Never ever give an over possessive person a second chance once you’ve safely “broken free”...especially if he/she wants to meet up with you alone. It doesn’t usually end well.
If I *HAD* to meet up with a possessive person as a friendship thing, I would bring multiple friends with me and some sort of defense. Obviously I would never tho
@@kalielik there already are cases where the ex-boyfriend killed his ex-girlfriend who did bring her friends with her and he also did kill her friends. So .. don’t Do it.

Thanks for saying he/she. I'm a woman who has been abused and I absolutely hate how people ignore that women can also be abusers/men also get abused. Of course, I don't want anyone to go through that, but we need to acknowledge the fact that it doesn't matter who you are- it can happen to you and all victims deserve healing and justice.

If you can finally break away from an abusive person, NEVER go back. Don't go out on a date. Don't meet for coffee. And certainly do NOT go out in the wilderness with them. Be smart and stay away.
I had $2 Mil insurance and if I had died “accidentally” it would have paid double. Now I have much less, a serviceable amount, but not so much as to become an Incentive! I got out and a couple thousand miles away. 22 years never seen him since. Whew. The men commenting on here truly do not understand cycles of abuse and why it is so hard to not just leave but get away. Statistics show the most lethal time is from the minute she asserts she IS going and then for the next 3 months.
there’s something that you didn’t mention regarding the last story that’s to this day impacting the lives of millions of people: her ordeal caused the mandate that all life saving equipment be orange so that it’s visible Terry Jo has caused hundreds of thousands to be saved from being visible to others out on the ocean
Kind of ridiculous to think a tragedy had to be the cause for something as simple as "let's make things that need to be visible, colored in a vibrant visible color". Makes me wonder how many other things that are just "normal" had a tragedy inspire them to be.
Good to know I’m not the only one! That story actually got to me & my anxiety big time! I guess it just goes to show how great of a storyteller Mr. Ballen actually is when it affects us like that.
Because the scorned in that situation see the person who broke up with them as the source of their emotional stability. A person like that worships with as if they are God. So when the scorned tries to control the person they're in relationship with, they are actually trying to control their own emotional stability because they haven't learned how to build any of their own emotional stability independent of people.
Eem sorry people in this thread are giving that psycho a bit too much credit. "Love" doesn't make someone shoot the person they "love" and push them off a cliff. If you love someone who leaves you , you respect their wishes and let them go and understand you are going to go through a lot of pain and heartache getting over it. The killing was an act of immaturity and disrespect. It was the ultimate act of a controlling manipulator who could no longer control the person. It's "you want to leave my life? Then you don't get to have a life, I'm taking that from you". THAT is not an example of "love makes people do crazy things". That is an example of a person so selfish they should not have been in society in the first place. If it wasn't her, it would have been someone else later on.
I read her autobiography and she actually had major issues in life because of what she was a witness to and it took many years before she could have a happy life. It was a rough road. I highly recommend it. It is called "Alone".
I just can’t fathom how ANYONE would think going on a secluded hike with an emotionally unstable and mentally abusive ex is anywhere close to a good idea.
The point is you never expect the person to actually kill you. He has now got 52 years to serve for it, and you kinda expect people to be more intelligent than that to do that.
I love that he actually finds the true stories behind these photos. I can't count how many times I have seen these photos on click bait vids claiming they have supernatural or ghost related stories behind them, when in reality there are legitimate horrific stories behind them. If not for our hero Mr. Ballen we would never know the truth!!! 🦸🏽♂️
Wonderful Native legend about dolphins >>> Hutash told the people to go across the rainbow bridge and to fill the whole world with people. So the Chumash people started to go across the bridge. Some of them got across safely, but some people made the mistake of looking down. It was a long way down to the water, and the fog was swirling around. They became so dizzy that some of them fell off the rainbow bridge, down through the fog, into the ocean. Hutash felt very badly about this because she told them to cross the bridge. She did not want them to drown. To save them, she turned them into dolphins. Now the Chumash call the dolphins their brothers and sisters.
