Sounds terrible how was it?

your phone has a camera does it not? im sure you made it. ghosts aren't real. trust me. i have threatened them (demons to be specifically) with a Ouija board. even spit on it and not a damn thing happened so they're either scared of me 😂😂 or don't exist

@@GuidoLuzzi Oh No. They are real. I have seen them. I never believed. Lived in a haunted house for several years, and saw them occasionally, and so did other people in the same house. They can push and shove and move objects around. Changed my understanding of the world.

Love this story😊😅

His reaction to a dog doing nothing but freak him out was to shoot it. What a POS. He deserved bad things

⁠@@willywonka7812 Not defending shooting at a dog. Normally I would/do agree with you. But keep in mind this was an unnatural looking dog the size of a large wolf (MUCH bigger than a typical canine) and this was the early 19th century in rural Tennessee when violent animal attacks were far from uncommon. I agree with you, but it is unfair to put it strictly in modern context

This is a good theory

My theory is it never happened because ghosts aren't real and have no basis in science or logic.

Im grew up about 30 minutes from Adams and know way too much about the subject from old timers and personal experience from visiting the cave. It’s definitely haunted, but its more likely due to the trail of tears and John disturbing a indian burial site on the property

Hello, fellow Tennesseean!

Please don't take it as a negative comment, but which subject does this type of thesis come under? Edit: Got the answer. Probably history.

History, I’m guessing.

I'm from East Tennessee nice to see this . Yes Kool to hear Mr. ballen cover it indeed.

What do you mean it's an honor?

They were the 1800s version of paranormal detection equipment LOL

Great story , as always !

OMG POSTED 1 DAY AGO AND THERE’S ALREADY 1 MILLION VIEWS!!! 🫶🏻💪🏻👍🏻 Well done, Mr. Ballen! Amazing work, as always. ❤

I'm too enchanted by the story to find the secret edit I remember 4vir 5 uploads a week too he got us hooked now we have to wait patiently for the strange dark and mysterious delivered in story format

From what I just read you need to watch it on your computer screen to see it it's too small to see on a phone

I miss those early days. Seems like yesterday, but it was before Covid. I wait with baited breath for his Sunday upload.

that's exactly what I'm doing 😂

damn so it is real. i mean the place is a little funky irl its not just a legend. this haunting along with Ed and Lorraine Warren are the sole reasons i believe in demons and fiends. scary world we live in.

@@mangoman64 ed and lorraine warren were exposed more than once for fabricating their stories or at least highly embellishing. like the famous conjuring story for example, they had nothing to do with. after staying a couple days they apparently were making things worse and the family asked them to leave

@@kyle21843 damn that's cringe. they might be frauds but i still believe in evil spirits. it's just that humans weren't meant to fight them i suppose.

@@mangoman64 oh yeah im not debating on that by any means because i truly have no definite answer

I live a few miles away… and YUP… that area…. Has a crazy evil feel to it…. I legit hate to drive through Adams because of it.😮

Why does every comment on this channel feel the need to share their fucking life story? No one gives a shit. You're not that special.

Exactly this would make a kickass movie if the people who made conjuring made it

​@@anthonytorres3000 Yes it definitely would...and I sure as hell wouldn't watch it lol. I can't handle horror movies. I stopped watching them after I watched the Nun, maybe it sounds stupid but my friend and I watched it in an Imax theater and we both absolutely shat ourselves the entire movie through. Because I've got this tendency to always put myself in the character in the movie's shoes. I couldn't sleep for two nights.

I swear there is! Its set back then too. I forget what its called but its about this im pretty sure. I never knew there was a true story behind the movie. The family is the bell family and they are haunted like this but in the end the dad was doing something too the one daughter and the haunting was actually just the ghost or whatever trying to kill the dad cuz of it

I think the movie is called An American Haunting 🤔

The movie was disappointing and made it a horrible story about sexual abuse and incest.

Right!! 😺👍

The art of a great story teller.

I've been watching mrballen for like a year and never even noticed he does that lol

😊

I thought that too until mr ballen stopped being as good.

Ditto

I think the one he did the week prior about the haunting in Connecticut was scarier

If you read the many book articles this has a lot of indications of a hoax. Of course some books play it up for the mystery but the ones that really analyze it bring up questions

Was coming here to say the same thing. This one will give me nightmares.

@@PerpetuallyIntroverted I don't remember the tank one or the inhalation of the toy traffic cone but I remember the others. Gosh, the tree lungs was WILD!!! Made me scared of eating watermelon seeds for a while. Remember the volcano(or hot springs(cant remember)) one, the boy wanted to take a picture and was told repeatedly not to cross the safety area but he did and unalived, the parents then tried to sue the tour area but they lost and said that their son was great and not to think of him as a random risk taker/senseless person(not those exact words but that's what they meant).

@@suzys8558 I think that was the one with the blow hole, he was messing around with it and fell directly into it. I remember because I felt really sorry for his mum but quietly agreed with the locals for saying the blow hole wasn’t the problem, people not respecting nature was! Oh I’m so jealous you can’t remember/haven’t heard those 2 stories, the tank one was: Top 3 photos with disturbing backstories- Part 20 and the traffic cone one was: Top 3 stories that sound fake but are 100% real- Part 7 (so funny).

