The Channel Islands story is so sad. That poor woman was so happy to finally meet and talk with other people, but she was inadvertently killed by being exposed to a deadly disease.

[@ZombieSazza]

Honestly I’m glad John has a pretty happy ending, I’ve studied psychology and sociology at university and we cover feral children as it’s an interesting topic, you look at the socialisation a feral child has in their feral environment and how you socialise them into a human environment, the problems faced during that period, and basically if they can ever have even a somewhat normal life again. This doesn’t just cover children who grew up with animals but also includes children who were raised in confinement (extreme neglect), so 3 examples of feral children who grew up in the wilderness of some form would be Sanichar the wolf boy (inspired The Jungle Book but definitely not a fairytale) who was unable to properly grasp language and took a long time to learn to walk upright as he’d spent most of his life walking on all fours, Oxana who’d lived in a kennel with dogs, where she walked on all fours, communicated by barking/growling and had a very strong bond with her pack, it took a very long time to try and socialise her, teach her to speak, and walk upright, but she still requires a lot of adult supervision and still shows a lot of dog-like behaviours, and Victor of Aveyron who was found wandering the woods completely nude and covered in scars around age 12, he refused to be touched, washed, disliked human contact of any form and had violent outbursts, it took a long time to somewhat socialise him where he could be washed, didn’t have violent outbursts but he never managed to grasp language and never spoke a complete sentence. Properly socialising feral children who’d grown up in the wilderness proved extremely challenging for most cases, some have somewhat happy endings but not many. 3 examples of feral children who were brought up with extreme neglect and confinement would be cases like Anna who was found at 6 and spent most of her life in a dark room (died at 10 due to health issues), Genie who was kept in one room with no stimulation of any kind until 13, despite being rescued from this environment she has very limited language and became a ward of the state, and Daniella who was locked in her room until 7 but has never learned to speak, but socialisation wise is at least able to maintain eye contact and allow people to touch her. Considering how most feral child cases go, where the individual isn’t able to proper reenter society due to being developmentally delayed, psychologically not developed properly due to extreme neglect, where most have difficulties with language and interacting with people, John had a pretty happy ending. It sucks he ended up in that situation because of his father, but I’m really glad learning John was able to actually live his life as a free man, as with most cases the feral child ends up becoming a ward of the state in some capacity, unable to be fully independent people. And there we go, that’s my random knowledge on feral children that I literally never have anywhere to share.

I once visited a small island in the Bahamas. There was an old fisherman there who every day would bring a few buckets of fish ashore and dry them in the sun. He would then give the fish away. I asked him why he didn't sell the fish instead. He said "why sell that which was given to me?" I then said he worked for the fish. No, he said, "the ocean gave them to me." I went to the marina the next day and talked to some of the younger fishermen there. Did they all give their fish away? No, they said, they all sell their fish - except for the one old man. They said he had been in a shipwreck a decade ago and was the only survivor - having clung to floating debris for weeks at sea. How did he survive I asked. Only he knows, they said.

i got weirdly emotional about the ending of that last story. after fighting in a war for 30 years, losing every last of his comrades and even then fighting on in isolation - not only did he survive but he went on to reunite with his brother and live out the rest of his days in peace. cant imagine a better ending

[@Ezio999Auditore]

Amazing story.

[@clarsach29]

yes I got emotional about this story too....there is something so poignant about it. Despite the atrocities committed by the Japanese against British and Australian POWS during the war, I still admire this lone soldier who fought on years after the war ended. That sense of duty and dedication is vanishingly rare in 2023 in any walk of life.

[@13lilsykos]

​@@clarsach29- My husband feels like you do. I, however, don't. I think it's indoctrination akin to brainwashing. It's not like that man loved his country that much. He, like the others, were terrified that their "beloved" country would do some horrible to their family members. The stuff the Japanese did in WW2 even shocked the Nazis. When you can make a Nazi recoil in horror, that's saying something.

Island of the Blue Dolphins is a bk based on the story of the Lost Woman of San Nicholas. There have been excavations done on the island & a massive amount of artifacts were found. Some of them they think came from her & they also believed they found one of her camps in a cave. Her story is a haunting one. How many people were or even are in her circumstances but were never found so their story is lost to us.

