Giants? Do you want star people? 40 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,000 Do you want lost civilizations? It all converges at Shasta. 41 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:51,000 And everyone who lives in that area is familiar with these stories. 42 00:02:53,000 --> 00:03:00,000 Rising to an elevation of 14,179 feet, Mount Shasta in Northern California 43 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:06,000 lies at an intriguing crossroads of folklore, geology and the paranormal. 44 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:11,000 This majestic peak, which is also a dormant volcano, 45 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:18,000 features breathtaking waterfalls, pristine lakes and spectacular alpine vistas 46 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:22,000 that attract more than 26,000 visitors each year. 47 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,000 But the Native Americans who are indigenous to this area 48 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:34,000 warn that Mount Shasta is as dangerous as it is beautiful and for very unnatural reasons. 49 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:40,000 For centuries, the mountain has been known as a place where people report strange events 50 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:49,000 in the sky, encounter terrifying creatures and sometimes have even vanished without a trace. 51 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:59,000 Mount Shasta is a location where there are multiple strange events taking place. 52 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:07,000 UFO sightings, paranormal events, strange disappearances. 53 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:16,000 The go back throughout history and indeed one can look to certain Native American legends, for example, 54 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:24,000 to say that Mount Shasta has always been associated with strange goings on. 55 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:30,000 There's things around in this mountain here that people are really unaware of. 56 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:34,000 Some people don't even want to believe it. But I believe it because I see it. 57 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,000 I've witnessed it. 58 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:45,000 Local Native American tribes, such as the Shasta, Wintoo, Modak and Karak 59 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:49,000 have inhabited the area dating back as much as 12 centuries. 60 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:55,000 Each revere Mount Shasta as a place that possesses mystical powers. 61 00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:02,000 I was told by my grandmother and grandfather that we didn't go up on the tree line. 62 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:09,000 That belongs to grandfather up there. So I try to stay as far away as I can. 63 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,000 There was a Native American author there, Lucy Thompson, 1916. 64 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:22,000 She writes a book all about the Native American legends of the star people, all that activity at Mount Shasta. 65 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:27,000 And this isn't some like kooky book or something. She's writing the history of her people, the Yurok tribe. 66 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:34,000 All these legends are incredible. And this has been going on at Mount Shasta for hundreds of years. 67 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:39,000 So can we attribute all these legends to mere coincidence? That's the big question. 68 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:40,000 I don't think so. 69 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:44,000 Another layer to this mystery is that Shasta is very close to Petroglyph Point, 70 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:49,000 where we find some of what are considered to be some of the oldest Petroglyphs in North America. 71 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:56,000 60 miles northeast of Mount Shasta, at Lava Beds National Monument, 72 00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:00,000 a curious record of Native American traditions can be found. 73 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:11,000 Hundreds of stone carvings, known as Petroglyphs, that were created as much as 6,000 years ago by ancestors of the Modoc tribe. 74 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:19,000 The Lava Beds Petroglyphs include ancient calendars, depictions of animals, humans, 75 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:24,000 and celestial beings also referred to as sky people. 76 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:32,000 In various Native American traditions, we have different spiritual beings located on these sort of different planes of existence. 77 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:38,000 And there's a wonderful range of stories in many, many Native American groups that talk about some of the adventures 78 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:42,000 and interactions with the sky people, with the humans on Earth. 79 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:50,000 One of the Petroglyphs depicts a large winged creature emerging from inside of Mount Shasta. 80 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:59,000 It is believed to represent a sky being, who the Modoc people worship as their creator known as Skel. 81 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:11,000 The local people believe that in ancient times, the great sky chief Skel came down from the sky to live in Shasta 82 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,000 and has been there ever since and protects it. 83 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:27,000 Could this Petroglyph of Skel be, as some believe, an actual depiction of an extraterrestrial being that the Modoc people encountered centuries ago? 84 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:37,000 So we know there's been humans going through this area for a long time in creating these Petroglyphs with these mystery teachings on it. 85 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:43,000 So it's got all of that mythology attached to it and has all kinds of UFO sightings as well. 86 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:48,000 Certain mountains are associated with UFOs and Mount Shasta is definitely one of them. 87 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:55,000 It's interesting to me that we have modern accounts of UFO sightings, for example, right here at Mount Shasta. 