You should have put sneak peak or just a few minutes of the story. This was advertised as a full story just to up your foot traffic, how lame.

HOLY CRAP! I REMEMBER hearing this story before but it was on Mr. Nightmare's channel, I think. And it was from the perspective of a friend of the couple's daughter. Freaky, man!

The reason Mr Ballen has 8m subs is because of his genius in TELLING stories, as if he’s sitting in your living room, telling you personally. More often now he’s reading other people’s scripts and I miss when he tells stories like this.

Using flashlights in the forest at nights means you are seen first. It's best to allow your eyes to adjust and use your ears or use night vision.

@Jeremy-ql1or Месяц назад

@@SassaFrass28 That is definitely not true at all. While animals and accidents might be a danger in remote areas, you are let likely to have trouble with any humans there than anywhere else. And that is not just because there are less humans to cause trouble but because the humans out there are much less likely to be the kind of person to cause trouble. The kind of people who attack random people are disturbed individuals who would not have the resources and intellect to be able to survive in those remote areas.
