If Mr Ballen taught history I might have actually paid attention.

Who needs television when we have John Ballen!

It's a fact, Mr. Ballen definitely has a knack for storytelling, I can't seem to get enough!

Ahhh man, I remember when he used to post twice weekly.. I miss those days!! Now I relive the good times because of you, so thankyou - nothing better to fall asleep to than the voice of Mr Ballen 👌😴

Crazy to see how far his storytelling has come. Mr. F’n Ballen. What a legend.

Just try to imagine how many stories he reads and how many does he not choose to put on his channel he is like a walking library

I absolutely love it when you helplessly crack up laughing!!!! So damn cute!

I would say the later episodes in this hour of videos is when you can see or hear John really coming into his own when it comes to his captivating flow to his story telling

I don't have tic toc, I started watching you on fb, I'm not exactly sure how long ago. I want to say about a year ago(maybe a Lil longer). Then followed you to youtube, I binge watch and had to take some time off cause I was watching multiple videos, multiple times. You are awesome at story telling. I personally can not get enough! 👏

Love the bloopers 😂 my favorite storyteller is Mr.Ballen 🎉

So enjoying your work Mr. J... Know it or not, you help me get through nights of raging insomnia... that would be torture otherwise. I don't know how you do what you do, but I'm sooooo happy you do! I hope it brings you every success! Thank you for your military service sir. Mad respect and appreciation.

I'm lovin the hour long videos! It makes for less surfing for more to watch 🤣🤣🤣 they made a movie of the lighthouse story u told. It was pretty good but still liked ur story better! 💜

Keep them coming I have to say every night I listen to your stories and the next thing I wake up and it is morning . You have some cracking stories ..

I'm a huge fan of falling asleep to John's stories. His way of storytelling is very vivid and alive, Keep them coming John!

Imagine being the next Mr Ballen story would be scary as hell. Mr Ballen is the best story teller on KZfaq!!!!! 🇬🇧 👍

Thank you for you services Mr. Ballen, first in foremost for fighting for our country and second all your stories on KZfaq and Facebook...your the best story teller

always has been and still is SO HUMBLE and polite.love you mr ballen

I only just discovered you in a ‘round about way’ through watching something regarding Missing 411 but I am hooked. And I have gotten my husband addicted as well. My husband works from home and listens to you while he works upstairs and I leave your Podcasts on all day as long as we are home and not busy. You just have this way of telling a story that makes it entertaining not just entertains but visually reachable to the listener. A very important part in telling a story that you have captured. Thank you for sharing your gift with all of us. 😊

I listen to your stories constantly. When I'm doing chores, in the kitchen or just relaxing. I'm starting to have trouble finding stories I haven't heard. I'm hooked. Thank u for doing this 😊

Dear John B Allen, I’m writing to say that my roommates hate you! You see, I’m a night owl and watch your videos all night. Since I have bad hearing I have the volume up. Every morning they start bitching about the nightmares you give them. Lol, can’t stop, won’t stop! Love your work 💗

Probably the best KZfaq channel to listen to around now 🙏

I find myself more and more listening to stories on KZfaq, and I must say your channel is in my top 2.

Three of these stories deal with two of my "phobias"......the sea and boats. I have been to the Atlantic, the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean. And even standing on the beach made me uncomfortable. As for boats, no thank you. I don't care for the idea of not being able to get up and leave anytime I want to. Thank you Mr. Ballen for giving me chills.

I love it when he gets tickled trying to do the like button joke. I just crack up 😄😂❤❤❤

I absolutely love mrballens channel, and he is by far the best story teller I have ever heard, please keep them coming mrballen, and I send my respect from Birmingham uk 🇬🇧

Love listening to your stories at bedtime. ❤ Thanks

I had covid for 5 months and couldn’t get rid of it. I listened to Mr. Ballen to do something while lying in bed. Made my time much more enjoyable!

I'm making sure that I don't miss ANY of your stories. Some I've seen prior to watching the 1 hour versions . However, I'm hearing some for the 1st time. I don't know if I'll ever be completely caught up!! Unless I'm incapacitated, I'll be watching!! Thank you, Sir.

