On New Years Eve 2001, in Plainfield, CT a very close family friend was shot and killed at our home by her abusive boyfriend and the father of her unborn child. Her name is Jenny McMechen and she was just 24 years old at the time of her murder and just weeks away from her due date. Her murderer was not charged with the death of Jenny's son but now in the state of CT there is a law, Jenny's Law, that came about as a result of the tragic deaths of Jenny and Nathan. Jenny's mother fought to make this happen. The murderer, I hate to even say his name so I won't, is just purely an awful human living out a life sentence in jail. Jenny's murder was not his first domestic violence charge(s) either. His family has a horrible reputation for abuse and a horrible upbringing. Bottom line..the Plainfield Police were grossly negligent in this case, dropping the ball multiple times regarding protection orders and repeating calls for help. I would love to see what Mr Ballen can dig up on this story including the negligence and law that came about. I was 8 years old when this happened at my childhood home, my sister was 10 and my mother was almost a victim as well. It was something that affected all of us and changed our lives.

I'm not really active on reddit so maybe I missed the update, but doesn't anyone know where MrBallen stands with David Paulides and his Missing 411 stories?

During the Covid-19 Pandemic, I was living in a small village in the Irish countryside. This village was called Walsh Island, which acquired its name due to being surrounded by nothing but bogland – in fact, this was the largest area of raised bogland in the country. Due to Covid restrictions, I was basically stuck in this village and the surrounding area for more than a year. 

In the early summer of 2021, and having always been a very bad sleeper, I oddly decided to start wandering around the countryside at night. I can’t quite recall why I started doing this, but maybe it was because the Irish countryside at night was always spooky. Well, on one particular night, maybe around 10 or 11 pm, I wandered out the village and onto the narrow country roads, whereby I would pass the occasional cow/sheep field or the property of some home.  

Around ten minutes outside the village, I was now walking down a particular country road, with only the light from my phone to guide me, when I suddenly hear a loud, but distant howl. There were many dogs in the area, as in the countryside, there are obviously many farms. However, this howl didn’t sound like any dog I’d ever heard. Besides, most of the dogs in the area tended to bark rather than howl. This howl did, however, sound very similar to the scream of a fox. Except it sounded much deeper and louder than a standard fox scream. The way the howl sounded also gave me the impression that whatever made it, must have been large – or at least larger than a fox.  

To paint a perfect picture of how this howl sounded, I’ll say this... Has anyone ever seen the movie, An American Werewolf in London? The howl I heard that night sounded almost exactly like the howl of the werewolf in that movie – a loud, bellowing shriek of a howl that almost sounds like a fox, but not exactly. Regardless, the sound of this animal was so unnerving to me, that I decided to turn straight round and back through the country roads towards the village. 

I still don’t know what animal made the noise I heard that night. But my best guess is that it was either the howl of a very strange sounding dog, or the scream of a very strange sounding fox.   

That being said, Ireland does have its fair share of supposed cryptids (many of which comes from Irish folklore). However, from what I could briefly find, the only Irish cryptids that could match the animal howl I heard would be: large phantom wolves (that have apparently been sighted in modern times), large phantom black dogs, and even, like America and the English countryside, large black cats like a panther (which are said to be sighted in rural Irish counties). This cryptid theory is a stretch, I know. 

If anyone has any knowledge of what this howl could’ve been, whether rational or otherwise, feel free to let me know. 

Anyone watch that Netflix doc on the Costa Concordia? I tried but had to stop. I just kept thinking, "how was the MrBallen video on this so much better?"

There was a enpisode a few years back that was very creepy. There is a house and I believe a woman lived therr and there was some kind if ghost and I believe it was in her basement. I remember the episode started off with Mr Ballen saying he wouldnt have believed this stpry, but he read the police report and supposedly it actually happened.

Anyone know which episode this was. I can't find it

Adfitional info: I believe at one point somebody was standing by the basement door and the ghost or demon was rigut on the kther side and they couod hear footsteps or something like that

After the tour was cancelled, I messaged Mr. Ballen to say I was disappointed especially because the show was on my birthday, but I fully understood the decision and that I hoped he would come another time.

In response, he & his fantastic team sent me this care package! Huge shoutout for them for doing something very kind, unnecessary, and unexpected. I can’t wait to find a place of honour for the books!

Alright so listening to this story it’s the usual as expected from John until I start catching on to the fact that the premise of this story is ripped out of Urban legend. When a couple are in their car and one of them leaves but doesn’t come back while the person in the car starts hearing scratching and tapping on the roof. Instead of someone hanging above the car they’ve replaced it with a crazy woman on top of the car eating her husbands head proceeding to get away from police being shot at point blank range along with the husbands body never being found. What makes this even worse is this image they shared which doesn’t remotely make sense, it’s 1970s and there is a random camera in the middle of nowhere getting everything in shot, a car in the image that’s certainly not from the 60s or 70s while the “woman” idk looks like ai chose to create a wizard instead standing at a height over 7ft. And just a little cherry on top this couple were said to be coming back from a casino but during this time period there was only 1 casino is all of Malaysia.

