Little do the people of the town knew that Keith was alive and well. He had relocated to another little town in the country where he started writing novels. He kept wearing flannel shirts every day but after a while he got tired of writing so he changed his style to write about the strange dark and mysterious in story format.

[puffs]

I just felt really bad for Keith's wife and kids, that must have been so hard to just accept. Very strange, dark, and mysterious, indeed.

[sergelorenzvillasica]

One thing I've learned from MrBallen over the years is that, whenever you find yourself wandering into a forest. NEVER GO TO ANY CLEARING.

[hooligansteriotype]

I really love that when you talk about couples making decisions together, you use words like "blessing" instead of permission. it speaks volumes about couples making decisions together not having to babysit each other! ❤

[Euphonious.]

Watching mr ballen is the best part of my entire week.

[martinrowley]

I have a suspicion that Ted was the one to murder both Tom and Keith. He was the last one to see Keith alive. They found no trace of him on or near the mountain where he supposedly told Ted he was going to go. I think that's because he never went there that evening. My theory is that Ted was worried Keith was getting close to discovering what really happened to Tom and his dog so he made him disappear, then edited the ending to his story.

[B-Lynn]

Thank you mr Ballen for hearing our cries and making this episode longer….we love you!

[stephaniesolorzano]

I live in Colorado and I looked up this story. Looks like his family is making a documentary called, Dark Side of the Mountain. It’s in post production. I’ll be on the lookout for when it’s released. What a fascinating story 😢

[Kingzifys]

Your storytelling only gets better and better, i've been watching since 2020 and even then the storytelling was 10/10.

[barbaramcmillen]

No matter how many other storytellers I listen to, I always find myself looking forward to your next post. No one can "hold a candle" to you. You make a difficult day much better. Thank you.

[robinnginja]

I love how Mr. Ballen created such a loving, happy and supportive fanbase, even though his stories are dark and mysterious

[johnmcelroy]

During his research into Tom, Keith figured out that his friend Ted had killed Tom. So Ted also killed Keith to cover his tracks. Which is why Keith and Ted's last conversation didn't make any sense. Ted actually wrote the ending to Keith's book to strengthen his story about Keith's disappearance, making sure to have other witnesses to the supposed discovery of the ending to the book.

[renzocheesman]

Mr Ballen has become a subculture and his videos have become a basic necessity. I hope he never stops making videos

[mackenziewarnick]

This story is so wild, it’s crazy that it’s real life and not fiction. Really makes you wonder what truly happened to all of them up there in those mountains. RIP to all who mysteriously lost their lives. Hopefully one day we can get some answers.

[thelizardhedd]

I can’t really describe the excitement I get when I open YT and see a new MB vid. It’s kinda like Christmas morning, only a lot more strange, dark and unusual.

[HollyHobbieHobbit]

Ted killed the Tom and his dog and Keith found out so he killed him too...and then he wrote the ending to Keith's book and called attention to it so everyone would assume Keith wandered off on his own

[Thescott]

Possibly the first MrBallen story where someone got scared on a trail and they actually went back instead of keeping going...

[davewade]

I think Ted killed Keith, Tom, and his dog. Ted is the link that binds all the players. He easily could've written that ending for him to "find" later pointing to suicide. It was Ted who convinced Keith to come to town and to write out of Tom's store. The first thing Ted did when Keith arrived was show him the trail that ultimately led to Tom's body. So based on this video, Ted is my number one suspect.

[janetlunn]

I love listening to him draw out a story from the void. It’s like listening to an old man talk about how every blade of grass was feeling and what colour socks he wore and the history of every house on the street just to tell you about that time he had a really good vanilla ice cream cone. The level of detail - made up or loosely based in reality - really puts you inside the characters head. He shares every thought, gesture and word spoken leading up to the event. It’s like experiencing it in real time.

You know who else is wearing a heavy flannel shirt, likes stories and slowly spiralling into madness?
