03x01 - Mountain of Mystery

[bunniefuu]

Tonight on beyond skin walker ranch.

This is where strange things
happen just because of how

intense the energy is.

Some of our guests say that
they can see these portals.

And we actually get quite a few calls

up here for people that are
just seeing things that they don't

normally see, whether it's orbs in the sky

or seeing mysterious figures.

There's some kind of
power that's in that mountain.

This spectrum is going crazy.

Yeah.

Here's something right here.

Look at this.

What is that?

For years, scientists have

been working to reveal the
secrets of skin walker ranch.

But is it possible that the clues

to unlock the mystery are located

beyond the borders of this
hub of high strangeness?

Wow.

Now, an ex-CIA agent
and a veteran journalist

have been recruited
by the skin walker team

to go on a high stakes
mission across america.

Look at all this activity that's happening.

That's unbelievable.

That is right over our heads.

That's it. That's it right there.

The goal... uncover evidence that

may finally expose the truth.

How is this happening?

Now it's gonna get interesting.

Look, it's moving.

- Look at that.
- Look at that!

This is just the beginning.

All right, gentlemen.

Welcome back.

We're thrilled to come
back together with you.

I've been researching
a number of other sites

over the course of the last few years.

And one in particular
that keeps coming up

is mount shasta in northern California.

Mount shasta seems to be a
center of gravity for phenomena

that is very similar to
what we've been seeing

here at skin walker ranch.

Everything from ufo or uap phenomena

to electromagnetic
anomalies, strange creatures,

and other activity that has been reported

for decades, if not millennia.

And people seem drawn to that area.

It has a very profound impact.

So it sounds like there's
an entire community

of experiencers, then, who may
be resources for the research.

Indeed.

Has there been a detailed
scientific investigation yet?

Or has it been more the
enthusiast and the researcher

type investigation?

The enthusiasts, for the most part.

And that's what I think
we have the opportunity

to bring to the table, to
actually document the reality

or be able to identify a
natural explanation for a lot

of the strange phenomena.

Now, Brandon gave us a really brief

heads up about mount shasta.

So we were able to pull
some initial information that I

want to share with you guys.

Because I think a lot of
what we're talking about right

now is really relevant.

So what I have up on screen now is

an actual usgs survey of
the area around mount shasta.

And it clearly shows
that there's some kind

of intense magnetic activity.

Wow.

Notice that the magnetic anomaly

is following the fault line.

And it looks like mount shasta is

right at the top of that fault.
And that's a pretty strong

magnetic field right there.

Well, I mean, one
thing to keep in mind is,

you know, shasta is an active volcano.

Yeah, that lines up well
with what you just said.

It sure does, yeah.

One thing that continues to
be a persistent part of the record

of mount shasta is there is an
underground element, everything

from lava tubes to even
underground structures that have

been reported in that
area that may actually hold

the key to some of the answers.

Yeah, no question.

We have some boots on the ground

there that I've been collaborating

with, in particular, Helena
reznor, who is a researcher.

Helena has actually spent
years focusing on that area

and meeting with people
who are experiencers

and also researchers that
can help aid our investigation.

And it's always nice to
walk in when we know

we have an ally on the ground.

And I'm thinking to that end,

we're going to reach out to
law enforcement, the local sheriff

Jeremiah larue.

I mean, this is an area where there's

gonna be a lot of reports.

Whether they're official,
whether they're on file or not,

we'll just see what we find.

Well, this feels like the
moment where we say,

"go forth and conquer."

But I think it's more like,
"conquer and go forth."

There you go. Good luck, guys.

Thanks, guys.

Can't wait to see what you find.

- See you soon.
- Yeah.

Thank you. Thanks, gentlemen.

One of the things that

strikes me about this place, I mean,

just as we're driving in
here is, like, look at how vast

it is.

I mean, of all the
places we've been so far,

this may be the most majestic.

- It is...
- do you know what I mean?

Absolutely stunning.

I mean, here in the distance, you

see mount shasta, like, towering
over everything in the area.

Yeah.

But I don't want to be
deceived into looking

past the fact that it's also a very strange

place, a very mysterious place.

I mean, it almost has that kind of close

encounters vibe, right?

This is a place that people are drawn to.

They can't necessarily even explain why,

but they just need to be there.

There really does
seem to be a relationship

between the people who come
here and the mountain itself.

And that may be ultimately

the origin of the lore that
goes back thousands of years

here that this mountain is alive.

Yeah.

The question is, can we
get some data to back up

what people say they've seen.