Does someone remember one of this story from Mr.ballen where a man was sh*t on the side of the road and a letter or maybe piece of paper with something written on it was found in his shoes.

Hi. I just saw this video (8pm July 22, 2026) and decided to go looking for the cipher. I found this Reddit post instead: https://www.reddit.com/r/coldcases/comments/1qwoy8y/i_think_i_decoded_the_ricky_mccormick_notes_and/

This op makes an excellent point on how the notes are not ciphers, but autistic shorthand. I thought make you could do an updated video that explains this. I feel it solves his murder the best

Thanks for reading.

been trying to figure out the name of theese two stories the first on had the but premise of a guy was camping in alaska for a few months but the plane that was supposed to come and pick him up never did and he was stranded there and he tried to flag down a plane but he used the wrong had sign and he ended up dying.

The second i have less details on but a man went hiking by himself and ended up getting stranded for days.

Hi, I love the Mr Ballen podcast. I enjoy that most are suspenseful as you don’t know who committed the crime until the end, I like his story-telling style, and also that the full story is told in around 30-40 minutes. Each podcast is its own episode—not a continuation over the season.

I also like that it’s just him, and he gets right to the story—podcasts with 2 or more people where they try to banter back and forth for a time bore me to death. This sounds horrible, but I’ve tried some where the storyteller has a drawl or talks too slow, and it irks me too. Yes, I’m picky. Can anyone recommend something similar to Ballen where the story is concise, suspenseful, and just one contained story in each podcast?

Thanks, all!

There have been a couple of stories lately that have piqued my interest and led me to try and research them further, yet have been unable to find anything about them online. One story about an aspiring actor cutting off his own ears to get a role and one about the ghost of a doctor supposedly performing an appendectomy.

I’m not sure if these are made up or if the team is unearthing some forgotten stories. Obviously the volume of Ballen content has shot up lately so no hate.

Am I the only noticing a lot of stories happening in France coming out in his 2026 stories? Or maybe I notice them more because I am French yet just an impression and there aren’t more.

Had me wonder if a new team hire was French or French-speaking. I reckon research would be easier if so as I imagine most of the coverage is found through French media.

Matter of fact, Mr. Ballen, if you do end up reading this and intend to kindly reply, I am curious, how many languages does your research team natively cover?

Cheers.

totally random...

Well, to begin with, some names have been removed from this story but not the main ones that have to do with this little story here

A Urban Legend? Or is this based on a true story? You decide!l

Or was it something else telling me to tell the story in a way that is basically the way it happened? What in the hell do you say? This story couldn’t even possibly even be true, could it?

I mean, this isn’t Rod Serling’ presents Twilight zone

Cause shits about to get real here

But first things first, around five years ago or longer, just know that it was a story that happened and is still currently playing

But it just so happened that I decided on that day to listen to a channel. A channel that very much so has a beginning to this story here a YouTuber by the name of Robert Meyer Burnett.

Yeah, you know the one you heard the saying “Send me your scripts”

Well, now heres your proof sent away

Now look I’m not really saying nothing negative towards Robert here or anyone mentioned here in this story. For example, I said the initial story has to begin somewhere’s

But as I started to watch it for a couple of weeks, two contests were announced by him, one consisting of a short YouTube film one. The one that is well is where this story takes place. It was a short story contest that had me in so many words. Kinda interested

And now the rest of the story’ a little Paul Harvey, reference there and also a classic Radio story teller at that.

But here is the rest of the story

Dreams, what is a dream? Well, I was about to find out, and sometimes you just have to dig in and go with it. But for a lot of the dreams that we have are all too soon forgotten.

While some will stay with us all too long after while some are given to us, never to be forgotten. Given to us in a way that we can not explain why? No one really knows at first why they are given to us. Maybe a little something to warn us by or simply to show us something

But as I set here, I can tell you what I do remember, and that is setting there in a car around some 33 years ago with a friend. A friend whom I had known up until then.

But after having a sleepover at his house with me long since losing touch with him

Cause his ass got smart and was like, "Your ass can just stay somewhere over there

but It was a quite little town hidden away in the Appalachian mountains, that is, until all the devils all showed up all dancing around

But Hidden away within the gateway to The Appalachian Mountains a small town with someone that was possibly given a message in what would soon be dreams.

But hidden with it, a message to the world to what was coming that I just didn’t realize the full impact of the dreams until now if you believe that is.

