IMPORTANT MAY 2023 UPDATE: Three other explorers and I went to the nearby Horton Mine’s flooded cousin - and boy oh boy was she even bigger and more dangerous than he was! The main haulage tunnel goes in for at least half a mile (0.8 km)! Check out my video exploration of this other massive, creepy, flooded mine by clicking here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sUJvgNFyQPA.html
@@biggreenleaf7035 if you tried to run you'd just fall and maybe disturb a chemical or something in the water, and maybe suffocate. you have to be calm or you'll get hurt. lol god knows how far away his truck is, could've broke his damn leg if he ran.
Lol .. but it could be that aliens using high tech ghosts or mechanisms of that sort and are working in the vicinity and just don’t want to deal with humans.. after all ; we as humans are given the right to develop and work with whatever is on the earth lol.. now this is definitely working under the earth.. so it might be under different jurisdiction lol
*gets lifted and thrown by an unseen demon * frank: seems like this tunnel is getting windy at this moment. this change of humidity and temperature is interesting. **as he casually gets back on his feet**
As a ex underground miner - electrician, I've worked in situations such as these in closed 'drives', 'cross cuts', 'stopes', etc, in operational mines and these places are creepy. Sound can travel klms through the 'ground' but not these sort of sounds. It is usually the hammering of the Jumbo Drill Rigs or the Air Leg Miners working nearby or distant. Nevertheless these locations are un-nerving, especially if the mine has a bad 'history'. Great video👍.
@@SierraYankee7 I would definitely love to hear from their experience on it, because I'm usually very negative against possible ghosts or all that stuff and think that there is always an explanation for these sounds (of course, anything that you can't explain is always pretty scary itself)
I'm a mine surveyor. One time we were pumping out an old mine to try to get to the bottom of it, and around 8pm I'd go down and check the water level. I went down and I swear to God I heard a LHD coming down I thought maybe it was one of the miners coming to check on me cause they say my truck at the portal. I saw a light against the ribs of the mine and everything, then nothing. I walked up and nobody around, I asked them the next day if they went down around 8pm and they said nope they were sleeping. Freaky.
Could it be possible there is a ventilation shaft that was constructed, or that the old ore shaft was breached / compromised as to connect underground tunnels together?
Hercules Rockefeller So, instead of being scared of a deceased person without the capacity of physical contact, I should be afraid of 6 even more life-threatening consequences? Sounds nice.
1st voice: “Mine control to Michael, are we clear to detonate?” 2nd voice:”Alexandra… you can go ahead now” 1st voice: “Ten four, be alert” then “Get out” followed by *warning tone*
All I can say about the Horton mine is. I grew up about a little over an hour North of here. There are mines all over the place around here. I actually worked at a Mine Site and was a Base Operator at an Open Pit mine. I was in charge of many duties, but one was Monitoring the Radio, CB that was connected with about 2 or 3 different operations within a 3 mile radius. I would hear calls out all day, from Blasting Crew, Equipment, Trucking Runs etc.. I will say I've never heard anything quite like this. Sometimes underground if they are blasting, they will call out and radio to blaster to make sure Det is good. Once everything is cleared and in place, then they sound an alarm system throughout the mine. What was really interesting about this was though, the time frame that it all happened in. I've heard det and blasting calls, worker det radio clearance many times. But almost every single time in every single occasion. There is always a fair time lapse between actual Det and Clearance For Det. Whole lot of things gotta be a oked first before det and even before alarm is sounded after clearance as well. Very strange to me. Can't say exactly what this whole situation was caused from. It doesn't sound like a normal Det blast procedure.
J.A. E someone cleared up the audio and it’s seems to sound like equipment failure In this thread the blacksheep did a good guess as to what it was saying.
