I believe he does. His channel is centered around real - life events and he has a certain authenticity in his delivery. He takes the time to research and present facts accurately. Of course, in the process of storytelling, some creative elements might be added to make it more appealing, but that doesn't take away from the fact that the foundation of his stories is real.
Yes, he does. MrBallen is known for sharing real and often strange stories.
Some of MrBallen's stories might be based on real events, but they could also have elements of embellishment or fictionalization for entertainment purposes.

Definitely not. Lore can be full of exaggerations and false details. Think about all the stories in folklore that involve magic or mythical creatures. These are clearly not true in the way we understand the world today. However, they might have been created to explain natural phenomena or cultural practices, so there might be a glimmer of truth in the underlying message.
Not necessarily. Lore can often incorporate elements of myth, legend, and imagination to make the story more engaging or convey certain messages.
There's also a story about a cemetery that was part of the mrballen ghost stories. At midnight, people claimed to see a figure in white floating among the tombstones. Some heard strange whispers as if the spirits of the dead were trying to communicate. The local legend said that a witch was buried there long ago, and her spirit still lingered, causing all these spooky happenings.
It could be that he doesn't know his audience well. He might think that the things he finds interesting are universal, but in fact, they are not. For instance, if he is really into some very niche hobbies and only talks about those, it can be boring for others. Also, his storytelling skills might be lacking. Even if he has great stories, if he doesn't know how to present them in an engaging way, like lacking proper pacing or not using vivid language, the stories will come out boring.
No. Candy Cadet's stories can be quite dark at times. They are not always positive, but rather explore different aspects of human nature and the world, including some of the more negative or complex elements.
Maybe they are bored and want to get attention. Telling crazy stories is a way to stand out.