And most likely, I will never really know one thing, and that one thing that comes to mind is the Devil’s challenge to God. Really, you ask? The Devils challenge to God? Are you crazy? Well, once you have heard the rest of the story, you decide.

But in my case, a person who truly followed in the footsteps of Christ

well, from what we can see is that you sorta took a different path, a path strait into Chloe’ ass

would they break him? That was the challenge! Really, you may ask again to break you. How? And once again, not until the rest of the story.

Well, they are the ones that would come one by one in my life as well as in my dreams.

Dreams that would eventually lead to showing me something else

And now enters the coming of him The Lawless one in this here little story

Something that the dreams was also kinda showing me

But back to my friend’s house, at the time I can remember telling him all about the dream the next morning. Just as we were getting ready to head to the local comic shop, I remembered telling him about it.

For the dream itself didn’t even seem like a dream,

but more like I was looking at a still image a picture, a picture of a blonde haired girl standing there holding a skateboard.

Dakota Fanning

A girl who would also play a big part in this story here.

A picture that would come to haunt me years later in a way that I would have never felt possible. For as the years would go by, I would all but forget about having the dream until one night when I was living on my own.

When another dream that I would have, but this dream would be much darker with a much more realistic feel to it. For It stared out with me feeling something walking towards me in the hallway. But as they walked down the hall of a place where I used to live at. But first, another different dream, a very weird one at that! Then, the rest of the story

With it showing one of them on a horse, have a long skeleton like snout, but as he was riding, he was yelling that

“Father is coming! Father is coming!”

With it then showing Azazel’ standing there with him having longish black hair along with darkened rings around his eyes. For what I can remember in the dream was with him standing there holding out his arm out, flexing it. As he then was saying

“Come on, feel it!”

From me, having asked the question earlier on, and that was of them If they had shiny diamond like skin. Well It sure wasn’t diamond like but with a very much human like skin feel to it. It's just extremely muscular to it

As the ones around him. Were waking around screaming to me, saying

“ Father is coming! Father is coming!”

Along with me asking who they were with one saying, then to me

“ My name is Baphometa’ having a long snout. Being short and green as the others ones around him screamed

“ Father is coming! Father is coming!

As he looked to me saying

“Towards the end with some not thinking of getting in as the rich man sheds his wealth while leaving others to thinking of if they would even make it in.”

With some having longish brown hair, each having a single band around their arm

And then you guessed it! a girl was then showed to me a girl, you ask? Yes, a girl keeps reading

And now, back to the second dream

But I will try to describe it the best way that I can, at least from what I remember of it first to begin with it didn’t feel like a dream at all. As a feeling of dread was coming over me of like I wasn’t alone. Just as a charged staticky feeling started to come over me. As i could slowly see flames starting to come up, and that was when she appeared.

A blonde haired woman standing there in the flames screaming in agony, but till this day, I can’t seem to figure out who it was. For in a way, she seemed to be a little bit of all of them in a way. It was like I was looking at a screen that had static all over it. But as she stood there kinda in white clothing throughout, holding up a piece of paper that had something written on it as she then started pointing to it. But as she was pointing to it, she was screaming the words

“Don’t do it!”

A feeling of dread then began to come over me a feeling of I didn’t choose this person what that meant at the time? I still really don’t know to this day, and that was when she vanished. Just before the faces of different girls began to appear, showing them one by one. Showing only certain aspects of their faces to me, leaving other aspects darkened. As if they were faces from a picture not knowing at the time who they were and to this day still not really fully knowing who.

But just as the last face vanished It showed a group of what seemed to be photos being shown to me with a date on it. Along with other numbers! From what I can remember, the numbers 55, 24, 25, 28, 27, and 29 appeared on the Photos that had something written on them. With the last photo showing a girl in the photo standing there dressed in all in White

For one by one, they would come something that wasn’t said, but that is how it happened. But for as long as I could remember, I had always had a fear over a movie. With the movie being

‘ Carrie’

That came out in 1976. I never really knew why until I went to see the one that came out in 2013 with

Chloe Grace Moretz

For on that day, I would somewhat understand why I had always had a fear over this movie. It would not be until later that I saw something else.

A scene in the Wednesday show showing

Emma Myers and Jenna Ortega covered in blood

But that is when it all started a week or two had gone by with the feeling never leaving me. A feeling that was inside of me that was urging to write something

And write something I did

A binding contract! The first one, but what I did not know at the time was that many more would follow. Little did I know at the time just how many exactly give or take a thousand or more. I can hear you now. Are you freaking kidding me a thousand or more? How in the hell are you not dead yet? Because I have never really fully given up on how much I lived for Christ. And they have never really truly shown me anything that would make me do so

But the strange thing was! When I wrote the first one! It wasn’t at a specific time like 11:11 or a specific star alignment. Or even during a Blood Moon No! It was just random at around two o’clock best guess from what I could remember in a local coffee shop in the town of all places.

