Regarding the second story: Speaking from experience. If you ever find yourself in a situation where you’re choking and you have nobody to help you, stand up, wrap your arms around yourself and grab your back, then throw yourself backwards onto the floor/ground. I had an experience where I choked in public and was fortunately saved by a police officer. I used that opportunity to learn what to do in case it ever happened again. A few years later, I was eating and a piece of steak get stuck in my throat. I threw myself down on my back and it came right out. Choking is extremely scary and maybe this can help somebody if they ever find themselves in the same situation.

FYI - The Coroner investigating the Kaz II incident officially determined that one of the Tunstead brothers (neither of whom were strong swimmers) had his fishing line tangled in the propeller. He attempted to untangle the line, but struggled in the water... his brother then dove in to assist... but also struggled. Des attempted to bring the boat back to assist his friends but was hit by the boom when adjusting the mainsail and also fell into the water. Unable to get back on the boat, all 3 drowned... or were possibly eaten by sharks. The Coroner's findings appear to be based on scant evidence. Rescue Officer Corrie Benson stated that there were multiple knives scattered around the boat, but no blood. The whole situation was definitely strange, dark, and mysterious.

Shout out to those officers for getting out to walk along the highway. You hear way too often about people who bleed/starve/freeze to death because their car went too far down a hill and authorities “searching” for them just drove past because they couldn’t immediately see it from the road.

There was a murder case from 2004 where a couple were attacked with an axe by their son. The husband suffered devastating head injuries yet the next morning he got up and went through his normal morning routine, making a packed lunch and even loading the dishwasher before he collapsed and died. Basically, what was left of his brain was running on autopilot, going through the familiar routines with no higher thought processes happening. I think something similar happened onboard the Kaz II, whether due to an attack or some kind of medical incident, the person at the helm of the boat was going through a series of familiar tasks based on all his previous sailing experience which is why it appeared as though the boat was under full control but the actions the boat was taking made no sense. I think the three men aboard Kaz II were likely attacked and one of them survived long enough to pilot the boat in this strange, nonsensical fashion before falling overboard due to injury.

I just found you on KZread last night and I have been binging! The second one I was I noticed the first comment was a very friendly listener warning not to read the comments before watching due to spoilers. I had read the comments of the first story and did read a few spoilers. So, tempting as it is I don’t read the comments now until after listening to the story. Throughout the comments, it is amazing how many people credit listening to you while attempting to get off drugs. So many are successful because your stories help get them through withdrawal and maintaining their sobriety and there are also the same type of stories from sick and even dying people. This has to make you feel so wonderful to know that you are much more than an entertainer but a great help to so many people! In fact, I am going to use listening to them in hopes that they will help with my PTSD and anxiety from a long battle with chronic pain. I’ll update about that. I’ve now listened to enough to know about your foundation to help victims and their families. I feel like I’ve found not only a fabulous place to listen to interesting stories but also a ministry as well. You just never know how God may use you!! I’m really fascinated! I do have to say that you are a born storyteller but I also really enjoy all the creative, cruel and humorous things that you come up with to do to the like button! 😂😂😂 I’m so glad I ran across your channel and wish you amazing continued success! ❤️

I get anxiety too but for other reasons like how can 3 people be on a boat and then not on a boat and nobody have seen them and still don’t know what happened or where they are that’s some scary stuff. Like one question is were they taken bc the sail was tattered so something happened im sure it wasn’t tattered when they bought it. Idk that last one was crazy

Even without the added information, just looking at them, I can't help but think that their trip was for other purposes and that their actual itinerary had to be registered somewhere in order to avoid official inquiries.

@@avamasquerade What kind of theory do you propose? I was thinking this was something more along the lines of a boat armed robbery or hijacking, at more or less around the beginning of their trip, potentially right after shooting those videos. And then after everything that occured had occur, they guessed officials would be looking for them and found a way to abandon the boat before they did. Probably a stupid theory but I can't think of any other reason for people to have very recently been active on that boat and then suddenly not being there. Maybe the criminals had come prepared to scuba-dive off? Idk lol

The Lucien & Olivier story is so bizarrely sad. The Kaz II story is really sad as well as these men were just getting ready to start the next chapter of their lives, a.k.a. their golden years but never got to.

