I pray it leads them to Immanuel YaHUsHuaH Messiah. He would never require physical sacrifice for forgiveness. Only spiritual. He doesn't need candles and blood. He is the Blood of Life. The Only Way to The Father.
As a Hindu I would like to thank you for covering this case in a balanced manner. Very often when discussing Hinduism, creators add salacious or exotic details. You actually explained Shiva pretty well. I don't know where himu and hansa got this ritual idea though because it is not common to do such rituals and the vast majority of temples only give fruit sacrifices and even animal meat is strictly forbidden in temples. My guess is that they wanted to give a human sacrifice for some gain for their family. Very tragic they ended their lives this way.
@@architbhagat In Nepali Hinduism, animal sacrifices in temples (and even in the home) are very common, especially during the Dashain festival. I didn’t realise these practices were so rare in India.
@Don B If you really are an Airforce Vet then you would have more discipline than what you are displaying and you would have more than 200$ because you get payed as a vet. Keep reaching and begging for sympathy and a hand out instead of actually getting it yourself
This dude is one of a kind, served his country at the most elite level, and now helping individuals and families. The best story teller there is and the most impressive collection of flannels.
my best friend was murdered a few years ago and im kinda selective on the videos i watch about murders and serials killers because as you said at the end of the day its the family and friends who are left behind to pick up the pieces. You are the first content creator that i have seen mention this and offer help to the families. You truly are a kind person ty.
This situation is incredibly sad for the young children. I really hope that they were eventually able to find some kind of peace after what happened. It must be hard not knowing why their parents abandoned them.
@@julierobinson3633True plus they even mentioned in their letter that they wanted their children to be heavily looked after by family they trust even left them their at their house to hopefully not stumble upon their bodies
@@julierobinson3633 absolute facts. My mother took three of my baby sisters lives before killing herself. Had she just taken hers I would not hold a drop of animosity towards her - and would miss her. Instead, I think of her death as the best thing she ever did for me.
It's way more than most channels do. Atleast he's helping the ones where his stories come from. I haven't noticed very many channels doing this, if any!
Man I feel so bad for those kids, they came home to see their parents dead in the most gruesome way and never even got an explanation. I know the parents probably did this ritual hoping for luck/wealth/a better life for their children, but the only thing they got is lifetime trauma
Mr. Ballen is so freaking good at telling stories. I can’t imagine the horror of the poor children who discovered their parents in the shrine. Thank you John for all you do, much respect sir!
I am not someone who has ever really been scared of death.When my kids were growing up I always hoped if I ended up being murdered please don't let them find me. My son even though he is an adult now he would never be able to handle it. To actually kill yourself knowing your kids will likely be the one's to find you is absolutely reprehensible.
Take it from someone who was born in India as a hindu. EVERY HUMAN, even the atheist ones need someplace to devote their life, muslims Christians do it as well. Shiva god is a complex deity, people see him through their eyes with whatever knowledge they posses and tbh I have no issue calling this couple uneducated cause if they choose suicide in such a way it shows they were truly religious extremists. They could have eaten some poison or whatnot but they really choose this way as a devotion to God, their children will probably have better life now India has a big population and most people have big well connected families. When things like this happens it is more likely that children actually does better then their parents because of so many factors contributing so in the end the wish might actually come true for this couple. But damn, that's unbelievably scary and children are scarred for life. Hope they don't turn psychopaths. Uneducation, superstition is still only rampant in villages but happens rarely as time moves forward .
As soon as you mentioned a "reddish-brown liquid" and two chunks of "meat" in the fire, I thought "Oh no, I know where this is going." I feel bad for the kids that went through this and will forever wonder why their parents decided to do this.
Pretty sure everyone knows exactly where he is going the moment he starts being purposefully vague to stretch these stories out another 10 minutes before revealing the obvious.
@@stykytte Girl shut up you don't have to watch! You even said in another video you stopped watching, if it bothers you so much go back to not watching 💀
82,000 views in one hour! So cool to see such a deserving person blow up! Been with you since the beginning. Thanks you for your service sir! My sister is a Colonel in the USAF and I have so much respect for the sacrifices made by folks such as yourself! Peace to you and the family!❤🙏
Happy to hear about Mr. Ballen foundation. Not a lot of people care the way you do and the fact 100% of proceeds are actually donated is by incredible. You are an amazing person.
@Aliya Jackson Comment below if anyone has taken that sh$$ today and how many pieces were left inside the toilet bowl throne..also lastly comment how much TP you all used to clean them 💩 stains in between them cheeks yo...😂😂😂
