![Eminem - Houdini [Official Music Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/22tVWwmTie8/mqdefault.jpg)
The secret is at 15:19 and the like button covering your shirt label
Well done Brian! Only person I've seen get it so far!
I was about to type it maaan
Dang it
That one looked hard
Fuccccck! You have good eyes. I was searching forever !
"Here I am" creepy things kids say after being lost in the woods for almost a week
And she was so calm about it too.......
That "real" (it just seems so weird wetjer it is real, which I guess it is, or not) photo at 5:05 did not help.
@Steve Colour I agree!! That photo is one of the creepiest things I've seen!!
That no wonder the 8 year old didn’t die! She was a demon!!! Lol jkjk
are kids really scary……
Quiet child voice in the middle of the woods: "Here I am"
Me as a searcher: nope nope nope. Not today, Satan. I've seen that horror movie before
lol
If you ignore that you would not find anything at all
Why did this make me bust out laughing?! 🤣 Not Today Satan! Lmao! I would do the exact same thing
Worst part was how she looked like a 70 year old lady in a toddlers body
I agree I would say nope bye
Moved to Arkansas a few years ago, and after getting comfortable enough I asked one of the old shopkeepers why the locals had such reverence or fear of the forests. He told me "Long before there were signs on every path and churches on every corner, folk lived prayed and died in these woods, and the woods remember. You look after the forest, the forest will look after you. You abuse the forest, and you'll feed the roots."
Wow. That’s wild & in a weird way eloquently put.
yea thats about how it go's
Sounds like the beginning of a good short story
Yaaaa a lot histaryyyyyy in that there forrestttt.........
That legit gave me shivers
I recall hearing a story about a three year old boy who spent days in the woods lost with no warm clothes in below freezing temperatures at night. When he was found, he was physically, unharmed, hydrated, and not even scared. When they took him to the hospital, he told his grandma that a bear took care of him and kept him warm for the three days he was missing, and I completely believe him.
I do too
Lol, no he said the bear man, and since sasquatch is not supposed to exist he was told to say bear, there's were news reports about how adamant the kid was that it was a big man hairy like a bear, bear man was his exact words then once the gov. Stepped in it was a bear like always, lol.
@@bullterriermolly5874 proof he was told to say bear
I think he’s a naughty little liar
Yeah man you literally heard that on this channel
I had a history teacher who told stories the way MrBallen does, and I aced that class. Great storytelling.
love it!
@@MrBallen hello!! Happy new year!
I did as well!!! His name was Mr. Phelps! The first history class I ever actually cared for and did my homework for!
He really made you feel his passion for his chosen teaching field!
Thanks, Mr. Ballen, for being such and incredible storyteller!
Yes me too! It’s the only subject I did really well in. It’s all about the delivery... MrBallen is the same, he is so interesting to listen to! I wish I could take an exam !
Me too!
Us Native Americans were told many stories about going into the forest at night, our grandparents and elders around us always said that there are shadows and creatures that aren't of this world in the forest and to never follow them or hike at night, there is a reason we learned to make teepees in the open fields or an opening in the forest, as kids we never believed them and thought it was just a way to keep us inside but then realizing my uncle took his own life cause he was tired of those "shadows" following him and seeing them myself its all to real. Be careful in the forest if u choose to camp stay in your camp area and dont leave until daylight, biggest thing i learned is to just leave them alone even when they try hard to get your attention. Be safe out there everyone love you all
So it wasn't just my thoughts 🤡
I can verify this! I’m Native American and have heard stories all my life. All our stories have truth to them
There’s so many people that don’t believe this kind of stuff when it’s so true too. I have no way of knowing it is but you get a feeling Fr there’s no way we’re the only ones here especially not in the middle of the woods in the dark
All I can say is, the real scary stuff on the forest are wild animals and bad people lurking around looking for victims.
Kinda sounds like an r/ story about schizophrenia or hallucinations.
as someone who discovered this channel yesterday and began a massive binge of all of his videos, i really appreciate how mr. ballen adds conversions of feet and miles into metres and kilometres because i’m australian and i’m not familiar with feet and miles so it really helps to put things into perspective:)
U can find every single story he tells on the internet told by others before... A million times. Especially Mr David Pallidus
@@aubreyshelton3217 But Mr. Ballen's videos are the best.
Me rn also as an American watching videos made by everyone else I’ll still have to sometimes stop and look up the measurements ToT
@@aubreyshelton3217 You can also prefer every single story being told by Mr. Ballen.
it takes about 25 mins to walk a mile
I appreciate it the fact that you show real photos of the places in the stories when you can. So many storytelling channels just put in generic photos. It really takes your channel to the next level. Keep it up!
I agree.
I'm glad I haven't come across any of those channels. I also see a lot of compliments regarding how respectful John is to the victims compared to other channels, though I can't say I've ever seen anyone on CZcams be anything other than respectful to victims and their loved ones.
@@effaroundfindout John himself is very respectful. Unfortunately a notable chunk of his fans are very bigoted people. They'll say how some of these dead/traumatized victims are stupid and how they "would've never let that slide if they were in their position". I even remember a story where a guy started uncontrollably killing people during a psychotic break, which could've been prevented if at least one of the 5+ people in his life admitted him for psychiatric help. His arm was even ripped to shreds and he couldn't feel it, yet his "fans" said he should receive the death penalty or rot in prison for life.

Me who lives in Arkansas: :0
I live there ...fuck
Why avoid Arkansas?
@@michaelmakinney20 2 stories were from there
As an Arkansas native, I can confirm that there's a lot of weird stuff that happens in the Ozarks and national forest. Our power was out one night, so I walked in the dark to check on the neighbors about a half mile down the road in a very rural area. As I walking back I could hear a voice in dense, thick woods repeating "I'm not crazy". Shined my light and no one was around. Later that night my wife woke me up asking why I was touching her feet. I told her I wasn't. We didn't sleep the rest of the night. Seen and heard a lot of odd things back home.
That's concerning, maybe there's someone living in your closet that likes feet.
Creepy story, Samuel- thanks!
