1
00:00:03,078 --> 00:00:06,730
Narrator:
It is a mountain that
inspires both awe and fear.
2
00:00:06,823 --> 00:00:08,323
Jack "walking eagle" thom:
There's things around
in this mountain here
3
00:00:08,342 --> 00:00:09,824
That people
are really unaware of.
4
00:00:09,918 --> 00:00:11,659
But I believe it
cause I seen it.
5
00:00:11,754 --> 00:00:13,587
Narrator:
For centuries,
6
00:00:13,739 --> 00:00:16,757
Extraordinary sightings have
been reported both on its slopes
7
00:00:16,851 --> 00:00:19,667
And in the sky above.
8
00:00:19,762 --> 00:00:21,836
Nick pope:
There are multiple
9
00:00:21,930 --> 00:00:23,597
Strange events taking place.
10
00:00:23,749 --> 00:00:26,933
Ufo sightings,
paranormal events,
11
00:00:27,028 --> 00:00:31,179
Strange disappearances,
that go back throughout history.
12
00:00:31,273 --> 00:00:33,757
Dustin naef:
I've seen people
13
00:00:33,776 --> 00:00:37,110
In this very cave walk right
into a wall and vanish.
14
00:00:37,204 --> 00:00:38,195
That's incredible.
15
00:00:39,265 --> 00:00:41,281
Narrator:
But are these just stories
16
00:00:41,375 --> 00:00:44,376
Or something more?
17
00:00:44,528 --> 00:00:46,712
Giorgio tsoukalos:
What makes mount shasta
fascinating to me
18
00:00:46,863 --> 00:00:48,863
Are the questions.
19
00:00:48,883 --> 00:00:51,792
Narrator:
Ancient astronaut theorist
giorgio tsoukalos,
20
00:00:51,944 --> 00:00:53,944
Author david childress,
21
00:00:53,962 --> 00:00:56,797
And investigative
mythologist william henry
22
00:00:56,949 --> 00:01:01,060
Have come together
to examine incredible evidence
23
00:01:01,211 --> 00:01:03,287
That suggests mount shasta
24
00:01:03,380 --> 00:01:06,714
May have a connection
to otherworldly beings.
25
00:01:06,734 --> 00:01:08,233
David childress:
Perhaps it will be
26
00:01:08,460 --> 00:01:10,736
At mount shasta
where the extraterrestrials
27
00:01:10,887 --> 00:01:12,738
Finally reveal themselves.
28
00:01:16,151 --> 00:01:17,743
Narrator:
There is a doorway
29
00:01:17,894 --> 00:01:20,728
In the universe.
30
00:01:20,748 --> 00:01:23,749
Beyond it is
the promise of truth.
31
00:01:24,977 --> 00:01:27,661
It demands we
question everything
32
00:01:27,813 --> 00:01:30,071
We have ever been taught.
33
00:01:30,091 --> 00:01:32,424
The evidence is all around us.
34
00:01:33,577 --> 00:01:37,654
The future
is right before our eyes.
35
00:01:37,673 --> 00:01:40,157
We are not alone.
36
00:01:40,175 --> 00:01:43,268
We have never been alone.
37
00:01:50,778 --> 00:01:54,279
I'm really delighted to be
here with you guys because
38
00:01:54,431 --> 00:01:57,783
I'm curious to learn
what the truth is
39
00:01:58,010 --> 00:01:59,343
Behind mount shasta.
40
00:01:59,436 --> 00:02:01,511
I used to live up
in san francisco,
41
00:02:01,605 --> 00:02:04,456
And I drove
that road countless times.
42
00:02:05,684 --> 00:02:08,627
And what struck me
is the fact that
43
00:02:08,854 --> 00:02:11,538
Mount shasta sticks
out like a sore thumb.
44
00:02:11,632 --> 00:02:13,966
-Henry: Sure does.
-Childress: It really does
stand out.
45
00:02:14,193 --> 00:02:15,950
Henry:
I do have to admit driving up
46
00:02:15,970 --> 00:02:18,378
From sacramento and catching
my first glimpse of it
47
00:02:18,530 --> 00:02:20,530
Off in the distance
with the sun setting on it,
48
00:02:20,624 --> 00:02:22,532
My heart skips a beat.
I mean, it is majestic.
49
00:02:22,626 --> 00:02:24,292
Tsoukalos:
Oh, it is beautiful. Absolutely.
50
00:02:24,311 --> 00:02:25,811
Henry:
You can tell that there's really
51
00:02:25,962 --> 00:02:28,129
An allure to it.
52
00:02:28,149 --> 00:02:31,466
What makes mount shasta
fascinating to me
53
00:02:31,485 --> 00:02:34,561
-Are the legends and the
mythologies of that place.
-Henry: Yep.
54
00:02:34,713 --> 00:02:36,563
Childress:
Probably more weird books
55
00:02:36,715 --> 00:02:38,064
Have been written about
56
00:02:38,217 --> 00:02:40,901
Mount shasta
than any other mountain.
57
00:02:40,995 --> 00:02:43,162
What do you want? Giants?
Do you want star people?
58
00:02:43,389 --> 00:02:46,314
Do you want lost civilizations?
It all converges at shasta.
59
00:02:46,333 --> 00:02:48,816
And everyone
who lives in that area
60
00:02:48,911 --> 00:02:50,252
Is familiar with these stories.
61
00:02:53,156 --> 00:02:54,731
Narrator:
Rising to an elevation
62
00:02:54,750 --> 00:02:58,068
Of 14,179 feet,
63
00:02:58,161 --> 00:03:00,345
Mount shasta
in northern california
64
00:03:00,497 --> 00:03:03,740
Lies at an intriguing
crossroads of folklore,
65
00:03:03,759 --> 00:03:06,518
Geology and the paranormal.
66
00:03:06,745 --> 00:03:09,003
This majestic peak,
67
00:03:09,023 --> 00:03:11,339
Which is also a dormant volcano,
68
00:03:11,433 --> 00:03:14,100
Features
breathtaking waterfalls,
69
00:03:14,195 --> 00:03:18,271
Pristine lakes,
and spectacular alpine vistas
70
00:03:18,424 --> 00:03:22,034
That attract more than
26,000 visitors each year.
71
00:03:23,370 --> 00:03:26,446
But the native americans
who are indigenous to this area
72
00:03:26,540 --> 00:03:30,358
Warn that mount shasta is as
dangerous as it is beautiful.
73
00:03:30,452 --> 00:03:34,004
And for very unnatural reasons.
74
00:03:35,216 --> 00:03:38,032
For centuries,
the mountain has been known
75
00:03:38,126 --> 00:03:42,203
As a place where people report
strange events in the sky,
76
00:03:42,297 --> 00:03:45,224
Encounter terrifying creatures,
77
00:03:45,375 --> 00:03:49,728
And sometimes have even
vanished without a trace.
78
00:03:52,958 --> 00:03:55,792
Pope:
Mount shasta is a location
79
00:03:55,811 --> 00:03:59,053
Where there are multiple
strange events taking place.
80
00:03:59,073 --> 00:04:01,648
Ufo sightings,
81
00:04:01,742 --> 00:04:04,634
Paranormal events,
82
00:04:04,653 --> 00:04:07,496
Strange disappearances...
83
00:04:08,582 --> 00:04:11,491
...That go back
throughout history.
84
00:04:11,643 --> 00:04:13,477
And, indeed, one can look to
85
00:04:13,495 --> 00:04:16,755
Certain native american legends,
for example,
86
00:04:16,982 --> 00:04:20,834
To say that
mount shasta has always
87
00:04:20,986 --> 00:04:24,096
Been associated
with strange goings-on.
88
00:04:26,492 --> 00:04:28,658
There's things around
in this mountain here
89
00:04:28,752 --> 00:04:30,752
That people
are really unaware of.
90
00:04:30,771 --> 00:04:32,754
Some people don't even
want to believe it.
91
00:04:32,848 --> 00:04:34,773
But I believe it
cause I seen it.
92
00:04:35,943 --> 00:04:37,776
I've witnessed it.
93
00:04:39,171 --> 00:04:41,429
Narrator:
Local native american tribes,
94
00:04:41,523 --> 00:04:44,007
Such as the shasta, wintu,
95
00:04:44,026 --> 00:04:47,177
Modoc and karuk,
have inhabited the area
96
00:04:47,195 --> 00:04:49,705
Dating back as much
as 12 centuries.
97
00:04:50,791 --> 00:04:53,274
Each revere
mount shasta as a place
98
00:04:53,368 --> 00:04:55,702
That possesses mystical powers.
99
00:04:55,854 --> 00:04:57,129
Walking eagle:
I was told
100
00:04:57,280 --> 00:04:59,965
By my grandmother
and grandfather
101
00:05:00,116 --> 00:05:02,634
That, you know, that we didn't
go above the tree line.
102
00:05:03,804 --> 00:05:07,139
That belongs to
"grandfather" up there.
103
00:05:07,290 --> 00:05:10,058
So I try to stay
as far away as I can.
104
00:05:11,703 --> 00:05:14,204
There was a native american
author there, lucy thompson,
105
00:05:14,222 --> 00:05:16,706
1916, she writes a book
106
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,391
All about
the native american legends
107
00:05:18,544 --> 00:05:19,818
Of the star people,
108
00:05:19,969 --> 00:05:21,987
All that
activity at mount shasta.
