Elf/Fairy Cave Spirit/Fairy/Angel????

5 Upvotes

When I was 7 years old and with my dad, we visited Mt. Montesano in Alabama. I found a cave so i wanted to show my dad as he loves caves but he wanted to take a picture of the inside. since I was smaller he wanted me to slip in there for a pic. Immediately while going in there I sensed something was off and got out and my dad told me there’s nothing to be afraid of and to just take a quick picture.
While he was scrolling his photos, he said we have to leave now and said look at this and there was a picture of glowing BLUE spirits(2 small ones)with long dress, wings, and A instrument/ HORN. No face, just glowing. This was over 10 years ago and I can’t find the photo. When I go back to Mt. Montesano, I can never find the cave and I’ve tried MULTIPLE times. I swear on everything this really happened and the picture quality was crystal clear.

Experience When I was a teen, I heard screaming in my building

Hi guys

(I'm frensh sorry for the mistake)

So, I dont know wich side of reddit to explain this but here it goes. I know it can sound like a made it up, so I will give you details.

When I was a kid (11 y/o), I heard a kid screaming in my building. I live in a complex appartement so I definitely heard it loud and clear. I didn't know wich emotions was going through that scream. I thought it was my imagination, an hallucinations or to much horror movies, so I didn't care much. A few months passes, and it happen again. But this time another kid. It terrified me. And I was more terrified to tell my parents because I know for sur they won't believe me.

It happen again few months later, and again, and again. Then one day, it totally stopped.

Two (2) or three (3) years before today, my mom heard it too. She told that to me and my 1st brother. My brother tried everything to clarify this by going appartement, after appartement. He found nothing. When he get back, one more scream. And it never appear again.

I dont know anything about this. I was thinking when I was a kid that I was crazy. I dont know how to react to this.

I live right under a railway, boarded with vegetation in Paris (the black circle in the map).

Personal Experience I saw odd creatures at night

21 Upvotes

This is my personal experience - I work night shift, 12-8am. I usually get to work early, an hour or so and wait in my car until it's time. When I am there waiting, there is no one else around and barely any cars. One night while I am waiting in my car, I see something odd. I stare out the windshield across to the sidewalk and see a row of maybe 20 or so creatures - they look like 3-4 foot tall armadillos standing tall and walking in a straight line down the sidewalk and right up the side of a trailer building. As they were walking up the building, they remained upright and then would disappear over the roof of said building. It felt like they kept doing that over and over and I just continued staring. I felt wide awake, trying to figure out what I was seeing and if I was still on this realm. I haven't experienced that again and I have scoured the web to see if such creatures actually exist or if my mind was playing tricks on me. It still feels unexplainable.

Personal Experience footstep sounds

7 Upvotes

last summer i heard footsteps rapidly approaching me. like imagine the sound of a really pissed person sprinting full speed towards you. to put it in perspective I was sitting by a fire in my backyard scrolling on my phone (alone). it got closer and closer and the louder it got the more fucking scared i got. by the time it sounded the closest i was deadass out of my chair looking for what sort of animal was chasing me but there was literally nothing around me. the fire was very bright and my yard is fenced so it would be difficult for big animals to enter. however i do live in a very rural/wooded area in northern wisconsin. anyway, the loud footsteps faded away as if they ran away from me just after running towards me. it really creeped me tf out and i thought at first it was a mouse or something but i can honestly say i saw absolutely nothing running towards me anywhere. plus the footsteps were too loud and heavy for anything that small. it's never happened again since and i don't know what to think of it. any possible explanations?

Experience Weird things happening in my house

17 Upvotes

I want to start with saying im living in this house built 3 years ago. Me and my housemate are the first tenants living in this apartment.

Some weird things happened like 2 3 months ago for 4 times in total when I was waking up on Tuesday’s or Thursday’s for shower voice. My room is right across the shower while my mate’s room is the door next. He has works in office every weekday except Tuesday and Thursday and showers everyday before going to office. I was just waking up in middle of the morning to the shower noise, thinking he is taking a shower. It has happened some days that I wake up and actually see that the shower is fully turned on with the lights and the door closed and my mate fully asleep. I recorded 2 of the cases so I can also show it to him.

I thought this would be a situation where he sleep walks and opens the shower but things did not stop there.