I agree that he paints a clear picture. I was walking down that road with them and hearing the cowbells jangling (and feel my feet getting dirty from the road dust). 😅
The initial description of the peaceful village is night so spot on. Mr Ballen you exactly captured how Indian villages usually feel at night. The thing is human density is very high in India so everywhere you go it's rarely scary.
I'm so sorry for the children. They're probably marked for life and must suffer in some form without their parents! And thank you @Mrballen, you are an absolute legend!
I have been a fan of Mr. Ballen for over 2 years. I am inspired by his consistency. That is something I always loved. He always comes through for us with the fascinating stories of our worlds. I will be so forever grateful for his dedication to this channel. Thank you, MrBallen for your storytelling talents. We all appreciate you.
I honestly couldn’t have said it any better than what you just did. In fact you took the words from my heart and my thoughts as to what I think and how I feel about Mr Ballen and his ability to have what it takes to do these stories, he’s truly amazing and gifted! 🩵🥰
Yes I heard this story because vinchhiya was my actual village where my forefathers used to live(not now) When I came up with this story and I researched a bit about it then I realised that it was actually known as a "Kamal Pooja"(Lotus ritual). It has actually been performed by sacrificing a couple's life. Many incidents have occurred in india in several other villages. It used to be performed for better life, money and other prosperity. It is totally a black magic ritual which they performed. And yes it is not even considerable as a ritual in Hinduism and also strictly banned in the religion. Idk why people are still being superstitious. Why are they still falling for such things to perform. Superstition is still the major issue of the rural area in India.
Yet what they tried to appease was Shiva a hindu god and the couple that practiced it r hindus.. so this practice is ingrained in Hindu rituals, whether superstition or not. The basis is hindu belief system. I know other practices where d devotees eat dead corpses and shit as a part of worship of Shiva it is Is is considered as d ultimate form of worship. Wait, wait I am Indian Mmmnmmmm calls for some deep and hard thinking ....
I'm so very sorry this poor family had to suffer over such a tragedy. I can't imagine why this couple decided to perform such a rutial. It almost makes me wonder if they were feeling desprate or if they longed so much for more material possesions that they were willing to do anything to get them. I truly hope that was not what this was about but we can only guess what their motives were for doing something like this. It's so heartbreaking knowing that these children must have been traumatized in a way we can't even imagine. I just hope they grew up to still lead healthy lives after that. I hope they didn't decide to follow in their parents' footsteps and do the same thing.
This kind of ritual is still going on in India. Have you heard about the 14 years old girl beaten up to death and then raped in front of the parents in a village to get rich by harvesting good in their field after this sacrifice. 😔
That would be amazing, as he just joins your campfire circle out of nowhere. Here are three strange and mysterious stories, but first a word from our sponsor, Hello Fresh!
Ive listened to MANY mr Ballen videos/podcast and have made a comment about this earlier but it stright me again and again how CLEARLY mr Ballen speaks. English isn't my first language and Ive absolutely NO problem following the stories, no problem at all. And for that I'm very thankful🙏👌
Mr Ballen’s story telling is in a league of its own, the layout and suspense of every word are next level. Glad he decided to make such videos as he is the perfect person to tell them.
I fully agree. He treats victims in his story like humans and is actually respectful, and maintains a good style. I'm surprised he also has a whole family to take care of at the same time!!
I’m surprised he didn’t say what was on the note though. When the police read it, it said DRINK YOUR OVALTINE, DRINK YOUR OVALTINE, DRINK YOUR OVALTINE.
100% of donation going directly to the cause is absolutely honorable and just amazing. I’ve been watching you for a while and I’m so happy that you are using your platform for a great cause. Wish you and your family the very best. 😊❤
This case scared me when I first heard it, I feel so bad for the kids having to find them in that way! No doubt that’s definitely traumatic I hope the get the help the deserve/need 🙏🏼
I gotta say how you tell stories are amazing me and my mom listen to you all the time. My boyfriend was just a victim of a violent crime 😔walking his dog and got assaulted for absolutely no reason 😔 that’s awesome that you help people like that ❤️
Sad how I may never hear the best stories just because I like to watch him tell a story compared to listening 😢😢😢... I see his passion in the stories and it helps to understand to gravity of the situation being told
Yeah, if I just listen to a mrballen podcast I usually can't pay any attention to it. Its only when I watch the actual video with my eyes can I then understand the story.
I anticipated where this was going… but it didn’t make it any easier. Your storytelling is amazing as always Mr. B! I was hanging on every word. Bless those children. 🙏🏻
Me too… I caught on almost straight away… but this guy makes it interesting even when you know where it’s going! And always so respectful too. Quite the art really.