@KaizerWarrex, Beware of Scammer replying Prize!

That's really fascinating! Did you ever experience any of it personaly?? I know it was a long time ago lol

How can we know ur telling the truth 😢

Be quiet if you have nothing to say

The Bell Witch legend centers on the Bell family, who lived in Robertson County, Tennessee, in the early 19th century. The haunting began in 1817 and reportedly ended in 1821. Here's a brief timeline of the events:Start: 1817 - The Bell family started experiencing disturbances, such as strange noises, physical assaults, and unusual phenomena.End: 1821 - The haunting largely ceased after the death of John Bell, who the entity claimed to despise and supposedly poisoned.The Bell Witch legend persisted beyond 1821, with some reports suggesting sporadic activity in the years that followed, but the primary period of intense haunting lasted from 1817 to 1821.

😂😂😂 i guess then is you are the very very distant .....like decades long..... lost family member 😂

YES!

I am writing to share the most incredible thing you will ever hear, and it has everything to do with your position if you will follow it. First, it is impossible that anything you can touch, taste, hear, see or smell on the face of the earth, be it lighting, tornados, rocks, life, minerals from salt to plutonium or anything that can be with the powerful telescope we have in orbit and beyond what we can see, that could possibly exist without having been created. Because of this, we can be sure that everything that is had to be made where there was absolutely nothing to make it out of. Romans 1:20 New International For since creation of the world God's invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature--have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been , so that people are without excuse. So you see, there is a God. I myself have studied world religions in depth in college and much more so on own time. I have found that the only religion that holds water is Christianity. I am no affiliate of any Christian denomination as they are called because the enemy has a very well received counterfeit in place in nearly all of them, and the condition is terminal. I am Messianic, where I find Truth to be most rightly applied and followed. The bill of rights we share is such a blessing. But I will quote TobyMcKeehan with Times are changing/With morals in decay/Human rights have made the wrong okay. I am only showing you the way as I have found it through much study and life experience. Perhaps my best case for Truth of this is found in the book of Habakkuk 1-2:17 where he was given a vision of Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany. Some very strong and interesting proof is in the discovery of Sodom and Gomorrah. This is in these videos. Pt. 1 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Zrejmrxilpupdpc.html Pt. 2 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/btacm5d_stW1o2w.html And here is where the remains of pharaoh's army is found in the red sea. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jpl-qKScvbvbpWQ.html Gnesis 19:24 New International Version Then the LORD rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah--from the LORD out of the heavens. Brimstone found there is over 95 percent pure. The purest sulfur anywhere else is just over 45% and is found near active geothermal regions. Brimstone such as is found near these two infamous cities is found nowhere else on earth. Yet here it is still, a God-given supernatural element to warn those who would live against Him. 2 Peter 2:6 If He condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah to destruction, reducing them to ashes as an example of what is coming on the ungodly; He is love or He wouldn't have warned us.After much consideration I found truth best taught and followed as a Messianic. Here are two of the videos I found on this. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eqiDfNZjx67NZZs.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Zrejmrxilpupdpc.html&t=2s THESE 2 VIDEOS ARE UNDENIABLE PROOF OF NOAH'S ARK AND SODOM AND GOMORRAH. IT WAS SOUND AND THE DIMENSIONS AND MEASUREMENTS MATCH THE BIBLICAL RECORD EXACTLY. WHAT THEY FIRST SAW LOOKED TO BE AN OUTLINE OF A SHIP IN THE MOUNTAINS OF ARARAT WHERE THE BIBLE SAID THE ARK SETTLED. IT WAS MOSTLY PETRIFIED WOOD WITH LINES OF METAL RUNNING THE LENGTH OF THE ARK REMAINS EVENLY SPACED ACROSS. THIS MEDAL WAS NOT FOUND OUTSIDE THE ARK. THE ALSO FOUND PETRIFIED ANIMAL DROPPINGS AND WHAT LOOK TO BE RIB TIMBERS USED IN CONSTRUCTION. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pbenmbhoqdy5qXk.html BELOW ARE THE ACTUAL REMAINS OF SODOM AND GOMORRAH'S ASHEN REMAINS. MILLIONS OF PIECES OF BRIMSTONE WAS FOUND IN THE AREA OF THE CITIES, BUT NONE IN BETWEEN THEM. BRIMSTONE MEANS SULFUR. THIS SULFUR IS 98% PURE. THE PUREST SULFUR FOUND ANYWHERE ELSE ON EARTH IS A MAZIMUM 40% PURE. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fc6EnaiTs824gYE.html

@@Awendell420 does it work?!

Agree. Mr Ballen makes you feel like you're listening to an old friend. In a world where technology has left us more solitary and isolated than any time in human history this experience fills a void by simulating a feeling of social connection. Storytelling is practically a lost art nowadays. It was once a valuable social skill and an important part of life especially in small towns and in pre-industrial societies. Spent much of my 20s in small island communities in the Pacific - mostly French Polynesia and Hawaii - where every community has at least one "raconteur" , often the most extroverted and entertaining member of the community, who could tell any story so that everyone would listen, hanging on their every word.

Yes but it’s still just “virtual” like, he’s not really there with you in person in fact he doesn’t know that most of us even exist.