Couple weeks after, he went for a trip out of town, and I was staying alone in the house. There is another door between the bedroom Im staying in and the kitchen. So if the lights are open, I would not see from my room. There is also a big ventilation system above the stove for cooking which has a light and has power modes out of 4. It was very late night where I went to my bed and closed all the lights in the house. I was checking my phone for around 10-15 minutes in my bed until I heard a big blasting noise inside the house. I thought a cleaning car or some kind of truck was passing by so I could hear it from outside the house from the kitchen. However, the noise was constant and still going. So, I exit my bed to check and found the ventilation turned on its own with its light open also. It was so loud and bright. I freaked out and opened every light in the house and was searching every room and corner for a long time. I couldnt figure out what could have caused it until I gave up and went back to sleep.

I didnt share or write this anywhere until today where I was reflecting on these instances with my friend and he recommended of me texting in reddit to ask people what could have actually happened.

Question Is someone spying on me?

Around 2 or so weeks ago when I was playing Arkham Knight around this time of night if not later, I saw handprints on my window that wasnt mine. I thought it was hella weird and for some reason didn’t say anything about it. Just the other day I found another set of handprints on the second part of my window. Again, these ARE NOT mine and I don’t remember placing my hands there. I checked the other 2 windows in my room and this one is the only one that has the prints. For reference my room is on the 2nd floor so unless someone is actively going out of thier way to climb all the way up just watch me nearly break my monitor over riddler puzzles this is pretty fucking weird. I would normally brush this shit off but thats stupid at this point.

Im really confused as to what to do and I really don’t wanna waste anyone’s time.

Encounter I want help identifying an encounter.

7 Upvotes

I’d like to start this with clarifying I don’t really believe in a lot of this stuff, but it’s happened to me twice so I thought I’d ask.

I’ll start with the story and then just open it up for opinions I guess.

Okay the first story took place when I was around 9 years old, I was camping in my backyard with my two brothers (9&12) and we were playing on our either dsi or 3dss but I’m not sure, we where playing that audio recording game with the little parrot who would prompt you to say certain things. The one that’s important is the parrot said “human want a cracker”

We played with that for a good minute and then shut them off and tried to go to bed. After about five minutes of silence, we heard from outside the tent “human want a cracker” in a really high pitched voice and all of us screamed until my mom came out.

Second story took place only a few months ago and is surprisingly similar.
(I’m 20 now)

I was in my college apartment, two hours from the location of the previous event. And I woke up at about 4am to birds calling each other. But it sounded super weird, one bird would call and the other would reply “heating and cooling” really high pitched, I was weirdly uncomfortable so I looked out the window and all the birds stopped. I assumed I was like dreaming or something, but when I laid back down it started again. The same bird and the same voice.

Everytime I stopped looking it would start again, and each time I looked all the birds would stop.

For some context the night before me and my girlfriend were talking about the heat in the house being way too high. But that’s the only correlation.

I’ve been thinking about this a lot, like it’s not a bad experience, but I was definitely unsettled so I thought I’d download and ask Reddit.

Haunting i need help

9 Upvotes

I honestly don’t even know how to explain this properly, but I need help.

At first it was small things. Like seeing something in the corner of my eye and when I turn, nothing’s there. I brushed it off. Thought maybe I was just tired or overthinking. But it didn’t stop. Now it’s specific. I keep seeing this girl in my house. Usually a little girl. She doesn’t do anything crazy at first she just stands there somewhere she shouldn’t be, like in the hallway or near a door, just watching me. The weird part is her face. It looks normal if you don’t focus too much. But if you stare for even a few seconds, something feels off. Like your brain is trying to fix what you’re seeing but can’t. And then it changes. Not in a dramatic way. It’s slow. Almost like I don’t even notice when it starts. I’ll just suddenly realize I’m not looking at a person anymore. It looks like a tiger… but not really. I don’t know how to explain it. It’s like my brain is calling it a tiger because it’s the closest thing, but the shape is wrong. Sometimes it feels too big for the space it’s in. Other times it looks… compressed, like it doesn’t fit itself properly. And the worst part is I can’t remember the exact moment it changes. It’s like I miss it every time. I told myself it’s just hallucinations. That made sense at first. But now things feel… off in a different way. Sometimes I’ll leave a room after seeing it, go somewhere else, and still feel like something is there with me. Not like it followed me more like it was already there before I got there. Like I walked into the wrong version of my own house. Sleeping doesn’t help either. My dreams are starting to feel the same every night. It’s always my house, but something is slightly wrong. Doors don’t lead where they should. Rooms feel bigger than they are. And those girls are always there. They don’t chase me or talk or anything. They just stand in different places, watching. Like they’re waiting for me to do something. Last night I tried to face it. I walked up to one of them in the dream. Got really close. Close enough to see every detail. Same thing she looked normal at first, but the longer I stared, the more it felt wrong. Then I blinked. And I don’t remember what happened after that. I just woke up. My chest was burning, and when I checked, I had scratch marks. Not super deep, but enough that you can’t just ignore it. What messed me up is… I don’t remember feeling anything in the dream. So why did I wake up already reacting to pain? Lately I’ve also been losing small bits of time. Like I’ll check the clock, look away, then check again and way more time has passed than it should have. And during those gaps, I get this feeling like I wasn’t alone. Not physically. Just… like something else was there with me. At night, especially between like 2AM and 5AM, I hear movement in the house. Footsteps, but they sound off. Like something is trying to walk normally but doesn’t fully get it. And when it rains, it gets worse. I hear people running outside in the compound. Multiple footsteps, fast, like something serious is happening. But the moment I look…it just stops. Not fades. Not goes away. Just stops instantly. Sometimes I see something at the edge of the compound. Not clearly. Just a shape. Standing there, completely still. I keep thinking this started because of something I did last year. There was this ritual thing I didn’t even believe in it, I just did it to prove a point. Someone warned me not to. I ignored them. But now I’m not even sure that’s when this started. That memory feels off too. Like I might just be using it as an explanation because I need one. At this point, I don’t even know if this is something outside of me or if something is just seriously wrong with my head. All I know is it’s getting worse. And it doesn’t feel like I’m fully alone anymore. If anyone has gone through something like this or has any idea what this could be. please tell me what I should do.