There's so much ground to cover here.

I wonder if we should think about just

splitting up right off the bat.

I've already been in
touch with Helena reznor.

And she's got a location
she wants me to meet her at.

All right, and I think what I'll do

is I'll connect with the local
sheriff, with sheriff larue.

You know, he's been here his whole life.

He's told us that he's
been getting tons of reports,

actually an uptick in the past few years,

that speak to the experiences
that people are having.

There's some kind of mystery
around the mountain here.

And no one's been able
to quite unravel what that is.

Right.

And now we're gonna try our hand at it.

Paul's first stop is at bunny flat,

a flash point of strange occurrences

at the base of mount shasta.

Hey, sheriff, thank you
for meeting me here.

Pleasure.

So this is it.

I mean, this is the heart of
the mount shasta wilderness.

You've been here a long time.
You know all about this place.

Yeah, this is the place where people

come to start their journey
to ascend mount shasta.

These are where a lot
of our reports come from.

- Really?
- Yeah.

- Ok.
- Would you like to take a look?

Yeah, please.

All right, let's go.

Talking to the local
sheriff, that's unusual.

I mean, we don't always get cooperation

from law enforcement.

But someone like sheriff larue who

is from here who can
verify some of these stories,

this is a great asset for us.

While Paul gathers information

from the sheriff at bunny flat, Andy

heads to ascension
rock, a notorious hot spot

near the base of mount shasta.

- You ready?
- Yeah, let's do it.

Let's go.

He joins investigator Helena reznor

to try to prove claims of ascension rock's

unusual electromagnetic
energies similar to those

found on skin walker ranch.

There is an extraneous
magnetic field right here

messing my compass up.

Magnetic north has been
shifted by about 5 degrees.

It's showing north is that way.

Holy crap.

You will notice this whole area

is filled with trees that have
been struck by lightning.

This has been struck by lightning.

That's been struck by lightning.

There's trees over that
direction struck by lightning.

And that's because
lightning is actually attracted

to energy vortex locations.

Yeah.

They also tend to twist.

Yeah, you can see the
twist in this tree here.

The more you find
twisted and lightning struck

trees, the more electromagnetic the area

is going to be in nature.

Yeah.

And you can see all the lightning

strikes, the trees down
here and the tree down here.

Yeah.

So would you like me to
show you the perimeter

edge of this energy vortex?

If you've got a way to
do it, let's check it out.

Pretty simple with some dowsing rods.

And actually, I have an extra pair for you

if you'd like to try it out.

Yeah, let's do it.

Dowsing is a centuries-old practice

used to detect potential
electromagnetic fields.

An investigator holds
two I-shaped copper rods.

And when an increase in
electric energy current is detected,

the rods will cross,
seemingly by themselves.

Just try to keep them
as steady as possible

facing forward.

And I'm getting a reaction right... whoa.

Yep, yep, yep, yep.

I'm with you.

Take another step forward.

Yeah, so this is going to be
the perimeter edge of the vortex.

You see how expansive that is?

I mean, yeah, that's the focal point.

But it's creating a
localized geomagnetic field

that's expanding all around.

That's fascinating.

Yeah.

Let's run that one more time.

I would love to see if we
can replicate those results.

Yeah.

All right, so let's approach the perimeter

that we've discovered here.

I'm still looking straight.

Mine are starting to
react right here, right here.

You got a reaction?

Right here, woo, full reaction.

There go mine. There go mine.

Absolutely.

Dowsing rods are one of the oldest

tools in the book for being
able to find a magnetic field.

And what it's showing us
is that the magnetic field

here is acting consistently and
predictably over and over again.

Well, there's really
something measurable

here about the phenomena
that had been reported.

And we're just
scratching the surface of it.

Absolutely.

But the real focal point is up ahead.

If you get up close to ascension rock,

this is going to be the hot spot.

Do you have a compass on you?

I have two.

You want one?

I'm actually curious now what
our magnetic readings look like,

compass-wise.

I'll take mine, too.

So red is north.

So the mountain is north.

Yeah, that's what the
compass is reading right now.

So it's pointing towards the mountain.

Mine's starting to point northwest

right now for some reason.

I've still got normal readings down here.

Ok, totally disorients here.

Really?

It disorients by 45 degrees, I'd say.

Look at that.

It's telling me north is that way.

North is this way.

Mine's starting to point
northwest right now.

I've still got normal readings down here.

Totally disorients here.

Really?

It disorients by 45 degrees, I'd say.

Look at that.

It's telling me north is that way.

North is this way.