Me, living in arkansas and currently home alone: 👁👄👁
I know this sounds unhealthy...but this story makes me want to move to rural Arkansas!
@@chelleec23 I laughed out loud because me too living in Arkansas, not alone though but definitively rethinking going camping again near the Buffalo River.
Linda: "Hey, you guys! I'm lost and need help!"
Shadowy Forest People: "Holy shit! What the hell is that thing?! It's coming right for us! Quick, hide!"
Linda: "What are you doing? I told you, I need help! I think my brother's hurt!"
Shadowy Forest People: "Why is it screaming at us? Oh God, I'm so scared!"
oh how the turn tables...
The story of Linda and Eddie that I heard was not nearly as "eloquent" as John's version. The story I heard was a lot more sketchy, ridiculous, and comical, like Harold and Kumar on meth. 😆
@@effaroundfindoutyeah, well I think that depends on who tells the story, and the level of respect the people telling them have for these stories. In my opinion
😂😂 Nailed it!
@@effaroundfindout A few of the channels that cover Eddie and Linda's story have played the interview of Eddie. It's pretty clear Eddie was not a reliable witness but it didn't help the interviewer seemed biased that he'd done something to his sister from the start. Idk their reason for being in the woods but the police didn't have concrete evidence to believe Eddie had done anything to his sister.
Just a side note: Beaver Lake is also another freaky place in arkansas. I went to family outings there frequently as a kid and the lake always gave my the heebie jeebies and cried when my now step dad dive down where the drop off was because I had a bad feeling (he was fine). That place has such an eerie feeling to it, close to 100 people have drowned there too and not all the bodies have been found
General word of advice. Never go to ANY park named “Devils Den.”
Its actually a gorgeous area I live 20 minutes away from the swimming area
Do people know why it's called that? Seems an odd name for a beautiful area; there must be a reason. Any local legends?
Been there many times, live in Batesville Arkansas so is further away, but is worth the drive
My grandmother always told me I wasnt allowed to go anywhere with devil in the name not even to the pine barrens in NJ where the Jersey devil legend is 😂 shes a little crazy and superstitious but I'm grateful for her
But that's where my family reunions are......
One time, I drove my car into a sand pit while trying to get out to a camping site deep in the Anza Borrego desert. I worked on getting it free in every way I could think of. This is a vast desert, and as far as I knew, there was not a person anywhere that I could approach for help. After some time had passed, I basically gave up, sat against the car for shade, and prayed a simple prayer, and somewhat sarcastically: "God, I'm told you have millions of angels that work for you. Could I borrow a few?" I was really just being cynical... But in just a few minutes, two men came toward me from the opposite direction I'd been traveling (from deeper into the desert). They were cheerful and made light of the situation, saying something like, "Got her stuck in the sand huh?" And they just walked straight to the back of the car, pushed it out on to hard road again, wished me a good trip, and they went back in the direction they'd come until I was alone again. So yeah... I believe in angels.
That is wild and amazing! So cool!!
Wow!
😇
That's awesome!
nice story but im sorry how can you rule that out as not a coincidence?
the 3rd story is that type of story that gives me chills...
people staring and then running away when discovered... hidding when u approach... group up when u are sleep or not moving... that gives me the creeps!
silhouette figures looking at you and not moving... bbbrrrrr
The story of Linda and Eddie that I heard was not nearly as "eloquent". The story I heard was a lot more sketchy, ridiculous, and comical, like Harold and Kumar on meth. 😆
Maybe they were just deer and she was trippin
Stories like that last one really make me wonder if we aren't just SIMS in a game and other beings are just playing with us.
If that's the case my player sucks 😂
No just many kinds of players
The story of Linda and Eddie that I heard was not nearly as "eloquent". The story I heard was a lot more sketchy, ridiculous, and comical, like Harold and Kumar on meth. 😆
Ah man now I feel even more freaked out
imagine searching for a sweet, little girl in the woods and then you find Katherine coming out of a cave who looks like she smokes 4 packs a day
🤣 I said a grown woman’s meth head on a child’s body
Smoke 4 packs? What an insult shes at a carton a day shhhyyyt :)
🤣
Omg!!! 🤣
I thought that . Rather “ Hard “ looking
Facts yo, that pic of her and her dad is the creepiest shit I’ve seen on this channel. Kid looks like a returning meth addict that had a brake just to smoke some crack
In Brazil, a little indian girl got lost in the Amazon forest for 9 days. She was found in good shape and when people asked how she survived, she said a deer brought fruits for her and protected her.
The deer is sacred for Brazilian indians.
Who knows, maybe a deer was being motherly because she had just lost her babies and found a missing little girl and started feeding her.
There are indians in brazil ? wait what sort of indians ? Naan bread folks or the feather wearing ones ?
@@Lord_ofcinder , yes, there are about 700,000 indians in Brazil, most of them living near the forests.

My grandma is Katherine VanAlst, my daughter found your video and we just listened to it. Her father was not with her and her brothers when they went swimming. She did almost drown and after the lady pulled her out a man shook her to help get the water out. After that she decided to go back to the cabin and from there she got lost. She remembers seeing animals while she walked and then she stopped in what she calls a bluff until Mr Whitely and his crew found her. They called her name and she said she was on top of a hill when they saw her. They made a stretcher out of their shirts and carried her out and then she was taken to the hospital. Feel free respond back if you have any questions, she is still alive and doing well.
She doesn't remember anyone with her? That's so strange. I'm glad she's doing well
You like attention huh
She was gone for 6 days though. What happened those 6 days? What does she say?
Never came back to respond.🫤
@MrBallen did you see this update??
Does anyone Else get really excited about the stories where the people are found alive ? I keep telling myself one of these days someone is going to tell us exactly whats going on !
Its so much better because you actually get a first hand explanation. Even if its nonsense at first. When they're never found the answer is probably eaten by wild animals..
Exactly!
@@Blackdavid2011: Yeah, no. When the missing person is not found it's much easier to say they were eaten by wild animals or fell into a crevasse or something because there isn't any evidence to suggest otherwise.
