[@ImaginaryNate]

Putting myself in that situation, I can agree on the same thing. Say I’m walking in the lowlines of the mountain range and I see somebody, wave, and say hi. Okay, not too far fetched for them to not give me a hi back, they might not be the friendliest of people… okay, they totally ignore me, now I’m thinking of alerting authorities because they might be mentally ill like you stated or could be up to something, but nevertheless it’s totally plausible to keep walking… okay, they don’t have ANY equipment on them/are wearing jeans and a shirt (not proper hiking attire at all), something is definitely up with this person and it’s a dead giveaway to alert authorities. It’s like when you’re trying to figure out if someone in public is interested in you. One signal could be passed off but you could definitely still gun it and make a move, but multiple signals put together? There’s no reason NOT to take that chance.

My friend’s child who was three at the time had the creepiest reaction when we went camping out in Banf. Sitting around the fire and the child started to become panicked and asked us “who is he?! Why do I have to go?!” I asked her what she meant and she said “the man! He’s right there? Why does he want me to go with him?!”. I was terrified and for some reason the mother just shrugged it off as a normal thing her child does all the time. WHAT THE HELL?! The panic in this child’s voice and body was not her just playing pretend.

[@Audrey378]

I think the most likely conclusion is that Sandra got a severe concussion in the crash and spent the rest of her time "hiking" in a complete daze. It's sad that she could've been saved multiple times but everyone called too late.

[@barebeautyessentials3323]

I find it strange that the couple who saw her with a bruise on her face and bare foot didn’t try to get to her to see if she needed help.

[@czntrm]

It's the whole "turn a blind eye" and "it's someone else's (the government's) business, not mine" kind of attitude. We need a more compassionate, community mindset, looking at others as though they are our extended family. It's hard to do and sometimes kind deeds backfire horribly, but in this case, she could have survived if someone stayed with her while someone else got help if they couldn't get her to go with them. 😞

[@disgruntledwookie369]

As someone who has experienced a serious concussion and knows how incredibly disorienting it is, I find it easy to believe that Sarah had a car accident, hit her head really bad, and spent the next week or so in a complete haze of half consciousness, never quite sure exactly what she was doing, or why, or where. If you've never had any sort of altered state of consciousness, be it through drugs or head injury, then I'm not sure you will be able to understand it. But to me, it makes perfect sense, and it scares me, because I know how it feels to be in that delirious state where everything is messed up but your brain isn't working well enough for you to know it's messed up.

[@paisliesplace3921]

I was thinking that she might have gotten a concussion in her accident. She could have hit her head without it being a blood injury. It would also explain why people saw her and she wasn't connecting with them. Being a strong survivalist, that might have kicked in automatically while she was trying to navigate her concussion and what it was doing to her consciously. A sad story and a disturbing one.

[@DelphineTheWorstBladeEver]

I feel this. This is really possible. Being in that confused state can mess with you in so many ways, including emotionally. I remember going from being hysterical to sad, to being okay and feeling "floaty."

[@loftyjones675]

very true. to add onto your thought about "brain isn't working well enough for you to know it's messed up", I've even had times where I know full well it's messed up, but there's still nothing I can consciously do about it as far as my actions go.

[@generichuman2044]

It's definitely plausible. I hit my head pretty bad once and had a mild concussion. Thankfully it was for only 10 minutes, but I had no idea what was going on around me or who was talking to me

