Why I will NEVER VISIT Crater Lake Oregon 

Can you legally go hiking around on the island?

@@jenniferroach4153 Yes of course! However, the boat tours have to be open. Usually during spring-summer.

@@GoreTorn16 I would love to visit for the island alone. If I ever make it to that side of the states I will definitely include this in my list of adventures! Thank you so much for your reply.

@@jenniferroach4153 No problem! Safe travels!

Can I go kayaking on Crater lake? 👀

That's why I will not stay in a public campground, drunken idiots.

Haha

I've seen sober people do that lol

Yikes! That's really scary!! 😆

Why? What happens?

I live in Klamath falls born and raised.

@@MrPsh-xs7ul Beautiful country Mr. Psh

@@paulespinoza974 yes sir it is. I enjoy seeing old pictures and hearing stories from back in the day. My grandma and grandpa used to tell me old stories and to this day I pass those stories onto my kids

@@MrPsh-xs7ul Fair weather my friend.

@@MrPsh-xs7ul: My son was born in Klamath Falls, New Years Eve 1971. There was 6ft. of snow in the basin that winter. Kingsley Field was my very first assignment in the U.S.A.F, but I actually worked atop Haymaker Mountain at 25th NORAD Keno RADAR Station not far from KF. The RADAR Station's gone now, replaced by satellites. Loved the area with all the lakes & wildlife, and damn near rode the wheels off my dirt bike.

I've never heard of them either. My Great-Aunt lived in Oregan, and my grandparents would go and visit her about every other year. They always made a trip to Crater Lake, camped up around there somewhere, and did whatever activities there were. I remember seeing the lake and camping somewhere around there too when I was 5, and it's what I remember most of the two weeks we were in Oregan. This is the first I've heard of any mysteries or of 'the old man.' To visit there again is on my bucket list.

Yes, I visited Oregon several times and then retired here. Have visited Crater Lake three times, including once a trip around in a park shuttle, with narrative from a ranger. No one ever mentioned mysteries to me, and the NPS literature and signage doesn't mention anything.

I've only managed to visit Crater Lake once immediately after the solar eclipse of 2017, and it was mostly shrouded in smoke from nearby wildfires, but what I could see was still beautiful. The waterfall on the S.E. side, seen from the access road was stunning. People love making up mysterious and supernatural stories, especially if it brings them clicks on RU-vid. It's just mythology. Crater Lake is a wonder to see and visit. Will do it again when I get the opportunity.

It's from this absolutely retarded conspiracy theory called "Missing 411" I despise it. I love most mysteries that aren't like this, it's the disrespectful and cheap nature of gaudy serial killer macabre-porn but extremely vague and paranormal at the same time, as if they are fictional people and nobody is grieving.

That's because us Oregonians ACTUALLY HAVE BEEN there, so the "Made Up Stories" don't "Work" for US, "Q-Anon" anyone?

exactly !!

Or ghosts.

All this.

I live oregon I’ve been here my whole life have gone and stayed at so many of these rivers in Oregon and they’re so beautiful and everyone is just family’s dude

here here ... respect nature and it will tolerate you... a magic storm when they secured the old man though... cmon... better to talk about the ancient mos around the island or the thermal vents they found while exploring the lake with the submersable... who would be crazy enough to go to the bottom in a boat?

Lmao....Same thing happens to me every time I go to that eerie place in the Desert they call Las Vegas....lol.

Man, I got a list too..join the club!! Riding into Gatlinburg, and any Harley shop I usually visit on vacation rides out of state always makes my wallet possessed!!

This would be a great synopsis for a movie script.

Haha Brava!!

aahahah

That's really interesting. I would love to hear your other story!

