*I pray for Mr. Ballen's children when they ask him for a bedtime story*
That is funny
If they do I guarantee it will bill dark strange and mysterious

😂👍
Maybe little gothlings?
I used to be a chef. All the walk-in fridges and freezers we used had interior safety buttons to open the door. Why a moulding furnace could be passed as fit for use without one is beyond me.
I had the same thought.
Thank you, I was wondering about that! It’s basic common sense.
and that's why the factory and designer were sued
I bet they do now!
Also recommended to lockout/tag out any large machinery while working in or around it.
The first story had me openly sobbing. Just the thought of what this poor man must have thought and felt, knowing he was going to die, and nobody knew he was in there and he’d never see his family again… it’s just not worth trying to imagine.
It reminds me of the torture device, the bronze bull. It cooks the victim alive, probably the worst way to die. Stories like this are so shocking and so sad. To know your loved one died is one thing, but to know they suffered so horribly...that poor man and his family.
@@rienjenah yes...the infamous brazing bull
You should see the Paria diving disaster of 5 men stuck in the oil pipe underwater
I couldn't go on. I had to break away. I just don't understand how such a system could be devised, implemented, and run without any kind of safety precautions. If I worked there, I would have immediately seen this glaring flaw and raised awareness to management about it. The absolute horror of being cooked alive. I hope I can forget this...
@rienjen the crazy part is that the person who invented that torture device was it's first victim
7:55 threw me off because “REAL PHOTO OF A RAT” made me bust out laughing
What makes it funnier is that is infact, a mouse
@@BonnieMwahLMAO Omg no that is a mouse😭 ONE JOB, BRO💀
The realization and fear of Alan being locked into an oven without any way of escaping must’ve been one of the most heartbreaking and gruesome ways to die.
😢
A violent way to die
Agreed
I reckon Capt. Moaz al-Kasasbeh 🇯🇴 is way up there.
Edit: I posted the wrong name. This is the Jordanian pilot. RIP
Can you imagine the absolute terror
That first story is just too horrific, being cooked alive has got to be one of if not the worst ways to go . I'm so sorry for his family.
And nowhere to go … nowhere to stand … hot all over. At least it happens fairly quickly. Some of these people suffer for days
I can't help but feel like the son in law knew
37 yo grown-ass woman taking anti-anxiety / depression meds due to conditions of living with her aged parents. Even sounds like she's throwing a little shade on them when her area is so bad that she died under the rubble and no one could discern 2 days of human decomposition over the natural of her room. I don't think she was that upset about it. Maybe the last part of the story but definitely not living conditions. Just my guess though.
@@yvette_is_Mamacado its always easy to talk about others if you werent there or didnt know that person.. maybe she just gave up? what would you know about a person
@@typsyk.capone2916 why? because it makes a good story? bad things happen without bad intent
I'm a mortician and that first story is why I flat out refused to crawl into a cremation retort to try and fix it. Not no, but Hell no.
My fiance was there working at the kayak factory the day this happened. It was beyond devastating for the whole family. I couldn't believe it as soon as MrBallen said Alan Catterall, we only live in a little town in the northwest and even alot of people here probably wouldn't know about it so my mind was blown when MrBallen was recounting the story.
I'm so sorry. This must have been absolutely horrid. X
As a Filipino, I think the third story is a case of an Urban Legend manifesting itself into reality. The first two incidents (which I heard started off as just men arguing over who sang it better) may just be purely seperate coincidences but as people continue to spread the rumors "don't sing that song because you'll die", people who were either aware or unaware of it still continue to sing it because it's such a popular song and karaoke (just like what Mr. Ballen said) is a huge part of our culture.
However, the reality is these karaoke bars (beer house) are mostly frequented by people who are down on their luck, who resort to alcohol and prostitution to forget their problems, and we all know such people when mixed with alcohol and hubris, can definitely turn violent when given the slightest of reasons.
Thus, those who dared to sing the song inspite of its growing infamy are then tempting the devil and, unfortunately, some get their chance encounter with him via these intoxicated people inside karaoke bars who've most likely heard the stories behind this song and just kill the singer either during or after singing the song.
This is why noone dares to sing this song in the PH anymore, even the good ones don't dare touch it because we know we might be unfortunate enough to be in close proximity with a crazy person who'd pull the trigger just for the sake of keeping the urban legend alive.
Thanks for the explanation.
Im gonna perform the song on the busiest road in Manila behind a bullet proof encased room then be escorted out of the country by armed men 🤣
I would like to have known if the security guard was arrested, or what become of it? In the story it would seem as if the security guard took on the responsibility of what was to come for singing the song badly, as if it were hjs obligation to to do so, and his change in behavior shows his frustration knowing he was going to have to fulfill that obligation
So interesting, this is wild
Wow! Thank you so much for this, that is a F'ing wild thing to have happen 🫣😱 the Philippines are amazing without crazy urban legends but this definitely gives it more spice!!
I feel really bad for the people who get shot and die.. them poor people just wanted to sing man 😢
Alan’s demise in the oven is one of the worst Mr Ballen stories I’ve heard yet. Not only was it a gruesome death, it was entirely avoidable by implementing the most basic safety precautions. And poor Mark having to live with that mistake the rest of his life. Yeah, this one hurt my heart.
Alleged mistake. Future father-in-law?
I agree
I remember a couple of other stories he covered of equally horrific work place accidents in previous videos.
@@TowGunnerHey hon- Remember that time I fried up your Dad?