I have sat here on this page for 2 hours or so deciding if I should comment. I have seen all sorts of things posted, some are concern and good intentioned, while I think others are click bait of sorts. Sandy was my friend. I still have one jar left of the jam she made and gave to me. I don't want to open it because it seems like me giving up on her being found safely. I realize how odd that sounds. She sent me pictures of her trip, including a couple before she camped. I worked with her for years, and as to whether people saw her ghost or not. Well, I have my doubts. Sandy, would look right through you and not talk. If she didn't want to, you did not exist. So it is perfectly understandable, albeit odd if she was injured, that she would sit on the side of the trail and not interact. Our friendship started, because every morning she would walk down the hall past my office and i would say good morning. She never looked at me, or if i was in the hall would look through my chest, not even stopping. I like people and I always want my coworkers to laugh and get along. So after this morning ritual had continued for awhile. I stepped out into the hall said, "good morning, I am not moving until you say good morning." She looked me in the eyes, stood there and in the most dry, expressionless, flat voice said, "good morning." I stepped aside smiling and said have a good day or something. The next morning she smiled and said good morning to me. Others in the office actually commented that she talked to me. I hope this illustrates her lack of talking to people. After that, she talked to me often and we even talked about plants and natural usages for them. She was my go to person for wild plant knowledge. I hike, hunt and fish, in the wilds quite a bit, but had never looked at the native plants for much other than the occasional thimbleberry snack. So after this long winded post, I hope this would add a bit of explanation to her lack of talking , be she ethereal or not. But if her ghost is up in some clearing, I have no illusions that if someone litters or does something to the plants. they may decide to change their ways.

"She needs our help. She's face down, her legs are straight up, and she's dead." I got chills. It makes me think of this case from my home state that happened in the early-mid-aughts, around early November. A couple of teens were coming back to my hometown from a late night date in the city, and they were on a winding, lonely road. No one's really sure what happened, but somehow, the car ended up crashing off the side of the road in the dunes around the freeway they were on; the car rolled multiple times before coming to rest wheels up. It was around 6 or 7 pm when this accident occurred, and I was coming back with my best friend and her parents after going into the city; I remember my best friend's dad slamming on the brakes (there was no shoulder to pull over onto). He turned on his blinkers and got out of the car, saying, "Leah, call 911!" Turns out, (what we two in the backseat didn't see) when we came around the bend, Dad's headlights hit upon something on the side of the road. Dad said that when we got closer, the lights actually revealed what appeared to be a young man, maybe late teens or so, crawling up the slope. By the time the lights fully hit, the teenager was apparently pulling himself onto the road, but his legs weren't working and his head appeared to be snapped near all the way around and he was scraped up and bloody, like he'd just been in an accident. But, when Dad got out of the car to help, there was no one on the road; it was completely empty. Mom managed to call 911, and when they got there, Dad pointed them in the direction of where he saw the teen crawling from. Well, they found the car; the girl was barely alive, but they determined that the boy died instantly. Coroner found that when the car rolled, he'd been thrown so violently, by the time the car came to rest where it did, he'd snapped his neck, which matched Dad's description of the teenager he'd seen. The girl was in ICU for weeks, but she managed to survive. No one can exactly explain what Dad saw that night, and the only reasonable explanation anyone can come up with, is that while it definitely wasn't the boy (he was still strapped into the car by his seatbelt), maybe it was the boy's spirit, trying to get help for his girlfriend, knowing it was too late for him. Sorry for the long post, but the little boy's description of the woman reminds me of that night. In regards to this, it could have been Sandra's spirit asking for help because she no longer physically could.

On a dark road, in the middle of the desert, with zero lights along the road to guide you- no one even knew that the accident happened. If we hadn't stopped, the car wouldn't have even been found; those embankments along desert highways are steep and dark. Look, I don't know that I entirely believe Dad, and he's never been able to accurately explain what he saw that night, but all we *know* is that paramedics said that if we *hadn't* stopped when we did, the girl wouldn't have been *found,* let alone survived. Do you know how many cars are found in the deserts decades later, long after the person's missing posters have been taken down and their cases have gone cold?

Such a chilling story. I can't help think that she was hurt badly in the car crash, wondered into the forest all confused and succumbed to the injury and elements. Perhaps the sightings were her spirit, still confused as to who she is and what happened, so vivid to those who encountered her because she's unaware she has passed. The child talking to her after stating she was dead and needed help really solidifies that theory for me.

