  • Square Dance of Death (PODCAST EXCLUSIVE EPISODE)

    Square Dance of Death (PODCAST EXCLUSIVE EPISODE)
    Dec 2 2024

    On a cold December night in 2013, a 59-year-old widow stood on stage at a square dance club in Arkansas, watching some of her closest friends dance together. The woman had owned and run the square dance club for years, and the people out on the floor were just like family to her. But as she listened to the music and called out different square dance steps, she didn’t notice that one of the dancers had their eyes fixed right on her. And the woman did not know that this dancer had become obsessed with her. In fact, the dancer had started losing sleep just thinking about the woman. And now the dancer had decided it was time to act, because they believed they would never find peace until the object of their obsession was dead.

  • An Unforgettable Fare

    An Unforgettable Fare
    Nov 28 2024

    Today’s story is a good old fashioned spooky story. It’s about a missing person in Taiwan, and it takes a totally bizarre turn, and I will say most of you will probably get the most thrill out of the “apartment scene.” You’ll know that scene when you get to it, and that’s towards the end of this podcast. So, make sure you stick around if you enjoy being spooked.

    Story names, previews & links to original YouTube video:

    • #1 -- "An Unforgettable Fare" -- This story takes a wild turn, just wait for the apartment scene (Original YouTube link -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXuLJJtJp1g)

  • The Lipstick on the Wall (PODCAST EXCLUSIVE EPISODE)

    The Lipstick on the Wall (PODCAST EXCLUSIVE EPISODE)
    Nov 25 2024

    On a summer morning in 2001, a woman in Alabama woke up in a cold sweat – like she’d just had a nightmare. But the woman knew what she saw while she was sleeping was not a bad dream – it was real. So she grabbed her phone and made a frantic call. Later that morning, police arrived at an old wooden house on the outskirts of a small rural town. They stepped inside, and they were absolutely shocked, because the woman really had led them to a horrifying crime scene.

Mr Ballen never disappoints

It's difficult to write a review as I don't think words will do this justice. You need to listen for yourself to appreciate what an excellent storyteller Mr Ballen is. Disvovered him on Youtube and was instantly hooked. His Podcast is every bit as good as his Youtube videos.