So much love! So much love for their children who are now orphans, and so much love for their relatives who now will be burdened by the responsibility of raising their children, as if they are not struggling enough already. So much love!
I can’t thank you enough for starting your foundation. My aunt and uncle were the victims of a violent home invasion where they were beaten and shot (both are alive and well). But afterwards there wasn’t any support for them. The only thing they received was a few counseling sessions and a realtor with no fees (if they wanted to sell their house). Wish there was more support for people that go through such traumatic experiences.
This is so True..I was a crime survivor..beaten by a gang initiation..3 attacked me but 1 is guilty of my wounds I felt all alone .after..truly not a lot for those who are injured by crime..but Yahshua SAVED ME ..and made me New.. GLORY TO GOD God Bless You All !!
Stories like this make me miss Mr. Ballen even more..I 1st found his channel back when he only had about 100,000 Subs here on YT..While I'm Very happy for him & all of his success bc he def deserves it, I miss all the Amazingly Awesome stories he would upload 3, 4 even 5 times each week..Ahh, the good 'ol days..LoL
I miss those good 'ol days too- He's just so darn good at telling "tales" it almost feels like you're right there with whoever he's talking about. Those 3, 4 & even 5 x's were heaven-binge watching was definitely a pleasure
@@listey Nope, didn't say that..Just said I missed those days..Know that he can't go back to that, bc of his foundation, other ventures, etc, & wouldn't want him to..That's why they are called "the good 'ol days", bc they are days of the past..
That rate he was going at was unhealthy even for the regular content creator. No one can pump out 3-5 videos a week with constant quality. Better to have one video a week rather than none.
I'm so glad I'm getting strong enough to watch MrBallen again. I had my 32nd surgery in May and have been too weak. Anywho, thank you for this upload. I've missed your storytelling. 😊 Those poor children. I can't even begin to imagine. 🙏❤️🙏
I really hate not knowing the WHY! So sad for the children, not only did they lose their parents, walk in on that horrendous seen, but have no idea why! So sad. As always, perefectly told, as only Mr. Ballan can! 💖
yeah I was thinking how that was additional trauma to the children. they will have to go the rest of their lives not knowing the reason their parents chose to torment them like that
Thank you for creating the foundation! As a victim, we are often forgotten while the preparator is out front and center of the process. We are left to stand alone. Thank you for choosing this subject to focus on the families. I cannot say thank you enough.
It might be regional, but there is help for victims of crime. In California, it’s called “victim/witness” and provides therapy, and in some cases (a hit and run car crash, for instance), monetary reparation.
I know this was posted 5 months ago but I want to thank you for providing a charity that gives 100% of the profits to such an important cause. I am strapped for cash just now, I am a nurse. We don't get paid a lot. However I will be donating come pay day. Much respect to you and your team Mr Ballen. Absolutely love your Chanel and story telling. I just get lost in your videos. Huge fan from Scotland .
With this story and the one where a guy built his own self-inflict guillotine in his room while staying in his father's house, I'm too scared to imagine the engineering capabilities of human beings at building suicide machines.
Well, at least they thought it through lol you'd have to, taking the time and effort making some shit like that. Especially the other one you guys are talking about. The guy spent like months straight building that shit in his room.
People go to lengths to commit suicide when their lives become unbearable, but sadly the world is becoming unbearable under capitalism. Maybe that's why this poor, simple, and rural farmer and his wife in Gujarat ended their lives. Also remember that free and accessible mental health support does not exist in most of India, for those who need it the most -- poor, farmers, migrant laborers, working class, etc. 💔
Remember when this channel was tiny and uploaded 2 or 3 times a week? My, how you’ve grown, Mr Ballen. Loving what you’re doing with your fame, too. Well done ❤
Yeah this is a pretty hard one to enjoy. I enjoy his cave diving series, and other misfortunate deaths, such as crocodiles or going missing never to be seen again. But this was dark and scary. It feels connected to something evil. It makes me uneasy.
I’m glad that I’m not the only one who doesn’t quite find any “enjoyment” or really entertainment from this one. To me it sounds like a “basic”(if there is such a thing) religious sacrifice. Sure an exceptional one, but still there’s no mystery beyond that of why. We clearly know who, we know that there apparently wasn’t any reason why aside from their admission of self sacrifice. And truly to leave that for their children to find was something they could have done better. Think of those children and how long and intense the effects of this will follow them.
The fact that you've created a foundation through your videos and success is amazing and I commend you for it. I don't know where you live, but if I ever find myself there I would like to buy you a beer/dinner, or whatever floats your boat. Been watching you for quite some time now and to see the growth as a creator and storyteller is just inspiring. Thank you!
I think today is the first time I let your middle of the video ‘ad’ play through because the fact that ALL proceeds go to families etc…is super effin awesome!! 🙌🏼😍 I grew up around violent crimes and have seen first hand my own family have to pick up those pieces alone…sad and horrible, both financially and emotionally hard. Thank you for all you do!! You’re a rockstar! 🤩🤩
One of the biggest reasons I love Mr. Ballen. Isn't just because of his TH-cam channel. It's what he does outside of that. His foundation. And what does for our military service members and veterans. It's simply incredible. God bless you sir! 🙌🙏😇