That was my first thought, but I erased it. I also thought after her accident she had a concussion and eventually succumbed to her injuries.

The fact that she was seen by the hikers and the hunters and both said she had zero recognition of them is creepy.

Seems like yet another head injury case (from the car crash). Concussions can drastically change a person's awareness and personality yet perhaps she still functioned on level that included her wilderness survival instincts for quite some time. Children are much closer to the initial portal/dimension of consciousness from birth that allows them to pickup on different unseen energies as mentally programmed adults.

This story gave me chills more than most stories do, even Mr. Ballen’s other stories. It sounds like that woman got into an accident and had a head injury, which would line up with the car being damaged, the bruise on her face, and her seemingly being unresponsive. In addition to that stuff lining up, I’ve had times where I’m anxious (or drunk 🤦🏼‍♀️) and I’m looking for something (my phone, my inhaler, etc) and I just throw everything around trying to find it. Maybe she was looking for her phone or something she needed or thought she needed and in her injured/confused state she just tossed things aside while looking through her things. Then her survival instincts kicked in and she set up camp anyway? And then maybe she continued trying to find what she was looking for, which might account for the campsite being messed up like the car. Maybe she couldn’t find it, decided to grab her sleeping bag (cold, maybe?) and look for the car or just head north? As for the child, it sounds like maybe she was trying to communicate with him. Her “position” he mentioned sounds like maybe a fall? Which wouldn’t be difficult with no shoes and a head injury. If the little boy says she’s dead and described her that well, then I believe him. As someone else posted, it seems like she wants her body to be found. She may have been in a vehicle accident, was overwhelmed by her injuries or the elements or another accident like a fall, and then she happened to be able to reach the little boy some how. Hopefully HOPEFULLY, she shows up alive somewhere, recovering from a head injury and amnesia or something. But at the very least, I hope that if she is gone, her body is found and returned to her family so they get closure. I hope Sandra finds peace, wherever she is.

My mother told me a story of when she was a young child. She was the youngest in her family with 5 older brothers. Her oldest brother Frank had joined the army to fight in Europe in the first world war. She was born in 1915 and the war ended in 1918, so she was pretty young at the time. One day, she saw her brother. He was in soldier uniform walking up the walk to the front door of their house. She said "Frankie, Frankie" and in her excitement to see her brother, she ran straight toward him, which meant running straight through the front picture window of their house. Another brother who was standing nearby grabbed her up at the last second before she got hurt. It turned out that Frankie wasn't home at all. In fact, the exact time and day she saw him, he had been killed in action. She said even though she was so young, she still remembered seeing him, clear as day, coming home.

After being in that accident, I think she had a traumatic brain injury, and that's why she was making this terrible mess of her things. Or it caused a psychotic break, which can be just as dangerous. This is why no one is supposed to go camping alone, things like this can happen. It's too bad those people who saw her with a large bruise didn't insist on her coming with them. If she's a ghost, it sounds like she wants her body found and laid to rest properly. I don't blame that family for not wanting to ever go to that area again.

My niece and nephew, who are twins, were about 3 or 4 years old when this happened. The house behind my sister's house had their grandson over for a sleep over, about 6 years prior to this event and the twins weren't even born yet, and the grandson had gotten sick and wasn't feeling well, so the grandmother tucked him into bed that night and had checked on him a few times over the course of the night, but when she got up in the morning, he was deceased. He had passed away in the back bedroom facing the back of my sister's house. The twins were born a couple years later and when they were 3 or 4 they would look up at the window where the boy had passed and stare. My sister asked them what they were looking at and both if them replied, the little boy, mom, he keeps staring at us, I think he wants to come over and play. This happened a few more times that year and really freaked my sister out because she couldn't see anyone at the window but they would insist and couldn't understand why their mom couldn't see the little boy. They were apparently seeing the little boy who passed because the woman who lived there only had the one grandchild and no other little kids lived there. They're almost adults now and have no recollection of the incidents.

