I had to leave a comment. Im in recovery from drug addiction and this man got me through my detox. I swear he had something to do with getting me sober his videos got me through the anxiety and sickness. I will never miss a video thank you so much mrballen. For saving my life and your service.❤
All the best with your recovery. I know all to well myself how hard it is. Soo wishing you all the best with yours. 🫶🏼
Thank you so much. May god bless you and guide you ❤
You can do it! You are stronger than any poison.
Im smoking some weed while listening this 😂
Well done! Prayers for you and your continued recovery ❤
Regarding the second story:
Speaking from experience. If you ever find yourself in a situation where you’re choking and you have nobody to help you, stand up, wrap your arms around yourself and grab your back, then throw yourself backwards onto the floor/ground.
I had an experience where I choked in public and was fortunately saved by a police officer. I used that opportunity to learn what to do in case it ever happened again.
A few years later, I was eating and a piece of steak get stuck in my throat. I threw myself down on my back and it came right out.
Choking is extremely scary and maybe this can help somebody if they ever find themselves in the same situation.
I've literally had to reach into my throat a pull a piece of steak out of it.
I once choked on a fishbone stuck in my throat. My father stuck his finger down my throat & dislodged it. Not many people know that the Heimlich maneuver was named for Dr Heimlich who is the uncle of Anson Williams who played Potsie on Happy Days.
Chew better
Not figuratively ?
you can also throw your mid section into the back/top of a chair similar to someone doin the Heimlich maneuver to you.
The story of Lucien and Olivier just breaks my heart. Two guys found each other, enjoy each other's company, have good times together, and then... :(
at least they were together and its not a joke. i do mean that. atleast the last person in there final moments was each other. traumatic or not tis what id want if my death was gonna be traumatic like that.
@@tezneckaaldunous9795honestly, that was my takeaway too. it’s an absolutely tragic circumstance for those left behind, but thank god neither of them had to carry the trauma of survivors guilt and watching your best friend die
Same I almost cried honestly 😢❤
I doubt you will read this Mr. Ballen, but your fan base is one of the nicest groups. They are supportive of fellow fans and as a fellow vet it warms my heart to see the work you are still doing
sh&t 4p and have a merry Christmas and a happy new year. that's an order. 😂
I agree, the community of followers on this channel seems great. Other mystery/tragic accident channels have comments filled with considerably more negativity, whereas here there's almost always a good baseline of respect for the tragedy of a situation and those involved, however it may have unfolded.
I've been hooked on these types of videos lately, and the respectful delivery as well as the nice community has been making my fall into the rabbit hole less stressful than it usually is when I find myself in this type of video spiral
I agree… except for how the fan base treats the like button! 😂😂😂 A basket of deplorable likeaphobes!

Marie honestly sounds like a wonderful neighbor. Minds her business, but also has enough compassion to show concern for a couple drunks when things seem off.
she should have had concern when she saw them in the exact same spot three hours later instead of waiting six. Would still have been too late but that is way too much of a lack of concern. It would be one thing if they had moved a bit.
@@Necrowolf81Nitpickers nitpicking at everything as if they're always right🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
@@Necrowolf81 i felt the same but at least someone noticed instead of their bodies just rotting there
@@Necrowolf81 this donkey's never gone on a proper bender. 3 hours blacked out in the yard is child's play to a true and proper drunkard.
@@angrygopnik2317I mean is he wrong?
The deaths of Olivier and Lucien is so painfully poetic and sad. Two best lads going out together, doing what they enjoyed most-but dying trying to save each other. Just heartbreaking. And yes, I understand one was trying to save the other, but I refuse to believe they weren’t trying to work together somehow in their last moments.
I know, it's terrible isn't it can you imagine what was going through his mind. One second looking at his buddy thinking he's going to do the heimlich manouver then seeing him collapse in front of you whilst you're slowly suffocating. Nightmare. Poor lads!
I was reading about a young lad of about 12 whose mother went to bed early and let him stay up to watch a tv show and when she came down in the morning he was dead on the floor, the poor lad had choked on a boiled sweet. I can only imagine what his mother went through having kids of my own.
Fate is a cruel mistress indeed...
How the fuck is a death poetic?
@@dewaldsteyn1306 It’s a very old term. Have you not heard of it? Or maybe you’re being rhetorical bc you don’t like it, in which case I’ll explain that just because a death is described as poetic doesn’t mean the tragedy of it is ignored. It’s like describing a death as brave if they were trying to help another person in the face of danger, or calling a death ironic if the circumstances fit the term. Stop trying to be so easily offended.
lol heartbreaking
I've been a fan from the very start. I have stage 4 cancer and spend long stretches in hospital. I honestly don't know what I would do without MrBallen podcast and you tube videos. He makes the time in hospital bearable, makes me feel calm, and his stories are so freaggin good.
I hope you recover soon! Im sure you've had a rough journey, sending my love and prayers
Big hugs. Speedy recovery. The Big C can be scary but medical science has thankfully improved since Chris had cancer in the early 2000's. Stay positive and if MrBallen gets you through treatment and bad days then watch.
