MrBallen Podcast: Strange, Dark & Mysterious Stories

In the early morning hours of Saturday October 30th 2004, a man walked out of his suburban Virginia home and started walking down his driveway to get the newspaper. As he walked, he enjoyed the cool crisp air against his skin. This was one of the man's favorite times of the day, when just for a few minutes, it felt like he was the only person in the world who was outside; It was like everyone else was still sleeping. But that morning, he was wrong. He wasn't alone. Someone was hiding nearby, watching him, and waiting for the perfect moment to pounce.

The Imposter (PODCAST EXCLUSIVE EPISODE)

In March of 1990, a detective in Florida, who was investigating a missing person case, decided to search for them in a forested area near a busy highway. The area had been searched before, but this detective just had a hunch that something could still be in there. And so he stepped into the thick rows of trees and began walking deeper and deeper into the forest. Eventually he reached a point where it was so thick in front of him, he didn’t know if he could physically get through. But he decided he would just keep on going a little bit further. And after only a few minutes, he reached a clearing, and in the middle of it was something huge.

A Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing

Late one night in November of 1975 a man came home from work and parked his car at the end of his driveway, which looped around the back of his house. After sitting in his seat for a minute, he turned his car off, and then stepped outside into the cold night air. From there, he walked toward the side of his house where there was a path that led around to his front door, but before he could reach his front door, he heard a voice call out to him from somewhere off to his right. The man stopped and stared into the darkness, wondering if he really had just heard a voice at all, but then as he stared, the voice called his name again. Confused, the man walked to the fence at the edge of his property, and looked over it to see who was there. Little did this man know, he had just walked into a trap.

The Ultimate Betrayal (PODCAST EXCLUSIVE EPISODE)

In February of 1985, a couple (a man and a woman) were sitting inside of a car chatting about their relationship, when the woman finally just turned to the man and said, “OK, you have to tell me, it’s now or never.” The man looked at her, and could see she was serious, and so after a long pause, the man sighed and then leaned across the center console of the car, and whispered something into her ear. Little did he know, she was not the only person who could hear him.

The Cindy Problem (PODCAST EXCLUSIVE EPISODE)

In 2008, a teenager was hiking through a forest in California when he decided to stop and set up camp for the night. He walked several hundred feet off the trail into the woods where he found a small clearing in the trees, and set up camp there. A few hours later, the teenager woke up suddenly and thought he heard something moving outside. It was the middle of the night, so it was pitch black outside, and he had no windows on his tent anyways, so he just laid still for a second, and listened. A few moments later he heard the unmistakable sound of footsteps slowly moving toward him.

Trapped

In 1982, a young woman walked up a flight of stairs to her friend’s apartment, and knocked on the door. As she did, she noticed the little window on the door was broken. Worried something was wrong with her friend, the woman knocked again, this time a little louder, while also peering through the broken window to see if she could see anything. There was nothing really to see, but she could hear music playing inside. So after another minute went by and still her friend had not come to the door, the woman tried the door handle and found it was open. With her heart racing, the woman opened her friend’s door and stepped inside. A few seconds later, she would see something so horrible it would send her running back outside to safety.
