☠︎ 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!! ☠︎
the only man to ever scatter his own ashes and live to tell the tale
I was thinking the same thing. You beat me to it. Lol 😆
@@SooSmokie she’s just saying that it’s a crazy story
@@thatkindaguy8653 I don't need you to explain things to me. I can read
But have you heard of the man who had his foot amputated took the limb home and made tacos out of for he and his friends? He held a mini funeral for the rest of it, made a cardboard coffin stuffed it with flowers and buried. According to his Reddit ama he tastes like chewier Buffalo 😂
Ikr!
I wonder if anyone has told Aaron the brilliance of his decision to wait a few days before he amputated his arm…it allowed him to get severely dehydrated, making him bleed less and undoubtedly saved his life.
Very good point...from a fellow nurse
It might inspire me to carry a tourniquet.
I saw the movie years ago but I thought he made a tourniquet out of his clothing. 🤔 But either way, you're right in the fact of less bleeding due to the viscosity of the blood once dehydrated.
@@lush1hector418 very good point... from a CMM operator.
@@brahtrumpwonbigly7309 you’re so clever
The dude who chopped his arm off actually said afterwards that after he had that dream where he had one arm, when he woke up, he felt like the arm that was trapping him was no longer a part of his body, like he felt that it was a foreign object at that point.
Which means his brain had fully accepted the reality that the only way to survive is to lose the arm, so his brain shut the arm out.
It's crazy what our survival instincts can make us do when pushed.
That is really interesting. It's kind of the opposite of "phantom sense". Instead of the body thinking a body part is there when it's not, this body decided that the arm was "already gone"
Nahhh... it's because it cut off the circulation
And just goes on to show that dreams are true reflection of our subconsciousness he didn't realise it but deep down his brain was already convinced that cutting the arm off would be the only way to survive and it just showed that to him in his dream
I’m guessing that his elbow was not accessible or he could’ve severed the ligaments and tendons. He surely would’ve bled to death before he climbed out considering all the exertion required to get out of there. There’s no mention of how he stopped bleeding or how he could run after being so dehydrated with part of his are missing
Dude pissed on the bolder with his arms ashes. I feel like that’s badass.
I hate dishes, Mr Ballen. With a passion. They are my most relentless enemy. Whenever I finish dishes, voila, they invited their friends and family and there is more. But now… I love dishes. I turn on your stories and listen while I wash them. I even look forward to it now. The kitchen has never been cleaner. My wife has never been happier. You have saved my marriage. Thank you.
There's something called a dishwasher.
Hahaha I do the same thing!
@@najeehaamid5194 yea not everyone has one of those, genius.
I do this too! Even dropped my phone in the water whilst watching 👀
🤣
I met Aron at a climbing gym a couple years ago, he's a super cool dude, and despite losing an arm still is able to climb better than most people I've ever seen! The guy doesn't let his injury hold him back!
Dude sounds like a champ.
And arrested for domestic violence...hmmm
@@alexisvalere4095 really?
@@alexisvalere4095 Pretty sure all those charges were dropped.
@@alexisvalere4095 if you're going to tell the story tell it all that she basically abused him first hitting him in the head he had to move her out the way which she called shoving to get out the door and away from the situation the charges against him were completely dismissed while she was eventually convicted of all three charges against her which was domestic violence injury to a minor because her eight week year old baby was present and disturbing the peace we often forget that men can be victims of domestic violence as well and standard operating procedure now is to arrest both parties unless it's clear and visible that only one party was injured in the altercation.
Scattering your own ashes is the most metal thing I’ve ever heard
personally i wouldve worked them into an instrument of some kind but thats just me haha
You cant kill the metal, the metal will live on....Tenacious D
Agree 🤘
Really?? It is the most hippie thing I ever heard😜👍👍
Listening to the story of Larry and the symptoms he exhibited reminded me of a similar diabetic episode I myself had in the past. When my BG level got down to 15ish (normal is 70-99) I was hallucinating and paranoid but luckily my wife at the time found me naked stuck in my closet which was only four foot square but I couldn't get out. The hallucination and sugar aspect made me think of the diabetic episode.
I was about to ask if there was any diabetic out there that thought this might've been a possibility. Thanks for answering my question!
Wow. Thank you for sharing my dear
Yeah, when my blood sugar gets incredibly low the symptoms are insane. I've been a diabetic for almost 25 years, most of my life, and it was only 2019 when I first started experiencing intense hypoglycemia. It felt like I was dreaming, nothing felt real, one time I drove around aimlessly trying to get home. Ended up crashing into a security bar for a gated neighborhood, confused why it wasn't letting me through. I'm really lucky nobody got hurt and I didn't get in trouble. The sheer dissociation is hard to explain unless you've experienced it.