I’ve been watching you for a while & love your videos. But what I love even more is the MrBallen Foundation. My mother was murdered when I was 3yrs old, & it’s still a cold case. Many people forget about the families of the victims, especially after news of the crime has faded.
I was always a die hard skeptic but today I talked with my mother and sister on the phone and it really made me think when they both saw the same thing at the same time that I did in 1989 in our old house...none of us had knowledge of previous owners practicing black magic.
Thank you, yet again, #MrBallen, for another fresh, satisfying & intriguing story. You never fail to deliver an amazing narration & I'm grateful to have crossed paths, with you. Thank you 👍😊!!
I hope one day we get a “strange, dark and mysterious” story of the harassment and abuse the poor like button goes through…the only time Mr.Ballen will be a bad guy in a story. My condolences to the family of this episode…
My friend, I love your stories and your absolute amazing enthusiasm when you tell them. I just donated to the foundation because I know what you’re doing behind the scenes is actually benefiting people who need help. I just recently lost a very young friend to suicide and I was hoping in honor of his families wishes that some of that million dollar goal might also reach families who are also suffering from loses they can’t comprehend…. Bringing awareness to situations like this will maybe help someone who feels hopeless. Thank you for using your platform and storytelling to do good in this world
Kudos to you wonderful caring people at Mr Bollen Foundation!! So many charities use part - and sometimes a huge chunk - of the donated money for " overheads". I commend you for doing the right thing. Really genuine people, thank you❤❤❤
I started watching MrBallen to distract my mind when I had stage 4 cancer & was unable to get out of bed or leave the hospital for long periods of time. I am now in remission & still get just as excited when I see a new podcast or video uploaded. Thank you MrBallen! You have no idea how much your channel means to me ❤
Because of you, John, I will donate to that cause. You've been a great story teller for as long as I can remember & I love what you do as well as appreciate your service to our country. I stand behind you & your cause fully.
I agree with this statement and will also be donating but I want to add that although I've watched every video Mr.Ballen that has been posted that even now I'll actually watch,pay attention to all your ads. I find the ads as interesting as the stories sometimes and although I've never had alot I know that I'm blessed to have the basics. A clean,safe roof over my head, enough food and just enough for a vacation once a year or one big item purchase. Like alot of ppl I live payday to payday but I've always loved to help others out whenever I can however I can. $1 can truly make a difference to a person in need and even a kind word which costs nothing can help. Thanks once again for the great story and a special thanks to everyone who donates to this amazing charity.
@@ladylove8565 You right because he showed you how terrible WyteMen are to WyteWomen and Wytekids he showed you there is such a thing As Wyte on Wyte Crime and Gay on Gay Crime
First I would like to say thank you for your service!! Secondly I like to thank you again for your foundation. I came across your channel a few months ago and I was captivated by the first video I watched. You have a unique way of telling these stories (which is extremely enlightening and entertaining)! Thank you for your hard work and the research. Looking forward to another great video!!
4 minutes and mr.B got hundreds of comments. Best, most genuine people on TH-cam who create this channel and tell a story like no other 🙇 I bow to you sir and thanks for your service to your country and now the world 🌎 with your personality
We need more charities like this. I honestly don’t know of any besides this I would have full confidence donating and knowing my money is going to the right place
The hand movements are extremely way out of control. Like I like the stories but I can't watch this guy wave around like a F'N spazz anymore. It's too much.
I hope the remaining family is able to find some peace. Also thanks for starting the foundation. Although it wasn't probably thought about when I was 5 years old, our maintenance man broke into our apartment to try to take my 12 year old sister. We were all tied up with phone cord (still have a phobia of talking on the phone) but back then they didn't talk to kids or suggest therapy. He had a gun and was very sick, wearing womans night clothes and playing with himself (not that wearing womans clothes is sick). He shot his gun when my mom untied herself and threw a vanity chair at him. Luckily no one was shot, but for a moment no one knew. I tried to kill myself at 11 and struggle daily to not try again. Thank you for caring and for doing better things, positive things for the world.
I'm so sorry for all your pain and suffering. May God bless you in everything you think, do, and say! Thank you so much for failing your self-deletion attempt! I'm glad you came out of it alive and well! You never know whose life you are impacting in a positive way, just by saying hi or giving them eye contact and a quick smile as you walk by them. I hope you get all the big, warm hugs you need to know that you are loved and appreciated! I said a prayer, just now, for your healing and comfort. I really hope you feel better and better, every day, and that you find true happiness. May The Lord watch over and protect you. You've got a lot of beautiful life ahead of you. I hope you choose to see it, and that you pray for God to really let it stand out to you, so that you really notice the beauty in every day and His love for you in all things!
I'm so sorry to hear that. I will pray that you will receive lots of happiness in your life and overcome any stress and worries you might have. If you are still struggling with any unwanted or scary thoughts, then please seek professional help as soon as possible. Seeking therapy is a good start to taking good care of your mental health. There are many great therapy programs online too and I strongly advice you to search for them. You can also try contacting your family. They will feel more than happy to help you. May God bless you! Stay safe and Stay strong! ❤
@@kingsleyking3009 thank you and I appreciate you taking the time to post. I have had a team of mental health professionals since 11, maybe 12. It helps a lot, but at the end of the day it's just you and your brain. I appreciate the prayers, so much! I hope something changes and I look forward to seeing if it does. Just don't want to get my hopes up, ya know?
Mr. Ballen can explain the most terrifying story with such compassion. He gives the facts and doesn’t try to spin the stories. I have followed him since I discovered him here on TH-cam and Facebook. I recommend him to anyone who likes storytelling
I’ve said this before, but no matter what goes on in my life your videos are the one constant that I ALWAYS have to look forward too. Life can be monotonous and your videos are the farthest thing from that. My interest is peaked every week it makes me think about things I normally wouldn’t. Thank you for what you do, and thank you for creating your foundation. WE LOVE YOU JOHN!❤️ thank you for your content!
8:04 God bless you! My family and I are currently struggling financially but once we work through this part of our lives we would love to donate to this cause. Keep up the good work and may God bless those who are already donating and those they are donating to.
I’m in tears. Thank you for creating MRBALLEN FOUNDATION for survivors and victims of violent crimes. We do care about these people. I’ve prayed for those families, survivors and victims. 🙏🏼 It is dark, strange and mysterious world that can suddenly put you in a scenario, you never imagined. To shift this platform into awareness and compassion for those who’ve suffered is basic humanity. Love and light to you John, and your beautiful family! 🙌🏼🤍✊🏼🙏🏼