@@JP-ml3rj Hi there, thanks for your interest! ☺️. I'm afraid it's rather anticlimactic to the first tale, but since you asked: let me fill you in a little bit… we were traveling on motorcycles; there was my husband, myself, a friend and his girlfriend. Just for arguments sake I’ll imagine that we were going north, it seemed like it, we were heading back up to Portland, but in any case we’d been traveling for about 15 minutes on a mostly deserted narrow Highway, maybe 25-30 miles from Crater Lake and it was dusk. I forget why we pulled over to talk, but we decided instead of heading north we might just camp in the woods, and there was a low spot so we pulled about 40 feet into the woods; we could still see the occasional car go by, but we were a little elevated above the road, so mainly just saw the lights and the tops of the cars. In any event, we pulled out some snacks, cheese, sausage, general munchies… put out our sleeping bags and tried to relax. The odd thing about the trees is that they were evenly spaced, no low branches, they were not in rows, but in equal distances of about 15 to 20 feet between each one. We could look back into the woods without interruption except for the trunks the trees; there was a little or no brush. And it was dead silent. No breath of wind, no moving branches, no scurrying small animals, just silence. And I think to all of us it felt kind of heavy, oppressive and unsettling; it wasn't a peaceful silence. I think I started looking back into the woods behind us first, I'd like to say something grabbed my attention but there was nothing there. After a few minutes we were all looking back there. There was a feeling of imminence bordering on dread; we started packing our things up without even talking about it; and I remember all of us seemed to feel the need to be quiet, and hurry. I thought I’d seen smoke back in the trees, but didn't want to say anything; and smoke isn’t exactly the right term, it almost looked like some kind of tiny particulate ash, like after a volcano, but it wasn't falling, just hanging in the air. Like I said, I didn't mention it, but later we compared notes and the other three saw a darkening in the dusk as well, that didn't seem natural… it was Too dark back there somehow…I didn't feel immediately threatened; this dark “smoke” didn't seem to be coming towards us but there was a feeling of menace in the air… again, I just don't have the words. I know most stories have real creatures, how tall they are, if they had fur, or if their eyes were glowing, etc., and neither of the things I've spoken of have any of that; in some small way it might've been a relief…it's hard to understand being that fearful when there's nothing you can see, but you know something is there! The whole area was just wrong somehow. Maybe it was just that day, maybe it was just us! Maybe if I went back now I’d have a totally different experience. In sort of a loosely connected way, I'd had an experience a couple years earlier in an old house on Queen Anne hill, in Seattle, that was just “wrong”, and ever after that I had a particular ability to feel threats in some way, even when no visible threat is present, and I felt it there, that night… someday when I feel really ambitious I'll tell you about that house! That's a god-awful story; to this very day, I have sleep paralysis events that harken back to what happened there. It was the first time I ever came across disembodied evil, with a capital E. The events that happened there activated some part of me that can sense danger, some kind of intuition I guess, and it's always served me well… I'm sorry this wasn't more entertaining… I don't tell these stories to anyone I know, but somehow it seems safe putting them down here… thanks for your interest… have a blessed weekend! ☺️ ( mostly I just put these things down in writing because I suppose I'll always wonder if that's what happens to the disappeared, just an odd feeling maybe, a few hunches, and then…? )

@@tirzah4930 Wow. That's really something. Sometimes it's what we can't see. I completely believe in hunches and interior warnings, and the fact that the others felt it as well shows it wasn't your imagination, although I doubt it would have been imagination even if they hadn't. I would love to hear your other story as well one day. Thank you for sharing, and never ignore those hunches. (I doubt you'd ignore them anyway.) Happy Easter, and thanks again for sharing these interesting experiences!

That's some paranormal shit right there! 👊😉

And I learned something new today! Thanks for the information!

no y do they move

everyone one should visit. Ya right. Not if they dont want to be impulsed to jump off the cliff and feed the hungry Gargantuan lake monster,

Most majestic place I've ever seen. I have never in my life felt as serene and at ease as when I'm visiting crater lake.

@@saydrar Same here. The color is remarkable, reflecting the sky. I thought I'd seen everything, until I visited the lake. It's one of America's true gems. And not at all weird.

YES !!

​@@chupacabra1765😂

Yeah, gotta say the old man is completely new to me also. Don't remember anything about that weirdness with all the other wierdness as a Bigfoot haven and the water coloration is one I remember. UFO hot spot but just learned of the "Old Man", interesting.

Yep. Absolutely! Birds, animals, critters, the trees rustling in the wind, water, all of that causes noises.

You are truly blessed to have experienced that. I envy you! I love Crater Lake and I never get tired of going there. It’s truly amazing.

Digitize and upload to your channel. We need more home footage online. Thanks for sharing

Please share the footage, I absolutely love old photos and film.

You should post those home videos on RU-vid , would be nostalgic for all of us

Interesting! Thanks for sharing : )

Heading there next week :)

@HearthCricket And not everyone is so gullable to believe in myths.

All believers were skeptics at one time!.The truth will out!

That's because you were the strange thing there. People probably thought you were a monster.

@@stephenpemberton9943 Not true, some people are believers from the get go

Kentucky..., ya ain't it?

That's not out of the ordinary for a Walmart lol

I once caught a glimpse of a saucecrotch roaming the aisles of the Walmart, rooting and rifling around in the 2 dollar DVD bins. It was wearing sawed off stretchy pants daisy dukes britches and a sponge bob snow vest. I panicked and ran

So, you can't afford cable...

@@gmfw9777 I believe I seen the same! Then I seen some old guy had drug it out! Where too?

@@sissyrayself7508 You don’t need a time machine to know this fact.... Check out Mount St Helens in Washington. It blew it’s top in 1980. Since then, there’s a cinder cone that has developed over the years, just like the one in Crater Lake.

