US Marine HUNTED by unidentified creature | The Jeff Boiler story 

I truly believe it was not a bigfoot. It was something much more terrifying and real. I believe he may have encountered my mother-in-law. She is a beast.

The best way to not run into Bigfoot is to grab a camera and film a show on capturing Bigfoot. Those guys never see anything.

cant believe bro sat us down for 16 minutes and told a story with bigfoot behind him. true legend

Roughly six years ago I used to spend hours on end with a really good friend watching your videos. We both really enjoyed spending our time listening to your story telling. My dear friend left earth roughly a year ago and watching your videos is one of my favorite ways of remembering her. Thank you for helping me carry on her memory!!

I am a 73 year old woman, and after watching a few of your videos, I have never been so happy to be sitting in my little house with my two cats!

When the insects stop making noise, then you know youre not alone

I'm an 85 year old woman, and I can't sleep without putting on your show. I toss and turn if I don't listen before bed. l used to read and that would put me right to sleep. I discovered your channel about a year ago, and my habit quickly changed. I put the show on, and within minutes I fall fast asleep. Thank you so much 🙏

Your hand gestures are the best thing about your true stories brother, they are vital to explaining everything in the proper way.

“At first he’s not scared, he thinks it’s a human.” I would almost be more scared of a random person creeping behind a tree

I'm open minded about it. My dad swore, till his dying day, that he saw a Bigfoot in Michigan's UP. Early 1980s, just out deer hunting during archery season, he saw it and never hunted in the UP again. He never told that story to anyone outside the family. Even then they gave him a lot of shit about it. But he never changed the story. He would talk about it now and then, but never ever where anyone not related could catch a whisper of it. Remembering that far away look in his eyes when he'd retell it, I've stayed open to it.

Just a theory, but what if the sound of the trees falling around him were the creature jumping from treetop to treetop? Reasons for this thinking: 1) He couldn't see it, but it could keep an eye on him to get him down the mountain. 2) The creature is very large, and if it was jumping from tree to tree, the trees would, probably, come crashing down afterward. 3) The deer he saw looked behind him and up, meaning it could've been in the tops of the trees or something similar. 4) If there were, at least, 2 of them, on either side of him, them jumping from tree to tree would cause the succession of the trees falling on both sides of him as they herded him down the mountain to keep him out of their territory.

Who here has been really glad Mr Ballen started doing RU-vid just in time to help us spend our days during the Coronavirus?

When a marine and a police officer struggles to get his gun out of holster you know shits serious.

I saw this on Paranormal Witness and it was truly frightening. He told a very compelling story. My heart was racing the entire time. I don't scare easily either. Thanks for giving it justice, Mr. Ballen.

Experienced outdoorsman, police officer,The real deal... forgets flashlight..

He was *not* being hunted. He was being herded. They wanted him gone. If they were hunting him he would have his own chapter in a David Paulides book.

Who gets pissed when people start talking to you while watching these videos?....I am like...WHAT? WHAT DO YOU NEED? I AM BUSY!

Your hand gestures are huge in helping your hearing impaired veterans understand. I appreciate you!

The craziest part of this story that no one has mentioned in the comments is - Do you know how strong something has to be to casually knock over trees as it's running after you? That's stronger than a Gorilla. Sasquatch are absolutely terrifying.

Sounds like they were politely escorting a trespasser out of their territory.

I’m a 79 year old woman who is enthralled by your storytelling. Instead of reading so many books, like I used to do, every night I enjoy listening to several of your videos, one after another. You are truly gifted, and I love the strange, dark and mysterious. I wish you much, much success. Thank you for your storytelling and thank you also for your service. My father and both of my husbands also served in the U.S. Navy.

Stumbled across your channel a couple days ago and boy am I glad I did! Here in Australia we have the Yowi, which is essentially Big Foot, but with a few small differences. My dad has a story he was told by a big burly truck driver about an encounter he had with a Yowi that just gives me goosebumps every time. I love the mysteries of the world and part of me hopes they never get solved!

The way you tell these stories, truly captures and holds attention.

I can honestly listen to this guy fir hours telling stories. Absolutely addicted to this channel

I picture a bigfoot walking with his kid. "See that's how you get them out of our area." "Wow dad, that was cool."

