I'm not a woman or even a parent, but I can only imagine the sheer horror of hearing your son frantically exclaiming ''where are you?! Where are you?!'' only for the phone line to be cut off and for them to have disappeared is something that would haunt me for a lifetime.
I'm holding my baby boy in my arms right now, and I could not agree more with you! Then to have his murder hushed up by police.. really adds salt to the wound!
I think he was running away from an attacker and went to the hill because of the trees to hide but got lost and passed out from exhaustion + him being drunk caused his death from hypothermia. Wind can cover up the footprints with snow. animals picked up his pants and shoes possibly using them for nests
Regarding the last story you told about the (almost) invisible creature, I have been researching many stories regarding this phenomenon. It is collectively known as the Glimmer Man. This thing is real. There was a group of people playing music by a river who all witnessed the same thing. “It looked like the heat coming off the road on a summer day”.
I'm not even remotely interested in conspiracy theories. That said, the gov't has essentially said, "Yeah those ufo sightings by military pilots are something .... unidentifiable." It's possible there is a scientific explanation but it's also possible that there is a great deal we don't about in our world.
I hike all the time by myself and go pretty deep into the woods of Ohio, Maine, California and several other states. One thing I've learned over the years is that if you are in the woods and everything is deadly silent with no signs of wildlife you need to leave immediately. You are not necessarily in danger but bad things seem to happen when people push on after noticing the unnatural stillness.
Adam Schmidt, ive heard about the strange things that happen during the unnatural silence and stillness, out of curiosity have u ever experienced this yourself or personally know ppl who have?
@@glenakatsr it's not as obvious as you think. A large predator could be coming up behind you on the path you took, or coming onto you from your side. Turning around isn't always the safest option.
Always, always, always tell people where you are going and when you will be back if you are going into the wilderness. This was the golden rule when I lived in Alaska and we never deviated. So many people live their whole lives in this country with a false sense of safety, never realizing they’re sitting comfortably at the edge of chaos...
Sadly, in most modern education facilities these days topics like self awareness, letting friends or family know where you’re going, carrying some water and maybe something to eat, even items like alternate communication devices, is not taught and even not spoken about. I only spent 3yrs in the Boy Scouts when I was young, but those lessons have stayed with me.
@@realaussiemale567 What the fuck do you mean "sadly?" Name a nation that uses public education too teach common sense/Basic family teachings. Its sad the PARENTS dont understand shit.
Mr. Ballen is the most detailed story teller to the point I can see it actually happening in my mind. He keeps you intrigued. Some stories are sad, but deserve attention. Almost like paying respect. I especially appreciate the respectful manner in which you do give us the whole story and don’t leave out the pets ❤ 😊
Soooo....the coroner, who attends at least 6 years of specialized schooling, JUST to determine cause of death, time of death, and manner of death, says its foul play...and people with zero specialized schooling fire him for doing his job and disagree? Nothing to see here folks
Sounds like he got kidnapped at the gas station raped murdered then dumped there somehow maybe from a road above or a small plane. 2nd story sounds like same person did the crime
@@donnacsuti4980 It's also possible that the assailants covered up all the footprints that had been left in the snow so that no one could follow the footprints to Dylan's body or to the culprits.
@@justinpowell3174 Yes, I'm aware that is the process in many places, my county included. I was referring to the video stating the "coroner" made the distinction of cause of death, not the medical examiner, with is why I composed my comment the way I did.
Its also very lucky that he was an "optical physicist" and could examine this strange, strange photo that borked itself by magical means and such. What are the chances.... yep.
@@Trainwheel_Time it does not matter what he was there are millions of stories like this these figures and blue light's are linked together there is a reason why there so hard to see on camera and no one can take a good picture of these things there invisible like she said its almost like a blurry mirage like a heat wave you can only see the distortion. These things are happening all around the world 🌎
That last lady survived an encounter with the Predator, she is very lucky and my hero from this point on. Kudos to her for not screaming and running away, Predator knew courage when he saw it!
The person found naked with his head in the ground seems to me to be suffering from hypothermia (paradoxical undressing) and the reason he was found with his head in the dirt is because a feature of final-stage hypothermia is terminal burrowing, or "hide & die syndrome".
That would explain many stories on this channel, like why soldier hide to crack in boulder on that winter island etc.. Profound discovery, at least to me. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypothermia#Paradoxical_undressing
@day dazed Lol, for hunters it's not abnormal for us to be in complete silence. But there's mostly always some kind of natural sounds happening, a single leaf fluttering around on the tree, a squirrel or chipmunk jumping through leaves or snow, or just the wind itself. You have to admit, sometimes when all of it suddenly ceases, it can be a tad creepy. Lol. Exceptionally calming, but every once and a blue moon, it can be weird. Like you're being watched. Which, I have spotted other hunters and watched them in my binoculars for a short time...hence why I probably feel watched occasionally, you never know when somebody has you in their sights. Or something..lol..the Missing 411 really makes you wonder.
Sometimes i go back to the time stamp n look where the commentor said it was. And i still miss the clue. I dont even bother trying anymore. Just enjoy the stories. No stress
That last story is so weird! I remember something similar happened to me once when I was out at night in the middle of the desert. I remember that we were walking down this path, and I suddenly felt the urge to stop and stare at one particular direction, not even knowing why. I was slightly scared, but not enough to tell the others, and I just felt something was out there, so I took out my phone and took a picture... but it came out *really* weird. I was only able to see the cactus directly in front of me, but they were enveloped in this weird rainbow-y light, like there were red, blue and yellow rays coming from somewhere to my right, but everything was in complete darkness. I took another picture, thinking maybe my finger had gotten in the way, but it came out the same. I even took off my phone case, but to no avail; according to my phone, there was some kind of light comming from somewhere even if I couldn't see it. I'm thankful I wasn't alone that night, and that I was relatively close to civilization, because otherwise idk what could've happened.
When you bite the hot pocket but don't get all the way through the ham and when you pull back you pull out the ham and then it falls on your lip and scalds your lips so much that they blister. That is the biggest hot pocket injury possible. *RIP Lips*
or you somehow get some that had thawed and refroze and end up getting food poison from one and then all you taste for a week is pepperoni while throwing up everything eww lol
The final story reminds me of Predator, the movie. I would be Flippin TERRRRRIFIED if I saw that. These stories have me literally on the edge of my seat, and I've been marathon watching you for over a week now. Love what you do!! Thanks for the adrenaline rush, the entertainment, and the reminder to always be aware of my surroundings.
Yes, it is, isn't it? 😨 But luckily, a lot of these entities seem "allergic" to being videoed! They seem to leave the area if you do that, Bigfoots and ETs included. Best self defence against the bastard things? Take a picture!.🙂 I do believe this story to be true, btw.
I definitely thought of the movie Predator. One of MrBallen's videos popped up onto my home screen about 2 weeks ago, I watched that video, watched a couple more after that then immediately subscribed to his channel. Watching his videos has become a nightly ritual now 😊. He's such a fantastic storyteller!
Methinks she had a moment, maybe a mental freakout or break of some sort. We don't know her mental health history but could play. The camera can output a picture at pretty much any arbitrary aspect ratio. The resolution thing is kind a red herring, the app is just giving you three options. So she might have had another camera app on her phone or used a different app that also made use of the camera and took the picture using that while she was incapacitated and didn't realize it. Maybe a game camera app was used to take the picture, those will use low resolutions. As for the picture itself, low light, maybe the lens was covered but it was definitely taken with a slow shutter speed judging by the streaks in it. Nothing remarkable about it really. If the camera settings can be accessed by app programmers they could tell the camera to take a picture at any resolution that the camera sensor supports, which will be waaay more than just 3. Typically. The light in the forest her nephew saw, almost certainly just a person with a flashlight walking around. It was the evening after all. Reason the instructor got spooked was because of the strange person in the woods with a flash light stalking around near school grounds. Reason it happened the year before, same guy likes the seasonal weather of the time of year and also enjoys going out into the woods. Her scientist husband? He is just being a good husband and supporting his wife anyway he can. Sadly, I think the story might be more of a story mental decline in older age rather than of Predator roaming through the forest of oregon, stalking and toying with potential pray. For everyone involved in that story, I think they'd rather it was Predator.
Story #1 about Dylan Parker was actually one of my best friends brother. It is incredibly sketchy and was super sad because he was so young. He was an awesome guy and actually just got his life back on track right before this happened. Around the time he went missing/died there were two other girls from around the area that had weird deaths too. Brianna cook was one of them.
Thanks for the info Tanieka, those were strange deaths indeed, really bothers me that those police people didn't bother looking into them more, looks like someone was covering up something!
Dylan Parker's death seems like something much more sinister was going on there, especially after the medical examiner was fired so viciously. They're probably covering up some murderer there.
@@alsimonuk Maybe not something as Ludacris as that, but something clearly was off about how Dylan died, I mean zero tracks whatsoever by the body or even leading to or away from it on that mountain, David was right to question what the police were doing with the case as it seemed like they were sweeping it under the rug as they didn't immediately have any clues to determine the cause of death. But I think that's where the police were also trying to sweep it under the rug as now, they have the equipment to detect harmful substances inside someone's blood, which I believe during 2014 was when that tech was either already fully incorporated into police stations for that very purpose or was just beginning to get around, if that station had that tech they could have taken a sample of his blood to see if there were any harmful substances in his blood. They know he was drunk or at least tipsy but parties also tend to have at least that ONE PERSON smuggle drugs into the party and spike a few drinks with those drugs and Dylan might have been under the effects of those drugs if they had an extremely strong dose, perhaps enough to where he just started thrashing around which could explain why there were no tracks, which was why his pants and boots could have been removed from his person especially if that was done when he reached where he was found or at least up in a tree somewhere.
Add in brianna cook also went to a party at the same house in osborn roughly 3 months prior then died by hanging herself at her fsthers house after leaving the party angry. Ashely sullivan also hung herself a few months after dylans death and apprantly knew them both..
It is much more sinister than they are letting off. Not too long after he died another girl he was with "hung" herself, she couldn't tie a knot by herself and everyone that knew her knew that. There is a lot of unanswered questions surrounding this case. I live in the area and know many people who knew Dylan personally.
isn't it at least a possibility that the police were in fact correct and the man was incapable of doing his job? what if the police were actually right and the dude was being biased? just saying that it can't be ruled out. maybe he was wrong and his judgment was biased
@@Maintenance_Mark that, to me, is the main reason it would be interesting to talk to him. To try to gage whether he’s credible or not, cause it could very well just be him trying to sound more important than he is.
@@emdove oh I absolutely agree I wish we could get word directly from the horse's mouth on this one. We might be able to see right off the bat that he's a quack or we might see that he's very credible and documented his work well.
Something about his case (Dillon) doesn't sit well in my stomach...when his mom said there was fear in his voice, she heard fear, a mother knows her child...I don't know who or what happend but I believe with all my heart, Dillon had help getting to where he was found.
@@roseredadonna8174 right but no one heard him scream. His mom was right around the corner. He saw something that scared him like a lot of the missing do.
It's amazing to me how many cops in these stories rule out foul play when they've got descriptions of their victims calling their loved ones sounding panicked and saying people are following them...you'd figure that would point to some degree of foul play?
I know what you mean! I have a beautiful property with a great area that's really dense woods. I walk laps around an open field that's right along the woods and I used to walk through the woods all the time too but now I won't go alone. I make my 21 year old son go with me or I don't go. He carries survival gear with him down there.Lol
I have always loved to walk alone in the woods even as young as 5 years old. It was my happy place . We lived on a farm with woods all around for miles. I’ve never been scared in the woods, alone in the city on the other hand😓
me too! I had just listened to a bunch of people going missing in the forest or like weird and creepy things happening and then I had to go camping like then next day it was terrifying 😭
Love how this channel has permission from David Paulides, the original person and founder of the missing 411 and you provide links to his works and promote him and his work.
Agreed, so many channels use sources without permission or even citing them. It’s great he is acknowledging the people that did the larger part of the work finding and compiling all these stories that he uses instead of. Pretending that he deep dive researched everything.
It’s odd how many phone calls are made where people claim they are being chased by a person or persons and then they are never found. A lot of your stories have this detail. Has to be something to these claims.
Story #3, the gas station the teen called his mom from - no-one thought to review the security footage to see if he walked off or was abducted? I feel like something huge is missing here!
There’s an interview with this woman somewhere, Maybe it’s in one of the 411 films, or with David Paulides. She talks about how she could “see” it moving and grasping branches that were farther away than anything with normal appendages could get to. Like this shimmering holographic being would reach out and then the “arm” would stretch out and lengthen to reach the next tree, which would dip down towards this creature. And this happened well before the “Predator” films came out. Really creepy.
It was 'The Hunted", missing 411 documentary. The lady said she saw it reach over and climb on to another tree that was 12 feet away from the tree it was already on. Then she took pictures, and the shot she took of it came out in a resolution her camera didn't have an option for. This isn't the first time I've heard of digital equipment malfunctioning when trying to capture something weird. I think film would be immune to that interference. It's a chemical medium and therefore should be less prone to scrambling. But the chances of someone being out when they notice something odd, and having a film camera on them instead of digital is probably almost non existent.