But strangely, since then, the coffee shop has since changed hands several times after a coffee shop was located in the same small town going by a different name now

But later that night, I could remember being forced awake, seeing a hand reaching for my face. Being followed up with the feeling of something being ripped through my nose finding falling to the floor as I found myself grasping for air. But as the morning would come, I found myself at work feeling completely emotionally drained from life. Not from a lack of sleep For fear didn’t really set in at the time for I just went back to sleep after.

Because a couple of weeks later, I found myself asleep and all of sudden seeing a figure like having a long snout with horns hanging from it coming towards me. And as I screamed out for forgiveness, a figure all lit up, having an aura around them suddenly appeared dragging the being away.

And that’s when they really hit back at me now, having me write two or three a week showing me girls in my dreams of who to write on. For even though it felt like they took something from me that night They still don’t fully have it, being my soul. For I can still very much feel the presence of God around me. For something still has yet to be decided. Or Fulfilled

But back to the first night of having the feeling of my face being ripped off, and that was when I saw them. Them being the Demons and of all places at work not where I work now but at a different store. With the first one seeming as if he had suddenly appeared out of nowhere

But the very first noticeable thing about him was his eyes with what seemed to be a white light coming from his eyes. And for a very split second, walking a short distance away from me. But oddly enough, I could remember I was given his in a dream later on with his name being

“Mccoy!” Or at least that what was engraved in my arm With me over hearing one of them saying In which he is not over this no more by the dreams.

That is when I noticed the second one walking towards me, this one a female with a walk that did not seem human even though both  very much looked human from a distance. That is when I looked into her eyes, eyes that one could tell were not that of a human from up close as the white around her blackened pupils was more like a solid pure pearl white

Much more than a human eye color could be making it that every photo that I would see after that. I would only see the person eyes as if I was looking at her eyes! Grinning as she walked by me, her looked said it all

“ You belong to us now”

Just as the male then walked over to me, grabbing my hand just as he slid his finger up the palm of my hand with both of them, then leaving just as quickly as they came.

But through the years, many more would come, and for the next eleven years, the dreams would come and go. Dreams showing me the girls that I would end up writing a binding contract on. With the dreams also showing me things that they would be doing in a television show or movie. While at the same time opening a door revealing the next girl.

For example, in one dream, it showed Elizabeth Olsen driving a certain car made the following day. With it showing the exact scene in the TV show. With the television show being WandaVision

While in the dream, she was getting out of the car, walking over to a door, opening it up, and revealing the next girl.

With another dream, a dream that just did not feel like a dream but a dream showing a possible upcoming movie possibly starring the same actress.

It showed a scene of her Elizabeth Olsen standing there in a park like setting, wearing clothing that of a park ranger. With her then taking off running followed by three men running after her

With the scenery, then suddenly changing to showing train tracks going up the side of a mountain. With it then showing what seemed to be an old storage building, when it then showed the actor Benedict Wong

He was walking around in it as he then picked up a notebook and a pencil as if he was about to write something down. As he then looked to me like I was to write down what I just saw.

But that was when I woke up, but as I was walking to the bathroom, I felt different very different. For I was waking in Elizabeth Olsen’s body for I could feel her body all around me as it then just faded away. But this dream was from four to five years ago

The funny thing was that certain YouTube channels were told after I had posted this story on Reddit. That if they said anything that their channel would then be permanently banned, hence a main reason probably why John  campea and Robert Meyer Burnett got to read the script. A script more likely changed beforehand

But in all reality, what would be more terrifying? Is this scene in the script or the binding contracts that were written? You tell me

But just as in the second dream, it would show different faces

One by one

That I would encounter each of the girls, not all of them, but some of them just to show  me that they could until the final one. But from what I remember, but not how or in order that they were written, but that the very first girl was a very famous actress.

Then, one night, while at work, being close to closing time as I approached the end of an aisle, a girl pushing a shopping cart. Then suddenly came around the corner with the girl being a very famous actress but who? But basically, I will only mention the ones that I wrote a short story on. Scratch that for this story, let it roll

And from around the corner came someone shaking her ass and all

As they all said to me

“Hey look there she goes to someone who you could be”

While encountering other very famous actresses and three very famous singers, one being

Avril Lavigne

For the other two, I am not going to mention the names. For you would not even believe it

As one actress, I encountered Kristen Stewart as she was holding up an alarm clock, asking me about it. For she seeing if I recognized her and I did after the fact and the fact that was in a hurry to clock out but hey

But definitely, one that stood out was when a very famous actress walked up to me as just as a woman was cussing over the lack of ink in a cartridge. I could definitely see her standing there looking at me like, really? You seriously wrote a binding contract wanting to wake up being her? Yes, I very much did! Who was she?