What about the little kid who many believe was reincarnated as a ww2 fighter pilot ? He literally knew the names of the crew members and how they died I believe and he was on the news and met with the living ww2 vet I think. If you aren’t familiar with the story you should for sure look into it! Big fan of the channel man! Thanks for your service btw.

I found Mr. Ballens storeytelling around 2021 it was a weekend and i instantly lived his storeys. I binge listened and since then i was hooked. Luv u Mr. Ballen keep up your good work!!💋💯

Hi I just subscribed to you here but I’ve been following on utube I’m hooked lol I listen to your awesome stories and love them♥️ also I wanted to thank you for your service I’m a wife of Marine and 2 of our kids went Army. 😁

One of the best storie teller's I ever heard keep on ballen Mr. Ballen.

Thank you for all ur services ❤

Mrballen never fails to give me chills

Always so good- thank you!

In my oponion, I think that he just laid down and died and over time the dirt or sand just covered him and being on an island the salt content in the ground kept his body from decaying thereby preserving the bones from turning yellow, much like the way meat was preserved back in the day. IDK I may or may not be right. Salt has been used as a preservative for millennia.

Love your stories! Welcome back!

I’ve been intrigued by the lighthouse story for many years after first hearing about it on coast to coast a.m. radio station. what really got me was that this Elean more Isles was so remote from Scotland that the next landmass and would be the eastern seaboard of United States. And there was no beach to land on, only a series of many steps carved into the cliff that you would have to climb in order to access the island

I love listening to your stories. Thy are very interesting and I like how you explain everything.😮😊

Boss..your style makes the wild stories even better!

Simply, you rock!! I love your stories. Huge fan.

Absolutely my favorite.

Also, I got inundated by Tiktok notifications & I just uninstalled Tiktok. I discovered you on Facebook. My twins do not use Facebook. So, here I am, on KZfaq, addicted. 😆 🤣 😂.

I miss when you were storytelling like this! ❤

Your stories are so amazing they rock my world you rock

Best story teller ever

Dorothy? Past life experience for sure. You read all the time about children who believe they lived in another time, and they know things about their life back then that they would have no business knowing!

I love watching these when falling asleep

Omm Sety is interesting. Maybe she learned secrets while studying the hieroglyphs? Just my thought.

Boy you've come a long way... I'm a fan.

Love mrballen his fantastic don't know any who can tell a story like him ❤😂 he gets really into it you can tell that he really loves to do this thank you very much mrballen for all of theses real life storys ❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉

I like your videos very intriguing. I watch your videos all day.

I cannot discount other people’s paranormal experiences just because similar incidents have not happened to me. No one can explain reincarnation experiences. Especially when they turn out to have knowledge of other locations and people that no one would know except the person they appear to be reincarnated from. 😮 It’s a mystery

Radio frequencies are radial, that's why codes were used. So every time you emit a signal it travels the same space in each and every direction where there isn't physical obstacles. It isn't an aimed signal like a laser.

The lighthouse and the island were stuck in a parallel universe for a few day and when it shifted back it was just the aftermath. Thats how i would make the movie anyway i like Sci-fi:)