@@rwbyab7423in Switzerland you are not allowed to drive without confirming your blood sugar is high enough by law, if you are diabetic - driving hypoglycaemic is actually like driving drunk
@@SaraMKaywow, that’s crazy! Some people don’t even realize that their sugar is dropping until it’s too late. Your country must have a law that prevents anything from happening because they make them bring their medication and meters with them wherever they go? That’s actually pretty smart!
I love morbid stories but I also hate that I love them because they always make me anxious and paranoid for my own health/safety. But they're always so fascinating and I keep coming back for more....rest in peace to everyone on this channel who didn't survive their unforunate circumstances. Your stories are haunting but we will never forget you.
L00l0
Well said
They make me appreciate my life and my family. 😊
I have never related to something so deeply before. These stories give me phobias that I don't even need, bc I would never put myself in a situation to get there. Like getting trapped while cave diving? Yea, I don't even go to the beach.
@@Carolinejoyamicowell you should since u only have them till the tube sock killer finds you.
Who else randomly found this channel one day and can’t stop watching
Best random act I’ve ever done! TTFN ✌🏼🙏🏼🧿🧼🖐🏼

Me
Yeah, that's me
Me lol
“He scattered his ashes” that’s something you hear everyday
Yeah, it's not everyday someone gets to spread their own ashes.
😭😭😭😭
Hehe I’m 420 like
@Ziggy Stardust, no shit... genius. You were too busy being excited, thinking you found a comment you could correct me on and totally missed the meaning. Good job... genius.
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Aarons story hits home- when I was in high school was just a few years after he had survived the incident. He would go to local high schools and explain safety while climbing and to always always always let someone know where you are going.
He’s a super nice guy- and he has a look on life that few people can achieve and completely understand.
I believe it! And the movie they made was really good! Very realistic in its bleakness, but also inspiring.
Peenuses dangling down like a rain forest. Hundreds of dangling peenuses. Monkey runs and jumps off a cliff qand grabs a peenus! The monkey swings and jumps from peenus to peenus and goes across the whole forest off flaccid peenuses
Aron Ralston's will to live was incredible I am so impressed and shocked. It seems in survival stories, the will to live ends up being what drives people to find solutions to problems and keep going and end up surviving against the odds.
True! I pray to never be in a situation like that, but damn. By the way, I love your screen name! 😺😺
Jigsaw was right all along.
@@spookyblush-speedruns I went looking for this reply lmao
I've must have heard the 127 hour story a million times, but something about the way Ballen is telling it makes it feel incredibly scary again.
Great movie aswell
bro i said something like this the other day too lol it was a another story i heard a bunch of times but i listened anyway cuz the way he tells the story is just top tier 😂
I really liked the movie, but it made me give up outdoor rock climbing.
That’s Mr. Ballen to you lol (jk don’t come for me)
I remember seeing him on The Montel Williams Show YEARS ago.
A lot of good stuff MrBallen leaves out, for time I get it, but a lot of good stuff.
Imagine being the recovery crew and finding out that after all the work you did to retrieve this guy's arm he goes back and throws it back in
LMAO 🤣.
Literally, insult to injury. 😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He did it, because he knew he was given a chance, and his arm was the payment. He did not want any bad medicine in his new life from then on, so he gave back what he owed to land in exchange for his life.
This is the old way.
@@alpeter3787 pretty sure the person that made the comment was just saying it to be funny & kind of fucking around
That is some utterly amazing sheer determination by Aaron. Can you imagine the amount of people who could go through the bad conditions that he did, come up with the idea to break their arm and then cut through it with a dull knife, somehow actually execute that plan while maintaining their sanity, and then climbing over sixty feet with one arm. That is just dumbfounding willpower.
I can’t imagine a better compliment as an actor for the man you’re portraying to say watching your film was basically like watching a documentary on their own life. Such a crazy story!
The movie "Jungle" starring Daniel Radcliffe is much the same. He does an absolutely amazing job!
James Franco sucks though.
Thanks for the awesome feedback last night and this morning.
I am going to incorporate more long form single stories (versus current “Top 3” model I’ve been jamming down your throat 😂) starting next week.
Also, missing 411 will be back online after Christmas!
🙏
Yessssssss🙌🏻
Looking forward to missing 411 coming back!
Mk! :D
Good stuff
I felt bad for how I worded my Comment. I should've been less abrasive. I honestly didn't think you would even read it.
Anyways, you responded in an incredibly professional and respectful manner. Exactly what we've come to expect from you.
Looking forward to seeing what you create in the future.
Moral of the story is: if you are going to be gone on a hike or whatever make sure you tell someone before you leave.
All that education and zero common sense. Until I found this channel I had no idea how many people go out hiking/swimming/caving/etc without telling a soul and without any backup plan. Blows my mind.
Yo, I’m heading on a hike, if I don’t comment back in a year can you check up on me?
Yes that is the universal rule for doing anything adventurous I can not express how important it is that you notify friends/ family that you have gone you should also set a deadline to your family tell them to call 911( or the emergency number wherever you live )
@@bryangibson6211 Why hike for a year...

