Yeah I was like that's stupid then at the exact same moment my mind flashed with them being distraught. Then having their child go missing to not even have his body found no closure. Forever wondering where is my baby boy is he alive is he ok is he afraid can he ever come back home. Probably dying still wondering where is my child which just breaks my heart. I think about my son and what I would do to someone or something that ever took my boy. The endless obsession of trying to discover where he is or what happened.

Storytelling like this is a lost art - I NEVER thought I could listen to someone tell a story for 15 to 30 minutes and KEEP my attention - yet I have watched LOTS of videos for the last SEVERAL WEEKS and have enjoyed EVERY one of them !?!?! What a pleasant surprise that I am actually enjoying a lost art - excellent work , Mr. Ballen - bravo !!

Why do you think it's a lost art, out of curiosity? Storytelling is a near-daily part of my job, to be honest, and it's something I've worked to improve and expand over the last twelve years. I only discovered MrBallen's channel a couple weeks ago, but it's made me think I should start a YT channel of my own. I love telling stories; I also love writing them, though I wouldn't presume to put my own work into the sorts of storytelling videos I have considered creating. Public storytelling--especially of MrBallen's level of quality--is a serious rarity, I'll grant, but that's about changes in socialization styles, the ubiquity of screens and the internet, the decrease in the number of close friends the average person has, the decreased time people spend with their families, and a lack of community bonds (possible a lack of serviceable venues...like neighborhood pubs, eg.) Thankfully, YT is catalyzing a spoken-word revolution the same way Gutenberg catalyzed a written-word revolution.

In Germany, they mostly don't even accept a missing child report if the kid is a teenager. When my eldest son was gone when only 11 years old, the police automatically supposed he had run off because of some quarrel at home. They also asked me whether my son was somehow disabled, because then they would have searched. Only after I threatened them to report their passivity when an 11 year old child goes missing, and that I would inform media right away also, did they slooowly move on to have two cops actively search for my son.

A story that mirrors Brandons: Years ago I had my drink spiked. I was a few hundred miles away from home. I was walking in a field, seeing lights ahead of me and in my mind I was walking towards a place back home. Visually it was that place. I called my parents and they were so convinced I was at this location they were out looking for me. I was pleading at one point - asking why they weren't picking me up. Of course - I was walking in a field and later a village several hundred miles away. I don't know what I was spiked with but it was weird. Had something happened to me, like Brandon, the police would have been looking back home and NOT at the other end of the country. They would have said 'he sounded sobre' on the phone. scary.

How in the world has this comment not gained more attention? This sounds almost exactly like Brandon’s and is very disturbing and puzzling. I feel like if someone could figure out what you were spiked with, it might solve Brandon’s case. He probably was spiked with the same thing, didn’t realize it and didn’t feel he was spiked at all, and his story went into mysterious legend. And, most likely, it would seem like the lights might have just been something emitting light from somewhere that seemed much more stronger because of you all be spiked and in your case, you survived, but in Brandon’s, it was probably a car hit him and whoever did, probably just hide it up so well that it looked like he just disappeared for good. I mean, like another comment on here said, saying “oh s**t” is the type of thing that someone would say if they were hit by a car.

I've had my drinks spiked on 3 occasions, I've never remotely appeared anything close to sober. I'm 52 now and don't go out anymore, but I find it hard to believe anyone could sound sober, although I suppose it would depend what your drin ws spiked with, but in all cases I was more out of it, as confirmed by friend, than I ever recall I was with being drunk. Those around you may have a different recollection of your appearance than you did 😉

⁠​⁠@@sherilumley5498Different people can have wildly different reactions to substances, including sedatives, and when you factor in dosage, tolerance, any other substances in their body (ie: alcohol), not to mention the 100’s-1000’s of different drugs that could be used to spike someone’s food/drink, the results will vary dramatically. People report blacking out on benzodiazepines and hypnotics, making extremely rash decisions like driving across country or buying 10,000 pounds of chocolate on the internet, only to “wake up” two days later to find that nobody in their life had any idea they were under the influence of anything. I’m sorry to hear about your experiences with being drugged, but glad your friends were able to recognize the signs due to your reactions. That isn’t an indicator of what someone else’s experience might be though.

The strangest thing about Brandon's case to me is he gave his parents directions to "where he was", how could he have done that if he was nowhere in the area? The idea that he could have been so disoriented that he had completely gone the wrong direction but at the same time had the certainity and clarity to relay proper directions to where he thought he was is baffling. And then the fact that they never even found his car.

I think its a simple case of Brandon thinking he knows where he is but he is actually lost without realising it. Gave the correct directions, just to the wrong place. Left his car, either ran into someone or something in the road or simply fell in a ditch whilst walking towards some random lights he sees.

I think too it’s a tragic accident. Maybe he tried to reach those lights, started running in the dark in a field and fell into something. He was heard saying “oh shit” that would make sense. My grand father told me how he once almost got “swallowed” by a large unnoticeable patch of mud while walking in a field. He told me if his brother had not been here to help him, he would have disappeared in the ground buried in that mud and no one would never have guessed what happened to him. My dad is a farmer and also have a couple of stories about rescuing cows or sheeps getting half buried in mud. Clear water gives back bodies but heavy mud wouldn’t, after it get dry you can stay in there forever.