Fascinating story! Reminds me of the time when I visited Seattle to a friend's wedding. When she & the groom we're having a private conversation in the house, I didn't want to intrude on their space so i waited patiently in the middle of the staircase between their living room & bedroom of their 2 story home. I sat on the steps and as I waited for them to come out of their bedroom, I noticed their cats were "staring" at something next to me. I looked around, but didn't see anything. Finally my friend comes out the door, and her first reaction was "what are you doing sitting in the middle of the staircase?", and I told Her "you guys were talking for a while so I decided to sit here & get comfortable while I waited for you to come out the door, is that alright?" She kind of answered laughing "yea yea, that's fine", but with the look she gave, I sensed she wasn't telling me everything! When I returned back home to NYC, we spoke on the phone & she told me the real reason why she was surprised to see me sitting in the middle of the staircase. Apparently she often spots the ghost of a little girl seen crying sitting in the middle of the staircase! One time she confronted the little girl & asked her if she lived here before. The little girl replied "yes", and then my friend asked "why are u crying? Are you lost?". The ghost told her "I'm looking for my mommy, please help me find my mommy!". That moment I suddenly had goose bumps all over me! Her now husband has also seen her ghost a few times wandering in the kitchen. My friend didn't want to say anything to me at the time because she knew it would freak me out, and it did! I never saw any ghost while I was at the house. However, when my friend left me alone in that house to pick up her gown, I recall a feeling of being "watched" in the living room from the staircase so I decided to run upstairs quick and take a shower before the groom arrives. As i did so, I saw their cats stare in my direction but didn't feel any bad vibes. Also, their house is across the street from a grave yard which might explain alot, lol.

This one honestly really got to me. How can you actually see a person in the middle of a national park, at night, try to engage with them, get nothing back, and think its ok just to take off without alerting anyone right then and there if possible. Even take that person with you if it doesn't distress them and drop them off at a police/ranger station. Especially if they are BARE FOOT, just absolutely baffling.

[@mariannepeart8570]

right! why didn't the other hikers not try to engage her in any conversation. 🙄😥

[@WhitneyDahlin]

What's interesting to me that it's well known fact that a car accident can be so bad that the shoes literally fly off your feet. It can knock you right out of your shoes. So it would make sense if she was seen barefoot after that and maybe the car was ransacked because she was searching for her shoes? But the fact she had a big bruise on her face showed that even if there was no blood in the car she got hit on the head pretty badly, it's also possible she flew out of the car and hit a tree or something and there's blood all over that tree or the ground and it's just far enough away from the car that it wasn't seen at the time. And of course it wouldn't be there now it would be washed away. It's also possible because of the car accident happening off of a steep ravine that she flew out of the car when she hit the tree and landed IN the branches of another tree farther down the ravine. I would like someone to go check in Winter once all the foliage is off and see if they can find anything. But frankly all the sightings except the first one where they saw her with a bruise on her face and barefoot seem made up and attention seeking. Especially those hunters who claimed she was wearing something completely different than what she was last seen in? And they didn't mention anything about a bruise on her face. It's also possible they saw someone else entirely with blue hair. From my experience blue hair is a popular color to dye your hair especially for like hippies. And the natural place for hippies to get high and chill out is in the woods. I can't wait for that kid to grow up so that way he can tell the truth if he actually saw her or not. You would be surprised how many terrible parents use their kids to get internet clout and have their kids lie for them.