I particularly enjoyed your introduction to Onoda-san's story, it gives listeners a good way to think about it from his perspective at first. For Juana Maria of Nicoleño, I first heard her story reading the book "Island of the Blue Dolphins" vaguely based on her story in elementary school and it scared me, same with "Hatchet" where a kid is in a small plane crash and has to survive alone, and "Maroo of the Winter Caves" where a young girl and her younger brother have to trek across a mountain in blizzard conditions to save their family at the end of the last Ice Age. Now I love survival horror both true stories and fiction. And the other video about Ana Blackjack! I love your channel, it's gripping and detailed without being gross and tabloid-exploitative.

“Fate” isn’t just about the end, a death, it’s about what they had to endure. The horrible fate of those people having their entire culture, language, and people die. And the woman having to endure loneliness and complete isolation, maybe after having lost a son. The Japanese guy losing 30 years of his life in horrible conditions and some of the soldiers and locals dying where they didn’t need to. In other videos people have gone through horrific accidents and survived but had to live with the trauma and possible life-long and career ending injuries. Other videos show where the time before they died was horrific and they suffered. Or others have had to witness the deaths of loved ones and be helpless to save them. I think it’s perfectly fitting. It can also be about overcoming extreme hardships (although some clearly didn’t live to get through it) but it’s ultimately about highlighting what they went through and suffered where no one should have or want to.

As far as the feral children stories go, they’re almost always insanely dramatized. The child usually comes from a family/parent that was abusing and neglecting them long before the abandonment, often to the point that the children are never verbal because they are just never spoken to outside of abusive language. The “peach fuzz” hair that’s sometimes described is also a classic symptom of long term malnutrition. People suffering from/living with anorexia often exhibit that symptom as well. Once they’re getting steady normal nutrition again the peach fuzz stops growing. The children are also rarely left outside with animals for more than a few days, the myth about them “being raised by wolves” (or in this case, green monkeys) for years is the largest exaggeration. They’re usually not out there long or if they were, they’d likely starve to death. Bananas are not enough to sustain any human, especially a 3 year old that needs fat, protein,fiber etc in his diet. They’d provide enough hydration to last a week or so, though. The feral kid cases irritate me because these are almost always kids from an extremely abusive household rife with domestic violence, but neighbors and police ignore what’s going on until the worst possible outcome, the kid gets abandoned and left to die. But people prefer silly mythical stories about “children raised by wolves” and instead ignore the crappy domestic violence and child abuse that was really the story behind the kid.

@@blackslade1524you do realize honor is subjective right? They find suicide honorable. In our culture in the west suicide is not honorable and is seen as cowardly

Awesome job buddy!! Keep it up! 🥰

The channel islands story is actually in a book! It's called the island of blue dolphins. It's a really good book and I really recommend it.

[@pinkydawny]

I love all your videos. I especially like the intro. Nice and short but effective. Thank you 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿😘

There's even a novel from the perspective of the island woman from second story, titled Island of Dolphins (i think, i read it in my native, so the title might be slightly off). It's an interesting take on her story, so I recommend it!

Thanks so much . Love yr channel Sean ...

That is the wrong Channel Islands in the photo. Those ones are in between UK and France. Nice content. Keep up the good work!

I know what you were trying to do with that last story but I don't think it worked. I couldn't figure out why you weren't saying who he was or where he was from but pretty soon realized you were talking about Japanese soldiers. I don't think obscuring the details really adds to the story and in fact it becomes a distraction. I'm saying this as a fan of your channel, I'm not trying to be a typical comment crank!

New subscriber to your page, your awesome ! My girlfriend and I get pretty stoked when you uploaded new content 🙂

On or those IJA soldiers had been hiding out in our backyard in Los Angeles. He's now our gardener. He's hell on parties though, and has come screaming out of the azaleas with fixed bayonet, killing a few surprised guests.

Great Video!

Was re watching MrBallen's videos and thought i need new stuff to watch. perfect timing man.

[@qmaube1]

I believe the book Island Of The Blue Dolphins written by Scott O Dell was based on the woman that lived alone on the island.

These story's are allways pure gold standard, cool channel 👍

[@sheikyerbouti39]

@@shamone805 He's plagiarising Mr Ballen. Just go watch his channel. Far better story teller, and he's the one actually compiling these stories and writing them in the way you're hearing them told by this thief.
