My Marine vet daughter is married to a DEV and constantly tells her hubby Recon is harder than what he does. It's not but she has to tweek his nose every now and then. 😂
My partner is an historian, and we live in Edinburgh. He has done a lot of research on this kirkyard, at the behest of the Scottish Government. In fact, this was a graveyard, before there was a kirk there. The population petitioned Mary, Queen of Scots, to build a kirk there, and she granted permission. The land has been built on, and built on for hundreds of years. Every time the kirkyard was full, they would cover it in earth and start burying people again. The kirkyard abuts Candlemaker Row, and used to be the same level as that street, whereas now, it is about a high as a double decker bus. My partner says that a conservative esitmate of people buried in the kirkyard, is about 250,000. There is a mass grave there, but the covenanters who are buried there, were mostly hanged at the Grasssmarket, nearby. The monument which has been built for them in Greyfriars Kirkyard was put up some years later due to a political movement which demanded acknowledgement of their unfair deaths. George Mackenzie was actually the first to propose that births, death and marriages were documented in a registry, and he was also a proponent of public libraries. Then true story with his mausoleum, and why it is chained up, is that a couple of goths broke in - there are about six or seven people buried in his mausoleum - and stole a skull. They were playing football with it, and the police were summoned by local homeless people. The judge at their trial came down hard on them as Mackenzie was an important historical figure. The story of the haunting Mr Ballen told today is a good yarn, but most of it was invented by an enterprising tour guide. The exorcism attempt is factual. Colin Grant did indeed go into the kirkyard, to perform an exorcism, and after his death, the Edinburgh City Council locked up the covenanters prison. The official reason is that homeless people were sleeping in the kirkyard, and since the kirkyard was becoming a tourist location, the homeless sleeping there would look bad. It is a shame that they did so, as the homeless who were sleeping there were actually taking care of the kirkyard, and they prevented vandalisms like the goths who stole the skull. Gosh, this is a long post, but my partner and I passionate about history, and especially Greyfriars, since my partner has done so much work on it. If you got to the end of this post, thanks for reading.
That is the cemeterywhere Bobby (a Skye Terrier) laid on his owners grave for 14yrs. Bobby followed the funeral precession and watched his owners coffin lowered into the ground. Bobby would spend every night laying on his owners grave crying. The local townspeople would feed him. When dog catchers tried to catch him for being unlicensed a noble who loved dogs permanently paid for his tags. There is a statue of Bobby near the cemetery as well as a bar named for him.
Oh wow! I vaguely remember hearing something about that, but I didn't realize he had been there everyday for 14 years! That's got me choked up with tears. That poor, sweet baby. I can tell his owners loved in an exceptionally profound and genuine way, and obviously, he felt the same. Thank you for sharing this with us. What an awesome story
I just wanna say, thank you… I am blind from six, and I recently found your channel. You tell your stories in the way where I can see them in my mind. Thank you

I'm no expert, so I'm just gonna say what I see in this photo. The photo is taken with extended exposure, no bright camera flash. There's a second point light source to the right of the camera, evident by the glare from the panel beneath the window. It's colder than the rest, likely a maglite or similar flashlight held by the journalist. Looking at the intense and colder exposure of the front of the hand holding the candle, that's probably what he's pointing the flashlight at. You can see the red camera indicator, and the cooler light reflection glare, under the window. But the photo itself has a much warmer tone than if that cold light was directly illuminating the shot. It's visible as effects of the prolonged exposure time, not direct angle reflection. Had the latter been the case, the whole image would just be a big lightblob. What's seen in the window, is a shadow cast by the celtic cross, being partially illuminated by the narrow beam of the flashlight.
@@vodyannoi At least the way I personally see it and understand the surroundings and context, a major portion of the "issue" causing suspicion here is the camera angle an lighting. But I believe those would be explained by the photo being taken only by prolonged exposure (from the camera orientation perspective), and there being another sharp point light source like s flashlight coming from a different angle. And I believe we have that here. Another conforming possibility is that the shadow is cast by that partial lighting of the priest's hand (that appears not directly reflecting but overexposed but by a/ that second light source, as it's not directly lit parallel to the photo angle).
@@pr0xZen no, I mean like how you can............make an entire page of this. I mean image it on paper man. You're cool I could never write this much about such things
I grew up in Edinburgh and knew EXACTLY what cemetery this was from the title. As children, we were forbidden from entering by my Grandparents and parents. I entered once as an adult and will never do so again.
Or. Hear me out, the human condition is much more complicated than good or evil, black or white. As humans we try and paint people as all evil, or all good. But in reality we live on a spectrum of different shades
@@dollyschwall8537you don't know that. You were just told that. If you actually read the Bible it says no one is in Hell until Judgment Day where all are supposedly judged for their actions. As far as anyone knows, the rapture hadn't happened yet, nor has Christ returned. So, karma is fake and no one reads what they sow on Earth. That's a fairy tale. I've seen evil people live prosperous lives everyday. They're called politicians and few are celebrities.