@@TowGunnerright either it was on purpose or he’s the lowest IQ mf on earth. How in the hell do you start a gigantic oven blindly? Like not a single thought to make sure the coast is safe? I can’t even start the oven in my own family house without making sure there’s nothing in there
The story of Alan is horrifying. I've worked in a factory that does large scale manufacturing of circuit boards for various applications and we used big furnaces to slow cool hundreds of parts at a time and even in that situation the systems had monitoring systems inside the rooms including weight distribution failsafe's so if anything became unstable and fell the machine would just turn off. It was sensitive enough that a person walking across the floor after the operation had started would have stopped the process. This is why failsafe implementation is obscenly important, even though the furnaces would only reach about 200 degrees in my situation that would still be enough to kill a person and it had precautions, yet a massive 600 degree furnace had none? He should have been charged with far more then he was.
What im wondering is why there was no lockout tagout procedure? It seems very simple in hindsight...
@curtisyue182 I came to say the same thing 😅 this is why we have lockout tagout
I wished there were failsafe's on all machines.. Injection molding of huge items like plastic dumpster lids is a problem. My dad worked most of his life at a place that does injection molding. They had to stop the machine from the control unit if something went wrong or someone was in the machine. Having worked there myself, it's hard to hear someone that is 5 foot a way because of the loud machines.. Much less someone in a loud machine. My dad was always fixing the machines and changing the molds. So I always had a constant fear of him being stuck in the machines.
@@Wormiliuswhere do you work at the requires lock out tag out?
@@ericduncan7266I used to work at a Tenneco parts factory for a short time that did lock out tag out procedures. I also worked as a custodian at a university that implemented this procedure occasionally
i'm happy that you have a story about the Philippines! i'm from the Philippines and when you mentioned the karaoke, i immediately thought of "My Way". it's true that there are multiple murder cases related to that song, it's weird.
Walang may pake
@@EnjayPogi ah, okay, tapos?
Karaoke vs basketball. If you had to choose only one, which one would it be? 🙂
cheers from Serbia
The karaoke story is crazy, I’m Filipino but born in the states. When I used to get on the magic mic at family parties “my way” was one of my favorite songs to sing. My grandpa used to tease me to be careful singing it or I’d get shot. I always thought he was joking, 20 years later I can’t believe this is the first time I’m hearing of these stories. Thank God I only sang this song in the US bc I’m terrible at singing lol
Did he ever say anything about the song itself?
@10RexTheWolf01 Filipinos love this song "my way", it is an easy song to sing and was a very popular karaoke choice before and got over played that people got sick with it, especially people who work at these bars. So you had to do well with that song or you might get beat up or killed if you do it badly.
As Italian as it is, i love Frank Sinatra and My Way is one of my favourite songs!! I still find it hard to believe that there have been 12 recorded murders!!!(somehow) after singing the song😮
This is insane!
I call bullshit on this story
The hoarding story is a prime example of what the hoarder shows mean by a hazard risk
I can't help but wonder why she did not think of making loud clicking noises with her tongue by pressing it against the roof of her mouth and releasing it under pressure. It's very possible she could have alerted someone and survived if she had just thought of doing that.
@@tehnewsguy I personally think she passed out from the opiates, and never regained consciousness, dying while unconscious. The noises very likely WERE the rats (wanting to eat her--they're rats, it's what they do), and not her.
@@maidenminnesota1 You're probably right. That makes perfect sense.
@@maidenminnesota1Or she passed out from the opiates, woke up some time later, and by then it was too late.
@@maidenminnesota1 Maybe died before/while falling down. How can you not push over a book case? You have all the muscles in your body to just turn it a bit. by twisting you push and make more room, so you can turn upright.
As a filipino, i can say that the reason for murder while singing "my way" is the fact that everyone wants to sing it in karaoke and not everyone has the chance, and when you sing it there's people will try to sing it too with a better voice and better pitch which leads to confrontation due to bragging.
...that is incredibly stupid and makes the whole country look like subhuman garbage
yeah same, I'm a filipino and that song is pretty much common for older guys to sing in a karaoke.
Bro whattt
Mariesa's upside down position reminds me of two young brothers, I think in their 20s, who went out caving. One brother thought he was going down the Birth Canal, but he wasn't. He got stuck, called out for his brother. The brother couldn't get him loose, so he called for help. The stuck brother hung upside down in that part of the cave for almost two days while the rescuers tried getting him out, to no avail. He died right there, and nobody was ever able to get him out. They shut that cave down, and his remains are still in there. I can't even begin to fathom that type of horrible pain and the fear it must have produced, for that young man or for Mariesa.
I wouldn't compare the 2... One was an act of stupidity by doing something dangerous and getting your directions wrong which led to death... The other was just an act of stupidity.
Mr Ballen has covered the Nutty Putty Cave disaster
Nutty putty cave. Very famous case. Damn near everybody had covered it including Mr Ballen
I’m actually horrified by the second story. A body there for that long would stink… the house must have been in a horrendous state not to notice the smell
@@ruladiesman217 Or hoard.
@@missfortune8553hoarding is not something they choose to do
Yeah, but you could definitely try to help someone with a hoarding issue. Also if you already have a infestation of some sort you would not tolerate someone contributing to that problem @@ebonyharris5412
Darwin
They probably thought some rats had died too. It is a rough one
The minute you said Alan's future son-in-law went to the control room, I cried. It was already horrific enough, but that made it even more heartbreaking
Yes, that’s what I felt. So horrible for both poor men!!