The second story sounds like he had a psychotic break, I’ve read about these things happening - people appear completely normal, live life normally, then one day just ran away and disappear. There’s a story about a girl whom her parents said she was acting completely normal then disappeared one day only to be discovered years later still wearing the same clothes she left in (all tattered and beaten up ofc) and later they found out she had late stage schizophrenia and lived on the street and forests the whole time she was gone. I’m wondering if that happened to him and maybe he was just never found again. The psych book opened up may explain he was trying to look up his own symptoms but as he was reading his schizophrenia really kicked in and he ran away. Marilyn Monroe and her own mother suffered from the same condition and both were late stage too not showing signs until late into adulthood

I was thinking that but who put the fish in his bed? Either he did it to himself and didn’t remember or someone was messing with him. I wonder if someone was cruelly “pranking” him making him doubt his sanity/safety to the point that he ran away and didn’t look back. He was in college and a frat guy after all, I wonder if it was some sort of hazing gone wrong. I also thought it was interesting he lived in “fisher hall” and there was a dead fish. And the hall used to be an insane asylum. I feel like either he was influenced and triggered by those facts or someone was messing with him due to those circumstances.

It'll keep haunting me and thinking about what the hell on earth, Brandon Swanson saw during his last moments. What only I can say is that Brandon didn't screamed in horror but only said "Oh, Sh*t !" in distress which means the thing was no alien (at least for him) he knew it and just wasn't expecting it to be there and at the same time knew the encounter is fatal ! Stay in peace Brandon (wherever you are ?) 🥶🙏

If he died inside the ugly tuna, I'm thinking he was carried out in trash bags... a bar employee carrying trash bags out of the bar and towards the dumpsters past closing time wouldn't raise too many suspicion. Maybe the bartender or one of the other staff was secretly a serial killer or psychopath, and ended up befriending him, invited him to a private or staff-only area without witnesses or cameras asked him to stay and talk past closing time, maybe offered some free drinks, then attacked him once everyone else had left.

I love the channel Fascinating Horror, but I've watched it all, and after trying to find another high-quality channel on darker stuff, the ones that I found were okay but not great or were just inconsistent in quality (Thoughty2 and Plainly Difficult). I think I finally found the new content I was looking for! This episode and the last one on awful deaths were super sad...but I guess I feel like it's important to know about these things because these people shouldn't be forgotten. I really hope we solve at least some of these 3 men's disappearances someday. Anyway, not sure if you'll see this, but you earned a new subscriber!

For some reason he said that he either couldn’t or wouldn’t do anymore videos on the Missing 411 anymore. I believe if I’m not mistaken it was something about people felt that he was trying to make gain off of other people’s misery and misfortune or something like that. Idk if that’s true or not because I saw someone else say that, but he said so himself that he wasn’t going to do any 411 videos anymore sadly. But he said that he is going to do some videos just like those though.

I've studied the Brandon Swanson story a fair amount. His dad, who was" on the phone with him, said that it sounded like he fell when he said "oh shit", but the phone didn't disconnect, Brandon just wasn't on the line anymore. Also, he always took the main roads to travel, but this time he took the backroads, and likely just got himself lost, which is why he didn't know where he was. He's probably in a hole somewhere, some random old well or something. And it sounds like Ronald Tammen had a psychotic break. He'll reappear somewhere in a mental hospital when he regains his memory.

I was spending a lot of time on Campus around the same time he went missing. Some people believe his body is somewhere in the area of the construction at the time. Some say he just took off and is living another life. Either way it is really sad. I hope his friends and family are able to figure out what happened. It seems like many people have gone missing on OSU's campus but he is the only that hasn't been found.

In the 1950s amphetamines were rampant. In regards to the second story, my gut tells me Ronald had been using amphetamines and not sleeping, which in as little as 3 days (2 sleepless nights) can cause psychosis. This means he'd hear people talking ABOUT him (not to him) and he'd be extremely paranoid already, but once the voices from psychosis start paranoia turns to extreme panic, hence him running 12 miles and talking to a woman, while he was incredibly scared.

What I took away from Brandon Swanson's story is stay with the car. Not very exciting, but just get comfortable until the sun comes up. Even though the time of year was mild, it's a good idea to always have at least a jug of water and a blanket (along with a first aid kit) in your car. Since I have bouts of hypoglycemia from time to time, albeit rarely, I'll keep little nonperishable snacks. Things happen in broad daylight too, but being bored in your car overnight sounds preferable to being disappeared.

Also heard a theory: it was a suicide/faked death because witnesses say he wasnt drunk, he knew he was 25 miles away from the town he sent his parents to to look for him (pretended to be lost there), he cut the phone off himself suddenly after saying "oh shit", you would have heard a car, animal attack wouldnt have cut the phone off like that, a sneak attack he wouldnt seen it to say 'oh shit', if he fell into a river theyd find him, no cliffs or hills or bears in that part of minnesota someone who lives there told me.