I try to be as open minded as possible, but the fact that the ONE PHOTO she was able capture of this thing JUST HAPPENS to be distorted, 99% lens flare, and a smaller aspect ratio. Why would the aspect ratio change? I think she was just looking for something to talk with her husband about because he was all into this shit.
Watched this last night and heard “Dustin Self” and was totally shocked. It’s been almost a decade since he left. We both went to the same school and he was by far the best skater out of all of us. RIP Audio!
@@anomaly3215 “I have no reason to not believe that you’re not lying but if not…” How many negatives can you throw in a sentence? It no longer means what he thinks it does. An accidental space before a period because I’m typing on an iPad is completely different. You are as dumb as it gets.
Listening to the story about Dustin I immediately remembered a fellow I rescued in the Smokey's a number of years ago, he was acutely hypothermic and having lost much of his cognitive ability he stripped nude believing he was overheating and took shelter under what he thought was a large rock outcropping. In reality when I found him he was on the summit of the mountain (Either Thunder Head or Rocky Top, I can't remember atm), nude, and pressed up against a small bolder covering only his head and face with the rest of his body exposed to a constant icy mist.
@@Zorro9129 Yeah, we carried him down to a nearby AT trail shelter where some backpackers took over caring for him while we went back out to locate and care for another couple victims. That first fellow was later evacuated by horseback along with his brother in law who we also were able to bring to the same shelter (Spence Field if I recall correctly), the third victim though took us longer to locate and had to be evacuated by chopper.
I heard the Dustin story on another video. They said he was hoping to find hallucinations mushrooms out there. And thinks he probably just bought hallucinations before he left. Not sure why Baller didn't mention that
@@preddowr9597 I don’t know if that would be better though? If there’s only two people I think I would want to be taken first....lolz. If you’re second you’d have to think about what’s coming after you.
This actually kinda makes me want to be aggressively friendly. If I'm going hiking/camping, I'm going to a nearby store first and will make sure they remember me and where I'm going. I am going to detail every moment of my life beforehand and what I'm planning to the poor clerk. That way, if I come up missing, I will have been so annoying and have over shared so much that the nearby store would DEFINITELY remember me. 😅
Not just the clerk now knows every detail that you spit out but so does everyone around that could overhear. Watch some more of his videos, a lot of people with bad intentions take opportunity for easy prey. It is possible to make yourself easy to remember, loud, overly friendly etc. without giving away a bunch of personal details to perfect strangers. Instead tell a trusted loved one where you’ll be.
The last story reminded me of an experience I had. I was doing Advanced Individual Training (AIT) in the army back in the summer of 1991 at Redstone Arsenal, AL. My platoon was doing land navigation training exercises in the forest and had separate into squads to work on our objectives. It was a hot, bright, sunny day and the woods were alive with sounds...crickets, cicadas, birds, squirrels, etc. The noise was incredibly loud. My squad was moving along from point to point on the topographical map and recording our progress. At around midday, we were walking up this short hill and reached the flat top of it, about 50 meters across, when we noticed that all sounds had stopped. We were in an old-growth section of the forest that had gone completely silent. And it wasn't a normal silence. It was almost like the silence in one of those hearing test chambers. We could hear each others' voices, but they seemed to fall completely flat...no echoes whatsoever. We looked around and there were probably a dozen or so depressions in the ground scattered around us that were around 6 feet long, 2-3 feet wide, and maybe 6-8 inches deep. To me, they looked as if they were maybe very old graves that had sunken in. I was never able to find any information about them later, nor do I know if they had anything to do with what followed. In what seemed like a very sudden event, we were all overcome with this intense sleepiness. It hit us all at once. We could not hold ourselves up any longer, so we just lied down on the ground and immediately fell asleep. I think it was about 30 min later when I was awakened by a cheeky squirrel throwing acorns at my head out of the tree I was under. The sounds had returned. Everyone sort of came to at the same time, and we just got up and continued on our way. I would have to say that's one of the strangest things I have ever experienced, and I have no explanation for any of it.
"Ranger graves" are hasty 1-2 man fighting positions, a dozen or so being a typical squad sized element. Very common in a military training area. Can't speak to the rest of it though other than being sleepy in basic/ait is also not that strange haha!
@@danielpulley3891 Ok, thanks for the info. It makes sense given the hilltop position I guess, even if there didn't appear to be any displaced soil. But the sleepiness was not a typical AIT thing. It was literally irresistible. I never get that way, and I was very young back then, and 5 or 6 guys all at once? I think we all had our hair standing on end after that experience.
@@DoubleplusUngoodthinkful Just a theory, but if the humidity, temperature, and the aforementioned "Ranger Graves" spacing were just right it would be the cause of the almost noise canceling effect. The heat and the baffling of noise would also be a cause to have the massive fatigue. Again, just a theory of what may have caused the phenomenon you experienced.
Really interesting story about the woman who saw a blurry, "saran-wrap" image! Thanks for covering this. I really enjoy the way you tell stories--animated, energetic, and great hand gestures! :)
When I first heard of missing 411, my friend had shown me a documentary where they cover a couple of the stories and explain the details of what makes a missing 411 case and that story was the last story on the documentary and I thought the same thing! Really strange why this story get lumped in with the rest.... perhaps a nudge towards what they think could be causing some of these stories?
They include situations which might be evidence of some unexplained beings. The implication is that those beings might be responsible for missing people.
Yeah they said he was hit by a tree ok like dude said why would all the clothes be neatly spread out eerily near his skull and femur bones if it was a “ tree” also if he got hit by that tree wouldn’t there be more remains than just his a couple bones ? surely they would’ve have found him around that area before… sketchy af an trippy af especially for that hunter that’s some horror movie shit with the crow
Oppression and tyranny presented as a virus along with wearing a mask that has been proven useless and non scientific causing more harm than good isn't your favorite? Hmmm guess I'm alone on that. th-cam.com/video/GuhAKXQTc04/w-d-xo.html
In terms of the immediate circumstances of Dustin's death, it's a perfect example of the common, but paradoxical, behaviour of someone experiencing hypothermia. As one's blood begins to move to the core regions of their body to keep the vitals warm while feeling is simultaneously being lost in the extremities, they can mistake the sensations associated with these processes with overheating, convincing their hypothermic mind that it's a good idea to strip. Combined with this is an extremely primitive mammalian response to hypothermia called "terminal burrowing" or "hide-and-die syndrome." In our ancestors it likely served a purpose, but now it leads to people who have lost heating in their homes being found naked under their beds or in closets, or in Dustin's unfortunate case, in a hole in the ground in a highly disturbing, primordial attempt to escape the cold. The circumstances that led him to that point, however, I have no explanation for.
As opposed to staying in the warmth of his nearby truck? Or using the supplies he packed? Or lighting a fire with the abundant woodland nearby? Making wacky theories is fine but you gotta respect the details given not just inject cavemanology bias into it. His own family couldn’t understand why he would do that, the search & rescue were confused as to why there was no camp or why he didn’t stay in his car and his ex reported him fearful of a stalker. All that kinda suggests the typical 411 anomalous third party not the ancient ancestral jam your head in a hole to warm up remedy.
@@therealdonaldtruth Terminal burrowing is a real and fairly well-documented phenomenon. Most likely he only stuck his head in because he could only fit his head in. As for why he left his truck, he said that he believed someone was following him. It's possible he had become paranoid, either because someone actually was following him or simply because he believed they were, and didn't want to set up camp or light a fire in case they managed to locate him due to the fire. If someone was following him they likely lost him at some point and eventually gave up but Dustin didn't know that and thus kept wandering until his death. There could be another explanation but that seems like a very likely one to me.
But he said to his girlfriend on the phone that some person was trying to attack him. Also some of his belongings were not found. So, it's possible that someone was behind his death.
I believe her. My dad and I were on our way to meet my mother for lunch one day back in 1997, we both saw an “invisible” entity- it looked like heat vapors, completely invisible but, also completely outlined, noticeable and detailed. We will never forget it and still talk about it to this day!
@Witty Witty I doubt you make up wild stories to seek attention, especially if its hard to explain other than how it was just now. People like you tend to not believe things that eventually come true like the idiots who thought Earth was flat just to be proven wrong lol
i believe you, but i found the best way to start the "unbelievable" convo is "fat air". Everyone at some point has set something down turned away and it Vanished, Gone, "it didn't disappear into thin air" but we all know this one and it makes you feel crazy. then you can tell the crazier stories with more confidence, and get more stories in return. but again i do believe you
@@bluenightfury4365 Do you actually believe that people dont make up wild stories for attention? lol. Come on now. Nobody is that naive. You must be joking right?
Yep Mr. Ballen's stories will mess you up! I've been sleeping with my light on at night for days. The first 2 nights after bingeing it took me forever to fall asleep. I finally had to limit myself on how late I would watch his stories so that I would have time to watch other stuff like asmr to get my mind off of it! But overall it has been soo worth it!!!
More like its Perfect for not getting any sleep hahahah, I agree though it’s a very nice format and honestly less freaky than the vids w the jump scare images
Thank you Mr Ballen. You are the best storyteller. This batch of 3 stories are mindboggling, comme habitude. What on earth drove Justin to abandon his truck where it was parked. How on earth did he wind up dead, naked, or near naked, with his head in a hole. It's frustrating for me, but what must it be like for the poor families, I can't begin to imagine.
Yep, i live in Northern California in the mountains. Lots of cartels and illegal pot growers. Hell, I've been shot at while driving dirt bikes with friends on federal land. I think a lot of the missing folks could be attributed to the local cartels.
@@ateosedm5690 you are fucking insane for staying there. Lived here all 20 years haven't had 1 bad thing happen and after watching this video, and many other death videos I'm paranoid af
@@beamills9205 what if some sick person made him strip down, took his stuff, and made him burry his own head at gun point? And I guess walked 9 miles into some trees to do it
When I was a child I found a toad stuck in a street drain croaking and in distress. I flagged two little boys I didn't know and asked them to lower me into the drain. They held my feet and lowered me into the narrow drain, my whole body length in I grabbed Mr toad and they pulled me back. Today I still think of the horrific end if those two boys had lost their grip, it was straight down and full of water.
I use to go caving back when i was a teen in the mountains of Ohio. Some of those entrances were as big as football stadiums and other ways to get to another was just big enough to lay on your stomach and wiggle. God if i got stuck,i still go what was i thinking. Those caves were 60 degrees while the outside was snowing at -10 degrees.
In the last story, Jan did get a photo of what she was looking at, but the problem is the microchip in the Blackberry wasn't powerful enough to figure out what it was seeing. The distortion was of some *thing* or some *one* bending light around themselves, so what the camera picked up was the light refracting and fracturing around the moving object/subject. Had she held a regular camera, she would've gotten a motion blur similar to what you might see in the Predator movies. Even a video would've been better due partially to the fact that the camera would have time to figure out the proper resolution.
When people die of hypothermia they feel a really hot sensation which cause them to shed some clothes. Because of that a lot of hypothermia victims are thought to be victims of sexual assault
There is also an hypothesis that in the very last moments of consciousness, people dig/seek out holes or nooks to hide in. They call it terminal burrowing. This in relation to the Dustin Self story.
I read something once about the McCandless story, and you're actually right on both counts. He did eat poisonous berries, they made him weak and unable to move & also exacerbated the starvation process leading to death.
You're a clown, stop acting like you know what you are talking about when you clearly don't. You weren't there, neither was anybody else. Nobody knows exactly what happened; only GUESSES. Even after his body was found, nobody knew whether or not he died of starvation or poisonous berries.
It was more than how you put it plainly.. it’s about discovering nature on a level you can’t comprehend.. the feeling of complete freedom being out in the wild is a feeling you can’t find anywhere but that place.
probably as a city person, he would think country and even wild would be better than current situation he was in, cutting off those annoying human connection and be one with the wild its just common _greener grass_ case but in actuallity, living in a wild with NO IDEA what you are doing, like what kind of community you would had, is just homeless and got stranded with extra step
Beginning to wonder if removing clothing is a true symptom of hypothermia...what if it is made up just to give some kind of explanation? Those that have died of hypothermia can’t tell you.
I've been watching your videos every single day for the last couple of weeks. I love the fact all the stories are true. Keep doing you Mr ballen you are a great story teller and very authentic 🙌
Or something could have been chasing him seeing as his tracks stopped and he was seen with not scrapes on his feet but he had no boots on, a giant bird could have been chasing him I don’t mean like, a vulture or something I mean something bigger that we as humans haven’t discovered yet. So the bird could have picked him up and dropped him off at the top of the hill
@@theTrend7 Dylan and Brianna both died right after leaving the same party house - and the habitants of that house and the house itself weren't investigated!? This just SCREAMS small town coverup. And Brianna saying "I won't keep quiet anymore" along with how the murderers put Dylans head in a hole so he couldnt see/hear anything seems like a pretty obvious indicator that there's a plethora of foul play and that something MASSIVELY fishy - and illegal - is going on in that town. FBI needs to get in there and do some real investigating ASAP.
@@WyspyMyst I do belive we have yet to discover all life on this planet and even belive it's possible we have interdimensinal creatures and or beings visiting us on our plane but giant bird being responsible for his death is highly unlikely seeing as how his body was discovered man. Also birds wouldn't leave prey behind uneaten specially if it's large empty to snatch a full grown man and fly off with him. But again I do belive there is much more to this world/universe than meets the eye so your hypothesis as crazy as it sounds to me could be the exact right one. So I won't rule it out completely just because we don't know and maybe never will but I think he was simply murdered by some assholes who as it sounds have done it multiple times and it's a small town cover up dilly.
The stories are fascinating, but what is just as impressive is Mr. Ballens superb ability as a storyteller. Just enough detail to paint an incredible picture but not too much to slow or impede the tension and growing wonder. Cheers.