109
00:05:22,138 --> 00:05:24,489
And this isn't some, like,
kooky book or something.
110
00:05:24,641 --> 00:05:26,825
She's writing the history
of her people, the yurok tribe.
111
00:05:26,976 --> 00:05:29,143
All these legends
are incredible.
112
00:05:29,163 --> 00:05:31,905
And this has been going on
at mount shasta
113
00:05:31,999 --> 00:05:34,074
For hundreds of years.
114
00:05:34,168 --> 00:05:37,002
So can we attribute all these
legends to mere coincidence?
115
00:05:37,229 --> 00:05:40,246
-That's the big question.
-Henry: I don't think so.
116
00:05:40,341 --> 00:05:43,008
Another layer to this mystery
is that shasta is very close
117
00:05:43,235 --> 00:05:45,402
To petroglyph point,
where we find some of
118
00:05:45,420 --> 00:05:47,587
What are considered to be
some of the oldest
119
00:05:47,681 --> 00:05:49,181
Petroglyphs in north america.
120
00:05:50,409 --> 00:05:54,001
Narrator: 60 miles
northeast of mount shasta,
121
00:05:54,096 --> 00:05:55,595
At lava beds national monument,
122
00:05:55,689 --> 00:05:58,673
A curious record
of native american traditions
123
00:05:58,692 --> 00:06:00,083
Can be found.
124
00:06:01,195 --> 00:06:04,270
Hundreds of stone carvings,
known as petroglyphs,
125
00:06:04,423 --> 00:06:07,924
That were created
as much as 6000 years ago
126
00:06:08,017 --> 00:06:10,452
By ancestors of the modoc tribe.
127
00:06:11,613 --> 00:06:13,538
The lava beds petroglyphs
128
00:06:13,690 --> 00:06:16,116
Include ancient calendars,
129
00:06:16,210 --> 00:06:18,860
Depictions of animals, humans,
130
00:06:18,954 --> 00:06:21,863
And celestial beings
also referred to
131
00:06:21,882 --> 00:06:24,608
As "sky people."
132
00:06:24,701 --> 00:06:26,885
In various native american
traditions,
133
00:06:27,112 --> 00:06:29,796
We have different spiritual
beings, uh, located
134
00:06:29,890 --> 00:06:31,965
On these sort of different
planes of existence.
135
00:06:32,117 --> 00:06:34,634
And there's a wonderful
range of stories
136
00:06:34,728 --> 00:06:37,229
In many, many native american
groups that talk
137
00:06:37,456 --> 00:06:39,231
About some of the adventures
and interactions
138
00:06:39,382 --> 00:06:42,067
With the sky people, uh,
with the humans on earth.
139
00:06:44,463 --> 00:06:46,312
Narrator:
One of the petroglyphs depicts
140
00:06:46,465 --> 00:06:49,074
A large, winged creature
emerging from inside
141
00:06:49,225 --> 00:06:51,635
Of mount shasta.
142
00:06:51,728 --> 00:06:54,638
It is believed
to represent a sky being
143
00:06:54,656 --> 00:06:57,157
Who the modoc people
worship as their creator
144
00:06:57,251 --> 00:06:59,233
Known as skell.
145
00:06:59,253 --> 00:07:04,497
The local people believe
that in ancient times,
146
00:07:04,650 --> 00:07:07,150
The great sky chief skell
147
00:07:07,169 --> 00:07:10,670
Came down from the sky
to live in shasta
148
00:07:10,764 --> 00:07:14,015
And has been there
ever since and protects it.
149
00:07:17,179 --> 00:07:19,012
Narrator:
Could this petroglyph of skell
150
00:07:19,164 --> 00:07:20,772
Be, as some believe,
151
00:07:20,999 --> 00:07:23,942
An actual depiction
of an extraterrestrial being
152
00:07:24,169 --> 00:07:26,945
That the modoc people
encountered centuries ago?
153
00:07:29,116 --> 00:07:32,025
So we know there's been humans
going through this area
154
00:07:32,119 --> 00:07:34,435
For a long time
and creating these petroglyphs
155
00:07:34,529 --> 00:07:36,696
With these
mystery teachings on them.
156
00:07:36,848 --> 00:07:40,200
So it's got all of
that mythology attached to it
157
00:07:40,352 --> 00:07:43,019
And has all kinds
of ufo sightings as well.
158
00:07:43,038 --> 00:07:45,613
Certain mountains
are associated with ufos,
159
00:07:45,632 --> 00:07:48,467
And mount shasta's
definitely one of them.
160
00:07:48,618 --> 00:07:51,118
It's interesting to me
that we have modern accounts
161
00:07:51,138 --> 00:07:53,454
Of ufo sightings, for example,
162
00:07:53,548 --> 00:07:55,715
Right here at mount shasta,
163
00:07:55,809 --> 00:07:58,384
But what's fascinating
to me is that there are
164
00:07:58,479 --> 00:08:02,872
Many, many ancient stories
of so-called ufo encounters
165
00:08:02,966 --> 00:08:06,209
That we consider today
ufo encounters.
166
00:08:06,302 --> 00:08:08,561
And are ufos particularly
are seen kind of coming
167
00:08:08,714 --> 00:08:10,714
From the top,
the crater of mount shasta
168
00:08:10,807 --> 00:08:13,717
And going up or are they
coming out of the side?
169
00:08:13,810 --> 00:08:16,236
-What are... What are
the beliefs there?
-Henry: They're from all over.
170
00:08:16,330 --> 00:08:18,555
It's like-it's like they're
coming out of the mountain
171
00:08:18,573 --> 00:08:21,074
Or that-that they're seen
hovering above it.
172
00:08:21,168 --> 00:08:22,501
It's very strange.
173
00:08:23,653 --> 00:08:25,837
Narrator:
Over the past century,
174
00:08:26,064 --> 00:08:27,839
There have been
more than 50 reports
175
00:08:28,066 --> 00:08:30,842
Of ufo sightings
around mount shasta
176
00:08:30,994 --> 00:08:34,304
With an increasing number
in just the last decade.
177
00:08:35,257 --> 00:08:37,498
Almost everyone who lives there
178
00:08:37,592 --> 00:08:39,851
Has-has seen something unusual.
179
00:08:41,021 --> 00:08:43,580
One of the most remarkable
ufo sightings
180
00:08:43,598 --> 00:08:46,858
I've heard of,
it took place in 2008.
181
00:08:47,010 --> 00:08:50,420
Witnesses in the town of mccloud
saw a ufo
182
00:08:50,513 --> 00:08:53,439
That looked like
a giant glowing jellyfish
183
00:08:53,534 --> 00:08:58,161
Move over the town and then
fly off into the distance.
184
00:09:00,766 --> 00:09:02,265
Walking eagle:
I was driving back
185
00:09:02,284 --> 00:09:05,118
From, uh, klamath falls,
eh, around 7:00,
186
00:09:05,270 --> 00:09:07,045
6:30, 7:00 in the evening
187
00:09:07,196 --> 00:09:09,272
In the summertime.
188
00:09:09,365 --> 00:09:11,291
All of the sudden
I looked up on the mountain,
189
00:09:11,385 --> 00:09:13,218
And I seen the whole mountain
190
00:09:13,369 --> 00:09:16,203
Toward yreka side open up.
191
00:09:16,298 --> 00:09:18,631
And then this big ship came
192
00:09:18,725 --> 00:09:21,801
And sat there hovered for
a minute and then went right in.
193
00:09:21,953 --> 00:09:23,953
And next thing you know,
the mountain closed,
194
00:09:23,972 --> 00:09:26,690
And I was like,
"what is going on?"
195
00:09:29,052 --> 00:09:31,311
I never let things like that
bother me, though.
196
00:09:31,463 --> 00:09:33,405
I've seen things like that
all the time.
197
00:09:33,632 --> 00:09:36,299
And, you know, what's
interesting about it, too,
198
00:09:36,392 --> 00:09:38,225
Is that the native americans...
There was a group
199
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,653
Of spiritual beings
called the waga
200
00:09:40,747 --> 00:09:43,731
That first came to shasta
and-and started instructing
201
00:09:43,825 --> 00:09:45,399
The local native americans.
202
00:09:45,419 --> 00:09:48,402
And they told this story
that there were giants
203
00:09:48,496 --> 00:09:50,422
That lived in mount shasta.
204
00:09:50,649 --> 00:09:53,499
Giants are often
associated with the stories
205
00:09:53,652 --> 00:09:55,743
-Of bigfoot.
-Henry: Absolutely.
206
00:09:55,837 --> 00:09:58,263
-And mount shasta is also famous
for bigfoot sightings.
-Yes, it is.
207
00:09:58,414 --> 00:10:01,248
In fact, the earliest, uh,
208
00:10:01,268 --> 00:10:04,585
Really popular sightings
of bigfoot
209
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,088
And where the name
bigfoot comes from
210
00:10:07,182 --> 00:10:08,998
Is from northern california
211
00:10:09,017 --> 00:10:11,276
-And around redding.
-Mm-hmm.
212
00:10:12,687 --> 00:10:14,779
Narrator:
Giants? Bigfoot?