A recognisant Marine is a big deal! Coming from a vet who was injured in action and is a Navy Seal! I met a guy in the ambulance service in the UK who was my patient. This guy was really exited to telling me how he had met a guy in hospital who had ran up the beaches on D day in France. my patent was telling me about what a hero this other man was. I said, " did you serve in the war?" He replied " Ye but I only served in the RAF flying aero planes!" Which ones, asked. Spitfires He replied. Hero's don't see themselves as hero's, but for some reason see others as the hero. Thank God they all have the courage to serve us all and keep us free. God bless you all who have served and are serving now.
The Covenanters were imprisoned outdoors with little to no shelter. They would sleep on the cold ground at night and were forbidden to move around. To increase their suffering, the guards would throw buckets of freezing water over them during the winter. Of the 1200 held there for 5 months, almost 1000 died from exposure, disease or starvation!
I am Scottish and I live in Scotland and I have been at that Cemetery many times, and can I tell you it is the creepiest bone chilling place I have ever been.
I live in Scotland to mate, been there a few times aswell and i completely agree with you! there's something that doesn't feel right every time I've been, by far the creepiest place I've been
I went there after the tattoo two years ago, it has it's creepy places, but I generally felt safer there. I am weird enough to talk to the residents as I wander round though, thanking them for putting up with my presence and apologising if I have disturbed them. It seems to work. There was only one or two crypts I felt pushed back from. And I didn't go into the covenanters cemetery because it was locked.
I had a reading from Rev Colin Grant at my friends house in the mid eighties, nice gentle man! I also had a strange encounter at the Kirkyard gates maybe a year or so later. My hubby and I had the kids at Edinburgh museum for the day, then we walked along to see Grayfriars Bobby, ( The dog who got freedom of the city) we decided to walk down to the grassmarket to get chips from the chippy, on the way back up Candlemakers row, there’s a side gate into the Cemetery , it was a gorgeous day no wind and no other people in sight! My hubby and the kids were in front of me as we passed the gate, I was at the back taking in the sights, when all of a sudden my bag of chips seemed to be knocked clean out of my hands and landed on the ground! The boys thought it was hilarious that I dropped my food, but, I didn’t drop it! It was knocked out of my hands! That was when I realised we were right outside the side gate to the kirkyard! Couldn’t get out of there fast enough! Not an exceptional story but that was forty years ago and will never forget it! Xx
@@jordan9752a dog that gotten freedom from the city … meaning they paid his tags up, and the people within the city took care of him. No set location, able/trusted to roam free. I’m assuming.
@@jordan9752 Shantil is right! Dogs and cats can be voted into office too. They mostly run for mayors, lawyers, district attorneys, and judges (every state is different, though). People can "write them in" as well, so please vote this year!
I had the privilege of visiting this cemetery once while visiting Scotland. I heard this story from the tour guide, but you told it so wonderfully it felt like I was hearing it for the first time! Keep up the fantastic work.
All I know is whoever came up with the idea to call for an exorcist is probably the guy who roofied and strangled that lady outside the cemetery. "We have people being attacked!" The attacker: "Must be ghosts!"
Better help isn't a therapy provider, it's a tech company. I wouldn't ever recommend getting therapy from better help. They treat their patients badly, and their staff even worse. I know that you have to keep the lights on, but recommending better help, is doing a genuine disservice to anyone in your audience that actually needs help.
@@TheMeatballMan420 i noticed a lot of TH-camrs stopped using them after those videos came out calling out better help. Then out of nowhere he sponsors them again.
I live in Edinburgh, have done for 30 years. Came here to study acting. In 2000 I was employed by the History Chanel to play the role of a Covenantor, myself and another 2 actors - easy gig, paid handsomely for very little work - just sit in one of the cells and looks hungry and miserable. Sadly, this was to be my one and only brush with Hollywood. Prior to that, as a drama student I slept the night there, drunk as a skunk - taken by the spirit of Smirnoff haha Thank you for your service to the strange, dark and mysterious. Have a great tour!
Hey Mr.Ballen just wanted to say thank you so much for all the great stories you tell us about, I’m going through a dark time right now in my life where I can’t seem to find any hope but your stories and the strong people that went through them ,they give me the hope and strength to go on and move forward. thank you for all the hard work you do to deliver these stories to us, it really means so much more than you know. 💙
I have never had anything pertinent to add to any of these stories until now. Back in the early 90s, I was living and working in Edinburgh and have been to this Kirk, which is quite serene during the day. However, the father of one of the women I worked with used to be the curator of Greyfriar's Kirk, and he had one heck of a story to tell! It was his job to kick up the kirk each night, and open it every morning. He has done so for years and has no issues or experiences. However, one week he felt very uneasy in the kirk as he locked it up, and felt like he was being watched. Then one night, as he was turning out the lights, he saw a woman in strange clothing with a young child. They looked at him, and then the woman said to the child, "Don't be afraid, he can't hurt you." At which point the two of them turned around and walked through the wall of the kirk. My friend's father was so frightened by the experience that he made his son close up in the evenings because he refused to. Apparently, according to my coworker, there had been an orphanage on the spot of Greyfriar's before the kirk. I haven't done the research to prove or disprove that, but I did make a point of visiting the site as soon as I could. It was completely uneventful for me, but I love the stories.
It's never occurred to me that they may be afraid of us. Puts a whole different perspective to it really. Thank you for sharing your story, I enjoyed reading it very much.
I’m a retired police officer and worked this area years ago, I attended a few calls to Greyfriars Kirkyard and others in the area re. various complaints but had thankfully never heard this story, it’s creepy enough in the dark 😳 There are guided tours to this graveyard now as J K Rowling got the names for some of her characters in the Harry Potter books from the old headstones there.
Man, i miss the good old times when he said: "If you are a fan of the strange, dark and mystirious...this is all we do and WE UPLOAD 3,4 or even 5 TIMES A WEEK"! :D edit: 7:05 there's a mini Mr.Ballen in the middle :D
Me too. I miss those days when he would upload several times a week. Also he used to hide a small thing in the video, so you have to say the timestamp where you found it. I never even seen one, until someone says it.
I actually feel like there's another perspective to this. George being buried there in a grand mausoleum on top of the graves of those he tortured is highly disrespectful . It's entirely possible that the activity is not George himself, but rather the spirits who are angry because of this. Perhaps even both. I feel like George's body should be moved elsewhere in a less spectacular grave and the mausoleum made into a memorial to his victims. Perhaps that would bring them peace and a sense of justice. That is just how I felt through this entire story anyway.
Todays day 65 of dads hospice (hes staying home). Your Sunday uploads have become our routine together since he started palliative care. I wish i could post a pic, the VA did a pinning ceremony today for his Vietnam service. Its actually been a good day. Thanks Mr B
even though I don't know him. please tell your dad that I am truly grateful for his service. he must have some interesting stories. spend as much time with him as you can.
Thank your dad for his service. Too many Vietnam vets got just the opposite when they came home, and not one of them deserved it. I had two uncles that served over there, so I have a special place in my heart for Vietnam vets.
@@maidenminnesota1 thank you, I'll show him your comment. I know he'll appreciate it. He lost a brother and an uncle in it. His whole life he's never spoken about it or seemed to "care" about his service so I was shocked at how emotional he was during the pinning ceremony. They gave him a gorgeous flag blanket and started the process to replace lost medals.
@@allenrusselljr I dated a man who served during that conflict. As close as we were, he too rarely mentioned a thing about it, and I didn't push. A math teacher in high school explained his continued startle responses to loud noises, car backfires, etc. in the context of his being with us in the classroom and on campus. I respected his being open about that at the time. I have a freakish startle response from abuse while young which in no way compare to war; however, I felt I could relate a bit
Literally counting down the minutes every Sunday for 2:00p.m. Nothing beats the Strange Dark and Mysterious delivered in story format! MrBallen does it in such a respectful way. 😊
Cemeteries in general are quite peaceful, I love walking around and reading the tombstones. Calculating a lifespan from the dates, thinking about the ones they left behind, or how those departed passed, it's almost like their spirits offer protection because you are respectful. It's a journey every single one of us is one, we might as come comes to terms with it.
It's fake. He never used it. They offered him money when they noticed he got millions of views. So he hac to make up a bs story of "omg I was so depressed this place helped me I love them from the heart so much". If they really helped him like that he woulda brang it up before going famous. He is miniupulating people who are actually in that position. But he got paid for posting them. And most these stories are fake. He literally posted saying " the videos I talk about are not 100% real and are from my words ". This dudes a joke. He literally took his fame and money and just started making fans watch his bs ads and on top of that lies so much
It’s just hit 4am in Queensland Australia, and this is the one single minute I hang for, for the entire week. I ain’t gonna lie tho… I do miss Johno’s 3,4 and sometimes 5 uploads a week. But beggars can’t be choosers, so I’m still more than happy with any story at all, I can get from him. Mr B, are a bloody saint of saints, amongst all the story telling legends. Now let’s get uppa. 💯😁🤙🏼
Yeah, 20 minutes and around 5 of it is promotional, that’s a far leap from the start. He is probably busy making sure the live shows are on point, and with a history of anxiety and all of the many, many things that go into shows like that, I’m happy to give him a break. I feel lucky to get any of his time at all. And it was a great f-ing story. ❤
My city of birth and youth. This is only one of the very many macabre and disturbing events that could be described as being related to the strange, dark and mysterious inhabiting the shadows in Edinburgh. With so much history the place is positively infested!
Mr. Ballen, your videos bring comfort to me. My boyfriend of 11 years, a huge fan of the strange, dark, and mysterious, was killed in a hit and run in June. When we were doing long distance, we used to watch your videos “together” by choosing a time to start the video, and then we would text about what was happening in the story. I’ve always loved your content, but now there is an extra special layer of appreciation. Thank you Mr. Ballen and Rest In Peace Sabastian Jacob Klein ❤️ He would love it if you could like or respond to my comment. Edit: LMAO y’all are crazy if you think I was asking any of YOU to like or comment. I was talking about Mr. Ballen because my boyfriend was a huge fan and would have loved to see it. & I didn’t ask either! Saying that we would love a response from our favorite TH-camr isnt “scummy” or clout chasing. Y’all find a reason to make anything an issue!
My solution for insomnia! I know that most of you are still in Sunday but I'm in Monday now and its just after 4am. As I'm retired I don't have to be awake but listening to Mr B is a good way to relax and hopefully, I'll return to the land of slumber after listening to this story! Over 1000 people per minute had logged in to hear this man before 12 minutes had passed! Just extraordinary! Take care all wherever you are.
are you in Australia? im in Japan, its 3.30 am on monday here. I got work tomorrow but I stay awake every Sunday night in order to start my day after listening to mr B
@@vimalprs Yes! I didn't realise that I hadn't stated that before. I'm in NSW and now it's 4:42am and I am really tired! I hope that you manage to get some sleep before work and I just want to say that I would have loved to visit Japan for the cherry blossoms but sadly my health will prevent me from doing so but you live in a beautiful country. Take care and thanks for your reply!
I suffer from insomnia as well. and last night it was bad:(. I haven't found anything that works all the time. but some things work sometimes. lol. I hope you can get some sleep tonight.
I actually went to this same cemetery alone past midnight 3 years ago. I didn't see or hear anything spooky or haunting after around half an hour of being there, but I did get a picture of a very cute little mouse. It lived under this grave headstone with a small burrow on edge of it, quite close to the main path leading to the side entrance (on the right side of the church from the door) so if you do visit and notice a long headstone on the ground with a burrow, it's probably the one i'm talking about ! fun fact: one of the headstones there towards the back of the cemetery has the name inspiration for voldemort
bruh, went there 3 times past midnights, once alone once with a friend and last time in a group, every time it felt like I was being watched and it was indeed HAUNTING.
@@aadritapaul2808If you expect something or want to experience it, your brain will probably make it so. When you don't, you'll probably focus on things that are actually there, like a cute little mouse.
I know this cemetery well. It's the one Burke and Hare used to plunder, and you can still see some of the original mort cages they placed over the graves to stop them. Also, "kirk" is an old Scots word meaning church in case anyone was wondering.
burk and hare are the reason some cemeteries have the most beautiful and unique features.... many dont know the grim truth behind it. i love historical cemeteries
I usually don’t skip over the ads in your videos because you present them in such an interesting and comedic way, which is brilliantly genius by the way…. but I especially appreciate and enjoy when you do ads advocating for mental health awareness and better mental health in general. I am myself suffer from a laundry list of mental disorders, but I don’t let them run my life. It’s very sad that even today people still don’t fully understand how serious the situation is concerning mental health and the well-being of people who suffer it’s negative affects. One of the things I’ve always loved about your channel and your foundation and what you do is that you raise a awareness for this. Hoping to make a career in entertainment myself, I too, have a dream to use the platform to raise more awareness and safety and well-being for everyone. I love you and I love your channel. I have been subbed for many years now. Keep up the great work!
The King of England was also the King of Scotland at the time. In case anyone is puzzled. Charles II whose Grandfather King James VI of Scotland became King James I of England. I visited this location some years ago, early evening NOT late at night.
Mr Ballen, your videos are helping me more than I can explain right now. I've started training for a new job and today I found out my grandma died in April, but my dad didn't tell me she died so I wasn't able to attend her funeral - I'm under so much stress and your content stops me worrying even if its for a brief time, thank you ❤
I'm sorry for your loss, too. Especially since it was the passing of a family member and one so integral to your history. It's sad that your father didn't tell you; do you think that he was trying to protect you from grief or do you suppose he did it for another reason? Either way, it is my belief that your Grandma knows the situation and she wouldn't ever be disappointed with you about it. I don't know what your beliefs are, and I grew up without religion and any thought toward the afterlife. I have experienced so much that is unexplainable, however, that I am lead to realize that death is not the end and merely a gateway to something else. If it were just me and a handful of people, I wouldn't believe this with the conviction of which I do. It is a universal human experience, though, therefore even though it's a fallacy to draw conclusions this way, I can't but lean toward this explanation of what I think happens with us when this mortal body can no longer house us here. I saw something written on a wall that read: We do not have a Soul We ARE souls We HAVE a body or something to that effect. And we're made of energy which cannot be created nor destroyed, only transformed. This is from Newton's second law of thermodynamics. So my mom and dad still exist somewhere and that is why I talk to them. I don't care what anyone thinks of me, I know that they're there and that is all that matters to me. Similarly, I know your Grandma is somewhere and would be so happy if you talked to her, too. I have so many instances that confirm their ongoing existence but, for the sake of brevity, I'll have to end this. My brother did the same thing to me, btw, by not letting me know of the passing of beloved friends that we grew up with, and even one of my uncles. I don't know what his motive was but he's done some terribly mean things to me. This is to say that I know that feeling that you're going through, having not been told until so much later. It's a kind of betrayal and it hurts. I'm sorry that you're having such a difficult, stressful time. I'm sending you good vibes. They're waves of relief, happiness and the knowledge that you are going to be fine, they're waves of excitement about your training and a new beginning that can take you to great things! These waves of reassurance are being directed to you in your favourite colours, sailing to you on your favourite music, and they'll surround you as you sleep, so you can know that you are safe! I know it's hard right now, but you've got this. I wish you peaceful and lovely dreams tonight. When you go to bed, that time is YOURS, put today's events away. Don't let it keep you from your own time. Don't let it sneak in, either, it will try! No, this is it for you today. You've had enough today. What can you do overnight anyway, right? So banish it from you now. Sweet dreams, my dear! Ps: I know you'd rather have Mr. Ballen reply to your text. Oh well, ya got me instead. I didn't proofread this so there maybe typos or auto-correct in the text. Sorry about that, I just want to send this off asap. Sorry it's long but some things aren't easy to make short. Good luck with your training and congratulations for landing your new job!!! I'm happy for you!!! pps: I had to line that saying about souls properly. It came out wonky the first time. If you ever have time to get back to me, don't feel obligated too though, I was curious about your new job. What's it in? Just curious.
One of my favorite stories. Ive heard of judge's who are so afraid of dying for exactly the same reason, for sentencing other's to death. Thanks so much. ❤❤❤❤
Aww I used to watch “Greyfriars Bobby” at least once a year 🥺😭 for anyone interested.. the cemetery was renamed “Greyfriars Kirk yard” after a small dogs devotion to his master.. after he died, the dog would lay on his masters grave every day and they couldn’t keep him out.. they finally stopped trying and he became such a beloved character for the area.. there’s a little statue of him outside the kirk yard. It’s a tragic but beautiful story of a furry soulmate.
@@curtismantle was it really? I stand corrected 🥰 thank you ☺️.. I was brought up believing it. Aww that wee dug wis a better story 😅. I loved that movie growing up and ma da always told me it was true 😅 ahhh well… 😄
The dog is real. Just the name of the cemetary wasn't named after him. The dog was named as if belonging to Greyfriars because he spent so much time there. @@NikkigandCo
Even before you mentioned Scotland, when you said the cemetery wouldn't stop hurting people, I knew EXACTLY where this was on the planet. Edited after listening to the rest of the video...dear Mr Ballen, you said the cemetery wasn't considered haunted until a homeless guy fell in the pit in 1998. I grew up around there in the '60s and '70s, and the cemetery WAS considered generally haunted back then. Maybe the specific Mackenzie haunting started in 1998?
You have no idea how proud I was when I walked into work yesterday to find my coworker watching your channel!! I was talking to them about your clinical lycanthropy video the other day, so to find out I turned them onto your channel was a huge deal to me! 😊 ❤
Yeah, no eyes, or any facial features. Humans just want to believe it. Just like people thought they saw a face on the Martian terrain, or how people make out objects from oddly shaped clouds.
Indeed. I actually thought that the truly human shaped figure was in the right window, not the left one. I’m sure the photographer didn’t scream at seeing a shadow! 😂
7:04 The little cartoon caricature of John in the middle of that photo confused me for just a second. I was thinking, "Man, I really hope this isn't the picture he said he'd be showing later on in the video." 😆
Mr. Allen, thank you so much for being open and honest about what you went through after your service. It takes a lot of guts to admit when your having dark thoughts. I'm sorry you had to go through that, but Soo proud of you that you sought help. I can't think what it would be like without you around. You have done so well for yourself and have a beautiful family and you have inspired me to talk about my dark thoughts. I grew up in Massachusetts myself so I feel like we have that in common also! Thank you deeply for your service and dedication. I would love to meet you some day, trying to get to your show in mass, but if I don't I'm sure we will someday. All the best, and keep doing what you're doing! Thanks- Nate
I just lost my dad yesterday morning and your video helped me occupy my mind even if it was just for a bit it relaxed me from the tortuer and pain that comes with grieving, i truly do appreciate it so much brother!
@@Zyryne1 Wow I bet your a great person, I am on PC with auto correct on, and the last thing I care about is my spelling or checking it, especially when I caint even think because I have had 4 hrs of sleep, but I fixed so I don't have to deal with people leaving rude comments like yours. Thanks for correcting me.
As soon as he said Scotland I knew exactly where he was talking about. I've visited this cemetery a couple of times (I'm from Glasgow which isn't far from Edinburgh). And I've not experienced anything scary in there before. However even when it was just me and a friend in whatever area of the cemetery when no one else was around we'd always feel like we were being watched and could hear talking nearby. I have experienced apparitions in the Edinburgh Vaults before.
That photo was just the shadow of the gravestone in front of it. It's the exact same shape and makes perfect sense to where the camera was and how the light flashed.
No, I don't think so. If you look, the shadow from the camera flash sends the shadows from the cross gravestone down and slightly to the right. Same with the shadow from the Rev's hand on the gravestone to his other side. And if it had been the shadow from the cross gravestone in the window, you'd be able to see the color contrast of the shadow on the white parts in the window pane, but you don't. Not clearly, anyway. I don't even think you could potentially argue the light source for the window-shadow being the candle because the flash would drown that out, too. It's definitely weird, but I'm quite ready to say that's for sure a ghost, either.
On the other hand, you might not be wrong, either. I forgot about the other 11 candles on the ground, too. But it's still odd that the shadow doesn't appear to actually cross the white parts in the window pane, either.
Yep, just said the same. I’ve been doing photography over 50 years and learned to see how shadows will fall from a fixed position on camera, and the cone shape they follow. 100% tombstone, no doubt in my mind. And I’m a believer.
@@slidetek In that case, how is the camera flash throwing a shadow in two directions? Why can't you see the shadow on the white parts of the window pane?
Mrballen sir, for you to explain your pain to millions of people and how you found your peace is so inspiring. I know you’ve been talking about betterhelp for a while now and I am very happy that it worked for you. My husband and I share our account, we have been big fans for years and believe it or not YOU MAKE A DIFFERENCE!! Thank you
this one was truly horrifying I can’t imagine how he was thinking putting all those people through torture alive than chopping their heads and putting them on sticks, this world houses some pretty insane human beings to say the least