While looking up on this case I came across this article that sounded just like your video. Seemed to have taken everything almost word for word. I checked and they posted this a month after you did so you may want to report them so the article comes down. Love your videos Mr.Ballen!!
You know what John I really appreciate that you have these options we can take to help people who really need the support. You will always have my respect for what you do for other's. Not only you tell great stories to keep us your fans coming for more, you are willing to go out your way to help people who have been through some serious stuff. Thank you 🙏
Genuinely warms my heart to see how many comment Mr. Ballen likes and interacts with. It's really nice that no matter how big the channel gets, he still interacts with the community and takes time to read the comments!
All I can think of is how tragic for Himu and Hansa’s children. That is something they will never get over finding. Good job on covering this story.
Its 'Hemu', He pronounced as Hay.
Yes that was very selfish of them 😢
I pray it leads them to Immanuel YaHUsHuaH Messiah. He would never require physical sacrifice for forgiveness. Only spiritual.
He doesn't need candles and blood. He is the Blood of Life. The Only Way to The Father.
Yes.
Super selfish of them and leaving them to their family to hope they will take care of them.. just all around so sad. Destroyed their kids
As a Hindu I would like to thank you for covering this case in a balanced manner. Very often when discussing Hinduism, creators add salacious or exotic details.

Pretty sure they were trying black magic. But i have heard of animal (goat and bull mainly) sacrifice in certain temples.
They were driven by greed, certainly.
Thanks for this explanation. I was completely lost as to their motivation but this makes sense, as much as it can anyway.
Religion leads people to do all kinds of strange and terrible things.
@@architbhagat In Nepali Hinduism, animal sacrifices in temples (and even in the home) are very common, especially during the Dashain festival. I didn’t realise these practices were so rare in India.

That being said. It is always a good idea to check the certified auditors report before donating to any charity or foundation.

This situation is incredibly sad for the young children. I really hope that they were eventually able to find some kind of peace after what happened. It must be hard not knowing why their parents abandoned them.

Mr. Ballen is so freaking good at telling stories. I can’t imagine the horror of the poor children who discovered their parents in the shrine. Thank you John for all you do, much respect sir!
JOHN, eh? Brazen! 😂
@john hodgson never heard of that before. I'll check it out now. I can only find the why files. Is that what you meant by chance?
oh ya? you like the needless elaboration of abhorrent details thats just done to increase video length to increase revenue through ads?
@@jaredjared1 yeah
Those poor traumatized children indeed. That was extremely selfish of the parents
I can’t imagine the horror of the children to discover their parents. I wish them healing and peace.
It would be horrifying! 😢
I am not someone who has ever really been scared of death.When my kids were growing up I always hoped if I ended up being murdered please don't let them find me. My son even though he is an adult now he would never be able to handle it. To actually kill yourself knowing your kids will likely be the one's to find you is absolutely reprehensible.
Dude.. this is just.. heartbreaking. I don't understand how people can rationalize leaving their kids like this.
Take it from someone who was born in India as a hindu. EVERY HUMAN, even the atheist ones need someplace to devote their life, muslims Christians do it as well. Shiva god is a complex deity, people see him through their eyes with whatever knowledge they posses and tbh I have no issue calling this couple uneducated cause if they choose suicide in such a way it shows they were truly religious extremists. They could have eaten some poison or whatnot but they really choose this way as a devotion to God, their children will probably have better life now India has a big population and most people have big well connected families. When things like this happens it is more likely that children actually does better then their parents because of so many factors contributing so in the end the wish might actually come true for this couple. But damn, that's unbelievably scary and children are scarred for life. Hope they don't turn psychopaths. Uneducation, superstition is still only rampant in villages but happens rarely as time moves forward .
As soon as you mentioned a "reddish-brown liquid" and two chunks of "meat" in the fire, I thought "Oh no, I know where this is going." I feel bad for the kids that went through this and will forever wonder why their parents decided to do this.
Pretty sure everyone knows exactly where he is going the moment he starts being purposefully vague to stretch these stories out another 10 minutes before revealing the obvious.

