Where are the lost souls of Eilean Mor?

It seems like a straight forward case, until they discover the log book and then everything changes...

If I die in an unsolved mystery I want MrBallen to cover it

[vonbook]

The craziest plot twist in this video? The fact that Mr. Ballen's NOT wearing a plaid shirt! 😮😮😮

Kind of weird watching this one after watching all his newer vids from the last few months-no flannel, no torturing the like button, no "strange, dark, and mysterious" intro. But clearly he's always been a great story teller, this one is just as good as the newer ones!

[dabzprincess]

I can't believe the difference between 2 years ago the videos that you did to today the ones you do now. I love these old videos I like them better call me crazy call me what you want but I love when you first started out it's so raw it's refreshing. And being the fact that you're so natural and took this channel to where it is inside of 2 years is mind blowing and phenomenal.

"This all looks irregular, we'll stay here where its safe, you go up alone and check everything's ok"

That right there, is how you captain.

I am Scottish, live in Scotland as well. I have spoken to many fisherman and they have told me many stories of weird paranormal activity out in the seas around Scotland. One told me that he and his crew couldn't sleep due to voices being heard from the seas at night. Another one said they had seen a ship that looked like it was from the 1700s sail by their fishing boat.These are extremely tough men keep in mind, but when they told me these things, they were frightened. They were nervous just speaking of it. Scotland is a center for the supernatural

[nwismheuwikall]

I swear you are actually the best story teller. Usually when people would ask I would say my dad. But nothing compares to the effort and detail you put in to your videos. Thank you for entertaining me and others during covid-19 keep up the good work

I had a friend many years ago who would come into my tavern after a day skydiving at a nearby airport in upstate NY. He would always come with a group of friends. Dana was a flight attendant, I believe with TWA. Handsome young man about twenty three years old. One day he was skydiving and his chute did not open. As he got closer and closer to the ground he frantically attempted to fix it and fix it he did, at the last moment. Unfortunately he was still injured quite badly and spent several weeks in the hospital. Still, he cheated death and that was a good thing. Once back to normal he decided to fly out to Hawaii with some friends and tour the islands. He and the others were driving along the coast when he asked them to stop so he could run down to the shoreline and take a photo. While he was standing there getting his camera ready, (no cell phones in those days) an enormous wave came out of nowhere and washed him out to sea. His body was never found. True story. This story made me think of Dana's experience, and so I thought I would share it.

It was obviously the sheep... they were on the island, they had motive and opportunity. Seems open/shut to me...

When they sent that one guy to check the island by himself, I was thinking “And this is how all horror movies start... the classic let’s split up gang.” I would have been having a nervous break down if they made me do that

[jacquelinekalich]

My grandparents lived there after this. My grandfather was advised not to, because of this. They went anyway and were fine. My father, grandfather, and greatgrandfather were all lightkeepers.

I lived through hurricane Maria in September 2017 in Puerto Rico. All I can say is when water is mixed with high winds your mind plays tricks on you. I could hear my moms voice through the water and winds calling my name mind you she had passed with cancer the year before. So I can vouch for many people who are in storms hearing voices and believing they are real. It’s hard to keep your sanity.

I love how he has changed the background to suit the story keep doing that it's great :)

[kathleenhughes]

I'm from Scotland and I've heard this story loads of times but you included details I've never heard before! Brilliant research and story telling :)

[Josephpirro]

There are rare times when high altitude air currents shift downward and actually smash into the ground. The jet stream may have sent winds crashing into the island. The reason it would have been so clear is because those upper atmosphere winds could have been clearing out any fog that would normally surround the area. In my mind I see two of the men eating a meal when the third man who is outside in relatively good weather after the anomaly subsided working without his raincoat. As the wind suddenly comes crashing down from the jet stream again in one last episode blasting the island: they can hear him screaming and the decide they have to go out to try to help him. They put on their coats and rush out but the winds are so powerful all 3 are swept away and end up drowning. This is just what my imagination comes up with when I imagine what happened to these men and I don't have any real evidence, but I feel like I can see it happening vividly in my mind

I'm from Scotland and we covered this story in high school. There was apparently 3 bigger than normal Ravens perched on that buckled railing and they raised their wings at Joseph in sync but did not flap them or fly away but were not there when he left the lighthouse to go back down to the dock. Storms were not in the story and neither was the log book. There was a table set for 3 with food on the table seemingly fresh, 1 chair was toppled over. Could all be speculation but thats what i learnt of it. Absolutely addicted to this channel! Love all these mysterious stories. I have a few scottish stories that I think you will cover well... The grey man of Ben Macdui, The drummer of Courtachy (my dad lived there and experienced it, ) a house where bad things always happened and when the person in the house dies usually in a horrible accident, that night you hear a drummer in the forest circling the property. hope that is some more fun for you and consequently, us! keep up the great work!

Mr.Ballen will make the world's best grandpa one day.

[tracybrown]

Imagine watching ppl crawl around the church I'd feel so creeped out I'd start praying too!

[barbaraheed]

I so much look forward to your stories . Thanks. You are a pretty good story teller also. I'm 62 yrs old and when I was a girl my dad would tell me mysterious stories and my eyes would stay glued to he while he was talking. You also have that ability. So thanks not only for the story but for reminding me of a great time in my life with my daddy. ✌

Ive seen other people comment about how they are somehow related to a story and it's weird to hear it on this channel they watch, and now I know the feeling because I live in the isles and we all know the story of the lighthouse keepers very well and yet its still interesting to hear it told with so much detail here. And when it's clear we all point out 'you can see the Flannan Isles today'.