I wonder if he still got married to her after this, I doubt it.
I’m glad the father didn’t tell the son-in-law where he was going before they separated.
@@damocles8417if he had it would have saved his life cause the SIL would have known not to turn it on
@@jessicaavery1080 Sorry, my sense of irony went too far there. Just realized.
I always go through an emotional roller coaster of panic and despair when someone is trapped. These factory stories make me feel lucky to be alive. I’ve worked at some factories that had questionable safety practices too.
This is why we started to require everyone in our factory to wear earpieces for communication. It is way too loud to hear if someone gets stuck or trying to yell out for help.
Story #2 was terrifying... To realize your daughter was right there, dying, and you didn't know...
I hope it motivated them to clean their house. There was no reason for her to die like that.
Have you ever thought of a similar series where people are trapped in sudden death situations, but people miraculously surviving at the last possible second?
Shut up...
He has those stories as well of people miraculously surviving the impossible.
@@lookupmarlonsaycheese9477 not enough of them!!
Fr. These ones are so depressing
I think they should be mixed. Thats more exciting.
worst struggle watching your videos is waiting for a month or two for a lot of videos because it always leads to the urge of bingewatching 4-5 videos. Always feels good waking up at like 4 am and starting having early breakfast and all the new videos :3
I don't think Ballen gets enough love for his foley work. It's very immersive with the storytelling. Great job!
Looks like Gina, Mariesa's sister was incredibly affected by what she found, because she passed away young as well, looks like from drinking according to the obit written by the mom. That poor mom. RIP girls.
@@NyQuilDonutPeople usually do not drink themselves to death just because they like to drink, though.
@@maximillian1109 Yes they do lol. Tons of people get addicted because they loved to party, and then it became an addiction. It doesn't have to be any deeper than that though it could be of course. The assumption is just silly.
@@NyQuilDonut I don't know, finding your sister dead and decomposing is pretty hard to imagine getting over. I am not making an assumption, her mother states she drank herself to death and that she found her sister dead in that obit. A silly assumption would be...she just liked drinking. At least after hearing the story and actually listening to the whole thing and reading the obit. Of course I am not a sociopath and feel empathy, so maybe that's a challenge for some folks. So I'll just explain it clearly for you so that even if you are "feelings challenged" you can see the connection. Finding your sister in her room decomposing= Effed up situation. Most normal people would be pretty affected by that for the rest of their lives. Might even understandably drink themselves into oblivion.
@@NyQuilDonuttry finding both your parents and one sibling dead from your house being bombed and watching their corpses being pulled from the rubles and your father missing top half of his body...let's see if you'll not get drug or drinking problems from it...and before you ask I'm Palestinian so I know the feeling dude...don't talk about people you don't know please...people have serious issues out here...more than you could possibly imagine my brother
@@catserver8577 I don't know why anyone's arguing with me on this point. I never said that it's not the reason she drank herself to death. None of us knew her. Enough with this armchair psychologist nonsense.
The karaoke story blew my mind. I'm a bartender and actually loathe working when it's going on. But for one song to trigger murder is so bizarre.
Yeah I don't get that one either. Seems a bit sketchy to me
super weird that there's allegedly no explanation for the phenomenon. wish he'd included what happened to Robilito after killing the guy, esp his personal statement of motive.
im a filipino and its true about the song my way, many died by singing that song
@@watchfreemovies9127why does this happen?
@watchfreemovies9127 any insight as to why why?? I'm so curious
Fun fact: The band Journey found a replacement singer for Steve Perry when they were sent online video of a man from the Philippines singing Journey songs at karaoke bars. The man's name is Arnel Pineda and he has an unbelievable voice!
Haven't really got through the entire video yet so I'm not sure what this has to do with anything but the picture with Trent Reznor is pretty cool I'm very curious on how that came about because it looks like younger Trent Reznor I mean that dude is a legend Nine Inch Nails has a lot of good songs
Yeah but no one beats Steve Perry and the band kinda did him dirty, if anything the new guy just trying to be Perry
@@savannahcaustrita8294 I feel that way about Queensryche and their singer, Geoff Tate. Losing their original guitarist, Chris DeGarmo really hurt the band. They weren't the same afterwards.
@@mermaid_at_heart213 I definitely understand that, queensryche is great. Also, Steve Perry was willing to stay with the band, he literally just asked them to wait for his vocal surgery to recover. They're fake af for replacing him like that
I think in the second story, that respiratory depression may have also played a part ALONG with all the blood pooling. It’s a major warning you get from your doctor when they prescribe any kind of narcotic (obviously I don’t know if the meds were prescribed or purchased off the street). Morphine especially is not all that hard to od on if you take just a little too much.
For the last story: my Filipino friends are so intense about karaoke that they will pack an expensive karaoke machine into an extra suitcase when traveling overseas. I had no idea about the murders surrounding "My Way," but they sung it EVERY TIME we had a karaoke session. Every single time.
I mean, I would never advocate violence against someone, but I really hate that song. So when I found out that it was the forbidden song, I wasn't surprised.
@@patrickt.6492I love it
@@patrickt.6492I go to this karaoke bar where one dude will sing it multiple times in a night among other frank Sinatra songs. He is a dreadful singer
They were probably just happy to be able to sing it without risking gunplay.
@@patrickt.6492 why? I mean it's not the best song ever... But not the worst either...
I feel so bad for the first guy. Imagine the guilt of accidentally killing your father in law
I really need to stop reading the comments before I watch the video... LOLOL!