I am a solid 90 degrees off.

They're the exact same compass.

Exact same compass, yeah.

And if we move them six inches,

they completely change.

What we just saw with
our magnetic compasses

and with old school dowsing rods, like,

this formation has a strong charge to it.

My suspicion is that this is
happening all over the area.

It's just that this is an
area that's well known

but that if we were to expand our search,

I bet we would find more
areas like this that share

some sort of energetic connection

through the volcano in some way.

Absolutely.

This place has been really a pilgrimage

maybe for millennia.

What's your take on it?

What is the story of this place?

This mountain puts out a lot of energy.

I've talked to a lot of
people that have come here.

And it's all different.

People describe speaking telepathically.

They seek healing.

They seek maybe a
revelation of some kind.

I mean, obviously, it's beautiful.

It's wide open.

You have a great shot of mount shasta.

It draws a lot of people to this area.

Yeah.

And then we, of course,
have the aerial phenomena

that is unique to the area.

We actually get quite a few calls up

here for people that are just
seeing things that they don't

normally see, whether it's orbs in the sky,

whether it's actual craft, or people that

have been out hiking, skiing and they

report seeing figures seven
feet tall and they were glowing.

They don't have backpacks.

They don't have skis with them.

There's no reason that
they would see them

in some of these remote areas.

Have you ever had any
personal experiences?

I have, you know, one not that long ago.

I saw a black triangle, no lights.

And I just saw it cruising through the sky.

And at first I thought,
well, it's probably satellites.

But as it started to pass,
it slowed down a little bit

and then made a 90-degree turn.

When it passed, it blocked
out the stars behind it.

And I don't know what it was.

Those are moments that,
you know, I'm just being honest,

I couldn't tell you what it is.

And so I put that in the
category of the unexplained.

Even if just a tiny fraction
are actually something

right, I don't think you
can rule them all out.

And I think this would be
a potentially great location

for a night investigation.

Because we have equipment
to observe the night sky.

Is this someplace we
could set up tonight?

- This is an excellent place.
- Fantastic.

Let me touch base with Andy.

We'll get the gear up
here and we'll get started.

- All right.
- Ok.

Thanks so much.

Thanks.

With a perfect vantage
point at the base of mount

shasta, Andy, Paul, and sheriff larue

will conduct an experiment at night

to see if they can
capture evidence of a uap.

So I want to walk you through
a little bit of the equipment

that we have here real quick.

So what we're looking at here
is a thermal imaging camera.

This is the most
sophisticated version of flir.

It's high definition.

And it wasn't available to us last year

at any of our
experimentations and it's never

set foot on skin walker ranch.

The flir t1030 is a high
definition thermal camera

that has a long-range
capability to capture

the environment's heat signatures

and convert them into
digital video images.

This has never been available
outside of the military before.

And that's trained on mount shasta.

That's gonna be our best
friend for seeing anything outside

of the visible spectrum.

Here and here we got flight tracker

data, satellite tracker data.

So we're always trying to
rule out aircraft in any sightings

that we see overhead.

Right.

Here, we have two tools called ufodaps.

These are our eyes in the
sky, AI-powered machines that

are designed to be
watching the sky at all times

because we're going to
be watching everything else.

And if they find something
that doesn't fit their AI

index of pre-recorded data, then they'll

zoom in, record, and alert us.

So if we do see something in the sky,

then we'll be able to actually
record it and enhance the light

that it's giving us so that we'll be

- able to really see it clearly.
- Awesome.

Shouldn't miss anything, then.

It's a lot of comfort blankets.

Because we really only get
one chance to set it up tonight,

- right?
- Right.

So if you hear something
strange, if you smell something

strange, start tasting something strange,

don't be embarrassed to say anything

that seems or feels strange.

I'm going to search through
the radio spectrum, Paul.

It's super quiet?

It's a really stable spectrum.

Not a lot of air traffic either.

You know, we do have one
kind of creative thing on standby.

We have a tone generator.

The skin walker team has
had investigations where we've

seen some kind of response that
comes from actual auditory tones

at specific frequencies.

So it might be worth us
running a couple of frequencies

up against the
environment and seeing if it

causes any kind of response.

In 2022, the team at skin walker

ranch discovered the effects of playing

back a 192-hertz audio tone.

All right, Travis, we
are about ready to start.

Have at it!

Ready for frequency one.

Let's try 192.

Playing the tone seemed to trigger

the appearance of a uap.

h*, did y'all see that?

Right above us right now.

Something just jumped, I
mean, came right across the sky.