The lesson here should be if you find yourself in a strange situation where you call a loved one in a panic, immediately tell them exactly where you are in great detail and tell them what strange crap is going on.
It must make it worse for the person they call, so near but still destined for termination. I have the books, its the weirdest stuff I have ever read, truth is stranger than fiction, but why are the authorities trying to keep it quiet?

Did anyone notice, the case of Dustin, that he never mentioned the people chasing after Dustin again. And that the people only talked about theories of how he died but never, who were those people.
personally i think he was quite literally bullied to death and made to walk home in embarrassment and he instead died of hyperthermia since he was drunk underage and probably didnt know how to handle himself too well from the inexperience. however i also believe the case was quickly rushed close because the child's death wasnt intentional by his attackers and the attackers belong to a high standing family in the town. instead of hating the possible attackers i feel lots of anger toward the mother. she knew her son, underage, was drunk at night walking down the side of the road to a gas station of all places. knowing this, when her son called for a 2nd time in distress, she decides to just say "i'll be there in a minute" and he hangs up the phone. yea, she should've told her son to STAY on the phone. personally i wouldve told my son to do that the first time he called simply because he is a minor who is drunk and going to be walking down a used road at fucking night time. like come the fuck on.
There are many cases like this, I read some of Paulides' books. While talking on a cell they never describe what these people look like prior to going missing as they are being chased. Interesting. Thanks to Mr. Ballen for his stories.

