Top 3 photos with DISTURBING backstories | Part 13 (Reaction)

[@newgrl]

The "Walking Ghost" syndrome was depicted in the mini-series "Chernobyl" really well. Great series if you haven't seen it yet.

[@Hey_Jamie]

The stove wasn’t replaced because the person who bought the place wanted it there. They sell tours of it. They’re profiting. Not living.

[@guinep]

that's messed up

[@bentleyv1233]

People are weirdos

[@ToniaElkins]

There is soooo much more to the Zack and Addie story. Addie used Zack to get that new apartment cuz she was broke and took him off immediately because she never really wanted him to move in. Also Zack was previously married and had kids. Addie was also bipolar. Neither of them were great people and had a lot of issues.

[@chandlerengels2727]

Definitely keep these reactions coming!! I never miss any of them

[@gunrot]

For sure, these reactions always make my day!

[@StormyOne1]

I shouldn't have searched that pic Instant regret

[@destrya]

I'm glad you put me on to his channel, I've watched so many of his videos!!!

[@jacenjustice]

His name is John B. Allen. His KZbin Mr. Ballen, not Mr. B Allen. When he said that someone corrected him in the last video my first thought was, "But he himself says Ballen."

[@thatreddude7700]

Thurston knows this. It was a joke but I guess it went over everybody’s head.

[@allow-itman9749]

Why can't anyone understand our British sarcasm? 🤦‍♂️🤣

[@Vincisomething]

I went to Louisiana once and I don't know about things to that level, but I know they're kind of whatever about living in a place that could be haunted. I've even seen signs that say that a particular apartment could be haunted. I'd rather live in a haunted apartment than use that oven.

[@heidileigh7023]

Some mf strangle then try to bake me bet if I could haunt I would

[@CriticalityIncident]

The famous "Ouchi"-picture he was talking about at the end isn't Ouchi though (the picture is of a man on his back in a hospital bed with his arms and legs lifted, and with one of his feet missing). It's a picture of a burn victim. I can highly recommend reading "Slow Death: 83 Days of Radiation Sickness". It paints another picture than just evil doctors keeping him alive against his will as a guinea pig. There's a Japanese documentary with English subtitles here on KZbin as well, where the medics involved with Ouchi's treatment speak about the experience. I highly recommend that as well.

[@heidileigh7023]

Yes!!!!!

[@gr8gmr]

Where did you get that that wasn't him?

[@CriticalityIncident]

@@gr8gmr I've read the book "Slow Death: 83 Days of Radiation Sickness". It's based on Ouchi's medical records and it contains a picture of Ouchi's sterile room at the hospital. It looks absolutely nothing like the room in the famous picture claimed to be Ouchi. The person in that picture also has a foot missing. The doctors treating Ouchi discussed amputating his foot, but decided against it since he wouldn't be able to heal afterwards. The bed in the "Ouchi picture" looks nothing like the hospital bed they placed Ouchi in either. I highly recommend that you read the book and then compare the information and the pictures in it with the so called "Ouchi picture". You'll notice that pretty much nothing fits.

[@CriticalityIncident]

@@gr8gmr Another major difference is that Hisashi Ouchi was intubated pretty early on, while the patient in the "Ouchi picture" isn't.

[@gr8gmr]

@@CriticalityIncident Well keep in mind that he said that the picture was only associated with the story, not that it was actually him.

[@diannen4225]

Ouchi was treated as a LAB RAT! SICK!😡

[@ImOutOfMtDew]

I always thought it was Mr Ballen. Mr B Allen sounds so weird now lol

[@Hey_Jamie]

It is B Allen but he portmanteau’ed it to Ballen

[@maxc8721]

It is Mr Ballen

[@sandpiperr]

What they did to Ouchi wasn't a bit sketchy, it's completely unethical! I don't know if it was legal in Japan at the time or not, but in terms of medical and scientific ethics it was completey wrong! Putting someone through torture to study them, particularly some who is no longer consenting to it, the goes against every practice for ethical medical research.

