That was a mad teaser then, lol😂
Can't wait for the full one.!!!
I lost it every time it cut to your facial expression 😂😂😂
You should have put sneak peak or just a few minutes of the story. This was advertised as a full story just to up your foot traffic, how lame.
HOLY CRAP! I REMEMBER hearing this story before but it was on Mr. Nightmare's channel, I think. And it was from the perspective of a friend of the couple's daughter. Freaky, man!
The fact that Mr Ballen told this story perfectly on a podcast-one take. Insane.
Thanks!
@@MrBallen my fanny hurts
@@MrBallen Really makes me happy to see youtubers like you or deadmeat make such an impact in a unique niche. Great stuff 🙂
He is 1 of 1 😢❤
The reason Mr Ballen has 8m subs is because of his genius in TELLING stories, as if he’s sitting in your living room, telling you personally. More often now he’s reading other people’s scripts and I miss when he tells stories like this.
Going for a walk in the forest with no flashlight with someone you barely know, what could go wrong?
I've found that scenario usually turns out to be a lot of fun. But im also pretty into happy fun time in the woods.
@@carolallison9685 take a weapon & flashlight for precautions….
It wasn't her date that was bad. I know I would be hesitant about going with someone I dnk.
Using flashlights in the forest at nights means you are seen first. It's best to allow your eyes to adjust and use your ears or use night vision.
This is the 70s. 0.002% of people are evil
Ive heard literally 100 Mr Ballen stories but it still amazes me how well he can tell a story in detail and have you hanging onto every word
Chris: Have you got any stories that fit this environment? Ballen: Cmon, dude.
5 minutes later M B: Aaand that's the story Chris: wide-eyed, terrified, and questioning his life choices
Literally every story MrBallen ever covered about Oregon 🤣
If’n he didn’t he would in a heartbeat 👍
😂
The quality of the set is insane. Congrats!
Dude, their outside. U should try it sometime. & I am Vampyr
Colors are off to me
Green screen ?
How did they upload it to make it a Long Widscreen Rectangle PiP video on IPhone ??
@@TheLeftCollectiveTLC-sb9zf It's recorded and uploaded in 21:9. That's how
I've heard this story before, but the way Mr. Ballen tells it makes my skin crawl.
Haha, same. I knew exactly where it was going, but he was telling it like such a pro, with the spooky background, I was tuned in! 😂
Chris Destefano told story of his aunt or something having this happen
You are right, I have heard some of the same stories, but Mr. Ballen makes them scarier
Imagine if it was the whole story but it’s not. Read the descriptions before you make yourself look foolish
At first I thought it was gonna be the man under her bed story
it’s cool to hear him tell a story without edits he’s actually really great at it
For a few years now, Mr. Ballen has been a part of my weekend that I make an appointment for. 100%.
🙌
In which form/platform?
@@kelle_li KZhead! He has his own channel where he covers stories exactly like this each week! Has been going for years, so if you haven't been a fan for years, there is alot to catch up on!
He’s awesome. I met him and his family at the airport in Austin last year. Just want over very quick, shook his hand and said I loved his videos. Didn’t want to bother him further when he was about to head on a trip with his family, but he asked me a couple questions and was super nice.
Every Sunday..remember when it was 3 4 or even 5 times a week
I found mr ballen in lockdown early 2021. When it was “3-4 or even 5 times a week” pre story introductions! Fantastic guy and storyteller. I’ve preordered his book and can’t wait to read it!
Miss the 3-4 even 5 times a week then it became Mondays and Thursdays and now it's only on sundays😭
Yes the good ole days with Mr Ballen!! Hell yes. But once a week is much better than none! Plus his new foundation that helps victims and all the Podcasts geez our man is busy! Glad he’s around
He was the lockdown hero I stumbled upon and I’ve been listening religiously ever since. Medical mystery’s. Mr ballen podcast. Bedtime stories now as well. Can’t wait for the book. Wish he’d do an overseas tour story telling. I’m near London and I’d buy a ticket anytime as I’m sure many would
Wait, i think i've heard Mr Ballen saying the F word for the first time in my life...and it felt wholesome! Kinda like he is casually narrating to his friends, so genuine!
Ted Bundy and John Wayne Gacy have some of the most startling interactions with people who have survived encounters with them...
Dude! My dad actually had paintings from JWG Jr, from when he was in prison!!! I have a picture of my dad holding them up from the 90's, it's a long story on why he doesn't still have them... but I wish I had them, I'd sell them and be living pretty right now lol
I am always suspicious about those stories. I have heard so many "I know someone who almost went on a date with Ted Bundy" stories. I think it is just one of those natural urban legends people are prone to inventing.
