MrBallen Podcast: Strange, Dark & Mysterious Stories

In early spring of 2010, a 9-year-old boy living in Canada walked out of his school expecting to see someone from his family waiting outside in a car to drive him home. However, there was no one there. After waiting for several more minutes, and still no one showing up, the boy decided his family must have just forgotten about him, and so he decided he would just walk home. A little while later, this boy arrived home and saw cars in the driveway, which to him seemed to confirm that, yes, his family had just forgotten about him. And so he hustled up the steps thinking as soon as he got inside when his family saw him, he would get a hearty apology. But when the boy actually stepped inside of his house and saw his family, they didn't even look at him. They didn't talk to him, they didn't speak to him, they didn't interact with him at all. And at first, the boy was just confused – staring – but then he realized what was going on. Horrified, he turned and ran.

Pitch Pine Crescent (PODCAST EXCLUSIVE EPISODE)

In 1979, at a hospital in Alabama, a neurologist hustled down the hallway and turned left into a particular room. Inside was a female patient, she was lying on her back on a bed, with her legs propped up on pillows. Before she could ask the doctor anything, he just said, "Show me your hands." Puzzled, the woman did as she was told. The neurologist lifted them both up to his eyes so he could really examine them closely. And then he saw it. Instantly, he dropped her hands and rushed out of the room.

The Obsession

In 2015, Clyde, Ohio was one of the safest places to live in the entire United States. Basically, violent crime never happened there. So, on April 10th of that year; when a resident was reported missing in the morning, and then their car was spotted just a few hours later in an apartment parking lot... before the police even drove out to the vehicle, they already knew that they would find this missing person either sleeping in their car or maybe visiting one of their friends in the nearby apartments. However, they would be very wrong. And to this day, the contents of that missing person's car still haunt Clyde, Ohio.
