When I was escaping an abusive ex, I had a young married couple pull over on the side of the road and offer me a ride. It was a super rural area outside of Atlanta n I was super hesitant at first, but some instinct told me it would be safe. Turned out it was a pastor and his wife, and the wife told me she had had some intense urge to go out, that she couldn’t explain. That something had been nagging at her for like 15 mins to go on a drive , they weren’t even headed anywhere in particular. To this day, I believe they likely saved my life , either from my ex or something bad happening to me in the 40-50 miles I needed to travel to get to the Atlanta bus stop to catch a bus to my parents. I’ll never forget that.

[@joeydrummer7929]

From what I read it’s likely Hitler lied about this story and that it never happened . Just to throw that out there. There’s some facts that cast doubt on the legitimacy of this story

[@adriansmith5273]

There have been several documented cases of the second story happening. A parent dead on contact, small child or baby strapped in the car and a 911 call being made by the deceased or EMTs hearing the deceased parent yelling for them to help. I think these kinds of stories are so interesting.

[@dawnmathwin6126]

There was the one were the mam had crashed off a bridge into water & drown as the car landed upside down but luckily the baby was strapped in a secured car seat so was held up out the water & the police looking for them heard the mother shouting something like help or we're down here but when they got to the car the mother was dead on impact so they believed it was the mother's spirit shouting out to save the child.

[@ShadeSlayer1911]

I'm not exactly a believer in the supernatural, but cases like these certainly get me thinking.

[@andrewharris6507]

This is my theory. The woman who had spontaneously jumped out of bed and wanted to go drive, had seen the accident prior but was afraid to call the police because they were drinking and driving. Then they were checking the news and never saw that the accident was reported and couldn’t live with themselves. Instead of admitting to not reporting the accident because they would be looked upon poorly. They invented that story. People in rural areas tend to drink and drive more often, to add to my theory.

[@AKPC-0331]

​@Andrew Harris exactly what i was thinking. They saw it happen and just kept driving for whatever reason, and then the guilt of not reporting it kicked in and they made the story up to not cast doubt on their characters when talking to the police about it.

[@scottcooper3834]

The story for Henry is so sad because he displayed his humanity only for that Hitler to take his gift of life and use it to take the lives of so many others. I always wondered if Henry ever found out about this and if so what his reaction was

Oh he did he know and he said "even if I know what he gonna do I'm still going to spare him"

[@Marxistnazi]

​@@basic_avarage_person idk, doing so would change the course of history drastically.

[@FakeAssHandsomeMcGee_]

@@Marxistnazi If Henry killed him, then Hitler wouldn't do any of those things so he wouldn't be an evil man. Henry, on the other hand, would be the guy that shot an unarmed wounded soldier which is considered murder in the military. It is like those hypotheticals of _Would you go back in time and kill baby Hitler?_

[@FakeAssHandsomeMcGee_]

Supposedly Hitler said something about a British soldier sparing him in WW1. Hitler wanted to meet him personally and shake his hand I believe. Heard he wanted to give him one of his personal art pieces.

[@Marxistnazi]

@@FakeAssHandsomeMcGee_ back then you can pretty much kill anyone in the military, the US was responsible for some war crimes as well. Also I think without Hitler popularizing the Nazi party, who were strongly against bolshevism, then a communist revolution in the Weimar Republic would probably be more likely. And in most communist states genocides and terror campaigns are often undertook, also civil wars. Germany was just at a shit position during that time, and people thought the Nazi party would help get them out of it.

I had that horrible sense of dread come over me one night after dinner when my husband and I were just sitting around watching tv. I tried to ignore it, move around, get something to drink, but it just wouldn’t go away but got worse until I was in tears. I told my husband I needed to take a minute and pray through this feeling. I prayed God’s protection over all my family, all friends, my coworkers, basically every person I could think of. Then as quick as it came, the feeling left. The next morning I went into work like normal. We all noticed our coworker wasn’t there and no one had heard from her and couldn’t get ahold of her. 4 hours later she finally arrived to work and told us her boyfriend had experienced a psychotic episode the night before. He pulled out all the kitchen knives and had badly cut up his arms and neck before she found him. Thankfully she found him before he hit any major arteries, and thankfully he hadn’t turned to try to harm her or their infant child. He was rushed to the hospital where he was cleaned up, put back together, and where his mental health issues were rightfully addressed. I 100% believe that I prayed protection over them that night! I’ve only had that intuition one other time when my dad was taking flying lessons and almost had an airplane emergency land on top of him but he paused to take a selfie before taking off which kept him out of the way. Listen to those gut feelings!

[@markhcollen]

a) Minus his gestures, his storytelling would lose a lot of impact, and, more importantly, b) He needs to lose some very bad speech habits that are just too unprofessional for pro audiobook work: e.g., "very unique"--something is either unique (one of a kind) or NOT unique--"very" is not an option. There are a ton more examples, & if Mr. B is interested in what they are (seems like a guy not allergic to self-improvement lol), I'd welcome his interest. ;) But, no: audiobooks have pretty strict standards, just like some very entertaining writers would never be hired at NYT. :) (For an example from this ep: it's not "a children's shoe"....it''s "a child's shoe." -- none of which detracts [much] from how entertaining he is...& could even be argued it 'humanizes' his spiels, or 'makes them more homey'. :) )

The ability to make "The Right" choice is what separates mans mind from animal . That and opposing digit on each hand. Henry, of this story about not shooting Adolph, is most likely the boldest fiction. To encourage the allied soldier to keep shooting even when exhausted from the hours. days & weeks of killing. A seed of thought, to continue since you never know what a mess you might cause by letting one get away?