While people are sometimes eaten by wild animals, I tend to be skeptical of claims that that is what happened unless there is some evidence to back it up, or reliable independent witnesses.
Maybe there not supposed too....@LaShawn Newman
yeah i get so hyped when something new is out! i get less excited when other youtubers take his stories/cases and uses them almost word for word.
Is it just me, or is that photo of Katherine the most creepiest picture of a real person you've ever seen? 8 year old body, 20 year old face, and the way her head is tilted......holy shiiiiii........yeeeeeee. The hair on my neck just stood up.
Thats what I thought, I couldn't place whats wrong with her, but she just doesn't look human.
@@marywade3730 changeling, perhaps?
Demon
I said the same thing up above before I scrolled down. That girl looks deAd. Or like she has no soul. Creepy as fuck
That could have been after the search. 6 days loads of walking no food and should have died? Makes sense
There is a mythical creature here in the Philippines that is said to stalk people alone in the woods and confuse their sense of direction so that they will get lost even more. The elderlies said you just have to wear your shirt inside out or in reverse or go shirtless. For some reason this works. This will make the creature so amused that it will smile so wide it will cover its eyes and you can escape the creature's spell or something and you will eventually go to the right direction and stop being lost.
That doesn't sound right
@@layasnainso3384 story varies on different provinces
Wearing your shirt inside out, seems like I heard that thing somewhere before.
@@markraymondgratil164 from where i come from, our story goes that the reason as to why you should wear your shirt inside out is because as you are undressing, the creature gets aroused and his sight becomes blocked by a massive er*ction and this breaks their spell/curse since they can't see you
@@layasnainso3384what? 😮 Where did that originate from?
From my own experience, I can tell that there are actually a lot of strange noices that can be heard in a forrest, especially when you're alone at night.
I agree. It sounds like the woods come alive at night. And to a degree it does, because lots of species prefer foraging or hunting under the cover of darkness. Also, people hallucinate when they are dehydrated and over tired.
sound carries farther in colder weather, which is why people hear things at night. that's also why "ghost" hunts are only done at night.
@@PCLHH People's minds can definitely mess with them, especially in the dark if they're struggling to see the brain can do weird things. But yeah most animals use the cover of darkness to do their thing forests definitely come alive at night.
Noises are strange when you're a stranger)
I have never heard a strange noise at night backcountry camping in the northeast USA. I did, however, once see a strange light - it looked like the space station (if you have not seen it, it looks like a planet, like a large white star that does not twinkle, but is moving across the sky quickly as it orbits earth) - the only difference was this changed direction more than once and then sped away.
The moral of these stories look 2 miles outside the search zone
It's always be like that with everything I watch when they finally find a body or something.
I mean if you keep adding 2 miles over and over you’ll end up covering the whole earth and this means we gotta find everyone missing this plan is full proof boys let’s go
When the person/body is in the search zone but everyone is 2 miles out because of mr ballen
Yes, START there.
Moral of the story is dont go hiking with lil kids lmao
5:00 Doctors: "Yep she's alright." - Photo: Her looking like straight out of a horror movie.
The father too
Loooool
hahahah maybe in those times that was what alright looked like
I thought I was the only one who thought that lmao!!
This has me rolling 😂
When I was in about 4th or 5th grade, I came across a beat-up paperback copy of Frank Edward's book "Stranger Than Science". There were several stories in this book about people that vanished in the blink of an eye. Between those stories and the ones about people who spontaneously combusted and people who just suddenly defied gravity and just floated up into the air I was totally freaked out but totally hooked on the "Strange and Mysterious". Thank you Mr. Ballen for helping me to continue my journey through weirdness. 😵💫
I remember that book
Linda's story is genuinely horrifying. That's one of my biggest fears
The story of Linda and Eddie that I heard was not nearly as "eloquent". The story I heard was a lot more sketchy, ridiculous, and comical, like Harold and Kumar on meth. 😆
I get way too caught up in the story to ever notice the "secret" that's hidden. Gotta love this guy's story telling that keeps you drawn in all the way from start to finish. It's addictive.

Ngl the second one actually makes me really happy, I’m not one to automatically just believe things like that but if it really was a ghost, i think it’s so sweet that she helped the other girl so she wouldn’t suffer the same fate
that is true. I thought of a ghost right away as he was telling the story

Missing 411 = *portals*
In that last story, I think that Linda passed through some kind of portal into a parallel world. Those people she saw most probably perceived her as some kind of ghost, or apparition, and were obviously just as afraid of her as she was of them. This theory would explain the memory loss, which often happens in these kind of situations.
BINGO ... only logical explanation I can think of
Your on the right path.
Portal i hope this is a joke
@@Gundamfan-ru4dpsome thing wrong with woods
@@Conspiracy1977 lmao tell me that’s sarcasm
First one sounds like she was abducted to me and the person that took her left her in the cave when he heard the rescue team. Would explain why she was well looked after and why she blocked it out.
She is my grandmother, she was not abducted
@@halliedevorss you fr
@@itsnot_mckenna yes, she still has the newspapers from it, her name is no longer van alst since she got married.
@@halliedevorss how does her being your grandmother mean she wasn't abducted? As he said she could have just blocked it out
Sounds like u want it to make more sense than it does. These stories are so strange ,I don't think we understand the natural world around us but we think we do
I genuinely want to believe the sprit of Alana was helping to guide Haley to safety
Hadn't heard that p[articular story before, but once the "imaginary friend" showed up, I knew exactly where it was going... and yet the revelation of the "Alana" story still made the hair on my arms stand up like a startled porcupine....
rather, the guardian angel
No,Not disagreeing just wanted to say no in someone’s comment
If true, its sad that her spirit is wandering the forest 23 years later after missing.
As soon as he described the imaginary friend was a little girl I figured out that it must be a girl who'd died in the forest. So sad what happened to Alana but at least she was able to help another little girl get back to her family.
One does not simply venture into the woods alone after watching mr ballen
hahah
Headed there now!........see ya later...
I hope..........
Or reading David Paulides stories!