These 411 stories have made me a believer in inter-dimensional travel, I feel like they choose to appear in forests because of the lack of electrical/magnetic interference.
The third story sounds like the wife came across the Predator while trying to take a picture of him when he was on camouflage mode!! She's lucky that the Predator didn't consider her an opponent worth battling!!
The story is part of the Amazon Prime documentary Missing 411: The Hunted (good watch if you have Prime) and they described it as being like the movie Predator.
My brother was dropped off drunk right in front of our house once and got lost walking. It can happen if you are really drunk even if you know the area. He walked right passed us and was picked up 6 miles away
My husband went to the neighbors once while drunk...scared her to death. Next day we all laughed it off.But this can be a terrifying experience.I also had it happen to me.🙈🙈
Yea it definetly can happen. I tried going in the wrong apartment building and trying to unluck someone elses door, bc i was drunk :S and another time i got told was when my Nephew and his friend dropped me off 3 mins walk from my House, But they took me inside the car again when they realized i was walking the wrong way
When the woods go silent, it's not a good sign. Whenever out in the woods, be very observant of your surroundings and if it gets quiet, seek shelter/prep your weapon/prepare to run because the wildlife sees something you haven't yet.
@@marce4241 If you are a human and you are in the woods to purposely kill something, you might just make the woods go silent when you actively begin "the hunt". At that point, you are the big predator that all the wildlife notices.
Thank you John always love your content 💕 David Politis 411 missing is incredible. The more he investigates, the more strange cases he finds. He's strictly authentic, an ex policeman. He states the facts of the cases backed up by overwhelming evidence. It's great that John is spreading some of these disappearances. People should pay attention. Jen is a good example of what others have experienced.
The story with the hunter came across something that was blurry and looked like heat rising off of the pavement was interesting. I was watching a show called Mountain Monsters a couple of years ago. One of the guys in the group was talking to a cameraman. His nickname is Huckleberry and they are all from West Virginia and they were out in the forest. He told the cameraman that something has been following them for a while now. He described it as being blurry and looked like heat rising off of pavement. I was so shocked when I heard you read off the exact same thing. I just thought you might want to know about it. I love your channel, keep up the great job you're already doing. :)
The description reminds me of the video where you see a soldier wearing cloaking “camouflage”. The basically seem to have disappeared, but you can see the outline of the soldier if you knew where he had been standing.Otherwise they are invisible.
Dude. I’m from West Virginia, and I’ve seen one of the see through distorted people many times. My husband calls it his demon that he picked up at his childhood home in the forest of WV. It follows us every time we move. It’ll be quiet for a few months. Then we’ll start seeing it outside around the house. Then eventually it comes into the new house and weird stuff will happen, usually electrical issues or stuff going missing. We’ve been together almost 13 years and this thing has followed us everywhere we’ve lived in WV and VA. My sister in law blessed our new house though and we haven’t seen it here yet.