If it's Equipment failure, I think we'd have to assume it was a Handheld type of CB radio. That had communication with Blast and Det. The thing about it was, if it's just some radio that was lost somehow and he recorded a fluke of a radio failure ? Why wasn't it working at all before ? Cause I guarantee you, there should of been some off and on radio chatter from that Device, if that's what it was. And especially should of been heard from any other visitors after this. I don't believe there was any kind of P.A. System in this Mine Shoot from an Open Surface Pit. No real need for them. If they did any blasting in that shaft or entrance, they would just communicate to each other without radio more than likely. For everyone to exit the Mine, or Mine site area, while Blast and Det did their thing. Which is Standard Procedure, which could of Easily been communicated on a Handheld Radio at the time. Not sure they were used when this Horton Mine was still in operation though, Early 80's ? Late 70's. So to me, it's incredibly doubtful there's a system connected to any Underground Blasting Det communications. The timing between Det radio siren and communications of these two people talking seem very very very out of the ordinary for me, who has a lot of Mining Experience, Especially Mine Communications Experience and having to take Radio call ins and do directs as well as Radio Monitor. To me it's a huge Mystery. One which cannot be easily explained
In case anybody's interested, the voices heard at the end are a mine foreman requesting permission to start blasting. The next sounds are warning sirens.
There was online thread about this exact video when this first happened. From what I can remember, someone was able to decipher what the female voice was saying as it was in French and it said something like- turn back, you don't belong here and then the siren sounds are ones European countries used. Not sure if true but this is way too creepy.
since it was the 70s or 80s when they dug there, i bet it was electronic, and was stuck sensing something, and when frank came down there, it finally made it trigger somehow just tryna give myself closure on wtf just happened lol
yeah you dont' want to get caught in a collapse triggered by those ghosts still mining and not realizing the place is freaking dilapidated and closed down. Someone should send them home finally, let them know its okay and its over. I dont know.
finally someone who was like ah hell nah and turned back instead of searching for WHAT WAS CAUSING THOSE NOISES I swear every single horror story starts with something like this
I currently work at Consol's Bailey Mine at their Dry Ridge portal in Cameron, WV (This is a PA mine. Crabapple portal is in PA and connects to the WV portal underground) and we still use the ventilation tubes like the ones shown.
Thanks for commenting, Adam! Thanks for letting us know that the same type of ventilation tubing is still in use today. I love it when you current miners leave comments with information like that. Thank you very much! You’re probably getting a kick out of some of the older mines from the late 1800s and early 1900s that I’ve explored and documented. Things certainly have changed for you guys since those days!
@@AbandonedMines11 not a problem! I love videos like this as my job and love of history drives me to have an interest in this. And I will definitely be watching more of your videos. Any information I can share or conversations I can partake in I would be happy to oblige. I've seen some pretty neat places just at work as well! Thank you for your work sir!
So the sounds are explainable? English is my 6th language, so I didnt really understand if you are saying the sounds are because of the ventilation tubes are connected to somewhere? :)
I scroll through the comments often during these videos because I get nervous and anxiety and sometimes afraid so looking through the comments is like having other people watch it with me and I don’t feel so alone
This is one of the scariest videos I’ve watched, I like coming back to it though because I’ve never seen anything like it. When I think of ghosts/paranormal activity, this is the first thing to come to mind! The PA thing is creepy as heck!
I live in Kingston Nevada the town just a couple miles from here.I have been in a lot of old abandoned mine shafts in the area and been working in gold mines for years.This mine has been shut down sense the late 70s to early 80s the power lines are not connected and any batterys would have gone bad by now. When you go into mine shafts they are naturally creepy because they are old abandoned mines. me and a friend went into this mine shaft years ago. we did not make it more then 30ft in without turning around it did have a creepy and bad vibe to it which I have not got that kind of feeling in any other mines I have been in. We seen orange eyes which we figure might be a mountain lion so that was the reason we turned around. but I can say we were very uncomfortable before we seen the eyes and would have turned around even if we did not see the eyes.
but if it was people outside, we would’ve seen them in the clip right after where he comes out of the mine. so if it’s nobody outside, where tf did the sound come from
Maybe the sounds he heard were an effect of a rip on the “space time continuum” where he could here the sounds from the tunnel workers back in the 70’s when it was still in operation lol
Humanoids are the only creatures capable of repeating voices and sounds they heard perfectly to lure victims or scare them away. These are facts. Its about a 5% chance its a ghost or demon. More likely its a humanoid living in there and it would rather not confront anyone
@@michialphelps2339 I honestly doubt there is another living person hanging out in that mine, with a well rehearsed authentic speech that very likely was broadcast there sometime in the distant past. It just doesn't add up. Either he (again) stumbled into an area that has paranormal qualities, or he faked the whole thing. It doesn't seem as though he is lacking in subscribers, as a motivation for hoaxing such an event. He hasn't focused on anything creepy at all. Raises some questions in my mind as to what is in that particular mine to generate such anomalies. I simply can't write it off with classical physics.