@@jonjacobjingleheimerschmid3798 don’t worry you’ll be featured in the next 411 case😂 jk hope you have a good trip man stay safe
@@dedet6900 Or watching his youtube channel.
The second story is a great illustration for parents/grandparents to never threaten children to leave without them
They shoukd have chastized her and made her keep up. This allowing her to be a brat, in the woods, was very foolish and short sighted since she needs to learn now and not in her 30s that people dont care for brats.
Wow, 42 likes
Thank you 😊 💓 ☺️
Yeah. THAT was the cause of the girl going missing. 🙄
I’d say never leave them somewhere unsafe. I agree with Hadrian to a certain extent, but never leave them out of eyesight. Or do what I did. Be a brat? Fine. We’re leaving, we’ll drop you off with somebody, and continue. Or fine, your staying at the house, campsite, whatever, with an adult. Miss out. Then do something super fun or at least act like it. Hailey WAS being a brat. Hiding? She was a very lucky girl. Anytime a kid goes missing for a while and reappears, it makes my hair raise. That actually happened to a friend of mine. Her little girl, maybe 3? 4? Was playing in the front yard with a friend. A perfectly normal, safe neighborhood. Both go missing. Can you imagine? They found them both about a mile away on a busy intersection three hours later. I always wonder what happened. They seemed fine. But…🤷♀️ All I can hope is there truly IS real guardian angels sometimes.
Not in the wilderness. If it’s at the supermarket and they’re being a brat then it’s a whole different story.
Hubby wanted to go hiking. When I said 'no' he asked why? I answered : Mr Ballen
Him: The little girl said her imaginary friend was named Alicia
Me: *sweating* “Oh no.”
Good on ya for helping the girl.

All 3 stories were in Arkansas…
@@muchduck3754 yes. That’s what they implied.
Hey now I grew up and still live here lol. But seriously parts of the Buffalo River gives extreme creep vibes.
I’m Malaysian and in our country we have a folklore about these creatures in the forest called “Orang Bunian” where their features appears to look exactly like human and some are very beautiful, there are many stories about how they hid people in the woods and some even marrying with them and never to be found again.
I miss these 411 stories. Can you do more of these please?
David P of Missing 411 got jealous because John apperantly makes more money than he does with his content in Videos. I stopped watching Canam missing videos because 90 percent of the video of David talking is fanmail...
@@Clarity95Are you serious?! Wow. I stopped watching Dave's channel too because of the fan mail readings. It's just BORING. That's unfortunate.
@@cfoster6804 Yeah it's pretty sad, if John wants to do anymore he has to go through David's "team" to get it approved.
The fan mail is cringe, and the way he talks about cases is the same ones repeated because he wants you to buy his book. Just poor representation of a phenomenon acting like he has a patent on human experiences.
Pretty sure he's done them all 😆
Based on how many people get found "way outside of the search area", might I suggest expanding whatever the standard size of an initial search area is?
agreed
I know.That would make sense.
Aliens obviously won’t care about your search cordons...
But then they'd be found farther out of the new search area. Because that seems to be the pattern
@@mdragarg true......maybe they just arent reallt looking that well....I mean look at the shit with finding Brian L. at the entrance of that park. lol. Is THAT what they mean when they say it was "out of their search area"....Basically they just didnt find them.

This video just earned my subscription. I've been all over Arkansas, on motorcycle and hiking trips. Two of these places, I've walked. Very eerie places to be, especially by yourself in the woods.
Y'all... I don't know about anyone else, but Catherine might be the creepiest looking kid I've ever seen in my entire life.
For someone who's apparently fine she looks pretty much dead.
Yup👍🙉
Yes, she almost looks like an alien..
Her father wasn’t exactly George Clooney neither lmao. I mean don’t hate the lil girl look at what she had to work with. Genetics were not in her favor.
Joanna Flowers You are absolutely right, damn!
With the kid that disappeared in the woods... don't know if it's because i grew up in NYC, but you NEVER allow a child to walk behind you. Folks still do it all the time, but NOPE!... at a certain age, you're holding my hand while we're in the street, or ahead of me so i can always keep an eye on you.
Well, when you are hiking in the woods with group, most experienced go first and last, and if there is only one grown man, he goes first, cause its harder to go first, when u are in woods.
@@andreykotovsky well , they should go with minimum 2 grown ups then
@@rocketmanfossel1174 They did, two not so elderly grandparents. But yeah, they should have had her in the middle between them. Its usually the weak or little that get picked off by apex predators and usually its the last one. Since this is arkansas, there are several... wolves, coyotes, bears and Mountain Lions.
Thank you !!!!! Idk wtf is wrong with people I e heard to many stories and all it takes is a minute if even that
My parents used to let me go to the park the store and my cousins house when I was 6 and 7 😂
I found this channel yrs ago. I hadn’t seen videos in such a long time. I’m binge watching everything 😩😩😩 I’m obsessed with these stories. I’ve been watching them all since yesterday
OMG, the last story is SO TERRIFYING!! & I LOVE it so much, i return again &again just to hear the part about the "people" Linda saw...(chills)..Love it!!!
It's so weird, it's almost like there are two different groups involved with these missing persons cases. One that protects and one that kills.
There are...
It sure does seem like that. Its so hard for me to wrap my head around some of these cases. Like a child found a week later, not scared, she looks like someone or something has taken care of her, fed her...like what the hell? And there are so many cases like this. Strange....
I agree. Seems like those two main groups are Squatch and the Fae.
@@lucasreeserlarkin8996 what is that, can you explain please.
@@TheHattaru if you're asking about the fae, it's a blanket term for nature spirits of pre christian european folklore. A very wide category encompassing benevolent, malevolent, and neutral entities.
Many missing 411 cases have hallmarks similar to the folklore of fae kidnappings
Why do I feel like the first girl got abducted and drugged so she wouldn’t remember what happened because 6 days of lost memory is very strange and she survived by herself it’s very suspicious in literally every way
Not too sure about the drugged part. Abducted is a maybe.
@@carc_779 I’m curious, why do you not think the drugged thing?
@@skipperf4057 8 years old correct?