"accidentally"
@@suzannenichols6900 Why would you read the comments before you watch the video? That's like brushing your teeth before you eat dinner.
@@suzannenichols6900yes, you absolutely do.
I can’t imagine the fear and anxiety he felt knowing what would happen and he couldn’t get out. Very sad
I think we can all agree that MrBallen is the best storyteller on CZcams.
Why do I still love Mr Ballen even tho he does each of his stories so similar?! He's just one of those awesome guys. Love from Wales.
I'm Filipino and I love Karaoke but I never knew you could get booed for being a bad singer, it never happened to us, we even cheer the bad singers because it's actually fun to watch them try and pour their hearts out while singing.
There is sometime that this became news in the philippines, because people get killed as they say because they choose to sing MY WAY, i still remember those days.
Well all places are not same, Some are bad
Is is around 2000ish. So it might be different now.
Just my opinion but if Frank Sinatra is the best version of My Way. Why would anyone try to match vocals with old blue eyes??
You don't represent everybody in the Philippines.
Mariesa’s story is so sad. Hoarders often aren’t taken that seriously and it isn’t seen as a mental illness, so it breaks my heart that they even started to smell her body and were like oh it’s just messy mariesa’s room. That is so sad
Yes! If someone is hoarding, especially to the amount where you can't tell decomposing smells apart from what's normal, the person definitely needs some sort of help since it is 98% of the time a sign of something off.
Also, why didn't the police search the room properly? This case broke my heart. 💔
My brother n law is like that I’ve cleaned his room many times but he gets upset. When he leaves I stop by and clean up as fast as I can. After reading your comment opened for me to continue helping him. And he’s a really nice person. 💕
@@sanchitamukherjee5406 that’s exactly what I was thinking, that almost angered me, but for the time being, too much emotion is not available.
God rest
@@syndicatesanctuary8692 exactly.
The first story is really sad, but it also shows a very strong reminder of just how important it is for companies as well as it's workers to follow proper lock out/tag out protocols when working on or in any kind of machinery, and why ANY worker who works on a machine must sign onto a lockout tag, and then sign off once they are finished!
I really feel for his son in law, what a shitty thing to have hang over his head forever.
LOTO God get sick of the constant training but sure do feel thankful for them after hearing stories like this
Mark burned his girlfriend's father alive, got his half of the kayak company then married his daughter.
I've been subscribed to you for a while but for some reason never watched any of your videos. I'm so glad I decided to start watching them today! You are AMAZING. I'll be binging your videos for the next few days 🖤
I work in plastic injection molding facility been there for nearly 10 years cleaning the molds and inside of the machines and our safety guy ironically named Alan used to drill it in our heads about the dangers of not using our lock out tag out procedures and I’m pretty sure we discussed this first story as an example of the importance. Locking out only takes maybe one or two extra minutes. It’s worth it
Always wedge the doors even with LOTO lol
Using the LOTO or Lock Out Tag Out, is the simplest way to save a Life!.
exactly! and if you see a hasp, try and throw your lock on there too! more tags means it's less likely for someone to wrongly assume no personnel aren't working on the machine!
Even with lock out tag out, they may have thought they fixed the problem and it was safe to go ahead and remove the lock. Seems to me they should have had a procedure for cleaning the molding rooms so they knew someone was in there before they removed the lock.
@@justletmeuseit you're NEVER supposed to remove a LOTO lock if you're not the one that put it there in the first place. If they remove lock, a caution light won't do anything.
Alen's story is an example of why you need to take lockout tagout procedures extremely seriously.
Exactly!
I concur with excactly! So many maintenance operators die because simple steps aren't followed. I will never climb into a machine not knowing personally it has no chance of starting personally.
I was looking for this type of comment, LOTO(lock out, tag out)!!!
Yup, worked in a candy making factory for a brief time and that was one of the things they told us iver and over
#This
If I remember correctly, the people who died from the my way song are often associated with gangs. In first few incidents of the killings, it involved men that were on a hit list. Guys who sang these song were those that, well did shit that got their names on a hit list and this song was their triumphant last cry that no matter what happens, they did it their way. Over time it kinda grew from their and people developed a superstition over it.
Wow, it's a truly diverse story selection this time. Heartbreaking, sad, and horrible in that order. Yet all very well told.
Love these classic style tri-stories. All your formats are great, but with an occasional change up keeps things fresh!
my favorites!!!
Yea all we are missing is the random pictures hidden in the story!
For Alan got to say, the fear of knowing that he would die being cooked alive and die a slow and extremely painful death; the fact that he understood nobody would come in time to help him...
got to be the most heart wrenching stories ever 😭😭
You understand that he would be mad as hell at his son-in-law if he knew it was him that started the process up completely out of robotic behavior, I mean how do you expect that kind of relationship to survive after nearly getting killed by your own family?
@@cursedhawkins1305What. No he wouldn't. It was an honest mistake. How could he have known? He couldn't, therefore, he wouldn't get mad or hold a grudge. I mean, any decent human being with common sense wouldn't anyway.
@@JesseDumontt We don't know how the family in that story operates, there's been examples of families I've seen featured on the "Be Amazed" channel where they act normal at first but the second you did something or changed who you were then all of a sudden, your disowned by your own family.
There was even a case of someone who DID hold a grudge because their parents did the whole "favorite child" and would only punish the other child and when said "favorite" child was on their death bed due to the two being twins the parents asked the child they had practically abused during their entire childhood to give up his kidney as their "favorite" was in need of a kidney in order to survive, you can make a good educated guess what happened.