Having worked in EMS in the UK for over 40 years, the public would be surprised how many people go missing like this. On the 19/11/2023 a group of four 16-17 year olds were on a camping trip to North Wales during a storm. It was a Sunday morning and they just vanished. Fortunately their bodies were discovered the following Tuesday. The car was upside in a river, they had all drowned.

When I was a child, a bunch of us went swimming at a lake off a boat ramp. We were of the age to see who could dive the deepest, so we would take turns diving down at the end of the ramp. We were puzzled that we felt a smooth surface with our feet to push back off of to resurface. We got out for a break, and found chrome trim pieces on the beach, picked them up and put them in the trash can nearby. As we were leaving, some teenagers pulled up and we told them about the smooth surface and showed them the trim. About an hour later we went down to the ramp with adults, the teens had found a truck at the end of the ramp and it was being pulled out of the water. Saw bags of corn in the bed of the truck. Turned out that a hunter had a heart attack the last autumn and drove off the ramp. His skeleton was found in the cab where we had been landing with our bare feet on the roof. Life is the weirdest 😳

I was thinking something simpler. They were robbed on their boat. The robbers may have at some point sailed out deeper to kill and dump the men, planning to steal the boat itself. They stayed on the boat for a while (hence people spotting it moving around in the same area and hence the signs of recent inhabitation on the boat), but when they saw police approaching, they fled (on a small motorised dinghy or on who knows what, whatever they used to approach the boat in the first place).

There definitely are a lot of fake stories taken directly from reddit with 0 source on his channel

Comment on the first story: I have not looked up the case myself but I suspect there were indeed 2 crashes. One was that first one that was found, the second was the one that was reported. It is pretty easy to miss even recent crashes in the woods with embankments. Sadly I passed right by a very recent crash a number of years ago and somehow my coworkers behind me had seen it and were able to attempt to render aid and call for help. In my case it is possible that the crash happened after I had passed through but the timing from what my coworkers say was that I had passed it. This said, some stretches of roads are more prone to accidents, either from fatigue, highway hypnosis, distractions, turns, or other factors. I've come across a number of old unrecovered cars in areas and sometimes there are multiple in the same area. Thus my experience tells me that the other car that was reported was not found that day, which may have been due to the excitement of finding the other.

Listening to these stories is my new dopamine. There’s just no other storytelling like Mr. Ballen’s.

The first story is a great example of a residual haunting. When disturbing and horrible things happen, ones that conjured energy from the fatality, the energy itself may never leave this earth and it replays the same incident over and over. The person passes on, but the energy from the fatality they experienced on earth doesn’t sometimes which is why we’ve heard of these occurring.

Wow. Another wild awesome story Mr.Ballen righteous! Thanks for your stories and your service! Namaste!!

Just went over to Audible and followed you and downloaded all of the medical mystery podcasts. Thank you.

The last story with the three guys disappearing from the boat has me baffled. The only thing I can think of is they may have went swimming next to the boat and got caught in a current that dragged them away from the boat....but if that were the case, it would of been anchored at least. So, yeah, that one puzzles me.