I think he was running away from an attacker and went to the hill because of the trees to hide but got lost and passed out from exhaustion + him being drunk caused his death from hypothermia. Wind can cover up the footprints with snow. animals picked up his pants and shoes possibly using them for nests
@@consciousobserver629 I think Dillan was taken and murdered by somebody in authority, explaining the cover up.
Regarding the last story you told about the (almost) invisible creature, I have been researching many stories regarding this phenomenon. It is collectively known as the Glimmer Man. This thing is real. There was a group of people playing music by a river who all witnessed the same thing. “It looked like the heat coming off the road on a summer day”.
I think what you saw was The Predator starring Arnold Swarzenegger.
I'm not even remotely interested in conspiracy theories. That said, the gov't has essentially said, "Yeah those ufo sightings by military pilots are something .... unidentifiable."

I hike all the time by myself and go pretty deep into the woods of Ohio, Maine, California and several other states. One thing I've learned over the years is that if you are in the woods and everything is deadly silent with no signs of wildlife you need to leave immediately. You are not necessarily in danger but bad things seem to happen when people push on after noticing the unnatural stillness.
What is the difference between pushing on and leaving? You're moving in a direction in both.
@@ReptillianStrike really 🤦♂️ If you are leaving you are heading back in the general direction you came from hence back to “safety”
Adam Schmidt, ive heard about the strange things that happen during the unnatural silence and stillness, out of curiosity have u ever experienced this yourself or personally know ppl who have?
You're really brave
@@glenakatsr it's not as obvious as you think. A large predator could be coming up behind you on the path you took, or coming onto you from your side. Turning around isn't always the safest option.
Always, always, always tell people where you are going and when you will be back if you are going into the wilderness. This was the golden rule when I lived in Alaska and we never deviated. So many people live their whole lives in this country with a false sense of safety, never realizing they’re sitting comfortably at the edge of chaos...
👍ok👍
i will remember
Sadly, in most modern education facilities these days topics like self awareness, letting friends or family know where you’re going, carrying some water and maybe something to eat, even items like alternate communication devices, is not taught and even not spoken about.
I only spent 3yrs in the Boy Scouts when I was young, but those lessons have stayed with me.
I have never agreed with something so much
@@realaussiemale567 What the fuck do you mean "sadly?" Name a nation that uses public education too teach common sense/Basic family teachings. Its sad the PARENTS dont understand shit.
Mr. Ballen is the most detailed story teller to the point I can see it actually happening in my mind. He keeps you intrigued. Some stories are sad, but deserve attention. Almost like paying respect.
I especially appreciate the respectful manner in which you do give us the whole story and don’t leave out the pets ❤ 😊
Soooo....the coroner, who attends at least 6 years of specialized schooling, JUST to determine cause of death, time of death, and manner of death, says its foul play...and people with zero specialized schooling fire him for doing his job and disagree? Nothing to see here folks
Sounds like he got kidnapped at the gas station raped murdered then dumped there somehow maybe from a road above or a small plane. 2nd story sounds like same person did the crime
@@donnacsuti4980 It's also possible that the assailants covered up all the footprints that had been left in the snow so that no one could follow the footprints to Dylan's body or to the culprits.
In a lot of counties like mine, the coroner is elected. The medical examiner performs all the specialized testing
@@justinpowell3174 Yes, I'm aware that is the process in many places, my county included. I was referring to the video stating the "coroner" made the distinction of cause of death, not the medical examiner, with is why I composed my comment the way I did.

lol I was gonna say the same!!
Predator, for sure!
Definitely!
The person found naked with his head in the ground seems to me to be suffering from hypothermia (paradoxical undressing) and the reason he was found with his head in the dirt is because a feature of final-stage hypothermia is terminal burrowing, or "hide & die syndrome".
I'm wondering if he was on meth though too.
Serious??. I have to look THAT up. Burrowing as a symptom
That would explain many stories on this channel, like why soldier hide to crack in boulder on that winter island etc.. Profound discovery, at least to me. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypothermia#Paradoxical_undressing

A person can cause that
@day dazed what do you mean
If it gets quite then you could here whatever it is move, especially a person!
@day dazed Lol, for hunters it's not abnormal for us to be in complete silence. But there's mostly always some kind of natural sounds happening, a single leaf fluttering around on the tree, a squirrel or chipmunk jumping through leaves or snow, or just the wind itself. You have to admit, sometimes when all of it suddenly ceases, it can be a tad creepy. Lol. Exceptionally calming, but every once and a blue moon, it can be weird. Like you're being watched. Which, I have spotted other hunters and watched them in my binoculars for a short time...hence why I probably feel watched occasionally, you never know when somebody has you in their sights. Or something..lol..the Missing 411 really makes you wonder.
Well some of my expierence in the forrest when a predator is near some animals will make more noise alerting other animals that a predator is near.

That last story is so weird! I remember something similar happened to me once when I was out at night in the middle of the desert. I remember that we were walking down this path, and I suddenly felt the urge to stop and stare at one particular direction, not even knowing why. I was slightly scared, but not enough to tell the others, and I just felt something was out there, so I took out my phone and took a picture... but it came out *really* weird. I was only able to see the cactus directly in front of me, but they were enveloped in this weird rainbow-y light, like there were red, blue and yellow rays coming from somewhere to my right, but everything was in complete darkness.
I took another picture, thinking maybe my finger had gotten in the way, but it came out the same. I even took off my phone case, but to no avail; according to my phone, there was some kind of light comming from somewhere even if I couldn't see it.
I'm thankful I wasn't alone that night, and that I was relatively close to civilization, because otherwise idk what could've happened.
When you bite the hot pocket but don't get all the way through the ham and when you pull back you pull out the ham and then it falls on your lip and scalds your lips so much that they blister. That is the biggest hot pocket injury possible.

But luckily, a lot of these entities seem "allergic" to being videoed! They seem to leave the area if you do that, Bigfoots and ETs included. Best self defence against the bastard things? Take a picture!.🙂
I do believe this story to be true, btw.
I was thinking Predator technology also.
I was abt to say that😂
I definitely thought of the movie Predator. One of MrBallen's videos popped up onto my home screen about 2 weeks ago, I watched that video, watched a couple more after that then immediately subscribed to his channel. Watching his videos has become a nightly ritual now 😊. He's such a fantastic storyteller!
Methinks she had a moment, maybe a mental freakout or break of some sort. We don't know her mental health history but could play. The camera can output a picture at pretty much any arbitrary aspect ratio. The resolution thing is kind a red herring, the app is just giving you three options. So she might have had another camera app on her phone or used a different app that also made use of the camera and took the picture using that while she was incapacitated and didn't realize it. Maybe a game camera app was used to take the picture, those will use low resolutions. As for the picture itself, low light, maybe the lens was covered but it was definitely taken with a slow shutter speed judging by the streaks in it. Nothing remarkable about it really.
If the camera settings can be accessed by app programmers they could tell the camera to take a picture at any resolution that the camera sensor supports, which will be waaay more than just 3. Typically.
The light in the forest her nephew saw, almost certainly just a person with a flashlight walking around. It was the evening after all. Reason the instructor got spooked was because of the strange person in the woods with a flash light stalking around near school grounds. Reason it happened the year before, same guy likes the seasonal weather of the time of year and also enjoys going out into the woods.
Her scientist husband? He is just being a good husband and supporting his wife anyway he can.
Sadly, I think the story might be more of a story mental decline in older age rather than of Predator roaming through the forest of oregon, stalking and toying with potential pray. For everyone involved in that story, I think they'd rather it was Predator.