What weirded me out most was I used to camp there in the 90's when I was a kid. I have no idea where it was, but my Uncle and I went hiking and came across this hidden cemetery (it was in the middle of nowhere and no trails close to it, not marked on any maps and to be honest I have no idea how we even found it) that probably dated back to the gold rush era. There were maybe 50ish graves there, along with several graves that looked to belong to babies or small children. Along the way we heard typical sounds of nature but when we up got there I remember at one point realizing that I didn't hear any birds or insects. The only sound was a slight breeze blowing through the trees. Me and my uncle hardly said a word as we were looking around and finally he said "I really feel like we're not supposed to be here" and then we left. I remembered feeling like I was being watched too. Still gives me the creeps when I think about it even though I don't really believe in ghosts or anything. Though I should point out we also used to camp at a place called Jackson Meadows so I might have the locations mixed up. Awesome story Mr. Ballen!

[@maryfuller8598]

There's a KZbin channel where a man named Donnie Laws talks about the Appalachian Mountains. He also had experienced an old graveyard in the woods with complete silence all around....

[@skyggedoes]

There is a allegedly haunted cemetery just a couple of miles from where I live that has a huge reputation of having some real active paranormal phenomena. I wanted to go out there to see what I could experience and the drive up there was really nice. Alot of forest and country homes, birds singing, sunshine. That was until we (my little brother was with me) got within maybe 2 mi/1.5 mi from the cemetery. All activity ceased. We had seen people on their porches, in their gardens, enjoying the day all the way prior to getting close to the cemetery. No people. No cars on the road. But even stranger than all that, every percieveable sound of nature had disappeared. Birds fell silent. No sounds of insects calling in the woods. Everything fell away in proximity to this cemetery, everything but a slight, subtle breeze moving the leaves of the trees. Once we arrived the cemetery, a heaviness landed on me and my brother. Like two giant hands had clasped together over me, my brother, and this graveyard. The gate was already open, and we walked in. To paint a picture of this cemetery, it was basically a large rectangular plot carved directly out of dense forest. The entryway of the cemetery was on one of the shorter sides of the rectangle. Upon entering the gate there was a short, singular dirt path that went maybe 75 feet into the cemetery, the cemetery itself being about 400 ft long and maybe 100 ft wide. The path was between 4 trees staggered on each side. The trail dissipated and all that was left was graves. As soon as me and my brother got off the dirt trail, we heard what sounded like a 300lb wwe wrestler sprinting full speed out of the woods towards our direction. When we turned around...Nothing. Scariest paranormal experience ive had to date.

[@PerimeterControl361]

Similar experience... My friend has an old miner's cabin in California. It's in a very remote location. I've been going there with them since we were kids. Funny thing is every time we go it's dead silent and there's almost no animal activity (I've only ever seen 1 squirrel and maybe two birds). I've grown up camping in remote forests and deserts my whole life and you will always hear and see wildlife. Every single time I've been there it's always silence, day and night. We once took our friend's dog who absolutely loves the outdoors and it refused to leave the inside of the cabin the entire trip. This dog has been on countless backpacking trips and such, so very out-of-character. Certainly very weird but I never felt a negative presence, I definitely did not feel alone there though. It should be noted that at the time I was not superstitious but the older I get and the more that I have seen and learned makes me question what we perceive and deny about the world around us. Not saying that's what it is but I think it's important to respect the dead. I like to keep an open mind, just because we can't prove something with science does not mean it does not exist. Think, for a very long time humanity believed that Earth was the center of the universe and our sun orbited around us... Just sayin' ...