Mr. Ballen becomes completely immersed into his stories. He is so empathetic that it feels like he is reliving other people's experiences.
Although I already knew the ending to the third story it always shatters me when mentally ill people don't get the right treatment and therefore lose their lives.
Larry was clearly showing signs of hallucinations and paranoia. These don't generally come with a depression.
Antidepressants generally take about 3-4 weeks of daily intake to show first signs of effect. No antidepressant works in one day.
If a person is clearly that distressed and unable to live a normal life anymore, also because at that time they potentially are a threat to themselves, they need to be hospitalized asap.
Larry's death could have easily been prevented.
The doctor misjudged and the family did too. Sadly Larry was the one to lose his life from this.
Seriously, I need to know what the doc said and actually prescribed.
Getting a patient whos disoriented and hallucinating and offering them a zoloft is most definitely medical malpractice
Love your username, and I totally agree. He was completely misdiagnosed if he was prescribed an antidepressant, and his parents were not informed of how antipsychotic meds work, if they were just sending him off to bed, having visual and auditory hallucinations, and hoping one pill will have an effect on his condition in 12 hours (overnight). This is negligence at its finest. I also question why he wasn't held for observation for at least 72 hours, especially once his history was revealed, before prescribing something that was erroneous.
I'm pretty sure the guy developed overnight schizophrenia or something among those lines. If he had been immediatly hospitalized and given the right meds his life would have been saved.
Thank you for pointing that out. I was so confused when Mr Ballen mentioned that the antidepressants didn't help within a few hours and then that the mom hoped they'd work until the next day, because that's just not how they work. And I agree that this case was absolutely misjudged and he should've been kept on the psych ward for a while until they made sure he's on the right medication and doing better. What a tragic and unnecessary death
Exactly what I thought! What kind of Dr thinks a person gets depression over night and that the symptoms would be feeling disoriented and not knowing where they are?! That's not hoe depression works at all. That dr was extremely lazy and just wanted to throw pills at the problem and be done with it, instead of actually doing his job and finding the real problem. I bet he didn't even do any blood tests either. He should definitely be charged with medical malpractice.

Aaron actually had to break his arm twice because there are two different bones in the forearm, so I can't even imagine what that must've been like, let alone the fact that he also had to cut through the nerve with that crappy knife
That man is a beast. What he did to save his own life is incredible. Aaron, you are amazing. 🌹

I have never been addicted to anything until now. Mr. Ballen is the best storyteller I have ever encountered.
I mean technically you've always been addicted to food, water, and air... (I know, asshole response lol)
It's worth noting with the third story that antidepressants don't work immediately! For most people, it takes 2-3 weeks minimum to feel any difference, even longer to know for sure exactly how the medication makes you feel. The only thing you'll feel within a day of taking them are side effects, unfortunately :(
i saw 127 hours last year, i literally can’t even walk a mile without feeling like i’m dying and i’m healthy and young. i couldn’t imagine climbing 65 feet after just cutting off my own arm, starving and dehydrated. i would’ve died from sheer anxiety after like 10 minutes
10 minutes? That long? You're better than I am...
Then runs 6 miles till he finds help. Wow.
Yeah. No kidding. And what about when he had to go to the bathroom? Would he stop and squat or just 💩 his 👖 while 🚶🏻. Because every time you stop you have to decide whether to keep going or stay and die. And you'd die in your own 💩.
When the human body and soul is on the verge of death, the impossible becomes possible
I would have panic attack and die of panic attack

I'm from Nebraska and live just an hour away from the town in Iowa where Larry went missing. When the story of his body being discovered broke, so many people talked about how bad that No Frills smelled. Everyone assumed it was rotting food.
The smell of a decomposing body is wretched! And although I’m fairly certain Larry passed relatively quickly due to little or lack of oxygen, it baffles me that store management never tried to find the source of the smell.
Also, the fact no one, not detectives or his coworkers or anyone at the store put 2 and 2 together. Sad story.
I don't understand why the management didn't try to find the source of the smell. That's probably why they went out of business, I wouldn't want to shop in a store that smelled like that either.
That last story is really upsetting to hear about again. I’m from that town he died in and I used to go to that store with my parents all time and when I heard about that horrible accident it was really upsetting to hear about because nothing ever happens here. May he rest is peace
Cudos to Wisconsin dude for being able to recognize Tim after seeing him only once...10yrs earlier & giving his fam the peace of bringing him home & saying goodbye.
True!
I wanna know why he didn't notify the authorities when he found the human ice cube.
@@mattymayhem1232 he did, they just couldn't identify him
Honestly, finding a person literally frozen in a block of ice in the middle of the woods somewhere in Wisconsin would probably become a personal core memory
@@morgansours4471 🤣🤣ikr
The first story is the first that I’ve heard from this series where the person gets out alive FINALLY 😭
It's not the only one, fortunately. Watch "Insane survival stories", if you're looking for a positive.