Simple premise: trusted party has 2 people go to the top mine to verify no one else is there. 2 other people go in and leave a fully charged LED lantern and a GoPro cabled to a battery pack. They're plentiful and relatively inexpensive. Reconvene outside and wait the duration of the GoPro's recording time capacity, or just a couple hours. At least 2 go back in and retrieve the GoPro and lantern. There's your story of what could go on in there. It'll record something or not. Rinse and repeat if nothing gets recorded and there you have it. Right? Yeh, screw it. this one's goin' on the list for retirement (soon). Just gotta respect the environment - if it's dangerous, don't go/further. Hopefully it'll still be explorable.
Sounds like someone made an announcement somewhere else in the system, maybe another mine? It was clearly a PA system coming online. It's an empty mine. There's nothing in an empty mine. Nobody's waiting in an empty mine for that one chance in a decade that some dude is going to wander in.
Those were the supports for the belt line. the alcove to the Right (?) was most likely a power hole which the put a transformer on for the belt feeder. There was no Ram car or other for this short of a haul. and I agree with Howard, it was a PA system from either above or close enough. Rock is a great sound conductor. That's why they tell you if you get trapped to bang on the roof bolts so they can hear you on the surface if you are far enough out in a mine and become trapped. All that being said, from an experienced UG miner...this is just an old works and really isn't much. The mine that I worked in was started in 1934...we did the same and went back into the old works from the bottom of the first shaft. Ive seen some shit, I wish I would have recorded it for youtube, but it was many years ago and phones have come such a long way.
Jason Davis Hey you said you have seen some stuff in mines. Can you please share your stories? Im very interested in mine and stuff whats people have seen there. Would appreciate it.
***** Yes, but you're not actually in an active environment, are you? It could be that there are channels and vents that propagate sound that's generated quite a ways off and which sound like whispers when it reaches the audience. An audience that was not expected to be there. One of the logical fallacies in stories that play in abandoned caves / mines is that someone decides to enter there, for reasons entirely their own. Then they get pounced by whatever it is that's holing up in there. Something that had been lying in wait for just such an occasion: the extremely unlikely off-chance that someone would choose to venture into the cave / mine. Because that can't be boring, can it? Waiting for whatever might decide to come through.
i am really starting to like this channel He is definitively in just for the sake of exploration. He goes in, explores, reviews equipment, describes the structure with actual and factual knowledge, and then ghost happens, but it's not like he goes in "OK this is an abandoned mine i don't now jack about but they say it's haunted so imma film a spook" AND he doesn't freak out or goes like OHMYGOSH IT'S A PRESENCE OMG a là Ghost Adventures, nor this thing has happened that often (this is the second to last video with supernatural involved, and the last one happened more than 6 months ago, and he filmed quite a number of other explorations in the meantime) This is what makes me think those supernatural events are actually real
"I'm not going to climb the ladder, it's too much water, too rusty." He's got no problem going past the haunted chains, but rusty ladders are too much!
Someone needs to go here and spend the night or go deep into it. I bet some scary scary shit would happen.. even if there were still speakers in this mine and a battery hooked to it.. someone or something would have had to turn on that alarm. that shit is terrifying if ya ask me.
+strocat25 I'm right there with you, bro! Two visits to this freakish place were enough for me. It's too wet in there anyway, and that is some deep mud in there, too!
you gotta go back with a friend brother! you're the one the do it since things happened. take a friend and go for it! please. it would be your most viewed video i guarantee it . I for one would love to see it!
Dylan Seaton ohh hell no im not! I like this dude alot , hes a good man. I just love paranormal type things. and if this was 100% real which I think it was then I think it is the best evidence ive ever seen that ghosts are real. sirens and vocal alarms just dont kick on in old abondded mines
Just a quick post. I'm an audio engineer and I would confirm that this video is completely real. If you listen closely to the audio in this clip, you can hear his camera mic pick up reverb from the cave, including water dripping. When the strange radio sounds started happening, you hear them reverb out of the cave through the exact same space. Though, you could add reverb to a sound which is edited in, it would almost certainly be a challenge to replicate this exact room to make the sound "blend in" to the original audio. Also another completely obvious sign of audio manipulation is when people dub scary music or sounds into their videos. This is basically a clear sign that whoever made the video is intending to creep you out. This video did none of the things that I would constitute as a hoax...and leaves me wondering if another trip to this mine might reveal the source of that terrifying mining alarm.