213
00:10:16,265 --> 00:10:19,509
Incredibly, similar stories
have been reported
214
00:10:19,602 --> 00:10:21,786
In this area
for hundreds of years.
215
00:10:24,516 --> 00:10:28,184
And in October 1930,
several newspapers detailed
216
00:10:28,203 --> 00:10:31,855
The discovery of a mysteriously
large humanoid skeleton
217
00:10:31,873 --> 00:10:33,857
In the town of redding,
218
00:10:33,875 --> 00:10:36,885
60 miles south of mount shasta.
219
00:10:37,971 --> 00:10:40,138
There are traditions
of giants linked
220
00:10:40,365 --> 00:10:42,289
With mount shasta,
which absolutely fascinate me.
221
00:10:42,309 --> 00:10:45,201
And one of these, uh,
goes back quite a long way,
222
00:10:45,294 --> 00:10:46,961
And it's part
of the modoc tribe,
223
00:10:46,980 --> 00:10:48,963
Who are kind of
part of this area.
224
00:10:50,150 --> 00:10:54,653
And they say the sky spirit's
daughter was abducted by a bear,
225
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:58,657
And she actually gave birth
to a race of giants.
226
00:10:58,884 --> 00:11:01,826
Some people suggest that these
are actually hairy beasts,
227
00:11:01,978 --> 00:11:05,622
Sasquatch-like beings,
connected with mount shasta.
228
00:11:07,150 --> 00:11:10,410
So you've got this
convergence of-of these stories
229
00:11:10,504 --> 00:11:15,173
Of-of massive ufo
sightings, giants, star beings.
230
00:11:15,324 --> 00:11:18,568
This is, like, a hotbed area
up here. It is incredible.
231
00:11:18,586 --> 00:11:21,070
Native americans
in the area around mount shasta
232
00:11:21,089 --> 00:11:24,073
Warned people of
the number of disappearances
233
00:11:24,092 --> 00:11:26,259
-That have taken place up there.
-So mount shasta
234
00:11:26,411 --> 00:11:28,411
Is one of these hot spots
235
00:11:28,504 --> 00:11:30,522
-For disappearing people, then?
-Exactly.
236
00:11:36,938 --> 00:11:40,347
Native americans in the area
around mount shasta say that
237
00:11:40,367 --> 00:11:43,017
The area above the tree line
is sacred.
238
00:11:43,111 --> 00:11:44,703
-And they warn people,
"do not go up there."
-is that so?
239
00:11:44,854 --> 00:11:47,096
Right, which makes it
not surprising to learn
240
00:11:47,115 --> 00:11:49,874
Of the number of disappearances
that have taken place up there.
241
00:11:50,026 --> 00:11:52,877
So mount shasta
is one of these hot spots
242
00:11:53,029 --> 00:11:54,879
-For disappearing people, then?
-Exactly.
243
00:11:56,049 --> 00:11:58,365
Yes, siskiyou county
is the location
244
00:11:58,460 --> 00:12:00,701
That carl disappeared in.
245
00:12:00,795 --> 00:12:03,112
Narrator:
Since 2009,
246
00:12:03,131 --> 00:12:05,298
Former police detective
dave paulides has been
247
00:12:05,450 --> 00:12:08,451
Applying his professional
investigative training
248
00:12:08,470 --> 00:12:12,379
Attempting to solve mysterious
missing persons cases
249
00:12:12,474 --> 00:12:14,715
All around the country.
250
00:12:14,735 --> 00:12:17,794
In ten-plus years,
I've looked at over
251
00:12:17,887 --> 00:12:20,721
5,000 search and rescue cases.
252
00:12:20,741 --> 00:12:25,226
And in those,
1,200 are unexplained.
253
00:12:25,245 --> 00:12:28,154
And I mean that cases
254
00:12:28,248 --> 00:12:32,083
Of possible animal predation
have been vetted out.
255
00:12:32,235 --> 00:12:36,904
Incidents of mental health,
suicide, were vetted out.
256
00:12:36,998 --> 00:12:39,573
And what you're left with
257
00:12:39,593 --> 00:12:42,427
Is a complete void
of rational explanation.
258
00:12:45,657 --> 00:12:49,917
The area around mount shasta
has many unusual disappearances.
259
00:12:49,936 --> 00:12:52,586
Narrator:
One of the most
baffling disappearances
260
00:12:52,606 --> 00:12:54,664
That dave has been focusing on
261
00:12:54,757 --> 00:12:58,359
Was reported
on mount shasta in 1999.
262
00:12:59,521 --> 00:13:03,448
On may 25,
three experienced hikers--
263
00:13:03,675 --> 00:13:06,859
Carl landers, milt gaines
and barry gilmore--
264
00:13:07,012 --> 00:13:09,362
Set off from mount shasta's
bunny flat trailhead
265
00:13:09,514 --> 00:13:10,789
Towards the summit.
266
00:13:13,701 --> 00:13:17,036
The guys got up
to a place called 50/50.
267
00:13:17,130 --> 00:13:19,705
It was a place where hikers
that wanted to summit
268
00:13:19,858 --> 00:13:22,025
Would either camp there
or at the next stop,
269
00:13:22,118 --> 00:13:23,968
Called lake helen,
for the night.
270
00:13:25,138 --> 00:13:27,955
The next morning, they get up,
the wind is howling.
271
00:13:27,974 --> 00:13:30,457
The guys were
putting the tent together
272
00:13:30,477 --> 00:13:32,310
And were stashing it
for their climb,
273
00:13:32,537 --> 00:13:35,129
And they saw
that carl was looking cold.
274
00:13:35,148 --> 00:13:38,708
And so they said, "hey, why
don't you go to lake helen's,
275
00:13:38,726 --> 00:13:41,044
And we'll meet you there."
276
00:13:41,062 --> 00:13:42,654
And carl took off walking.
277
00:13:45,900 --> 00:13:47,641
Narrator:
Shortly after carl
278
00:13:47,661 --> 00:13:49,643
Left the 50/50 campsite,
279
00:13:49,663 --> 00:13:52,330
Milt and barry followed.
280
00:13:52,557 --> 00:13:54,666
But when they arrived
at lake helen,
281
00:13:54,817 --> 00:13:57,818
Just 650 feet away,
282
00:13:57,838 --> 00:14:01,464
Carl was nowhere to be found.
283
00:14:02,658 --> 00:14:05,844
Paulides:
Milt gaines, carl's partner,
284
00:14:06,071 --> 00:14:08,996
Got there,
and he didn't see carl.
285
00:14:09,015 --> 00:14:11,349
And now he's confused
286
00:14:11,500 --> 00:14:14,577
Because there's no place
between 50/50
287
00:14:14,596 --> 00:14:17,096
And lake helen to disappear.
288
00:14:17,190 --> 00:14:19,599
There's no obstructions,
you're above timber line,
289
00:14:19,751 --> 00:14:21,175
There's no big, huge boulders
290
00:14:21,269 --> 00:14:23,269
That are gonna get in your way,
291
00:14:23,363 --> 00:14:26,322
And it's a solid snow field
with no crevasses.
292
00:14:30,019 --> 00:14:33,020
That started a week-long
search and rescue
293
00:14:33,039 --> 00:14:35,615
That would rival any
anyone knew about.
294
00:14:36,784 --> 00:14:40,436
Now, one of the things that
was done on the landers case
295
00:14:40,455 --> 00:14:42,939
Is that they checked
with u.S. Geological survey
296
00:14:42,957 --> 00:14:45,532
For seismic activity
on the mountain.
297
00:14:45,552 --> 00:14:48,277
The reason they did that
is that sometimes
298
00:14:48,371 --> 00:14:50,722
There's a...
An avalanche of rock
299
00:14:50,873 --> 00:14:53,057
And maybe the climber
was covered
300
00:14:53,284 --> 00:14:55,226
By the rock
and you wouldn't find them.
301
00:14:55,453 --> 00:14:57,211
During the time
that carl was gone,
302
00:14:57,230 --> 00:14:59,138
There was no seismic activity.
303
00:14:59,290 --> 00:15:01,882
So they know that carl
wasn't covered by rocks.
304
00:15:03,052 --> 00:15:06,295
Narrator:
Remarkably,
in the more than 20 years
305
00:15:06,314 --> 00:15:07,888
Since carl's disappearance,
306
00:15:07,982 --> 00:15:10,466
No one has found any clues
307
00:15:10,485 --> 00:15:13,244
That could explain
what happened to him.
308
00:15:13,471 --> 00:15:15,729
Milt gaines:
I don't know how many people
309
00:15:15,749 --> 00:15:17,898
Have been up avalanche gulch.
310
00:15:17,918 --> 00:15:20,418
But, uh, nothing has been found.
311
00:15:20,645 --> 00:15:23,070
No metal ice axe.
No metal crampons.
312
00:15:23,089 --> 00:15:27,333
No colorful nylon pack or coat
313
00:15:27,485 --> 00:15:29,594
Or black pants or plastic boots.
314
00:15:29,821 --> 00:15:32,096
Nothing.
315
00:15:32,248 --> 00:15:35,099
Paulides:
The search and rescue
coordinator on this event
316
00:15:35,251 --> 00:15:37,176
Was an individual
named grizz adams.
317
00:15:37,270 --> 00:15:41,013
Grizz had been doing
this for 30-plus years.