88 00:07:55,000 --> 00:08:06,000 But what's fascinating to me is that there are many, many ancient stories of so-called UFO encounters that we consider today UFO encounters. 89 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:11,000 Right? And are UFOs typically seen kind of coming from the top, the crater of Mount Shasta and going up? 90 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:15,000 Or are they coming out of the side? What are the beliefs there? 91 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:22,000 From all over. It's like they're coming out of the mountain or they're seen hovering above it. It's very strange. 92 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:35,000 Over the past century, there have been more than 50 reports of UFO sightings around Mount Shasta, with an increasing number in just the last decade. 93 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:40,000 Almost everyone who lives there has seen something unusual. 94 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:46,000 One of the most remarkable UFO sightings I've heard of took place in 2008. 95 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:58,000 Witnesses in the town of McLeod saw a UFO that looked like a giant glowing jellyfish, move over the town and then fly off into the distance. 96 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:08,000 I was driving back from Clamah Falls around 7, 6.37 in the evening and in summertime. 97 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:16,000 All of a sudden, I looked up on the mountain and I seen the whole mountain toward Wairoika side open up. 98 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:21,000 And then this big ship came and sat there and hovered for a minute and then went right in. 99 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:27,000 And the next thing you know, the mountain closed and I was like, what is going on? 100 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:33,000 I never let things like that bother me, though. I've seen things like that all the time. 101 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:45,000 And you know what's interesting about it too is that the Native Americans, there was a group of spiritual beings called the Waga that first came to Shasta and started instructing the local Native Americans. 102 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:50,000 And they told the story that there were giants that lived in Mount Shasta. 103 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:54,000 Giants are often associated with the stories of Bigfoot. 104 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:55,000 Absolutely. 105 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,000 And Mount Shasta is also famous for Bigfoot sightings. 106 00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:58,000 Yes, it is. 107 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:10,000 In fact, the earliest really popular sightings of Bigfoot and where the name Bigfoot comes from is from Northern California and around Redding. 108 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,000 Giants? Bigfoot? 109 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:21,000 Incredibly, similar stories have been reported in this area for hundreds of years. 110 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:36,000 And in October 1930, several newspapers detailed the discovery of a mysteriously large humanoid skeleton in the town of Redding, 60 miles south of Mount Shasta. 111 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:43,000 There are traditions of giants linked with Mount Shasta, which absolutely fascinate me. 112 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:49,000 And one of these goes back quite a long way and it's part of the Madoch tribe who are kind of part of this area. 113 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:59,000 And they say the sky spirit's daughter was abducted by a bear and she actually gave birth to a race of giants. 114 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:06,000 Some people suggest that these are actually hairy beast, such what? Like beings connected with Mount Shasta. 115 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:15,000 So you've got this convergence of these stories of massive UFO sightings, giants, star beings. 116 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,000 This is like a hotbed area up here. It is incredible. 117 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:25,000 Native Americans in that area around Mount Shasta warn people of the number of disappearances that have taken place up there. 118 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:30,000 So Mount Shasta is one of these hot spots for disappearing people then? 119 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:31,000 Exactly. 120 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:43,000 Native Americans in that area around Mount Shasta say that the area above the tree line is sacred and they warn people do not go up there. 121 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:44,000 Is that so? 122 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:50,000 Right, which makes it not surprising to learn of the number of disappearances that have taken place up there. 123 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:54,000 So Mount Shasta is one of these hot spots for disappearing people then? 124 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:55,000 Exactly. 125 00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:00,000 Yes, Siskiu County is the location that Carl disappeared in. 126 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:08,000 Since 2009, former police detective Dave Politis has been applying his professional investigative training, 127 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:13,000 attempting to solve mysterious missing persons cases all around the country. 128 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:24,000 In 10 plus years, I've looked at over 5,000 search and rescue cases and in those 1,200 are unexplained. 129 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:31,000 And I mean that cases of possible animal predation have been vetted out. 130 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:36,000 Incidents of mental health, suicide were vetted out. 131 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:42,000 And what you're left with is a complete void of rational explanation. 132 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:49,000 The area around Mount Shasta has many unusual disappearances. 