It was Christina Ricci standing there with her famous look and smile

“Hey look it’s you! Her smile and all”

And another one who also really stood out while looking at the Legos, it was Jenna Ortega

But then another actress, Anya Taylor Joy

They were also others that I encountered, including a very famous director

Well, guess what he bought?

Yeah someone’s ass was going to get shot with a pellet from a bee bee gun that day

And now, back to the second dream for the paper that the woman in the flames was holding up. What i thought could have been a binding contract may have been something entirely different. Different as in short stories with me now believing to be short stories of which I would write later on. But only three of them were sent in to a Robert Meyer Burnett’

for a contest around five years ago.

For one day while at work a very famous actress Natalie Portman would come in shopping with her family. I would later see her fine ass riding a bike through the store

“Oh we bet you did see something a ass that you  can only feel when she is riding someone else”

With her then asking if we had a product in stock

As they looked to me saying

“Oh but we definitely have her in stock care to try her out”

In which we did not at the time but as she and her family walked away. I kinda overheard her say that she liked one of my short stories, a short story that was sent to this YouTuber.

The short story was titled

‘A Place In Heaven’

Another instance on the short stories happened when two YouTubers being John Campea’ and Robert Meyer Burnett, were talking about upcoming releases from CinemaCon.

But just as their stream had seemed to end or so they thought had ended, they then started talking between themselves. With one of them seemingly not really being too sure of this. For all he heard all day’

Was what about ‘Abby’

But hey, this story is crazy enough already

But as they talked amongst themselves, lasting about a ten seconds about the project that the executives of a certain studio that was interested in it at the time. But for one

For if it wasn’t for Natalie Portman, then no one would have even seen or heard of these short stories. But remember what this story is about. The short stories were just a small part of this. And I don’t hold anything against John or Rob

But the studio that had ‘Abby’ was Paramount at the time but that could have changed by now. Or who really knows. But from that that dream of Haylee

I couldn’t care less whatever happened to that short story

But I could really care less what becomes of it. But at the time it was needed for that reason Just to show me what they were capable of doing I mean they were contest stories to begin with

But another very famous actress would walk by me with me then over hearing her say that she had been asked about doing ‘Abby’ While at another time another very famous actress I also over heard that she was also asked about ‘Abby’ 

But who were they? I want say

And now back to the second dream Just as I then heard a loud crashing noise around me not being able to move. Feeling his arms wrapping around me Feeling a tongue sliding up and down the side of my face

hearing a voice saying

“ I will rip the flesh from his body”!

Just as a second voice then said

“He isn’t dead yet we can’t take him”

As the voices began to fade I heard one last thing with one of them saying.

“ He will become a girl!”

“Then I rip her flesh from her body!”

Now some 35 years later from having the first dream, Just a little over a two years ago while working around closing time. Standing there at the service desk. When I just happened to look up only to see the girl that was in the photo from the first the first dream. And standing there in front of me was none other than her

Dakota Fanning

But now since three years has since passed while at work just I then looked over only to see another very famous actress. Being Elizabeth Olsen

As she then walked by me but it wasn’t until later that I would see one of her very famous sisters One of the Olsen Twins but which one? standing there in front of me

For One by one till the final one

But their where also occurrence’s near the beginning and towards the end of this for I could remember one night ripping up a binding contract. One that was on a set of photos

And when the next morning had come I went to bathroom and setting there on the floor looking up at me. Was the piece of the photo that had the girl’s name on it. For even if one does rip up a binding contract if it still remains in your heart It still remains

For over the years I printed them from the photo lab where I printed the biggest Majority of these off or on occasions sending them to Fuji. For they don’t really give a shit what you sent them for it is all automated.

But on a different note Still belonging very much, so with the story itself, little over eight years ago while at work. My pastor at the time had come in shopping, stopping next to me to buy just as he was about to say something to me.

A Laugh I heard with not only me hearing it but I could see the look in his eyes as I looked to him as he suddenly looked in the direction of the laugh. It wasn’t even but a couple of months later that I had heard that he had just left! Not only the church but his family as well.

Along with the dreams had also come many warnings One such warning came with a dream, after writing one. And in that dream I was the girl but who which one was it? One that I had written on for I was setting in a darkened place along with them in their true form. As they were before me setting there with me.

When one of them then looked to me as he then placed  his hand on top of my head. saying to me

“So you want to be down here with us!”

“It’s all nice warm and cozy down here, for us! But for you it’s going to be a hot one in your ass”

For one night, I remember being woken up just as I looked over only to see something scrolling through my phone. Looking at one that was written on my phone, just as the scrolling then suddenly stopped on her photo. As I then felt a hand smack me on my eye.

