen, and for some reason I'm not surprised how much weird crap happens in Oregon.
A Masterpiece!! Super ganda ng MV!!
If that woman would’ve asked “do you know where bells canyon is?” I would’ve died.
lol
What's the joke about Bells Canyon
@@sundiverjl mrballen has made a story about bells canyon
@@Bilal-jg1qs which video is it? If you happen to know
@@sundiverjl I dont remember the title but of you write mrballen bells canyon would might find it there are 3 stories in the video and one of it is bells canyon
I'm never going camping, kayaking, swimming, boating, fishing, diving, hunting, hiking, or doing anything ever except sitting in my house with the doors locked and sophisticated security cameras aimed all around me. Thanks mrballen!
The real creeps don't care about security cameras and locked doors. It's sad but true
You’d probably go crazy and end up becoming the antagonist in a future story, that or just be on the 911 radar for calling like 5 times a week cuz you think someone is breaking in. Being in your house 24/7 can do crazy shit to you
Don't forget cave diving! Going into caves PERIOD! Lol!
thats not really the way to go about things, but if you noticed if you have a big group with you at all times nothing ever happens
Haha
Ok so I just wanted to bring this up because this reminded me of it.
When I was younger, around 10 years old, I went on residential with a bunch of girls in the countryside and we all knew it already looked sketchy from the messed up activities and broken fences but we just shrugged it off as Residential was something everyone waited for throughout the entire school year.
There wasn’t really anything off in the days apart from that but it was during the nights that really shook us up. So, I was on a bunk bed right by the window in a small room with 14 girls meaning I got to control the curtains and I also had control of the room. During the night when there were about 5 of us awake a knock on the window echoed through the room (bare in mind we’re on the second floor and there is nothing but beds in this large room) so we all huddle up in a ball on the furthest bed and the knocks happen about 5-10 more times causing us to scream and the teachers being called in to tell the 5 of us off. Later on, it’s just me and this other girl awake but we’re all in our own beds and she is half way across the room so all we can do is wave and make signs to each other when a bang comes from outside waking the girl below me up. And I understand this could have been one of the workers but it’s only teachers and students in the area as it’s around 1 in the morning. Later on a scream echoes through the outside and all three of us are huddled together again until morning but what was funny is that the girls from the other room telling us off for the screams and knocks. The three of us told the teachers and they said they’d sort it only for it to repeat the next night 😐🫤
That’s pretty scary!
Bob is the only person with any sense… Thank you Bob
Come for the stories, stay for the flannels.
Bruv, I thought I was the only one that found the flannels to be very impressive.
He must be going through a lumberjack phase.
I have my winter flannel.
Damn straight
I'm Canadian, I came for the flannel and stayed for the stories 😉
The fact that there was already a tripwire set there is the most powerful part of the story, more than the flattened propane tank
Fr, I wonder what would've happened to them if Bob never noticed and didn't stay up protecting his family
@JoshuaRamos What are u thinking? What would have flattened a propane tank?
Dogs will hear steps before any human.
Dogs would never ignore any animal or human.
And dogs are always act as a pack.
Also dogs don't have a good vision.
So the story makes no sense.
Bigfoot yo

Love watching Mr ballen xxx one of my favourite on RUclips xxx
COOORRRREL!! …and Enid and woman that Rick met who had her husband’s head in a box…and RICK!! BIG TWD episode
Mr. Ballen: former navy seal turned to like button torturer😂
There must be some history between them!
Shhh the like button is around
Freedom ain't free... neither are likes lol
no cap i got arrested bc he told me not to pay 😔🤡
Biggest Fear? Binge watching all of Mr. Ballen’s stories, and then having to wait for him to upload each new one.
same, i want to not watch these before bed, partially because i want good sleep but mainly because i don't want to run out of the backlog
I swear. It's been like a week & I still haven't got through them all yet but at this rate I will 😭😭
@@christypoe4538 I know....is their a support group for Ballen withdrawal
@@teen_laqueefa 😂 we should make one lol
@@christypoe4538 I'm Ballen right now baby!!!
Bob is a walking W! Hats off to this man.
I talked about how you tell stories. The way you tell it. But how you can bring the creepiness out. You make it entertaining. God bless
Thank God that dog is ok! I was worried he was gonna have a bad ending since he seemed like a badass.
Lol guts
With a name like Guts he has to be a badass 😆
Someone reads berserk
Fr
RESPECT to You Megs.... have love for ppl worried enough to ask/comment about the well being of animals/dogs in these situations.... ✊
Bob cats screams sounds like a woman screaming. Can give you chills.
I can’t imagine being in the woods, and then hearing that......😬
@@evanabbott2737 First time me and my family heard one in the woods behind our house at night we actually thought it was a child or women screaming for help. It was pretty bone chilling until we found out the next day what it was. It stuck with me ever since their sound is very distinctive.
Bob Cats sound crazy enough the way it is.
So foxes. SyFy’s Fact or Fiction tried to claim a fox sound in a swamp was a ghost. It was obviously a fox
Yeah but the guy who didn't even know about what happened telling him about the same cabin with an old woman and a bobcat?? C'mon man...its not that hard to admit there are weird and mysterious things in this crazy world. There is a lot more than just us humans in this entire I universe too. To say otherwise is very egotistical imo.
Bob is the most sane and intelligent person that has gone into the woods in any of these stories
Windy loved it!
