Hey listeners, it's Mirabeka and me Jason. Have you ever heard about an experience or case

that unnerved you so much that it stuck with you for years? Well the Mr. Ballin podcast on Amazon

music is nothing but these kinds of stories. Each week you get new episodes full of inexplicable

encounters, shocking disappearances, and other strange dark and mysterious stories. Like the