Agreed, drugged or not still very sus
@@carc_779 I cannot remember off the top of my head, if you are referring to her then yes, probably around that age
I grew up in Great Falls MT, a small city of 60,000 people and lived there until I was about 17 when our fam moved up into NW Montanas Flathead valley named for the huge flathead lake(not far from glacier nat. park) which is surrounded by thick woods for hundreds of miles. Ive been camping a bunch of times before we moved here but very few times in such dense and expansive forests. Ive been lost in the woods out here a couple times and i can tell you, panic is ALWAYS at the back of your throat no matter how much you tell yourself to stay calm. Especially once the sun goes down and even more so when youre alone. Your rational thinking just goes straight out the window and is replaced with nothing but blind fear that just builds and builds, i can def see people just cracking up under that much stress. That little voice in the back of your head that keeps repeating, "youre going to die out here"
On my archipelago there are also restrictions concerning the forests our parents forbade us from entering the woods alone, we had to be accompanied by adults.
Since childhood, I have a memory that has stayed in my head is that of the voices that I heard and which came from the forest of our small town.
I had told my father he believed me then reassured me by telling me not to be afraid because his voices have not been part of our world for years.
Thank you for this video Mr Ballen.
Who else was freaked out by the little girls photo. Looked creepy.
Dame here not to be rude she looked like she came out of a horror movie
Weird looking girl and guy!
She looked like an alien with a wig on. Very creepy.
Rightttt I was like okay they look very disturbed especially the little girl😳
Just imagine her coming out of a cave and calmly saying "here I am" Gives me chills
The last story honestly sounds like extreme mental stress and sleep deprivation. I've been seeing these shadowy creatures too, after being awake a couple days. And that was at about 10pm on the sidewalk, not even a forest. Always feeling that someones watching, just hallucinating and paranoid. In a situation that is already scary, where you're super exhausted on top, plus dehydration and whatnot... you're almost guaranteed to see things, especially alone in the forest for days.
That's methed up
The drug induced shadow people.
Hypothermia can cause confusion etc. I didn’t know this before I looked it up but it really doesn’t even need to be that cold and anyone regardless of age and fitness level can develop hypothermia.
@@lotstodo Amphetamines my friend. 3 days on edge, and you just see your ancestors being all shadowy and shit
Nah, Eddie and Linda just to having good time with drugs.
My body has a violent reaction anytime I listen to these stories and the creatures that peer out from behind trees are mentioned. Gooseflesh and chills and literal tears come to my eyes and my throat tightens up. I don't know why it affects me so badly, because I love these types of stories and that's the only thing that makes me feel that way.
I have the same reaction to scary stories. I've never told anyone, and this is the first time I've heard of someone else having it.
@@fisherri1961 I wonder what in the world causes it?
@@KPJindrich I wish I knew...
It's your survival instincts kicking in. Your brain gets info on a visceral human threat and starts getting ready to fight/flight
Like a genetically ingrained memory of what happens when we don't gtfo of there
It really is how you deliver the story brother. A good bit of your stuff I've heard of but enjoyed hearing it from you in much better context.
That Linda story is creepy.
Just imagine seeing a group of things staring at you. When you get closer and they just hide. Quickly. Idk what but imaging that creeped the hell out of me.
Straight up aliens. Im not crazy but literally nothing else would make sense.

@@cherryfaith4877 Agreed!
Thank you Mr. Ballen to a shoutout to David Paulides!! His work is crucial when investigating missing cases!
In 1973 my sister and I were swept out to sea in a riptide. We were so far iut we could barely see the shore. I was 7 and my sister was 10. We were preparing to die. We prayed and prayed to be saved. Suddenly out of nowhere a lady popped up out of the water and smiled. She never spoke,just smiled. She swam us back to shore then DISAPPEARED IN FRONT OF OUR EYES. We never told anyone cause our parents would have whipped us. No idea why they would let us catch a bus to the beach alone. We actually saw our guardian angel ❤
That story is just shocking, truly shows miracles can happen ❤
I was once pushed into the deep end of a pool about 4 years old, I couldn't swim and could just feel myself drowning, I saw something that looked like a person made out of light help push me up and they smiled at me, that was when I got pulled out and coughed up the water
Bear Grills really went quiet after Catherine survived in the woods for 6 days with only a bathing suit on.
She probably survived by drinking pee and eating bat.
@@ralcogaming7674 oh yes bc this 8 year old just had a cup to hold her pee to drink. And the ability to catch BATS and eat them. You figured it out ralco

@@TheNEPTY the program is of course but I think he did all of those things irl when he was younger
Hey, Devil’s Den! When I was 7, my family and I were on a trail there. I had to poop and couldn’t hold it so I skulked into the woods and pinched a loaf. Having no toilet paper, I scrounged around and found some green leaves to wipe with. Turns out, it was poison ivy. That was a miserable couple of weeks...
I can't believe no one has commented about what a funny story this is. You made me spit out my coffee. Well done.
Leaves of 3, let them be 😬 sorry I was soo late
LOL
You could have asked Alisia .
omg 😂😂😂
glad you recovered.
I feel like I'm the only one, but everytime someone in these scary videos like his say "But at least someone, or something...", my heart and stomach sink. I've never heard anyone else saying the same thing, but this is just my experience.
Me too 🥺
What do you mean? Like do u have a quote from the video
@@HelloThisIsAva I do now, czcams.com/video/CgHVifwshdc/video.html, this video from Nuke'sTop5 at 17:29 he's says it.

This one is about Mr. Ballen, but it's from another channel that does videos of his for an hour.
This Is called "fear"
No need to thank me
Number 1 just terrifies me! I grew up in Arkansas in the woods. I would sleepwalk deep into the woods at night as a small child, and then I would show up the next morning awake like nothing happened. I didn't even find that out til I was a teenager.
Soooo people VOLUNTARILY visit a place called Devil's Den...
crazy people out there
It's romantic.
