Episode 10 – Terror In Tokyo
The 1995 attack on the Tokyo subway was an act of terrorism that truly shook Japan to its core.
The attack involved perpetrators heading onto the Tokyo subway, wherein they released Sarin, a potent and toxic nerve agent that they had encased within a crumpled-up newspaper.
As patrons of the Tokyo subway stepped aboard the train, they slowly started to take note of the mysterious newspaper trash which lay mysteriously on the floor of an otherwise immaculate train car.
This newspaper eventually began to release its killer contents, which soon elicited violent coughing in all of the passengers trapped within the car.
And this did not just occur within one train car but in numerous others simultaneously, thanks to the efforts of other perpetrators.
Though only 14 died, many were also severely injured, and the incident has left an indelible impact on Japan.
As MrBallen goes through the events of that horrifying attack, you get a sense of how desperate the situation must have been, and this is thanks to how talented MrBallen is as a storyteller!
As MrBallen reveals more about the perpetrators behind the incident, you’ll find yourself gobsmacked.

Episode 15 – The Monster
Though the rational part of our brains can acknowledge that monsters belong in the realm of fiction, sometimes they seem very much real.
In the case of the 1999 disappearances of multiple people in the Yosemite National Park, it seemed like monsters were to blame!
When people were first reported as having gone missing in the park, local police found themselves dumbfounded when they could not begin to make sense of the disappearances and could find no clues.
Though it started as a local rumor, the idea that a ‘monster’ may have been responsible for the disappearances slowly began to gain credence until the police discovered that there really was a monster involved and that it was entirely beyond their expectations!
This episode is truly incredible and creepy and will give you chills!