I just feel like they would have found him, otherwise. If you think about it though, this possibility isn't all that different from being kidnapped.

I remember back when Brandon went missing. Our community was really diligent in their searching, and you could see his missing person poster everywhere. We still dont know where he is or where he ended up. Even to this day there are tips sent to the sheriff's office about what people could recall about that night. Saddest part is from where his car was, if he was headed on roads to Taunton it shouldn't have taken him more than 20 minuets to walk into town.

I live 20 miles from Canby (across the border into South Dakota). What a lot of commenters on here don't know is that in rural Minnesota in this area, there is literally towns every 10-20 miles. Check google maps for this area. Is it darker than it would be if you are near a major city? Sure. But we still have enough light pollution that you can't see many stars in the sky at night. The area this kid went missing in is far from remote, though it is mostly farmland. What really hurt the chances of finding him right away is that he was confused as to where he was at. He told his parents he was near Lynd. If you look at the map, this really doesn't make sense as to why he thought this was where he was at, unless he had really been driving way out of his way back to Marshall. The last ping on the cell towers showed him near Porter, which is just 10 miles south east of Canby, this is where they found his car. Lynd on the other hand, is 50 miles from Canby and slightly south west of Marshall. There were many searches, including using dogs and they did indicate they caught his sent near the Yellow Medicine river. It is very possible he fell into the river and drowned, though its a bit odd they never recovered his body despite extensive searching of the river. His parents did note that he said he wasn't walking on the road and had gone under fences, this area is all rural farmland and its possible he fell into an old well. Some areas closer to where I live also have some what marshy land and sinkholes. While not here in abundance like other areas, its not uncommon to have mountain lion sightings in the area as well. Other than that, the biggest predators we have in abundance are coyotes, would would certainly scavenge a body if they found it.

I can say that the story about the guy who disappeared from Fisher Hall is 100% true, the only detail that was left out was that he left his lit cigarette smoldering in the ash tray when he dissapeared. There were always loud crashing noises in the halls and all over the building. My mom went to Miami in the early 70s. As a result of this guy going missing, and all the rumors and other stories of hauntings, the university turned Fisher hall into a class room building because they determined that it wasn't safe to use it as a dorm. But there was so much noise in the building, just weird, generally loud noises, crashes and banging, that classes couldn't be conducted. So then they turned it into the theater building. My mom spent time there when it was the theater. On opening night, if the play was good, the lights on the 4th floor all turned on...the 4th floor no longer had electricity. And my mom actually saw Colonel Fisher one night walk into the costuming room and not walk back out. Colonel Fisher showed up in the wardrobe rooms a lot. Quite a few people saw him. There were also rumors that Fisher Hall had been part of the Underground Railroad and was connected by underground tunnel to The Pines Hall. The Pines was also extremely haunted. It was a women's dorm and my mom lived there. One night she was in the basement doing her laundry and found what was believed to have been that tunnel, she opened a door and it was all completely caved in with dirt and earth. Another time, she and her friend who lived across the hall went to the RA and complained about the people living on the top floor. They were always walking around all night, heavy footsteps, banging, thunking, what sounded like moving furniture all night. They were told by the RA that no one lived upstairs. My mom and her friend didnt believe her because the noise was keeping them up at nigh. So the RA unlocked a door and showed them up to the top floor. It was one giant open room that ran the entire length if the building. There was nothing up there. No walls, no furniture, nothing but a heavy layer of undisturbed dust on the floor. No foot prints, no one living there. That's when the RA explained that The Pines was also haunted, really haunted. My mom's boyfriend at the time, who was local, confirmed all of these rumors for her. Including a few other things that happened in Fisher Hall and The Pines.

She'd reach for it and realize it had been moved. (Pretty standard stuff, I've lived in many haunted places or worked in haunted offices where this would happen.) One incident she had was pretty crazy though. The ghost got mad about something and lobbed a full sized glass vase at my mom's head. It stopped right in front of her face, fell to the floor and spun in a circle without breaking. My mom yelled at the ghost to stop, then she went out into the hall and proceeded to freak out a bit. That was in The Pines. I'm not sure if any of these buildings still stand.

@@hilly345 Fisher Hall was demolished in the 1970s. The Marcum was built on its cite, but it's not the same building. Some places release the spirits when demolished and others the spirits continue to occupy the new building. I wonder which one is true for Fisher Hall. Anyone at Miami know? I'd love to hear about it.

@@scodiofficer0012 - Reminds me of when my kids were little. When they got in trouble I took the power cord to their game systems. The console and all stayed .. for them to look at .. heh, heh, heh. I was even known to rent the game that the kid in question wanted to play and say, "Ohhhh, man, I forgot; you're in trouble. Well, get out of your room, our siblings and I are gonna play it." Now with kids of their own they think I'm a genius.

I’m convinced Brandon fell down an old well or root cellar on that stretch of farmland he was walking through. Lots of old homesteads, no longer standing, had these wells and root cellars that eventually become overgrown and easy to fall into. He was probably seriously injured or killed by the fall and wasn’t able to call for help.