5 mins up the road from my house, A homeless guy got attacked in a crypt he was sleeping in, pulled through a level of the crypt, well known in Edinburgh for being haunted, he wasn't the first so they have now gated it off..
I miss these kind of spooky stories from you. Nowadays almost all stories are about true crime and no matter how interesting they are, supernatural stories will always top them out !
FYI according to folklore cemetery gates are made of iron to keep the spirits in as iron has a long history of defending against spirits and fae, it’s also why horse shoes are seen as lucky
It legit looks like Collin's shadow reflecting in the window because of the flash. It has the same shape and you can even see a small part of the candle he has in his hands lol
MrBallen, every time I have a problem going on, I watch a strange, dark, and mysterious video to help me. Thanks so much for touching the lives of your viewers, and I hope you continue making videos for years to come!!!
It's a shadow cast from the candle he's holding, from the gravestones. Ive watched you since the very beginning Mr B, back when you had less than 1000 subscribers... Your content is THEE BEST, I cannot wait for every video. Every podcast, every TM, but today, alas, this is not paranormal.
I love his stories and stuff, but everytime It's something "Paranormal" I just don't get excited at all. It kinda ruins the whole idea of "True horror" kinda story.
this story felt really surreal to me because I was on vacation in scotland about three weeks ago now and I am part part scotish as well.Thank You MrBallen for your stories they make me have something to look forward to every week
I am a descendant of Clan Muirhead, the following has been said of my clan: "James Grosset Muirhead [1706-1776] is also credited with the recovery of the ballad of the "Laird of Muirhead" which recounts the story of the defeat of the Scottish army by the English at the Battle of Flodden, in 1513. The Muirhead clan had the signal honour of serving as King James IV of Scotland's royal bodyguards during the battle. King James, and his son, Alexander, were both slain, along with the flower of Scottish chivalry, including the Laird of Muirhead, John Muirhead [ca. 1443-1513], and over two hundred of his clansmen also perished in the battle."
I’m from just outside Edinburgh and this was a scary place that we went as teens on an occasion or two. The sad but heartwarming tale of Greyfriar’s Bobby along with the hauntings that have occurred show two very different sides of the same place.
I got the pleasure of visiting Scotland this summer, and visited Grey Friers cemetery. We even went up to George Mackenzie’s mausoleum and knocked on the doors saying hello. Scotland was beautiful and has a rich history, would definitely recommend it to anyone who has considered going.
I think it can be different if you go there at night. (I've been there too, in Edinburgh and visited that cemetery, but in daylight and with people around). I too recommend visiting Scotland, of course.
I notice you said Scotland was it should be is right Scotland and Ireland has beautiful and magnificent land I’ve only seen it in video I can imagine going there walking and looking at the vast beauty wow
I mean, it's like the saying about having a heart attack in a hospital, we all gotta die someday, dying in a cemetary seems like the most logical off-ramp.
I work at a cemetery, back in 2016 a guy drove in to visit his wife I guess or other loved one, he parked not far from where me and my coworker were planting flowers. We heard his horn go off and it didn't cease. We look up and notice his head is resting on the steering wheel. He happened to park not far from the sales office, one of the workers called for an ambulance. We sat there for 20 minutes kinda watching the guy sit in his car horn blaring when the ambulance comes flying in and locates him immediately, paramedics get out and pull the guy out of the car, we're watching this. They check him over but we don't see him moving, they put him on a gurney and then drape a white sheet over him. They then stand there for approximately 45 minutes talking. Guys still on the gurney behind them with a sheet, they haven't put him in the ambulance yet. They wrap up their conversation and put him in the back of the ambulance, then without sirens or lights slowly drive away. His car remained for 4 days before a tow truck came to retrieve it
@@mrbeefy604A dude slumped over a steering wheel with the horn blaring typically means "I need CPR immediately", maybe not as entertaining as "kinda watching" him die with your thumb up your ass for 20 minutes, but maybe try acting like you give a sh1t about another human from time to time

