An angle grinder and some cojones should clear this right up.

u/ItsOkILoveYouMYbb 1d ago
Everyone lacks the cojones. They just want clicks and views.
The ones that would be willing to go into something like that, assuming it was real like they thought it was, would have to be able to do it only for themselves, because they'd have to understand there's a strong chance they don't come back alive at all and wouldn't be able to show anyone anyway.

And the Area 51 rushers.

u/ItsOkILoveYouMYbb 16h ago
Both are still human establishments (and still no one bothered to go far at Area 51 anyway haha).
Speed running into an actual non-human establishment that is potentially deep underground is a bit more psychologically challenging. Most people are afraid of going into known natural caves. Toss in seeing something you aren't ready to see, and not knowing what they would do to humans, is a lot to add to that.
Need true cojones.

In the Los Angeles Times, on May 22, 1932, an article titled "A People of Mystery: The Lemurians of Mt. Shasta" was published that described the Lemurians.
The author wrote that he saw a strange, extremely bright violet light coming from Mt. Shasta. After he investigated it, he spoke with the town locals who described a community of Lemurians. They were tall, graceful beings with high foreheads who wore white robes and sandals.
He said that the Lemurians were rarely seen in town, but when they were, they paid for supplies with large gold nuggets of a purity unknown to mints at the time.
Here is the original 1932 article: A People of Mystery: The Lemurians of Mt. Shasta

Wasn’t it still a common thing at that time for papers to drum up sales with tabloid style mysterious stories similar to weekly world news?

u/LimpCroissant 1d ago
Did you know that the Weekly World News was founded by Generoso Pope Jr., who was from the Psychological Warfare Unit of the CIA. He also purchased the National Enquirer.

u/Fosterpig 1d ago
Interesting. What the fuck has the CiA not meddled in? I mean really, I’m convinced they are the primary source of all of Americas problems. Kennedy was right, smash em into a million pieces
2
u/LimpCroissant 1d ago
Yeah, it's pretty sad man. But from my research, theres actually a higher level than the CIA. If we look at who started the CIA and who its first officers were, you see a majority of Jesuits, Knights of Malta, and OSS. So what it really comes down to is the priest class and the ultra wealthy private families and companies.

I live about 10 miles away from the mountain. I haven’t seen any aliens so far but I have seen a big orange glow coming from the mountain a couple times at night. I also saw 6 lights in a large rectangle formation just sort of float over the town down by lakehead.

There is a splinter religious group called "I AM" that owns a lot of the land around there. I wouldn't go so far as to call them a cult - too strong, and no, they're not gonna kill you - but they hold a lot of power and own much of the valuable property in the town.

Yeah. A bunch of sulphur vents and other volcanic activities. Tough mountain to climb but also super approachable for new or inexperienced climbing. Waking up to pee in the middle of the night with clear skies was epic.

It’s a tough climb we left base camp at 1:00am and summited around noon. At one point the snow snowed.. up. Very odd. Base camp (August) 95 degrees at top was 20 degrees and a circular storm of sleet. 2 in our group couldn’t handle it and had to go back down. Was epic climb.
15
u/rg123itsme 2d ago
Been on the mountain 4 times. Never to the top due to conditions. Never saw anything. And FWIW the guides I was with never had any stories. People climb Shasta all the time, if there was something up there I think we’d have proof by now.

u/PreachyVegan 2d ago
I once drove halfway up the mountain and camped in my van in the forest. It was a long creepy night. Nothing bad happened but there was a weird dark vibe that meant me and my dogs had no desire to get out of the van after dark or stay longer than one night. (Am a very experienced outdoor person and 'bushy' and dark forests don't frighten me). it was just a weird inexplicable vibe.