I'm retired military, and I believe that Bigfoot certainly exists in our world. That dude was very lucky he survived.

I lived on a farm in the rural area of South Dakota. We had a cheyetonka always peeking in the windows and making yelling sounds. We had to use an outhouse so we had to go with another sibling for safety. He is real. I saw his face one night in our bedroom window

That Bigfoot later was telling his tribe about scaring this guy, and they all laughed, as they ate their freshly killed deer.

Maybe he was'nt being hunted, maybe he was being herded out of the forest and back towards his car? If bigfoot wanted him dead, he'd be dead,imo

I love John's storytelling. When he is describing this man running and falling down this mountain, while behind him he's hearing trees crashing to the ground landing closer and CLOSER, I felt as though this creature was actually behind ME!!

That's the thing, what does anyone have to gain by making such a claim on a level that could ruin a reputation or cause endless scrutiny of them and the experience? I have never seen anything like this but have heard things that I could not make sense of. Great story here

MrBallen's Wife: Ok kids, time for bed! MrBallen: Wanna hear a bedtime story? Kids: *Nope!*

The mark of an open mind is to be able to entertain an idea without necessarily accepting it.

I believe in big foot. Because, I've seen such things in my home village. I'm from Papua New Guinea in the Pacific. We normally don't have big foot, but we surely have giants the same height and stature as big foot. They are not hairy, and also have small heads and big muscles.But how Americans tell their stories of the behavior of the sasquatch, is exactly similar to our giants. Our furless giants wear leaves as clothing. We know their habitats so we don't wander into their territory. Long ago, our elders put up signs or grow a type of tree to mark the no go zones when hunting in the jungle, your park rangers should do the same, so that no one gets hurt. The Bigfoots that you see are actually their border patrol soldiers, looking after their borders. They have a whole community hidden deep in the forest. So when you cross their borders, they'll try to scare you off, and escort you out of their territory. Mind you, if they want you dead, you'll be dead. Just a suggestion to our hikers and hunters.Love your videos.👍👊💯

Of all the stories I've heard of big foot. They are always just curious. That is until a weapon is pulled and or pointed at them. That pisses them off. I don't think the Marine in this story was being hunted. But he was definitely being herded in the proper direction of his car to get out of there.

Your hand gestures aren't distracting, they add to your "acting out" the story. Wonderful!

Wouldn't it be hilarious if we later discover that Big Foot is real, they live in tribes, and one of their favorite sports is scaring the bejeezus out of human hikers?

You're the best storyteller on RU-vid. From the way you explain it and really get into the story is amazing! I use to read a lot but since I've found your channel... I binge watch you instead of reading ... Awesome job brother and THANK YOU for your services!!!

MrBallen . First and foremost, thank you for your service. You are definitely a very engaging story teller, 7.6 Million Subscribers can't be wrong. My brother was telling me about some of the atrocities in Iraq and Syria and I began binging on his videos and his "no bullcrap", tell it as it is stories. Keep up the great work. Thank you again.

"Gently disembowel" is NOT a phrase I ever expected to hear. Lol!

He wasn't being hunted, he was being chased out of something else's territory.

I am completely open to the idea of Sasquatch. Some of these stories are fantastic, but definitely within the realm of possibility. The film from which MR BALLEN gets his background has always fascinated me. A costume of the type necessary for the creature in that film, was not possible to make in 1967.

Hi , love watching your uploads , so authentic with your band gestures ,you tell a story with hot hands , absolutely brilliant!!

When you're in the deep woods, you're part of the food chain... And not at the top...

I was raised in TN. When I was 8 years old, my Mother, Uncle and I were driving home. We came down a hill and around a curve. There in the road stood two creatures. They looked over their shoulders at us. Their eyes were red in the headlights. They turned and started to run. My Uncle sped up. It was like Slow Motion to me! You could see the bottoms of their feet and the dust that came up with each step! Their hair flowed almost like a horse's mane! Up and down on their bodies. There was NO odor! They were glossy, the hair wasn't matted. This chase didn't last long! The road split. One went up a small hill, towards our house and the other went towards the old Dawn Cemetery. The bottom road, towards the Cemetery, had a bank on it and they went down that road, maybe 20 to 25 feet, and jumped up the bank and were gone into the woods! They had chestnut colored hair. One was larger, and darker than the other one. I have always felt like if I were hypnotized, and had someone who could DRAW what I described, it would be amazing. I'm 70 now. My Mother told my oldest Sister about it. She's 77. I don't really care if anyone believes me. GOD knows what we saw, and we do. I'm okay with that. But it was amazing, and I'll never forget it.