318
00:15:41,107 --> 00:15:45,610
Grizz said, "dave, I guarantee
carl isn't on that mountain.
319
00:15:46,780 --> 00:15:51,098
He either went up or he went in,
but he isn't on."
320
00:15:51,117 --> 00:15:53,767
Those were his words.
321
00:15:53,787 --> 00:15:58,122
I think that
the comment tells you
322
00:15:58,274 --> 00:16:01,292
That there were few options
for a rational explanation.
323
00:16:02,295 --> 00:16:04,295
And so they-they
never found him,
324
00:16:04,447 --> 00:16:06,189
They have no explanation
for what happened.
325
00:16:06,282 --> 00:16:07,781
(stammers)
everyone's just baffled?
326
00:16:07,801 --> 00:16:09,692
Yeah. Yeah, he's hiking up
the mountain
327
00:16:09,711 --> 00:16:11,618
In sight of his friends
and suddenly disappears.
328
00:16:11,638 --> 00:16:14,455
And do they see him disappear
329
00:16:14,474 --> 00:16:17,533
Or they just look away and they
turn around and he's gone?
330
00:16:17,626 --> 00:16:19,811
Typically,
in those stories, people
331
00:16:19,962 --> 00:16:21,962
Don't actually see them
disappear, but they're
332
00:16:22,056 --> 00:16:25,149
Nearby and they never call out
for help or anything like that.
333
00:16:25,376 --> 00:16:27,652
Then there's the story
of a three-year-old boy.
334
00:16:27,879 --> 00:16:29,895
He's camping
with his parents on shasta,
335
00:16:30,048 --> 00:16:32,281
And he wanders off, disappears.
336
00:16:34,552 --> 00:16:36,219
Narrator:
Another very
unusual disappearance
337
00:16:36,237 --> 00:16:39,646
That dave paulides
investigated near mount shasta
338
00:16:39,666 --> 00:16:43,334
Occurred on September 2, 2011.
339
00:16:43,486 --> 00:16:45,652
Paulides:
A three-year-old boy disappeared
340
00:16:45,672 --> 00:16:47,747
On a camping trip.
341
00:16:47,899 --> 00:16:50,082
And he was later found
by search and rescue,
342
00:16:50,176 --> 00:16:52,844
At one of the first places
they would have looked.
343
00:16:52,995 --> 00:16:55,329
Right next to a trail.
344
00:16:55,348 --> 00:16:59,242
One of the first things
search and rescue people do is,
345
00:16:59,260 --> 00:17:02,669
As they're walking down a trail,
they're calling the boy's name.
346
00:17:02,764 --> 00:17:04,022
-Tommy!
-Hey, tommy!
347
00:17:04,173 --> 00:17:05,765
Hey, tommy, where are you?
348
00:17:05,917 --> 00:17:08,008
Now, if he was near the trail
349
00:17:08,102 --> 00:17:11,529
And he heard that, chances are
he's gonna come and get help.
350
00:17:11,756 --> 00:17:13,197
Cause he'd been
out there overnight.
351
00:17:13,349 --> 00:17:15,775
So to think that
he was next that trail
352
00:17:15,927 --> 00:17:17,760
The whole time
is really hard to understand.
353
00:17:18,946 --> 00:17:22,431
Another unusual aspect
to that story is that this boy
354
00:17:22,450 --> 00:17:25,859
Told a story of,
after going missing,
355
00:17:25,879 --> 00:17:28,880
He was down in some kind
of underground cave...
356
00:17:33,053 --> 00:17:37,280
...And a woman
that he thought was a robot
357
00:17:37,298 --> 00:17:40,892
Was there asking him
if he was okay and comfortable.
358
00:17:41,953 --> 00:17:43,953
It was all a very strange story,
359
00:17:44,046 --> 00:17:45,805
Something
I've never heard before.
360
00:17:45,957 --> 00:17:48,124
Narrator:
While the story may sound
361
00:17:48,217 --> 00:17:51,051
Like the product
of a child's imagination,
362
00:17:51,071 --> 00:17:54,297
The search and rescue team
could provide no explanation
363
00:17:54,315 --> 00:17:57,149
For how the boy
went missing for five hours
364
00:17:57,302 --> 00:18:01,079
Only to suddenly turn up
right next to the trail.
365
00:18:02,898 --> 00:18:04,398
Many people
say these disappearances
366
00:18:04,492 --> 00:18:07,585
Are-are just accidents.
367
00:18:07,736 --> 00:18:10,663
But the idea
that somebody disappears
368
00:18:10,815 --> 00:18:13,257
In a location where
there are ufo sightings
369
00:18:13,409 --> 00:18:16,761
And sometimes
reports of entities
370
00:18:16,912 --> 00:18:20,673
Mirrors the idea, perhaps,
of the alien abduction.
371
00:18:21,843 --> 00:18:24,827
Narrator:
Is it possible
that carl landers and others
372
00:18:24,846 --> 00:18:27,588
Who mysteriously disappeared
around mount shasta
373
00:18:27,607 --> 00:18:31,350
Were abducted
by extraterrestrial beings?
374
00:18:31,444 --> 00:18:36,689
Or might there be an even
more profound explanation?
375
00:18:36,783 --> 00:18:38,858
Uh, people are still
disappearing on mount shasta.
376
00:18:39,010 --> 00:18:41,010
-Right.
-This is not something
that has,
377
00:18:41,028 --> 00:18:43,012
-You know, stopped.
-Right.
378
00:18:43,030 --> 00:18:44,847
And it's an open area where,
379
00:18:44,866 --> 00:18:46,940
You know, there's not
that many places to hide,
380
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,293
-E-except by going
inside the mountain.
-Absolutely.
381
00:18:49,445 --> 00:18:52,521
But, once again, this affirms
the... Kind of the mystery,
382
00:18:52,540 --> 00:18:55,024
The strangeness
of mount shasta and says
383
00:18:55,042 --> 00:18:57,117
This is... There's a lot more
going on there than...
384
00:18:57,211 --> 00:18:58,803
Than we really realize.
385
00:19:04,644 --> 00:19:06,385
People are called to mount
shasta and they don't know why.
386
00:19:06,537 --> 00:19:07,937
Mount shasta is also apparently
on a major ley line.
387
00:19:10,150 --> 00:19:13,042
They're a telluric current
of energy going from
388
00:19:13,060 --> 00:19:15,969
Different grid spots
and power spots.
389
00:19:15,989 --> 00:19:19,548
What's going on in mount shasta
is not just in north america.
390
00:19:19,567 --> 00:19:22,976
All over the world
are these power spot mountains
391
00:19:22,996 --> 00:19:24,978
Like mount shasta.
392
00:19:24,998 --> 00:19:26,497
Mount shasta is sometimes said
393
00:19:26,724 --> 00:19:30,393
To be one of the chakras
of the planet, too.
394
00:19:31,562 --> 00:19:34,488
Narrator:
The ancient
sanskrit term "chakra"
395
00:19:34,507 --> 00:19:37,175
Refers to energy centers
in the human body.
396
00:19:38,178 --> 00:19:42,346
In his 1967 book
earth chakras,
397
00:19:42,498 --> 00:19:45,349
Author robert coon
proposed that the planet
398
00:19:45,501 --> 00:19:48,502
Also has energy centers,
and that these
399
00:19:48,521 --> 00:19:51,689
Act as connection points
to otherworldly dimensions.
400
00:19:53,601 --> 00:19:56,510
His list included
mount sinai in egypt,
401
00:19:56,604 --> 00:19:59,104
Mount kailash in tibet,
402
00:19:59,199 --> 00:20:01,365
And mount shasta.
403
00:20:01,517 --> 00:20:03,367
Hugh newman:
There were traditions
404
00:20:03,594 --> 00:20:06,111
Of sacred mountains
all over the world.
405
00:20:06,206 --> 00:20:10,115
This is where the gods
came down, started civilization.
406
00:20:10,268 --> 00:20:11,876
But it's also thought to be
407
00:20:12,103 --> 00:20:14,861
Where communication
with the gods took place
408
00:20:14,881 --> 00:20:17,790
And potentially
where interstellar travel
409
00:20:17,942 --> 00:20:21,177
May have taken place between
this world and other worlds.
410
00:20:23,114 --> 00:20:26,057
It seems that mount shasta
is on some energy line
411
00:20:26,208 --> 00:20:29,376
That's perhaps
connected even to cusco
412
00:20:29,395 --> 00:20:31,729
And lake titicaca,
the great pyramids.
413
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:35,215
-You know, power spots
and sacred spaces.
-Sure.
414
00:20:35,235 --> 00:20:37,643
Yeah, it's important to bring
up the great pyramid because
415
00:20:37,795 --> 00:20:39,386
It reminds me of mount shasta.
416
00:20:39,405 --> 00:20:40,571
Really?
Okay.
417
00:20:41,741 --> 00:20:44,316
Henry:
First of all, it's a volcano,
418
00:20:44,410 --> 00:20:46,869
And the word "pyramid"
means "fire in the middle."
419
00:20:49,974 --> 00:20:51,916
And underneath
the great pyramid are tunnels.
420
00:20:53,068 --> 00:20:55,235
Same thing here at shasta.