I listen to them while drawing and doing chores.
Dylan Parker's death seems like something much more sinister was going on there, especially after the medical examiner was fired so viciously. They're probably covering up some murderer there.
In my opinion, the only explanation is alien abduction
@@alsimonuk Maybe not something as Ludacris as that, but something clearly was off about how Dylan died, I mean zero tracks whatsoever by the body or even leading to or away from it on that mountain, David was right to question what the police were doing with the case as it seemed like they were sweeping it under the rug as they didn't immediately have any clues to determine the cause of death. But I think that's where the police were also trying to sweep it under the rug as now, they have the equipment to detect harmful substances inside someone's blood, which I believe during 2014 was when that tech was either already fully incorporated into police stations for that very purpose or was just beginning to get around, if that station had that tech they could have taken a sample of his blood to see if there were any harmful substances in his blood.
They know he was drunk or at least tipsy but parties also tend to have at least that ONE PERSON smuggle drugs into the party and spike a few drinks with those drugs and Dylan might have been under the effects of those drugs if they had an extremely strong dose, perhaps enough to where he just started thrashing around which could explain why there were no tracks, which was why his pants and boots could have been removed from his person especially if that was done when he reached where he was found or at least up in a tree somewhere.
Add in brianna cook also went to a party at the same house in osborn roughly 3 months prior then died by hanging herself at her fsthers house after leaving the party angry.
Ashely sullivan also hung herself a few months after dylans death and apprantly knew them both..
It is much more sinister than they are letting off. Not too long after he died another girl he was with "hung" herself, she couldn't tie a knot by herself and everyone that knew her knew that. There is a lot of unanswered questions surrounding this case. I live in the area and know many people who knew Dylan personally.

Thank you

You mean the Predator from Predator
@@XavierMaster568 which is an alien...
Exactly what came to mind for me also. Predator 1, before it developed a taste for Rastas .
There’s an interview with this woman somewhere, Maybe it’s in one of the 411 films, or with David Paulides. She talks about how she could “see” it moving and grasping branches that were farther away than anything with normal appendages could get to. Like this shimmering holographic being would reach out and then the “arm” would stretch out and lengthen to reach the next tree, which would dip down towards this creature. And this happened well before the “Predator” films came out. Really creepy.
Predator was released in 1987, Blackberry’s came out in 1999.
It was 'The Hunted", missing 411 documentary. The lady said she saw it reach over and climb on to another tree that was 12 feet away from the tree it was already on.
Then she took pictures, and the shot she took of it came out in a resolution her camera didn't have an option for. This isn't the first time I've heard of digital equipment malfunctioning when trying to capture something weird.
I think film would be immune to that interference. It's a chemical medium and therefore should be less prone to scrambling. But the chances of someone being out when they notice something odd, and having a film camera on them instead of digital is probably almost non existent.
Its in the MISSING 411 THE HUNTED..documentry
@macatac14 yeas...it eas the 411 Missing 411 The Hunted..documentry
I try to be as open minded as possible, but the fact that the ONE PHOTO she was able capture of this thing JUST HAPPENS to be distorted, 99% lens flare, and a smaller aspect ratio. Why would the aspect ratio change? I think she was just looking for something to talk with her husband about because he was all into this shit.
Watched this last night and heard “Dustin Self” and was totally shocked. It’s been almost a decade since he left. We both went to the same school and he was by far the best skater out of all of us. RIP Audio!

Listening to the story about Dustin I immediately remembered a fellow I rescued in the Smokey's a number of years ago, he was acutely hypothermic and having lost much of his cognitive ability he stripped nude believing he was overheating and took shelter under what he thought was a large rock outcropping. In reality when I found him he was on the summit of the mountain (Either Thunder Head or Rocky Top, I can't remember atm), nude, and pressed up against a small bolder covering only his head and face with the rest of his body exposed to a constant icy mist.
Did he make it?
@@Zorro9129 Yeah, we carried him down to a nearby AT trail shelter where some backpackers took over caring for him while we went back out to locate and care for another couple victims. That first fellow was later evacuated by horseback along with his brother in law who we also were able to bring to the same shelter (Spence Field if I recall correctly), the third victim though took us longer to locate and had to be evacuated by chopper.
I heard the Dustin story on another video. They said he was hoping to find hallucinations mushrooms out there. And thinks he probably just bought hallucinations before he left. Not sure why Baller didn't mention that
LMFAO this was exactly what I was looking for. The comments section is the ultimate detective.
Now that you mention it I often heared that hypothermic people start removing their clothes

Go with people that are also slower than you
This actually kinda makes me want to be aggressively friendly. If I'm going hiking/camping, I'm going to a nearby store first and will make sure they remember me and where I'm going. I am going to detail every moment of my life beforehand and what I'm planning to the poor clerk. That way, if I come up missing, I will have been so annoying and have over shared so much that the nearby store would DEFINITELY remember me. 😅
😆
Not a horrible idea especially if the manager is there and you can catch them to hassle about it
Not smart...the clerk will know where yu are. Easy prey
Not just the clerk now knows every detail that you spit out but so does everyone around that could overhear. Watch some more of his videos, a lot of people with bad intentions take opportunity for easy prey. It is possible to make yourself easy to remember, loud, overly friendly etc. without giving away a bunch of personal details to perfect strangers. Instead tell a trusted loved one where you’ll be.
FUNNY!! FOR SURE FOR SURE!!🤣🤣
The last story reminded me of an experience I had. I was doing Advanced Individual Training (AIT) in the army back in the summer of 1991 at Redstone Arsenal, AL. My platoon was doing land navigation training exercises in the forest and had separate into squads to work on our objectives. It was a hot, bright, sunny day and the woods were alive with sounds...crickets, cicadas, birds, squirrels, etc. The noise was incredibly loud. My squad was moving along from point to point on the topographical map and recording our progress.
At around midday, we were walking up this short hill and reached the flat top of it, about 50 meters across, when we noticed that all sounds had stopped. We were in an old-growth section of the forest that had gone completely silent. And it wasn't a normal silence. It was almost like the silence in one of those hearing test chambers. We could hear each others' voices, but they seemed to fall completely flat...no echoes whatsoever. We looked around and there were probably a dozen or so depressions in the ground scattered around us that were around 6 feet long, 2-3 feet wide, and maybe 6-8 inches deep. To me, they looked as if they were maybe very old graves that had sunken in. I was never able to find any information about them later, nor do I know if they had anything to do with what followed.
In what seemed like a very sudden event, we were all overcome with this intense sleepiness. It hit us all at once. We could not hold ourselves up any longer, so we just lied down on the ground and immediately fell asleep. I think it was about 30 min later when I was awakened by a cheeky squirrel throwing acorns at my head out of the tree I was under. The sounds had returned. Everyone sort of came to at the same time, and we just got up and continued on our way. I would have to say that's one of the strangest things I have ever experienced, and I have no explanation for any of it.
"Ranger graves" are hasty 1-2 man fighting positions, a dozen or so being a typical squad sized element. Very common in a military training area. Can't speak to the rest of it though other than being sleepy in basic/ait is also not that strange haha!
@@danielpulley3891 Ok, thanks for the info. It makes sense given the hilltop position I guess, even if there didn't appear to be any displaced soil.
But the sleepiness was not a typical AIT thing. It was literally irresistible. I never get that way, and I was very young back then, and 5 or 6 guys all at once? I think we all had our hair standing on end after that experience.
@@DoubleplusUngoodthinkful Just a theory, but if the humidity, temperature, and the aforementioned "Ranger Graves" spacing were just right it would be the cause of the almost noise canceling effect.
The heat and the baffling of noise would also be a cause to have the massive fatigue.
Again, just a theory of what may have caused the phenomenon you experienced.
@@reverendfatheruncleruckus interesting theory, but when we came to, it was noisy again.