@HypnoticChronic1

6 ай бұрын

@@autumnrose_noseinabook If you recall it was not stated that they saw a man piloting through the reefs, what was stated is that the boat appeared to be being navigated through the reefs due nothing happening in what are otherwise very dangerous waters (my assumption here is it just lucky with the currents moving it through the less hazardous parts of the reef, something similar has both occurred and been documented, look into the SS Baychimo as a example). Likewise it was never stated that the food was "fresh" only that it was fresher than what would be expected given the time frame of their departure, assuming what befell the men occurred the day of departure and not in the subsequent days, it also never states what kind of food was found it could of been food items that hold their preservation longer than others i.e. canned food vs fruit. It is also worth noting that when it comes to catamarans like the Kaz II, that the fuel storage is situated within the pontoons of the vessel and can consist of two or four tanks one or two in each pontoon respectively depending on design, given the size of the vessel it was likely the former. Given the length of their plotted course it can be assumed they likely provisioned for a long journey and thus taken on more fuel to make the trip in less stops, to my knowledge the northern half of Australia which their course was going to take them along is sparsely populated and far less so than the eastern or western coasts of the country where they originated and traveling to respectively thus likely has less refueling points. This would all explain the ability for both the ship to remain in idle for a extended duration and connected powered devices to still be powered as well, so this should not be surprising in the least. What is surprising is the state of the vessel and the items within it, what I mean by this is that there was no signs of distress, panic, looting, damage (aside from the sail) etc. so this would typically rule out things such as piracy, detrimental contact with undersea topography i.e. reefs, sudden weather related phenomenon i.e. rogue wave, a medical emergency i.e. no disturbed affects or attempted access to life saving equipment etc. and thus we can also assume that whatever occurred happened very rapidly and without warning. Now as for my hypothesis on the matter, we do know for sure the men had been fishing as is documented by the found footage and the pole still within the rod holder with the line dragging in the water. Thus my hypothesis centers on the assumption that the men had been fishing and potentially snagged a rather large fish, some of which like the broadbill swordfish (which is native to eastern Australia) can weigh up to 1102 lbs (500 kg) and can be quite the struggle for one person to manage especially those bodies are not in the peak of fitness and or are aged beyond their prime, likewise undersea topography could have been snagged (which could be mistakenly assumed for a large fish). Thus I believe one of them snagged (possible mistakenly) a large fish and could not cope with the struggle on their own and requiring the other two men to assist, one or more men could have lost their footing (since they would be struggling on a likely rocking boat) and fell into the water and by time they got their bearings after falling in the boat was already some distance away from them, as we know that the sail was in operation at the time of the incident (due to its tattered nature upon its discovery which would not have likely occurred had it been stowed) and thus the wind and likely the current pushed the boat out of their reach and they drowned at sea as a result. Now it may not have played out exactly like that and some other variables may have occurred however, I highly suspect that fishing and its results was highly involved in what befell the men given the evidence we are presented with.

I've been randomly unsubbed from one of the channels i watch before too.

I've been so spoiled with Mr Ballen for a couple years now, I really wouldn't know what to do without his stories. I genuinely look forward to them every Sunday. ❤

Count me in as well. During my late night computer work his stories keep me company. Wonder how I would be awake without them. Tq Mr Ballen

There is a theory that when someone experiences a violent death, somehow their memories are left imprinted in the area it occurred and sensitive people or children can see it. Perhaps that's why the A3 happened.

Yeah, it's called a death loop memory. Also known as Stone Tape Theory, or Residual Haunting. When traumatic events occurred. It's fascinating and tragic, right?

The energy/memory imprint theory has been science's attempt to explain the phenomenon without yielding to a belief in humans having souls and a spiritual world existing. Christianity explains that demons (fallen angels who rebelled with Satan during the fall from grace), are basically exactly like they are depicted in The Exorcist, movie makeup not included. They're disembodied spirits who have never lived and anything that offends God is something they revel in, so they like to frequent areas where extreme violence, evil, or death is or was prevalent and when they speak, it's usually something vulgar or blasphemous. There's a verse in the Bible that says "And no wonder (that false prophets exist), for even Satan masquerades as an angel of light." They appear as people's loved ones. The world calls them "ghosts" or "friendly spirits." The more violent occurrences, like the crash in this video, are enjoyable for them to reenact. There's one account of a death loop presence like this in California where a horsewoman was killed after taking a deadman's curve at high speeds on Creek Road in the Ojai Valley. People have reported seeing the woman, on horseback, take off galloping at top speed and when she reaches the curve where she died, the horse stumbles, she falls, and disappears. She does this on loop every year on the anniversary of her death. There are a bunch of other demons that frequent the area, too. One's a burned man who runs screaming out of the forest to attack anyone who stops on the bridge. The locals have taken to calling that one the Charman and have reported smelling burning flesh. Most people report believing in the paranormal and a spiritual plane whether they believe in religious faith or not. The reality is that they're just one and the same. Islam calls these malevolent spirits djinn. Either way, it's not really a FAFO encounter that you want to have.

I have being a subscriber/watching your videos from the beginning and I love this guy honestly nobody tells stories like him I listen to stories to fall asleep I feel like he would be a great dad wish you was my dad

My condolences go out to Lucien and his friend for their unfortunate health condition that led them vulnerable to saving themselves.

@@azouitinesaad3856I mean he does have a lot of bs, a lot of his stories he’s making up information which has nothing to do with the story and isn’t real at all, just adds it to make the stories longer.

🤣🤣 Seagull Lung 😂😂 makes me laugh every single time I hear it. Lol

You do a great job with these videos, well done sir.

I’ve grew up in England and heard the first story over 10 years ago, never in so much detail though! Thank you John! You are the best

I can't believe you covered a local story! I use the a3 around this exact area almost daily and never heard of this story! Crazy! Thank you for covering it.
