Disappearances, Mysteries & legends of Mt Shasta, California 

Climbed Shasta 2023 Late Summer SE aspect CC started hiking at 1:45AM solo. I have been climbing mountains 25years, don't consider myself superstitious, I often climb alone bc I enjoy the solitude. Your mind will wander a bit in the early morning hours, alone in the dark, on a mountain, nothing surreal about that, helps you find self and your personal demons will come up ie. without any distractions your inner voice is usually the loudest sound. On Shasta that night this was not the case. Started thinking about tribal drumming, felt the presence of a powerful force, the feeling was that I was being observed and the music started, drumming, chanting, song. Started out very low volume, from the east inside treeline. Looked but never saw any signs of people, fire, suspected it was in my head at first or drifting in on the wind. Acoustic waves will travel thru dense cold air ducts and blow in with the wind from civilization up in the mountains, but this was different, like it was coming from a 1000yards or less no pitch shift. The drumming and song got louder and louder as I headed up toward treeline. It became loud enough I was sure it was not my imagination, looked for people never saw anybody but the feeling was the song was directed towards me and I was under observation. Thought about turning around as it was giving me goosebumps and heightened anxiety but I pressed on and when I passed beyond treeline the music stopped. Watched the sunrise at 11000ft had a snack and no longer felt any human presence up there but could see some headlamps far below in the dark. Feeling better and moving swiftly made the summit made and came back down safely. Didn't see anything strange but the song I heard was tribal and enchanting, something from the depths of the spirit world it was thick encompassing and full of energy, but with no visible source. Suppose it could have been new age campers just out of sight in the forest east, but what I heard sounded authentic, anachronistic perhaps some native tribal ceremony was going on at 2:45-3AM IDK. It was all in my head- it was coming from the spirit world. I was allowed to pass thru safely. Stay safe Mt Shasta is a real mountain dont underestimate the dangers. Hiking alone only if you really know its what you want to do, and you are prepared.

That breaks my heart to hear about the destruction of the rocks at the park. Why are people so selfish? Another great video, Bryan. We so very much appreciate you and the stories you share. I am a firm believer this is your way of keeping us safe. 🥰

i live 2 hrs away from Mt Shasta and heard its a beautiful place

Always look forward to your videos and research! Hope all is well with you! Thank you as always for your work!

I've lived near Mt Shasta most of my life. I have heard all kind of stories about the Mt. No one ever talks about the little people that live on or in the Mt.

Excellent as always! Thanks for the advanced view! And thank you for your dedication to real research!

The view I get to see everyday living under this amazing mountain. Mysteries and glories abound!

Hi. I love seeing a fellow VA resident covering my favorite topic. I am obsessed with Mount Shasta and have started doing my own research. I'm new to your channel but have you ever covered the Robot Grandma case. I believe a three year old was camping with his parents at Fowler Campgrounds and went missing. He was recovered by the SAR team. A little ways down the line the little boy was visiting with his Grandma and told her "I don't like the other Grandma Kappy" which is what he called his Grandma. Grandma Kappy did a little digging and her grandson told her what he experienced while he was missing. Then things get even weirder because Grandma Kappy then shares her experience while camping on Mt. Shasta. The strange thing is the little boy is now either a preteen or teen and his story has not changed not even the slightest deviation. I don't remember anything about being 3 years old but this experience left an indelible mark so much so he has never forgotten it. Keep giving us great content.

This is so informative! Great job, fantastic reporting!🌻🌼🐝 Keep it up 🙌

I guess some of the disappearances can be attributed to the lavatubes. These can be extremely dangerous, you slip into a small crack or hole that connect these to the surface and your stuck in an underground tunnel that may have no entrance or exit aside from the hole you slipped through. There are stories of this happening on the islands of Hawaii so it may happen there as well… . This is my theory at last, a great video as always, keep up the good work!

I visited Mt Shasta for a couple days of day hiking in 1994. Didn’t know at the time there was supposed to be any weird stories. I had a pleasant stay 🤣

Some really bizarre occurrences. Prayers for the families of the individuals you featured in today’s video. Never knew Mt Shasta had a sister-peak. I’m going to learn more about Shastina. Thanks, Brian!

My condolences to the family of Dylan.I am so sorry for your loss🙏🏼

Thanks so much for all your hard work, Bryan. So sad about Dylan Rounds, but hope his family find peace and justice too.

