Top 3 places you CAN'T GO & people who went anyways... | Part 25

16:59 thumbs up

When he said John was “incredibly friendly and warm hearted and got along with everyone”….I knew he was doomed.

Hearing that a grown woman passed away of heatstroke in 4 hours is a sobering reminder to never leave your kids or animals in a hot car.

Nothing freaks me out more than getting stuck in a tightly enclosed place with no escape, or a child suddenly stopping and pointing at something silently 💀💀

I can't even imagine how traumatized that elevator operator must have been after experiencing that. The guilt of something that was completely accidental must have been insane. How sad for John and everyone involved. :(

If Mr. Ballen goes missing it was definitely the like button that did it.

The lesson today: stay out of hot vehicles, don't climb down a dinosaur leg, obey signs on gated off areas.

15:00 I worked security at King’s Island in the early 00’s. During our extensive training, we were told of every time someone has died at the park due to accidents/negligence, including John’s story, in gruesome detail as an illustration of just how wrong things can go…part of the story you left out was that his body was partially ripped apart by the mechanics and came “raining” down to the ground. Before the friend group officially found out it was him, a bloody piece of his red flannel shirt was found down below and was identified by the girlfriend I believe. It was very sad. There are at least 4 other INSANE deaths from King’s Island that I hope Mr. Ballen will one day cover (including a death on Flight Commander, 2 deaths at the Viking ship lake by electrocution, and a death by lion….oh the stories I could tell of that place!) 🦁⚡️⚡️

I really like it that MrBallen doesn’t flood his videos with a whole bunch of nonsense photos, and that he tells you if the photo is related to the actual case. Plenty of YouTubers have complete slideshows of stockphotos and then you have to kind of guess if any of those actually show the subjects/objects/places of the story.

I love “the places you can’t go and people who went anyways” It gives me reassurance that staying inside watching Youtube is a good thing

Next time your phone falls into a perilous place, just ask yourself, "Is my phone really worth dying for, or can I get a new one fairly easily?"

I can’t imagine how terrifying it would be to die cold, alone, stuck in the same position while being somewhere semi/public around people daily.

You can tell things are about to get real whenever he goes, "to fully understand what happened next..."

Who else, like me, has literally never found the secret in any of the videos because you're always too engrossed in the stories?!

I just like that there’s no gimmicks on this channel. No politics, no clickbait, just murder, mayhem and the missing (in story format)

The man in the dinosaur has to be one of the most horrible ways to die, there was a local news story about a boy who was missing a couple years ago, when they found him they realized that he had tried to get into a abandoned house by going down the chimney head first, at first it was a easy go, however it narrowed towards the bottom where he got stuck, I didn't know the boy but his story really bothered me for quite some time

I knew I was a fan of the strange dark and mysterious but until this channel, I didn't know I also liked it in story format. Guess you learn everyday 😆

Imagine being the guy on the elevator car and hearing a “thud” and then blood just pouring over the sides…..

All three stories had me like “but why”.

For the life of me I cannot think of what in the world that policeman's wife would have been looking for in the backseat and why in the world would ANYTHING of her's even be back there.