Terri-Jo was so unbelievably lucky that she was spotted in the ocean, poor kid. How brave she was but the most beautiful part of this horrible story was that the dolphins protected her - they are such wonderful animals. Good that the killer got what he deserved.
Girls, or guys, if you get out of a relationship with someone who is possessive or abusive, make sure you block them on all social media, all numbers, and if they start harassing you, change your number. Its hard, but your safety, your life, is precious Nd worth it. Break up with them in public and make sure all your friends and family know where you are and who you're with.
agree!! I have been in this situation having to go so far as my family even had to have protection detail as well for a few weeks. Crazy does not obey protection orders! I know a lot cannot afford this. Keep your phone with you, don’t go out alone.....My stalker/ex husband ended up in prison
@@chichi775 I'm glad you got out safely and that he ended up where he belonged. Its truly sad that even the people you love could be the ones that end your life. I'm glad I'm happily married because I would not be dating I'm to afraid of the kind if people I could end up with.
One thing missing from the final story, which deserves a full episode to its own, is how this was NOT the first person Julian had killed, he had several cases previously of VERY suspicious insurance claims and previous wives.
It always amazes me how anybody can survive floating around in the ocean on rafts or debris or dinky floats. An 11 year old little girl though, that just saw her entire family dead? That's just miraculous!! I'm so glad those dolphins protected her and I hope she's had such an easy and satisfying life after that. I couldn't have done that at the age I am now!!
The fact that that little 11 year old girl is smarter than I will ever be blows my mind omg. I would’ve gone into shock, I don’t think I ever would’ve thought that fast on my feet.
Story #2 is truly terrifying. I was in a very similar situation with my first boyfriend. I ended it with him and he just didn't want to accept it. I moved to a different town to go to college and he followed me and even moved into my same apartment complex. He started riding the same bus as me to and from campus and he found out which apartment I lived in. He would regularly come to my door, knocking like crazy, yelling that he was going to kill himself if I didn't take him back...etc. I tried so many times to get him to leave me alone but it wasn't until I blocked him from everything and moved back in with my parents that he finally stopped. It's been 11 years since I broke up with him and even though I'm married and he knows this, he will still text me once every other year or so trying to "apologize" for how he acted. My story could've ended up so much worse...
My sister went through something similar and moved back into my parents home for safety sake, they had a mother in law apartment and she moved there. At one point she let him in, and was begging her to take him back (they had a child). He actually went to my dad and asked him to convince her. My dad told him (the guy was saying he would kill himself if she didn't comply). that the only reason he hadn't supplied him with a gun to do was because he didn't want the mess in the house. My dad liters dragged him to his car and kicked him out.
@Mindy-lr4xh your dad is amazing! Lol You and your sister are so lucky to have him looking after you. Must help you feel really safe. I wish I had that kind of protective force when I needed it.
I know right?! Never ever will understand this. No matter how smart a person maybe, doing something like that just doesn't make any sense in ANY way. Common sense, sadly. As for the guy, why feed this boy for 50+ years... take him to the same cliff and you know the rest.
"When Vega (Brandons family name) traveled down the trail to get help, Hoover (police officer) said, he was fatally injured when he fell again - 20 to 30 feet down a rocky ledge. " Statement from the police. For those wondering how could he die 100 meters away with what sounded like being less injured then the girl.
Yet the Japanese kill thousands of dolphins annually kill the competition for food equals more food it’s ridiculously cruel and demands worldwide pressure to end it spread the word
@@deedeemonroe1076 dolphins are natural deterrents for sharks. They were probably protecting her from sharks from what people on the ship said about that little girl surrounded by sharks. They most likely saved her life. It would have been easy for sharks to mistake her as a turtle sharks prey on with her legs dangling out like that.
Terry Jo’s story was terrifying and incredible, the dolphins coming to her rescue was truly beautiful and it warms my heart to know she survived and had what I hope is a happy and fulfilling life 💖
Well I’ve officially watched all of your videos so here’s what I’ve learned Never do the following: -Hike -Camp -Go into caves -Go to Mt. Shasta for any reason -Go into bodies of water I’ve never been more thankful that I’m not outdoorsy