This story is one of my favorites so far, literally gave me the chills.

Props to Mr.Ballen filming with a Bigfoot behind him

In 1989 I was training with Army Special Forces in Cascade Idaho. Myself and a friend were sitting on an outcropping looking across to another mountain ridge. I used a set of binoculars and my friend used a scope on his rifle to watch "something" walking around on another side of the mountain. It was far enough away we could tell it was "humanlike" but not human. It walked upright and seemed to be very large. It did not know we were watching and it lasted about 6 or 7 minutes. I am a believer. It was real.

It was a salesman trying to let him know how he could save up to 40% off of long distance calls.

He is the hand gesture King. And I love it! ❤️❤️❤️

It seems like it would be IMPOSSIBLE for bigfoot to have evaded detection for so long. But if you've ever trained in Ft. Lewis, you'll quickly realize that within 20 minutes of Tacoma, lies wilderness where you wonder if another foot has ever set foot. The 6-10 foot ant mounds to triple canopy. So after having been in that forest, yeah, I do believe something like big foot could evade detection.

After watching your videos when someone says, "I love hiking" I'm like, "okay you're dead"!

Literally spent all day listening to sasquatch "stories" while working. 😆 Great timing!

So true.Who loves Mr.Ballen now in 2024.

One of my favorite Bigfoot stories. As you said, I'm not a fundamental believer, but as someone who majored in physical anthropology, I can't help but say it's possible.

When BigFoot finally reached him, the creature grabbed Jeff by the shoulders and said, "I've been trying to reach you to talk about your car's extended warranty"

I shouldnt be listening to these stories right now. Im in a cabin in the mountains. and the woods. ahhh. but whatever, I'm still gonna enjoy em.

It’s impressive how much better you got! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Love it! Keep it up Ballen!

I'm addicted to this guy now, I fall asleep to his videos and rewatch in the morning if I miss anything

You’re really an amazing storyteller. As an actor I am really impressed with your memory, speaking ability, and feeling you emote when you tell a tale.

This guy here has to be the very best storyteller I've watch tons of videos but he is the best.. this is definitely you're calling

I never noticed the hand gestures until today. I guess thats how incredible his storytelling is.

*ALWAYS* bring a hiking buddy, folks! Something as simple as a sprained ankle can potentially end your life if you're miles away from civilization with nobody to assist you or go for help.

His expressiveness is also what makes the stories so interesting as well . His hand gestures add to it

Your story telling is best. Your focused on the story appreciate that. Im 70...i watch your podcasts too. Yeah im a fan

i’m from oregon and i love hearing stories from my state!! especially from the best story teller 😂 cheers 🍻!

Doesn’t seem like that “big foot” was chasing him, it could had easily grabbed that guy and killed him for sure at any moment if it wanted, but it didn’t. It was clearly showing him the way out of their territory, maybe scaring him away or maybe even thought the guy was lost and thought it was helping him in that way to find a way back to his car.

I recall the moment when I felt big foot could be real. An elephant that had never been known of previously was discovered in SE Asia. If an elephant could remain unnoticed why not Bigfoot?

Mr. Ballen you are one of my favorites. The best storyteller.

I am from Oregon and spent a lot of time in the High Cascades every year hunting Elk. I also grew up in a small rural town on the edge of a cattle ranch and the Cascade Mountains. As a teenager, I had two experiences in the woods that I still remember vividly to this day. I also know a number of people with similar stories to this one.

I can tell your gonna be the next big thing in the paranormal and mystery side of youtube your charisma and storytelling is just unmatched!

I have lived in Oregon since I was 5 years old, now 33. I've never had a Bigfoot encounter but I have been told enough stories I absolutely believe they are out there.

One of my favorite stories you've told.

Great job telling this story.

I make it a rule never to trust a man who buries his friends in the woods.

Your one of the few RU-vidrs I actually watch religiously now!

I love love love your story telling❤

Love the content. Keep it coming!