421
00:20:55,329 --> 00:20:57,997
And it makes me think, well,
maybe shasta could've been like
422
00:20:58,149 --> 00:21:00,741
The natural origin
of the idea of the pyramid
423
00:21:00,835 --> 00:21:02,927
As, like, a power center.
424
00:21:03,078 --> 00:21:05,488
But the pyramid is
an artificial construction.
425
00:21:05,506 --> 00:21:08,248
-A lava tube is not artificial,
that's nature.
-Exactly. And what I'm saying is
426
00:21:08,268 --> 00:21:09,992
That perhaps the pyramid
is kind of like
427
00:21:10,011 --> 00:21:12,919
A technological version
of a naturally-occurring
428
00:21:12,939 --> 00:21:15,189
Power center, like a volcano.
429
00:21:16,350 --> 00:21:19,001
Narrator:
The great pyramid of giza,
430
00:21:19,020 --> 00:21:21,094
A power center?
431
00:21:21,114 --> 00:21:24,073
Modeled after a volcano
like mount shasta?
432
00:21:25,285 --> 00:21:29,120
In his 1998 book,
the giza power plant,
433
00:21:29,271 --> 00:21:32,197
Renowned master craftsman
and engineer christopher dunn
434
00:21:32,292 --> 00:21:36,035
Proposed that the great pyramid
was originally designed
435
00:21:36,187 --> 00:21:38,779
And functioned as a power plant.
436
00:21:39,948 --> 00:21:43,042
Two years later, based on
curious erosion patterns
437
00:21:43,136 --> 00:21:45,952
Within the pyramid,
maritime engineer john cadman
438
00:21:45,972 --> 00:21:48,472
Lent his support to this theory.
439
00:21:50,476 --> 00:21:52,718
In the subterranean chamber,
there is some evidence
440
00:21:52,870 --> 00:21:55,479
That shows that there had
been water present in it.
441
00:21:56,724 --> 00:21:59,817
There's water erosion
on the floor,
442
00:21:59,968 --> 00:22:04,488
And then there's also
cavitation damage on the ceiling
443
00:22:04,715 --> 00:22:06,991
Right above the pit,
and that had to have been
444
00:22:07,142 --> 00:22:09,827
From a compression wave.
445
00:22:11,072 --> 00:22:13,480
Narrator:
Cadman concluded
that the great pyramid
446
00:22:13,499 --> 00:22:15,649
Was a gigantic hydraulic pump
447
00:22:15,668 --> 00:22:18,652
That drew water
from the nearby nile river
448
00:22:18,671 --> 00:22:20,504
To generate power.
449
00:22:21,749 --> 00:22:24,491
But if the great pyramid
functioned as a power plant,
450
00:22:24,510 --> 00:22:27,011
What purpose
might it have served?
451
00:22:28,497 --> 00:22:31,240
Ancient astronaut
theorists suggest
452
00:22:31,258 --> 00:22:33,976
Clues can be found
in scared egyptian writings.
453
00:22:35,079 --> 00:22:37,021
Henry:
The pyramid texts describe
454
00:22:37,248 --> 00:22:39,582
The ancient egyptian gods
as extraterrestrials
455
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:41,600
Coming and going
from two places:
456
00:22:41,694 --> 00:22:43,769
Sirius and orion.
457
00:22:43,921 --> 00:22:46,697
The pyramid itself, according
to the ancient egyptians,
458
00:22:46,849 --> 00:22:50,034
Functioned
as an ascension device,
459
00:22:50,185 --> 00:22:53,520
So everything that we discover
about the great pyramid
460
00:22:53,539 --> 00:22:56,207
Has to be related
to its original function
461
00:22:56,358 --> 00:22:58,784
As a portal
to other star systems
462
00:22:58,936 --> 00:23:01,937
Or other dimensions.
463
00:23:01,956 --> 00:23:04,548
Narrator:
Is it possible that
the great pyramid was designed
464
00:23:04,700 --> 00:23:08,386
By otherworldly visitors to
function as some kind of portal?
465
00:23:09,614 --> 00:23:11,947
And, if so,
could there have been others?
466
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:15,041
Interestingly,
while the great pyramid
467
00:23:15,061 --> 00:23:18,454
Is a man-made structure,
geologist dr. Robert schoch
468
00:23:18,547 --> 00:23:21,232
Has identified
compelling similarities
469
00:23:21,383 --> 00:23:23,567
That it shares
with mount shasta.
470
00:23:25,146 --> 00:23:30,223
I see many similarities between
mount shasta geologically
471
00:23:30,243 --> 00:23:32,968
And the natural features
472
00:23:32,987 --> 00:23:36,805
It's associated with
and artificial,
473
00:23:36,824 --> 00:23:38,916
Human-constructed pyramids.
474
00:23:40,327 --> 00:23:42,161
Underground flowing water
475
00:23:42,313 --> 00:23:43,996
Can carry a charge,
476
00:23:44,090 --> 00:23:47,166
Build up charge
in certain areas that can then
477
00:23:47,318 --> 00:23:52,321
Migrate to the surface
along faults and fissures
478
00:23:52,339 --> 00:23:54,823
And, in some cases, then escape
479
00:23:54,842 --> 00:23:57,176
As, basically, balls of charge.
480
00:23:58,345 --> 00:24:00,921
Narrator:
Might the unique
geology of mount shasta
481
00:24:00,940 --> 00:24:03,182
Make it the perfect
location for alien beings
482
00:24:03,276 --> 00:24:06,092
To create a portal to other
parts of the universe
483
00:24:06,187 --> 00:24:08,779
Or even other dimensions?
484
00:24:11,175 --> 00:24:14,009
So then, in a sense, it's like
an interdimensional portal
485
00:24:14,102 --> 00:24:16,361
Where beings and craft can shift
486
00:24:16,456 --> 00:24:19,272
To other dimensions,
go to other planets, even?
487
00:24:19,366 --> 00:24:21,625
-Exactly.
-And is it possible
that some of these people
488
00:24:21,852 --> 00:24:24,019
Have disappeared,
have-have actually even
489
00:24:24,112 --> 00:24:26,371
-Been taken off planet
or something?
-That would make sense to me.
490
00:24:26,466 --> 00:24:28,707
I mean, given what
we're-we're hearing about this,
491
00:24:28,801 --> 00:24:30,617
That they could have just
stumbled into some kind of
492
00:24:30,636 --> 00:24:32,695
Portal, as you're suggesting.
493
00:24:32,713 --> 00:24:34,379
I mean, seriously, we've got
494
00:24:34,532 --> 00:24:38,217
Tremendous magnetic energy
there, disappearances,
495
00:24:38,311 --> 00:24:40,886
All kinds of mysterious
incidences like that.
496
00:24:40,980 --> 00:24:44,039
That's fascinating.
William, you went up to
497
00:24:44,132 --> 00:24:45,541
Mount shasta just recently.
498
00:24:45,634 --> 00:24:47,300
Can you tell us
about your experience?
499
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:49,445
Oh, it was absolutely
mind-blowing.
500
00:24:56,329 --> 00:24:58,144
William, you went upto
mount shasta just recently.
501
00:24:58,164 --> 00:24:59,830
Can you tell us about your
experience and what you learned?
502
00:25:00,057 --> 00:25:01,499
Oh, it was absolutely
mind-blowing.
503
00:25:01,650 --> 00:25:03,408
Went up there
to meet dustin naef.
504
00:25:03,561 --> 00:25:04,743
He's a local historian.
505
00:25:04,895 --> 00:25:05,911
He-he's one of these guys
506
00:25:06,063 --> 00:25:07,229
That was called to the mountain.
507
00:25:07,248 --> 00:25:10,749
He kept hearing about
the legends and so forth.
508
00:25:10,901 --> 00:25:13,252
He's been investigating it
for many, many years.
509
00:25:13,404 --> 00:25:15,571
Yeah, I've-I've read his books.
510
00:25:15,664 --> 00:25:17,515
And so, you went
to mount shasta, too,
511
00:25:17,742 --> 00:25:21,001
Because of these strange
disappearances, huh?
512
00:25:21,095 --> 00:25:23,579
Absolutely. What's interesting
about this to me is that maybe
513
00:25:23,597 --> 00:25:25,005
It's a case of some kind of
514
00:25:25,024 --> 00:25:26,098
Interdimensional portal
opening up.
515
00:25:26,192 --> 00:25:29,026
This is a very mysterious
part of the world,
516
00:25:29,253 --> 00:25:31,177
Northern california,
where giants were there,
517
00:25:31,197 --> 00:25:33,939
Star people, lost civilizations.
518
00:25:34,033 --> 00:25:35,032
It's magical.
519
00:25:38,612 --> 00:25:40,371
Narrator:
In November 2020,
520
00:25:40,598 --> 00:25:43,541
William henry traveled
to weed, california,
521
00:25:43,768 --> 00:25:46,785
To investigate firsthand
if he could document
522
00:25:46,879 --> 00:25:49,863
Any evidence to help explain
the many ufo sightings,
523
00:25:49,882 --> 00:25:54,218
Baffling disappearances, and
encounters with strange beings
524
00:25:54,445 --> 00:25:57,537
That have been reported
at mount shasta.
525
00:25:57,557 --> 00:26:00,206
And also to explore
the incredible notion
526
00:26:00,226 --> 00:26:02,117
That the mountain might actually
527
00:26:02,136 --> 00:26:05,470
Contain a portal
through space and time.