Ok first: “close enough for government work” is a real expression. They overlook indigenous relics all the time. B’cause it would halt progress. I didn’t hear WHY they surveyed it again, except the supposition that they were considering a refuge. I know the men or women doing the survey would not necessarily have had all the info or reasons. Second: As I mentioned military/government contractors and workers overlook indigenous relics all the time. Unless someone on the survey found it who would have recognized the registry, recognized the grave, or recognized that it was not a grave from some episode in the last 200 years, it would have been overlooked and forgotten. Third: surveys are often conducted with unskilled workers and only a few real surveyors. The unskilled labor walks out the lines, cuts brush, scales terrain and does really hard physical labor. They don’t care about anything but the next point of measurement. (My husband has worked his way up doing this) Fourth: when dealing with ancient civilizations, “recent burial” often means within the last few decades. But is usually unique to the examiner. A military examiner would be cursory, unlike a criminal examiner. “No this is not a relic, no special care need be taken.” Or otherwise abbreviated observation. I didn’t hear that actual DNA was conducted. Perhaps it was. But simply recognizing the evidence of the boat, the evidence of a plainly Caucasian skeleton, of a certain developmental age, buried in the last several decades, would have been enough to extrapolate the identity. The question remains, but I suspect the men drifted, some died. A foreign agency picked them up- perhaps pirates who very definitely still operate. Perhaps the survivor/s were forced labor?? Perhaps Moorman passed, but had a friend, who took his remains back to the island he was picked up from. Perhaps he had written on the pages, heat makes ink disappear. Maybe he tried protect it with the aluminum. My observation.

Gently liquidate the like button 😂😂 MrBallon ur so damn cute!!! 😘

The missing lighthouse keepers is indeed mysterious. Don't see how we can ever know what actually happened. The only thing that occurs to me is that they ate something that caused hallucinations. Sea Bream is apparently a fish that causes reactions of this kind. I suppose they ate a lot of fish - but maybe not. If not it might be a food of some other kind. Occam's Razor says that when you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains must be the answer. But then in a universe of which 95% is unknowable, any flipping thing is possible!

I really enjoy your 1hour videos. Your a master storyteller 🌈🙏🎈

U R the best and what you do,continue my friend U R one good story tellers.!!!🙂🙂🙂

There is a very similar story involving a German u boat ,the battery compartment was flooded with sea water and the salt reacted with the battery and it first put off posinous gas and then it blew up....

I listen to your station all the time and I really enjoy the stories especially the ones with Bigfoot and flash reptilians. I got a few of my own I can probably tell you but you probably wouldn't post them because they're so weird. Thank you for putting these stories on! It makes me realize that I'm not as crazy as I thought I was.

And nobody does it better!❤😊

That was a great story!! I’m from Vancouver, Canada and may have a story suggestion? I believe it was called “the milkshake murder”? The large sign that factors into this story was there from before I was born in the 1950’s, until about 10 years ago. Every time we’d pass the sign, my parents would repeat this famous murder. Hopefully you’ll find it interesting? Canadian fan🇨🇦

I've started playing Playlist roulette with these hour long vids 😂

Yr research is greatly appreciated and entertaining! I believe they were in a humongous fight and they called it a storm. Either with themselves or with someone else, by the way they all left or killed themselves.

I quite by accident found your videos- they’re a little scary but they sure do remind one to be careful- love your presentation and I’ve now started at #1 and am continuing in numerical order - don’t know how many there are, but please keep them coming as I tend to binge watch 😊

The orang madon case , wierd how even the little dog died in a fearful state. Could be toxic poisoning where they were hallucinating idk

Gently liquidated the like button. What the hell happened to my phone?

I have been sub'd to ''MrBallen' for quite a while, love your videos. I found 'Hourly' today, yeah. Love your story telling. Thank you. 💕

Love your style . I listen all night. Just curious how do you sleep at night with all of this in your head?

Love your story choices and engaging narration. I’ll bet your kids make you tell them a ton of stories before bed 💕

This is fabulous❤ thank you.🇦🇺 25:47

Hope there's rocky outcroppings ones involved in this hour of stories, my favorites!

That episode about the floating ghost ship reminds me of an NCIS Story I.e floating ghost ship only dead bodies on board all with expressions of terror on their faces. As i recall the ship had been hunting for a lost nuclear warhead. The episode was THE CHIMERA

I love your Facebook stuff!

These stories are Really Good & Interesting. Thanx 2 John & Thelma (Mom)., however, I subscribed AND hit the bell. That was 1 year ago, I have NOT yet received ANY notifications of New Videos!! Is there an explanation ?, Please.