133 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:58,000 One of the most baffling disappearances that Dave has been focusing on was reported on Mount Shasta in 1999. 134 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:11,000 On May 25th, three experienced hikers, Carl Landers, Milt Gaines and Barry Gilmore, set off from Mount Shasta's Bunny Flat trailhead towards the summit. 135 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:17,000 The guys got up to a place called 5050. 136 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:23,000 It was a place where hikers that wanted to summit would either camp there at the next stop called Lake Helen for the night. 137 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,000 The next morning they get up, the winds howling. 138 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:35,000 The guys were putting the tent together and were stashing it for their climb and they saw that Carl was looking cold. 139 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:39,000 And so they said, hey, why don't you go to Lake Helen's and we'll meet you there. 140 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,000 And Carl took off walking. 141 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:51,000 Shortly after Carl left the 5050 campsite, Milt and Barry followed. 142 00:13:53,000 --> 00:14:01,000 But when they arrived at Lake Helen just 650 feet away, Carl was nowhere to be found. 143 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:09,000 Milt Gaines, Carl's partner, got there and he didn't see Carl. 144 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:17,000 And now he's confused because there's no place between 5050 and Lake Helen to disappear. 145 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,000 There's no obstructions. You're above Timberline. 146 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,000 There's no big, huge boulders that are going to get in your way. 147 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:27,000 And it's a solid snow field with no crevices. 148 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:36,000 And that started a week-long search and rescue that would rival any anyone knew about. 149 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:45,000 Now one of the things that was done on the Landers case is that they checked with U.S. Geological Survey for seismic activity on the mountain. 150 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:51,000 The reason they did that is that sometimes there's an avalanche of rock 151 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:55,000 and maybe the climber was covered by the rock and you wouldn't find him. 152 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:59,000 Now during the time that Carl was gone, there was no seismic activity. 153 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,000 So they know that Carl wasn't covered by rocks. 154 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:08,000 Remarkably, in the more than 20 years since Carl's disappearance, 155 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:13,000 no one has found any clues that could explain what happened to him. 156 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,000 I don't know how many people have been up avalanche cults. 157 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:23,000 But nothing has been found. No metal ice-axe, no metal crampons, 158 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:31,000 no colorful nylon pack or coat or black pants or plastic boots. Nothing. 159 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:38,000 The search and rescue coordinator on this event was an individual named Griz Adams. 160 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,000 Griz had been doing this for 30-plus years. 161 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:46,000 Griz said, Dave, I guarantee Carl isn't on that mountain. 162 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:51,000 He either went up or he went in, but he isn't on. 163 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,000 Those were his words. 164 00:15:54,000 --> 00:16:01,000 I think that the comment tells you that there were a few options for a rational explanation. 165 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,000 So they never found him, they have no explanation for what happened. 166 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,000 Everyone's just baffled. 167 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:12,000 No, he's hiking up the mountain inside of his friends and suddenly disappears. 168 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:18,000 And do they see him disappear or they just look away and they turn around and he's gone? 169 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:22,000 Typically in those stories, people don't actually see them disappear, 170 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,000 but they're nearby and they never call out for help or anything like that. 171 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,000 Then there's a story about a three-year-old boy. 172 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:32,000 He's camping with his parents on Chasta and he wanders off, disappears. 173 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:39,000 Another very unusual disappearance that Dave Politis investigated near Mount Chasta 174 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:43,000 occurred on September 2nd, 2011. 175 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,000 A three-year-old boy disappeared on a camping trip 176 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:55,000 and he was later found by search and rescue at one of the first places they would have looked, right next to a trail. 177 00:16:55,000 --> 00:17:01,000 One of the first things search and rescue people do is as they're walking down a trail, 178 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,000 they're calling the boy's name. 179 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:12,000 Now if he was near the trail and he heard that, chances are he's going to come and get help 180 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,000 because he'd been out there overnight. 181 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:18,000 So to think that he was next to that trail the whole time is really hard to understand. 182 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:26,000 Another unusual aspect to that story is that this boy told a story of after going missing, 183 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:30,000 he was down in some kind of underground cave. 184 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:41,000 And a woman, but he thought was a robot, was there asking him if he was okay and comfortable. 