@Jeremy-ql1or lol yeah, but it's so much more fun to believe them!
Stoked for the full interview. 1 minutes in, and I already recall the story from his channel. LOVE IT
Does he post clips like this before the full pod comes out?
Mr. Ballen is seriously the best storyteller I have ever seen. Like ever
Mr Ballen is HANDS DOWN my favorite youtube channel for over 2 years now. This guy is a painter with words in the way he story-tells.
The face he makes at 5:08 is me 90% of the time I'm watching a Mr. Ballen video. I really hope Mr. Ballen considers narrating a book on an audiobook platform. He's literally perfect.
me, too! 😳😂
*_The background looks breathtaking._* *It is also astonishing to witness how MrBallen can pull out a story, presenting it just as well as he does in his videos.*
Chris is definitely spending some serious money on production. Matching the set lighting to whatever happens to be on the screen, to this level, is genuinely impressive for a podcast.
It’s AI generated 😂
its the virtual studio where they filmed parts of the mandalorian, he made a video about it
If you can’t tell the setting is fake then your blind.
The set looks so good wtf
Can't wait for this one. Been following MrBallen since he started on KZhead. Got me through the first lockdown.
You weren't locked down, you just chose to comply. The plandemic was an IQ test.
This is the exact environment I think of whenever I imagine MrBallen telling a story.
Been watching mrballen for years. His KZhead videos are better than a Netflix series. Every single video is a banger
Thank you!!!
Mr. B Allen your truth/story telling is just as captivating as listening to Morgan Freeman. Suspense, intensity and spine tingling what the fuck. You are awesome at what you do brother ! Thank you for your services.
Well, I used to enjoy hiking. Now I'm not too sure...
Nah, this is a very rare case. I actually feel far safer in the woods than in any city. Animals are very predictable, humans… not so much. Again, this case John is telling about isn’t the usual.
@@GearReviewDepot yes and no..... it's different when you have a gun on your hip and are capable of getting to it quickly and functioning in high stress....
Never go hiking alone & if it is extremely remote carry a weapon. The most dangerous creatures are probably humans that have made these remote woods their home.
@@GearReviewDepot YES. Never go hiking alone & if it is extremely remote carry a weapon. The most dangerous creatures are probably humans that have made these remote woods or forests their home.
@@SassaFrass28 That is definitely not true at all. While animals and accidents might be a danger in remote areas, you are let likely to have trouble with any humans there than anywhere else. And that is not just because there are less humans to cause trouble but because the humans out there are much less likely to be the kind of person to cause trouble. The kind of people who attack random people are disturbed individuals who would not have the resources and intellect to be able to survive in those remote areas.
I've seen Mr Ballen tell this story before ...... but I still got the chills up the spine ! Master storyteller at work!
favorite podcaster + favorite storyteller = I gotta grab my popcorn for this!!
Don't get too comfortable it's only 8 minutes long. 😆😆😆
Chris' Eyes on 5:02 🤣🤣
Hes even got the perfect head sway, it looks so well executed it almost looks fake with that background.
Looks like he's about to go ted bundy on Mr Ballen 😆
Lmfao 😂 cracks me up
Yah! I don't know how Mr Ballen hold his laugh when he notice the way he was looking at him! 😂😂😂
🤨🤨
“Fireside stories with Mr Ballen”… I’ve never been a fan of camping myself but with Mr Ballen around, I’d happily rough it for a few days & listen intently once the stories would start 👍😁
We need the full version asap! Huge fan of you both!
@MrBallen 👏 I've heard this story many times before but, as always, your god-tier storytelling makes me feel as if I were listening to it for the first time. The suspense you build up is magical
Absolutely love this story glad THE FREAKING KING OF STORYTELLING touched on it more!
Freakin love Mr Ballen! Been watching him for years. Everytime I hear his intro song and his voice, this deep comfort and nostalgia sets in like a sweet childhood scent
I love this format of story telling, a podcast scenario... brilliant Mr Ballen ❤
Chris yet again taking the production game 10 levels ahead. Well done, sir, well done! This is spectacular.
This is so fun with this setting. Looking forward to the full episode.
The quality of the backdrops are really impressive! Looking forward to Monday! 🎉
Bro, your quality is so high I don't want to watch other interviews. Keep up the good work!
Man, when I see Mr Ballen in action not in an edited video I realise how much skill he has, I mean it's genuenly impressive. I don't think I could tell a story this well
appreciate that!
Wow two of my favourites. Great content!