My Marine vet daughter is married to a DEV and constantly tells her hubby Recon is harder than what he does. It's not but she has to tweek his nose every now and then. 😂
My partner is an historian, and we live in Edinburgh. He has done a lot of research on this kirkyard, at the behest of the Scottish Government. In fact, this was a graveyard, before there was a kirk there. The population petitioned Mary, Queen of Scots, to build a kirk there, and she granted permission. The land has been built on, and built on for hundreds of years. Every time the kirkyard was full, they would cover it in earth and start burying people again. The kirkyard abuts Candlemaker Row, and used to be the same level as that street, whereas now, it is about a high as a double decker bus. My partner says that a conservative esitmate of people buried in the kirkyard, is about 250,000.
There is a mass grave there, but the covenanters who are buried there, were mostly hanged at the Grasssmarket, nearby. The monument which has been built for them in Greyfriars Kirkyard was put up some years later due to a political movement which demanded acknowledgement of their unfair deaths. George Mackenzie was actually the first to propose that births, death and marriages were documented in a registry, and he was also a proponent of public libraries.
Then true story with his mausoleum, and why it is chained up, is that a couple of goths broke in - there are about six or seven people buried in his mausoleum - and stole a skull. They were playing football with it, and the police were summoned by local homeless people. The judge at their trial came down hard on them as Mackenzie was an important historical figure.
The story of the haunting Mr Ballen told today is a good yarn, but most of it was invented by an enterprising tour guide. The exorcism attempt is factual. Colin Grant did indeed go into the kirkyard, to perform an exorcism, and after his death, the Edinburgh City Council locked up the covenanters prison. The official reason is that homeless people were sleeping in the kirkyard, and since the kirkyard was becoming a tourist location, the homeless sleeping there would look bad.
It is a shame that they did so, as the homeless who were sleeping there were actually taking care of the kirkyard, and they prevented vandalisms like the goths who stole the skull.
Gosh, this is a long post, but my partner and I passionate about history, and especially Greyfriars, since my partner has done so much work on it. If you got to the end of this post, thanks for reading.