185 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:46,000 It was all a very strange story, something I've never heard before. 186 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:51,000 While the story may sound like the product of a child's imagination, 187 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:57,000 the search and rescue team could provide no explanation for how the boy went missing for five hours, 188 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,000 only to suddenly turn up right next to the trail. 189 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:07,000 Many people say these disappearances are just accidents, 190 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:13,000 but the idea that somebody disappears in a location where there are UFO sightings 191 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:20,000 and sometimes reports of entities mirrors the idea perhaps of the alien abduction. 192 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:26,000 Is it possible that Karl Landers and others who mysteriously disappeared around 193 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:31,000 Mount Shasta were abducted by extraterrestrial beings? 194 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:36,000 Or might there be an even more profound explanation? 195 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,000 People are still disappearing on Mount Shasta. 196 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:43,000 This is not something that has stopped. 197 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:48,000 And it's an open area where there's not that many places to hide except by going inside the mountain. 198 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:54,000 Absolutely, but once again this affirms the mystery, the strangeness of Mount Shasta 199 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:59,000 and says there's a lot more going on here than we really realize. 200 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,000 People are called to Mount Shasta and they don't know why. 201 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,000 Mount Shasta is also apparently on a major lay line. 202 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:15,000 They're a telluric current of energy going from different grid spots and power spots. 203 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:19,000 What's going on in Mount Shasta is not just in North America. 204 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:25,000 All over the world are these power spot mountains like Mount Shasta. 205 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:30,000 Mount Shasta is sometimes said to be one of the chakras of the planet too. 206 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:37,000 The ancient Sanskrit term chakra refers to energy centers in the human body. 207 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:42,000 In his 1967 book, Earth Chakras, 208 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:47,000 author Robert Kuhn proposed that the planet also has energy centers 209 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:52,000 and that these act as connection points to other worldly dimensions. 210 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,000 His list included Mount Sinai in Egypt, 211 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,000 Mount Kailash in Tibet, 212 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,000 and Mount Shasta. 213 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:06,000 There are traditions of sacred mountains all over the world. 214 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:10,000 This is where the gods came down, started civilization, 215 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:15,000 but it's also thought to be where communication with the gods took place, 216 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:22,000 and potentially where interstellar travel may have taken place between this world and other worlds. 217 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:30,000 It seems that Mount Shasta is on some energy line that's perhaps connected even to Kuzko and Lake Titicaca, 218 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:35,000 the great pyramids, you know, power spots, sacred places. 219 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:39,000 Yeah, it's important to bring up the great pyramid because it reminds me of Mount Shasta. 220 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:40,000 Really? 221 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:41,000 Okay. 222 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:47,000 First of all, it's a volcano, and the word pyramid means fire in the middle. 223 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,000 And underneath the great pyramid are tunnels. 224 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,000 Same thing here at Shasta. 225 00:20:55,000 --> 00:21:02,000 And it makes me think, well, maybe Shasta could have been like the natural origin of the idea of the pyramid as like a power center. 226 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:05,000 But the pyramid is an artificial construction. 227 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,000 A lava tube is not artificial. 228 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:15,000 Exactly what I'm saying is that perhaps the pyramid is kind of like a technological version of a naturally occurring power center like a volcano. 229 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,000 The great pyramid of Giza? 230 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,000 A power center? 231 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,000 Modeled after a volcano like Mount Shasta? 232 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:29,000 In his 1998 book, The Giza Power Plant, 233 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:33,000 renowned master craftsman and engineer Christopher Dunn 234 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:39,000 proposed that the great pyramid was originally designed and functioned as a power plant. 235 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:44,000 Two years later, based on curious erosion patterns within the pyramid, 236 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:49,000 maritime engineer John Cadman lent his support to this theory. 