@@zknight4481 oh and never have a girlfriend either. If you get murdered it’s like 90% likely your husband/wife, boyfriend/girlfriend, ex murdered you.
I'm super outdoorsy and I've done most of those things. Now I'm just feeling lucky to be alive. Only almost died once when my kayak got caught in rapids and hit a fallen tree and sucked me under, thankfully my dad was with me and he saved my life.
Gotta respect the boyfriend being absolutely willing to carry his injured girlfriend out of there. He ultimately made the wrong choice for his life but instead of waiting he made the call to go out on his feet trying. Who knows, if they both stayed the chance of them both dying was super high. At least he fought for them both. A good man.
The best thing they could have done in that situation is sit tight and wait for help to arrive. With how easily they got lost, even if he did somehow find help, he'd have no way of leading them back to Salor, so it'd be pointless. Even trying to carry her to keep going when they're already lost was a bad move. All that does is expend more energy, increases chances of further injury, and get more lost.
@@epicrandomperson5555 It's unfortunate that they made the wrong choices at almost every single turn. I guess the takeaway is to learn the basics of what to do when you get lost before going on a hike. It's because of their story that I now know that the best option in this sort of scenario is to try and stay put as best as possible.
But wait a minute. He only made it like a 100 meters, then just died? Of what? She was found in like 24 hours- how was he already dead- he was the strong one. I wish Ballen would have told us what happened to him. Maybe he actually was worse injured in that second fall than he realized. Or maybe he totally realized it, and wanted to get away from her because he knew he wasn't getting out of there.
When a story starts with a young woman I always know what kind of end it's gonna have, especially if she's going off to college or has a boyfriend. But the story about Terry Jo, that's just amazing. What a bright, brave kid. Somebody was looking out for her.
I heard about this story before. About the con artist who planned to kill his wife in the 60s and used a yacht to do it. I don't know if it true or not but I heard that it took Terri years before she talked about it, as in, people didn't know the story until the 70s or 80s.
I like how he tells his story and doesn’t add anything to make them overly scary like chills when he talks it gets annoying. This guy will be at 1 mil in no time
Maybe the girl should sponsor the hair dye company considering it was their hair dye tht saved her life it should be the other way round bc the hair dye saved her life
@@spartansolja2045 sponsor (n.) An individual or organization that pays some or all of the costs involved in staging a sporting or artistic event *in return for advertising*. The OP is actually correct.
@@safe4547 Yeah but shes implying the company should give her free hair dye for life which doesnt make any sense. Unless the girl gave interviews where she often mentioned the name of the hair dye company which resulted in a massive sales spike.
Mr Ballen, my very good friend Matt was dating/in love with Jolee when this happened. Loren had found out they were dating and that text she sent was to Matt before she went on the hike. It’s crazy that I’m watching a MrBallen video on someone I know who was affected by this, but as always, you tell the victim’s stories with the most respect. We always want to assume that everyone has good intentions, give them the benefit of the doubt, and unfortunately, in this instance, it ended in Jolee’s untimely demise and ruined so many peoples lives. I hope Loren rots in prison.
@@TiffanyStarr2141 No they don't, not at all. If they are saving people, it's a purely primal survival instinct situation to which they are attracted, but which they cannot understand. They might be driven to "save" someone, perhaps seeing them as a strange type of their own species, but they won't know why, other than self-preservation of their own kind. One thing is certain, it isn't love. If they have any human-like emotion, they should let us all die, because humans are pretty bad news for animals. To attribute human emotion to animals is deluded. If anything, when another animal prevents a predator from taking a human, they are being stupid, because it would be better for them to allow the kill to made and they themselves would be left alone instead of being predated. Successful life on Earth is down to avoiding being eaten, love, or indeed hate for other creatures, doesn't enter into it. Of course, they are not stupid, we have just developed differently (I won't even say further, because we humans are pretty fucking stupid and mistaken in so many of our ways, to the detriment of our own species, and ultimately the rest in this world around us.)