528
00:26:05,623 --> 00:26:08,457
-Hi, dustin. I'm william henry.
-Hi, william. Glad to meet you.
529
00:26:08,475 --> 00:26:11,810
Local author dustin naef
has spent years
530
00:26:11,962 --> 00:26:14,905
Investigating the mysteries
of mount shasta.
531
00:26:15,057 --> 00:26:18,742
One story that I think I'm most
excited and interested in
532
00:26:18,894 --> 00:26:21,153
Is these light beings
that are also described
533
00:26:21,305 --> 00:26:23,639
As living within mount shasta.
534
00:26:23,657 --> 00:26:27,400
Can we now tie that
into mu or lemuria?
535
00:26:27,420 --> 00:26:29,995
Yeah, there's a lot of,
you know, supporting evidence,
536
00:26:30,147 --> 00:26:32,572
And I-I think there's
something to the stories.
537
00:26:32,666 --> 00:26:35,167
Lemuria is a civilization
538
00:26:35,261 --> 00:26:38,411
That was quite an advanced
civilization for its time.
539
00:26:38,431 --> 00:26:41,432
And it existed somewhere
540
00:26:41,659 --> 00:26:43,992
Off the pacific coast
of north america.
541
00:26:45,179 --> 00:26:49,348
Narrator:
The existence of a lost
continent named lemuria
542
00:26:49,442 --> 00:26:53,611
Was first proposed by zoologist
philip sclater in 1864.
543
00:26:54,780 --> 00:26:57,931
Curiously, this theory
is corroborated
544
00:26:58,025 --> 00:27:01,844
By the ancient oral traditions
of the native hawaiian people,
545
00:27:01,862 --> 00:27:04,680
Which say that the pacific
islands of the region
546
00:27:04,698 --> 00:27:06,790
Were once part
of a giant continent,
547
00:27:07,017 --> 00:27:09,460
One that was home
to a highly advanced,
548
00:27:09,611 --> 00:27:12,112
Otherworldly civilization.
549
00:27:12,131 --> 00:27:14,948
We do know that there were
some people who got lost,
550
00:27:15,042 --> 00:27:17,709
And this is who we call
the mu or the lemurian people
551
00:27:17,862 --> 00:27:18,969
You might refer to.
552
00:27:20,139 --> 00:27:23,215
They existed at one time,
and then we lost them
553
00:27:23,309 --> 00:27:25,534
Under the ocean.
554
00:27:25,552 --> 00:27:27,386
Mitch horowitz:
In the 19th century,
555
00:27:27,538 --> 00:27:30,797
There were various occult
and esoteric writers,
556
00:27:30,816 --> 00:27:33,651
Including madame h.P. Blavatsky,
557
00:27:33,802 --> 00:27:36,136
Who identified lemuria
558
00:27:36,155 --> 00:27:38,805
As this primordial
human civilization.
559
00:27:38,824 --> 00:27:41,141
And the idea was that some of
560
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:44,328
Humanity's hidden and occult
roots could be traced back
561
00:27:44,555 --> 00:27:47,164
To this so-called
continent of lemuria.
562
00:27:48,167 --> 00:27:51,076
Pope:
Mount shasta ties in
563
00:27:51,228 --> 00:27:55,655
To the idea of
the lost continent of lemuria.
564
00:27:55,749 --> 00:27:57,174
They were thought to be
565
00:27:57,401 --> 00:28:00,252
Very technologically advanced
ancestors.
566
00:28:00,404 --> 00:28:03,180
Maybe gods,
maybe extraterrestrials.
567
00:28:04,425 --> 00:28:07,333
Whoever these people were,
568
00:28:07,428 --> 00:28:09,669
Some calamity befell them.
569
00:28:09,689 --> 00:28:12,189
And the legend is
570
00:28:12,340 --> 00:28:15,267
That the survivors
of this cataclysm
571
00:28:15,419 --> 00:28:17,528
Took refuge in mount shasta.
572
00:28:21,016 --> 00:28:22,925
Narrator:
Could there really have been
573
00:28:22,943 --> 00:28:25,018
A highly advanced
civilization that existed
574
00:28:25,037 --> 00:28:27,763
On earth thousands of years ago?
575
00:28:27,856 --> 00:28:30,766
And, if so,
could there be any truth
576
00:28:30,784 --> 00:28:32,876
To the notion
that they took refuge
577
00:28:33,028 --> 00:28:36,547
From a devastating cataclysm
in the caves of mount shasta?
578
00:28:37,717 --> 00:28:40,718
One man who was
convinced the story was true
579
00:28:40,869 --> 00:28:43,111
Was prospector j.C. Brown,
580
00:28:43,130 --> 00:28:44,871
Who, in the early 20th century,
581
00:28:44,890 --> 00:28:47,558
Made it his mission
to find the proof.
582
00:28:49,119 --> 00:28:50,877
You know, j.C. Brown
583
00:28:50,896 --> 00:28:52,730
Became really enamored
584
00:28:52,881 --> 00:28:54,898
With the theories
of lemuria and mu.
585
00:28:55,050 --> 00:28:57,292
-Mm-hmm.
-J.C. Brown claims
to have been up here
586
00:28:57,311 --> 00:29:00,220
In 1906 prospecting for gold
587
00:29:00,239 --> 00:29:02,814
When he accidentally unearthed
588
00:29:02,908 --> 00:29:06,301
A tunnel which he describes
as a man-made tunnel.
589
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:08,987
And about a couple miles in,
590
00:29:09,139 --> 00:29:13,141
He found what he describes
as some kind of, uh, reliquary
591
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:16,587
Containing all kinds of records
of a lost civilization,
592
00:29:16,738 --> 00:29:20,482
And he describes
finding the bodies
593
00:29:20,501 --> 00:29:22,909
-Of mummified giants.
-Wow.
594
00:29:22,928 --> 00:29:26,079
And one of the things
miners did was they would mark
595
00:29:26,098 --> 00:29:28,991
The environment
with, uh, symbols.
596
00:29:29,009 --> 00:29:31,009
-Mm-hmm.
-And there's a place
597
00:29:31,161 --> 00:29:32,936
Not far from mount shasta
598
00:29:33,088 --> 00:29:35,347
Where I've found
a whole collection
599
00:29:35,499 --> 00:29:38,609
Of these glyphs that
have been carved into rocks.
600
00:29:40,671 --> 00:29:42,446
We know they were made sometime
601
00:29:42,597 --> 00:29:45,357
Between the early 1900s
and the 1940s.
602
00:29:45,451 --> 00:29:48,527
-Mm-hmm.
-And that would have been
the period of time
603
00:29:48,679 --> 00:29:51,121
That j.C. Brown would have been
up in this area
604
00:29:51,273 --> 00:29:53,682
Looking around for things.
605
00:29:53,775 --> 00:29:57,185
Henry:
This reminds me of, uh, in-in
rennes-le-château in France,
606
00:29:57,204 --> 00:29:58,796
Northwest arkansas, oak island,
607
00:29:58,947 --> 00:30:01,114
We find similar
kind of symbols appearing
608
00:30:01,208 --> 00:30:02,966
In these various places
609
00:30:03,118 --> 00:30:05,636
Associated with
treasuries, deposits.
610
00:30:05,787 --> 00:30:08,363
And then this looks like...
Almost like two peaks or a peak
611
00:30:08,382 --> 00:30:10,456
Within a peak, like he's trying
to point you inward
612
00:30:10,551 --> 00:30:11,958
Into the mountain almost.
613
00:30:11,977 --> 00:30:14,127
There's an interesting
twist to this story.
614
00:30:14,146 --> 00:30:16,980
About 30 years later,
615
00:30:17,132 --> 00:30:20,058
J.C. Brown, uh,
returned to stockton,
616
00:30:20,210 --> 00:30:24,062
And his intention
was to raise an expedition
617
00:30:24,156 --> 00:30:27,732
To go back up to this site
and catalog what he found.
618
00:30:27,827 --> 00:30:31,403
And he raised a party
of about 80 different people,
619
00:30:31,555 --> 00:30:33,980
And on the day that
they were supposed to depart
620
00:30:33,999 --> 00:30:36,500
To go up to this site,
621
00:30:36,651 --> 00:30:39,077
Um, he just
mysteriously vanished.
622
00:30:39,171 --> 00:30:41,063
He just vanishes?
623
00:30:41,081 --> 00:30:42,655
Yeah, no one ever
heard from him again.
624
00:30:42,749 --> 00:30:44,007
I wonder if there could be
625
00:30:44,159 --> 00:30:46,568
Some advanced
ancient technology
626
00:30:46,587 --> 00:30:48,328
That he didn't fully understand
627
00:30:48,347 --> 00:30:50,496
Associated with portals,
628
00:30:50,516 --> 00:30:53,350
The light beings,
and that sort of thing.
629
00:30:53,501 --> 00:30:57,262
So there are actual tunnels
that we can access today?
630
00:30:57,356 --> 00:30:59,356
Yeah, I can take you to
a place called pluto's cave
631
00:30:59,507 --> 00:31:00,916
Where people report
and experience
632
00:31:00,934 --> 00:31:03,343
A lot of this phenomena
that we've been talking about.
633
00:31:03,437 --> 00:31:10,275
Fantastic. Let's go.