Pradator.
The scary thing about this video, is that the last story has nothing to do with missing people being found in impossible places.
Bro it was a 100% cover up right
When I first heard of missing 411, my friend had shown me a documentary where they cover a couple of the stories and explain the details of what makes a missing 411 case and that story was the last story on the documentary and I thought the same thing! Really strange why this story get lumped in with the rest.... perhaps a nudge towards what they think could be causing some of these stories?
It sounds like Jan was watching too many Predator movies.
They include situations which might be evidence of some unexplained beings. The implication is that those beings might be responsible for missing people.
Yeah they said he was hit by a tree ok like dude said why would all the clothes be neatly spread out eerily near his skull and femur bones if it was a “ tree” also if he got hit by that tree wouldn’t there be more remains than just his a couple bones ? surely they would’ve have found him around that area before… sketchy af an trippy af especially for that hunter that’s some horror movie shit with the crow

I've been listening to stories from different channels and Mr Ballen is by far the best storyteller in TH-cam.
In terms of the immediate circumstances of Dustin's death, it's a perfect example of the common, but paradoxical, behaviour of someone experiencing hypothermia. As one's blood begins to move to the core regions of their body to keep the vitals warm while feeling is simultaneously being lost in the extremities, they can mistake the sensations associated with these processes with overheating, convincing their hypothermic mind that it's a good idea to strip. Combined with this is an extremely primitive mammalian response to hypothermia called "terminal burrowing" or "hide-and-die syndrome." In our ancestors it likely served a purpose, but now it leads to people who have lost heating in their homes being found naked under their beds or in closets, or in Dustin's unfortunate case, in a hole in the ground in a highly disturbing, primordial attempt to escape the cold. The circumstances that led him to that point, however, I have no explanation for.
Amazing thoughts! Thank you!
I was thinking the same thing, seems very plausible to me actually.
As opposed to staying in the warmth of his nearby truck? Or using the supplies he packed? Or lighting a fire with the abundant woodland nearby? Making wacky theories is fine but you gotta respect the details given not just inject cavemanology bias into it. His own family couldn’t understand why he would do that, the search & rescue were confused as to why there was no camp or why he didn’t stay in his car and his ex reported him fearful of a stalker. All that kinda suggests the typical 411 anomalous third party not the ancient ancestral jam your head in a hole to warm up remedy.
@@therealdonaldtruth Terminal burrowing is a real and fairly well-documented phenomenon. Most likely he only stuck his head in because he could only fit his head in. As for why he left his truck, he said that he believed someone was following him. It's possible he had become paranoid, either because someone actually was following him or simply because he believed they were, and didn't want to set up camp or light a fire in case they managed to locate him due to the fire. If someone was following him they likely lost him at some point and eventually gave up but Dustin didn't know that and thus kept wandering until his death. There could be another explanation but that seems like a very likely one to me.
But he said to his girlfriend on the phone that some person was trying to attack him. Also some of his belongings were not found. So, it's possible that someone was behind his death.
I believe her.
My dad and I were on our way to meet my mother for lunch one day back in 1997, we both saw an “invisible” entity- it looked like heat vapors, completely invisible but, also completely outlined, noticeable and detailed. We will never forget it and still talk about it to this day!
@Witty Witty I doubt you make up wild stories to seek attention, especially if its hard to explain other than how it was just now. People like you tend to not believe things that eventually come true like the idiots who thought Earth was flat just to be proven wrong lol
i believe you, but i found the best way to start the "unbelievable" convo is "fat air". Everyone at some point has set something down turned away and it Vanished, Gone, "it didn't disappear into thin air" but we all know this one and it makes you feel crazy. then you can tell the crazier stories with more confidence, and get more stories in return. but again i do believe you

In the last story, Jan did get a photo of what she was looking at, but the problem is the microchip in the Blackberry wasn't powerful enough to figure out what it was seeing. The distortion was of some *thing* or some *one* bending light around themselves, so what the camera picked up was the light refracting and fracturing around the moving object/subject. Had she held a regular camera, she would've gotten a motion blur similar to what you might see in the Predator movies. Even a video would've been better due partially to the fact that the camera would have time to figure out the proper resolution.

When people die of hypothermia they feel a really hot sensation which cause them to shed some clothes. Because of that a lot of hypothermia victims are thought to be victims of sexual assault
Omg yes totally forgot that
Yeah whenever i touch a cold item for long time it gets hot, so i guess its like that
There is also an hypothesis that in the very last moments of consciousness, people dig/seek out holes or nooks to hide in. They call it terminal burrowing. This in relation to the Dustin Self story.
I thought that’s what he possibly could have been a victim of
Yeah but still what about the tracks? I believe everything you said but how would her burrow himself in if there’s no tracks to get there
Dustin is clearly scared, says people are after him, his phone cuts out, and they wait until the next day to call the police? wtf
Sound like government cover up
I read something once about the McCandless story, and you're actually right on both counts. He did eat poisonous berries, they made him weak and unable to move & also exacerbated the starvation process leading to death.
You're a clown, stop acting like you know what you are talking about when you clearly don't. You weren't there, neither was anybody else. Nobody knows exactly what happened; only GUESSES.
Even after his body was found, nobody knew whether or not he died of starvation or poisonous berries.

@@WyspyMyst I do belive we have yet to discover all life on this planet and even belive it's possible we have interdimensinal creatures and or beings visiting us on our plane but giant bird being responsible for his death is highly unlikely seeing as how his body was discovered man.

But again I do belive there is much more to this world/universe than meets the eye so your hypothesis as crazy as it sounds to me could be the exact right one. So I won't rule it out completely just because we don't know and maybe never will but I think he was simply murdered by some assholes who as it sounds have done it multiple times and it's a small town cover up dilly.