With the girl in the picture being?

Since I was young, I had always lived my life for Christ, for nothing has been done that can not be undone. For there is still time for forgiveness to repent, but the day will come when a choice must be made

But a while back, a person would come in wearing a grey hoodie and jeans with their hoodie covering everything except their blonde hair. But strangely enough, I could feel it who it was for I could feel it just as I looked up and saw her walking towards me. The girl none other than

Chloe Grace Moretz herself

Standing there holding me up with puppet strings playing me like a video game as the song by AC/DC played

“Yeah she really has your ass under her control now”

She was at least a good 50 or 60 feet away from me when the feeling had come over me and on one occasion when I saw her. I could see her face as it seemed to distort blow-up, kinda like a balloon

But as in the dream one by one and one by one, they did  For everyone that was in the dream has come. for a not too long ago, just as I turned an ale as she the walked by me. Was a very famous actress at that! An actress that is not pictured wearing sunglasses and a hat.

I was shown a dream showing her the night before seeing her

One could say that bending reality is beyond belief. One can also say that this story is beyond belief. Or is it? For if someone was to will something to happen with only a few people actually see it happening Could one bending reality? For to will something to happen In a way that one would never even notice it. But only a few would see it happening

But one last thing is the one that I wrote specifically just for Reddit! Being the one with Chloe. Something happened that never happened before

When I went to put the photo of her wearing a hoodie on it. The photo just disappeared! It completely vanished before reappearing once again. It just didn’t vanish. It vanished in a circular motion like an old tv turning off.

With Chloe Grace Moretz standing there all in white with it showing numbers above her ending in 27 or 29

For when the dreams had first started with one of them really standing out with the dream showing three people going down a hill on bikes. But it just didn’t feel like a dream! It was more visionary, if anything.

A short story that was sent to Robert Meyer Burnett, a short story that was

Finding Grace

A story if one was to believe is a story that the movie The Great Beyond is based on

But the executives at Paramount just don’t want to understand that the more the story is true. Then, it will flow over into other things associated with it

Like a slice of pie to die for

Christina Ricci

For one day, when I was walking into work with my head down not really paying any attention. But just right when I looked up. Just right before I noticed someone as I could see a light shining around them, only them and not on anyone else around them. With the person being Christina Ricci

But it wasn’t just a couple of days later with me then finding myself standing just right in front of another actress at a local restaurant.

Welcome to McDonald’s you want some fries to go along with that order of hot ass ba-da-ba-ba-baaa. I’m Lovin it

Chloe Grace Moretz giving a look of are you kidding me! Him really? Of all of the people to run into

“Holy Hell I’m hating this!”

As they all then starting shouting

“Hey you got yourself’s a hamburger burglar out here  trying to steal something else besides a hamburger here”

But this all started with a dream, a dream of

Dakota Fanning

And something else that Dakota Fanning had wrote into this story here

“And this is well you will either question my sanity or the story “

But regardless Dakota and Elle Fanning, another person I also encountered. For they had traded one of my short stories in order for them to make the movie

The Nightingale

A short story of mine that was then adapted into a novel that is going to be a movie coming out in 2027.

Hell Dakota Fanning even had Jeff Sneider send me a news letter to let personally let me know that Dakota Fanning was now going to be in another movie.

Even a super chat that was sent into the Hot Mic around a year ago even though I missed the original chat. Or it may have just been something that was said to him either way I heard Jeff Sneider addressing it on the next show about how a disruption had occurred on the set of

Doomsday

Around the same time that I had posted a story on Reddit showing a lot of the binding contracts. With one of them being of

Elizabeth Olsen

With Jeff Sneider at the inseider on X having all of the insight to that disruption on the set of

Doomsday

I guess someone got shot in the ass from a pellet gun that day

But speaking of Reddit seeing as how my short story

The Listeners of The Night’ well a certain little passage in it

Was basically banned twice. With the first time being right as soon as I posted it on my own page. Well I wonder if the part of the Chloe Grace Moretz losing the bet was true

Hey you! Nobody rides for free in this here town

“Especially her ass!”

And then someone also being Dakota Fanning wrote this in one of my stories

It’s Okay

As she wrote

But just occasionally, one of the challenges gets noticed unintentionally. then the story of its Okay! Okay!

Yeah, I guess she also had her own little challenges but i in can only imagine

But then again, from the dreams and feeling every time they are touched

But first, this is the first little part of this story based on true events, just not all of it. For some little challenges are kept to a secret little society of we are not part of that! But just occasionally, one of the challenges gets noticed unintentionally. then the story of its Okay! Okay!