634
00:31:10,369 --> 00:31:12,703
Dustin is very intrigued,
as I am, about the lava tubes
635
00:31:12,930 --> 00:31:15,038
That run underneath shasta that
extend into the inner earth.
636
00:31:15,265 --> 00:31:18,041
But we went into
the pluto cave-- this lava tube.
637
00:31:18,268 --> 00:31:20,619
-It's about 20 miles
from mount shasta.
-Okay.
638
00:31:20,713 --> 00:31:22,546
-Childress: Okay, so...
-So these extend for miles.
639
00:31:22,697 --> 00:31:24,773
And how big is the tube?
I mean...
640
00:31:24,866 --> 00:31:25,957
Yeah, were you able
to stand upright?
641
00:31:26,110 --> 00:31:27,533
Henry: No. This was one
was huge. I mean,
642
00:31:27,553 --> 00:31:28,793
These are giant caverns.
643
00:31:28,888 --> 00:31:31,555
-Really?
-And this-- the pluto cave--
massive.
644
00:31:31,706 --> 00:31:33,206
-You could drive
a truck through there.
-Really?
645
00:31:33,225 --> 00:31:35,283
-Childress: Okay. Wow.
-Absolutely.
646
00:31:35,302 --> 00:31:37,636
-That's interesting.
-Childress: And people around
there think that if you find
647
00:31:37,730 --> 00:31:39,229
The right lava lube
or something, you can get
648
00:31:39,381 --> 00:31:41,957
Into this city and into...
649
00:31:42,050 --> 00:31:44,693
-Inside mount shasta.
-Exactly. Right.
650
00:31:47,147 --> 00:31:49,055
Narrator:
In November 2020,
651
00:31:49,074 --> 00:31:52,817
William henry along with
author dustin naef...
652
00:31:52,912 --> 00:31:55,412
-Naef: It's down this path here.
-...Set out to explore what is
653
00:31:55,639 --> 00:31:57,730
Known as pluto's cave
several miles north
654
00:31:57,750 --> 00:31:58,898
Of mount shasta.
655
00:31:58,992 --> 00:32:01,810
Henry:
That is just spectacular.
656
00:32:01,828 --> 00:32:04,737
Narrator:
It is here where
numerous eyewitnesses
657
00:32:04,757 --> 00:32:07,832
Claim to have encountered
mysterious beings...
658
00:32:07,927 --> 00:32:10,318
As well as seen evidence
659
00:32:10,412 --> 00:32:13,263
Of possible
interdimensional portals.
660
00:32:15,659 --> 00:32:18,769
Pluto's cave is one
of several natural wonders,
661
00:32:18,996 --> 00:32:21,939
Known as lava tubes,
that crisscross the region.
662
00:32:23,183 --> 00:32:26,685
Schoch:
Mount shasta
is a volcanic mountain.
663
00:32:26,837 --> 00:32:29,688
So volcanic lava tubes
are formed
664
00:32:29,782 --> 00:32:32,841
When you have fast-flowing lava.
665
00:32:32,859 --> 00:32:36,194
And it cools
on the surface of the flow,
666
00:32:36,288 --> 00:32:38,455
So it actually builds a crust,
667
00:32:38,682 --> 00:32:42,275
But the lava continues
to flow in the middle,
668
00:32:42,294 --> 00:32:45,629
And it forms literally a tube.
669
00:32:45,856 --> 00:32:48,448
And these tubes, in some cases,
are very small.
670
00:32:48,542 --> 00:32:50,709
They might
only be a few feet across.
671
00:32:50,803 --> 00:32:52,527
In other cases,
672
00:32:52,620 --> 00:32:55,288
They've been documented
to be 50 feet across.
673
00:32:55,307 --> 00:32:59,142
And some of them
have been documented to be
674
00:32:59,369 --> 00:33:03,730
Not just miles long
but tens of miles long.
675
00:33:09,379 --> 00:33:10,654
Henry:
Check it out, man.
676
00:33:13,383 --> 00:33:14,408
Awesome.
677
00:33:17,054 --> 00:33:18,978
Awesome.
678
00:33:20,315 --> 00:33:23,575
Naef:
So almost all of the mythology
and legends around the place--
679
00:33:23,669 --> 00:33:26,411
It all takes place underground
in the caves and tunnels
680
00:33:26,505 --> 00:33:28,463
Which surround the area.
681
00:33:29,583 --> 00:33:31,341
If you were able
to look underground,
682
00:33:31,493 --> 00:33:32,417
You would just see tunnels
683
00:33:32,569 --> 00:33:35,328
Radiating out
in every direction.
684
00:33:35,347 --> 00:33:37,739
There are actually
native-authored stories
685
00:33:37,758 --> 00:33:39,758
That you could travel
clear into oregon
686
00:33:39,910 --> 00:33:41,435
Completely underground.
687
00:33:42,521 --> 00:33:44,855
Henry:
Yeah. Look at that, dustin.
688
00:33:45,082 --> 00:33:48,083
That's awesome.
Beautiful skylight.
689
00:33:48,176 --> 00:33:52,087
-Naef: This almost makes
like an eye-like symbol.
-Henry: Absolutely. Do you think
690
00:33:52,105 --> 00:33:55,090
-J.C. Brown might have
discovered a cave like this?
-Yeah.
691
00:33:55,183 --> 00:33:57,108
If it was in this area,
it would be very similar
692
00:33:57,261 --> 00:33:58,518
To the cave we're in now.
693
00:33:58,612 --> 00:34:00,929
There's a really big
subculture here
694
00:34:01,022 --> 00:34:03,373
In mount shasta
that has always believed that
695
00:34:03,525 --> 00:34:07,544
These caves and tunnels
contain a civilization
696
00:34:07,695 --> 00:34:10,714
Full of people
just like you and I.
697
00:34:10,941 --> 00:34:13,625
And they come
back and forth through portals
698
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:15,293
Hidden in these caves.
699
00:34:15,387 --> 00:34:17,554
I've had people actually
700
00:34:17,781 --> 00:34:20,131
Contact me and tell me
they've seen people
701
00:34:20,225 --> 00:34:23,635
In this very cave walk right
into a wall and vanish.
702
00:34:23,787 --> 00:34:25,136
What-what were
these people like?
703
00:34:25,230 --> 00:34:26,621
What did they look like?
704
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:27,972
They look just like us.
705
00:34:29,217 --> 00:34:31,459
That's how they're able
to travel back and forth
706
00:34:31,478 --> 00:34:33,628
And mingle with humans.
707
00:34:33,647 --> 00:34:35,072
Wow.
708
00:34:37,317 --> 00:34:39,634
Narrator:
One of the most famous reports
709
00:34:39,653 --> 00:34:42,637
Of a being emerging
from within mount shasta
710
00:34:42,730 --> 00:34:46,065
Was made in 1930
by guy warren ballard.
711
00:34:46,085 --> 00:34:49,920
Ballard, a mining engineer
who worked in the area,
712
00:34:50,071 --> 00:34:53,406
Claimed he was surveying
the slopes of the mountain
713
00:34:53,425 --> 00:34:56,760
When he encountered
a mysterious, glowing figure.
714
00:34:58,263 --> 00:35:01,264
Guy reported that when
he was hiking on mount shasta
715
00:35:01,491 --> 00:35:04,159
In the early 1930s,
716
00:35:04,252 --> 00:35:06,770
He encountered
some extraordinary,
717
00:35:06,997 --> 00:35:08,663
Mysterious teacher,
718
00:35:08,756 --> 00:35:12,109
Which he later identified
as the ascended master.
719
00:35:13,612 --> 00:35:17,339
Young:
This is a radiant being
dressed in white.
720
00:35:17,432 --> 00:35:20,600
And they get into
a long conversation.
721
00:35:20,694 --> 00:35:22,953
And this teacher, this guru,
722
00:35:23,180 --> 00:35:26,197
This otherworldly character
teaches ballard
723
00:35:26,291 --> 00:35:28,350
The secrets of enlightenment.
724
00:35:28,443 --> 00:35:31,536
Narrator:
For ancient astronaut theorists,
725
00:35:31,688 --> 00:35:33,964
Ballard's description
of a radiant being
726
00:35:34,191 --> 00:35:36,708
Is reminiscent
of accounts from ancient times
727
00:35:36,802 --> 00:35:39,527
Of similarly luminous figures.
728
00:35:40,622 --> 00:35:43,473
In irish legend, we learn
of the tuatha dé danann,
729
00:35:43,625 --> 00:35:45,700
Or the tua dé dán.
730
00:35:45,793 --> 00:35:47,644
These are luminous
humanoid beings
731
00:35:47,871 --> 00:35:50,038
Who are considered
to be beings of immense wisdom
732
00:35:50,131 --> 00:35:52,649
Who are also called
the shining ones.
733
00:35:54,044 --> 00:35:57,154
Narrator:
Similar to the shining ones
of the celtic tradition,
734
00:35:57,381 --> 00:36:00,064
The ancient sumerian gods,
known as the anunnaki,
735
00:36:00,217 --> 00:36:02,993
Were also described
as glowing figures.
736
00:36:04,312 --> 00:36:07,480
Might these accounts, including
those made about mount shasta,
737
00:36:07,499 --> 00:36:09,891
Be true?