Or that he rang his mum panicking about something but didnt say what was scaring him, surely if someone was there he would of ran towards his mums car not run into forest?? Seems suspicious
Interviewer: Excellent. You seem like a great candidate for the job. We should be calling as soon as we hear from your references.
ME interview candidate: I forgot to ask. Why did the last Medical Examiner leave?
Interviewer: (throws the résumé in the trash) Hmm, seems I was mistaken about offering you the position. Please see yourself out.
I’ve heard a story about that “invisible creature” before. I live in Ohio. Weird things happen in the woods
The husband en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Maccabee
@How Not To do you have a link to that video?
@How Not To I would like to see it too!
Yo, I live in ohio too. Where have you heard about this happening?
I'm in ohio too, not that far of Lake Erie, either... but also, not heard this one.. still, rather interesting story.. so, glad to heard it, now!! I was thinking the scariest places are either, many remote areas, like in West Virginia or them overly crowded one's..🤔. But guess, ohio is getting crowded, anyways. Well, that Ohio, might be one place of not so many, alien abuductions, or much crazy happenings, about!! Lol... maybe, UFO's passing by, just not abductions, though... maybe, a hairy giant but, doubt it even, stuck around! Lol 🤔..
Jan picking up her phone instead of instead of her crossbow is astonishing.
What about the fact that apparently she's hunting right next to a school?
@@ThomasSawyers people where I live hunt nex to the school all the time and almost inside the town and a phone is more dangerous the any weapon
@@jrmartinez6783 okay, I'm not going to try to reason with you, because you just said that you think a phone is more dangerous than a projectile firing device. Get off the internet, you seem like the type to think that chemtrails are real, and if you think that then the internet is tracking you and poisoning you. It's super weird that you think a phone is more dangerous than a weapon, but fine I understand that there's people who are insane in the world and I don't want to talk to you anymore considering that fact because I genuinely consider you insane.
@@ThomasSawyers I been sarcastic my friend because anyone in danger the first thing they do is try to defend themselves and having a gun will be the first ting to use and no I don't believe earth is flat or the government is poison us
@@ThomasSawyers I been sarcastic but anyway who believes on chamtrails and the government poisoning us lol I dint know anyone really believes the crap but I know wear shit happen in the woods but some people take advantage of the situation to gane atencion because if anyone with a weapon is in danger the last thing they would grab is a freaking phone
Did anyone notice, the case of Dustin, that he never mentioned the people chasing after Dustin again. And that the people only talked about theories of how he died but never, who were those people.
personally i think he was quite literally bullied to death and made to walk home in embarrassment and he instead died of hyperthermia since he was drunk underage and probably didnt know how to handle himself too well from the inexperience. however i also believe the case was quickly rushed close because the child's death wasnt intentional by his attackers and the attackers belong to a high standing family in the town.
instead of hating the possible attackers i feel lots of anger toward the mother. she knew her son, underage, was drunk at night walking down the side of the road to a gas station of all places. knowing this, when her son called for a 2nd time in distress, she decides to just say "i'll be there in a minute" and he hangs up the phone. yea, she should've told her son to STAY on the phone. personally i wouldve told my son to do that the first time he called simply because he is a minor who is drunk and going to be walking down a used road at fucking night time. like come the fuck on.
There are many cases like this, I read some of Paulides' books. While talking on a cell they never describe what these people look like prior to going missing as they are being chased. Interesting. Thanks to Mr. Ballen for his stories.
Is this the one with the head in the dirt? If so i wanna the state of the body like if it was partially eaten some of scavengers dont hibernate
Its fucking crazy
@@myth4020 that’s not the same case, the comment is referring the guy who went out into the wilderness.
It’s crazy how much he uploads, some crazy dedication in these times.
I can't stress enough how glad I am that I found this channel. Mr. Ballen should be a Professor of Weird Shit at some Ivy League school
Christopher spent the entire summer in a school bus. He tried to cross the river but it was running too fast. The bus was moved because people were visiting it and they felt it needed to be moved to prevent another tragedy.
Only channel that I can surely like without even hearing the stories first.
Yes, MR Balls does great work
MR BALLS??!!😂😂
I agree this guy could make the phone book sound interesting
Same
Dr Bruce Maccabee is one of this world's most intelligent people and anything he says or investigates is done with complete honesty and integrity. Im a huge follower of his studies.
@Peter Paul What does that have to do with anything?
Agree 100%
@Peter Paul I thought you said "you're a moron."😂
@Peter Paul Maccabee is a Hebrew name meaning hammer. It came from the Hashmoniaim. The Maccabees fought the Greeks in the story of Hanukkah.
These 411 stories have made me a believer in inter-dimensional travel, I feel like they choose to appear in forests because of the lack of electrical/magnetic interference.
That's a great theory and most of the 411 cases happen near Granite and may
have some kind of magnetic properties or energy fields.
these areas would also be ideal for secret bases while everyone is looking at area 51.
@@llewbach77 true, definitely seems like something is going on that we are unable to comprehend, for now..
There are more things in heaven and earth than we can possibly imagine...
"Tongue scalding Cheese lava flow within"... LMAO, OMG, easily the best one yet... I'm laughing so hard!!!
What's up with All these Cheese lava Flows??.. 😂 I'm missing the Joke lol 😂
The third story sounds like the wife came across the Predator while trying to take a picture of him when he was on camouflage mode!! She's lucky that the Predator didn't consider her an opponent worth battling!!
Maybe it's a fashion monster
That's because she wasn't a threat. If she had shot an arrow at it then they would have found her skinned and hanging from a tree. She was lucky. 😅
Demon.
I was thinking the same thing. Has to be a predator
The story is part of the Amazon Prime documentary Missing 411: The Hunted (good watch if you have Prime) and they described it as being like the movie Predator.
My brother was dropped off drunk right in front of our house once and got lost walking. It can happen if you are really drunk even if you know the area. He walked right passed us and was picked up 6 miles away
I agree. But then I think that there were no footprints.
My husband went to the neighbors once while drunk...scared her to death. Next day we all laughed it off.But this can be a terrifying experience.I also had it happen to me.🙈🙈
@@terriprince5026 time to give up the booze. That’s not normal
Yea it definetly can happen. I tried going in the wrong apartment building and trying to unluck someone elses door, bc i was drunk :S and another time i got told was when my Nephew and his friend dropped me off 3 mins walk from my House, But they took me inside the car again when they realized i was walking the wrong way
“ woman goes hunting”
Predator: What’s goood
One hunter to another how's it going
When the woods go silent, it's not a good sign. Whenever out in the woods, be very observant of your surroundings and if it gets quiet, seek shelter/prep your weapon/prepare to run because the wildlife sees something you haven't yet.
@@NotSoCrazyNinja "i make the woods go silent" that would be a good villain quote.
@@marce4241 If you are a human and you are in the woods to purposely kill something, you might just make the woods go silent when you actively begin "the hunt". At that point, you are the big predator that all the wildlife notices.
What's bicing
Thank you John always love your content 💕 David Politis 411 missing is incredible. The more he investigates, the more strange cases he finds. He's strictly authentic, an ex policeman. He states the facts of the cases backed up by overwhelming evidence. It's great that John is spreading some of these disappearances. People should pay attention. Jen is a good example of what others have experienced.
Legend has it if you get here so early you can see a bunch of idiots saying “first”

“Yeah, but does he respond?”
“Early!”

The story with the hunter came across something that was blurry and looked like heat rising off of the pavement was interesting. I was watching a show called Mountain Monsters a couple of years ago. One of the guys in the group was talking to a cameraman. His nickname is Huckleberry and they are all from West Virginia and they were out in the forest. He told the cameraman that something has been following them for a while now. He described it as being blurry and looked like heat rising off of pavement. I was so shocked when I heard you read off the exact same thing. I just thought you might want to know about it. I love your channel, keep up the great job you're already doing. :)
Don’t take that show seriously it’s obviously completely fake lol.
Your fake
The description reminds me of the video where you see a soldier wearing cloaking “camouflage”. The basically seem to have disappeared, but you can see the outline of the soldier if you knew where he had been standing.Otherwise they are invisible.
I've seen it as well the figure in the forest I hit it with a rock it passed right through it then it vanished at that point
Dude. I’m from West Virginia, and I’ve seen one of the see through distorted people many times. My husband calls it his demon that he picked up at his childhood home in the forest of WV. It follows us every time we move. It’ll be quiet for a few months. Then we’ll start seeing it outside around the house. Then eventually it comes into the new house and weird stuff will happen, usually electrical issues or stuff going missing. We’ve been together almost 13 years and this thing has followed us everywhere we’ve lived in WV and VA. My sister in law blessed our new house though and we haven’t seen it here yet. Knock on wood lol
You should put this on a podcast on spotify or google podcast. It would be really cool to listen strange, dark, and mysterious content at work.
Love the way you tell these stories Mr. Ballen! Really enjoy these.