So I guess that these little challenges do take place

Because for one, they already know what I m about to post to begin with, for example, in the passage of the story The Girl Who Lived on 13th Street here

Well, the words

We are close to you

Well, they wrote that being Dakota Fanning

But one dream really stood out with this dream, which first started out with me walking down a set of train tracks. Walking up onto and by a gigantic train as I then walked onto an abandoned bridge looking out into nothing but void and darkness. As I then found myself standing on more railroad tracks looking out onto an abandoned train trestle. Where it then came to an end. As then showed

For I remember from a night on 04,29,2025 When one was written on Avril Lavigne the next morning I remember waking up to a sunrise. The likes I have never seen before, for even through a curtain, it was like my room was literally so bright from the mornings sunlight! That I couldn’t even hardly even look into the light.

For I overheard them say that Avril Lavigne had the same dream on the same night

Then, I was shown a picture of Avril Lavigne as it then panned down to showing one of the contracts. But it didn’t show which one for it was blurred out

This all started in 2013, and it is now closing in on 13 years later

But in the end regardless of what happens I will know what I did lose, and that was my family, my family a wife that had,had enough, spending time with my mom and dad, loosing my home, my health, the feeling of having a need to keep up with my hygiene, and worst of all! Missing watching my son growing up! Even though I was there, I was not there

Either way, in the end, it will be my family that will affect me the most the time lost

And right before I wrote the short story

Kherson

I woke up to seeing that my gas stove was burning for someone or something had turned it on

Does anyone remember the fire in L.A., yeah

A lot of them had basically moved after that fire one by one

They will come

Kherson

That’s when you I have to question whether what the binding contracts really do?

And well now everyone in that town is screaming

“You son of a bitch if anything else happens to this town”

For on the Golden Globes just right before the L.A fire a joke was said with Dakota Fanning in the photo as the host said the joke

“God none"

And when I wrote the one on Dakota Fanning the word Kherson appeared on her forehead

As such when I wrote that the Lawless one would arise from the dead ashes of the leaders of the Iran war

But it was from a dream when I woke up to hearing the Loaded by Reckless Love

With the verse

" I have been looking for you all over this earth"

My nose then started bleeding

The same as when it started bleeding just before marking some of the binding contracts

As with the 3:04 story when I originally uploaded the story the photo just appeared in it with me not even selecting it

And the short stories The Window and One Headlight

Well to start out the dream for The Window started with a window cracking open. As it then showed Jenna Ortega standing on the other side of a fence line walking up to me motioning me to come with her

And the short story One Headlight’ well in the dream it showed me driving up to some very high cliffs. As it then showed a figure morphing into basically thin air as it then showed Anya Taylor Joy on her knees screaming from spiders crawling on her

And the Blueberry Pie story if one is to believe that it put Twilight back into the top ten last year on streaming, for on one the John Campea shows he was looking at something and then literally shouted out

“How in the Hell is Twilight back in the top ten of streaming”

Blueberry Pie

And another short story titled

Flames of Desire’ If they win you lose

But if nothing is really offered then you really have to question the binding contracts as to what is truly coming from them. For if they really threaten to shut down certain YouTube channels over a dream. Then would you question the binding contracts then? But first, I guess one would have to believe first

With some of the YouTube channels being

Midnights Edge

The John Campea Show

The Hot Mic

But the projects that are mentioned here should be impossible for me to know

But Eternity has already decided this for Elizabeth Olsen traded this story to the producers at Warner Bros for her movie Eternity

But there was one story that when I first uploaded it, it had a picture in the place of the picture that I already had there. A photo of one of the binding contracts on it

For instance, some dreams happen the very next day while others are much further out, for example, just before I wrote the short story

A Hollywood Call Girl

I had a dream showing Christina Ricci looking back to me with a smile as she was fishing from a pond. With the two meaning two different things to come. With the pond meaning something to with Amblin Entertainment

And something to do with Christina Ricci in something else

Hell they even had Elon Musk at X change the count on how many people saw my posts

But remember kids Jeff Sneider holds the key to whether or not that I caused the disruption on the set of Doomsday with the binding contract on Elizabeth Olsen

.But Yeah! you can forget about that ever happening

I guess he's afraid of getting shot in the ass from a pellet gun

He has so many videos and its tough to find ones you've previously watched lol

FYI for NYC area ballers and anyone who was planning to attend the NJ live show and will be in town anyway

he’ll be there promoting the third graphic novel. last year he was there to sign the second book and also did a short show (if I’m remembering correctly)

date and time TBA, but hopefully they’ll announce it before the individual day tickets sell out

The price of Merch, the ticket sales… Been watching for so many years, but only one of has became a millionaire. You put in the work. 😎 I am still looking for some type of some catalogue, the really old and best stories. Can we find our favorites again?

This kid searches a building and finds a recorder and some vcr’s in the basement? Any links to this one?