There’s a very good book written by Terry Lovelace an attorney and former Air Force vet who states he along with his friend another Air Force member were abducted by aliens there and put through Hell by Air Force Security investigators. “Incident at Devil’s Den”
I live in Arkansas and have visited Devil's Den many times. It's a beautiful park with lots of CCC work that was done in the 30's. There is a trail that goes to an old still where a cave has been walled up. I've also hiked to Hawksbill Crag, and you can walk down to that little waterfall without going down that tree. I've done it.
I know that here in the UK anywhere rural that has a big cave or natural pothole, might look a little spooky or or even has some old fantastical legend attached is called the Devil's this or that. I doubt it's that different in the US.
I don’t know why I watch these before bed..... it’s not that smart
Not smart but brave
Same
Man shit ain't scary
Literally me right now.
Lol littery that's what I'm doing
Linda and Eddie were dehydrated and stressed, that resulted in hallucinations. I went through something similar several years ago. My wife has a voice mail from me that I don't even remember sending her. She said it doesn't even sound like me. I refused to even listen to it. I have vivid memories of having conversations with specific people that I never spoke to. I saw things that were absolutely nuts!
her description of the figures (shadowy/not having clear faces/repeatedly disappearing or becoming obscured from view) is very typical of hallucinations, they were 100% tripping on something
Sleep deprivation will make you see things. I once took and Army course where they took away your food and gave you missions that ensured you could not possibly complete them without skipping sleep. It was a powerful, life-changing course. But hallucinations became common as we starved and were pushed beyond our endurance in a totally sleep=deprived state. It could have happened to them. Of it could have been meth. Rural AR is full of it and people aren't going to admit they went to the woods to smoke meth if they disappear and then have to give an account for their whereabouts.
It's just crazy to me that so much strange stuff happens in the woods. I've never seen anything but woods in the woods. One time in my early 20's my one friend and I took a pretty high dose of acid in the woods and we were sitting on a log just looking at everything, then it started to rain, we could hear and see the rain but we were not getting wet, everything around us was though. We weren't even right up against a tree, and the tree cover wasn't super dense, but maybe a 10ft radius around us just wasn't getting wet despite moderate rainfall. Then as soon as we got up and walked outside of that little 10ft radius it absolutely poured and we got soaked. There was also a flock of about 100 birds following us the entire way back to the car which was a few miles. That's the strangest woods experience I ever had.
I mean unless it’s because of the acid that’s a pretty weird experience
@@dudenotperfect9383 It was weird. It was enough acid to make normal things dance, swirl, and have obviously hallucinatory face-like structures from time to time, but not enough to make things that weren't truly there appear out of nowhere. My friend and I both saw the birds, I remember asking him to make sure it wasn't just me. We would walk for a little while, and then look up, and this huge flock of birds would just be trailing behind us in the sky. I guessed maybe they were starting their journey south for the winter or something and were just flying the same way we were walking. I have no idea if we were actually heading south the whole time, but that's my best guess.
@@dudenotperfect9383 But my main point is, there wasn't anything there that wasn't supposed to be there like in the other stories. Sure the birds were acting a little weird that day, but birds belong in the woods. The rain thing was weird but I chalked that up to the fact that things are just weird when you take acid 🤷♂️
@@amanitaocreata4401 your just high
@@chougaming5137 I haven't taken acid in many many years. My first experience was seeing rain without a cloud in the sky . I knew I was hallucinating,but it looked so real.
Spooky but it is always happy when you find a missing person of any age alive
Yes it's nice to have a happy yet confusing ending.
"as the crow flies" i love that expression to describe the distance traveled if unimpeded
Same here. I immediately decided to hang on to that one when I heard it
yes, very interesting because it’s true.( i love the “old sayings”) this was the first time i had been told of the saying. very interesting
Its more so on flat,even ground than "unimpeded." Meh, to each thier own. ;)
You people have all been living under rocks to have never heard that saying before. It's extremely common.
Between you me and the fence post I love that expression too!
I’ve lived in Arkansas for 20 years and I’ve never heard of this stuff. That’s wild. It’s crazy to hear about these 411s from my state
I live near devils den, there are not alot of people that go "missing" around here. So this was a surprising story to hear. I have also hiked Whitaker point as a child many times. These stories are so crazy to me because I grew up going to these trails and visiting all of these locations. now I bring my kids.
MrBallen is the hero we didn’t deserve but we got.
Thats smart haha
Cant agree more
Yes
Don't get me wrong, I like mrballen. However Jesus Chist is the hero we don't deserve
I am.....Batman.
In American folklore, those things that were hiding behind the trees and poking their heads out are called "hide-behinds." I don't think you're supposed to go near them. They can trick you into venturing deeper into the woods so that you're never found 😬
Dead ass
That’s very interesting thanks. After hearing a lot of these stories, especially the ones with kids, a significant number of them describe cows/animals/people/creatures that are peeping behind trees at them. One boy said they looked like cows and he was afraid of them but they didn’t hurt him
As a Native American I would go beat the hell out of the other folklore, if it was me.
Like honestly if I’m going to die it’s going to be legend and I’m bring those creepy things with me. Then I’ll come back in spirit form to continue to beat the hell out of them.
Yup!
It's interesting. Because in south-americas, specifically in the Amazon you have similar stories. However, the indigenous people call them forest spirits, forest guardians, or simply the jungle (some tribes see it as one single living thing). Those tend to trick you too to venture deep in the forest. I personally heard the weirdest stories from them. I work with indigenous communities. From children to entire families getting lost because of the enchantments of the forest spirits (some do come back after months) to mermaids in the Amazon river that trick men into drowning, and much much more. It's crazy that is an international thing too
I binge your videos every single day while I work. Your story telling is absolutely mesmerizing.
Thought I was the only one
@@Onepieceistheworstfuckinganime he has like 7 million subs lmao why would u think u were the only one
I’m from Buffalo, NY. I have since moved to Florida but I want to share something, when I was in early elementary school there was a snowy forest right behind the school and one of the boys dared a kid to go in that forest, I never saw that kid again.