@@sissyrayself7508 "That's how you know ball this is true? Or wait.m it's what "science" TOLD you. Ok. Whatever." So where are you planning on going for your health care? Health care is all about that evil science stuff!

I've heard this alot so I don't rule it out

It gives a very strange vibe

It's fine, I live in Oregon and have been there, the worst thing in there is some big lake trout

Just ask the rangers and guides. Fish don't survive after being planted. It is to clean. How can a monster survive if a fish can't.

@@suez8070 That’s not true. There are rainbow trout and Kokanee salmon that live in that lake. They survive just fine. Matter of fact, you can, and people do fish there.

Yes! There are basalt columns in cliffs in the Columbia River Gorge also. The "miracle" (if you want to deal in the supernatural) is that the precipitation from the heavy snowfall and other precipitation is balanced by the "outflow" from the lake through fissures in the rock where water seeps out, becoming the headwaters of various streams and rivers in the area. So the lake never overflows and never empties out.

@Elaine - excellent summary, thank you!

@@elainechubb971 The Gorge is one of my favorite places. The geology of Oregon is amazing and my family used to do road trips to all the cool features like the Gorge, Crater Lake, Big Obsidian Flow, Mt. Hood, Lava Cast Forest, Painted Hills, Alvord Desert, sea stacks on the coast, and more. I feel so lucky to live in such a gorgeous place, so close to many natural wonders and diverse biome.

This sounds like a great place for LA and/or Las Vegas to drop a few municipal straws since Lake Mead is drying up.

Did you defecate on your grandmother's chest?

Weird because titanium is not magnetic at all.

Wow great comment, thanks so much for educating me about it, there’s only so much you can research but hearing from a first hand experience is so much more valuable to me. Thanks for watching 👻

The bigfoot trap is no longer active. Its just sight seeing place. Worth reading up about it though. Government set it in the 70s. Its at applegate lake.

It's contended that the tale of Mazama's eruption and collapse might be the oldest/longest-lasting folk memory.

I have no desire to be in that area. None. Zero.

How interesting and intriguing! 😲

Nahhhh.. I'm good.. thanks anyway. I'll pass

@@sissyrayself7508 I went 3 1/2 years ago right before i turned 16 it was the most amazing thing I ever saw, kind of thought about jumping from the observation rock I'm sure it was a couple hundred feet up but it rlly doesn't look like it something about the big blue beauty calling you in the sheer size and history is astonishing I recommend if you have good self control XD

it's a trap

Bite your tongue. Ha vent you been listening to the wise and truthful words that this young man speaks in this video. You should recommend no such thing. It would be like recommending someone to jump into Niagara falls or into a pot of boiling oil. No sir I will not ever visit this lake after hearing about the on goings there. It`s the devil I tell you.

Saw it once. Wow!!

I'm so very sorry.

shit im sorry mate😞

Damn. Sorry to hear that. God bless her soul

I am so sorry! Your mother is a hero! A mother’s love is forever! I am sure she is watching over each of you!

omg that is so sad im sorry! :./

Sounds like Nebraska

Every single place says this like 39/50 states think they have the most unpredictable wheaten I’ve had days where irl gone from 115 to lighting during a heat wave

I hate oregon weather!!

It will most certainly erupt again too. It is considered an active volcano as geologists count such things plus consider any volcano that has erupted in the last 10,000 years as active. Being a large Cascade stratovolcano Mt. Mazama (its Native American name) is going to erupt again and still has earthquakes every few years, but the most recent recent ones were a 6.00 and a 5.9 in 1993 with about 2500 aftershocks for three months that were mostly only detectable by a seismograph they were so small. So far since monitoring has begun the quakes are centered on faults nearby and are not of volcanic origin although they had some volcanic activity in 1945 called the "Burp". Clouds of bluish gray clouds would form on windless mornings and dissipate, plus water temps rose in area lakes enough to kill fish. Also the water was discolored as if a small eruption occurred on the bottom of the lake, but by the time the USGS got there with seismograph equipment in 1946 it had ended. npshistory.com/nature_notes/crla/vol25c.htm

I dove in and swam from the dock on Wizard Island. It doesn't look as deep as it is because it is so clean. If it looks 10 feet deep it is actually 90. It was a unforgettable moment for sure.