237 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:56,000 In the subterranean chamber, there is some evidence that shows that there had been water present in it. 238 00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:06,000 There's water erosion on the floor and then there's also cavitation damage on the ceiling right above the pit 239 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,000 and that had to have been from a compression wave. 240 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:16,000 Cadman concluded that the great pyramid was a gigantic hydraulic pump 241 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:20,000 that drew water from the nearby Nile River to generate power. 242 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,000 But if the great pyramid functioned as a power plant, 243 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:28,000 what purpose might it have served? 244 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:34,000 Ancient astronaut theorists suggest clues can be found in sacred Egyptian writings. 245 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:42,000 The pyramid text described the ancient Egyptian gods as extraterrestrials coming and going from two places, 246 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,000 Sirius and Orion. 247 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:50,000 The pyramid itself, according to the ancient Egyptians, functioned as an ascension device. 248 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:56,000 So everything that we discover about the great pyramid has to be related to its original function 249 00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:00,000 as a portal to other star systems or other dimensions. 250 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:08,000 Is it possible that the great pyramid was designed by other worldly visitors to function as some kind of portal? 251 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,000 And if so, could there have been others? 252 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:17,000 Interestingly, while the great pyramid is a man-made structure, 253 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:24,000 geologist Dr. Robert Schock has identified compelling similarities that it shares with Mount Shasta. 254 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:31,000 I see many similarities between Mount Shasta geologically 255 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:39,000 and the natural features it's associated with and artificial human-constructed pyramids. 256 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:49,000 Underground flowing water can carry a charge, build up charge in certain areas that can then migrate to the surface 257 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:57,000 along faults and fissures, and in some cases then escape as basically balls of charge. 258 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:03,000 Might the unique geology of Mount Shasta make it the perfect location for alien beings 259 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:09,000 to create a portal to other parts of the universe or even other dimensions? 260 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:17,000 So in a sense it's like an interdimensional portal where beings and craft can shift to other dimensions, 261 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:19,000 go to other planets even? 262 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:20,000 Exactly. 263 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:25,000 And is it possible that some of these people who have disappeared have actually even been taken off planet or something? 264 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,000 That would make sense to me. I mean, given what we're hearing about this, 265 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:32,000 that they could have just stumbled into some kind of portal, is here suggesting? 266 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:37,000 I mean, seriously, we've got tremendous magnetic energy there, 267 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:41,000 disappearances, all kinds of mysterious incidences like that. 268 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:42,000 That's fascinating. 269 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,000 William, you went up to Mount Shasta just recently. 270 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:47,000 Can you tell us about your experience? 271 00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,000 Oh, who's absolutely mind-blowing. 272 00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,000 William, you went up to Mount Shasta just recently. 273 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:59,000 Can you tell us about your experience and what you learned? 274 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,000 Oh, who's absolutely mind-blowing. 275 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,000 Went up there to meet Dustin Neff. He's a local historian. 276 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,000 He was one of these guys that was called to the mountain. 277 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,000 He kept hearing about the legends and so forth. 278 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:13,000 He's been investigating it for many, many years. 279 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:21,000 Yeah, I've read his books and so you went to Mount Shasta too because of these strange disappearances. 280 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:26,000 Absolutely. What's interesting about this to me is that maybe it's a case of some kind of interdimensional portal opening up. 281 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:34,000 This is a very mysterious part of the world, Northern California, where giants were there, star people, lost civilizations. 282 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:35,000 It's magical. 283 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:45,000 In November 2020, William Henry traveled to weed, California to investigate firsthand 284 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:50,000 if he could document any evidence to help explain the many UFO sightings, 285 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:57,000 baffling disappearances, and encounters with strange beings that have been reported at Mount Shasta. 286 00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:05,000 And also to explore the incredible notion that the mountain might actually contain a portal through space and time. 287 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,000 Hi Dustin, I'm William Henry. 288 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:09,000 Hi William, glad to meet you. 289 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:15,000 Local author Dustin Neff has spent years investigating the mysteries of Mount Shasta. 