OMG, I have been to that coffee shop. common grounds is very popular in anchorage. Didn’t know this story before. Interesting to learn it with you.

He didn't cover the strange upbringing that Keyes had. Keyes's parents were religious fanatics who didn't believe in the govt. and he was born without a birth certificate, home schooled (so no school records), no social security number, etc. He joined the army and that is the only record of his life until he was arrested. He was a phantom who worked odd jobs off the books. If he hadn't been sloppy and killed in his own town he might have killed for years without anybody knowing he existed. This is one scary dude.

The best story teller on the internet. His attention to detail is nuts

It flabbergasts me how anyone can do these things! Love Mr Ballen….great story teller!

I was a manager at a store and was robbed at gunpoint. The store is kind of out in the middle of nowhere and the 2 suspects took their time. Most terrifying 10 minutes of my life. I’m so thankful, nothing else happened. I quit the job and now I work from home.

One man can single-handedly tell a frightening but compelling story about the strange, dark and mysterious, while rocking the flannel like a champ. That man, is Mr. Ballen.

I live in Anchorage, Alaska and I remember this very well it was so sad

Many people in Alaska carry firearms for protection. 21 years and up. The sad reality as a 18 year old she wasnt permitted to have one. If she had, this would have been a different story. But someone her age can join military. This should have changed legislation in Alaska to under 18 with specialized training. Alaska especially where most people may carry a kodiak bear stopper.

Still don’t see any where in the constitution that puts an age limit on 2A rights. Lift all gun laws because all of them are unconstitutional. Not to mention in Alaska you have a rather large bear that may just see you as dinner. I may not agree with the Swiss on mandatory military rules for men but after their service in the Swiss military you have the option to keep you service arms. I do believe you still have to purchase it but it is an option. I personally would like to see here in America where if you serve in the military, you keep you service arms free of charge including actual assault rifles like the m16a2. It would be a much better way to spend tax payer money, unlike funding free crack pipes. I always laugh when a leftist calls an AR15 an assault rifle. The left in this country are complete morons when it comes to guns.

😭 Very very few people get out alive in a Mr. Ballen story. I binge watched all of his videos and was afraid to leave my house for a few days 😆. Idk why I like this stuff but I do. I even bought a Mr. Ballen t- shirt. And just today listened to his new pod cast. He's such an amazing story teller😍

Oh yeah, definitely do some more Mr. Ballen!

In case you didn’t know. This guy narrating was a Navy Seal. Pretty cool

I trained my kids to never let them take you to a "secondary place". Even if they point a gun at you, better they shoot you there. Maybe someone will find you and call an ambulance. Don't end up somewhere remote with no help. Fight like hell to not be taken to a "secondary place"!

I did the same thing with my niece. I told her not to ever let anybody take her some place else even if they have a gun.....if you go with them your chance for survival is next to none and they will probably do more than shoot you. Just stand your ground, you have better odds of them being thrown off by your defiance and willing to fight them and hopefully panic and take off. If they shot you there then there is a good chance that they will be caught and someone around to get you medical aid. I find it so so sad that we have to tell kids these things.

Always love Mr. Ballen's storytelling, love you two, too!

He is a great story teller. He does stories of haunting weird accidents crime mystery. People who just disappear. He makes them very interesting. I would recommend covers.

Mr. Ballen does a wide variety of topic's. What interesting about Mr. Ballen is he's an ex Navy Seal , who narration skills are unbelievably good. I mean you hear about Seals being able to over come any situation. And for him to narrate so well and be so entertaining is impressive. I mean your left scratching your head and thinking " What the heck did he go to the Morgan Freeman narration school" or what?

Start watching Mr. Ballen and you're down the rabbit hole. It becomes an addiction. Great storyteller! Great reaction!

Never get in the car. Push panic button, throw coffee in his face or run to back of store. Plus she should have been armed and never let them take you anywhere. They have to shoot you. Once taken away you are in worst position.

I live in New Hampshire which is next to Vermont. I remember when this elderly couple disappeared from Vermont. Years later we found out that the couple were two of Keyes’ victims. It was mental.

Best storyteller ever. I watch all of his videos!

The scariest thing about looking at the photo is she genuinely looks alive … all things considered the picture looks like any other ransom picture taken with the victim but when you know the story of what happened to that girl it makes you feel sick looking at it

You guys are dope. I’ve never thought you guys reactions were fake 😭

Beesley, this guy, and his stories, aren't fake, but he does stretch the truth like a giant rubber band. I've told Thurston about him, but he still reacts to the videos.

Makes you think twice about the random people you walk by every day, who knows what you might be standing next to at any given time.

This is going to be about Israel Keyes. I don't know if they'll show much of him in natural circumstances, but he was just so darn normal acting. That's what made him so scary. I don't think he frightened the FBI so much as he befuddled them because he didn't fit any known serial killer profile. Unfortunately, he committed suicide even before he could be tried, so there's a lot about him we'll never know.

This shit feels like "Voltron", two of my favorite sub channels coming together, Mr. Ballen and The Beesleys ✊

Don’t worry about some random hater who say that ur reaction is fake, there will alway be that one type of person. They prob say that to every reactor. It normal to get these type of comment on a reacting channel. You guys are amazing and awesome to watch. Don’t listen to them

I'm with her on never working a dangerous shift by myself. The closest I'd ever gotten was back when I worked elections I was the first one to report to my shift at 4 am on an Election Day. I was literally the first person in the building and I had my human mace in one hand and my bear mace in the other hand when I got out of the car, unlocked the door to the building, and relocked it again until the rest of the staff showed up.

MrBallen is KZread's best story teller by far!

I must say.. I've been watching ballen for over a year and have heard many of his stories. he tells a story as honest and true through real evidence and research and puts his work in lol.. but not all of his videos are about true crime 💁‍♂️ he's very ambidextrous... aliens, myths.. legends... he tells the story of people who have experienced things that baffle everyone.. yet remain still .. only the facts that are known and well the rest up to you lol but some of his stories peice things together that baffled me qnd even changed My perspective towards "myths/mysteries" like say.. bigfoot?.. I would suggest his (missing 411) series... lots along the realm of aliens and how Bigfoot is more than we think ... historical and military.. even they will freak you out lol.. disappearances.... but most important of them all is the (missing 411) cases he has a Playlist for it but I just thought I wpuld say something since I've been watching him a while those are the ones that will fascinate not give nightmares lol...
