Teen TERRORIZED by creature in forest

Feeling lonely? Watch these stories in the dark at midnight. You won't feel alone anymore.

So I work in security and anytime I'm working a night shift, when it gets particularly quiet, I start hearing Mr. Ballen in my head narrarating my actions.

Even today, this is still one of the scariest stories I've ever heard. Of all the stories you've told over the last few years, this one still gets my every time.

You telling these stories are more terrifying then anything Hollywood can put on the big screen. Amazing story telling.

If your dog enters battle mode, youd best enter it yourself. Dont rely on your dog to protect you; its expecting you to have its back just as much as you expect it to have yours

True fact: you are not scared of being alone in a forest you are scared of not being alone in a forest

A poignant part of that story for me is when the tapping was occuring the young man said he could feel his dad telling him "just stay right there son. Don't let it in just stay in bed and ihnore it. Don't let it in". I also remember reading that he stayed for the rest of the week and the rest of his time was uneventful. Kid was a great story telling.

I read this years ago when the kid in the story posted on reddit. That young man did a great job writing the original story, also. Ive read it many times but still listening to Ballen's telling.

I once heard very loud tapping on my bedroom window, which is literally less than arms length away from my bed. And in my immediate overthinking panic, I thought it was a person (my room is on the second floor) but we have tinted windows and it was just a fat bird that was fighting its reflection lol

As a wise man once said: No one is afraid of being alone in the dark, but people are afraid of not being alone in the dark

I absolutely love this story, I've listened to it at least a dozen times, and it terrifies me every time. The way it's told, I feel like I'm there, I'm the 17 year old, I love these stories.

Im a 30 yr old man and I've had my own experiences. This terrified me and brought flashbacks..

Nothing is scarier then when a pet sees something scary that you can’t see.

This channel is killing my dreams of living a quiet simple life in a cabin in the bush/woods/forest 1 video at a time.

Isn't it crazy how brave all dogs are!

This story is creepy AF. I felt my heart skip a few beats and I'm just listening to a guy tell someone else's story. Well done

If Ballen himself is scared by a story he’s telling, we’re all screwed.

I think nothing is more scary then when your animal confirms your fear. That’s true terror in its glory

This is EXACTLY why I highly highly advocate to carry weapons while camping and being outdoors... ok and even while you sleep having a piece within arms reach is not a bad idea. Stay strapped folks.

Hi Mr Ballen. I just felt like I should share something with you my name is Esther. I listen to you at work and was listening to some of the stories where people go missing. One of the things I remember my father who was an exorcist, saying is demons live in abandoned places like cabins, empty hotel rooms, houses etc. Remember spirits need warm bodies to dwell in. That could be why people go missing a lot or just lose their minds. Just thought I’d share that with you. For the haters reading this mind your business.