I think at skin walker the
frequency is 192, right?



Now, Andy and Paul will play back

the same 192 hertz
tone here at mount shasta

to see if they can
trigger a similar result.

All right, here we go.

Paul, this is totally different.

Look at this.

Where are we now?





When radio frequencies
from 1.4 to 1.8 gigahertz

are seen on a spectrum analyzer, that

indicates earth-to-space or
space-to-earth communication.

It might also signal
the presence of a uap.

We've got multiple
peaks here, 1.52 gigahertz.

And now they're totally gone.

Let me stop the tone generator.

It did seem to correspond with the tone.

It really did.

There it goes again. Did you see it?

It's like a... look at that.

Look at that. Look at that.

Whoa.

What is that?

Whoa.

Look at this.



There's tons of energy.

And you can see how sporadic it is.

It's not clean.

This is just all over the place.

All over the place. Look at that.

And it just started up out of nowhere.

- What was that?
- Ufodap.

Whoa.

Just found something.

Did you see that?

I didn't.

Let me go to the raw file

you're playing back the dap right now?

Yep so these are the dap hits

that were happening at the same time

that we started seeing
the transient energy here.

It just got it for a frame
or two it seems like.

Yep.

This is us right here.

I'll take it frame by frame and advance it.

So it starts up here.

Yeah, and you can see it's

starting to get that
almost a tail right there.

And there it is progressing.

We've never seen anything like that.

How much actual screen
time did we get there?

Two seconds maybe.

That moved quick.

All of a sudden this night
got very interesting, man.

So the zone where that
would have been visible

on this recording, right?

Yep.

So it was over here, yeah?

There's no satellites.

Yeah, I was gonna say.

I mean, that's not
what a plane looks like.

No, that was not air craft.

Air traffic in that area is clear, too.

But it was fast.

It was brief.

It was correlative with the
radio frequency transmissions

that we were seeing
here, which were also fast,

brief, and scattered, right?

Yeah, it's highly coincidental.

I mean, the question is,
how were they connected?

If they're connected, yeah.

Look at that.

Our energy's back again here, too.

Another one?

I'm having a hard time

keeping up with everything
that's happening right now.

Ufodap.

Another one?

Look at that.

Our energy's back again here, too.

I'm having a hard time

keeping up with everything
that's happening right now.

Andy and Paul are at the
base of mount shasta with

the local sheriff recording a
multitude of strange activity

that all started when they played

the same 192-hertz audio
signal used on skin walker ranch.

Do you want to try to play back the flir?

The flir, exactly, right.

Our flir footage is loaded
up to this computer.

Let's take a look.

Look at that.

What is that?

I'm not seeing any satellite activity.

It's not an aircraft.

Aircrafts don't put up heat like that.

No.

That's not a bat or a bird.

It doesn't have flapping wings.

It's not changing shape.

It's slow. It's steady.

It's strong.

This spectrum is going crazy.

Yeah.

Here's something right here.

See it?

You're right, you're right.

We've got it recorded again.

Yeah I'll play it right back again.

Boom.

Ok.

Shape, color is consistent
with the other anomalies

- that we've seen.
- Yep.

It's against the coldest part of the sky.

You see that?

Yeah.

Let me take it slide by
slide, frame by frame.

Yeah.

What is that?

It kind of wobbles.

It does wobble.

Look at that.

It's like... it's like
moving like a fish, right?

You see that?

Look.

We've got another object.

It darted straight across from
right to left, 45-degree angle.

Flir is popping.

For all we the visual orbs
that are being reported

are just a fraction
of all the orb activity.

Because they're not using
thermal imaging technology.

This may be something
completely new, a thermal orb.

Let's take a look at that footage.

Here's the orb you saw off to the right.

Yeah.

Right here, look at this guy.

That's the one.

This is the one that disappears.

Look right here.

Whoa, whoa.

There's a second one.

Yeah, there you go.

We were so busy with that,
I didn't even see that one.

Hold on, that was...
That was two objects.

Did you notice how they
had the same shape?

Yeah.

Similar trajectories.

They appeared at the same time.

But completely different speeds.

Totally different speeds.

One of the things that just I can't ignore

is the fact that these
objects that we see on the flir

seem to be going towards mount shasta.

Whether we see slow moving
orbs or fast moving orbs or groups

of orbs, they all seem
to be centering on mount

shasta as their destination.

I don't know what this is.

I have no explanation for this.

It's kind of freaking me out.

What are these hot, high-speed objects?

And they're outside
of the visible spectrum.