What an incredibly sad story. My heart goes out to the loved ones left behind.
Happy to hear about Mr. Ballen foundation. Not a lot of people care the way you do and the fact 100% of proceeds are actually donated is by incredible. You are an amazing person.
Ballen out on stories of the strange, dark, and mysterious! Love this time of the week!
@Aliya Jackson Comment below if anyone has taken that sh$$ today and how many pieces were left inside the toilet bowl throne..also lastly comment how much TP you all used to clean them 💩 stains in between them cheeks yo...😂😂😂
I love how you add so much depth to your stories! You paint such a clear picture of the settings that if I close my eyes, I can imagine it so vividly.
thank you!!
@@MrBallen No, thank you!
I agree that he paints a clear picture. I was walking down that road with them and hearing the cowbells jangling (and feel my feet getting dirty from the road dust). 😅
The initial description of the peaceful village is night so spot on. Mr Ballen you exactly captured how Indian villages usually feel at night. The thing is human density is very high in India so everywhere you go it's rarely scary.
I'm so sorry for the children. They're probably marked for life and must suffer in some form without their parents! And thank you @Mrballen, you are an absolute legend!
As an aside I just want to thank you John for the MrBallen Foundation. It impacts me directly. You're a good dude.
I have been a fan of Mr. Ballen for over 2 years. I am inspired by his consistency. That is something I always loved. He always comes through for us with the fascinating stories of our worlds. I will be so forever grateful for his dedication to this channel. Thank you, MrBallen for your storytelling talents. We all appreciate you.
I honestly couldn’t have said it any better than what you just did.
In fact you took the words from my heart and my thoughts as to what I think and how I feel about Mr Ballen and his ability to have what it takes to do these stories, he’s truly amazing and gifted!
🩵🥰
He's narrative skills, he sure would have made Shakespeare envious
Yes I heard this story because vinchhiya was my actual village where my forefathers used to live(not now) When I came up with this story and I researched a bit about it then I realised that it was actually known as a "Kamal Pooja"(Lotus ritual). It has actually been performed by sacrificing a couple's life. Many incidents have occurred in india in several other villages. It used to be performed for better life, money and other prosperity. It is totally a black magic ritual which they performed. And yes it is not even considerable as a ritual in Hinduism and also strictly banned in the religion. Idk why people are still being superstitious. Why are they still falling for such things to perform. Superstition is still the major issue of the rural area in India.
Yet what they tried to appease was Shiva a hindu god and the couple that practiced it r hindus.. so this practice is ingrained in Hindu rituals, whether superstition or not. The basis is hindu belief system. I know other practices where d devotees eat dead corpses and shit as a part of worship of Shiva it is Is is considered as d ultimate form of worship. Wait, wait I am Indian
Mmmnmmmm calls for some deep and hard thinking ....
All religion is superstition, there is nothing supernatural in the Universe, no gods , devils , souls , angels , etc. It's all make believe.
That's really satanic and evil ritual 😱
I'm so very sorry this poor family had to suffer over such a tragedy. I can't imagine why this couple decided to perform such a rutial. It almost makes me wonder if they were feeling desprate or if they longed so much for more material possesions that they were willing to do anything to get them. I truly hope that was not what this was about but we can only guess what their motives were for doing something like this. It's so heartbreaking knowing that these children must have been traumatized in a way we can't even imagine. I just hope they grew up to still lead healthy lives after that. I hope they didn't decide to follow in their parents' footsteps and do the same thing.
This kind of ritual is still going on in India. Have you heard about the 14 years old girl beaten up to death and then raped in front of the parents in a village to get rich by harvesting good in their field after this sacrifice. 😔
He always has me so focused on the story, i can't look away or stop listening for a second. I stop whatever im doing when he post!
Every Sunday at 4PM my excitement hits the roof. Thanks Mr.Ballen.
He is so freaking good at telling stories. I wish I could have him over to scare my siblings at bonfires.

Ive listened to MANY mr Ballen videos/podcast and have made a comment about this earlier but it stright me again and again how CLEARLY mr Ballen speaks. English isn't my first language and Ive absolutely NO problem following the stories, no problem at all. And for that I'm very thankful🙏👌
Yes, same comment
Mr Ballen’s story telling is in a league of its own, the layout and suspense of every word are next level. Glad he decided to make such videos as he is the perfect person to tell them.
REPORT SCAMS^^^^^
I fully agree. He treats victims in his story like humans and is actually respectful, and maintains a good style. I'm surprised he also has a whole family to take care of at the same time!!
I’m surprised he didn’t say what was on the note though. When the police read it, it said DRINK YOUR OVALTINE, DRINK YOUR OVALTINE, DRINK YOUR OVALTINE.
I totally agree with you. He is a fantastic story teller and, knowing his history as a navy seal, I have a lot of respect for him as a person
@TTTshopkeeper ,

It's insane how recently this happened. I hope the family is taking good care of the children.
I don't get it. what about it being recently?
@@greg_4201This happened on April of this year meaning that it happened about 5 months ago.

😢r😢
I can't imagine parents willing doing this, and leaving their children alone. A Great video, with a tragic ending. Thank You.
100% of donation going directly to the cause is absolutely honorable and just amazing. I’ve been watching you for a while and I’m so happy that you are using your platform for a great cause. Wish you and your family the very best. 😊❤
This case scared me when I first heard it, I feel so bad for the kids having to find them in that way! No doubt that’s definitely traumatic I hope the get the help the deserve/need 🙏🏼
Considering how poor and uneducated the area is, it's almost certain those kids will be abandoned / put to work as quasi-slaves.
I gotta say how you tell stories are amazing me and my mom listen to you all the time. My boyfriend was just a victim of a violent crime 😔walking his dog and got assaulted for absolutely no reason 😔 that’s awesome that you help people like that ❤️
Sad how I may never hear the best stories just because I like to watch him tell a story compared to listening 😢😢😢... I see his passion in the stories and it helps to understand to gravity of the situation being told
Yeah "watching" him tell the stories along with the pictures and background visuals just hits different than the audio podcats.
Yeah, if I just listen to a mrballen podcast I usually can't pay any attention to it. Its only when I watch the actual video with my eyes can I then understand the story.
@@dwnsouthtx210.
Ya idk why I just like the videos more than the podcast even tho I put the videos on while I draw and don’t actually watch them just listen to them
I anticipated where this was going… but it didn’t make it any easier. Your storytelling is amazing as always Mr. B! I was hanging on every word. Bless those children. 🙏🏻
Me too… I caught on almost straight away… but this guy makes it interesting even when you know where it’s going! And always so respectful too. Quite the art really.
After listening to so many MrBallen stories. I have now learned that no place is ever safe.

