Well, hey you guys, it's me, Gary. Have you heard about an experience or a case that unnerved you so much that has stuck with you for years? Well, the Mr. Ballin podcast on Amazon Music is nothing but these kinds of stories. Each week you'll get new episodes, full of inexplicable encounters, shocking disappearances, and other strange, dark, and mysterious stories.

Like the spine-chilling case of Haley Zaga, who disappeared from a hiking trail for 51 hours

after getting separated from her grandparents.

When search and rescuers finally found her and asked how she survived, she simply said a friend

helped her.

She described as friend, four years old, black simply said a friend helped her. She described this friend,

four years old, black hair, brown eyes. Well, this friend was initially dismissed until they

realized the girl had gone missing in that exact spot 23 years earlier and had never been found.

She was four years old, had black hair and brown eyes. I'm about to play you a clip from the show.

he hears some more rustling behind him, and this time he can't really just write it off. Clearly, there is something behind him that's moving around. And so he stood up,

turned around, and remained motionless, and just listened, expecting to see maybe a deer come out

of the woods. But instead, he hears a man's voice come out of the darkness that says,

Do you know how to get to Bell's Canyon? And Matt's heart starts racing.