Mr. Ballen, I'd just like you to know your channel is OUTSTANDING!! There's nothing else like it. I've been a fan since the beginning (RUclips) because Im not a fan of TikTok. With that being said. Please keep doing what you're doing. You're an excellent story teller. The king of campfire spookiness! I have a RUclips channel of my own, which is the profile you see. Would it be alright if I used one of your episodes for a reaction on my channel? If not, it's cool. I just thought I'd ask first out of respect. You'd be surprised how many people wouldn't appreciate that. But just let me know. Keep up the fantastic work. Thank you
So cool that you asked first. Much respect and new sub. It’s hard to find people with respect for others in these RUclips streets lol Looking forward to watching your videos. Have a great day 😀
I can’t stand a man who kills his ex because she doesn’t want him anymore. Dude there are millions of women out there. So selfish and petty. He should have gotten life but hey he may pass away in prison. Lord have mercy!

"Her ex-boyfriend was very possessive and wouldn't let her leave without threatening her, but she still wanted to be friends with him." Notice anything off about that sentence?
@@kalielik i swear it was a lose-lose situation. I can literally imagine myself in her shoes. By saying yes she can possibly make him less angry and upset and therefore less likely to hurt her in the future, cause she'd be giving him what he wants, time with her. And with abuse like that, you do want to get away from the abuser but they'd been together for so long that it was still fresh and she might've been clinging on to him still, even from loneliness too. On her instagram page she posted a meme suggessting she thought he was too good looking for her so she might've even thought that was the most she deserved/could get. It's just really so messy, it's not as simple as someone being "dumb" it's more about every wrong piece connecting to enable the worst situation possible.
@@kalielik yea but police will literally tell you that they can't do anything if the person hasn't actually done harm to you :/ even stalking cases aren't taken seriously by the time something big enouigh would've happened for police to have done something, it would've been too late

The ordeal with Terry Jo is horrible obviously, but it makes my heart melt about the dolphins that protected her. Dolphins and Orcas are incredible friends to mankind. To think, that this monster nearly got away with a massacre had it not been for our friends in the ocean.
Orcas no! those are called killer whales and are vicious hunters. Dolphins can and have hurt (rape) people too, they're individuals like us. Plus they didn't save her...they eventually left bc later she was surrounded by sharks.
@@andikay71 Orca in the wild are peaceful towards humans, the only case of them hurting humans is from captive orca. But anyway, even native peoples have recognized Orca as protectors of mankind in various mythos. Perhaps that is because they are marine mammals and thus share quite a bit in common with humans, but that is my speculation. The point being: Orca are not whales, and despite the intimidating moniker of 'killer whale' they are actually incredibly peaceful towards humans. They can be cruel to other animals in the wild, but hey, that is the wild. I'd sincerely recommend you do some more research on Orca; I think you will be surprised by their peaceful nature.
The whole story is so incredible it's hard to believe. Your family stumbling into an evil life insurance plot, being the only survivor and getting protection from dolphins as you survive 4 days without food or water, I'd think you telling me the plot to a movie
I wonder how much he's bragging now with a gang of boyfriends""" to contend with HA... Poor girl she should have stayed firm. And I believe the dolphins kept the sharks at Bay. TY MrBallen
Funny how true it is though. I've always considered overlyliked people dangerous or prone to danger. We weirdoes, at least we don't hide much and people see our true selves.
When you find yourself facing a crisis with little hope in sight, draw upon the courage of young Terry Jo, who came through a terrifying ordeal with all odds against her.

I love that he actually finds the true stories behind these photos. I can't count how many times I have seen these photos on click bait vids claiming they have supernatural or ghost related stories behind them, when in reality there are legitimate horrific stories behind them.