MrBallen is great. Another one is True Crime Recaps however they don't do the spooky, cooky and bleeding What the .. cases like Mr Ballen
God's speed on recovery. Stay positive 😊
Look to Jesus, He is our only hope
🙏🙏💪🤍🤍🤍🤍🙏
I love you stranger. Stay positive and keep God close. You are a warrior.
It's really nice to see a larger creator have merch that's actually fairly priced. It's not cheap, but it's not unreasonable either. $25 for a t-shirt, $55 for a sweater. A lot of creators are kinda crazy with their pricing I find so this is nice to see.
For us Dutchies this is even considered cheap. Usually merch clothing is between 35 and 80 euros🫣
Imagine being on the brink of choking to death but knowing you have a friend there to help you, then seeing them dying in front of you. I can't even imagine...
"him".
@@Dharzjinion here we are imagining begin in the scenario, not the actual event so the gender of the mentioned friend changes depending on who you picture begin the friend in the scenario

I love how unhinged the ad breaks are when he’s so serious and straightforward with the stories
Me too! Like how can this man be so unserious at the snap of a finger 😂
@@JB-bm1toshit pay me a million a month I’ll do whatever you want 😂
His ads are the main reason I watch. lol
He tends to waffle so much I feel like I have schizophrenia, I feel relieved when the ads happen.
@@bashkillszombies Liar 😂
I used to watch this all the time, and when he said “and we up upload once a week” my heart dropped, I remember when it was 4-5 times a week
So do I. I went thru it and had a hard time when he dropped down to just one show. I swear, I went thru some serious MrBallen Withdrawals. They were borderline vicious. It tops my list of bad shit I've endured in this lifetime. Not sure if anything will ever beat what I went through when that happened. They went on for months. I don't want to ever live through anything like that again. I'm not sure I would survive it a second time around! It was seriously that bad!!! Lol!!!
@@SuckingUpMyLifeForceEnergyhe's rich now. He doesn't need to upload alot anymore. It wasn't about making content for fans it was about making money...
@@wakenow1I think when the channel first started there was just a huge pool of stories to pull from which has diminished as time has gone on. He has also diversified his channels and has a weekly upload for 3-4 channels & podcasts he manages now.
Edit: This channel, MrBallen Medical Mysteries, MrBallen Bedtime Stories & Run, Fool!
@@wakenow1 That s exactly how I felt about it when he made the change. It was like, what about all the RUclips fans that stuck by you and helped you grow your channel into what it is today? Without all of us, he wouldn't have had the choice to leave us high and dry like he did. I am serious... I was upset over the change for months. Many many months. All his stories every week were part of the staple of RUclips for me and alot of my friends. They would come over just to sit around and watch MrBallen. Pardon my language but at my house, we had serious cases of Blue Ballens from the now lack of satisfaction there is on his channel. It was a real bad case for me. And I'm a woman. Can you just imagine what I went thru? LOL!!!
@@zachwithnok There is an endless stories on the internet. I dont thats the case here. Maybe quality over quantity?
My wife and i have been watching mr ballen since he first started. Its been a staple with us for the past 4 years and no matter how hard we struggled, mr ballen was there to help calm us down or make the day easier. We remember when he had just a couple thousand followers and it is so cool for the both of us to have seen him come from just a small channel of someone doing what they enjoy and turn into this entire organization and not for profit. We have absolutely loved never missing a video and have so much respect for the person john became.
Salute
who paid you to write the comment?

He's actually related to me!
There's something very eerie about people going missing never to be found and never knowing the full cause of their disappearance.
Yeah, it’s odd how the sails were tattered if there was no storm or anything. The only thing that comes to my mind personally is being attacked
The Kraken got them
@@ErikHansen911😂
The strange, dark and mysterious delivered in story format happened to them. 👀
Once at an ancient French church I witnessed a black cat meowing and falling from a wall stories above a field I was in. When I went to check on it, I found it, but it has been there, decomposing for a while. It still doesn’t make sense to me. This story reminded me of that!
Very strange! I wonder if like the story it was a coincidence or if it was something supernatural?
Oooo, wow yeah, that's erie.
The cat probably just transformed himself so you would think he had died months ago. When in reality, he was still alive. Cats can do that
@@self-righteousideologue9398 can they make gold eggs too?
Was not a cat
That second story is tragically beautiful. To both have completely random accidental/natural deaths simultaneously has got to be some of the craziest odds ever. It’s kinda beautiful though that neither of them had to live without and grieve each other. 🥺💔
I was thinking the same thing. Like it was sad but somehow sweet that neither of them had to mourn the other
Their friendship is so sweet 😢
Idk if id call choking to death on beef rib a completely natural death though lol. It is sad but i can imagine it would be a horrible choking to death
Lol
You're crazy if you thought there was any beauty there. It's not like they were the same age. That one guy had waaaaay more life to live. 🙄
I seriously love this guy's story telling, he must spend so much time looking up cases and details of these stories
He's part of a RUclips network. He just reads the script, there's an editor, and story crew. They make over a million dollars a month and it doesn't just go to one person. There is a production team.