That is the cemeterywhere Bobby (a Skye Terrier) laid on his owners grave for 14yrs. Bobby followed the funeral precession and watched his owners coffin lowered into the ground. Bobby would spend every night laying on his owners grave crying. The local townspeople would feed him. When dog catchers tried to catch him for being unlicensed a noble who loved dogs permanently paid for his tags. There is a statue of Bobby near the cemetery as well as a bar named for him.
Oh wow! I vaguely remember hearing something about that, but I didn't realize he had been there everyday for 14 years! That's got me choked up with tears. That poor, sweet baby. I can tell his owners loved in an exceptionally profound and genuine way, and obviously, he felt the same. Thank you for sharing this with us. What an awesome story

I'm no expert, so I'm just gonna say what I see in this photo.
The photo is taken with extended exposure, no bright camera flash. There's a second point light source to the right of the camera, evident by the glare from the panel beneath the window. It's colder than the rest, likely a maglite or similar flashlight held by the journalist. Looking at the intense and colder exposure of the front of the hand holding the candle, that's probably what he's pointing the flashlight at.
You can see the red camera indicator, and the cooler light reflection glare, under the window. But the photo itself has a much warmer tone than if that cold light was directly illuminating the shot. It's visible as effects of the prolonged exposure time, not direct angle reflection. Had the latter been the case, the whole image would just be a big lightblob.
What's seen in the window, is a shadow cast by the celtic cross, being partially illuminated by the narrow beam of the flashlight.
Bro, wtf
@@RebeccaTurcu ...no?
I agree it looks like the the shadow from the cross.
@@vodyannoi At least the way I personally see it and understand the surroundings and context, a major portion of the "issue" causing suspicion here is the camera angle an lighting. But I believe those would be explained by the photo being taken only by prolonged exposure (from the camera orientation perspective), and there being another sharp point light source like s flashlight coming from a different angle. And I believe we have that here. Another conforming possibility is that the shadow is cast by that partial lighting of the priest's hand (that appears not directly reflecting but overexposed but by a/ that second light source, as it's not directly lit parallel to the photo angle).
@@pr0xZen no, I mean like how you can............make an entire page of this. I mean image it on paper man. You're cool I could never write this much about such things

The Covenanters were imprisoned outdoors with little to no shelter. They would sleep on the cold ground at night and were forbidden to move around. To increase their suffering, the guards would throw buckets of freezing water over them during the winter. Of the 1200 held there for 5 months, almost 1000 died from exposure, disease or starvation!
Wikipedia says it was only 400 out of the 1200

I wanna go there
Please share more!
I live in Scotland to mate, been there a few times aswell and i completely agree with you! there's something that doesn't feel right every time I've been, by far the creepiest place I've been
I went there after the tattoo two years ago, it has it's creepy places, but I generally felt safer there. I am weird enough to talk to the residents as I wander round though, thanking them for putting up with my presence and apologising if I have disturbed them. It seems to work. There was only one or two crypts I felt pushed back from. And I didn't go into the covenanters cemetery because it was locked.
Have to say, I disagree, been there loads of times day & night, I don't find it creepy or scary at all...just a very cool graveyard.
I had a reading from Rev Colin Grant at my friends house in the mid eighties, nice gentle man! I also had a strange encounter at the Kirkyard gates maybe a year or so later. My hubby and I had the kids at Edinburgh museum for the day, then we walked along to see Grayfriars Bobby, ( The dog who got freedom of the city) we decided to walk down to the grassmarket to get chips from the chippy, on the way back up Candlemakers row, there’s a side gate into the Cemetery , it was a gorgeous day no wind and no other people in sight! My hubby and the kids were in front of me as we passed the gate, I was at the back taking in the sights, when all of a sudden my bag of chips seemed to be knocked clean out of my hands and landed on the ground! The boys thought it was hilarious that I dropped my food, but, I didn’t drop it! It was knocked out of my hands! That was when I realised we were right outside the side gate to the kirkyard! Couldn’t get out of there fast enough! Not an exceptional story but that was forty years ago and will never forget it! Xx

It wasn't for "leaking" patient information, it was for SELLING patient information
yet mr ballen happily takes there money knowing hes selling out the vulnerable part of his audience
All I know is whoever came up with the idea to call for an exorcist is probably the guy who roofied and strangled that lady outside the cemetery.