Good to be alive!
Guess you haven't heard of the movie either
@@TheDualDv8 "first (...) from this series" where hero lives.
Yesssss me too 👏🏾👏🏾.. I was wondering if he would cover any stories where there were suvivors and I'm glad he did, it just puts a smile on my face 😊😊
It's truly beyond amazing what the human mind and body are capable of when in survival mode. I'm so happy that Aron made it through and is doing as well as he is!
My navy seal friends always watch this guy. He’s such a good story teller
Mr.Ballen was also a Navy Seal.
2:41 "He was able to sit fairly comfortably, besides his arm being crushed." I'm always relieved when that happens.
🤣🤣
Besides his arm being crushed lol curve ball 😂
For the "frozen" man, leaving $10 in the bank probably meant that his account would stay opened. So, no information would alarm anyone about his account, i.e. it would buy him some time before anyone would realize he was gone.
Nice hypothesis
Its sad. There was no info on why he left like that. And ended up in ice. Like he could fight back if it were a regular person. But was it some kind of force that made him do that ? So many ?s
@John Peter Iirc back in the day you could take $10 out. I think that changed some time in the '90s.
That or he was using an ATM that only allowed increments of 20
Aaron is the definition of legend. I really hope he was able to start his family!
" Between a rock and a hard place. " The book is priceless.
The number of times people have noticed a bad smell in a place and some time later a body was found there, you'd think people would investigate thoroughly sooner.
It feels like they didn’t even investigate the freezer or anything to check for bad food. Even if they did, the smell would clearly still be there if they decided to throw food out that they thought it was bad… so you would think that they would be just a bit curious and will try to take off the wall or a bit of the wall at that point… especially if they know someone who work there went missing.
you'd be surprised how long it would take a grocery store to actually have something like that taken care of. While it's not a Dead body, the store I work at, the Plumbers actually broken their camera snake in the pipes and got it stuck down there, so now we have to be careful to not use too much water when cleaning our our entire Produce department will be walking in sewage water in the back. The only way to fix it is to have the floor torn up to get tot he broken equipment in the pipes. Which I doubt will happen cause that would cost money and time they don't want to spend. I could totally see the Store trying to cover up the bad smell 1000 times over before they'd ever think to actually check behind the cooler, I wouldn't have been surprised to hear if they thought it was a dead rodent and just didn't want to take care of it. Lots of stuff that makes zero sense business wise goes on behind the Grocery store front.
I feel so bad for the family of the young man who died in the grocery store. That poor kid, what a sad story.
My thing is if that was a spot that employees used to hide from managers how was he not found for 10 years?
He fell and was pinned behind something. They probably smelled him but didn't see him and just figured it was a dead animal or something. So sad.
If that man saw him, why didn't he report finding remains in thr woods IMMEDIATELY? I'm probably missing something there. Like the guy that found the burnt car from the Yosemite Murders. He found it, took the LP, and kept it for several days. The thing is, I knew the man who towed that car out, and you could clearly see their charred bodies through the trunk it was right by my house. If I found a dead body, I'd report it right away.
He did report the body, but because his body was decomposed and he didn’t have any ID on him the police weren’t able to identify him.
@@softpearreactsnorma5430 oh I see. I misunderstood. I thought he didn't report it at first. My bad.
So glad you covered Larry’s case! I live in Iowa and I remember when they found his body but I couldn’t find a lot of information on how he got to where he was or what lead to all of this.
Aaron is so brave! I don't think I could ever do that! God bless him! He deserves to live!
You notice how he doesn't use his right arm after the boulder falls in the story? Dudes a real storyteller.
This has better content than any Discovery or History channel show.
Oh my goodness. You are right. He never uses his R arm again after Aaron gets pinned. Good catch. And Mr Ballen thank you for being the most authentic storyteller I have ever heard. Bev from Oklahoma
I hopes he makes a full recovery

woah thats gay
DANG IT!! 😤 I seem to ALWAYS get sooo wrapped up in Mr. Ballen's incredible story telling, as well as the stories themselves, that I *KEEP FORGETTING to* l👀k *for the secret that I'm supposed to be* l👀king *for!! lol!* 😄😆🤣😂
That kid 1200 miles away 10 years later in the block of ice blows my mind, I would love to know what happened to him and how he ended up there
if he was murdered dude mustve been hit man at that point
I’d like to know why that guy never reported the body when he found it. He found it ten years earlier and said nothing until he saw it on tv and probably thought reward money or something.
@@John-uh4rv He did tho? Police was called? But the body had no personal items to indicate who he was
@@EllaMato unless I heard it wrong it sounded like he didn’t report it until ten years later when he saw it on tv. Then they dug it out of the ice.
