We would die for them and I already know, they'd died for us from personal experience. Best damn dogs we ever had.

A poignant part of that story for me is when the tapping was occuring the young man said he could feel his dad telling him "just stay right there son. Don't let it in just stay in bed and ihnore it. Don't let it in". I also remember reading that he stayed for the rest of the week and the rest of his time was uneventful. Kid was a great story telling.

Because not everyone is a coward that needs a gun to take care of themselves or to feel safe. I been to woods and mountains and deserts and never felt any need to have a gun with me. I am capable, mature adult and self reliant. I don't need a gun to feel safe. I don't need a gun to handle every situation that may come up. As a side note - if a person is not capable and therefor easily scared does have a gun, there is a rather high chance of that person using said gun when they don't need to and killing someone that was never a threat to them in the first place. See the vast amount of police shootings of unarmed civilians. Some of those are justified and some are not. An idiot with a gun is a danger to themselves and others. Edit* - just looked this up for ya. 300,000 murders last year by humans. Roughly 700 deaths by animal attacks per year (average). There is danger is the world - just not really where your fear is at.

Just wrote a long reply to your comment... only for it to get destroyed while editing it... long story short, and without any context... I have watched my parents’ two Siberian huskies chase something out of a closet it my parents home, through the house, up the walls, and onto the ceiling where they growled and barked at whatever they were seeing crawl on the ceiling for 20 minutes. This was just after I got home from football practice and was trying to go relax. It was one of the most disturbing experiences of my life. Writing the story earlier made me tear up and gave me goosebumps. Their are some things we cant forget, for me... that is one of them. This was a sliver of the the experiences from that house. The worst part... this wasn’t even the most disturbing encounter. Recalling the memories brings about an immediate and intense feeling of dread I cannot forget even 10 years after. So here I am.. telling strangers on KZfaq haha. Too bad the rest of the story was deleted... take care friends. Love the ones you love, and keep them close. Everything can be explained, but some explanations might be better left off as mysteries.

It's true, dogs have super senses. I'm retired, but I used to work late then come home to a house with everyone already in bed. I would read or write and unwind awhile before turning in around 1 a.m. or so. We had a Miniature Schnauzer at the time, weighing 30 pounds. He was a good watch dog. One night, after I had come home, he jumped off the recliner where he slept and began barking in a ferocious way that I hadn't heard before. He pointed his nose at the corner of the room. I turned off the lamp and looked out the window. A man was standing well up in the driveway. A big man silhouetted against the snow. He was looking up the driveway toward the garage behind our house. I knew what he wanted---a gas generator I had chained to the freestanding basketball goal. An ice storm had downed our power for the past week, and I had borrowed the generator from my brother-in-law. But the man in the driveway was too late; I had returned it after the power came back on. After my initial surprise, I looked again but the guy had gone. My dog had saved the day. I mean night.

Hey Mr. Ballen. I was born and raised in Oregon. I''m a 67. Yr old grandma. I've spent a lot of time in the woods here!! I'm very at home in our woods. One year while we were hunting something screamed at us!!!! I know our native animals. It was extremely close to us!! Just feet away!! It scared us so badly that we left the woods!!! It was halfway between a howl and a scream!! It was a blood curdling scream!! Yet we c OI uld not see it!!! It was within feet of us!!! To this day we don't know what it was. We've heard many bigfoot sounds that various people have recorded My husband and I are almost certain that it was a bigfoot !!! It was very loud and very close!! Bigfoot doesn't scare me but something that loud and only feet away and invisible to us, DOES!!!! Thank you for the videos!!

Very likely a cougar or mountain lion. Google them screaming and see if that sounds like it (I hope so!) There's a old adage, for every time you see a cougar, it's seen you 100x.

I feel like if it were a cougar within a few feet of them, and they turned and ran, it would have chased. I was leaving a friends house one night, he lives almost at the bottom of a mountain, and as we walked outside talking kind of loud and chillin on his porch for a minute we hear this crazy ass roar/scream (a mountain lion, I googled it) and then this thing starts slinking down the hill trying to be quiet and investigate what all the noise is about. Then it stops just behind the tree line and watches as were both blindly looking towards the woods whispering to each other and waiting for something to happen. We went back in his house for a few minutes hoping it would get bored then I finally left on my bicycle. Wasted no time getting out of the area that night. I feel like the mt lion was ready to jack some other animal but we scared it’s prey away and pissed it off, then it came down to see if it could eat us instead. Luckily I’m a big dude (Fairly confident I could hold my own in a fight with a mt lion but I wouldn’t volunteer) and there were two of us. We couldn’t see this thing at all but he was watching us intently trying to figure out if he wanted to make a move or not. Terrifying stuff.

One day, years ago, MrBallen's friend asked him how his day was and for 15 mins he told the most eloquent story of a mundane afternoon and his buddy was like "dude, you should really tell stories". And here we are.

Do you reckon he used to tell stories at night to entertain his unit in the field? I can picture it so easily, I feel like he probably did. Or if not, those guys majorly missed out.

@terim.0404 2 жыл бұрын

Without any doubt! Listening to Mr. Ballen tell these stories it's impossible not to realize how he entertained his fellow compatriots and ya gotta know they were as riveted as we are when listening. Back in the very early medieval times Mr. Ballen would have been called a 'bard' or a 'scop ' these people were held in high regard by the people and the king, earl, jarl, or whomever.

"And my mom said, John, can you do the lunch dishes please? B/c my MOOOOM, she had friends coming over to play cards later that day, just like she did EVery WEEK, so this was nothing out of the ordinary. But THIS TIME, I didn't feel like doing dishes just then! I just didn't feel like it. So I told her no I'm gonna go ride my bike with Jeremy down to the lake for a while. And my mom, well, okay then. You did the lunch dishes yesterday so I guess you can take the afternoon off and I'll have your do it. Have a nice time with Jeremy, tell his mom thanks for the casserole dish it really came in handy. And I got on my bike, and I met Jeremy, he was on his bike, and we went down to the lake and had a great afternoon catching frogs."