Yeah, but just like the other video: Someone could have moved that chain while turned to the entrance. He could have someone inside to reproduce an audio recorded previously. Nothing really hard to fake.
Detonation call from an adjacent mine, Nothing to be spooked about in here. Most of my youth was spent working in mines and I can assure you that I've heard worse.
I love how folks who were never there and really know nothing about it come up with an answer that explains all. Not doubting anyone's experience - perhaps it's a good idea IF the conditions you reference are true. In the absence of knowing, how can you "assure us it's true"?
@@mysticallymerry5523 It doesn't sound so scary as u get used to it but in the first year when I started, I heard the wailing of a woman that seemed to be approaching me but never appeared. At first I tried to hold my composure but the hair behind my neck stood erect and I ran out of there without even looking back. Years down the line, I figured that it might be high pressure air seeping through the cracks in the tunnel but I tell you, when u hear it up close, its damn spooky. Like some violated woman wailing in despair.
It would be so cool if you left some hidden gopros in there and let it record a night. I bet it will get some nice footage. But ofcourse money is a problem.
Funny, in these videos there aren't any russian voices shouting. Are you seriously considering something debunked because someone on reddit of all places noticed that a siren, a very generic sound, was similar?
Hm. Similar, but not definitively the same. Is there any possible way to pinpoint the excerpt within that video? The one heard on the radio in the mine, I mean. Not trying to count out the idea that this was faked or even that this is paranormal, I'm just curious. I just find it a tad odd that he would use this audio for something like this. If you're faking a ghost video why not have some actual spectral voices or screaming? It just seems like an odd choice of sound to use.
Yeah for the most part this guy seems only interested in the history of the mine's. He doesn't even mention anything else. I'm not saying he couldn't fake it. But most of these trips he is alone and that's when ghost or spirits tend to make themselves known. Also I never hear him mention how many subs or viewers per video he has. Most people who are sub hungry will boast or mention that.
The mine was closed in 1968. They had PA systems and radios in that day. There is still no way even by some miraculous means that a radio would still work or PA system still functional. I mean sure back in that day things were built to last but no way.
Totally sounded like intercom with beeping at the end of message. I wish more people would think this way instead of blaming supernatural. I hope someone can actually find out the actual source one day. Also its entirely possible he did play recording of something himself just as joke but way too many nutjobs bought into it.
That mine and the surrounding landscape seem the perfect place for a creature to live. It comes out, snares a prey, takes it back inside the tunnel and eat it in peace
07:45 ..... This is what I heard after looping it about a million times :O .... Female controller--- "Warning control to Michael, are we cleared to det?" Michael --- "Rogo, you can go ahead now". Female controller---- "something, something, it failed!" Michael- "get out!" "blast horn".... Maybe its forever etched in the rock to record the last minutes of a fatal detonation blast that went wrong. Maybe research on the history into mine fatalities, find out who Michael was? Just a thought
***** Thanks! Yes Ive had to loop it over and over, enhance the sound quality, do a little tweeking here and there, but after that, you can hear it clearly!
When he got to the first part where it goes off to the side a little and he moved the camera back to the direction he was going the chain really close to the camera gave me a fridgin heart attack
It probably isn’t a good idea to watch this before going to sleep, because it’ll probably give all of the demons in my 100 year old house ideas. But i love creepy stuff, and i’m an idiot.
"Ground control to Micheal, are we clear to detonate?" "Roger... You can go ahead now". That alarm or alert sound/announcement was most likely was a detonation warning.
Sean Dafny on history channel is only about ww2 and holocaust..oh let's not forget aliens, our friends...so I think that the mine is a better history teacher.
Thank you for bringing us this very interesting and informative video presentation, it was good to see right into the Horton mine. At least it is straight and you could see the light at the end of the tunnel. The voice sounded like a recorded message. A mine that had been closed down, a few miles from here used to have a recorded message to inform people that they were trespassing and that security had been informed.