290 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:23,000 One story that I think I'm most excited and interested in is these light beings that are also described as living within Mount Shasta. 291 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:27,000 Can we now tie that into Mu or Lemuria? 292 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:32,000 Yeah, there's a lot of supporting evidence and I think there's something to the stories. 293 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:44,000 Lemuria is a civilization that was quite an advanced civilization for its time and it existed somewhere off the Pacific Coast of North America. 294 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:54,000 The existence of a lost continent named Lemuria was first proposed by Zoologist Philip Sklater in 1864. 295 00:26:54,000 --> 00:27:01,000 Curiously, this theory is corroborated by the ancient oral traditions of the native Hawaiian people, 296 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:07,000 which say that the Pacific Islands of the region were once part of a giant continent, 297 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:12,000 one that was home to a highly advanced, otherworldly civilization. 298 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:20,000 We do know that there were some people that lost and this we call the Mu or the Lemuria people you might refer to. 299 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:25,000 They existed at one time and then we lost them under the ocean. 300 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:33,000 In the 19th century, there were various occult and esoteric writers including Madame H.P. Blavatsky, 301 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:39,000 who identified Lemuria as this primordial human civilization 302 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:47,000 and the idea was that some of humanity's hidden and occult roots could be traced back to this so-called continent of Lemuria. 303 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:55,000 Mount Shasta ties in to the idea of the lost continent of Lemuria. 304 00:27:55,000 --> 00:28:00,000 They were thought to be very technologically advanced ancestors. 305 00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:10,000 Maybe gods, maybe extraterrestrials, but whoever these people were, some calamity befell them. 306 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:18,000 And the legend is that the survivors of this cataclysm to refuge in Mount Shasta. 307 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:28,000 Could there really have been a highly advanced civilization that existed on Earth thousands of years ago? 308 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:37,000 And if so, could there be any truth to the notion that they took refuge from a devastating cataclysm in the caves of Mount Shasta? 309 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:48,000 One man who was convinced the story was true was prospector J.C. Brown, who in the early 20th century made it his mission to find the proof. 310 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:55,000 You know, J.C. Brown became really enamored with the theories of Lemuria and Mu. 311 00:28:55,000 --> 00:29:06,000 J.C. Brown claims to have been up here in 1906 prospecting for gold when he accidentally unearthed a tunnel which he describes as a man-made tunnel. 312 00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:17,000 And about a couple miles in, he found what he describes as some kind of a reliquary containing all kinds of records of lost civilization. 313 00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:22,000 And he describes finding the bodies of mummified giants. 314 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:29,000 And one of the things miners did was they would mark the environment with symbols. 315 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:39,000 And there's a place not far from Mount Shasta where I found a whole collection of these glyphs that had been carved into rocks. 316 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:45,000 We know they were made sometime between the early 1900s and the 1940s. 317 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:51,000 And that would have been the period of time that J.C. Brown would have been up in this area. 318 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,000 Looking around for things. 319 00:29:53,000 --> 00:30:05,000 This reminds me of in Renless Chateau in France, Northwest Arkansas, Oak Island, we find similar kind of symbols appearing in these various places associated with treasuries, deposits. 320 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:09,000 And then this looks like almost like two peaks or a peak within a peak. 321 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:12,000 Like he's trying to point you inward into the mountain almost. 322 00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:15,000 There's an interesting twist to this story. 323 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:27,000 About 30 years later, J.C. Brown returned to Stockton and his intention was to raise an expedition to go back up to this site and catalog what he found. 324 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:31,000 And he raised a party of about 80 different people. 325 00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:39,000 And on the day that they were supposed to depart to go up to this site, he just mysteriously vanished. 326 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,000 He just vanished us. 327 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,000 Yeah, no one ever heard from him again. 328 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:53,000 I wonder if there could be some advanced ancient technology that he didn't fully understand associated with portals, the light beings and that sort of thing. 329 00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:57,000 So there are actual tunnels that we can access today? 330 00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:04,000 Yeah, I can take you to a place called Pluto's Cave where people report and experience a lot of this phenomena that we've been talking about. 331 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,000 Fantastic, let's go. 332 00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:15,000 Dustin is very intrigued as I am about the lava tubes that run underneath Shasta that extend into the inner earth. 333 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:18,000 But we went into the Pluto Cave, this lava tube. 334 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:21,000 It's about 20 miles from Mount Shasta. 335 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,000 So these extend for miles. 