@@wakenow1its not just the script. The body language is a factor as well
This was an exceptionally good episode. The Ghost Driver was really absorbing.. I guess he was tired of waiting for someone to come find him, so he decided to shake things up.
for some reason, i imagine a him actually dying in the car then the body just somehow keeps the car running for months 😅
@@Lawbringer. Holy shit this is exactly the idea I had in my head right after John described the guy's body being a skeleton and before revealing the authorities' conclusion.
He had to keep looping until he was found
This kind of encounter is common in my country
FYI - The Coroner investigating the Kaz II incident officially determined that one of the Tunstead brothers (neither of whom were strong swimmers) had his fishing line tangled in the propeller.
He attempted to untangle the line, but struggled in the water... his brother then dove in to assist... but also struggled.
Des attempted to bring the boat back to assist his friends but was hit by the boom when adjusting the mainsail and also fell into the water.
Unable to get back on the boat, all 3 drowned... or were possibly eaten by sharks.
The Coroner's findings appear to be based on scant evidence.
Rescue Officer Corrie Benson stated that there were multiple knives scattered around the boat, but no blood.
The whole situation was definitely strange, dark, and mysterious.
Thinking the knives brought out might have been to try and cut a line.
Yea I just read about that, very sad and tragic accident
I was wondering if they went swimming and were eaten by sharks because they didn't find bodies.
I was going to say, I'm pretty sure they weren't experienced boaters either
@Bat I looked this info up before I read your comment. I wish Mr Ballen included this info in the story. Maybe he didn't know?
Imagine having a friend you love so much that seeing them in danger literally gives you a heart attack...
I don't have any friends like that but my brothers or even worse my nephew would kill me on the spot if there was nothing I could do.
Thank you for the first story. I live in Surrey, England and have been up and down the A3 thousands of times in my life. It’s weird to hear about it from an American on the internet! 😂 That story is notorious and weird. The police must have at least sent a chopper up to search surrounding areas in case there was another car crash but I’ve never heard anything else about it. Great narrating as usual. 😊
Same here! I would have been 14 at the time and had never heard of this. Its surreal hearing it from an American on RUclips 😆
To me, it sounds like somebody was driving around with that dude decomposing in the car. They survived the crash and escaped before the police got there.
@@robertchasteen9909Damn! That’s a good one!
@@robertchasteen9909he died in a time loop
@robertchasteen9909 A good theory, but he would have to have no sense of smell. You can not believe how bad a decomposing human body perfumes the area it is in. And that driver could not go in anywhere because he would carry its aroma. Unless he mummified the body first. That might keep the smell down enough...maybe.
the thing i love the most about this channel is how serious he is with the storytelling and then during the ads it's just batshit insanity...and then right back into seriousness when the storytelling starts back up.
That’s why i can’t get in to it. I sub and like him though because he’s a vet…
Wouldn't it be nice if we could comment on the advertisements like we do on the videos. What do people say when they find out that they can get free gold bars and stacks of silver coins. Did you know that you can sign up to receive $3,278.59 every month... but you need to act now before the government program expires!
@@alexmartin3143 you can skip his crazy ad sections.
@jess-lynne Same, it’s one of my favorite parts of the videos
@@alexmartin3143you can just fast Forward through them, that's what I do and it doesn't take you out of the story at all.
Sadly in the UK we just had 4 teenage boys 18yrolds that went camping for a weekend to Wales and when their families realised they couldn't contact them plus they hadn't returned home they got the police to try and locate them. They launched a huge search because Wales is thick forests and narrow roads that were thick fog after a a day or two they were located last week in an upside down car submerged half in water and sadly all the boy's never survived. Four families just before Christmas are now going through unimaginable hurt and I'm heartbroken for them as my son and friends are a year older it worries me with new young drivers when they're driving about at night especially.
Speed is my concern, we all have been there in youth, to fast, unknown road, slick pavement....at least they were together in the end....Cheers!
It’s been all over the news in the United States… Such a sad tragedy. My condolences to the family, friends, loved ones and the community. Much love and light.
Drunk also
@@Sncedayoneand where did you see that
what is even more bizarre is that youngsters die everyday in car crashes, even go missing but this story made headline news and was also mentioned in parliament !! what made this stand out above all others? again many car crashes every year involving a car of youngsters but they never get a mention.
Thats smart making them drill before going out because an emergency concerning a stranger is completely different when that same emergency concerns a loved one.
I just found you on RUclips last night and I have been binging! The second one I was I noticed the first comment was a very friendly listener warning not to read the comments before watching due to spoilers. I had read the comments of the first story and did read a few spoilers. So, tempting as it is I don’t read the comments now until after listening to the story.
Throughout the comments, it is amazing how many people credit listening to you while attempting to get off drugs. So many are successful because your stories help get them through withdrawal and maintaining their sobriety and there are also the same type of stories from sick and even dying people. This has to make you feel so wonderful to know that you are much more than an entertainer but a great help to so many people!
In fact, I am going to use listening to them in hopes that they will help with my PTSD and anxiety from a long battle with chronic pain. I’ll update about that.