These episodes im glad to ree see cause I forgot about most ofceach story 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🦅🦅🦅👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙂🙂🙂✌🏼

While I just adore watching and listening to you tell your stories on KZfaq I have over the last two years realized that there are others out there that do the same thing that you have decided to do, However there is no one out there as delightful as you or has the voice that is easy to listen to. My name is Denise and I am from salt lake City everyone that I know and that I have just met I ask them if they've ever heard of you mr. Ballen. Recently last week I sent out a request that you search out one of our most horrific in salt lake City/Washington State stories.That would be the Susan and Josh Powell story it is probably one of the worst stories stories that we have all heard here in the state and maybe across the country. It is worth researching. approximately happened about five years ago or less. There are quite a few stories that you tell that just stick with me and I can watch them over and over again as I've heard some of your viewers say before this is one of those stories. I'm sure you won't have a hard time finding this story as it did happened here in salt lake City and Washington area. Please keep up with the originality as you have a massive amount of viewers around the world. Thank you Denise Shubert

I wonder if John watches "One Step Beyond" ???

I think they were tormented by spirits and went crazy and leaped to there death just to escape the torment that's my opinion

I be forgetting bro is a military-sharpened killing machine😂

OMG!!!!! Where's the Flannel shirt at? I think I'm having anxiety over this!! lololol

Love to see you lose it! You make me laugh. And that's a good thing!

Thee Egyptian woman, I would say it wasn't reincarnation, but a possession

I really miss the old days when he yploaded 3to4 times a week!! 😢😢

You look cute 😊 in your ‘greens’!! Oh… now I totally forgot what I was going to say 🤷‍♀️anyway you’re really good at this!! 👏✌️🥹

She had what is called "familiar spirits". Demonic.

On the reincarnation story i do believe its possible to have memories that aren't yours. Memories either from a past life or from ancestors long past. My moms family have this family home in Oklahoma. And when my mom showed me pictures of the house and places around town i recognized it all from my dreams. I would dream of this house every night and the families that lived there. I instantly pointed to the house and said thats the house from my dreams and theres a big porch on the back with a huge tree where he fell and cracked his skull. I dont know who he was it was just the words that came out. From the picture you couldn't see a tree (that was cut down) or the porch that was removed before my mom was born. And her grandmas cousin had fallen from a tree cracked his skull and died so they cut the tree down to stop the kids from climbing it and getting hurt. She also showed me a picture of the library she would go to and before she said that i pointed to it and said thats the school house but the garden is gone. She then said no its a library there was never a garden. A while later she found a picture of it as a old school house with a flower garden out front. Ive never been there but these memories felt so vivid in my dreams and after seeing the house i stopped dreaming about it.

I REMEMBER WHEN MR BALLEN ONLY STARTED WITH 3K SUBS , THEN 3YRS LATER MORE THAN 3M SUB , NEVER SEEN ANYONE GET THAT MANY SUBS THAT QUICK TELLING THE BEST STORIES

I believe the story of reincarnation is actually a reincarnation case.

Are you still broadcasting? Imma KZfaq fan.

My guess would be that a very large tornado hit the island late in the middle of the night when everyone on the main land was asleep

There was a storm more than likely that swept them away. It's easy to not notice a storm when you aren't in it.

On the Serah Joe boat disappearance. They could’ve been stranded on another island they did have water for six years but no one ever saw them there and then they decided to drift try their other chances to be seen at See or stumble upon another island that might be inhabited. Also I thought I saw someone else’s assumption that the booklet/pages with the foil might’ve been a Japanese or Chinese tradition that when you bury someone you put something in with them and that was a very Asian culture the foil within the pages and there might’ve been writing in there but was bleached out

There's a movie with gerald butler in it about how he's a lighthouse keeper with 2 other men that they have been hearing crazy stuff

Cold spots? Paranormal activity!

Uhhh.... we're their any sheep left on the lighthouse island? Kind of an important detail

I agree with you I think they didn't scour the island good enough. Perchance whoever buried him also died on the island, but there was no one to bury them. Maybe a storm could have washed their bones out. It is quite the puzzlement😮🤠

the S.S ourang medan... could that be Medusa that killed the crew?