336 00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:24,000 And how big is the tube? 337 00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,000 I mean, it's an ancient... 338 00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:27,000 No, this one was huge. 339 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,000 I mean, these are giant caverns. 340 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:30,000 Really? 341 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,000 And this, the Pluto Cave, massive. 342 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:33,000 You could drive a truck through there. 343 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:34,000 Really? 344 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:35,000 Yeah, absolutely. 345 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:36,000 And these extend to... 346 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:43,000 I think around there, they think that if you find the right lava tube or something, you can get into this city and into inside Mount Shasta. 347 00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:44,000 Exactly. 348 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:45,000 Right. 349 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:52,000 In November 2020, William Henry along with author Dustin Neff... 350 00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,000 It's down this path here. 351 00:31:54,000 --> 00:32:00,000 ...set out to explore what is known as Pluto's Cave several miles north of Mount Shasta. 352 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,000 That is just spectacular. 353 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:09,000 It is here where numerous eyewitnesses claim to have encountered mysterious beings, 354 00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:15,000 as well as seen evidence of possible interdimensional portals. 355 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:23,000 Pluto's Cave is one of several natural wonders known as lava tubes that crisscross the region. 356 00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:27,000 Mount Shasta is a volcanic mountain. 357 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:33,000 So volcanic lava tubes are formed when you have fast flowing lava, 358 00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:38,000 and it cools on the surface of the flow, so it actually builds across, 359 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:42,000 but the lava continues to flow in the middle, 360 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:46,000 and it forms literally a tube. 361 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,000 And these tubes, in some cases, are very small. 362 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:51,000 They might only be a few feet across. 363 00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:56,000 In other cases, they've been documented to be 50 feet across. 364 00:32:56,000 --> 00:33:05,000 And some of them have been documented to be not just miles long, but tens of miles long. 365 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,000 Check it out, man. 366 00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,000 Awesome. 367 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,000 Awesome. 368 00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:29,000 Most all of the mythology and legends around the place, it all takes place underground in caves and tunnels which surround the area. 369 00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:35,000 If you were to be able to look underground, you would just see tunnels radiating out in every direction. 370 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:42,000 There are actually native authored stories that you could travel clear into Oregon completely underground. 371 00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:48,000 Yeah, look at that, Dustin. That's awesome. Beautiful skylight. 372 00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,000 This almost makes like an eye-like symbol. 373 00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:54,000 Absolutely. Do you think JC Brown might have discovered a cave like this? 374 00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:55,000 Yeah. 375 00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:59,000 If it was in this area, it would be very similar to the cave we're in now. 376 00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:08,000 There's a really big subculture here in Mount Shasta that is always believed that these caves and tunnels contain civilization. 377 00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:15,000 Full of people just like you and I, and they come back and forth through portals hidden in these caves. 378 00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:24,000 I've had people actually contact me and tell me they've seen people in this very cave walk right into a wall and vanish. 379 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,000 What were these people like? What did they look like? 380 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:34,000 They looked just like us. That's how they're able to travel back and forth and mingle with humans. 381 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:35,000 Wow. 382 00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:46,000 One of the most famous reports of a being emerging from within Mount Shasta was made in 1930 by Guy Warren Ballard. 383 00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:57,000 Ballard, a mining engineer who worked in the area, claimed he was surveying the slopes of the mountain when he encountered a mysterious glowing figure. 384 00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:13,000 Guy reported that when he was hiking on Mount Shasta in the early 1930s, he encountered some extraordinary mysterious teacher, which he later identified as the Ascended Master. 385 00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:21,000 This is a radiant being dressed in white, and they get into a long conversation. 386 00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:29,000 And this teacher, this guru, this other worldly character teaches Ballard the secrets of enlightenment. 387 00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:40,000 For ancient astronaut theorists, Ballard's description of a radiant being is reminiscent of accounts from ancient times of similarly luminous figures. 388 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:45,000 In Iris Legend, we learn of the Tuatha Dadan, or the Tuatha Dadan. 