@@cursedhawkins1305that's messed up, even if I was the black sheep I would have given my kidney to my brother. Ain't nothing like being a good human being. 💯✌️❤️
@@PokemonRocketPulls Really? What about if your parents threw you out because you were in a same sex relationship? The same parents that were then begging for your Kidney?
Edit: oh yeah before I forget, and the only reason they even found out was because of your brother, the same brother on their bed, the same brother who had bullied you throughout your childhood all because they could get away with it.
i really appreciate the way you tell stories and i also appreciate the sound effects you put in. it does make a difference!
WE WANT MORE!!! 🔥 🔥 🔥 love the 3 places you can't go and people who went there anyway video series.
Keep up the great work.
I am from the Philippines and have been a Mr Ballen subscriber for maybe at least a year now. This is the first time I've seen him do a story from our country lol. Love it! It's true that a lot of people are getting killed while or after singing that song. Maybe even more than what is reported. I even have a cousin who got murdered after singing that song, he has a good voice so he didn't butcher the song. It was said that perhaps the killer got mad because my cousin sang it better than him. There must be something about the message of the song that is so emotional and that a lot of people consider it so close to their heart so they don't want to hear people ruining it or hear other people outshining them with this song. We actually are not allowed to sing this song in any of our karaoke parties or any family gatherings lol! It has become kind of an urban legend.
Parang narinig ko po itong kwento na ito tungkol kay frank sinatra
I never new that karaoke was such a serious thing in the Philippines.
I don’t wish to be culturally insensitive, but that seems so petty and unfathomable to me.
@@somedude4805 IKR It's totally crazy and ridiculous! It's so unfathomable that it's unbelieveable and we might have to fact check it because it's so insane. Like, WTF.
Why? Why kill someone over something so trivial? Do they also kill people for walking down an alley while wearing crocs?
I am from the Philippines, and it is true that Frank Sinatra's 'My Way' is considered a popular song in our country. However, it's important to clarify that the song itself is not responsible for causing harm. Most incidents where people got into altercations, whether by snatching the microphone while or prior to singing, and other reasons that are typically due to factors like alcohol intoxication. Unfortunately, in some cases, disputes may escalate, leading to regrettable consequences."
Thanks for covering the last story Mr. Ballen, I am one of your avid fans here in the Philippines, KUDOS as always!
It is still pretty bizarre, but thank you for the insight, I was curious. I'm on star maker, but I haven't recorded in a year. I gotta get back in the game lol. Lots of Philippinos on Star Maker, I enjoy singing with them.
Thank you! I knew the story was a bit fishy
@@jeffjeannette9364 The Philippine karaoke pictures that you showed is middle class to upper class. You said that the victim was dumpster diving and selling scraps. The karaoke places where they usually frequent, given limited budget, are usually shady ones in shady areas. Where trouble usually brews.
Long ago, I passed by one of these and it was scary and dark. (On the way to the train.) Also, someone was singing really badly. That was when I realized why those random news that I see, make sense.
So everyone is usually drunk already in a lower bracket karaoke bar (they actually call it "beer haus"), then everyone just sings at the top of their lungs where people passing by on the streets can hear. The one I passed by long ago, sounded like a braying donkey. It was really grating to the ears and super loud. (Most of these lower bracket beer houses have open fronts. So imagine a cafe without doors.
Then there's also news of people who would not give up the microphone and also, since they are drunk, tempers flare.
This can also happen in many areas where people keep singing until way past midnight even until morning. Basically there really were no limits even if people sing karaoke in their houses for days and everyone can hear or if some neighbors complain (but the cycle just repeats). Until the president in 2016 placed a curfew that karaokes and merry making in streets should stop by 10pm.
So imagine karaoke everywhere and most of the Philippines are below poverty and middle class. So the noises that go on without limit, it does cause a lot of anger overtime especially when you are stuck with neighbor's who do it for many years.
I don't know if karaoke without time limits anywhere and everywhere still happens there as of 2023 but if you were able to visit before 2016, most people would know why and understand.
Thank you, for posting the story. USA 🇺🇸 KENTUCKY. Home of the KY Derby. Horse racing.
@@cissymckinley3154no one cares
Please do more of these, Honestly these are super chilling and informative
You are such a good story teller. And the little background noises (knocking on a door for instance) add so much.
So the kayak molding room was shut down because the circuit board was broken. Couldn't Alan have just gone to the circuit board and 'broken' it to turn off the oven? These stories make me think of a scenario where I'm in a life and death situation and end up dying because I overlooked a simple solution that would have saved me.
When you're in the panic mode you forget all life lessons. It's like asking the number for 911 and then realizing that is the number.
More than likely the circuit board is on the outside and it sounded to me like he was trapped inside.
the 3rd story is absolutely baffling. thanks to my grandma, I'm a huge Sinatra fan and My Way is probably my favorite song by him. its just such a strange situation, I'm gonna be thinking about this for a while
Yeah I’m confused why there aren’t more comments about that story yet ! It’s such a bizarre occurrence, or possibly coincidence?
@@ollieollieoxenfree3246havent heard that song since I was a child, probably because of these deaths.