[@CriticalityIncident]

It would have been illegal for the doctors NOT to try to resuscitate him without a signed do not resuscitate order from his wife, and it wasn't until after his three cardiac arrest on day 59 she actually signed one. At one point his sister even donated bone marrow. There's a book (Slow Death: 83 Days of Radiation Sickness) and a Japanese documentary with English subtitles here on KZbin that gives a way more nuanced picture of what happened. Both of them have used Ouchi's medical records as a reference. Highly recommend them both.

[@theosnepenthes8751]

Moral of the story: Never move into an apartment above an infamous voodoo temple! ;-) Has Hollywood made a film about it yet, the plot is perfect for a horror movie, the devil made him do it...

[@gageunruh3574]

Its extreamly insensitive towards a innocent womans death. The man did his crime of his own choices

[@theosnepenthes8751]

@@gageunruh3574 So, you're against any film or television portrayals of true crimes, huh? Nice to know hermits still exist in 2022...

[@gageunruh3574]

@@theosnepenthes8751 even going against the insensitive angle, the devil made him do it is a tired and overused plotline in horror anyway like in the amityville horror films which are meh at best and dont even portray the story correctly.

[@SherriLyle80s]

I made the mistake of looking at photos of Ouchi. No. Words. Holy sh*!

[@CriticalityIncident]

The famous picture with a guy in a hospital bed with basically all his skin missing isn't him though. It's a burn victim.

[@geico1975]

You see, this is what bother's me. How the hell does Mr. B-allen know the same stove is used to this day? HA! What happens if the ones occupying that apartment find out? Bhahahaha!

[@andreaprochowski4717]

Throughout the entire second story my only thought was "Is it THAT story about a girl murderer by her boyfriend?" And I kept swinging between yes and no since I don't remember the details.

[@ToniaElkins]

You should react to his Top 3 VIDEOS with disturbing backstories PART 9. That one has stuck with me ever since I saw it! (Also it’s not Mr B Allen, it’s Ball-In. Watch till the very end to hear him say it. You weren’t saying it wrong before! Lol.)

[@garros]

Oh, man, I looked up the photo...

[@frankisfunny2007]

I've seen so many people ask for the Killdozer, and MrBallen did that story, on the 20th part of this series.

[@nellybarrett7]

This sounds like MAD SCIENTIST SCARY SHIZ POOR MAN!

[@deathwitheponine]

Really strange interpretation of the Ouchi story. The doctors had to keep intervening to save his life because his family wanted them to. His sister even donated bone marrow to try and save him, and it improved his situation markedly for about a week, but the radiation still in his body killed off those cells and he eventually died. Also there’s no way in hell someone is still actively using that stove. Pretty sure it would have been removed from the apartment at least initially and thoroughly sanitized. Someone would have had to pay really good money to get it back. Not sure they should have been allowed to tbh. Sometimes I think this guy just goes for the most sensational take on a story, no matter how accurate it is…which is kind of sad.

[@heidileigh7023]

Agreed on all points

[@Vic-14]

Yeah, you're right, he's trying to make a show out of someone's suffering. And calling him "dead" on that picture is a complete nonsense btw.

[@sammurphy3343]

someone was messing with you. his name is mr Ballen pronounced "Baw-len. he even pronounces it like that himself.

[@sandpiperr]

Yeah, I was sure I'd heard Mr.Ballen himself say that. Not sure why "ballin'" is so hard for non-Americans to say!

[@Rakerong]

@@sandpiperr Nah he's pronounced it right in the past, but saw someone comment about the name (probably trolling him) and so he thinks that it's supposed to be "B-Allen" Hopefully he'll realize it and the future videos will be corrected.

[@webbess1]

His name really is John B Allen, but he calls himself Mr. Ballen on the Internet.

[@DoctorAkikoFukuwara]

I love your Mr. B. Allen videos mate haha

[@IncredibleChief]

Found the picture of that guy! Craziness.

[@CriticalityIncident]

If it's the picture of a guy on his back in a hospital bed with his arms and legs lifted and with one foot missing it's not him. That's a picture of a burn victim. Horrible picture nonetheless, but not Ouchi.

[@Fridge56Vet]

I wonder if it is a self-cleaning oven....

For the record or somebody were to do that to me I’d have an absolute fit there’s no way I’m gonna be a nice person if somebody does that when I’m in the shower

A lot of these "tragedies" he presents are actually just examples of pure ignorance and ego. Basically just Darwin at work lol.
