The blue children just had a vitamin deficiency or too much of something. Can’t recall. It would be a very short story with a very long filler of Ballen’s damn frog thing. Edit: I was corrected. This is the Blue Fugates (genetic mutation from inbreeding). I was thinking of Suffolk’s “Green Children.”

I commend Mr Ballen's bravery to go out into abandoned buildings late at night to tell these bone-chilling spine-wrenching creepy stories. Edit: Let this comment die already Edit 2: STOP REPLYING Edit 3: Do you guys not know what STOP REPLYING MEANS???? Edit 4: 10k likes and ill leak my feet

It's just a popular inside joke between the fandom)

Hi Mr. Ballen! I started watching/listening to your content when my dad was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and it became a routine for me to fall asleep during those challenging times. Unfortunately, he recently passed away, and revisiting your channel brings back memories. Today, I found the courage to listen to your vids again. Thank you 🤍

Fantastic story! The only correction I would add is that this is not the only case where a person has literally died of fright. Dying of fright is actually a well-established phenomenon that has happened to many people. It's when a big enough surge of fear causes the brain to release a flood of adrenaline, which in high enough amounts causes cardiac arrest.

There was a white woman a few years ago that “died of fright” when she tried to use voodoo to target her black best friend. It was a very popular story at the time because her Twitter account was still active and she showed a picture of the voodoo doll she used just a few days before dying.

The floor at the top of the stairs is not the ground. Not even the ground floor of a building is the ground. It's still a floor. Sure, the ground and the floor are synonymous with each other, but there is also a distinction. I'll accept it as the ground, but if you go higher up, say, the second story, there is no ground, only floor. I am in the flooring business. That's why I take it so seriously. It's not enough to make me unsubscribe, but it could do the storytelling some good to increase vocabulary and use more distinct words.

I only a youngster and I was put in a police cell in the original Bow Street Police Station and I was sitting in the number one cell when all of a sudden I heard a young girl crying for her mother, it started faintly, it got louder and then it started faintly again and it just stopped, mama mama that is the only word that I heard mama, I got let out of the cell and I said to a police officer, why did you lock that little girl you should’ve put her in my cell, he just looked at his friend and looked straight back at me with shock and horror on his face, and then he said, what little girl Steve so I told him what I had heard, and he said no Steve, you heard the ghost of the Bow Street Cells and then he told me the story of this poor little girl, in the late Victorian times a mother was found stabbed to death in her kitchen and the bastards blamed the young girl and they put her in the cells in the number 2 cell and apparently she died of a broken heart and the last person to go into that cell so say died in a mental hospital, and the cell hadn’t been opened since the mid 1950s and when I heard the poor girl it was in the mid 70s, I’ve been spiritual all my life since my childhood, when you go into a police cell you have to take your shoes and belt off because you can hang yourself with either of them but, when I came out of my cell, I honestly made a conscious look on the floor of the next but it was slammed shut and there was no shoes or nothing outside so it was just left shut until it was knocked down or transferred into a hotel believe it or not, but one positive thing came out of it all the bastard that killed her mother was actually her father and they hung the horrible bastard, so he stabbed his wife to death and was hoping that they think it was his daughter and he just let her die in those terrible conditions, it’s just unbelievable but, it’s a very tragic and true story, I just wish I could’ve done something for her but I couldn’t I’m very sorry to say. Have a great new year from Stevie boy in England.

@ItzLegends06

I mean yea that could be possible but it doesn’t really add up to the fact that they were fine with the basement when it was day time but the moment it was night then it got worse. It just doesn’t make sense that a gas leak would be more effective and a specific time of the day and consistently that same time of the day. Most likely what happened is they were so scared to enter the basement at night because of the past noises, their fear manifested itself into what they thought was in the basement (a ghost)

Ive been watching mr ballen for a while now. And i have adhd so its hard to listen to a whole story that someone is telling me, however when im listening to mr ballen tell these stories, it's different. Im actully able to get enveloped in these stories. Keep up the great work!

Hello from Sheffield, England! 🎉 So strange to hear a story from your hometown on KZread! One of the photos is actually taken from the top of the road I live on 🤩

I listened to your podcast on the way home from my fiancé’s house. They’re heading back to college tomorrow that is several states away while I remain on my break. Driving away was heartbreaking to say the least and I found myself crying, but your podcast and voice allowed me to stay vigilant on the roads, and brought some odd semblance of comfort. I found your channel when I was really struggling during the pandemic and I’ve always had an interest in the strange, dark, and mysterious. Your stories, and voice, have always helped me through tough times and I really appreciate that.