So much love! So much love for their children who are now orphans, and so much love for their relatives who now will be burdened by the responsibility of raising their children, as if they are not struggling enough already. So much love!
I can’t thank you enough for starting your foundation. My aunt and uncle were the victims of a violent home invasion where they were beaten and shot (both are alive and well). But afterwards there wasn’t any support for them. The only thing they received was a few counseling sessions and a realtor with no fees (if they wanted to sell their house). Wish there was more support for people that go through such traumatic experiences.
I'm so sorry to hear this. Very happy to hear they are alive and well. 🫶
Mr,ballon props dude great work
Glad they are doing well. But yeah, there's not really too much support, which sucks
@@cricketandgraham8644 until not too long ago were there even clean up crews for bloody murders. Imagine that. It adds to the trauma

Stories like this make me miss Mr. Ballen even more..I 1st found his channel back when he only had about 100,000 Subs here on YT..While I'm Very happy for him & all of his success bc he def deserves it, I miss all the Amazingly Awesome stories he would upload 3, 4 even 5 times each week..Ahh, the good 'ol days..LoL
I miss those good 'ol days too-
He's just so darn good at telling "tales" it almost feels like you're right there with whoever he's talking about. Those 3, 4 & even 5 x's were heaven-binge watching was definitely a pleasure
So you'd rather he did 4-5 uploads a week at the cost of the time he spends working on his Foundation? Sounds pretty selfish bro...
@@listey Nope, didn't say that..Just said I missed those days..Know that he can't go back to that, bc of his foundation, other ventures, etc, & wouldn't want him to..That's why they are called "the good 'ol days", bc they are days of the past..
@@listey habit of putting words into someone else mouth??
That rate he was going at was unhealthy even for the regular content creator. No one can pump out 3-5 videos a week with constant quality. Better to have one video a week rather than none.
I'm so glad I'm getting strong enough to watch MrBallen again. I had my 32nd surgery in May and have been too weak. Anywho, thank you for this upload. I've missed your storytelling. 😊
Those poor children. I can't even begin to imagine. 🙏❤️🙏
This story was heartbreaking for just how tragic this was for the kids. Really appreciate your coverage and research in getting these stories told
I love how wholesome your story telling is. You paint a really nice picture of the “good days” during the beginning of these stories :)
I really hate not knowing the WHY! So sad for the children, not only did they lose their parents, walk in on that horrendous seen, but have no idea why! So sad. As always, perefectly told, as only Mr. Ballan can! 💖
mental illness is why
yeah I was thinking how that was additional trauma to the children. they will have to go the rest of their lives not knowing the reason their parents chose to torment them like that
Thank you for creating the foundation! As a victim, we are often forgotten while the preparator is out front and center of the process. We are left to stand alone. Thank you for choosing this subject to focus on the families. I cannot say thank you enough.
It might be regional, but there is help for victims of crime. In California, it’s called “victim/witness” and provides therapy, and in some cases (a hit and run car crash, for instance), monetary reparation.
I know this was posted 5 months ago but I want to thank you for providing a charity that gives 100% of the profits to such an important cause. I am strapped for cash just now, I am a nurse. We don't get paid a lot. However I will be donating come pay day. Much respect to you and your team Mr Ballen. Absolutely love your Chanel and story telling. I just get lost in your videos. Huge fan from Scotland .
With this story and the one where a guy built his own self-inflict guillotine in his room while staying in his father's house, I'm too scared to imagine the engineering capabilities of human beings at building suicide machines.
Thanks for reminding me of that. That one was dark
We engineer even more complex machines and devices for torturing and killing other people.
Well, at least they thought it through lol you'd have to, taking the time and effort making some shit like that. Especially the other one you guys are talking about. The guy spent like months straight building that shit in his room.
That story has been living with me since I’ve seen it s year ago or so. It’s terrifying
People go to lengths to commit suicide when their lives become unbearable, but sadly the world is becoming unbearable under capitalism. Maybe that's why this poor, simple, and rural farmer and his wife in Gujarat ended their lives. Also remember that free and accessible mental health support does not exist in most of India, for those who need it the most -- poor, farmers, migrant laborers, working class, etc. 💔
Remember when this channel was tiny and uploaded 2 or 3 times a week? My, how you’ve grown, Mr Ballen. Loving what you’re doing with your fame, too. Well done ❤
I don’t know how I could have enjoyed this story but I really enjoy Mr Ballen bringing this story to our attention ❤
Yeah this is a pretty hard one to enjoy. I enjoy his cave diving series, and other misfortunate deaths, such as crocodiles or going missing never to be seen again. But this was dark and scary. It feels connected to something evil. It makes me uneasy.
@@yangsrealm2536 that's the whole reason I started watching him but I lack in those spots if yu push aside sum stuff it makes it enjoyable
I’m glad that I’m not the only one who doesn’t quite find any “enjoyment” or really entertainment from this one. To me it sounds like a “basic”(if there is such a thing) religious sacrifice. Sure an exceptional one, but still there’s no mystery beyond that of why. We clearly know who, we know that there apparently wasn’t any reason why aside from their admission of self sacrifice. And truly to leave that for their children to find was something they could have done better. Think of those children and how long and intense the effects of this will follow them.
I would say the way he tells these horrific stories is in an appealing way not an enjoyable way.
Probably both of them were murdered. And the murderer framed them as religious maniacs.
An absolutely heartbreaking story. Got no words to say or write. I hope those poor children heal one day. 💔💔💔😢
The fact that you've created a foundation through your videos and success is amazing and I commend you for it. I don't know where you live, but if I ever find myself there I would like to buy you a beer/dinner, or whatever floats your boat. Been watching you for quite some time now and to see the growth as a creator and storyteller is just inspiring. Thank you!