I’ve now listened to enough to know about your foundation to help victims and their families. I feel like I’ve found not only a fabulous place to listen to interesting stories but also a ministry as well. You just never know how God may use you!! I’m really fascinated!
I do have to say that you are a born storyteller but I also really enjoy all the creative, cruel and humorous things that you come up with to do to the like button! 😂😂😂
I’m so glad I ran across your channel and wish you amazing continued success! ❤️
Welcome to the world of bingeing MrBallen stories. It happens to all that have the good fortune of running across their first story by him. After hearing that first one, there is absolutely nothing else you can do but take up listening to every single story he has ever told. Anyone who doesn't have that urge must be an alien to the Human Race. Bingeing MrBallen seems to be a natural instinct for most of us. Can't understand the mind of anyone who doesn't binge. It's completely unnatural! Lol!!!
Who knew John wore shorts with his flannel? I didn't! 🤷♀️
Story telling genius and apparently a fashion icon.
😂😅😂
😂
Hey those flannels can get pretty hot 😂
I thought he had boxers or pj's pants on. At least, that's what I would do. Lol
Anyone who’s never seen him stand up but he usually does.
There was a murder case from 2004 where a couple were attacked with an axe by their son. The husband suffered devastating head injuries yet the next morning he got up and went through his normal morning routine, making a packed lunch and even loading the dishwasher before he collapsed and died. Basically, what was left of his brain was running on autopilot, going through the familiar routines with no higher thought processes happening.
I think something similar happened onboard the Kaz II, whether due to an attack or some kind of medical incident, the person at the helm of the boat was going through a series of familiar tasks based on all his previous sailing experience which is why it appeared as though the boat was under full control but the actions the boat was taking made no sense. I think the three men aboard Kaz II were likely attacked and one of them survived long enough to pilot the boat in this strange, nonsensical fashion before falling overboard due to injury.
Mr ballen actually had cover that story you talked about btw
@MrBallen did a video about the first man you described. Isn't it crazy how things like that can happen? It honestly scares the hell out of me sometimes when I think about certain aspects of things like that.. It's just mind boggling.
@@OrbitalOrbs can you give me the title? Thanks!
@@astrawberrycookie I forgot what it call since it I watched it 2 years ago, maybe try searching through the 3 strange stroies
But then you would expect to see signs of a struggle on-board. That's the problem with any theory involving an attack or on board injury. The only possibility is all 3 went over board since nothing on board is disturbed
Shout out to those officers for getting out to walk along the highway. You hear way too often about people who bleed/starve/freeze to death because their car went too far down a hill and authorities “searching” for them just drove past because they couldn’t immediately see it from the road.
I like how in each video he has a funny way of telling you how to like his videos 🤣
Does anybody know why he terrorizes the like and follow buttons lol
As a former liveaboard sailor, I've heard these types of stories. We all have. The only thing I can say is that the sea is a mysterious place.
Probably...1 fell off and they had to rescue..but they were old so had barely stamina and the other driving was old and cant see far...so he kept drving far away and maybe also fell overboard
I think it's pretty clear it was pirates
Even though this case has "pirates" written all over it, I agree with you that the sea is a mysterious place. That's why sailors don't pray on God on Jesus there. It's like they have no power over the sea.
@@valentinkambushev4968If pirates killed them, is there a reason they wouldn't also take the ship? I'd assume they would to sell it or at least take parts but don't know anything about pirates.
It was aliens
There is no better way to spend a gloomy Sunday than with a new episode of MrBallen. Life is good.
Oof gloomy here too! Just started hailing. Perfect timing indeed.
Exactlyyy
Listening to MrBallen while folding laundry is the only way I get through putting laundry away. Also a gloomy Sunday here.
Mbn I’m over here listening while working at Amazon 😂
@@JesusGonzalez-bi4rfdammm I could never work on a Sunday lol
"The ol Seegal lung!" How you're able to not crack up. Towards the end of the little ad there was a tiny break but mostly solid. I can't keep a straight face screaming See Gall Luuung!!
The A3 is definitely residual haunting. His soul wanted someone to notice his abandoned body and probably, inform his family members. There's a similar case featured in one of the episodes of the Unsolved Mystery series about a deceased mom and her baby.
I've heard that story a couple times. It is astounding.
The Captain's log, be it pen and paper or digital, is very important. Every boating trip, unless a day trip, needs to be recorded. Even if it's uneventful, leave a record. Or, like these guys, you leave a mystery.
About the A3 Ghost crash, It makes one wonder if police overlooked the actual crash people reported and another car and person may still be decomposing in the same forrested area.
Yes, it will create another story like this .. creating a ghost background.
Atleast why dont they contact those people and try to get the actual place.
That's the first thing I thought of as well.
I think it was some people with a guilty conscience possibly some friend or family member. If not that maybe a coverup by police after things went south trying to get the guy.
“It’s not even funny” But it is! Love it when you let loose and get giggly 😊
Will you be my gf 🥺
It's amazing how excited all these men are in these stories.