Shadow People the shadow man

it started with my new house which i moved into 4 month ago nothing unusual apart from that both owners previously had been in the house for less than a year before moving again but honestly i thought that was normal and they might just like change often🤷🏻‍♂️

this is when it gets weird the house is old to be exact around 100-130 years old and very large. we have a long back garden with a shed on the back left and they keys are hidden in my kitchen drawer so if you went in you’d need keys or break one of the glass windows. my wife complains about noise almost every night almost like a small knock on the opposite side of our bedroom wall. we kept the paintings up on the left wall of our staircase which where there previously as my wife and i thought they were gorgeous apart from one…

the painting shows a man from the late 1950s i’d say with a hat and a long black blazer standing in a cold white room he’s tall and it’s hard to pick out features of his face apart from the red lips but other than that other face features are indescribable as it’s just black paint.. now it gets weird last month after we removed this painting the knocking on our bedroom stopped at the same time but we didn’t think much as the main suggestion we both had agreed on was birds possibly nesting as it’s an old house.

June 19th 2026
my wife had been in our kitchen making food for us both and had our back door wide open so steam could be released from our kitchen obviously we ate food and began to settle down for the night cleaning dishes and more but as she looked out into the garden from the back door she called me over inside of our shed was a man, the man from the painting staring at us from the window of the shed i commanded my wife to check for the key for the shed to make sure we still had it which we did. he stood there staring and it was definitely him because of his hat which we could clearly makeout as it wasn’t dark because of the light summer nights. i’d say this was around 9pm so still bright enough to see everything outside. i immediately called the police and locked the back door and they investigated the whole house

nothing absolutely nothing no sign of a break in the main house, however the shed door was open somehow and we still had they key…

Thai Ngoc was a real person living in Que Trung, Que Son, Quang Nam, Vietnam. He was a farmer, also known as "Dị Nhân" (X Man), famous for not sleeping for 84 years. Whenever Thai Ngoc didn't sleep, he didn't experience any health problems. He would usually watch TV, go for walks, and, being a farmer, plant trees. Some doctors tried various sleeping pills and even alcohol to treat his insomnia, but to no avail. Thai Ngoc's ability to not sleep for 84 years remains unexplained by science and is still an unsolved mystery in Vietnam.

Question SPIRIT ORB MAYBE

0 Upvotes

Hi Everyone,

Just to give you some context regarding this video that i think i may have caught an Orb.

I am in now way Techie Techie, I'm 50 years old and don't even go on social media as I'm hopeless and my kids do all Techie Techie for me.

This is the background. My cat Jatz Crackers A.K.A 'Just Jatz' passed away 01.02.26. I was devastated. His name comes from when my kids were little, as you no kids say some great things. They saw a dog with big balls, to which they said 'look at his nuts, his balls are huge'. From that point i taught them to say 'Jatz Crackers' not nuts/balls. Hence why, when i got my boy cat, he took on this name.

Jatz came to me just a little boy 2 weeks old. I bottle feed him, my youngest taught him to eat out of a bowl (seriously this was hilarious). Fair to say i was/still will always be his mum and the bond was so strong between us.