I love that song this will stick with me as well. I actually listened to the song after to try and figure it out lol. Now “Mack the Knife” that I could possibly understand😂
I just looked it up apparently it's a major thing like wtf... I don't understand what would compel someone too shoot somebody for singing my way out of tune when he was just chatting too him and bring friendly wtf
I'm from PH and as soon as I heard they are going to karaoke I know that he'll sing "my way" and that he'll end up killed
As someone from the Philippines, the moment you mentioned KARAOKE (coupled with the words from the video description), I automatically knew it's about the "My Way" phenomenon. It's no secret that Filipinos love to sing, hence, the success of karaoke. People here can turn violent in the karaoke usually for these 4 reasons: (1) singing off-key/out of tune, (2) singing the same song for hours on repeat, (3) hogging the microphone, and (4) fighting over who gets to sing the song. There was one incident close to where I'm at a good few years ago where 2 people started fighting with knives apparently because of this 4th reason; they also called their friends for 'back-up' a few minutes later (a few people brought with them strips of wood that we call 'dos por dos'). It was a riot. IIRC, it was fortunate no one died in that incident because a local police station was nearby and the police responded quickly, but there were definitely injuries because I remember seeing some blood. I don't remember that incident making the news, but it was totally bonkers. It was in broad daylight too (it was in the afternoon) and I reckon they were a bit drunk.
But these incidents of violence mostly happen when partnered with inebriation. When people are sober, tensions can get de-escalated or won't even rise at all. But with "My Way", people can get extremely violent even when sober. It is odd that this seems to happen only with "My Way" though; tensions are so much lower when it's a non-"My Way" song. Just sing it in private and you're totally safe.
I'll note though that one notable incident that's attached to the My Way killings is a total coincidence. Apparently, the victim was always a hit target for what is believed to be a politically motivated assassination. The killing just happened to occur while the victim was singing "My Way" at a karaoke when 2 men on a motorcycle passed by and shot him so suddenly.
This phenomenon is very strange. Why on earth does such an upbeat song cause such extreme reactions? I could understand if it was Nickelback.
The fact that any song, period, can cause such reactions and/or the death of an individual is absurd. I don't know what the laws are like in the Philippines, but I'd like to think murder equates to a severe prison sentence of some kind. Wonder if it's worth it to those who find themselves SO upset over a damn song that they'd rather take someone's life than just leave the room or something
@@couriersix2443I guess it’s not massively different to football hooligans here in the UK. Getting violent over a sport. The reality is the majority of these offenders where looking for violence and used football as an excuse. Probably some similar thing here when they take into account their pride in karaoke
That's not a love for music that's something else, even in times of war and there were war songs you would only get killed by the enemy for singing it. Music is supposed to be a relief of emotions bro
@@notbloodylikely4817 It's a mystery even to us as well. There are some who tried to explain and make sense of the phenomenon, but I forgot what their explanation was.
EDIT:
But truthfully, it really only rarely happens. The My Way ban from karaoke is only prevalent in the Manila/Luzon areas, but here in the Visayas (or at least where I'm at), there appears to be no such ban because I recall hearing someone sing My Way in a public karaoke fairly recently, and it was peaceful. It's also still available in the song list in some karaokes.
My favorite category! these and the old cave diving stories are gold 👏🏽👍🏽
Im glad I found Mr Ballens channel because I like the thriller and horror genre, plus the way how he tells the stories and the fact that its actually real. Although Ive watched his channel for a couple of months, I never actually gave feedback until now. I also watched the video that was in south africa(where I am from) in cape town of the girl that got kidnapped when she was an infant
As boilermakers, we receive constant formations and sometimes repetitive safety classes. That molding room accident reminds me of 1 term: Padlocking procedures
I work in a steel mill, and it's the same way. Quarterly trainings on fire extinguishers, working from height, LOTO, vehicles and maintenance, etc.
I was thinking Lock out Tag out would have already been done
Same, was surprised they didn't do this simple practice.
@@kalabor106smaller companies aren't under the restrictions a large corporation would have to deal with. Probably just lack of oversight because they thought they were above safety procedures. And that's why I tell every person I've ever trained" your safety only comes first to you, and at the end of the day if you die this company will replace you instantly, no job is worth your life take your time and if it feels wrong, it probably is wrong"

I can’t even imagine the fear Alan must have felt trapped in that oven knowing he was probably going to die in a matter of minutes. I hope he didn’t suffer too long. Also the guilt mark must have felt after it happened must be unimaginable too. I wonder if they got married in the end
No, "probably". Death was there with him and he knew it.😢 It's horrifying
That’s exactly what I was thinking survivors guilt must have destroyed mark, and being so close to the families pain surely would have destroyed the relationship if their relationship managed to survive it would have been incredible ❤️😢 xx
It's so unfair for anyone to go through this ordeal during their last moments. I too hope he died asap, but even if it took a minute it must've felt like an eternity. So cruel.
@@jtabox R.I.P. Alan, very sorry for what took place. I'd imagine I'd try to knock myself unconcious by hitting my head against the metal walls so as to not experience the alternative death. But this might just make it worse if I was to wake up in a daze, don't know.
His eyes would have boiled then his brain. You can only hope he lost consciousness before his skin caught fire!
Hey Mr ballen keep ballin' love re listening to your stories, it's your friend joey b, I'm disabled and have unlimited pain killers but hate them on my guts and get constipated, so can't enjoy food... I've re watched all your stuff for last 3 days n only took 6 pain pills instead of 36, so u take my mind off pain and can eat good food since pills ain't bunging me up... had steak and chicken n stomach don't hurt your stories make my pain leave my brain and probably helping me live longer... I love how u tell stories, thank u , u are literally making me want to live... I'm a country boy n my favorite thing is to get my mom to help me out to front porch and love listening to your scary stories outside and since I'm disabled there is no way I can get inside and tell my family not to get me, so I love being stuck outside listening to scary stories ... someday s I take 18 pain pills on days I'm listening to you I only take 2, thank u, u are literally a miracle worker even told my Dr about u and how u make my pain go away... thank u
I hope you are still doing okay! ❤
Used to be a dye setter at a factory building that formed parts for trucks and Whirlpool. Was always sketched out having to crawl into the presses to clean plastic from the injection ports. NOBODY at the factory ever followed proper lock out procedures.