I've heard about the Kaz II story about a dozen times before this video but somehow Mr. Ballen makes me feel like this is the first time hearing it. Dude has a legit gift.
I think it's because he's telling it more like he's telling us personally, as though he's right in front of us, rather than just narrating off a script like many others narrate
I love how the way he says seagull lung keeps getting progressively more demented 😂😂
It’s fantastic lmao
It's so cringe but I can deal with it cuz Mr ballen is cool. He's like that goofy cringey dad type of character
The second story breaks my heart cause i have a partner that i do everything with and thinking about seeing her die while i choke to death, that is a horrible thought. I hope olivier and lucien are together on the other side resting in peace.
The only channel that I’ve listened and watched every episode of. On RUclips and every other platform Mr. Ballen has. My family loves your stories. Thank you!
You just killed me with the last one. Not that I wanted them to be dead, but I get such anxiety when people have no idea what happened to their loved one, where they are and whether they’re alive or not. The not knowing stresses me big time. I pray their families find peace and find them one day, even though it’s unlikely! 😢😢😢
Seriously, I feel like I'd be plagued non stop wondering if they're suffering or not.
Both my parents died during the pandemic and whenever I start to feel sorry for myself, I remember to be grateful that they weren't violently ripped from this world!
I get anxiety too but for other reasons like how can 3 people be on a boat and then not on a boat and nobody have seen them and still don’t know what happened or where they are that’s some scary stuff. Like one question is were they taken bc the sail was tattered so something happened im sure it wasn’t tattered when they bought it. Idk that last one was crazy
Even without the added information, just looking at them, I can't help but think that their trip was for other purposes and that their actual itinerary had to be registered somewhere in order to avoid official inquiries. I also speculate that their true intentions were probably responsible for the demise of all three...
@@avamasquerade can you elaborate? I'm curious!
@@avamasquerade What kind of theory do you propose?
I was thinking this was something more along the lines of a boat armed robbery or hijacking, at more or less around the beginning of their trip, potentially right after shooting those videos. And then after everything that occured had occur, they guessed officials would be looking for them and found a way to abandon the boat before they did. Probably a stupid theory but I can't think of any other reason for people to have very recently been active on that boat and then suddenly not being there.
Maybe the criminals had come prepared to scuba-dive off? Idk lol
I shed a tear for Lucien and Olivier and their priceless friendship. Their remarkable and sad story reminds me of a few verses in the Bible, “There is a friend who sticks closer than a brother;” and “Love is stronger than death.”
If you liked that story you should watch The Banshees of Inisherin. Great movie which has a lot of similarities to the second story.
This time Death was stronger lol
@@GlotttisI don’t think so, other than the two main characters going to the only pub. The Older of the two wanted nothing to do with the younger and even cut off his own fingers and threw them at the younger ones house. That’s just the start of it.
@@jamesbradford6316I agree, there aren’t really very many similarities other than it being about an older man and younger man. They don’t have any of the health issues and there isn’t a mutual love for each other (especially since the older one cut his fingers off after threatening to do so if the younger spoke to him again). It is, however, a great movie
Amen 🙏
Seen this in my recommended a few times the past few months, now a super slow rainy Sunday night at work I’m hiding away in my car listening to the rain splash and crash against the tarp over my broken sunroof its finally the perfect time to start listening.
the second story made me really sad and touched me deeply. So close was their bond that they left this world together. Really touching story
Thank god. I’ve been desperately awaiting my next dose of the strange, dark, and mysterious 🙏🏻
Sameeee I clicked as soon as I got the notification
ppl must be hovering on ballen 1 minute and there is altready 40 comments!
In story format?
Yayyyy... God bless yall from Corpus Chrisit Texas ❤️ ✌️
Me toooo!,
Choking to death has to be one of the worst ways to go. One of my former co-workers sold one of his customers a bag of chicken wings which she ultimately choked to death on. He didn't learn about it until after a couple of weeks afterwards and always felt like he was partially responsible because he was the one to talk her into the purchase.
That's so sad. He needs to realize life can be very strange and we have no control over things like that. Tell him that he had no responsibility over what happened and we have enough stress and worry without blaming ourselves when something like that happens. Good luck to you both. 🎉❤
It wasn't his fault 💔
No fault for him selling the chicken wings....I hope he can overcome his guilt...
sorry but its just dumb to feel like he's at fault. He didn't shove em down her throat. That would be like a car dealer feeling at fault for someone having an accident. Ridiculous
@@Necrowolf81 it's almost as if emotions are sometimes irrational, Necrowolf. I'm sure he can feel guilt yet also know that he actually didn't kill her;two things can be true at the same time.
The Lucien & Olivier story is so bizarrely sad.
The Kaz II story is really sad as well as these men were just getting ready to start the next chapter of their lives, a.k.a. their golden years but never got to.
Mr B where the hell do you find all these amazing stories. You're fantastic. Every time I'm stressed ill click on one of you're uploads to take my mind off things for a bit as constantly in pain and I'm suffering from anorexia so your vids really help to take my mind off. Thank you
I was reading through the comment section as per usual, but something caught my attention this time. I realized the comments had stopped being about the video and was becoming more about yourself Mr. B. With most all the people thanking you, and in way themselves for being here. And for helping them through rough spots and giving some light at a particularly dark time in there lives. Man that's hero material in any uniform you wear.