@@John-uh4rv Maybe. I understood it that police was called right away but they could not identify the person so he was buried but the person who found it remembered the face so well that when he saw it in tv he recogniced that it was that same person and called them about it and they did a dna test and therefore this nameless person was identified. But I listened to this story just one time while doing other stuff so maybe I got it wrong
So he saw this dead person, called the police who could not figure out who this person was but since he remembered the face of the person who was in the ice, when he saw the same face on tv they were able to put 2 and 2 together
When he said 5 days my heart sank. I cant even begin to imagine being stuck under a boulder for 5 hours, 5 days is unfathomable. When I tried to imagine it I shuddered
what about the guy stuck behind the freezers until he died? probably from starvation or dehydration.. people all around him but no one can hear him.
@@Ruebz_f30 slow terrible death
5 seconds here. Shit. As soon as I see the Boulder make contact
Better change your tampon
@@peepbo3964 dang you must be speaking from personal experience huh. Sorry buddy
It was so good to hear of a story that had a happy ending. Aron...what a brave dude.
I can't ever think to look for the secret because you are so into the story, I can't think to look for anything else. Great job!
In the 3rd story about Larry--the guy who died after getting stuck behind the freezers--it sounds like he likely had a schizophrenic break. Often times schizophrenia appears in people around late adolescence or early adulthood which is exactly how old Larry was. Also, the most common signs or symptoms of schizophrenia include visual and auditory hallucinations, delusional thoughts, and especially hearing voices in your head telling you to do irrational things. Either that or it sounds like he could have tried methamphetamine, aka speed, for the first time and did way too much and had a psychotic break because of it, as the symptoms are also similar to the ones Larry reportedly had. However, its far more likely he had a schizophrenic break since there was no history of drug use.
Sad story.
I am very sure it was. I live in the town this happened. The doctors here really don't listen to you. All they do is give you pills.
I thought it sounded like schizophrenia also and you're right about the age and symptoms but it's usually activated by stress and comes on more gradually than that. That was either a sudden psychotic break brought on by something organic or drug use, as you suggested, or something like Encephalitis. Perhaps he was exposed to some kind of toxin at work but then others at his job would have had symptoms
OR it was the pills that his mom recently got him for anxiety. Could have been a bad reaction. But to find a body rotting behind the freezer 10 years later is disgusting. That body had to be all bones by that time.
@@Irish_Georgia_Girl Yeah, it does sound like it came on rather suddenly, however, who knows how long he'd been keeping his thoughts and feelings to himself before apparently completely losing it. And also, his mother must have noticed changes in his mood and behavior for at least a good while before he had his "mental break" and disappeared, as she's the one who helped him get on the prescription medication(s) he was being given to help deal with whatever issues he was initially experiencing and she apparently noticed. Further, it usually takes a little while for a psychiatrist to prescribe psych meds, sometimes as long 3 or 4 weeks or however long it takes them to feel comfortable not only diagnosing an individual, but then deciding which type of psych med they want to prescribe. So I suppose my point is I'm not too certain how sudden his psychological descent came on, and it seems to me that it could have been far more gradual than anyone thought. But im far from certain, so who knows.
And speaking of the prescription meds, I forgot if Mr. Ballen said, but presumably he had been prescribed either a benziodiazipine for anxiety, an anti-depressant, or perhaps even an anti-psychotic depending on his symptoms at the time and whether he had already showed any of the signs or symptoms of severe mental illness that he'd eventually exhibit before he disappeared. And with that in mind, any/all of those drugs can have some pretty nasty side effects, though benzos have the least serious psychological side effects and are the least common, while anti-depressants are far more common and have far more nasty potential side effects including suicidal thoughts that lead to serious suicide attempts, mental fog and confusion, feeling lost and disoriented, etc. And finally, anti-psychotics have far more, far worse, and far more common potential psychological side effects similar to the ones he exhibited.
And lastly, if you've read this far, I never thought of the possibility he could have been exposed to some toxin. And I admittedly don't know much about encephalitis, so I'll have to look into that. Whatever the case, it's a mystery and a tragic one at that.
@Deck Diva or maybe something happen during is shift who know
"He scattered his ashes" is a surreal sentence.
"He lowered his own casket into the grave."
@@kingayy9267 MrBeast be like:
Larry's Story is spooky. I knew who you were talking about right away.
Still addicted to Mr Ballen!
I feel like I wouldn’t be able to break my arm in any circumstance. I was cringing just hearing about what he had to do.
I feel the same way.. I think in situations like this, people are just in a completely different mindset, like it’s truly life or death. Like something regular people in day to day life can’t fathom.
its called survival people will do anything to survive
It doesn't hurt nearly as much as you think but mentally it's a difficult task no doubt..
Dont worry, it doesnt come now since we are social animals. But during life or death situations we will run off instincts and not thought and we do anything to survive no matter how immoral or disgusting it truly is.