This story is crazy. I've seen some pretty terrible stuff as a child and nobody and especially a child should have to see anything like that.
I’ve been watching you for a while & love your videos. But what I love even more is the MrBallen Foundation. My mother was murdered when I was 3yrs old, & it’s still a cold case. Many people forget about the families of the victims, especially after news of the crime has faded.
Another day to sit down and enjoy a tale under the moonlight from the best storyteller of all time
I was always a die hard skeptic but today I talked with my mother and sister on the phone and it really made me think when they both saw the same thing at the same time that I did in 1989 in our old house...none of us had knowledge of previous owners practicing black magic.
Damn right!

My friend, I love your stories and your absolute amazing enthusiasm when you tell them. I just donated to the foundation because I know what you’re doing behind the scenes is actually benefiting people who need help. I just recently lost a very young friend to suicide and I was hoping in honor of his families wishes that some of that million dollar goal might also reach families who are also suffering from loses they can’t comprehend…. Bringing awareness to situations like this will maybe help someone who feels hopeless. Thank you for using your platform and storytelling to do good in this world
MrBallen has a way of humanizing everyone, even when there’s no understanding of why someone did what they did. Great storytelling, as always.
he is so good at story telling I cant get enough of his storys thank you mrballen

Thank you for sharing, MrBallen! Tragic story...Hopefully, the kids will grow up alright. Congratulations on the foundation!
I hope the remaining family is able to find some peace.
Also thanks for starting the foundation. Although it wasn't probably thought about when I was 5 years old, our maintenance man broke into our apartment to try to take my 12 year old sister. We were all tied up with phone cord (still have a phobia of talking on the phone) but back then they didn't talk to kids or suggest therapy. He had a gun and was very sick, wearing womans night clothes and playing with himself (not that wearing womans clothes is sick). He shot his gun when my mom untied herself and threw a vanity chair at him. Luckily no one was shot, but for a moment no one knew. I tried to kill myself at 11 and struggle daily to not try again. Thank you for caring and for doing better things, positive things for the world.
I'm so sorry for all your pain and suffering. May God bless you in everything you think, do, and say! Thank you so much for failing your self-deletion attempt! I'm glad you came out of it alive and well! You never know whose life you are impacting in a positive way, just by saying hi or giving them eye contact and a quick smile as you walk by them. I hope you get all the big, warm hugs you need to know that you are loved and appreciated! I said a prayer, just now, for your healing and comfort. I really hope you feel better and better, every day, and that you find true happiness. May The Lord watch over and protect you. You've got a lot of beautiful life ahead of you. I hope you choose to see it, and that you pray for God to really let it stand out to you, so that you really notice the beauty in every day and His love for you in all things!

Mr. Ballen can explain the most terrifying story with such compassion. He gives the facts and doesn’t try to spin the stories. I have followed him since I discovered him here on TH-cam and Facebook. I recommend him to anyone who likes storytelling
I’ve said this before, but no matter what goes on in my life your videos are the one constant that I ALWAYS have to look forward too.

Good on you for creating a platform that provides financial assistance to those who, as you said, are so easily and quickly forgotten.

Please, I beg of you, use punctuation. You did it for the numbers, you can do it with sentences as well.
Much respect for creating the MrBallen foundation and using your platform to help these families who need it most, you are seriously talented in delivering stories and a very humble & generous person, we need more of you💙
I miss the paranormal story videos. I love the true crime and disappearance videos but the paranormal videos give me a chill.
I miss the 411 stories

While looking up on this case I came across this article that sounded just like your video.
Seemed to have taken everything almost word for word.
I checked and they posted this a month after you did so you may want to report them so the article comes down.
Love your videos Mr.Ballen!!
MrBallen hitting yet another home run in story telling. Love the way you take time to devote yourself to these stories. 10/10!
You know what John I really appreciate that you have these options we can take to help people who really need the support. You will always have my respect for what you do for other's. Not only you tell great stories to keep us your fans coming for more, you are willing to go out your way to help people who have been through some serious stuff.
Thank you 🙏
Genuinely warms my heart to see how many comment Mr. Ballen likes and interacts with. It's really nice that no matter how big the channel gets, he still interacts with the community and takes time to read the comments!
I loved that you have been blessed in a way that you can give back to others. That really touched me. I wish that for us all. ❤