You the man Mr. Ballen.
Yo that's real now ! Point blank period!
_Their*_ lives…
@@MDSF9090Your only moment to shine is to correct people online. Congrats! You'll go as far as that in life.
@@beekasha you’re God damn right! Thank you!!
@@MDSF9090 I just seen that, thanks. I let stuff slip out a little more now. I'm just waiting till the day I don't make it back in. I have no Idea where I'm gonna stay. Any ideas.
If you're curious as to what a death loop is (like I was), it's a situation where someone dies but is essentially "re spawned" back into the same situation and dies again, over and over.
Thank you!
Yeah. It's a residual occurrence. Non intelligent. In other words, you can't usually interact with it or it with you but can bleed through to our plane if energies sync just right.
Thank you, never heard of it before
the movie Resolution is a great example- and a trippy movie.
Resolution huh? Always like a good trippy movie. Gonna check it out, thanks! @@PamelaLaForest
Your videos have also helped with my recovery and through some truly dark times in… also crazy as it sounds your videos help with my insomnia.
Wow. Another wild awesome story Mr.Ballen righteous! Thanks for your stories and your service! Namaste!!
The fact that I'm alive during the same point in time as Mrballen is a ✨️ blessing ✨️
❤❤❤❤
whats that even mean wtf many ppl are alive the same time as greats in history idealizing someone who can do mire than tell a story would be a start
The story of the two Frenchmen, while tragic, is also kinda beautiful. Just a couple of blokes who bonded together and died doing what they loved; hanging out in their backyard eating food and drinking wine.
If you liked that story you should watch The Banshees of Inisherin. Great movie which has a lot of similarities to the second story.
bbbrt bbrraaappp
@@Glotttis sorry to say but I actually hated that movie. It was pretty much the exact opposite of the Frenchmen’s story.
The story of the Kaz II is so mysterious and fascinating!
There was a time, all my MrBallen videos were watched and I was waiting for new content. Welcome back, I've got a lot of catching up to do.
When I was a child, a bunch of us went swimming at a lake off a boat ramp. We were of the age to see who could dive the deepest, so we would take turns diving down at the end of the ramp. We were puzzled that we felt a smooth surface with our feet to push back off of to resurface. We got out for a break, and found chrome trim pieces on the beach, picked them up and put them in the trash can nearby. As we were leaving, some teenagers pulled up and we told them about the smooth surface and showed them the trim. About an hour later we went down to the ramp with adults, the teens had found a truck at the end of the ramp and it was being pulled out of the water. Saw bags of corn in the bed of the truck. Turned out that a hunter had a heart attack the last autumn and drove off the ramp. His skeleton was found in the cab where we had been landing with our bare feet on the roof.
Life is the weirdest 😳
Lol creepy! But also awesome
Omg😮
That was so hard to read, the sentence structure was all over the place...
@@loganbrooks7800awww bless you. Did you struggle a little?
@@Jessepigman69😂 I had no problem reading it myself… 😊 I think some people just like to complain… 😩
Chris needed his body to be found, so he was able to re-create the night of his accident, and Someone made sure that a lot of people would see it happen this time.
corpses can't recreate anything.
unless this was a great hoax.
Always a pleasure Mr. B!
Keep on rockin' dude!
Great job, you must spend so much time looking up cases and details of these stories
I have driven past where the car had crashed many times, as I lived nearby in Farnham, it was very unnerving and thought it was an urban legend, it was only recently I found out it was a true story. Poor lad, but bless him I hope he is at peace now.
Thank you so much Mr Ballen for your strange, dark and mysterious stories.. gratitude from the Uk 🇬🇧
Wow 😳
Same here. We used to live in Guildford and drove past this bit of the A3 regularly. Always thought of him when we drove past. Thank goodness those people reported what they saw to the police.
Similar story in Malaysia back in the 80s, its a Volkswagon on a certain curved road, when you see this car do not follow behind it with your car, because it always drive off the curve and crash straight down a cliff
"poor lad" he was a criminal on the run from the police. Seems more like his life style caught up with him.
@@MrYotosun A robber doesn't deserve death no matter what they stole UNLESS they stole something that resulted in people dying. Don't be so cynical my dude.
MAAAAAAAAN WHAT A BUMMER about Lucien and Olivier… Poor guys were just trying to enjoy a good meal and they both bit the dust simultaneously..
The last story about the 3 guys on the boating expedition that disappeared is extremely spooky.
Great stories. Thank you.
The Kaz II boat story has all the hallmarks of faking their own deaths so that their wives can collect a lucrative insurance policy, then distribute the money to them in another country. Another ship probably picked them up. I would love to know whether the occupants all had life insurance policies in their names and when each policy was opened.
My thoughts exactly!!!
I thought something like this. Or maybe they just had enough of their wifes, families and weren't ready to pay for them if they divorced.
That was my first thought as well...faking their deaths that is for whatever reason I do not know but sounds plausible.