Thanks so much!!
Agreed 👌
Well we would, he does his homework and researches very well, but these are already publicized stories some of them very famous stories.
Hot hot hot!!
Dolphins are truly amazing animals. They knew she needed help. Makes my heart smile.
Wonderful Native legend about dolphins >>> Hutash told the people to go across the rainbow bridge and to fill the whole world with people. So the Chumash people started to go across the bridge. Some of them got across safely, but some people made the mistake of looking down. It was a long way down to the water, and the fog was swirling around. They became so dizzy that some of them fell off the rainbow bridge, down through the fog, into the ocean. Hutash felt very badly about this because she told them to cross the bridge. She did not want them to drown. To save them, she turned them into dolphins. Now the Chumash call the dolphins their brothers and sisters.

Sometimes Dolphins are the complete opposite.

Girls, or guys, if you get out of a relationship with someone who is possessive or abusive, make sure you block them on all social media, all numbers, and if they start harassing you, change your number. Its hard, but your safety, your life, is precious Nd worth it. Break up with them in public and make sure all your friends and family know where you are and who you're with.
agree!! I have been in this situation having to go so far as my family even had to have protection detail as well for a few weeks. Crazy does not obey protection orders! I know a lot cannot afford this. Keep your phone with you, don’t go out alone.....My stalker/ex husband ended up in prison
Also, don't be afraid to talk to the police. They may not be able to do much, but sometimes they can do a lot.
@@chichi775 I'm glad you got out safely and that he ended up where he belonged. Its truly sad that even the people you love could be the ones that end your life. I'm glad I'm happily married because I would not be dating I'm to afraid of the kind if people I could end up with.
I agree. But if you don't block them never never never go with with them alone!
Always let people know their strange. She should have gone to the police and filed harrasment charges against him.
So, Brendon died of a broken elbow after walking just another 300ft on his own? It's great that she made it out alive, but wth happened to him?

Gonna guess he had a bad fall, got lost in the dark, laid down and never woke up.

Story #2 is truly terrifying.
I was in a very similar situation with my first boyfriend. I ended it with him and he just didn't want to accept it. I moved to a different town to go to college and he followed me and even moved into my same apartment complex. He started riding the same bus as me to and from campus and he found out which apartment I lived in. He would regularly come to my door, knocking like crazy, yelling that he was going to kill himself if I didn't take him back...etc.
I tried so many times to get him to leave me alone but it wasn't until I blocked him from everything and moved back in with my parents that he finally stopped. It's been 11 years since I broke up with him and even though I'm married and he knows this, he will still text me once every other year or so trying to "apologize" for how he acted.
My story could've ended up so much worse...
My sister went through something similar and moved back into my parents home for safety sake, they had a mother in law apartment and she moved there. At one point she let him in, and was begging her to take him back (they had a child). He actually went to my dad and asked him to convince her. My dad told him (the guy was saying he would kill himself if she didn't comply). that the only reason he hadn't supplied him with a gun to do was because he didn't want the mess in the house. My dad liters dragged him to his car and kicked him out.
@Mindy-lr4xh your dad is amazing! Lol You and your sister are so lucky to have him looking after you. Must help you feel really safe. I wish I had that kind of protective force when I needed it.

I love how the dolphins protected her.
Nature had a way of protecting the young and innocent at times.
Yet the Japanese kill thousands of dolphins annually kill the competition for food equals more food it’s ridiculously cruel and demands worldwide pressure to end it spread the word
Only cause sharks were around probably lol. Once I heard there were sharks around her I wasn't suprised dolphins were too
@@deedeemonroe1076 dolphins are natural deterrents for sharks. They were probably protecting her from sharks from what people on the ship said about that little girl surrounded by sharks. They most likely saved her life. It would have been easy for sharks to mistake her as a turtle sharks prey on with her legs dangling out like that.
Or she might have been hallucinating ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
What an AMAZING little girl. 80+ hours. Just wow. And yeah, the dolphin story she recalled is just phenomenal.
Terry Jo’s story was terrifying and incredible, the dolphins coming to her rescue was truly beautiful and it warms my heart to know she survived and had what I hope is a happy and fulfilling life 💖
Wonder where the dolphins went when the sharks showed cause they said she was surrounded when they found her. By sharks.
I think she merely THOUGHT the sharks were dolphins. They look very similar when you are that low on the water with waves distorting the view.
Oh man I would have paid to see a picture of Julian's face when they told him Terry Jo is alive isn't that great?