Your channel is terrific!! Thanks for giving updates!

Thank you for updating us on the Dylan rounds case!!! So thankful his family can have a little bit of peace now that they have his remains. Praying for justice!!!

Thanks Bryan for talking about Mt. Shasta. My personal feeling is we are not alone in that area. Many stories of alien type peeps. Thanks also for the update on Dylan Rounds. I wasn’t aware that the alleged killer had been arrested. Praying for justice for Dylan & his family.

Enjoyed the video🙌🙏 I live in Mount Shasta and have been to many of the mentioned locations. Plutos cave is fascinating, there are cave sections between the collapsed parts with the end of the cave going into complete darkness. Mount Shasta is said to be a beacon of Light for friends in all dimensions. That being said, She can have an intense energy that has unique cases for the individuals mentioned, bless them. Beautiful area and I highly suggest visiting, it’s like Skyrim. The castle crags are a few miles from the mountain and have a very mysterious vibe, worth looking into. All the best! ✨📿🏔️🛸🕉️

Bryan, your presentations are so full of heart and compassion. Not like other wilderness and hiking sites that use sensationalism. I could call you my brother easily. Never miss any of your work. I'm behind you all the way.😁👍🏼🌲🕊

Thanks for your videos.❤Appreciated.GODLESS people for sure do these horrific crimes.🙏😇

I am hiking Mt. Shasta tomorrow for my birthday. September 3rd. Thanks for the video

Thank you for your research, pictures, etc. so enjoy your videos!😊

Great video! God bless you for your kindness to those who lost their lives. As for the miserable punks who destroyed those beautiful God made rocks. May the be punished for their fowl and evil deeds.

I flew out from Canada to visit Shasta back 2011 on a spiritual journey. I'm surprised that I'm not another missing person on this list. I was searching all around the mountain by myself looking for a way in. I had no jacket and only running shoes on walking up this mountain. I almost fell into a tree well, and it looked to be about 15 ft deep. I had no idea what a tree well was at the time and thought it was a bear or mountain lion den. Either way, it spooked me! It dawned on me for the first time that this was a bad decision being out here by myself, and being so ill- prepared. I've skied down mountains before, but this time I ran straight down! I didn't care if I went tumbling the whole way down, but I didn't! My legs were moving so fast that I couldn't keep up with them, so I just made leaping strides of about 15-30 ft gaps. It was incredible! I dont even think I even bailed. The people who were parked at the highest point, probably watched me go up the hill just before dark shaking their heads and then seeing me running back down the mountain in moonlight.

Thanks, Bryan. Great as ever!

Incredible

Thank you Bryan for your informative and fascinating videos ! You do so much research and you present these cases with the utmost respect and compassion

Hi Bryan! Thank you for the video! The history of Mt. Shasta is fascinating, the disappearances on and around Shasta were strange, but I hope Karl and Davonte will be able to be found and reunited with their families. The woman who was found on Shasta who was confused and escaped from the hospital was sad, but I hope they will be able to find her and help her. I pray that the family of Dylan Rounds will be able to find comfort and peace and may Dylan rest in peace 🙏🕊️ I hope you're doing okay, I continue to keep you and your family in my prayers! Have a great rest of your weekend! Timber

thank you bryan 🫶🏼🙏🏼

Maybe the 69 yr old fell down a crevasse. I don't know if the ground around the mountain is solid but possibly there's areas where the surface looks sound but gives way when stepped on.

Nice video. Glad you looked at the terrain closer and included the photos of the lava tubes/caves for your viewers.

I’ve been to the lava tubes in Bend, Oregon. Not as large as the ones I’ve heard about at Mt. Shasta, but still impressive.

Bryan. Thanks for another thought-provoking video! Watching your numbers creep up, Bryan! Gonna give a mighty cheer when you hit 100k🎉

Thanks buddy iv been there strange things happen on that mt

Love your videos ❤ thank you. I hope you’re feeling better and you are well very soon

Another great video 😊keep it up!!!❤

2:03 small consolation for losing, no having their loved one taken away from them!! Such a bright future snuffed out! My prayers go out to you the family and friends!❤ thankyou for this share!! Great job....thanks again..Jason in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 x

Ty for your great video ❤ I appreciate all of the work you do. You are doing a great job getting these things out to the public.