Right you hear in his other stories of people who turn into survival mode eating bugs and whatever without thought, but still makes you truly ponder daily life we live in lol
Aron Ralston is such a badass. And I love the happy little coda to his story: His "vision" came true some time after his escape, when he became the father of a little boy named Leo.
He still pisses me off for being so BRAINLESS! You never go into a canyon, alone, and don’t tell anyone where you’re going. It is beyond stupid.
@@icarusbinns3156 He learned from that mistake though. So NOT brainless, he had been cocky and got taken down a peg.
@@annoyedshedevil does not change the fact he still went. He did a Dumb and was forced to face his unthinkingness. Great, he lived. It was still stupid
@@icarusbinns3156 genuin sound like you hate, this is a story about survival not stupidity that isn't the priority.
@@icarusbinns3156 weird that you just ignore his actions and his situation with just *great he lived* lol let the guy live happy. He is alive he doesn't need ppl like you talking like this.
14:20 It takes more than a day for medicine to work lmao
Aaron's story all be it horrific just shows the human will to survive!! Plus i've seen the movie 127 hours and James Franco does a fantastic job of portraying the absolute sheer horror of Aaron's situation.
I think at this point everybody randomly found this channel and can’t stop watching.
Facts!🤣🤣💯
yup
found2 days ago and watched like 50 ep.
That's me lol
That's how you find every channel on yt
“And then he BROKE his arm.” Gag.
Life lessons I learned from Mr Ballen:
1: If the sign says don't go in/don't do it, don't go in or do it
2: Don't go into chimneys
3: Don't go cave diving
4: Don't go diving
5: Don't go caving
6: Always always tell someone where you're going, especially if you're going anywhere weird. Give a full itinery and always give a timetable. If you're not back, call the cops
7: Always have your cellphone on you, even when going to the bathroom lol
8: If you hear a weird noise or banging, you should call the cops. It's not worth being wrong.
9: Get yourself friends who will believe you
10: Never give up
Mr.Ballen deserves to be on Netflix or any streaming service. He's brilliant the way he tells these stories.
Netflix isn't worthy
@@estieFa very true
Regarding the story of Larry: Nearly all anti-depressant medications take weeks to start having an effect. If he had previously had panic attacks/ anxiety, he should have been given anti-anxiety medication, which often can produce positive results within 24 hours. Anxiety and depression present distinctly different symptoms and require distinctly different medications. In fact some anti-depressants can exacerbate anxiety. So, if his family was expecting an anti-depressant to start making him better in one day, they were misinformed. As the story says, the doctor "quickly prescribed" an anti-depressent and If a physician confuses depression and anxiety behaviors, that physician may not have had experience in this area, and thus provided medication that produced a psychotic break and a tragic outcome.
Anxiety and depression (most forms) are best treated with the same drug. The most effective treatment for anxiety is an anti-depressant medication like SSRIs. But yes they do take several weeks to work and benzos could have been used temporarily until the antidepressants started working, but I bet neither would have helped this guy. This didn't sound anything like an anxiety problem. Sounds like he had new onset paranoid schizophrenia or some other type of psychosis. He needed antipsychotics.
This is not the case usually. Anxiety and depression are comorbid, meaning they are often coinciding. Anxiety is usually treated with the same medication that is given to treat depression (e.g., Prozac, Lexapro, Zoloft, and other SSRIs/SNRIs.). These meds often take 4-6 weeks before you really start to feel the effects of them. You are right, though, that there are medications used specifically to treat anxiety/panic attacks, which include lorazepam and other benzodiazepines. These usually only take about 20-30 minutes to start working. But overall, depression and anxiety share very similar symptoms and it’s very common for people to have both of them at the same time.
It sounds the man had a psychotic break, which would make sense because psychosis can cause extreme anxiety.
@@erinkrabill23 Lol, thought this reply was to me for a second but we said pretty much the same thing.
@@cody555903 Haha, that’s true!!😂
@@cody555903 Not disagreeing on this case at all, but some anxiety and depression cases are actually comorbid upon one another or OTHER conditions entirely.
Mine was caused by ADHD, so antidepressants, SSRIs etc did nothing over and over. I needed an ADHD treatment that then made my depression and anxiety ease up as they were a byproduct of that initial condition. Lots of mental health is connected, but parts of the issue can be major iron or vit D deficiencies, need of SSRI, need of stimulant, etc etc.
There's a reason we need psychiatrists, this shit is so fucking complex 😭
I was 20 years old before a doc bothered to see my iron levels, I was .01% above official anemic levels. There's so many strange reasons and solutions to these problems. And unfortunately yes, a lot of them take a while to truly work.
Got stuck in the elevator with the CEO of my small local hospital for an hour yesterday. Not as intense as these but still not fun
That’s brutal!!
Did you cut your arm off?
I would of started play MrBallen without saying anything 😆
Dude that sucks 🤣
And you were the only one comming out alive or?