Right.

I mean, is this normal?

I've never seen anything like it before.

Those are clearly
objects moving at speed,

not just some sort of
weird temperature anomaly.

I'm feeling a little bit overwhelmed, man.

There's this, there's this.

That's still going.

Once we triggered the


- from skin walker ranch...
- Yep.

That's when we really started

tracking to multiple changes.

But what has me fascinated
right now with what's going on

in the flir is the
continuity, the continuity

in terms of the temperature signature

that each of those
anomalies is putting off.

They're within the same
range of each other.

Right.

The shape, the size, they're consistent.

Yeah, it brings up just
a lot more questions

like we're asking.

What are these things?

We'll dig into it as much as we can.

And anything we learn,
we'll be sure to pass your way.

Great. I'd love to hear.

What a day.

Yeah, and we're just getting started here.

We've seen uaps.

We've seen just incredible magnetic

and electromagnetic energy.

We've seen some absolutely
bizarre stuff in a place

that we knew was going to be bizarre.

Right.

It has compounding anomalies.

It has strange phenomenon.

It really is a sister location
to skin walker ranch.

Yeah, I'm still fascinated
by what you saw,

just with the compasses.

I mean, what I saw at ascension rock

absolutely just blew
my mind with the amount

of energy that's coming
out of that rock formation.

Like, the magnetic fields,
the electrical energies there

were all over the map.

Which makes me wonder, like, if we're

seeing those kind of
conditions on the surface

of the mountain, what's going on inside

that's generating that energy?

There is so much
going on here that maybe

the story is actually underground

rather than above ground.

When I think about the skin walker team,

they also suspect that the
real secrets of skin walker ranch

right, is under the mesa.

But skin walker, they
don't have the opportunity

to get underground.

I mean, if they do, they're
going to have to drill.

There's an extensive network all

over the mount shasta region.

We can literally walk in
to the underground layer

of this mountain.

Yeah, I think we've gotta
find that access point

and run experiments there.

It's a hell of a way to start the day.

Yeah.

Andy and Paul are
headed to mount shasta's

extensive cave system in search
of evidence connecting to mount

shasta's strange energies.

At skin walker ranch, the team has found

key evidence underground

we're hoping that we
can go drill through it

and see if we hit any voids.

But only through painstaking drilling.

This drilling process takes a lot of time.

That looks like a big chunk of something.

What is that?

It definitely looks metallic.

This is an opportunity to get

underground faster and easier.

They've teamed up with a
local cave exploration company

to conduct experiments at
a popular tourist attraction

called shasta caverns, an
ancient cave network rumored

to lead to mount shasta that draws

visitors from all over
the world to experience

its unique energies.

So, Dave, you know, Andy and I have

heard a lot about these caves.

This is our chance to actually get in.

There's not just the cave we're going to.

There's caves all over these mountains.

A couple of years ago we
found a cave in the next canyon

over from our cave called samwel cave.

And that comes from a
native American term "sa-wal."

And a "sa-wal" is a place of
power for native Americans

where they would go to receive blessings

and strength and courage.

So there's many sa-wals in this area.

I mean, often in that mythology, right,

descending into a cave is
a portal into another world.

I mean, as long as human
beings have been here... yeah.

These places have been
places of spiritual power.

One of the stories that
we've heard many times

about mount shasta is, first of all,

that this is a massive energy system.

We know that the underlying
geology here is unusual.

This is one of the most
dynamic parts of the entire north

American tectonic system.

And the heart of it is the mountain itself.

If that's the case, then
what's inside the mountain,

the structure of it is really
going to be like the veins

and arteries, right?

If there's a key to this mystery,

it's inside the mountain.

So into the hall of the mountain king.

Into the underworld.

Whatever hornet's nest is up

there is about to get kicked.

Exactly.

And welcome to the cave.

Wow.

This is Matt.

Here we are. Paul beban.

- Paul, pleasure to meet you.
- Good to meet you.

- Andy.
- Pleasure to meet you.

Thanks for having us.

Of course.

We're excited to find
out some information.

We are excited to see
what's behind that door.

Excellent.

Let's get in and hop
inside the cave right now.

Let's do it.

All right. Thank you.

After you, sir.

Wow.

You can feel that
temperature drop right away.

Yeah, right?

Pretty amazing, isn't it?

Wow.

Amazing.

What a rapid transition.

The energy just changes, right?

I don't know how else to describe it.

Like, you just go from the outside world

to the underworld... yeah.

Immediately.

Well, that's correct.