I’ve been to Pluto’s cave a couple of times. I swear I saw a huge bird fly through part of it. I’ve never seen such a huge bird before. It only happened once. There are some ice caves around the mountain as well like one named Jot Dean.

Just have to say, our search and rescue is top notch. However, there are things that have happened up here that cannot be explained.As a local, it bugs me when people refer to "Helen Lake", no it's Lake Helen.. and many other things.. I lived in Mt. Shasta for 20 years, moved to NM for 13 years, and am now back home. This place is my home. I can't count how many days I've been up on the mountain, only summited once, but I can tell you, it's a sacred place. Just saw a video on Mt. Shasta being in the top 10 of paranormal places/experiences, in the US and yes I would have to agree with that. Weird s@it happens up here. But I LOVE it!

I would love to visit those lava tubes.

Moral of story - don't mess with Mother Nature 😮

Shasta is calling me.

Thank you for sharing great videos Much Respect🌿💛⛰️✨🏔️

Thank you Bryan. It sounds like there are some strange things going on at Mt. Shasta. But also SAD. Prayers for All their families.🙏🙏🥵

been there and hiked there. it's nice

I can't help but wonder if the story about that you shouldn't go up on Mount Shasta, actually had to do with that they knew it was a volcano, and then it somehow evolved into a story about not to go beyond the tree line, and it being sacred.

Dylan Rounds. What a huge loss for everyone. What an amazing young man. The good die young they say....why can't it be the good ole bad guy dies young? Thanks for all your time and effort you put into these vids. IDK how I missed this one. I caught the most recent and wanted to leave a comment, but had to scoot. I thought it was really well researched and presented and diff. from most of your vids and I really liked it. I like them all, but you know what I mean.

There are many holy and scared places on this Earth. If a warning is placed...there must be a valid reason...even if it was over 1,000 years ago. Especially.

I believe the PCT trail passes next to Mount Shasta and I can never forget how I felt seeing its grandeur. You see many mountains hiking the PCT but Mount Shasta felt different, somewhat humbling and I did not know the mysteries and myths back then. When I arrived in town, I asked the locals and most I spoke to said it’s a mountain nobody should hike. I didn’t know why and assumed it to be dangerous. Another mountain I saw that gave the same feeling was the Annapurna in Nepal. ✌️

I think that the fact of the Lémuriens living there is absolutely true. I ve read previously in Meme Blavatsky s book 'Isis unceiled' and one of Rudolph Steiner but I don't remember its name, that the Lémuriens are even more ancient than the Atlantans. I would so much like to visit them but i also know that to have their permission one has to be on an enlightened level which i’ m still far from. Anyway it has to be a really amazing and super-interesting civilisation to meet⁹ and obviously learn immensely from.......

I grew up where the Modoc Indian war started and was fought. Fascinating story of the war and no one ever talks about it or does any good videos about it.

We've lived at 4100 feet elevation on Mount Shasta for over 30 years. At 71, I still pedal my mountain bike an hike the mountain trails. Two or three years ago, a mountain biker disappeared on the mountain doing some trail work. Only his bike and change of clothes recovered. I can think of at least five or six unsolved mysterious disappearances since we've lived here. One was the mother of one of my students. I don't believe in supernatural stuff, but it seems like a high number of disappearances...

I lived out in Ca for most of my 79+ years and have been to or passed it many times, beautiful! I follow Dave Paulides and you religiously! I definitely believe in his Missing 411… The UFO Connection as well! Keep up the good work, you definitely deserve any rewards that may come your way! I think it sucks how you and Dave have been treated by Utube lately! ☹️

Fascinating indeed. I always wonder how anyone knows something occurred "27,000 years ago". I'm sure there's always somebody with an explanation. I haven't been here in a while. Thanks, Bryan.

Thk you Bryan! Always interesting!😊

Regarding Carl Landers and why he went ahead of his friends when he didn't feel well, according to the Missing Enigma video, he was an incredibly obstinate strong willed man and a very slow hiker at the best of times. He'd fallen very far behind on the way up to 50/50 camp. He absolutely refused to turn back and wouldnt let his friends turn back on his behalf. So it was suggested he get a head start while they broke camp. They figured they could see him the whole way. But he vanished. Another point is he was actually wearing his wife's hiking jacket so he was clad in pink and purple so pretty unmistakable. I honestly don't think his friends did anything wrong, you can't force a stubborn grown man to do a damn thing, even for their own benefit.