389 00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:53,000 These are luminous humanoid beings who are considered to be beings of immense wisdom, who are also called the Shining Ones. 390 00:35:53,000 --> 00:36:04,000 Similar to the Shining Ones of the Celtic tradition, the ancient Sumerian gods known as the Anunnaki were also described as glowing figures. 391 00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:09,000 Might these accounts, including those made about Mount Shasta, be true? 392 00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:15,000 If so, can William Henry find any evidence to help verify them? 393 00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:22,000 If you look on the USGS charts, there's an immense negative magnetic anomaly that surrounds Mount Shasta. 394 00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,000 That's the lay line they describe here, right? 395 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:30,000 Yeah, a lot of psychic and paranormal phenomena actually occurs in places that have magnetic anomalies. 396 00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:36,000 And used as a portal between the inner earth realm and the stars. 397 00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:43,000 Yeah, anything capable of generating energy like that could be a portal. 398 00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:58,000 Some theoretical physicists believe that strong variations of electromagnetic fields may create areas that give rise to exotic phenomena, like portals through space and time. 399 00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:21,000 There appears to be in nature the possibility of crossing thresholds of energy, of vorticity, of electromagnetic phenomena that can perhaps open up portals in space time that we never would have thought possible. 400 00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:31,000 This is where I've seen people get readings before. 401 00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:34,000 Okay, well let's take a look. Let's see what we got. 402 00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:40,000 Brought my meter with me just to see if we can detect any magnetic energy here. 403 00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:45,000 Okay, it's jumping all over. 404 00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:47,000 Got some movement here. 405 00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:58,000 Alright, we got a reading here. Very interesting. 406 00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:13,000 Several miles north of Mount Shasta in Northern California, William Henry and author Dustin Neff have just detected a mysterious energy spike in Pluto's cave, a giant lava tube connected to the mountain. 407 00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:22,000 We're getting a lot of movement here on the magnetic side. I can personally feel it and then now we got the readings here that are backing that up. 408 00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:28,000 And sensitive psychic people could follow that line, follow a trail, wherever it leads. 409 00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:35,000 Yeah, a lot of psychic and paranormal phenomena actually occurs in places that have magnetic anomalies. 410 00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:36,000 Right. 411 00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:44,000 Mount Shasta, it's basically made of a type of geology that conducts electricity. 412 00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:56,000 And if you were to look underneath Mount Shasta, you would find reservoirs of churning water, just millions and millions of gallons of water just churning. 413 00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,000 And that creates energy. 414 00:38:58,000 --> 00:39:01,000 And that's one of the theories about the pyramid. 415 00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:08,000 It's that the tunnels were used as conduits for water, that the pyramid is a power plant and somehow water was used to facilitate that. 416 00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:14,000 Exactly, but the same thing is happening here at Mount Shasta. It's just being driven by natural forces. 417 00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:22,000 So that could explain if the pyramid is a machinist, which is the way they describe it, that would explain how people can come and go from Mount Shasta. 418 00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:24,000 It's like an interdimensional portal. 419 00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:32,000 It does go a long ways to explain the energy people feel up here, because it's basically an energetic site. 420 00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:38,000 So now that you've returned from Mount Shasta, did you come to any conclusions? 421 00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:44,000 In the end, I really don't have a conclusion about Mount Shasta. For me, it's a beginning. 422 00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:55,000 Because I realize how much is going on there. You've got the portal aspect, you've got the light beams, you've got the UFOs, you've got the natural geologic possibilities that are there, and you've got Lemuria. 423 00:39:55,000 --> 00:40:11,000 What makes Mount Shasta fascinating to me are the questions, because clearly there are so many stories, so many legends, so many events that have been witnessed by people, something clearly is happening there. 424 00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:15,000 You've got all this lore and stories that's coming out of it. 425 00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:25,000 It is rooted in eyewitness accounts, it's rooted in historical accounts, it's not the stuff of legend. It's tremendously exciting that this is in our own backyard. 426 00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:30,000 It's not Peru or Amazon or Egypt. It's right here in Northern California. 427 00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:40,000 And what's interesting here too is we have all the stories going to antiquity and the beginning of time, but this is something that's still going on. 428 00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:49,000 Gentlemen, this has been a fascinating conversation and this is what science and the ancient astronaut theory is all about. 429 00:40:49,000 --> 00:41:00,000 The investigation, because sure, one could just dismiss the whole thing and say, oh come on, it's nothing, but something clearly is happening at Mount Shasta. 430 00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:12,000 And I think that this merits even further investigation, because what if Mount Shasta is part of this giant riddle that we're all investigating?
