Mulliga's Myths and Folktales, Part 3 - MrBallen

This Halloween, I'm featuring freaky folklore from around the world...everything from the Mothman, to Bloody Mary, to the alligators in New York sewers.  Today we feature one of YouTube's most popular folklore/true crime podcasters, MrBallen:

MrBallen has an interesting background for a YouTuber - he graduated from UMass Amherst with a philosophy degree, deployed to Afghanistan as a Navy SEAL, and then started making Internet videos and podcasts about the criminal and the unexplained:

In olden times, people like MrBallen would host documentary shows on cable TV with live action re-enactments and interviews.  MrBallen's content doesn't have that kind of budget (it's mostly just him talking over static backdrops in his signature plaid shirt), but I think that may actually work in his favor. The spotlight here is on the storytelling, so if you miss hearing strange tales of murderers and mysteries over a campfire, give MrBallen a try.