Thank you SO MUCH for telling "the rest of the story" about the man who was found behind the freezer. I have wanted more details ever since I heard that story.
Found him yesterday and I can't stop watching. Such a great storyteller
Can we acknowledge how lucky we are to have him telling stories and he reads EVERY SINGLE COMMENT WE WRITE he is so awesome ❤️🥺👉👈✨
Well, he's great... but he hardly reads every comnent,.. He clearly says he will reply to every EARLY comment and that means in the first hour or so I have noticed. Otherwise,.. Totally! ;")
Yeah... He does not read every single comment.. The more he blows up the less he's going to care about his subs.. Pretty soon it's going to b all about his patreon members.. That's just my opinion
ew, you disgust me
@@sylviaparraz6963 I hate your last opinion...this dudes a navy seal he has principles and heart and youtube likes isnt going to change his personality in the least.. Honestly I dont follow youtubers but he has more heart and dedication than some... I feel like this is his release, if wants to be here for views hed invite other youtubers get names in their..nope just him,mic, camera and he gets to tell his stories hes learned.. And we all come closer til these messages make people doubt someones integrity

Me too lol
After binging this channel I know there are 3 things I will never try in my life
1.Spelunking
2.Cave diving
3.Ignore a warning sign/safety barrier.

there are probably multiple guys hiding in your walls and your attic right now, waiting for you to go to bed. also, don't forget the ouija demons under your basement stairs
“He was able to sit fairly comfortably, besides his arm being crushed…”
As I am binge watching Mr.Ballen RUclips, Facebook keeps recommending me similar content creators. But oh man! Every time it makes me realise how good Mr.Ballen is in this genre.
Dude, I’m just confused on why in the last story his parents didn’t take him right back when he said he heard voices. That’s not anxiety or depression lmaooo
Also, antidepressants do not work after one dose....
I live in the town where this happened.
@@nicoled1767 Nope, they take weeks to kick in. It sounds like he was having a psychotic break which can happen without warning. I worked in a psych admission unit for years and we had one university professor that had taught that day and was perfectly fine but was brought in 5 hours after they got home hearing voices and out of control..
Actually severe depression can cause hallucinations but not really like the ones he decribed
@Mitchell Bisesi ~OMG THANK YOU! I was beginning to wonder if I was the only one wondering that!;!
I don't have the willpower to get out of bed somedays. Can't even fathom breaking my own arm and then CUTTING IT OFF
The guy from 127 hours (Aron Ralston) I met him in person, he's a really cool dude.. thank you for taking the time to talk about him.
God love Aaron !! He’s a hero !! He was destined to live ❤
I love that this guy is so detailed with the story. I don’t even have to watch the video, I just do housework and listen.
True
Wow, you do housework?? Are you single? Lol 😆
@@williamtanguay2781 lolol

“i’m sure that felt pretty good to feel like you cut your arm off and that was the right decision”
that’s not a sentence i ever thought i’d hear
9:41 a teeny tiny thumbs up on the bottom left side!! I can’t believe I found one!!!!!! Anthony look at me now lol
Bummer you didn’t get pinned by Mr. Ballen. Looks like you’re the only one who found it! Good job!
That's incredible. He's probably the only person who can say that they scattered their own ashes.
I like that he can tell stories and talk on here without using a stupid voice and antics that we all know nobody does in real life.
The antidepressants would not work in a day or two. It usually takes a few weeks for them to become effective. It sounds like he was schizophrenia.
He was schizophrenia.
Apparently schizophrenia has no warning signs and doesnt have to be inherited, so its very likely
It's really compelling watching. John ballen must have done a huge amount of research for all these stories!!
Mr.Ballen’s telling of 127 hours is better than the movie with James Franco 😂

He saw a body and didnt tell anyone until he watched a TV show? why wouldnt he have called it in.
Put it on the State welcoming sign in spray paint.
@@OOZiTen he did. The cops retrieved the body but has no means of identifying and notifying next of kin. Had he not seen the show, the family would probably have never known. To the cops, he was just the latest in a long list of John Does. Only because, to the man who found him, the discovery of a dead body was a totally new and frightening experience, did he remember the face so vividly.
Sooo not funny - but extremely funny😰😂😂
You won't understand how good I feel when the victims/victim survive in a mrballen story.

I work in refrigeration, and i’m top of Walk-in coolers, and Walk-in freezers all the time. I can personally attest to the fact that there are LARGE voids between walk-in boxes, and surrounding walls. The reason for the void is to prevent condensation from forming on the walls, and rotting out the surrounding brick or block walls. Anyone that goes up on top, needs to aware, and very very careful not to fall in those voids.
For me it all started when I was researching how many people go missing in the US every year and never found that put me onto the missing 411 series and that connected me to Mr Ballen ! I have been obsessed ever since!