738
00:36:09,984 --> 00:36:12,669
If so, can william henry
find any evidence
739
00:36:12,896 --> 00:36:14,820
To help verify them?
740
00:36:14,915 --> 00:36:16,915
If you look on the usgs charts,
741
00:36:17,067 --> 00:36:19,325
There's an immense
negative magnetic anomaly
742
00:36:19,419 --> 00:36:21,419
That surrounds mount shasta.
743
00:36:21,571 --> 00:36:23,680
Henry:
That's the ley line
they describe here, right?
744
00:36:23,831 --> 00:36:26,016
Naef:
Yeah, a lot of psychic
and paranormal phenomena
745
00:36:26,243 --> 00:36:29,853
Actually occurs in places
that have magnetic anomalies.
746
00:36:30,004 --> 00:36:32,414
And used as a, as a portal
747
00:36:32,432 --> 00:36:36,193
Between the inner
earth realm and the stars?
748
00:36:36,420 --> 00:36:39,921
Yeah, yeah. It... Anything
capable of generating
749
00:36:40,014 --> 00:36:42,657
Energy like that
could be a portal.
750
00:36:45,095 --> 00:36:47,204
Narrator:
Some theoretical
physicists believe
751
00:36:47,431 --> 00:36:50,432
That strong variations
of electromagnetic fields
752
00:36:50,450 --> 00:36:52,191
May create areas that give rise
753
00:36:52,285 --> 00:36:54,436
To exotic phenomena
754
00:36:54,454 --> 00:36:57,297
Like portals
through space and time.
755
00:37:00,627 --> 00:37:04,112
There appears to be, in nature,
756
00:37:04,205 --> 00:37:08,132
The possibility
of crossing thresholds
757
00:37:08,227 --> 00:37:11,043
Of energy, of vorticity,
758
00:37:11,063 --> 00:37:12,812
Of electromagnetic phenomenon...
759
00:37:14,458 --> 00:37:15,807
...That can perhaps
760
00:37:15,901 --> 00:37:18,718
Open up portals in space-time
761
00:37:18,737 --> 00:37:21,905
That we never would
have thought possible.
762
00:37:28,229 --> 00:37:30,062
This is, uh,
where I've seen people
763
00:37:30,156 --> 00:37:32,082
-Get readings before.
-Okay.
764
00:37:32,309 --> 00:37:34,584
Well, let's take a look.
See what we got.
765
00:37:34,736 --> 00:37:37,145
I brought my meter with me
just to see
766
00:37:37,238 --> 00:37:40,257
If we can detect
any magnetic energy here.
767
00:37:41,501 --> 00:37:44,344
Okay. It's jumping all over.
768
00:37:46,156 --> 00:37:48,181
Got some movement here.
769
00:37:56,591 --> 00:37:57,757
All right.
We got a reading here.
770
00:37:57,776 --> 00:37:58,666
Very interesting.
771
00:37:58,760 --> 00:38:00,277
Narrator: Several miles north
772
00:38:00,428 --> 00:38:03,095
In northern california,
william henry
773
00:38:03,115 --> 00:38:05,523
And author dustin naef have just
774
00:38:05,617 --> 00:38:09,694
Detected a mysterious energy
spike in pluto's cave,
775
00:38:09,846 --> 00:38:12,104
A giant lava tube
connected to the mountain.
776
00:38:13,125 --> 00:38:15,959
Yeah, we're getting
a lot of movement here
777
00:38:16,110 --> 00:38:17,961
On the magnetic side.
778
00:38:18,188 --> 00:38:19,796
I can personally feel it,
and then now we got
779
00:38:20,023 --> 00:38:21,523
The readings here
that are backing that up.
780
00:38:21,616 --> 00:38:24,025
And sensitive psychic people
781
00:38:24,044 --> 00:38:26,636
Could follow that line,
follow the trail
782
00:38:26,788 --> 00:38:30,048
-Where, wherever it leads.
-Yeah, a lot of psychic
783
00:38:30,142 --> 00:38:33,292
And paranormal phenomena
actually occurs in places
784
00:38:33,312 --> 00:38:36,054
-That have magnetic anomalies.
-Right.
785
00:38:36,206 --> 00:38:38,148
Naef:
Mount shasta,
786
00:38:38,375 --> 00:38:41,300
It's basically made
of a type of, um, geology
787
00:38:41,394 --> 00:38:43,320
That conducts electricity.
788
00:38:43,471 --> 00:38:46,656
And if you were to look
underneath mount shasta,
789
00:38:46,883 --> 00:38:50,234
You would find reservoirs
of churning water,
790
00:38:50,329 --> 00:38:53,738
Just millions and millions
of gallons of water,
791
00:38:53,832 --> 00:38:55,981
Just churning.
792
00:38:56,001 --> 00:38:58,076
And that creates energy.
793
00:38:58,170 --> 00:38:59,669
And that's one of the theories
about the pyramid...
794
00:39:01,173 --> 00:39:03,823
...Is that the tunnels
were used as conduits for water,
795
00:39:03,842 --> 00:39:06,343
That the pyramid is
a power plant and somehow
796
00:39:06,494 --> 00:39:08,753
Water was used
to facilitate that.
797
00:39:08,905 --> 00:39:11,848
Naef:
Exactly. But the same thing is
happening here at mount shasta.
798
00:39:12,075 --> 00:39:14,258
It's just being driven
by natural forces.
799
00:39:14,353 --> 00:39:16,578
So that could explain,
if the pyramid is a machine,
800
00:39:16,671 --> 00:39:18,580
Which is the way
they describe it,
801
00:39:18,673 --> 00:39:20,023
That would explain how people
802
00:39:20,174 --> 00:39:22,341
Can come and go
from mount shasta.
803
00:39:22,361 --> 00:39:24,085
It's like
an interdimensional portal.
804
00:39:24,104 --> 00:39:26,588
Naef:
I-it does go
a long ways to explain
805
00:39:26,606 --> 00:39:28,365
The energy people feel up here.
806
00:39:28,516 --> 00:39:31,701
Because it's a...
Basically an energetic site.
807
00:39:33,205 --> 00:39:36,021
So now that you've returned
from mount shasta,
808
00:39:36,041 --> 00:39:38,541
Did you come to any conclusions?
809
00:39:38,693 --> 00:39:42,528
In the end, I really don't have
a conclusion about mount shasta.
810
00:39:42,547 --> 00:39:44,214
For me, it's a beginning
811
00:39:44,365 --> 00:39:47,717
Because I realize
how much is going on there.
812
00:39:47,869 --> 00:39:49,535
You've got the portal aspect,
you've got the light beings,
813
00:39:49,629 --> 00:39:51,054
You've got the ufos,
814
00:39:51,205 --> 00:39:54,206
You've got the natural geologic
possibilities that are there.
815
00:39:54,300 --> 00:39:55,207
And you've got lemuria.
816
00:39:55,301 --> 00:39:56,559
What makes mount shasta
817
00:39:56,711 --> 00:39:59,378
Fascinating to me
are the questions.
818
00:39:59,398 --> 00:40:01,973
Because clearly there are
so many stories,
819
00:40:02,067 --> 00:40:03,400
So many legends,
820
00:40:03,551 --> 00:40:05,568
So many events
821
00:40:05,720 --> 00:40:08,071
That have been
witnessed by people.
822
00:40:08,222 --> 00:40:11,299
Something clearly
is happening there.
823
00:40:11,392 --> 00:40:13,559
You've got
all this lore and stories
824
00:40:13,578 --> 00:40:15,136
That's coming out of it.
825
00:40:15,155 --> 00:40:17,414
It is rooted
in eyewitness accounts,
826
00:40:17,641 --> 00:40:19,732
It's rooted
in historical accounts,
827
00:40:19,751 --> 00:40:21,751
It's not the stuff of legend.
828
00:40:21,903 --> 00:40:25,647
It's tremendously exciting that
this is in our own backyard.
829
00:40:25,740 --> 00:40:28,425
It's not peru
or the amazon or egypt.
830
00:40:28,652 --> 00:40:30,593
I-it's right here
in northern california.
831
00:40:30,745 --> 00:40:34,097
And what's interesting here,
too, is we have all the stories
832
00:40:34,248 --> 00:40:37,341
Going into antiquity
and-and beginning of time,
833
00:40:37,494 --> 00:40:39,769
But this is something
that's still going on.
834
00:40:39,921 --> 00:40:43,088
Well, gentlemen, this has been
a fascinating conversation,
835
00:40:43,108 --> 00:40:45,942
And this is what science
836
00:40:46,169 --> 00:40:48,761
And the ancient astronaut theory
is all about:
837
00:40:48,780 --> 00:40:50,262
The investigation.
838
00:40:50,356 --> 00:40:53,675
Because, sure, one could just
dismiss the whole thing and say,
839
00:40:53,693 --> 00:40:55,768
"oh, come on. It's nothing."
840
00:40:55,787 --> 00:40:59,772
But something clearly
is happening at mount shasta.
841
00:40:59,791 --> 00:41:03,685
And I think that this merits
even further investigation
842
00:41:03,703 --> 00:41:08,039
Because what if
mount shasta is part
843
00:41:08,133 --> 00:41:11,283
Of this giant riddle
that we're all investigating?
844
00:41:11,303 --> 00:41:13,303