Just like Mount Everest; these summits seem to be different realms and portals to attract people so much. People die to get up there.

I remember one day seeing this giant cloud over mt. Shasta that looked exactly like a huge flying saucer. That cloud was way too symmetrical as well. I guess there’s a lot of unusual cloud formations over mt. Shasta based on what I can tell

Perhaps Mt Shasta is on Lay lines 😮

Me myself personally i love the mt.shasta legends and missing hiker stories very truthful and bizarre

Very interesting stuff, Bryan. I didn't know about any of these stories, even though I thought I had seen all your videos. I guess not. It's a long way to go for me, but I want to visit before I die!

I can find them!🎉🎉🎉🎉

They call it "Telos" in the Mr. Shasta cult... I was with a guy once going mushroom hunting and we say the sign for Pluto's Cave and stopped. I got a bad feeling and waited in the car and didn't go up there... oh well...

We are on the eastern slope, but no plans to hike up it, Brian.....TRULY A BEAUTIFUL AREA....Thank U for all ur hard work & info./updates; I am grateful Dillon is found; SADDENING/SORROWFUL! Thanks for making mention of the 2 hulligans defacing sacreds; PATHETIC to mess w/ MOTHER NATURE....KEEP LOOKING, UP!!!

Continental drift is a half-truth... A cataclysmic impact event or mega-quake/faultline could redistribute land mass in a few hours timespan

U should do a MEET BRIAN VIDEO. LOL. It would be an honor

I just heard Mr Ballen cover Dylan story so sad

America does not have a national uniform police service with the personnel and equipment to get to the bottom of wilderness mysteries, neither do the public land owners put up warning signs of unusual activity. Wilderness is at the risk of the adults who attempt it. Unusual sightings are seen near many volcanoes throughout the world, thermal boundary effects a possible explanation, or the tall mountains may have been grazed by meteors not plummeting as most meteors.

Sacred Place! I grew up in the area-Shasta county in the 1960s. Moved away in 68’ Region is Sasquatch country. The Tribal history is intertwined with the geography. I climbed the sacred mountain with a friend in July 1980’ East Face-Wintu Glacier route. At 12000 ft elevation we came upon a 3’ wide crack in the glacier ! It went straight down 30’ then sheared off at an angle-Blue Ice. Fortunately it was clear weather and wasn’t fogged in or? If a person fell in there with no witnesses- no one would ever know! We jumped it. Camped overnight up top just below the summit.

Lava beds national monument is a great place to go lava tube caving, north of Shasta near Oregon. Shasta is gorgeous, been a couple times

Nothing spooky going on @ Mt Shasta; beautiful part of CA. It’s right off the 5 fwy super easy to get to.

My thoughts on Mr. Landers case are those 2 guys werent too good of buddies seperating from him & telling him to go on his own & theyed meet him there. Knowing he wasnt feeling well. There is something really wrong with that. If they are still living. They should be questioned again. Maybe there is something more they would like to tell now. May this man rest in peace ❤ thank U Bryan ❤

*Dylan Rounds* had his whole life in front of him & the murderer w/ most of his life behind him stole the life from a youngster. It's things like this that can cause people to despair w/ it all. Senseless, heartless crimes. 💔 Hope his family can find some peace of mind ...somewhere

I hiked the PCT through the area twice and nothing strange it's a fourteen thousand foot peak they are dangerous especially if you don't know what you are doing.

James Brenner was sentenced a few days back. Never enough closure... R.IP. Dylan.....

Can you do one on the finding of Dylan Rounds body.

I heard this boy story missing young age

Yeah, idk about a lost hidden advanced civilization or anything, but there’s something going on up there. There’s something supernatural or paranormal, or whatever ya wanna call it, about Mt.Shashta.

Dem peepuls gwan fi de nite...de debels hidin an tek fi de soul

15:06 im absolutely disgusted by this wanton act of mindless destruction of geological beauty that we're formed after an almost immeasurable amount of time and geological process!! AND in front of their CHILDREN??? I sincerely hope that they are made an example of and justice is served for once!!! People must be aware that there are consequences for pathetic behaviour. Without guaranteed consequence People will continue to behave like morons and we'll continue to witness the destruction and loss of anything and everything that they so desire!!! Enough is enough!!!