Gotta respect the boyfriend being absolutely willing to carry his injured girlfriend out of there. He ultimately made the wrong choice for his life but instead of waiting he made the call to go out on his feet trying. Who knows, if they both stayed the chance of them both dying was super high. At least he fought for them both. A good man.
The best thing they could have done in that situation is sit tight and wait for help to arrive. With how easily they got lost, even if he did somehow find help, he'd have no way of leading them back to Salor, so it'd be pointless. Even trying to carry her to keep going when they're already lost was a bad move. All that does is expend more energy, increases chances of further injury, and get more lost.
Good and stupid often go together. Sadly.
@@epicrandomperson5555 It's unfortunate that they made the wrong choices at almost every single turn. I guess the takeaway is to learn the basics of what to do when you get lost before going on a hike. It's because of their story that I now know that the best option in this sort of scenario is to try and stay put as best as possible.
Defo a selfless man. So tragic.
But wait a minute. He only made it like a 100 meters, then just died? Of what? She was found in like 24 hours- how was he already dead- he was the strong one. I wish Ballen would have told us what happened to him. Maybe he actually was worse injured in that second fall than he realized. Or maybe he totally realized it, and wanted to get away from her because he knew he wasn't getting out of there.
When a story starts with a young woman I always know what kind of end it's gonna have, especially if she's going off to college or has a boyfriend. But the story about Terry Jo, that's just amazing. What a bright, brave kid. Somebody was looking out for her.

Mr Ballen, my very good friend Matt was dating/in love with Jolee when this happened. Loren had found out they were dating and that text she sent was to Matt before she went on the hike. It’s crazy that I’m watching a MrBallen video on someone I know who was affected by this, but as always, you tell the victim’s stories with the most respect. We always want to assume that everyone has good intentions, give them the benefit of the doubt, and unfortunately, in this instance, it ended in Jolee’s untimely demise and ruined so many peoples lives. I hope Loren rots in prison.

What an amazing will to survive , dolphins have been known to protect humans from sharks. Still can’t believe that little girl survived.
Make sure you refuse to eat Tuna now, out of respect for dolphins worldwide.
All animals have been known to save humans in rare situations like that. Animals understand unconditional love better than humans
@@TiffanyStarr2141 No they don't, not at all. If they are saving people, it's a purely primal survival instinct situation to which they are attracted, but which they cannot understand. They might be driven to "save" someone, perhaps seeing them as a strange type of their own species, but they won't know why, other than self-preservation of their own kind. One thing is certain, it isn't love.
If they have any human-like emotion, they should let us all die, because humans are pretty bad news for animals. To attribute human emotion to animals is deluded.
If anything, when another animal prevents a predator from taking a human, they are being stupid, because it would be better for them to allow the kill to made and they themselves would be left alone instead of being predated. Successful life on Earth is down to avoiding being eaten, love, or indeed hate for other creatures, doesn't enter into it.
Of course, they are not stupid, we have just developed differently (I won't even say further, because we humans are pretty fucking stupid and mistaken in so many of our ways, to the detriment of our own species, and ultimately the rest in this world around us.)

On her instagram page she posted a meme suggessting she thought he was too good looking for her so she might've even thought that was the most she deserved/could get.