I was thinking something simpler. They were robbed on their boat. The robbers may have at some point sailed out deeper to kill and dump the men, planning to steal the boat itself. They stayed on the boat for a while (hence people spotting it moving around in the same area and hence the signs of recent inhabitation on the boat), but when they saw police approaching, they fled (on a small motorised dinghy or on who knows what, whatever they used to approach the boat in the first place).
The Kaz story was a complete waste of time. After all the suspense, it went nowhere.
Your bloopers, silly bits and your infectious giggle are always my favourite parts!
I concur ‼️❤
Right?! My son just turned 33 but he has the same giggle and instantly he's my baby boy!
I'm not afraid of many things but choking while alone is a HUGE fear of mine. I do know things to do when you are alone to save yourself but its still a HUGE fear of mine. Drowning scares me as well, I think the thought of suffocating in some way is what terrifies me. I don't do Alien's either. Lol.❤😂
I mean, if he’s cut it into much smaller pieces he’d still be alive. But common sense isn’t common. Also, Texas beef ribs are so tender it melts in your mouth.
Just went over to Audible and followed you and downloaded all of the medical mystery podcasts. Thank you.
Cried at story number two. The best friends. Their souls chose to meet at the ending of their lives for a brief period of joy before they both crossed over. It's like it was meant to be❤😭😭😭
I want to dedicate Mr. Ballens channel to my sweet, amazing, loving Daddy, who passed away unexpectedly on 11/28/23. He was the best Dad to my 3 brothers and I, best husband of 55 years to our Mom, and phenomenal Grandpa to his 4 grandsons. We used to talk about the episodes. I'm gonna miss him so much. I love you Daddy!! 😢😢
Blessings to your daddy from England 🇬🇧 xx
you cant dedicate someone else's channel lol like wtf maybe dedicate his car
Thanks Mr.B thanks for the video!! ❤ from Massachusetts!!

...... shit, you got enough here to make your own channel. Do that.
Also there's nothing mysterious about the blue people; they habitually ingest colloidal silver. It causes your skin to smurf out when the concentration gets high enough. It's called argyria, and it's well understood.
The first story is a great example of a residual haunting. When disturbing and horrible things happen, ones that conjured energy from the fatality, the energy itself may never leave this earth and it replays the same incident over and over. The person passes on, but the energy from the fatality they experienced on earth doesn’t sometimes which is why we’ve heard of these occurring.
The two best friend story absolutely wrecked me. That’s so terribly fucked up 😭
You always make me LOL😆 at the office when you say "Seagull Lung". I love to listen to the stories while I work.
Having worked in EMS in the UK for over 40 years, the public would be surprised how many people go missing like this. On the 19/11/2023 a group of four 16-17 year olds were on a camping trip to North Wales during a storm. It was a Sunday morning and they just vanished. Fortunately their bodies were discovered the following Tuesday. The car was upside in a river, they had all drowned.
Yeah the weather is a serious factor for travel. So many people have died this way. Some in the mountains, the desert, snowstorms, etc. Nature controls US, not the other way around. People forget its power
Yeah it's no joke, plenty of times I've driven in North Wales as a teen with my mates. I can remember the worst time when I had a car full of people and luggage in a storm. The motorway was bendy and at a high incline and I was just about going 40 with my foot fully down, the rain was so intense I literally couldn't see out of windscreen with full wipers on. Terrifying experience, absolutely powerless in that moment.
If those teens had followed the Third Commandment and gone to church on Sunday morning instead of going camping, they would be alive right now.
@@lilyw.719Gurl shut up
@@TMeyer-ge5pjRight! It’s important to respect Mother Nature
I love how John smirks when saying, “So, if you’re a fan of the strange, dark, and mysterious delivered in story format” ❤
He always smiles at that part, like he can’t help himself. Love it.
I like how much comedic disrespect he ladles onto the Like Button. Because fuck that Like Button. It knows what it did.

The Seagull Lung always gets me hahaha
Mr. Ballen i love your stories!! I can watch you for hours! your kids must have the ultimate storytime!!
Watching this again after quite some time… you had me 😂 with the intro!
I’ve grew up in England and heard the first story over 10 years ago, never in so much detail though! Thank you John! You are the best
I worked in a hospital, often in the ER, while putting myself through college. Over the 4 years, a few paramedics and ambulance drivers have shared about being called to accident scenes, and it ends up that the actual wreck was long ago. These were men of science who didn't easily give in to ghost stories, so for them to describe their experiences in such detail -- yeah, I think that some ghost "stories" are real.
Please explain in more detail! I’m curious.
Ghost balls
@@StonedSammieSueghost balls? Lol wth
That's wild. Remember them and feel like sharing? 😅
I humbly request a lovely summary of these 'experiences'
Hi Mr Ballen, I love your videos. Your videos help my social anxiety. When im in large party groups, I sometimes need some peaceful time but don’t wanna seem rude so I put in my headphones and listen to a video or two then im ready to engage a bit more! Thank you for your service😁
Love this man storytelling. He always leave the juicy part at last, very interesting❤
Just got home from snuggle time with Tiny Toots (our first grandson...probably the only one but I'm SO thankful) and in the door to my dogs, a cup of coffee and Mr. Ballen's newest upload....an EXCELLENT way to end a weekend. Thank you Mr. B.. .we love and appreciate everything you do! 😉♥️
We need to proclaim this routine the Ballen Evening Repose. So many of us Ballies are doing this very thing after a long day.