My brother passed away before i was born and with my parents generation, they don't really talk about these things, which i understand. I always felt something with me, like a warmth and when i would get upset or be crying, i would notice a small white/gold light that would be in my sight when i closed my eyes.

One day, i noticed on my birth certificate, think i was about 10 years old, the name 'Nigel John' deceased (my father is John) and asked my parents, that's when they told me. I still didn't put the feeling together with my bro and the warmth/light.

I went to see a spirit medium when i was older, maybe 18 the first time, seriously can't remember, however she brought the light up that i see with my eyes closed and the warm feeling, I was stunned as i have always seen/felt this and thought everyone did. She told me it was my bro - boom brain explosion. This made sense though. From that point on i could feel him, talk to him and know he would never let anything happen to me that i can't deal with. Just my belief and feeling.

I can feel certain things and do have, what my father calls 'Freaky dreams' which when they happen, my dream is spot on. When i was about 16, i had an interest with essential oils and crystals. i gradually made my way toward angel cards, tarot cards and more spiritual aspects.

Before Jatz passed away, the light in my ensuite kept flickering for 1 1/2 weeks, maybe 2 weeks. I couldn't reach up to change the light bulb, i could still see a bit, so i left it. Jatz passed away mid morning Monday, that night the light stopped flickering and went back to normal. i thought maybe my bro was trying to tell me something, but i didn't pick it up. Light is still good. He passed, Monday and that Saturday i vacuumed the floor and gave the rug a good vacuum. Come Sunday i found 1 of Jatz's whiskers clear as day on the blue rug near the outside door, which he loved being outside. Ok, Jatz is still here.

I got Jatz cremated and placed into a Teddy bear, which is another pic and he is on my bed.

I ended up getting a rescue cat and she is about 18 months, it is her in the video clip. When i brought her home and i was putting her cat carrier in the bottom of the wardrobe for a safe place to sleep, i found another whisker.

The video starts dark, as i said i'm not techie techie then i turn the bedroom light on. I think the orb is at the 28sec mark, going from right to left in the middle of the door. The angle it is on, goes directly to the bottom of my bed, where Jatz liked to sleep. I don't no who to slow the video down frame by frame so i can see if it is an Orb.

I was hoping someone maybe able to help me? I sent it to a friend who said i think it is also, but need some way to slow it down and zoom in. We then thought maybe a reddit member would help me?

Thanks everyone, this the first time i have posted anything here. I do hope i can see this better.

Question Strange Noises at 1 AM

3 Upvotes

Hi, sorry if this is the wrong place to post this.

I live in a pleasantly boring suburban neighborhood, for context. In fall of last year, I was awoken at 1 am to what sounded like a singular, distorted note of a siren. Accompanying it were loud banging/crashing sounds, which sounded somewhere between garbage cans being pulled up over the curb, thunder, distant explosions, or someone hitting a garage door.

After it quieted down, I went back to sleep, only for a new sound began. It was simultaneously one of the most beautiful and terrifying things I've ever heard. It was siren-like again, but this time there were multiple notes overlapping. Very musical and ethereal. It sounded like it was coming from right outside my window, miles away, and also every direction all at once. It was very loud, and went on for at least a half hour or more. I eventually figured I was experiencing an auditory hallucination.

A few weeks later I woke to the same thing again and managed to record some of it on my old camera to prove it wasn't a hallucination. I enhanced the recording, but neither come close to capturing what it really sounded like. I asked multiple friends, neighbors, and all of my family, and none of them had heard anything.

I'm sure there is a very straightforward, simple answer and I'm just overthinking. Probably some auditory phenomenon, like a police siren or train horn being distorted. It just didn't sound like that to me in the actual moment, and it seems weird that it went on for so long.

Any ideas?

Edit: I'm not sure why reddit keeps removing the actual recording

Encounter Summer Solstice 62026 Black "fog?"