Yes, I've swam in that lake when I worked up there during summer of 1978. Took the boat ride twice, hiked Wizard Island, enjoyed a packed lunch on one of the picnic tables. I loved the experiences, always felt deep love and respect for that place. To me, it was deeply spiritual, a time like no other. Now, I live in Klamath Falls and can't help but feel actual pain when someone goes missing or is injured or someone using the land as a racetrack. It's a place that commands respect to its environment. I pray this place remains as it is and supposed to be. Oh, and I drank straight out of Vidae Falls, Annie Creek and others with never a problem, as well as filling my canteen from the Wizard Island dock. Back then it was the best water, wherever I filled my canteen! When I pass on, my ashes will be scattered around the Wildflower Trail. ❤️

Check out the lowest point on Earth, the Dead Sea, ,ה 'מ המלכ

Try swimming in lake superior . The deepest part is over 1,400 feet deep. August is when it is the warmest and it is so clean and clear.

🤮

Oregonian people are weird .. trust me.. our state motto is "Keep Oregon weird". So yes. It's true.

@@sissyrayself7508 that is not our state motto

Keep Oregon weird is the state motto..unofficial

@@raam1666 haha!!😂

That's wild.... coincidence¿.... I think not....

This guy's a scaredy ass douche. Oh my god, daily the sun goes down and it gets fearfully dark.

There could be a perfectly reasonable explanation. My guess would be something akin to hypothermia--she was either more lightly clad than you and your younger daughter, or her shoes were not as well made or as padded, or she is just more susceptible to the cold. As her feet got cold, her body directed heat to her feet. (In hypothermia, of course, often the person feels hot rather than cold.) If her feet were wet, when you took her shoes and socks off in the cold air, the moisture on her feet could have evaporated, just as our breath comes out accompanied by steam in cold weather. I am not a doctor or physiologist, so am simply making suggestions. But there is no doubt a scientific explanation.

@@elainechubb971 it was 82 degrees that day. She walked the same trail as my younger daughter and I. We all were dressed similar.

@Elaine - ah, the voice of reason. The beauty of science is that it's never quantified in it's scope, while at the same time seeking to quantify.

Thanks Susan! New video will be delayed I believe, I’m selling my house so it’s hard to record! 😓

@@HiddenFiles You're welcome

@@HiddenFiles I understand

I hate thin roads on mountain drives 😅 I live in Colorado and drive through them very often, super sketchy 😂

I think the thermal activity at the bottom of the lake has everything to do with it. There’s no outlet, or inlet of water, like a creek, or river. The lake is completely enclosed inside the rim of a volcano. The water levels maintain through snow and rain, and evaporation. There’s still geothermal activity at the bottom of the lake, so it’s possible that the log sits upright and moves do to that activity. Something to consider, but I’m only assuming. I can’t say for certain, but it’s the likely cause.

I read the last part of your post the exact same time the narrator said almost the same words...

@I'm Banned In Hidden It could be the wrong answer, that’s why I said in the very beginning, “I think”….. I’m all ears, what’s the correct answer then?

@I'm Banned In Hidden After reading my own comment, I should’ve clarified a couple of things. I wasn’t referencing the reason why the log is up right. That can happen if the log was submerged up against the bank at one point, and the bottom half became water logged before it freed itself, and now floats permanently like that….. I was referring to the movements the log travels around the lake. It’s known that the log goes against the wind. There’s no river or creek running out of the lake either causing a constant current. So I was explaining my thoughts as to why the log floats around the lake. I assume it’s because of the geothermal activities from the bottom of the lake causing currents from the lake floor. Again, this is just an idea, not a definitive answer. Scientists don’t even know the answer, so I’m curious as to how you know I’m wrong.

I thought so too, I mean organic material eventually decays into nothing, especially in the water! It's super weird and I'd like to see it some day!

The lake IS alive. It is home to around 70k salmon and trout. Very good advice to go into nature with at least one other person because we are an urban population except for the lucky few who are used to wilderness and can survive out there.

There’s so much reported stories like this, I wouldn’t be surprised if more people saw the same soldiers that’s scary!

Wait what? How long did he search for his bullet? That’s real strange

Hidden Files searched for an hour straight. Nothing. Something real strange up there for sure man, that’s why I try to stay away from that area.

I believe all that shit tbh. A lot of weird shit goes down in oregon in general, doesnt have to be crater lake, that whole states got some weird vibes to it, at least i felt it whe i lived there for 2-3 years, and im from NYC born and raised.. so you could say it would normally take a lot to vibe me out... oh not in oregon.

Oh heck no. I ain't going nowhere near that place. Nope.

Lay down the blunt Alan Wake

And fish?

Did you hear any voices?!

@@HiddenFiles no, not at all. My friend is much more spiritually intune than I and I think we were both equally at peace. We just walked around in the snow taking long exposure pictures of the lake, talking and watching the night sky. We didn't want to leave. Noone else was in the park and it felt no soul was in the park either. I really suggest you give it a try, honestly.

Most likely gasses coming up from the crater, it is a volcano so it still spews out gas.

That’s why the waters so acidic