Better help isn't a therapy provider, it's a tech company. I wouldn't ever recommend getting therapy from better help. They treat their patients badly, and their staff even worse.
I know that you have to keep the lights on, but recommending better help, is doing a genuine disservice to anyone in your audience that actually needs help.

thank you for all the hard work you do to deliver these stories to us, it really means so much more than you know. 💙
I have never had anything pertinent to add to any of these stories until now. Back in the early 90s, I was living and working in Edinburgh and have been to this Kirk, which is quite serene during the day. However, the father of one of the women I worked with used to be the curator of Greyfriar's Kirk, and he had one heck of a story to tell! It was his job to kick up the kirk each night, and open it every morning. He has done so for years and has no issues or experiences. However, one week he felt very uneasy in the kirk as he locked it up, and felt like he was being watched. Then one night, as he was turning out the lights, he saw a woman in strange clothing with a young child. They looked at him, and then the woman said to the child, "Don't be afraid, he can't hurt you." At which point the two of them turned around and walked through the wall of the kirk. My friend's father was so frightened by the experience that he made his son close up in the evenings because he refused to. Apparently, according to my coworker, there had been an orphanage on the spot of Greyfriar's before the kirk. I haven't done the research to prove or disprove that, but I did make a point of visiting the site as soon as I could. It was completely uneventful for me, but I love the stories.
Thank you for sharing that. Spooky!

I actually feel like there's another perspective to this. George being buried there in a grand mausoleum on top of the graves of those he tortured is highly disrespectful . It's entirely possible that the activity is not George himself, but rather the spirits who are angry because of this. Perhaps even both. I feel like George's body should be moved elsewhere in a less spectacular grave and the mausoleum made into a memorial to his victims. Perhaps that would bring them peace and a sense of justice. That is just how I felt through this entire story anyway.
That's what I thought too+

Mr Ballen's humble dispositions, clear narrations and charming personality has brought him to the tops of podcasts, congratulations !
MrBallen your videos have saved my life truly! 4 months sober today!
Well done! I have faith you can stay sober, bless you.
Awesome best wishes for your continued healing ❤️
I have also had a lot of help continuing being clean and sober watching MrBallen ❤❤. Keep going my friend. Recovery is possible
Very proud of you!!! God bless 👍😊
Yessss…. He is a great motivator i wish could meet him some day
My solution for insomnia! I know that most of you are still in Sunday but I'm in Monday now and its just after 4am. As I'm retired I don't have to be awake but listening to Mr B is a good way to relax and hopefully, I'll return to the land of slumber after listening to this story! Over 1000 people per minute had logged in to hear this man before 12 minutes had passed! Just extraordinary! Take care all wherever you are.
are you in Australia? im in Japan, its 3.30 am on monday here. I got work tomorrow but I stay awake every Sunday night in order to start my day after listening to mr B
@@vimalprs Yes! I didn't realise that I hadn't stated that before. I'm in NSW and now it's 4:42am and I am really tired! I hope that you manage to get some sleep before work and I just want to say that I would have loved to visit Japan for the cherry blossoms but sadly my health will prevent me from doing so but you live in a beautiful country. Take care and thanks for your reply!
THANK YOU & RIGHT BACKATCHA ( UK ) 💛💛💛
I suffer from insomnia as well. and last night it was bad:(. I haven't found anything that works all the time. but some things work sometimes. lol. I hope you can get some sleep tonight.
@@RealLifeHeroes7 exhaustion works for me. If I get 4 hrs straight I consider myself lucky❤
Thank you for encouraging others to reach out for help when the negativity is overwhelming.
I actually went to this same cemetery alone past midnight 3 years ago. I didn't see or hear anything spooky or haunting after around half an hour of being there, but I did get a picture of a very cute little mouse. It lived under this grave headstone with a small burrow on edge of it, quite close to the main path leading to the side entrance (on the right side of the church from the door) so if you do visit and notice a long headstone on the ground with a burrow, it's probably the one i'm talking about !
fun fact: one of the headstones there towards the back of the cemetery has the name inspiration for voldemort
bruh, went there 3 times past midnights, once alone once with a friend and last time in a group, every time it felt like I was being watched and it was indeed HAUNTING.
@@aadritapaul2808 interesting how different our experiences have been. maybe I should go again just for good measure
@@aadritapaul2808If you expect something or want to experience it, your brain will probably make it so. When you don't, you'll probably focus on things that are actually there, like a cute little mouse.
I know this cemetery well. It's the one Burke and Hare used to plunder, and you can still see some of the original mort cages they placed over the graves to stop them. Also, "kirk" is an old Scots word meaning church in case anyone was wondering.
burk and hare are the reason some cemeteries have the most beautiful and unique features.... many dont know the grim truth behind it.
i love historical cemeteries
I read about Burke & Hare. So this is the graveyard they got body’s from if they didn’t murdered the poor victims themself
Interesting
Burke and... Hare??! 😨
Family name is Scottish and I did not know “Kirk” means church. Thank you! Hope to visit the land is my ancestors someday.
@@andyhillhouse9813 Burke and Hare usually just murdered their bodies.
Happy Mr. Ballen day to all. Always look forward to Sundays because of this channel.

