This abandoned mine footage will make your SKIN CRAWL

A ghost at 4:21

Frank: sees chain swinging in cave (he though he was alone in frank leaves Be more like frank

I didn't even leap to "GHOST!" when I watched the video. He saw footprints at the entrance. For me, my first thought on seeing that chain swinging was "There's someone else in the mine." A person is way more threatening than a ghost and even more concerning when said person is apparently living in an old abandoned mine.

I just appreciate that Frank saw something out of place in this strange, dark, isolated location and immediately decided he wanted none of it. This was the safest way he could have wound up in a Mr. Ballen video 😂

If he saw footprints, there very well could have been someone living or, at least, hiding in the mine. The swinging chain may not have started swinging right when the light shined on it, the person having moved away before Frank looked that way, but the inertia of the chain persisted. It's not the only chain swinging, either; there is one even closer to Frank. I genuinely think there was someone else in that cave and they did not want Frank to stumble upon them. It's honestly scarier than any "ghost" in my mind. I don't particularly want to meet the kind of person who skulks in an abandoned mine.

I don't think he's lying. I think he was genuinely shocked and spooked by that chain swinging. The big teller for me is, he went quiet. Completely quiet. Throughout the video he says nothing about ghosts or haunting or anything. He's not even creeped out by the weird entrance. And then even when he does get spooked, he doesn't make a sound. Just makes the statement "I don't know why that chain is swinging" and then turns the camera off and books it. No other comment, nothing. I honestly think that kind of thing is pretty geniune.

“I don’t like how that chain is swinging” turns around and leaves this dude is a genius Edit: I feel that it’s necessary to point out that it might not be anything paranormal. It could be something as simple as a small animal or even someone who was with frank. The point of the matter is that this guy would survive in the plot of a horror movie.

His reaction was very genuine. He didn't hype anything up prior, and aside from a matter-of-fact statement and a quick exit, he barely reacted to the incident itself

That swinging chain would terrify me but not because of fear of the paranormal. Nevada is one of the most seismically active states. I feel certain movement of the earth caused the chain to move. One hundred feet into an abandoned mine during an earthquake?? Truly horrifying. I'm glad Frank experienced nothing worse than a chain moving.

Ghost: * Swings chain to attract Frank deeper into the mine * Frank: * Leaves * Ghost: Wait, that's illegal!

Frank has a passion for exploring abandoned mines Despite this, he knows his limits and is always cautious enough to leave when something is amiss Frank is smart. Be like Frank.

I think after you experience a paranormal event, it changes how you perceive things especially if you're out exploring mines.

This feels so much more explainable as someone else being in the cave with him especially since he saw footprints on his way in

The good news for Frank was that he was really close to the entrance when he saw the swinging chain(s). Imagine being a mile in and 500 feet down, alone in the dark and seeing that!

I know this is kinda weird but I appreciate it when he puts real photos and even converts the feet into meters

multiple logical conclusions to pick from: 1: the chains are hanging from some kind of frame that's become twisted and thus the twisted segment would move more than other places. (supporting evidence: nearby chains are swinging too but farther away they're not) 2: hills have eyes, he was almost eaten and a cannibal missed a meal. (he saw footprints) 3: Bat. They fly and hit things. Bats. (they're usually in a cave and they look bitchin with chains)

I love how it was supposed to skin crawling scary but was just a swinging chain.

I would be less afraid of a ghost swinging that chain and more afraid of a psychopath with a rusty knife getting THAT close to me without me knowing. Ghosts aren’t scary. Sociopaths who hang out in abandoned mines are terrifying. The knowledge that someone is in there with him and he doesn’t know who they are or why they’ve concealed themselves is brilliantly dreadful.

Ghost waves chain. Frank leaves immediately. Ghost: "He... he didn't wave back..." 🥺💔

I love your storytelling. Taking a chance on letting everyone know how old I am, when I was a kid, the only entertainment we had was radio. There were several scary shows like Lights Out and The Shadow Knows that we would listen to. No video, no TV, no movies… Just storytelling. It was great and your stories take me back to those times. I don’t even need to watch your videos to enjoy the stories.