Oh my gosh the A3 ghost car! I have been driving that stretch of road on my daily commute for years and I remember reading about this whole thing in the local news and being very, very creeped out. I still get a bit nervous when I am on that stretch of road on my own in the dark if I have to work late. Thanks for including one of our local legends on your video!
I have to say, I’ve been dealing with insomnia for the past couple of days and your content is fantastic! When I wake up at midnight or so, you’re my go to for late night/early morning content. Seriously, you’re content and delivery are fantastic! My only niggle is that when watching a video in the wee hours of the morning, the sound effects that you use freak me out! I hear “something” at my door or at my window, but when I pause the video, complete silence. Just this brilliant channel.
Thank you for your dedication to your craft! You have no equal!
Cheers!🍻
Comment on the first story: I have not looked up the case myself but I suspect there were indeed 2 crashes. One was that first one that was found, the second was the one that was reported. It is pretty easy to miss even recent crashes in the woods with embankments. Sadly I passed right by a very recent crash a number of years ago and somehow my coworkers behind me had seen it and were able to attempt to render aid and call for help. In my case it is possible that the crash happened after I had passed through but the timing from what my coworkers say was that I had passed it.
This said, some stretches of roads are more prone to accidents, either from fatigue, highway hypnosis, distractions, turns, or other factors. I've come across a number of old unrecovered cars in areas and sometimes there are multiple in the same area.
Thus my experience tells me that the other car that was reported was not found that day, which may have been due to the excitement of finding the other.
Listening to these stories is my new dopamine. There’s just no other storytelling like Mr. Ballen’s.
The fact that this video was uploaded only 2 hours ago, yet already has 25k+ likes, and 1.6k+ comments is so crazy to me. The rate at which this channel has grown is otherworldly! Well done, Mr. Ballen. Well done. 😌👏
Yeah & that the Lungs pins are already sold out. Bummer! I really wanted one
@@MK-285 same!! Omg, I paused the video and hopped right on to the merch site as soon as he mentioned the pins... Gone lol. Took less than 2 hrs. Really hoping he drops some more! I need a Lungy pin in the worst way 😂
I have followed your videos since you started making them. I absolutely love how you bring the stories to life! You're definitely called to do this. And the fact that all your stories as known are real and not bulk crap. We Love you and thank you for providing families with great story telling. Def entertainment for all. ❤
There definitely are a lot of fake stories taken directly from reddit with 0 source on his channel
7:42 that's spooky. this is one of those stories that, even tho i'm not exactly a believer of ghosts, would have me really scratching my head and considering it
I was very surprised to hear Mr ballet do the story on the A3 crash. I personally new the brother David and worked with him. During the 5 months of his brother Christopher was missing. And was told the reason why. I was working with David when the police turned up at our place of work to confirm the identity of his brother. And I was living in Guildford at the time. R.i.p Christopher ⚘️
Sad for everyone, the robbed and the robber. So it was just a coincidence that the cops found the wrong car? But then where's the car everyone saw? Did at least the colour match?
I absolutely love the Mr. Ballens medical mysteries! My grandmother was a very dedicated nurse and had a soft spot for the strangeness of the medical field. I feel like I'm listening with grandma every time I listen to an episode. ❤
Right?? Being in the med field since I was 19, I always try to “diagnose” the patient before I find out what happens. It’s a fun game I like to play 😂
I'm in the computer field myself, but I've always been fascinated with medical stuff, especially how something can go spectacularly wrong sometimes. Like all of a sudden you are allergic to something you have been eating all your life up until that point? Weirdness.
Reason I bring up computers is that there is a principle known as "Universal design", and that, the human body truly is not. :)
This is odd to say but if you like anime you should watch The Apothecary Daries it's about medical and medicinal mystery very nice watch.
Same
Been here a while now, but so grateful for the consistent uploads. I always love hearing so many interesting stories from around the world. I could listen to these stories for hours. Thank you John for all the hard work!
🤣🤣 Seagull Lung 😂😂 makes me laugh every single time I hear it. Lol
I don't understand why I keep being unsubscribed by RUclips from Mr Ballen i love his stories i look forward to them every Sunday. I remember when he would do a new story 3 or 4 times a week i miss those days. Please keep up the great work Mr Ballen your voice is so soothing to so many of us, and your stories are fascinating ❤
I've had trouble with you tube too. I get my notifications so late. Sometimes it's days. That's not coo😢
I remember those days. Man 3 to 4 days of Mr ballen. I just binge watched the old episodes again
I've been randomly unsubbed from one of the channels i watch before too.
You have changed my life, struggling with adiccion,listening to your stories helps massively ❤ to all you!
You do a great job with these videos, well done sir.