Been years since ive came across and follow Mr Ballen. Since he has below a mil subs. Of all the story telling youtubers out there that i came across. No one beats Mr Ballen. I can with certainty assure that. You can hear his stories repetitively without not getting anxious on whats next. Forever Ballen. Love🇸🇬
I have been stocked to listen to this episode since I saw the first pictures!!!!! MrBallen is just pure pleasure to listen to.
Mr. Ballen is my favorite!!! Epic story teller and his mom is such a great writer. ❤
I love this , it's making me want to go through his earlier stories again , even though I have them memorized by now 💗
I absolutely love the set Thank you so much for this interview.. the full interview should have way more views that it does… is it being shadow banned
The background made this podcast amazing 😍
This is awesome production
This set is phenomenal!! wow
Great story. I love that these two have come together! I live in Utah and I can confirm that whole area around Provo/Orem/Pleasant grove is very creepy and off.
Hi John, you and your team are awsome, keep up the great work. 😊
Loving the new set. So cool!
I’ve spent the last 3 years watching Ballen as I get ready for school/clinical and I finally graduate in 3 days. Thanks Mr.Ballen for keeping me going!
That story will never not be totally insane! Gives me goosebumps!
I’ve been up that canyon 100’s of times. Definitely a different vibe at night
The whole county has a different vibe!
The woods at night is creepy in general.
Id like to hear LDS folklore stories about gold mines being guarded by ancients. Stories about bigfoot/cain. Giants in the Rockies and 4 corners area. Stuff has always fasinated me
Love your channel and love Mr Ballen!
Fantastic set ❤
That set is amazing!!
I love both of these guys. Big fan!
Goosebumps everytime I hear this one
You are a gifted storyteller.🤙❤️
This is such a sick set/background for MrBallen to use. I love it.
Wow 2 of my favorite people in the world. Cant wait for the full drop.
insane production quality!
And some nerd out there thinks Infinity War was an ambitiously epic crossover!!
This is such a cool set, and I love Mr. Ballen...perfect combo
i would love to see more videos like this! I think it would be a great idea if MrBallen were to collaborate with different spooky youtubers in different locations and told them scary stories ❤
Awesome story-telling - I was on the edge of my chair.
I’m new here , so hello and i can say i’m glad to have found this channel very entertaining and products that aren’t useless but very helpful ❤
MrBallen is such an amazing storyteller...pumped for this pod!
Heard the story first on Spotify, but actually seeing the podcast here is just different. The scenery is top notch
Hearing this story past midnight in my pitch black bedroom really gave me the chills.
Same here!
This is probably the best background yet!
I GODDAMN LOVE THIS NEW SETUP
Wish I could subscribe twice. Insane cinematic experience 🤯
The lighting on this set is ON POINT
Love the way Mr.B tells stories!
I can listen (and look) at this man all day!! Has such a God given talent❤
You know mrballen is amazing when you've already heard a story from him but you listen to it over again because he's that great❤
This is a crazy story. I can listen to MrBallen tell any story...he's the best!
Dude rhank you for having mrballen, best escapist channel
Loving Mr Ballen's hand gestures as he tells the story ❤
Love this!!
When does the full episode drop?! I need more
Wow, that's super creepy story. The most I love is the Fact that Mr Ballen told that story!. Just love the way he talks and explain everything 👍🌾
Damn I need this full episode asap!
Love the background ☺️
It’s like a perfect retell of his story on his channel. Except in just one take. Epic Ballen 👏👏
You should use backgrounds like that during your show all the time. That looks really cool. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a podcast where it actually looks like you’re out in the environment like that. Definitely should be a new full-time thing for you. It’s really cool.
That backdrop or whatever you would call that sort of background piece looks so good, I wonder where he gets the video/images for it
Glad to see Mr Ballen making the podcast rounds.
Wow. This is amazing. MrBallen telling scary stories by a campfire.
Burning car
Love you Mr. Ballen❤, your storytelling is awesome, and chris, loce you too 😘
One of the best horror and thriller storyteller on you tube is mr ballen ❤ thankyou both of you
The look of this is amazing!!!

MrBallen is one incredible storyteller... Can't wait for this podcast!
I live an hour from provo and this is still one of my favorite stories
Mrballen this is awesome to see you in a different environment!!! Pretty damn cool!!! Thx Chris!!
Yo! This was wild😮 Happy to see Mr.Ballen here.
As soon as I saw the title and saw Mr. Ballen, I knew it was this story. He tells it so well
I don’t know why I found this so funny. Great set!!!!
Well done Chris, Mr Ballen is excellent! 😊
