Today, I'm going to tell you two very disturbing stories that have been published in different places, they're fairly well-known stories, but in many ways, they've been passed down from generation to generation because of how disturbing they are. It's not entirely clear where the truth ends and the fiction begins, but these stories center around events that actually happened. So, it's up to you – as you hear my rendition of these stories – what to believe. You can WATCH all new & exclusive MrBallen podcast episodes on my YouTube channel, just called "MrBallen" - https://www.youtube.com/c/MrBallenIf you want to reach out to me, contact me on Instagram, Twitter or any other major social media platform, my username on all of them is @mrballen Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

One night in August 1992, a sheriff’s deputy raced down an empty road in a rural part of Tennessee. A local woman had been kidnapped that morning, and right this very second, the kidnapper was making a ransom call. That call had been traced to a payphone just up ahead, and the deputy was racing to get there before the suspect left. The deputy sped up to the curb in front of the phone booth and leapt out of the car – but inside the booth, the phone was dangling on its cord... and the suspect was gone. You can WATCH all new & exclusive MrBallen podcast episodes on my YouTube channel, just called "MrBallen" - https://www.youtube.com/c/MrBallenIf you want to reach out to me, contact me on Instagram, Twitter or any other major social media platform, my username on all of them is @mrballen Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