Story #2
If I were her family, I don't think I would ever be able to fully forgive myself for not seeing her sooner. To think how many times they were in her room looking for clues of where she might have gone. For her to be only a few feet away from them but they didn't see her leg or hear her until it was far too late. I hope her family does eventually forgive themselves for not seeing her sooner.
The parents weren't really looking her. They didn't care and probably found her food riddance. Western families do not much about each other.
It may have been hard to find her in the hoard.
I know, based on the story it doesn’t seem like they looked very hard… If her foot was visible how would they not have seen it sooner?
@@zephyr2905 I know all of this in the video is like 4th hand information, but given how many days seemed to have passed before they even went far enough into her room to find her wallet, I agree, it just really doesn't sound like they looked around in there at all. I mean, yes, 'my loved one could be trapped behind the furniture' isn't the first place your brain is going, but by the second afternoon of no contact I'd be in there looking for a journal or a laptop or some kind of note that could give me a clue on where she could be. It might have already been too late, but I just can't imagine waiting almost two weeks before 'properly' looking around her room after she totally disappeared.
Bookshelf and Bureau, that she died behind, seems like the absolute FIRST place that you'd look for any notes or letters she may have left.🤔
Moral of the Story: *Companies should always have safety precautions.* Glad the company and creator had consequences for their negligence.
It seems like the consequences would've been a lot less severe if that story happened in the United States
@@I3AcKP4cKim thinking the company(if in America) would have settled for a few million, not a few hundred thousand like in the story... im also thinking the guy who designed and built it could have placed blame on the installers and/or on the company itself for not a) requiring him to install a safety feature and making sure he did, and b) the company not seeing this as a potential life hazard and making some kind of thing that would block the door from closing completely without a prior safety check, especially if someone could just walk right in.
His lawyers would have had a field day with this one bc in America, everyone just blames everyone else for their problems.
Consequences are one thing... but to fine a man just because he didn't have the foresight to assume that someone might get trapped in a giant oven is a bit ridiculous. I could understand if the money went to the family of the victim, but I really doubt it did... and what would time in prison teach the guy? "Gee, next time I design an industrial oven, I'd better think about every single possible way that someone could do something stupid and get hurt..." Both the victim and the guy who turned on the oven were negligent, not just the company and the guy who designed the machine. Unfortunately, the victim suffered the ultimate consequence for his own negligence. I sure as hell wouldn't screw around in a giant oven that I had just repaired, KNOWING that it could be turned on at that point and nobody would be able to hear me yelling over the other noise in the factory.
The moral of the story is that people shouldn't trust companies, or anyone else, for their OWN safety.
In USA there would’ve been a lockout/tag out implemented and wouldn’t have happened.
@@injesusnamewepray46 I was just thinking here in America that there would be no jail time that would be served for anyone in the story. But you're right. More money and bigger fine amounts would be circulating.
Wow!! the story about Maurice such a tragic story!!! I’ve had some close calls myself and even I could never imagine if no help was coming! Poor lady😢so sorry for the familys loss 😢
This is the best MrBallen category, i love these ones❤️
Alan’s story is so unbelievably horrible to me. In the majority of fires, victims succumb to the superheated smoke exposure entering you lungs, not the fire itself (if a victim is burned, it’s usually post-Mortum). The fact that Alan died from being burned from the outside to the inside, absolutely breaks my heart. I also cannot imagine the trauma for his son-in-law, who he seemed to have a loving relationship with, and the guilt he must feel for something that was truly his companies fault for lack of safety features being in place.
Make you feel a little better burn victims after a certain amount of damage the nerve endings die so hopefully he became numb to the pain
One or two breaths will sear enough lung tissue that the victim will asphyxiate.
One way in to the business.
I wonder if this daughter and that future son-in-law (as he called him in the video) ended up still getting married. That'd be hard to overcome.
@@moneybags733ify Yep when you get 3rd degree burns that means your nerves have died/been destroyed, but up until that point you're in exruciating pain...
I do the same job as Alan in a different moulding factory in the uk, so this story really hit home... I'm gonna be extra paranoid at work now to follow all the safety protocols. RIP Alan.
U stay safe. It's always a tiny mistake that causes the really bad deaths in factories. People get so used to the repetitive activity that certain things become reflexive. Also places that ignore safety protocols naturally can go for years without something happening but then it always ends up happening.
Had you ever heard this story before? PS I love cheesy potatoes 😊

Make sure your company has Lock out, Tag out procedures in place. First, go to power source and make sure the power is off, then lockwire a Lock out, Tag out Tag, normally red, onto the switch in a way that it can't be turned on unless the lockwire is cut. Only the person who put the tag in place can remove it. There are signature, date, as so forth lines to fill out on the tag. If you can't lockwire it into the off position, the tag lockwired on the appropriate switch is at least better than nothing. In addition, training should be required so that everyone working there knows what the tags are, what they mean, where blank ones can be found and how to use them. It's also a good idea to work in teams and make sure when maintenance is being done on a particularly dangerous piece of machinery that it is announced at start of the shift meetings or turnover meetings.