Let us know about the trail

The story about an advanced race being destroyed by a cataclysm and then going to a place of refuge(Mt Shasta this time) is strikengly similar to the story of Atlantis. That's one hell of a coincidence.

I don't understand whats the big deal about those guys pushing those rocks. Please explain.

Experienced people know how to go into those cave & tunnels

I grew up there for 8 years of my life. Been hiking all over Mt. Shasta and went to school there. . The ugly unfortunate part about this beautiful town is that the State of California releases all their sex offenders into this small town with our tax money. A lot of Female teacher touched me when I was younger. Sick town for sure that's explains the crazy people part. Now as far as Aliens and tunnels I believe the volcanic tunnels but never heard of UFO's even though we did see weird things in the sky through the tree line in clear night's. But remind yourself this was during Hailey's Commit in 1997. Would love to move back for awhile to see what the town is up to. But bad memories will always be there. .

I've been in a lava tunnel in Korea while working as an ESL teacher in the mid '90s. Interesting but, I don't like going underground; I dislike caves. Also, there is an area where cars park there & it's an optical illusion wherein cars appear to be going up hill by themselves. Really it is down hill but, looks up hill. Now, I did like watching that. There is a place like that in the US but, I forgot where it is that the cars look like they are going up hill. Google it I guess. Also, a place I wanted to see but, did not have time, it was on the west coast of Korea I think where in the fall the sea low tide runs so far down that people walk across it. The sea parts

Ok. These accounta aerve as a remimdef for me that regardless of how familiar I may be about a hiking trail or mountain. When it comes to my safety, I am taking a compass Locator beacon or satellite phone I will leave nothing to chance. I am loading up

We need to listen to the old stories. Too many clueless people blindly tromp all over Sacred Sites. And like the guys in the clip, Karma Karma Karma komelian.

Thank you, Bryan, for all the research and work you do to put these videos online. Great video. The men who destroyed the rock formation should go to jail. You judt can't fix stupid.

Every legend may have a kernel of truth behind it. The recently concocted tales of lemurians are nonsense, but that does not mean there was no Mu. Mu was the Doggerland of Southeast Asia, Lands surrounding the Indonesian Archipelago were above sea level, allowing humans to populate the area. An early human group related to Neanderthals we call the Denisovans migrated down into this not so much a continent as a huge peninsula. The contemporary peoples with the most Denisovan ancestry are the natives of New Guinea. The Lemurians are the Denisovans.

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Traveling alone in any woods is a very stupid idea regardless

Every part of the world has flood stories because the biblical flood actually happened. Check out the history of the Chinese #8.

“… here’s a picture of one in the Mojave National Reserve that was carved out 27,000 years ago.” (13:52) You said it like you were there - like you know for a fact that it was there that long ago. Yet, according to God‘s word - I would maintain that this timeline assertion is based on an erroneous presupposition. How old do you think the earth actually is? Rather than our opinions and unsubstantiated conjecture being our authority - what about God‘s word? For instance, if we examine the timeline biblically of the genealogies, then the earth can be no older than as little as 6,000 years and as much as 12,000 years. Therefore, it’s important to recognize that radiometric dating and carbon dating certainly have its flaws as well as when people try to count things like tree rings and stupid assertions about those tree rings - they are all interpreting the evidence with the wrong starting point because their worldview is not consistent with the Bible but rather consistent with Darwinian macro evolution. in other words founded upon and unscientific opinion like big bang cosmology asserts. This perpetuates the scientific impossibility that nothing created everything. As a Christian, I know that’s absurd on his face and scientifically that it can’t even fall under the category of “theory”. My question really is to you directly. What basis do you derive your worldview, and according to whose authority? Is it the biblical worldview according to God‘s word as your authority? Or is it the secular humanistic worldview based on man’s authority and speculations? I can’t disregard how many times I hear you say “God bless” … “and I’m praying for that”…and talking about God involved in all these things… And yet you really seem to vacillate and waver between the two points when it comes to where you place your world view and the information thereof. How do you reconcile that?

You colonizers definitely didn't talk to any Modoc. It sounds like you read everything straight out of the books. You should go hike it. Go in Every cave you find. By all means.

First?

Good job 👍 what you do. BTW Mt. Shasta is 593,000 years old. Not that old compared to the age of the Earth 🌎, 4.543 billion years. 👍☮️🌞🗻🌲🏕️🥾🩷