[@Ashley-mq2vd]

@@jackrichards1863 I thought the same thing! That it was a folktale of sorts or cautionary tale made up by the allied forces to ensure their fighters put the mission ahead of their individual needs, not show mercy, and to help justify them killing someone bc they don't know what evil that person may commit in the future type of thing.

Historians have exposed the Hitler story as an urban myth. Hitler was in Germany on 2 weeks military leave on the date of the supposed incident, 28th September 1918, so it couldn't have been him. Other stated details don't add up either. If you think about it, the story makes no sense. It supposes that both men later confirmed the other's identity, which is highly unlikely.

[@glamdolly30]

@@kaysherrif6485 Henry Tandey was undoubtedly a very brave man, as were so many soldiers who tragically never made it home or got any awards. Had it been possible to corroborate the Hitler story, it would have been proven by now. The 'PR blunder' you describe would not have kept the truth hidden to 2021! In fact it is now confirmed it could not have been Adolf Hitler, as he was on his second military leave - therefore in Germany - from 10 September 1918 for 18 days. The story is set during that period of Hitler's absence from battle, on 18th September. The respected British Cadbury Research Centre investigated the story of Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain's supposed involvement in this story, so often cited as 'proof' it happened. It was claimed Chamberlain discussed Tandey with Hitler during the famously tense and historic negotiations that led to the Munich Agreement. The story goes that Hitler asked Chamberlain (rather improbably), to phone Tandey and give him his best wishes. This supposed phone call has been fully investigated and the details don't hold up to scrutiny - like the incident itself, it never happened. History is written by many witnesses, not all of them reliable - that's sadly inevitable. But time usually sorts the facts from the fantasy, the truth from the half truth. So it's disappointing this KZbinr presents this fully de-bunked story as truth, over 100 years later! It's not the only such myth about Hitler having close shaves with death. Many other such stories surfaced after WW2 and were also, eventually disproved.

But then you have to keep in mind that in the early 80's, there were still a lot of smaller businesses, rather than conglomerates we've become used to. While there was equipment that could have taken care of it in a much more sanitised way, even a plumbers snake was more expensive at that time. The internet has made buying things far easier, and far more competitive, so most things either got far more advanced, or they got cheaper. Today it's far more easy and affordable to buy the right tools for the job. But some jobs were not only cheaper, but also quicker and easier if you just got your hands dirty. It used to be, men weren't afraid to get a little poop on them to earn a paycheck. Although personally, I think I would have quit or got fired, rather than stick my hand in there - lol.

I saw this story on Unsolved Mysteries decades ago. What they said is when the leo, Rich Strasser, approached the little boy Nick, he caressed Nick's cheek to see if he was still alive. Nick opened his eyes, smiled and the leo, Rich Strasser, picked him up and carried him up the steep ravine. When asked how he stayed alive, Nick said his mom Christine was there with him protecting him from wild animals, the dark and kept him warm. Almost like she was his guardian angel. So heartbreaking. I've searched for this story on and off through the years and here it is on Mr Ballen's channel! One more thing, when Deborah first saw the mom Christine, she was indeed naked on the side of the road but her arms and legs were in awkward positions. Her limbs were bent in wrong directions. Christine knew her little boy Nick was near death. Makes me think, that the mom's love for her precious little boy was so strong, that she would do everything in her power, even in death, to make sure someone would save him. The only thing she could do in her ghostly state was to manifest herself onto the side of the road in the most shocking manner to get Deborah's attention. Dear mom did what ever she could possibly do for her son even from beyond the grave. Dollars to donuts, Christine is Nick's guardian angel.

probably because the guy was so grossed out, ready to give up and go home, totally weirded out, that he just took it as if the person was half-joking and then responded sarcastically.

Its funny how the stories create suspense but MrBallen's way of delivering it is calming

[@Thatgirl1976]

Yes! That’s exactly why I love watching these videos!

[@veronicaorozcomdoma6138]

He is good!

[@yesseniapozuelos8787]

That's why he's my fave, I'm a paranoid person and when I watch chiller and others I get freaked out lol but mrballen is so calm I love it

[@lemonchanisrandom1531]

I’m sure he gets really sad

[@Skyscraper2015]

I often wonder who Mr Ballen is thinking of when he personifies the Like Button. It makes me laugh to think His Like Button has a life of its own. Again really gripping stories. Imagine waking up to a corpse standing above your bed staring a blank stare with it's arms raised. I generally do not like having mirrors in my bedroom at all, not sure what my wife will do, although having someone else comfortably in my room whom I love, would probably help with that. But yes, ever since watching that Supernatural episode Bloody Mary I have never wanted a mirror in my room and if we ever go anywhere to a holiday home I either cover the mirror if there is one or turn it around. Old habits and fears die hard. Thank you Mr Ballen for all your stories. It is really fascinating. I love your consistency and you have a gift with stories. Also your background music helps with setting the feel.

Hear me out. Something tells me it is very plausible if Deborah and her husband made the story up after feeling guilt of having accidentally ran Christine Scubbish off the road and not telling anyone for days

[@tristasayers1516]

My question was why did they only check Bullion Bend AFTER Deborah and her husband called? If Bullion Bend was "The last place Deborah was seen" why wasn't that searched??

[@Wesenskern]

They called the police right away, didn't they?

It sucks just how memorable all of his videos are, because when I try rewatching them I instantly remember how each story goes.

[@Rogerio-ls1jw]

yeah, that sucks a lot, I think it is because they are so good.

[@zaitieamirah9876]

I know right. I was like "i've heard this" and "dammit this one too" and same for the rest of them