I'll never forget. When I was 4, my grandmother purchased a few acres of land in a small Texas town, and had a trailer house built there. The land had been worked on a bit by a construction crew prior to the move, to prepare it for the new home. We were never there during that part. We arrived the day the trailer did, and I remember just kinda hanging out all afternoon, watching the trailer being connected (it was a double wide), and after that was done (around 8pm), we officially moved in, and had a little family get together in our new home. It was me, my younger brother, my aunt, mom, and grandma living there. But my uncles would stop by often enough, especially in those first few days after we moved in. One day, maybe a week or two into our stay, we were out in the backyard, and I found a white wooden steak in the ground, between a small group of trees. I pulled it out, and immediately took it to my mom, who was relaxing with my grandmother in a couple of chairs, sipping some sweet iced tea. The sight of that steak really freaked my mom out, and she stood up, grabbed it from me, and promptly threw it in the garbage, saying something to herself like, "I thought we got them all." The "we" being her, and my uncles. Now, a wooden steak in the ground isn't that strange. We eventually ended up getting our own to use as markers, when my mom decided to start planting seeds. But, the steak I had found that day, wasn't just a plain steak in the ground. No. The sharp end that had been buried in the ground, was also covered in dried blood. Later that night, I had a very vivid dream. In the dream, I was back in that moment when I had pulled the steak from the dirt, but this time, as I was pulling it out, I paid more attention to how soft the dirt was there, and also the strange sound the dirt made as I removed the piece of wood. It sounded almost like a bag being crumpled up. So, curious, I started to dig with my hands, and very quickly some black plastic was visible. Either some kind of tarp, or heavy-duty garbage bags, I don't know. I continued to unearth this object, which I could tell was rather large, and once I had a pretty decent chunk of it visible, I decided to start tearing it open from the point where the steak had been, both excited, and fearful at the same time. When I finally got the entire exposed part of the bag opened, I was horrified to find the remains of a woman inside, in a white nightgown. Her body was heavily decomposed. Her hair was still mostly in tact, but her skin was very dark, and sunken in, giving a pretty clear image of the bones underneath. Her eyes were just two empty sockets, and her lips and nose were basically gone. Her white nightgown had large dark spots of dried blood on it in various places, and in those places, upon closer inspection, there were clear punctures in both the fabric, and the skin beneath. Those holes were all the same size as the steak I had found. I woke up from that dream, and at first, I thought it was just that, until I realized that I really had found a bloody steak in the backyard the day before, and what if my dream was telling me to look closer at that spot? So, a little while later, I was once again playing in the backyard, and I found myself searching for snakes in that general area, and decided to check the exact spot from the prior day, but thinking I'd find nothing. I was wrong. As soon as I stepped over the area which would have concealed the lower half of the corpse, I could feel the dirt beneath me sinking in a bit, and could hear that plastic rustling sound from my dream. I dropped to my knees, and began digging. Just like in my dream, I didn't get far before the black plastic was visible to me. But, this wasn't a dream. It was a reality I, at 4 years old, was not ready for. So, after getting the top half uncovered, and being able to recognize the distinctly human shape underneath, I changed my original course of action, and instead of ripping the bag open, I reburied my find, and decided to never speak of it to anyone. Fast forward about 20 years. Me and my mom were talking about how much we missed living in that place, as we had had to move only a few years later. Well, for some reason, my brain went straight to that experience, and I brought up the steak. My mom was surprised I'd remembered it, but told me that, the first day we were there, she and my uncles had noticed these steaks out front, most half buried, some broken, but they all seemed to have blood on the ends. Not wanting to frighten the rest of us, they'd immediately started collecting all the pieces, and throwing them out, but they'd obviously missed at least one. So, I finally decided to tell my mother about my experience, and she looked absolutely shaken. She then revealed to me, that one of the construction guys who had been working on the property prior to our arrival, had been under investigation after his inlaws had called them because they couldn't reach their daughter, or her husband. When the cops found he was alive, and that his wife was unaccounted for, but he clearly didn't seem to care, since he hadn't called them first, they immediately suspected he'd murdered her, but couldn't find the body, or any evidence that he'd done anything to her. He had insisted that they'd had a big fight, and she'd left, presumably to go stay with her parents. But, he didn't seem worried about the fact that nobody else had heard from her since then either. The police suspected that he'd actually poured cement over her body, and that she now somewhere underneath the the floor of the brand new gym he'd helped build at the school. If I'd known all of this back then, I maybe could have helped solve the case. To this day, I'm unaware if her body was ever found again.