I usually don’t skip over the ads in your videos because you present them in such an interesting and comedic way, which is brilliantly genius by the way…. but I especially appreciate and enjoy when you do ads advocating for mental health awareness and better mental health in general. I am myself suffer from a laundry list of mental disorders, but I don’t let them run my life. It’s very sad that even today people still don’t fully understand how serious the situation is concerning mental health and the well-being of people who suffer it’s negative affects. One of the things I’ve always loved about your channel and your foundation and what you do is that you raise a awareness for this. Hoping to make a career in entertainment myself, I too, have a dream to use the platform to raise more awareness and safety and well-being for everyone. I love you and I love your channel. I have been subbed for many years now. Keep up the great work!
The King of England was also the King of Scotland at the time. In case anyone is puzzled. Charles II whose Grandfather King James VI of Scotland became King James I of England.
I visited this location some years ago, early evening NOT late at night.
Mr Ballen, your videos are helping me more than I can explain right now. I've started training for a new job and today I found out my grandma died in April, but my dad didn't tell me she died so I wasn't able to attend her funeral - I'm under so much stress and your content stops me worrying even if its for a brief time, thank you ❤
@@ellewilliams3268 so sorry for your loss! 🙏🏼
I'm sorry for your loss, too. Especially since it was the passing of a family member and one so integral to your history. It's sad that your father didn't tell you; do you think that he was trying to protect you from grief or do you suppose he did it for another reason? Either way, it is my belief that your Grandma knows the situation and she wouldn't ever be disappointed with you about it. I don't know what your beliefs are, and I grew up without religion and any thought toward the afterlife. I have experienced so much that is unexplainable, however, that I am lead to realize that death is not the end and merely a gateway to something else. If it were just me and a handful of people, I wouldn't believe this with the conviction of which I do. It is a universal human experience, though, therefore even though it's a fallacy to draw conclusions this way, I can't but lean toward this explanation of what I think happens with us when this mortal body can no longer house us here. I saw something written on a wall that read:
We do not have a Soul
We ARE souls
We HAVE a body
or something to that effect. And we're made of energy which cannot be created nor destroyed, only transformed. This is from Newton's second law of thermodynamics. So my mom and dad still exist somewhere and that is why I talk to them. I don't care what anyone thinks of me, I know that they're there and that is all that matters to me. Similarly, I know your Grandma is somewhere and would be so happy if you talked to her, too. I have so many instances that confirm their ongoing existence but, for the sake of brevity, I'll have to end this. My brother did the same thing to me, btw, by not letting me know of the passing of beloved friends that we grew up with, and even one of my uncles. I don't know what his motive was but he's done some terribly mean things to me. This is to say that I know that feeling that you're going through, having not been told until so much later. It's a kind of betrayal and it hurts. I'm sorry that you're having such a difficult, stressful time. I'm sending you good vibes. They're waves of relief, happiness and the knowledge that you are going to be fine, they're waves of excitement about your training and a new beginning that can take you to great things! These waves of reassurance are being directed to you in your favourite colours, sailing to you on your favourite music, and they'll surround you as you sleep, so you can know that you are safe! I know it's hard right now, but you've got this. I wish you peaceful and lovely dreams tonight. When you go to bed, that time is YOURS, put today's events away. Don't let it keep you from your own time. Don't let it sneak in, either, it will try! No, this is it for you today. You've had enough today. What can you do overnight anyway, right? So banish it from you now. Sweet dreams, my dear!
Ps: I know you'd rather have Mr. Ballen reply to your text. Oh well, ya got me instead. I didn't proofread this so there maybe typos or auto-correct in the text. Sorry about that, I just want to send this off asap. Sorry it's long but some things aren't easy to make short. Good luck with your training and congratulations for landing your new job!!! I'm happy for you!!!
pps: I had to line that saying about souls properly. It came out wonky the first time. If you ever have time to get back to me, don't feel obligated too though, I was curious about your new job. What's it in? Just curious.
Thanks for uploading! I really need something to listen to while I power through these chores.
Only thing that gets me through work!
One of my favorite stories. Ive heard of judge's who are so afraid of dying for exactly the same reason, for sentencing other's to death. Thanks so much. ❤❤❤❤
Aww I used to watch “Greyfriars Bobby” at least once a year 🥺😭 for anyone interested.. the cemetery was renamed “Greyfriars Kirk yard” after a small dogs devotion to his master.. after he died, the dog would lay on his masters grave every day and they couldn’t keep him out.. they finally stopped trying and he became such a beloved character for the area.. there’s a little statue of him outside the kirk yard. It’s a tragic but beautiful story of a furry soulmate.
The cemetery isn’t named after the dog - it was named after a nearby Friary.
@@curtismantle was it really? I stand corrected 🥰 thank you ☺️.. I was brought up believing it. Aww that wee dug wis a better story 😅. I loved that movie growing up and ma da always told me it was true 😅 ahhh well… 😄
The dog is real. Just the name of the cemetary wasn't named after him. The dog was named as if belonging to Greyfriars because he spent so much time there. @@NikkigandCo
The story is true, but his name was just Bobby. He wouldn't leave the gate after his human was buried at Greyfriars kirkyard.
this is the kind of content i love from your channel, not so much the true crime but the spooky dark and myterious... this is your best content
I totally second that! 😊👌🏻
Thank you for making this Sunday better

I’m so happy you did this video I’ve wanted someone to cover this cemetery for a while!!
10:00 to skip BetterBS ad
Thank you
Thank you!!! :)
Danke.
Thank you.
Cheers. I pay for premium so I don’t get adds and creators do this BS. It’s why I now only watch him or others 1/4 as much as I used to.
Even before you mentioned Scotland, when you said the cemetery wouldn't stop hurting people, I knew EXACTLY where this was on the planet. Edited after listening to the rest of the video...dear Mr Ballen, you said the cemetery wasn't considered haunted until a homeless guy fell in the pit in 1998. I grew up around there in the '60s and '70s, and the cemetery WAS considered generally haunted back then. Maybe the specific Mackenzie haunting started in 1998?
Literally never miss a single video of MrBallen. It’s so addicted!
Addictive*
Thank you!!
You're not the only one.
You have no idea how proud I was when I walked into work yesterday to find my coworker watching your channel!! I was talking to them about your clinical lycanthropy video the other day, so to find out I turned them onto your channel was a huge deal to me! 😊 ❤
I'll state the obvious, the shape in the window looks like an archway, it's not even in the shape of a person.
Yeah, no eyes, or any facial features. Humans just want to believe it. Just like people thought they saw a face on the Martian terrain, or how people make out objects from oddly shaped clouds.
Also don't people who are near to death typically experience anxiety and a sense of dread?
Indeed. I actually thought that the truly human shaped figure was in the right window, not the left one. I’m sure the photographer didn’t scream at seeing a shadow! 😂
It's the shadow of the Celtic cross monument in front of the window.
I thought it looked like Collin's reflection, since the flash would have been lighting everything up
Please stoo taking BetterHelp sponsorships!
Literally, such a useless service
Fr. They must pay well. Super predatory service
As long as they pay well people will do it regardless
I came to say the same thing
Is there a reason why? Do people have bad experiences with them?
7:04 The little cartoon caricature of John in the middle of that photo confused me for just a second. I was thinking, "Man, I really hope this isn't the picture he said he'd be showing later on in the video." 😆
nice catch
reminds me of the old vids where he pinned the first comment to find a hidden thing in the video ^^"
There isn’t anything there??
Ohhhh snap!!! Never mind I see him now 😂😂😂😂

Mr. Allen, thank you so much for being open and honest about what you went through after your service. It takes a lot of guts to admit when your having dark thoughts. I'm sorry you had to go through that, but Soo proud of you that you sought help. I can't think what it would be like without you around. You have done so well for yourself and have a beautiful family and you have inspired me to talk about my dark thoughts. I grew up in Massachusetts myself so I feel like we have that in common also! Thank you deeply for your service and dedication. I would love to meet you some day, trying to get to your show in mass, but if I don't I'm sure we will someday. All the best, and keep doing what you're doing! Thanks- Nate
It's okay to not be okay, Mr. Ballen. I've been there. I know PTSD. And depression. Im glad you are doing better.
I love your story telling! You keep me engaged and on edge every time! You leave me wanting to binge listen and I have to pace myself!
I just lost my dad yesterday morning and your video helped me occupy my mind even if it was just for a bit it relaxed me from the tortuer and pain that comes with grieving, i truly do appreciate it so much brother!
Torture? Listening to a master story teller while illiterate is an interesting dichotomy. I guess. 😊❤