I mean, you have to
imagine, we're sitting in 250

million years of formation.

- You can feel it.
- Certainly.

I mean, it's not just visual, but

this whole sensory experience.

I love being in here.

And I love to be in the
cave alone with the lights off.

And it's so quiet and so dark.

And we leave our anxiety behind.

Feel the peace.

You feel it differently, even your voice.

You really do.

A big part of what brought us here

were the stories about the phenomenon

and the mysteries of the mountain.

Have you experienced
any of those yourselves?

Pretty much everybody on staff

has had some sort of
experience one way or the other,

from orbs or floating
figures inside the cave,

to a lot of audio things
that are really unexplained.

You've experienced that personally?

Correct, yes, I have.

What kind of stuff?

Anything from children laughter

when we know that we're the
only people inside the cavern.

Children laughing... correct, yes.

In an empty cave?

Yes.

Amazing.

Now you mentioned light
orbs inside the caves, which

is a truly unnatural phenomenon to have

a source of light in an area that

is absent of all natural light.

Some of our guests say
that they can see these portals

in the cave and that they believe that you

can step through one of these portals

and come out at mount shasta.

That's very consistent with what we've

seen in other investigations.

And it certainly sounds like
possibly some of the stories

about skin walkers,
right, using portals, using

energy anomalies to... to

to move from one place to another.

The legend of skin walkers
as shapeshifters

that can move from one place
to another using portals has been

well documented at skin walker ranch,

as well as Andy and Paul's
previous investigation at navajo

nation.

The skin walkers are said to
be able to travel vast distances

by sliding into these dimensional gates

and jumping, almost
like a wormhole effect,

and come out again.

Well, based on the
phenomenon that we've heard,

there's light phenomenon.

There's sound phenomenon.

And there's energy phenomenon.

I'm making a mental
list of the experiments

that we're going to need to run.

Because all three of those
are things we can measure.

Absolutely.

Is there any place in the cave that you

would recommend we use to
stage multiple pieces of equipment?

I would most certainly say it's

going to be our cathedral room.

- It's our largest room.
- Show us the way.

All right, sounds good. Let's go.

We'll follow you.

Wow.

My gosh.

You just feel like you're entering

a massive, sacred space.

Wow.

It's disorienting, man.

It's so big.

I mean, how high is
the ceiling above us?

We're roughly about 180
feet from the very bottom

of this pit, all the way
to the top of the fall.

So, I mean, we're talking
like a 16-story building

could fit from here to there.

Correct, yes.

I mean, this is definitely
where we need to stage.

I am really excited to launch

some experiments in here, man.

Yeah, what a spot for us to work in.

All right, well, should we get ready?

Yeah.

Time to see what this cave's got.

All right.

So this guy's warming up.

And we'll be able to check this as we go.

Hey, it looks like you're all set up.

Have you seen this kind of set

up before in the cavern?

This would be a first
for me, that's for sure.

Andy and Paul are bringing technology

to shasta caverns for the first time

to poke the hornet's nest with
a host of instruments designed

to capture anomalous light, sound,

and energy deep in the heart of
the mount shasta cave system.

One of the things that's
different about this, we've

never done experiments really indoors.

I mean, we're not indoors.

We're inside of a mountain.

But we're still going
to be running the flirs.

We're going to be looking
for thermal anomalies.

We're using a parabolic
mic for the first time.

This will pick up small
trace noises from anywhere

where it's directionally pointed.

So if we hear anything unusual,

we can really try to hone in on
it and see maybe what that is.

This is exciting.

Let's roll.

Yeah, we're set up.

We're recording.

Let me turn on our spectrum analyzer.

This will be reviewing and listening

in on whatever radio frequencies
are happening in our area.

So I'm gonna surf the
bands, Paul, and see... yeah.

What things look like.

One thing that we hear
a lot from the team back

at skin walker ranch is to watch
out for a misbehaving spectrum.

You'll know strange when you see it.

- Exactly.
- All right.

It's very apparent.

You can see that the energy

- is low, fairly steady.
- Little flickers.

- Yeah.
- Do you see that?

Andy, I'm kind of surprised
just right off the bat

to see that we're getting so much rf

activity in the cave itself.

Yeah.

Pretty busy through here.

Yep.

So here, this is our strongest zone, Paul.

Our strongest area of activity
is most definitely starting

at about 1.6 gigahertz.

Wow.

Look at that.

So that's interesting.

It seems like as we climb higher

into these more privileged zones,

you see more of these energy bursts.

Tell me again what's a privilege zone?