My family has a cabin around the Sierra Nevada mountain range. I've been going there in the summers since I was born and its always been a wonderful place, very safe and comfortable. I used to, and still do, hike around in the woods there with friends or by myself, but I remember one instance when I was probably 11 or 12 and I was hiking out in the wood alone. I dont think I was terribly far from the cabin and it was a bright sunny day, but very quickly the forest went quite, the birds stopped chirping and I suddenly could barely hear the sound of the river which was quite close by. Everything sounded almost muffled and the hairs on my neck started standing up. I immediately turned around and started sprinting at full speed back to our cabin. No idea what it was, but there's definitely some unexplained stuff out there

[@shivanisingh-sv1uc]

This was incredibly startling. I'm pretty certain spirits don't change their clothes. The child described her as wearing the same clothes that she was initially sighted in. So if she was deceased, it was likely after the last sighting of her standing by the tree wearing the floral tee. Unless, could it be possible that she was killed by someone and deliberately propped up by the tree in a change of clothes..maybe she was already dead and the passers by didn't realise it ?!? Then buried as the child described. I'm completely baffled. And as disturbing as this story is, it's also really sad. Not knowing where your loved one is..my heart goes out to her family.

To this day she says she continues to dream of them and believes she’s actually having conversations with them. I’ve actually done a TON of research on this! Best I can tell, is that children and some breeds of animals can see through the “veil” around us. As we age, we’re sort of “infected” with adults telling us stuff like, “Ghosts aren’t real”, and religion telling us these are witchcraft signs and such. Children are born little people pleasers that experience trauma if their parents are disappointed in them. So I think that almost everyone is born with these abilities until we believe that it’s wrong or evil and we actually flip that switch in our brain to off.

How we got disconnected from our family was the most bizarre and heart dropping incident I have ever experienced. It felt like we walked into a time portal, got lost, and 15 minutes later we were with our family again. What was really strange is the fact that while we were lost and looking for everyone, no one seem to noticed that we were lost or was worried.

@@killerfreckles1162 I'd love to listen to this, can you remember what it was?

[@Kyamepriya]

There is always something mysterious in the wood. I’m from Thailand and whenever somebody get lost in the forest, they will pray with the monk and the missing person just appear out of nowhere right in front the area we been searching for weeks or months. They said some good and bad spirits in the wood try to cover us like a wall shield so nobody will see you. Idk the ghost prolly wants to play cuz they have nothing to do and chaos begins lol

That was by far the spookiest Mr Ballen I’ve seen so far!!!

[@missUn1verse81]

This has got to be the best and creepiest story I heard from Mr. Ballen. Better than the Bells Canyon story even. I believe both are related to paranormal sightings. Mr. Ballen is the best story teller ever!

[@Si74l0rd]

My favourite paranormal one is his retelling of the Skinwalker Ranch. Plenty of oddities in that one.

MrBallen is the best storyteller on KZbin. We all enjoyed the strange, dark, and mysterious delivered in story format.

I can imagine how much fun it would be sitting on a camp fire at night with a few friends and have Mr. ballen there tell us some freaky stories!!!

I can't with your profile picture, so funny haha love Sal 😂

I live north of Madera County and never heard a word about the Hughes disappearance and the strange happenstances surrounding this issue. I was immediately reminded of terrifying murders that have occurred in the beautiful Sierra Nevada mountains over decades. I hope Ms. Hughes is located at some point. Thank you for sharing, Mr. Ballen.

[@DestineeY]

I live in the ranchos and never heard of this story. It’s so interesting hearing Mr. Ballen tell a story close to home

[@spencerh2860]

What murders ?

[@agent606]

@@spencerh2860 the Cary stayner murders I’m assuming.

[@libra7.063]

Yeah, I never heard about this story either. I'm less than an hour away

[@knowsmebyname]

Everything about this case is massive weird. Including the fact that multiple ppl who are into, strange dark and mysterious stories delivered in story format, have never heard of this case.