This story reminded me of what a friend once said to me. "if I ever own a piece of land that people like hiking on, I will add speakers around the area to spice things up." He also thought of adding cameras to record the facial expression

"The deer wasn't running from Jeff...It was running from whatever was _right behind Jeff._ " That single quote is more terrifying than any horror movie made in the last 20 years.

Watched you from the start legend and the fact that you are nearly at 8m subs says a lot about how great your stories are.

Thanks for your service Mr Ballen

Bigfoot just wanted a friend. Bigfoot was probably like “ damn I scared another one, I’m never making friends .”

They tell this same story to raucous laughter at Sasquatch School in "Scaring the hairless uglies 1o1" class.

Very fair analysis. Great storytelling.

I was having trouble fighting back the dreaded "mom guilt" at night...and the pounding heartbeat that came with it. But now, I fall asleep every night listen To Mr. Ballen telling me a story! It keeps my mind from going to that dark place, my heartbeat remains normal, and I can actually fall asleep within 15 minutes, for the first time in about a decade! Thank you for the bedtime stories, Mr. Ballen!

I saw this guy speak of his experience a couple of yrs ago. His story told by him...is why I’m a believer. Very chilling story

Under rated best thing about ballen is that he only puts ads at the end of the video. Just for that consideration, I actually watch ads on his videos.

Having just started bingeing mrballen videos. It's disturbing how many of them come out of Oregon.

I didn't tell my encounter to anyone in about 20 years I got tired of the smirking. I'll share here. I'm 43 and this happened when I was 19 or 20. I live in Central Pennsylvania in a small town surrounded by woods. A few friends and I got some weed and beer and went to an overlook in the woods that was above a big lake. Closest home is maybe 3 or 4 miles away. We were hanging out listening to music and we started to hear what sounded like someone hitting a tree with a bat, but loud similar to a gun shot in the distance. To me it sounded exactly like batting practice in a MLB stadium. Over the next hour the cracks were happening once every few minutes but getting louder and sounding closer until one sounded like it came from the road we came in on. We turned the music off and the girls got back into my vehicle scared. Then another crack right in the tree line about 15 feet in front of us. This scared all of us and we all got into my truck. The girls yelling for me to go and I hesitated but then turned my headlights on and turned onto the road and when my lights shined into the trees we saw this huge shadow. You couldn't see details just a huge black mass. I slammed on the brakes and everyone was screaming and were like did you see that?I backed up and it was gone. The next day a friend that was with me and I went out during the day to look for tracks or something. For miles in the woods the trees were bent as if something walked in between and bent them down. They were bent similar to an ice storm but bent away from each other. No tracks just bent trees. A few days later I biked out to that spot on my mountain bike because I couldn't make sense of it. I made it to the overlook and everything was normal even noticed the trees stood back up so no evidence of the encounter at all. I'm on my way back going down the mountain on the one side of the lake and I heard this commotion in the woods and when I looked this huge maple tree was shaking. This tree was big enough that I couldn't move the tree if I tried. I would say 50 year old tree. I thought is this tree falling?and then a huge dead log comes flying at me from the maple tree. It landed a few feet short, the hair stood up on my body and I took off. When I calmed down I drove out with my gun and looked at the tree. I couldn't move it it was that heavy I'll estimate 600 to 700 pounds because I couldn't even roll it. I never actually saw what it was but I can't think of anything else it could have been.

Deer: *looks behind him* Jeff: *looks behind him* Bigfoot: we’ve been trying to reach you about your cars extended warranty

Great work!

John - The hand gestures are part of your great expressive story telling. I miss this on your podcasts and other channels that I find harder to follow w/o your intense visuals. Please bring back this original format w the great intro music! Thanks John C

Then all of a sudden Jeff boiler heard from the trees, “do you know the way to belles canyon?

I grew up surrounded by mountains, literally. It wasn't chasing him,it was herding him,as soon as you realize you are lost your body language changes,your behaviors change. It was just herding him out of it's territory before nightfall.

Bigfoot. I love ALL of you stories, no matter what they are about! Your true life personal stories are my favorites!

these wilderness, cabin in the woods stories are great

Anyone else abandon their family, friends and responsibilities without hesitation when they see a MrBallen video is posted?