So a privilege zone is a zone that you

and I can't transmit on.

Ok.

A normal civilian or commercial entity

can't transmit above 1.6 gigahertz.

It's reserved for government
use and for earth-to-space and

space-to-earth communication.

Here's my question, though.

I mean, we're underground,
deep underground.

- Shouldn't we be shielded?
- Yep.

Yeah.

Is this some kind of
effect of being in a cave?

I mean, or is it the energy
signature of the cave itself?

What is going on?

I don't understand that.

The whole reason we
came to mount shasta

was because we got
reports of energy... right.

Originating here.

Well, my question is, is it possible

that whatever energy anomaly
this may be that it's distorting

- either our equipment or...
- I don't know. - Yeah.

I mean, I'm wondering, given what

we're seeing, if maybe our
equipment has some kind

of effect on the energy.

Do you want to try and go lights out?

Go dark.

Let's go for it

having already detected
strange energy spikes

that shouldn't be present in a cave,

the team decides to turn
off all their electrical devices,

including light sources,
to isolate for an experiment

to see if they can capture
evidence of the audio phenomenon

the cave guides have reported.

So we'll close down the flirs, we'll

close down everything else.

And we'll listen to see if
the mountain is talking to us.

Let's give it a try.

Let's do it.

I don't know what's going on
with the energy in this cave.

But as far as our audio
experiments are concerned,

you couldn't ask for a
more interesting space.

Being in total darkness
and silence in there,

we can really try to home in
on it and get a good recording

and see maybe what that is.

- I'm going to k*ll the monitors.
- Go ahead.

All right, I'm going to k*ll my headlamp.

k*lling mine.

Done.

You ready on the parabolic?

Ready.

A parabolic microphone is

so sensitive it can pick
up even the slightest

whisper at a great distance.

If any strange sounds occur in the cave,

they will be recorded
as a high quality audio

signal for further analysis.

All right, and we're recording.

And I'll give you a 3, 2, 1.

All right, we're ready when you are, sir.

- Clear.
- All righty.

And 3, 2, 1.

I feel like I can hear the blood

pumping through my heart.

I feel like I hear the blood pumping

through your heart, dude.

It's the sound of silence, man.

It's amazing.

I mean, we've got a good
sample there of the silence.

We'll just go back and
see if there's anything there.

Or do you want to get a longer stretch?

I do not want a longer stretch.

Ok.

Can we get the power back on?

All right.

Wow.

I felt very small in the dark.

I was just gonna say,
the whole place just

contracted in on me.

My gosh.

I'm just gonna do a real
quick listen through, Paul

ok.

To see if anything
popped on that parabolic.

And I'll give you a 32, 1.

Hold on. Hold on.

There's nothing.

There's no data.

But I did say 3, 2, 1.

- You absolutely did.
- You did.

Hold on, hold on.

Because it comes back here.

What happened in between?

What happened in between there?

I mean, it's not like it's sound activated.

I mean, it's recording the whole time.

Something weird is going on in here,

the relationship between
sound and other forms of energy.

What if the cave is absorbing
the energy we put out there.

Wait, what?

I am very suspicious
right now that there could

be some kind of event
where the phenomenon

here is consuming energy.

So you're saying, even
though we can hear it,

the cave is somehow
drawing energy away

so the mic can't pick it up?

The story of mount
shasta is that this place

exudes positive energy and
that's what draws people here.

What I think Andy and I might
be sort of knocking on the door

with is the mountain itself sucking

energy out of the environment.

I think that's something
we're going to have to dig

a little bit more deeply into.

There's something here that speaks

to the truth of the stories,
your personal experiences,

the history of mount shasta.

This is a phenomenal place.

This is the point where we hand

it off to the skin walker team.

Hey, guys, here's what we got.

The benefit of being investigators.

Here's the data.

You figure it out.

Take a crack at it now.

All right, gentlemen.

We've been anxious
to hear your findings.

What do you have for us?

Well, I think mount shasta delivered

- yeah.
- Is the top line here.

This is going to blow you away.

We had a really rich
mix of local expertise,

in terms of the anecdotal evidence,

but also just the history
and geology of the area,

which is really complex.

I was working with the local
sheriff, sheriff Jeremiah larue.

We invited sheriff larue to join

us on an evening experiment.

It's an area called bunny flat.

And he said, look, this is just a place

where people have, I think in his words,

just seen a lot of weird stuff.

We had multiple uap
sightings on both the ufodap

and on our thermal camera.

All of that happened
after we played the tone.