That was an amazing story! My grandmother would have dreams that came true. She told me of a Confederate army group that buried boxes of gold and guns under her house in a dream she had, I was the only one she told this story to. Years later I realized her house was behind and almost adjacented to the Confederate arsenal that was destoryed in civil war! She had not been educated in the civil war history of Fayetteville North Carolina, and did not know there was a arsenal half a mile from her house.

Mr.ballen is not the king of scary stories. He doesn’t even tell those anymore. He is basically a true crime storyteller now. I used to watch his videos from the very beginning when there was only a few thousand subs. He needs to go back and do those kind of stories.

I’m from Sheffield and I thought I knew all our local ghost stories and there’s many , but not this one . Campo lane is in the city centre and one of the oldest parts . It’s now the home to many a solicitor . I’d love to find out the location of this story to find the exact spot .

Please do find out. Now im interested. Mr Ballen didn't explain the story fully. Apparently, the ghost did talk to Ward. The spirit told her it was the restless soul of Elizabeth Johnson, murdered by her nephew, William Dawson, on 26 March 1722 and buried deep beneath the cellar "watery grave". The final message was, "The garret and the cellar are now marked with my blood." Had to do some real digging to find the report. Mr Ballen left alot of things in this story.

@@livealittle1100 I’m even more interested myself now you’ve told me all that . There are 2 excellent books by the same author. A ghost hunters guild to Sheffield 1 and 2 . Im wounding now if it’s in one of these books and I just can’t remember it . I used to have both but I lent them out and never got them back and as they are old books I believe they are no longer available. Amozon here I come , you just never know

Sheffield resident here. I’m blown away that MrBallen is telling this story. And that my lil city is getting a mention. I worked on Campo Lane and can confirm the basements of the buildings on campo lane and paradise square are very dodgy many still have the stone/flag floors. Weird vibes man.

Only a matter of time till Ballen starts leaping from his chair and throwing things for the Seagull Lung line read. It gets more and more extreme every time. Lmao.

More cabin in the woods stores! I loved the one with the 17 year old kid staying in his family’s cabin for the last time after his dad died

That will always be one of my favorite scary stories, definitely one that haunts me.

I’m really happy that your gaining so much success man. You deserve it.

Can somebody who’s good at editing please make a compilation of each time MrBallen says “seagull lung” over the course of the channel, from least to most unhinged? I feel like that would be a treat for us all but I’m actually horrendous at clipping videos 🤣🤣

It’s nice to end off the year by listening to MrBallen

Your KZread videos have scared me shit less. I'm a grown ass man who sleeps with the lights on now. From the details to the additional sounds added amazing job.

Who doesn’t love being creeped out on New Years Eve! Thank you Mr. Ballen for feeding my nerdy, creepy side, because when real life is a horror show, creepy is a breath of fresh air 😂.

I doubt your life is anywhere as bad as life in 1800's Sheffield, but its possible, so remember that struggle forms character and pressure can and does make diamonds. Peace and best wishes from Ireland, we are diamonds taking shape x

I love listening to your stories!!! Now whenever i tell people i am watching KZread they always ask if i am watching Mr. Ballen.

One of your videos popped up on my FB timeline about a week ago and I have been hooked ever since!!

Yorkshirewoman here. I live 20 minutes or so from Sheffield. Thanks for giving me another reason to avoid it! Also, Happy New Year. 😊

After several unsuccessful attempts at digging out the gold, the ghost came forward and apologized saying oops wrong bloody flat my bad y’all I’m supposed to haunt three places down and one street over....... happy new year and stay spooky ❤️

It really wasn't. Great story though. Propably just heart attack. They couldn't find trases of blood flow drama at that time. It's hard today even. It's just a story and basements are scary. I've had 3 heart attacks and I'm 40 and healthy. I don't get scared so my body recovers because I stay calm. I know I don't propably see my 60's but I would surely be dead if I believed in ghosts or anything supernatural..

AI generated anything is terrifying. The humanoid bots that are hiring lawyers to obtain identities/wed/have babies/conversate with each other/and reproduce, the pictures/movies/music they can create and emulate, and the access and control they have to dangerous things like communication and weapons is all so very scary. It's as if the movies were foreshadowing, especially the parts about humans creating it, not heeding any warnings, letting it get out of control, and then not being able to stop it. But I sound like a crazy doomsday conspiracy theorist when I say that.

I don't know why i always like your story always give me an inspiration

This is the 5th time watching as i keep falling asleep to Mr. Ballen and can’t finish the whole video😭😭

These videos are so consistent i CANT believe he´s making 25-40 minute QUALITY videos every week this is great Happy new years Eve :)