Your story telling is spot on, so clear, vivid and presentable, it pulls you into the story, not to mention topics that you pick, you really found your calling ! Mysterious and spooky is right my alley, i'm so happy i found your channel ! Listening to your stories before bed is a must, really great experience, sending regards to you and to all fans of this channel from Slovenia / Europe, cheers
Breaks my heart what that little girl went through. All these stories are so sad
The ordeal with Terry Jo is horrible obviously, but it makes my heart melt about the dolphins that protected her. Dolphins and Orcas are incredible friends to mankind. To think, that this monster nearly got away with a massacre had it not been for our friends in the ocean.
The rescuers said they were sharks. She THOUGHT they were dolphins.
Dolphins are friends.
Orca’s can and will eat you.
Orcas no! those are called killer whales and are vicious hunters. Dolphins can and have hurt (rape) people too, they're individuals like us. Plus they didn't save her...they eventually left bc later she was surrounded by sharks.
@@andikay71 Orca in the wild are peaceful towards humans, the only case of them hurting humans is from captive orca. But anyway, even native peoples have recognized Orca as protectors of mankind in various mythos. Perhaps that is because they are marine mammals and thus share quite a bit in common with humans, but that is my speculation. The point being: Orca are not whales, and despite the intimidating moniker of 'killer whale' they are actually incredibly peaceful towards humans. They can be cruel to other animals in the wild, but hey, that is the wild. I'd sincerely recommend you do some more research on Orca; I think you will be surprised by their peaceful nature.
The whole story is so incredible it's hard to believe. Your family stumbling into an evil life insurance plot, being the only survivor and getting protection from dolphins as you survive 4 days without food or water, I'd think you telling me the plot to a movie
Am binge watching all your photo ones Mr Ballen!!!! 🙂🙂🙂
I wonder how much he's bragging now with a gang of boyfriends""" to contend with HA... Poor girl she should have stayed firm. And I believe the dolphins kept the sharks at Bay. TY MrBallen
Most introduction of person in a scary story: *they were liked by everyone*
Me: Well, at least something this awful will never happen to me
Funny how true it is though.
I've always considered overlyliked people dangerous or prone to danger.
We weirdoes, at least we don't hide much and people see our true selves.
@@TotyoEnchev This may sound insensitive, but in my experience people's opinions of someone become a whole lot fonder after that person dies.
@@maxdoles5806 Oh, that's for sure. The irony... When you don't need it anymore suddenly everybody likes you :)

I'm glad to hear that Terry Joe went on to live a successful life...👍🏼💯✔
talk about being at the right place at the right time. it couldn’t of been more perfect.
“If he couldn’t have her nobody could” classic serial killer motto
Also very 14yo emo boy of him
And it's true now
I've recently found your channel and have been hooked since the first story I heard you tell. Thank You!
Terry Jo wrote a book telling her story: Alone - Orphan on the Ocean. Worth a read.
Awesome and you are also awesome brother!! Thanks for your service to our country and for the awesome videos!! Much love and respect ❤❤❤❤
I love the consistent uploads bro so underrated 💙
I LOVE THESE JUST KEEP POSTING THEM EVERYTHING YOU DO IS AWESOME
You remind me of a history teacher I had in college. Hands down the best teacher I have ever had. It was like story time every class.
you have the best stories!!! their so interesting and entertaining! I watch them when I'm bored and I'm always bored lol
I love how whenever he’s talking and actually means something he moves his arms out and down😂😂😂
😂
cant lie, I only watch Ballen's vids for the hand movements.
JXR yesssss
In my country we also use hand gestures a lot, so I feel right at home in this corner of RUclips
Are you Italian? 🤔 😁
For sure one of my new favorite channels on RUclips. This guy just doesn’t miss.
When you find yourself facing a crisis with little hope in sight, draw upon the courage of young Terry Jo, who came through a terrifying ordeal with all odds against her.
MrBallen has impacted my life. I can’t stop watching his videos at night and I’m over sleeping in the morning and being late to work. I got wrote up today for clocking in late 22 times. This channel is well done.