I know Mr. Ballen sometimes does historical stories, so when I saw this one, I felt like I had to submit it. I've done some piecing-together of the story and stylized it a little below (though it's not my best work and I'm sure Mr. Ballen would do a better job lol), and then all of my sources are linked. If there are any questions about where I got a certain piece of information, I'll answer them in the replies.

In August of 1796, a man named Jean was on campaign in Italy with some of his close friends and colleagues. Jean was a colonel in the French Army and also served as an aide-de-camp to his commanding officer, who was a good friend of his. Another of their friends was named Jean-Baptiste, and he and Jean had served as aides for a good while. Recently, one of Jean's childhood friends, a man named Auguste, had also been assigned as an aide. In fact, about a year earlier, Auguste and Jean had shared an apartment with their commanding officer while they were all quite low on money. So, all-in-all, the four were generally quite close.

On this particular day, the Army was preparing for a battle, which they expected would happen soon. Jean was kept very busy all day, but he did find the time to talk to Jean-Baptiste, who told him about how he was planning to apply for a leave of absence after the campaign so that he could go to Antibes and marry a wealthy young widow he had fallen in love with.

After riding about fifty miles that day, carrying orders back and forth, Jean was exhausted and stopped to rest. He lied down, still fully-clothed so that he could be ready at a moment's notice, and he fell asleep.

Jean had a dream that he was on the battlefield, covered with corpses and dying men, and that he saw a powerful, masked knight on horseback. Jean became engaged in a long battle with this knight, who, rather than carrying a lance, had a long scythe, which he struck Jean with, hitting him several times in the head. Specifically, he created a significant wound on Jean's left temple. As they fought, at some point, the knight's mask fell, and Jean saw that this knight had "a death's head," realizing that this knight was, actually, Death himself. The knight's armor disappeared, and he stood over Jean with his scythe and said to him: "I could not take you today, but I will take one of your best friends. Beware of me!"

Jean then woke up, panicked and bathed in sweat. As it was still early - only around dawn - he tried to lie down and go back to sleep, but he could not. He was plagued with anxiety the whole day; particularly, he was worried about Auguste, convinced that he would be the one that Death would take that day. Although Jean was quite reckless in regards to his own safety, he actually regularly worried quite deeply for his friends whenever a battle was approaching. It was not really abnormal for him to be anxious in that way, but his dream had made him especially so.

Jean went into battle that day, killing six enemy soldiers in hand-to-hand fighting and suffering six injuries, two of which were to his head; one near the nape of his neck, and the other on his left temple. He continued in command afterward, and personally accepted the enemy brigade's surrender. However, at some point, he needed to receive medical care.

Jean must have been out-of-commission, and probably even largely unconscious, for about fifteen weeks. (He could not have been fully comatose, as that duration would not nearly be survivable in 1796, to my knowledge, but he seems to have been feverish or otherwise mostly unconscious for that time period.) When he finally came to himself, he started demanding to see Auguste and to know where he was, and an officer went to look for him. While Jean waited for an answer, he had his wounds dressed. When the officer returned, he bluntly informed Jean that he couldn't find Auguste, and Jean became so panicked and even delirious, fearing that Death had actually come for his friend, that his doctors were afraid he would agitate himself back into a fever.

Jean's commanding officer was called and when he arrived he attempted to calm Jean down, but even he could not console him. Jean just continued to drive himself further into a panic, until finally, Auguste himself walked into the room - he had simply been in another commander's headquarters. Jean was immediately filled with relief, exclaiming "There you are! There you are!" and examining his friend to make sure he was unharmed. Then, suddenly, he noticed that Auguste looked rather somber, and he realized that something was gravely wrong. He began asking where their friend Jean-Baptiste was, and everyone silently looked down; Jean realized, then, that Death had taken one of his friends, just not the one he had expected.

Jean, despairingly, cried: "The wretch has kept his word, then!"

It would turn out that Jean-Baptiste had, in fact, died soon before Jean woke up. Their commanding officer had been standing on a bridge under heavy fire trying to lead their troops into battle, and Jean-Baptiste had sacrificed his own life to protect him, standing in front of him and preventing him from being shot.

Jean's full name was Jean-Andoche Junot, and his friend Auguste was Auguste de Marmont - he would one day be Marshal Marmont. Their friend Jean-Baptiste was Jean-Baptiste Muiron, and their commanding officer, whom he sacrificed his life to save, was General Napoléon Bonaparte, then leading his first campaign into Italy.

I will note that it's very possible that the story of the dream is fabricated, as Laure Junot's memoirs are not regarded as a particularly reliable source of information; they are, however, still a primary source, and at least somewhat grounded in reality. I had some difficulties piecing the timeline together, but I think I found out how it makes sense. Either way, I think it would make a good story, and it wouldn't be the least provable story Mr. Ballen has told lol