After we triggered the 192-hertz tone.

- Yeah, wow.
- The skin walker tone.

The flir hits that I'm
about to show you now

were all captured in real time.

From the upper right
hand side of the screen,

you see these two orbs
that are heat signatures.

It looks like it either goes
behind the mountain or possibly

into the mountain.

They're only uaps right now because we

- don't know what they are.
- Correct.

Right?

They could turn out to be something

completely explainable.

I mean, we've got the flight tracker

and the satellite tracker running.

You're not seeing satellites or airplanes.

But whatever that was flying in the air,

it was as warm or at least as reflective

to appear to be the
same color temperature.

So that's really interesting.

It makes me think it may have
been putting out its own light.

I'm glad we have this instrument.

We didn't have this
instrument in our inventory

during the first phase
of our work together.

Right.

So this is really a nice new piece of tech.

Now, what we found in this area was

there's a cave network
that connects all the way up

to mount shasta itself.

Our goal was to try to look for
signs of energy, energy flows,

energy shifts, energy changes,
as well as any anomalies that

might be outside of the
visual range or outside

of our normal auditory range.

Good.

Here you see a bird's eye view of just

our actual command center.

And what we wanted to do was
we wanted to set up a parabolic mic

so that we could try to
identify any unnatural sounds,

any sounds that were
potentially tied to some change

that we were putting
into the environment.

So we asked them to
k*ll all lights, everything.

We fell into darkness.

I like that you did that.

And during our parabolic
microphone experiment,

our parabolic mic was
working without picking up

ambient noise.

It would pick up sporadic noise.

But it didn't function appropriately.

We cut the external power.

Mic is still powered.

But the mic just cuts off.

And here's our full audio
file from the parabolic mic.

So as you can see, if it
was just a matter of a gate,

then we would have picked up nothing.

But that's not, in fact, what happened.

I - feel like I can hear the blood

pumping through my heart.

So do we know if anyone was speaking

during this silent period
that we're not hearing?

There was speech going
on and it just went dead?

I feel like I can hear the blood
pumping through my heart.

I feel like I hear the blood pumping

through your heart, dude.

Wow, unreal.

It begs the question, what is
happening in this environment.

- Exactly.
- Yeah.

That's not natural.

Yeah, something is causing it to stop

or the data is being removed.

Or something buried...
or something else.

Something buried within that
area, much like what we believe

is buried here within the mesa.

Certainly.

But the most significant
of all the anomalies

that we saw electronically was what I'm

pulling up for you right now.

We started specifically looking
at these suspect spectrum ranges

that we've seen before
in our investigations,

as well as what you've seen
here on skin walker ranch,

that we know are reserved for
earth-to-space transmissions and

space-to-earth transmissions.

And that's where we lock
in here at 1.6 gigahertz.

That right there, look at that.

That is a lot of energy across
the spectrum around 1.6

inside a cave.

I gotta tell you, I
can't, for the life of me,

figure out how you get a microwave

signal down inside a cave.

Why are we getting 1.6
gigahertz signals inside this cave

at mount shasta?

It makes no sense to me.

So you're saying that it
should be shielded from the

I mean, just because of the
fact that we're underground.

Because you got layers of earth.

Microwave signals don't
pass through dirt very well.

You know, about that much
dirt is all you need to block it.

Well, it speaks to some
type of advanced technology

that is being utilized
that we just don't have.

Yes.

This could very well be
evidence of some intelligence

that is monitoring your activities

and leaving this type of trace evidence.

I mean, I know this is just speculation,

but you have hard data.

It's not a bad speculation.

It's difficult to refute.

When you're in that cave and
when we turned off the lights,

I mean, you are in a fully
sensory deprived environment.

Yes.

There's nothing.

And yet to find that, of
all things, was haunting.

It makes no sense, does it?

And other readings, other
strange things occurring.

Those are weird things
you found in a place

where there shouldn't have
been anything but darkness.

Yeah.

What we see here is
a definite correlation

to what we have experienced
here at skin walker ranch.

It really begs the question.

What is it going on
beneath mount shasta?

Is there an underground
base or some unnatural source

that is creating the phenomena?

Well, it certainly begs
for a return analysis

and return measurements.

Well, mount shasta was
mysterious to me before.

Now, it's opened up a
whole new series of questions

that I think need to be answered.

There is legitimacy to the lore.

Yeah, I feel like you haven't
just put a pin in the map,

you've really put a golden
spike in the map on this one.

Let's use this as a springboard.

And I can't wait to see
what we dig up next.