That shadow is 100% the shadow from that Celtic cross. The rest is just the power of human imagination.
No
As soon as he said Scotland I knew exactly where he was talking about. I've visited this cemetery a couple of times (I'm from Glasgow which isn't far from Edinburgh). And I've not experienced anything scary in there before. However even when it was just me and a friend in whatever area of the cemetery when no one else was around we'd always feel like we were being watched and could hear talking nearby. I have experienced apparitions in the Edinburgh Vaults before.
That photo was just the shadow of the gravestone in front of it. It's the exact same shape and makes perfect sense to where the camera was and how the light flashed.
No, I don't think so. If you look, the shadow from the camera flash sends the shadows from the cross gravestone down and slightly to the right. Same with the shadow from the Rev's hand on the gravestone to his other side. And if it had been the shadow from the cross gravestone in the window, you'd be able to see the color contrast of the shadow on the white parts in the window pane, but you don't. Not clearly, anyway. I don't even think you could potentially argue the light source for the window-shadow being the candle because the flash would drown that out, too.
It's definitely weird, but I'm quite ready to say that's for sure a ghost, either.
On the other hand, you might not be wrong, either. I forgot about the other 11 candles on the ground, too. But it's still odd that the shadow doesn't appear to actually cross the white parts in the window pane, either.
Yep, just said the same. I’ve been doing photography over 50 years and learned to see how shadows will fall from a fixed position on camera, and the cone shape they follow. 100% tombstone, no doubt in my mind. And I’m a believer.
@@slidetek In that case, how is the camera flash throwing a shadow in two directions? Why can't you see the shadow on the white parts of the window pane?
Mrballen sir, for you to explain your pain to millions of people and how you found your peace is so inspiring. I know you’ve been talking about betterhelp for a while now and I am very happy that it worked for you. My husband and I share our account, we have been big fans for years and believe it or not YOU MAKE A DIFFERENCE!! Thank you
this one was truly horrifying I can’t imagine how he was thinking putting all those people through torture alive than chopping their heads and putting them on sticks, this world houses some pretty insane human beings to say the least
Thanks MR. BALLEN, gives me something to look forward to on Sunday . Some Sunday scaries relief.
My favorite part of the day!! ❤❤ Thanks Mr. Ballen
Since your channel's inception, I've been a fan of your strange, dark, mysterious, spooky, evocative, upsetting, terrifying, amazing, nightmarish and downright scary stories- narrated to storytelling perfection.
2:46 lol you said doodie
😂😂
😂😂😂
Yeh you think we aussies speak funny mate!😅😅😅
😂😂😂 I caught that too
😂😂😂
I'm not at all convinced that the photo shows a person.
Most prob the preacher's shadow caused by the flash
@@PhillyBruwer Or it could be the Shadow of the Headstone right by Colin... It also looks kinda like a Doorway, or Entrance in the Church, I mean they might not have been inside the Church to know what it looks like in there.
@@PhillyBruwer No way
Right lol that photo was way a whole lotta nothing and the story just sounded like yapping as it progressed, like he just needed a vid so he can put his ad in it
It is definitely a smudge also it’s too pixelated to even be anything 😂
5 mins up the road from my house, A homeless guy got attacked in a crypt he was sleeping in, pulled through a level of the crypt, well known in Edinburgh for being haunted, he wasn't the first so they have now gated it off..
Sitting down for this! Thank you Mr Ballen for this story!😊😊
Holy moly mrb.. Over 9mil! Congrats
Thank you!
I miss these kind of spooky stories from you.
Nowadays almost all stories are about true crime and no matter how interesting they are, supernatural stories will always top them out !
I'm with you on this. True crimes only help me pass time, but supernatural stories get me intrigued.
Totally agree! He has changed his format unfortunately. I liked his earlier videos so much better :(
FYI according to folklore cemetery gates are made of iron to keep the spirits in as iron has a long history of defending against spirits and fae, it’s also why horse shoes are seen as lucky
It legit looks like Collin's shadow reflecting in the window because of the flash. It has the same shape and you can even see a small part of the candle he has in his hands lol
Same thing I thought
Yes! Why’s this the first comment I’ve seen mention this!
Exactly what I thought too -
This takes the strange dark and mysterious delivered in story format to a whole new level
I Imagined the hand gestures 🎉🎉❤😂

Loving MrBallen content a while now and finally got my wife to watch videos with me and now it’s our Sunday evening tradition
That’s awesome!! 🙌
I got my husband hooked too 😁 Awesome storytelling!
It's a shadow cast from the candle he's holding, from the gravestones.
Ive watched you since the very beginning Mr B, back when you had less than 1000 subscribers... Your content is THEE BEST, I cannot wait for every video. Every podcast, every TM, but today, alas, this is not paranormal.
I love his stories and stuff, but everytime It's something "Paranormal" I just don't get excited at all. It kinda ruins the whole idea of "True horror" kinda story.
this story felt really surreal to me because I was on vacation in scotland about three weeks ago now and I am part part scotish as well.Thank You MrBallen for your stories they make me have something to look forward to every week
So Happy For Another Mr B vid!!
HAPPY SUNDAY EVERYONE and I hope yall enjoy this video as much as me ❤️
I love that you brought back the little hidden picture!!! What a fun surprise!!! I loved seeing mini Ballen at 7:08 ❤
MiniBallen 😭
I am a descendant of Clan Muirhead, the following has been said of my clan:
"James Grosset Muirhead [1706-1776] is also credited with the recovery of the ballad of the "Laird of Muirhead" which recounts the story of the defeat of the Scottish army by the English at the Battle of Flodden, in 1513. The Muirhead clan had the signal honour of serving as King James IV of Scotland's royal bodyguards during the battle. King James, and his son, Alexander, were both slain, along with the flower of Scottish chivalry, including the Laird of Muirhead, John Muirhead [ca. 1443-1513], and over two hundred of his clansmen also perished in the battle."
❤❤❤
I’m from just outside Edinburgh and this was a scary place that we went as teens on an occasion or two. The sad but heartwarming tale of Greyfriar’s Bobby along with the hauntings that have occurred show two very different sides of the same place.
I got the pleasure of visiting Scotland this summer, and visited Grey Friers cemetery.
We even went up to George Mackenzie’s mausoleum and knocked on the doors saying hello.
Scotland was beautiful and has a rich history, would definitely recommend it to anyone who has considered going.
Nothing?
I think it can be different if you go there at night. (I've been there too, in Edinburgh and visited that cemetery, but in daylight and with people around). I too recommend visiting Scotland, of course.
I notice you said Scotland was it should be is right Scotland and Ireland has beautiful and magnificent land I’ve only seen it in video I can imagine going there walking and looking at the vast beauty wow
Who's there? Jehovah's Witnesses. Psych!
That seems really disrespectful, don't knock on mausoleum doors ya darn tourist 🤨
So glad that you got the help you needed John. All of us are so grateful to have you here with us today. ❤

@@MrBallen I’ll be at your show in Durham, NC btw, so my fiancé and I will be getting to meet you finally 😁 we’re super excited
I mean, it's like the saying about having a heart attack in a hospital, we all gotta die someday, dying in a cemetary seems like the most logical off-ramp.
I work at a cemetery, back in 2016 a guy drove in to visit his wife I guess or other loved one, he parked not far from where me and my coworker were planting flowers. We heard his horn go off and it didn't cease. We look up and notice his head is resting on the steering wheel.
He happened to park not far from the sales office, one of the workers called for an ambulance. We sat there for 20 minutes kinda watching the guy sit in his car horn blaring when the ambulance comes flying in and locates him immediately, paramedics get out and pull the guy out of the car, we're watching this. They check him over but we don't see him moving, they put him on a gurney and then drape a white sheet over him. They then stand there for approximately 45 minutes talking. Guys still on the gurney behind them with a sheet, they haven't put him in the ambulance yet. They wrap up their conversation and put him in the back of the ambulance, then without sirens or lights slowly drive away. His car remained for 4 days before a tow truck came to retrieve it
@@mrbeefy604lol sounds funny
Huh?😂 super funny right @@SimpleLifeAlways81
@@mrbeefy604A dude slumped over a steering wheel with the horn blaring typically means "I need CPR immediately", maybe not as entertaining as "kinda watching" him die with your thumb up your ass for 20 minutes, but maybe try acting like you give a sh1t about another human from time to time
Well, convenient at least