Shout out to James Franco for cutting off his arm in order to make that movie realistic and making one of today’s top stories possible 🙌🏼 you the real MVP bruh 👊🏼
And dats on period🌷✌😝
Ummmm.... but he didn’t tho???
@@Shakariwilliams.0830 its a joke and now you ruined it :/
@Stink Fingers McGee i did but I quit because everyone kept laughing at me
@@Shakariwilliams.0830 r/wooosh
He didn't fall behind there, he was trying to hide. When you first hear about him seeing hallucinations and running around, it sounds a bit humorous; however, mental illness is nothing to joke about. If anyone you know, family, friend, or otherwise, please reach out to help them. They will almost certainly tell you everything's fine, and if they are sick, nothing is further from the truth. Don't tell them to call and seek help, because that can be just as terrifying. You need to make the call, or if you aren't particularly close to the individual, tell someone who is. Impress on them that this is an emergency and tomorrow could be too late. Later could be too late. A phone call can save a life.
I had the same thought, he probably squeezed into the tightest possible space to feel safe. Really fucking horrific to imagine. I just pray that he was so far gone mentally that he didn't really comprehend the terror.
This is good advice. People who are depressed or have an anxiety disorder will not want to seek help, their illness is causing them to think irrationally and they may want to hide away from everyone or even commit suicide. They need a friend or loved one to help them, they are not going to help themselves.
Call 911 if you see someone who might be having a psychiatric emergency. It saves lives and allows for a 72 hour psych hold to evaluate the patient in a safe environment. It doesn't matter if you know them or not.
Going through the US court system as a mentally ill person is a huge trauma that has lifelong consequences and involves the loss of civil liberties for years afterward
Knowing how mentally ill people are treated by police, how could anyone suggest calling cops on a loved one because they're sick?
Have any of you ever dealt with the consequences of this? Google it ffs. Take them to the hospital if you have to
@@no_peace Sadly that's the God honest truth. If you call the police they stick you in the "suicide prevention unit," which is a cold, empty space. They take away your clothes and your dignity. They give you want amounts to a rug with Velcro to wear, a plastic bed and a blanket that might as well be card board. The police don't care about helping these people, they just isolate them and take away anything and everything that one could potentially use for self harm. No books, no paper, no pencils, no underwear, no pants, no shoes, not even any toilet paper or soap, nothing. They lock you up for 23 hours a day and let you out for maybe most of 1 hour to take a shower and brush your teeth, with someone watching you from a few feet away to make sure you don't try anything in the curtain-less shower. They do nothing to actually help. You need to call a hospital or a help line. The only time you should ever call 911 is if they have just attempted or are actively trying to commit suicide. The police don't give a shit as long as you don't die in their custody.
Please please make more videos. I do appreciate your podcasts, but this form of content is much preferred and your storytelling really lends itself so well to this style.
2:02 I immediately knew what was happening. I instantly pictured James Franco/Aron Ralston
I can only count on 1 hand the times listening to MrBallen stories where I actually realized I knew the story being told mid way through.
Just goes to show MrBallen is *THE* Master Story Teller of all time! ❤ He's always able to put so much real raw emotion into his telling and its not some annoyingly fake over exaggerated BS. He also words the stories differently than the over repeated copy and paste, and with amazing chronological order as not to spoil the plot. I also learn new unheard facts from MrBallen! You're the best, I love your work and thank you for your service ❤️
When I die, I want to haunt the crap out of my house just so MrBallen can tell my story.
Smart XD
I saw the story about the guy in the canyon on "I shouldn't be alive." They have a bunch of episodes on RUclips and I highly recommend it. It's amazing how much a human body can endure because of a person's will to survive.
Our family tells a story of a great-aunt who wanted to go to an Old Year's Eve dance, but she had a very painful corn on her right pinkie toe. She put her foot on the chopping block, chopped off the toe with the axe, bound up up the foot and danced the night through. But as far as I've been able to find out nobody remembers her name ...
Yeah it all comes down to the will for action
i love that show. me and my housemate forgot its name for a time so would just say 'do you wanna watch more idiots?' it's really easy to judge more intrepid people from your sofa haha
I found this channel a few days ago and haven't slept just been watching ever since. 2024
Randomly stumbled onto your channel like a week ago when I was watching videos about cave explorations gone wrong. Now your videos are pretty much all I watch. You sir have played me like a fiddle, and I'm completely addicted to your content.
the stories just remind me of all the reasons I should be a lazy couch potato
This makes me proud that I'm lazy😭
Don’t get stuck in the couch one day 😭
friendly reminder mr. bigballen just decided to become a seal one day because he wasn't doing good in school

Lots of people. Just like the hundreds that make the same comment you did

Which storm? By chance the freeze that happened here in TX?
Can’t stop watching
I live across the river from the city where Larry was found behind the freezers in No Frills. And yes, I heard that people were complaining about the smell. So tragic to know no one could hear him.