My gosh, that last story still has my mouth hanging open.
Plus, your way of telling it just makes it even CRAZIER!!!

I just had to go check but the first story, a friend of mine was actually there when this awful thing happened to his work colleague and he is still haunted to this day by the incident. So it was a bit surreal hearing you speak about it but I say thank you Mr. Ballen for telling this story with such respect just like you do with all of your stories you share🤗
Haunted by what he didn't know until dude was dead.

That first story, really got to me. I can't imagine how treacherous it would be to know that the inevitable is coming and there is absolutely nothing you can do to stop it.
when keepin it real goes wrong
Sometimes when i sing in the shower , i fantasize about going to do karaoke, i think of all the good things that can happen and all the bad things that can happen , but never ever did i think it could go that horribly wrong in any instance. That's insane.
Well thank god id be ok singinh that song down there. I sing all day at work everyday, especially frank sinatra. Lol when i dont sing customers ask me if somethings wrong or they tell me hey i come in to shop here to hear you as well. Every single person ypung or old, will tell me you need to go to the voice or american idol or xfactor. Now i want to go to phillipines and try and knock it out of the park lol

As someone who is constantly told that the music I like incites violence, it’s quite uncanny to hear that My Way by Frank Sinatra is basically triggering The Purge in the Philippines… Topsy-turvy world we live in.
Yeah if they start rapping NWA there will be a massacre.
It's because it's for some reason summoning a demon for whatever reason over there idk. But that's what it is.
@@lilplay86can you explain more?
The song sucks anyway.
Honestly I was floored when I heard this because I also feel this way when hearing that song. Something about the melody makes me unbelievably angry, it’s just such a horrible horrible combination of sounds to me. I hate literally every aspect of it, from the words to the melody and the rhythm, the long drawn out notes. And I normally like tons of Sinatra songs! It’s so bizarre.
Hi John! Your stories have not only been interesting, they’ve helped me through the loss of my husband, grieving, and now Dad being slowly lost to dementia/nursing home placement. For what it’s worth, you have helped keep me distracted and grounded, and I thank you.
Sorry for your loss ❤️
So sorry for your losses. Im sending you some good energy.
That's cool you have something entertaining to seemingly distract you from these things. And I'm sorry for your loss and the current situation. The best thing to do and to turn to is Jesus Christ. Without him we're all doomed and we're all going to die one day then it's heaven or hell and without him we would be going to hell. Jesus is always there waiting on us to come to him, he is the savior. Anyways take care and God bless.
I hope you are doing alright after a couple big losses😢 Please keep on keeping on.
My mother had dementia. Its a awful disease. I wish they'd finally find a cure for it. Im so sorry this is happening to you. My husband and my children is all the family I have really. Idk what I would do without my husband.
The first story happened in the town I grew up in. I remember hearing about it around Christmas. Was such a tragic story at the time.
Thank you.
It really is crazy how some of these collector/hoarder stories go. Crazy to think how you wouldn't be able to find a person in their bedroom.
Yeah, that story didn't make any sense until it clicked in my head, "Oh, they're hoarders." The rat infestation, a room so full of stuff that someone can get trapped behind it and no one can see her -- and, finally, a body decomposing and no one thinks the smell is strange.
I'm def not a hoarder, but these stories make me want to get up and clean. So sad thats what contributed to her death. Ill bet with all those drugs she was disoriented AND being upside down, hopefully she just passed out and died in her sleep.
I'm just hoping the rats stayed away from her but unfortunately they probably didn't. It must have been so traumatic for her sister to find her like that.
An alternative to the hoarder idea. At her age living with parents may mean she had divorced bringing her possessions with her.
The thought that one could quite easily b living next door...
1st story: this is why most factories use the "lock out/tag out" system to prevent things like this happening.
Yeah, that first story blew me away. Whatever happened to safety procedures we take for granted in the US? Lock out/tag out, buddy system (one person stands guard outside the door, just in case), double checking that all is clear before restarting a machine or other piece of equipment, communication with coworkers, "hey I'm gonna be working on this, do not restart just because lights come back on, escape/panic button in case of accidental confinement... there were SO MANY WAYS this could have been prevented. It's beyond a "perfect storm," this was just downright carelessness on everyone's part. I would have never gone inside a contained space like that without multiple safety nets, such as a guard on the lockout/tag out, a guard/buddy at the door, a big piece of equipment (dolly, metal bar, something to block the door from closing, etc.), unplugging the equipment, etc. I also would never just hit restart on a piece of equipment just because the lights came back on. I would personally walk down and check that it's okay to restart before doing so. Such a sad and totally preventable death.

Wow that karaoke story is so WILD to me. That song is one of the ones my father, uncles, and family friends loved to sing at parties back in the 80's. We're a Filipino household, and the majority of the people I'm talking about were serving in the US military & living in the US, which is why it's just beyond bizarre to me that this song elicits violence.
My favorite series of yours 🤘
So many people get killed cleaning up in a factory...Including my father. He was cleaning up in a chipper mill because the night shift didn't do it. He went underneath a belt to sweep some sawdust, but when he pulled the broom back, it got stuck in the feeder, so it tried to pull the metal broom handle in, but my dad was stuck between the broom and the metal underneath the belt. The broom crushed his chest and he was stuck there until someone found him. He died instantly, and the only mark on him was a tiny bruise on the center of his chest where the broom hit him.