When I was 10 years old I was crossing a slimy rock branch of a river in Sedona, AZ. It is not possible to get footing on wet mossy rocks. Didn't know that. I started sliding toward a waterfall. The waterfall was not a graceful flow of water, but a nest of downed trees and branches protruding outward. Even at that young age, feeling immortal and beyond any reach of harm, I knew my life was in danger in that moment. I frequently played by and in the river during that summer. No one was ever around. It was near a retirement community of mostly elderly who stayed inside. I'm on all four at this point, hands sliding, feet sliding, ready to go over the edge sideways. A strong hand reaches in and effortlessly pulls me from the water. I felt such relief and thought, "That was my grandpa who just saved me." He was a fire fighter and this is what he does. I stood on the sandy shore, looked up, nobody was there. I didn't think anything of it at the time. Just an ignorant boy. Years later I realize this world has protective forces that do not require our belief to exist. Mr Ballen's stories remind me that some people have very powerful protective forces while others do not. This does not require our understanding to be real.
What a beautiful memory! You're blessed to have been looked after like that, and blessed to be able to still recall everything that happened so vividly! I love it!
I have a similar story. When I was a young mother, back in 1996, I took my children on a picnic in Pacific Grove, CA where we were living at the time. We climbed down the rocky cliff to the little beach below (about 15-20 feet down). It was an easy climb down and back up. My little boys were ahead of me as I held their baby sister on my hip and carried our tote bag. The boys got back up to the top before me, and just as I was nearing the top myself, my foot slipped out of my flip flop and I fell backwards. It all happened so fast that I don't think anyone noticed. But as I fell backwards, I fell past the point where you can catch yourself and stand up, and I immediately knew my daughter and I were going to die. Suddenly I felt a really heavy pressure or force on my back push me and we landed up on top of the cliff. I didn't walk. I didn't do anything, but there I was, standing on top of the cliff on my feet. My first thought was, I didn't do that. It's really hard to describe the feeling of pressure against my back. I couldn't feel anything touch me. I could only feel an incredible force of pressure pushing me. I have no idea why, and I'll never know. Why were we spared in that moment when so many others die? I've stopped trying to understand why. I'm just thankful to be alive.
@@littlehomeinthevalley Protective Forces. Thank you for sharing. It seems sometimes we dismiss things that have no explanation or otherwise have a tendency to think "Not sure if that really just happened." It is not explainable.
@@fightswithspirits915 Yes, sometimes, but definitely not then. Others have tried giving me scientific explanations, and none work for me. The action was very purposeful. My daughter and I were delivered to the top of the cliff. And while I definitely acknowledge our lives were spared that day, I cannot to this day answer "why". I guess I won't know until I meet God.
BAHAHAHA! Dear God what an imagination! Ummm Bull$hit!
In some of his stories he mentions how the people who get lost don’t remember anything afterwards. I feel like that is happening to me while watching his videos. At one moment I discover his channel, the next moment I’m already 20 videos in. This is some spooky stuff 😶

Happy & Safe New Year to you friend.
Also to you! And I am in agreement with you about covid!
I hope your positivity is contagious friend
Covid never begin... at least not as well as they had hoped it would. With a 98-99% survival rate and many people growing more and more agitated about being locked down and/or unable to open their businesses SOOOO... this just will not do for the globalist agendas who need us all scared (which is the real reason for the masks that do NOTHING to keep you from getting sick). Covid-23 will be an even more "deadly" strain but don't fall for these deep state tricksters crap. We are of intelligent design and haven't even come close to unlocking our full potential. We were NO accident and God had provided everything we shall ever need to stay healthy and fit. I'm not saying Covid is not real, I'm simply stating its not the black plague, its not a death sentence... there are many worse illnesses. We get sick when we are not getting all the nutes we need, macro and micro along with trace minerals. If our bodies become deficient in any of these minerals, etc... we become acceptable to illnesses, sometime serious things like cancer. Health is not as complicated as its been made to seem. By testing our stool samples and having blood work done we can determine if we are deficient in anything our bodies need. If found soon enough we can remedy the deficiency and live healthy lives. Genetics play a part as well and by studying illnesses of other family members we can address these issues before they manifest. Lastly, cloth masks and the disposable blue/white masks do very little to protect us if they help at all. I dont necessarily recommend doing this test as I assume there is another safer way to get similar results but this is how i figured out the masks are bullshit. Dont believe me... put 1 on, grab a can of spray paint and start spraying. After a nice cloud has formed wait a couple min and then go check your nose. You will have large paint particles many times larger than a tiny microscopic germ will be in your nose. Hopefully someone will post a safer way for people to do this test. I would recommend you purchase a respirator with the N95 rating. These masks conform to your face better, are designed better and have disposable cartridges so be sure to buy some refills. I didnt say they were an attractive option as these are way bigger and cover your entire face. If you try the paint test with 1 of these you will be happy to see that they keep spray paint, other aerosols and all but the most tiniest particles from entering your airways.

I love your videos. Great storytelling , as well as interesting stories. Took me off guard that you had 2 Arkansas stories in one video. I’m from Arkansas. It’s such a small place compared to the rest of the world, but it seems to have a lot of stories connected to it
I live in Arkansas and I can tell you getting lost in the mountainous woods of Arkansas is terrifying, because it happened to me, but it was only for a few hours. It was at the Petit Jean state park, probably the reason why I got lost was I have NVLD which causes poor sense of direction.
Last story of those people hiding from Linda scared the fuck out of me
That sounds like a faerie encounter...
Most of the stories seem like the missing are protected by something (Bigfoot) in the woods, but these sound more like alien funny business especially that last one. Super creepy!!
@@DogofSinope Lmao why tf are “faeries” so popular these last few weeks? all of a sudden i started seeing them mentioned in nearly every youtube comment lol
truly horrifying. if that happened to me, and im not joking, my life would be ruined forever. lmfao like there’s a 0% chance my brain could ever bounce back after seeing things like that, even if they weren’t real. I would be damaged until death lollllw
They were probably as confused and freaked out over seeing her as she was over seeing them. Maybe they were just curious?
It’s like these parks are attached to portals to different dimensions.