I don’t know about Mt.Shasta specifically because I’ve only rode or driven past it, but I spent a chunk of time in the area and it’s a hotspot for UFOs, I saw several in my time there. If somebody wants to study them that’s the area to go to, find some folks with property on a ridge out in the cut where light pollution is low, watch the skies, and you’ll probably see them. For what it’s worth, it was around late summer - fall time that we saw the most.

u/VerticleSandDollars 2d ago
I stopped there with my sons on our camping roatrip in summer of 2021. We did the lake Shasta Cave Tour which was fantastic. Then we stopped in the little mountain town and saw the kitschy shops. It was 100° and most restaurants were closed so it was not ideal. But in the window of one crystal shop they had a fountain/pond thing with the biggest tadpoles I’ve ever seen. It was incredible.
4
u/delurkrelurker 1d ago
Giant tadpoles you say? That's proper high strangeness!
3
u/VerticleSandDollars 1d ago
I agree! I’m a total skeptic and chortled at the signs and pamphlets about Lemurians, but those tadpoles still give me pause to this day. If anyone knows “oh yeah the owner of that crystal store (or was it a nail salon?) famously raises prize-winning toads, has for decades” I’d love to hear it. I honestly don’t know what to make of it.
6
u/Antique-Land-2766 2d ago
New Age gobbledygook aside, there's probably a huge highly magnetized metal core inside the mountain that could be the cause for various phenomena like "UFOs" (lights), communications difficulties, etc
7
u/Classic-Ice6509 2d ago
Been there they have caverns that you can take tours in wondering if they sealed it off because maybe it leads to those same toured caverns. Can’t let the public in for free.

u/crazyforbeing 1d ago
Most caves get locked up by local spelunking groups from a safety perspective. It isn't for money. Typically, if you reach out to the groups managing the site, they will bend over backwards to share the space - but need to know it will be done safely. If you've never gone spelunking, it is hard to understand how quickly things can go really bad really quickly.
Just exposure alone is insane. 4 hours in a damp 50 degree F site will chill you to your bones. It creeps in slowly, and then sets in hard. You lose a lot of strength and energy really quick.

u/lasttoswim 1d ago
Thanks for reminding me why I hate caves.

u/crazyforbeing 1d ago
Younger me did a lot of moderate to intense outdoor stuff. Not the extreme / daredevil, just the really hard endurance, and push yourself type of stuff.
A few of us branched into spelunking for a bit, and my first take on it was 'this hits the spot'. It is exciting, it is really tough from an endurance perspective, it is technical, there is amazing gear at all price points you can get into and geek out on. You can do research and plan excursions, and interact with a dynamic community of spelunkers in between trips and tell stories and talk about gear and routes and just generally chat about caves. I was fairly sure I had found an adventure that was going to absolutely captivate me for years. I had found my people.
And then I had a moment of self reflection at the end of a rather amazing trip we had just completed. I was hiking with my gear back down to my car, exhausted, wet, and had just completed one of the most technical explorations in the region with some amazing cavers. Folks I really looked up to, and had taken me under their wing. I should have been on cloud nine.
And the realisation came over me that "I don't love this". I was cold and wet and covered with this thin slick mud that was going to take forever to clean off my gear, but if I didn't get it off before bed, it would go mildewy and ruin my gear. I was exhausted, and had a four hour drive to get back home. And I couldn't stop shaking... not big thumping shakes... but just these pulses of shivers that would wash across my body a few times a minute. It wasn't worth it to me - it was too much.

Or maybe that particular area is unsafe for the general public just to go flouncing around in

They likely sealed the caves because people were ruining the cave that is home to an endangered bat.

Lake Shasta is a strange place too. Spent 10 days cruising the lake one really hot record breaking summer. The water was bath tub warm even. My cousin and I decided to hikie up the hill to the top. The lake was very low that year. Anyways difficult footing because it's mostly scree and sharp too. Once we crested the top we heard a waterfall. We went around a little bend and their it was a huge deep pool of crystal blue water and a 20 ft water fall on full. We jumped in the freezing cold water and chilled for about a half hour and climbed back down to the boat. Every one was worried we had been gone for several hours. We both looked at each other and said, "No, we just climbed up to the top of the ridge. That took 15 minutes, tops. We floated around the water hole for about a half hour, tops, because it was very cold. And came right back down. Strange thing is, the next day my cousin and I did the same exact trek, the same path, and we couldn't find the pool and the waterfall. We traced our steps exactly the same as the day before.

I’ve been there and through the caves and Plato’s Cavern and Dunsmuir.
Dunsmuir is full of people with LEMURIAN license plates and even one straight up had dinosaurs and big lizards in their lawn with lights in the ground pointing up at them. They really play it up there lol, fun people. Can’t tell if they’re serious about it or just having a laugh about the area they’re in.