You know, thats a possibility. Theres a LOT of weird shit that goes on down here in these southern woods. I grew up in them, i wont go back by myself and without protections. Things i cant explain, weird ritual stuff too. Then you look at what the Imperial College of London is studying "long term DMT exposure"... where they are trying to figure out why people that go past the veil see approximately the same thing that involve creatures and say that the other world is more familiar to them than this one. Its fucking weird and their research is just getting started. They started studying this because... well... when lots and lots of people say approx. the same thing with no contact with each other, it makes one believe that it could be real... If you trip DMT and go into some place like "the upside down" from that one show, then its highly possible that all this weird paranormal stuff is just people with a flicker of DMT production for whatever reason shifting them to where they can see the "other world" and getting lost or confused and then ending up somewhere else and having literally no idea how they got there.
That's what i was about to write! Maybe the "shadowy people" are the portal keepers? And going into the portal, it transports you what seems like instantly, but real time, hours and days pass for you to transport there and back.
Or an exit to the matrix, if you believe in that. And those shadow people are "designers" or "technicians" of the matrix, reinserting the people who accidentally exited.
Or magic mushrooms?🤷😅
@@Kiba69420 exactly how does one in North America accidentally get exposed to DMT? A psychedelic drug from the combination of Banisteriopsis caapi and Psychotria viridis, two plants native to South America. I’m curious.
@@jjlnguess7354 Simple google searches would answer your question, honestly... Big research groups are trying to figure out where it comes from in the human body, but theres thought that it is formed on certain synapses, likely in the pineal gland.. Or something like that.
I just woke up and im not entirely sure because science is still trying to understand DMT. But uh, our body produces it and its in most things organic. Trees, plants, animals...
It's likely someone just grabbed them and then left them once they realized the searches weren't stopping and it was too much trouble.
The reason people get lost in forests is because most have an awful sense of direction. and the terrain in forests looks very similar all around.
I think with the brother and sister, that there are rare gas pockets or low oxygen pockets that can form in certain areas. I think a lot of unexplained deaths are caused by this. Gas escaping the ground, stuff like that. Some sort of slow toxic gas release in the area would explain why they both lost their memories and why the sister had such intense hallucinations.
Since watching Mr. Ballen, even the three pine trees in my backyard terrify me.
Olesya means "girl from the forest" in Russian, in this case the name really fits. I hope her spirit is happy, she must have had some fun finally having another little girl around. So glad she kept her safe.
well that just adds another layer to the cake, but explains the name change.

@@ladycountess2972 RezTKF's alt right here
The only logical explanation is that someone at the camp took her and probably drug her. Possibly did nefarious things, then left her.
The point of traumatic experiences where they forget is to forget, so no they would just remember before then after nothing that caused it.
@gabriel gervais well even strangest or/and most All Odds Against happens so many times a day it's not super natural but an oddity that creates the hard to explain. It's not uncommon for anyone with adrenalin pumping to travel incredible distances and with lack of memories trauma tends to coincide with adrenaline.
@gabriel gervais agreed
This is the first MrBallen video I’ve watched. I could tell he’s from Massachusetts just by listening to him! Awesome
Story 1 and 3 are both enchants. Trees so old they became sentient. The 2nd story is about a soul still lost in that forest. In my country, it happens too and old people here know too well about them. Which is why they know how to counter, repel or avoid them.
“Trees so old they become sentient” is one of the truest statements that hardly anyone would believe or CAN believe. People just can’t wrap their minds around things that seem so unrealistic. I always tell my kids that there is always truth in any fiction and to always believe the seemingly unbelievable.
Wow that “trees so old they become sentient”… I’ve never heard of that but that line alone has me INTRIGUED AF and I’m definitely going to be researching that
@@Denahomchikn i know that there are trees that walk
@@Denahomchikn well, realistically, it's implausible to determine that there is only one form of consciousness. Does make me think of a cartoon show though that had hallucinogenic moss
@@nathanielbass771 no. Consciousness has a specific meaning. It either is or isn't, there aren't different kinds, that wouldn't mean anything.
It's like sound: it may have different frequencies but it's all shock waves in air, or it's not sound.
I’ve never seen the secret I’m too focused on the stories and feeling like I’m a part of the story. He’s the best story teller!
Omg girl if u like scary stories check out RezTKF his stories are legit scary af n his voice is perfect for horror narration 🔥🔥💯
Same here haha
I never have either!
I haven't either, and don't mind it. He's that good.
Heck yeah, I gave up a long time ago
Ok, if you're ever walking in the remote wilderness (not recommended) and a small girl comes walking out of a cave and casually says:
"here i am"
...run the f away.
Yeah, thats all my nopes. I grew up in the woods here in the south and... i dont go in the woods anymore by myself. I used to, but then i started seeing weird shit. Big hyena looking dog things, lights, otherworldly noises... just nope. The south has a lot of really weird stuff that nobody talks about. Plenty of people go in the woods for hunting, plenty of people have really fucked up stories to tell... but they dont make big deals out of them... for whatever reason. Mostly because "crazy southern people", most likely anyway.
Theres a lot of UFO activity down here, theres a lot of possible cryptid activity down here... paranormal. Had a friend that went on to be a youth group director a few years later talk about taking his fiance to her parents house out in the backwoods. They went down this dirt road, the wrong one... and for whatever reason they stopped the car. She got out and walked down the road a little ways stopped for a few min just standing there and so he went and walked up to her. He said they both stood there for a moment and then he saw the trees and everything covered in blood and that there was an ear piercing noise. He said he grabbed her hand and jerked her running back to the car. They both got in and left in a hurry and that was that. For someone that was super christian, thats a really strange story to tell. Theres surely more to it that i have forgotten, its been nearly 20 years.
But yeah, the southern woods are a huge nope. Do not go in them by yourself, or at least unarmed. If you are hunting with a rifle or shotgun, have a sidearm and two forms of communication as well. The woods are deep and the nights are long.
Forreal but they were searching for her otherwise tho I was out of there
@@Kiba69420 bruh, u sound like some old man in a northern inn from game of thrones or witcher 3
@Poppa Perc Thats exactly why we dont talk about this kind of stuff lol.
@@ykshay lol thats pretty funny i guess.