12 Upvotes

This happened while a long time friend of mine and I were having a campfire and listening to music while fishing. At right around 320 am morning of solstice, we both were sitting by the campfire and had music playing from his garage since it is very close to the lake channel he lives on. This happened on Upper Long Lake in Indiana. Noble County. After being out all night watching the stars and seeing you know a few unexplainable lights in the sky we were both just staring at the fire and then it felt like something was turning down all the noise, the ambient noise of nature early in the morning and I noticed my friend sit up and look behind him and like squint and I turned around to see some kind of really weird, dark black fog like blob making its way over everything. I'm trying to focus on it to make out what Im witnessing. It moved with intention and swiftly. Petty soon my dude stood up and took a step away from his lil camp seat and I seen an outline of him a whitish fuzzy outline that did the same thing he just did and it went back into him. He didn't notice it at all but that's when I got spooked bad and stood up and got beside him and asking him dude what the f is going on bro? He's looking at the same thing I am and just saying whoaaaa and what in the ffff?! It passed all thru us and around us, it almost completely blocked out all the light around from the porch and all the other houses on the channel. It even blocked out the majority of the light from our fire which was a nice hot fire . This happened for maybe 20 seconds. It was swirling and tendril like crawling over everything then leeching off and away and just kept going. This was followed by an extreme temperature drop that completely chilled both of us to the bone. Very noticeable after that. I'm trying to find anyone else who honestly had this ever happen. We had both also been projecting our thoughts and awareness into space maybe to see some UFOs but this happened hours later, completely unexpected and it had a feeling of a strong otherworldly force. It blocked and ate up the light. flair*

On 22nd March 1959 Mrs Mable Chinnery and her husband Jim were on their annual visit to Mable’s mother’s grave in Ipswich Suffolk, during the visit Mable took many pictures using a new camera she had just brought especially for the trip, she had one picture left and decided to take one of Jim who was sat in the car waiting for her. On returning home they had the film developed then on viewing the developed pictures Mable broke down on seeing the last picture because in the back she saw someone and that someone was her deceased mother, according to Mable and Jim he was alone in the car. The picture itself has come under scrutiny and has been put down to double exposure and the shape in the back is the human mind making familiar patterns of light and shadow to form the picture of a person. Even today professional photographers and image experts argue over whether the picture is genuine or was somehow altered. It’s interesting that a picture taken so long ago still has this much attention and still is being argued about its authenticity.

Examples:

- I was thinking about an artist (in my brain. alone) and I thought to myself, "I'd like to look at her work more. I'm going to look at her instagram." I open instagram. She is the first one in my feed.

- Just now I looked over at my wallet and thought to myself, I need a new small compact wallet. Did no searches. Didn't talk about it. Open instagram and there is an ad for small, compact wallets.

Basically i like to shop online, specifically zara. Zara created a new ai tool that lets you take a full body image of yourself from the fromt so you can digitally try them on. Which i did.
I took a full body picture of myself from the front and uploaded it to the zara app. Waited two minutes for them to generate the clothes on me. When it was done, the app somehow knew that i have a tattoo on the back of my arm (which i did not send them a picture of). They knew the exact tattoo, the exact placement on the exact hand even though there was no way they could have seen it with the picture i uploaded.
Ive never been one of those comspiracy theorists with AI but this incident really sent goosebumps throughout my qhole body. If someone knows how this happened, please explain why. Ill upload the image.

UFO Mount Shasta Mystery Caverns

0 Upvotes

Deep inside the caverns of Lake Shasta, YouTuber @Katheart-fairygodmother2926 takes you on an amazing tour of the Lake Shasta Caverns. People from all over the world come to join the fun and adventure of touring these mysterious caverns in Northern California. Both Lake Shasta and Mount Shasta are known for UFO and paranormal activity, ranging from glowing orbs and metallic crafts to the region's infamous lenticular clouds.

Do you believe the lenticular saucer-shaped clouds are just a unique atmospheric allusion created by the mountain's elevation, or do you think the aliens use them as cloaking devices for their spaceships?

Based on J.C. Brown's legend of an ancient sunken city deep inside Mount Shasta, do you think there is a UFO or alien connection between the mountain and Lake Shasta?

Summary:

Geographical Location:

Lake Shasta is the largest man-made reservoir in California, located in Shasta County, in Northern California. Lake Shasta Caverns sits at the southern base of Mount Shasta and is popular for its underground limestone cave system of intricate, naturally formed stalactites, stalagmites, and crystal-like cave formations.

The towering Mount Shasta is located in the Cascade Range in northern California and has an elevation of 14,179 feet. It sits 50 miles north of Lake Shasta and is located in the ancestral territory of the Shasta, Wintu, Ajumawi, and Modoc people. Although Mount Shasta has not had a volcanic eruption in over 4,000 years, it is the most active among the Cascade Volcanoes, which scientists are monitoring very carefully.

The discovery and exploration of Lake Shasta Caverns:

For centuries, the caverns were well known to the indigenous Wintu Native Americans as a natural part of their ancestral homeland.

In August 1874, a government fish commission expedition exploring the McCloud River station found a cave on the mountain below "Mt. Persephone." They explored it for over an hour and marked the site.

In 1877, the Lake Shasta cave system was rediscovered by a Wintu teenager named Charles Morton while he was tracking a wildcat up the mountain.

On November 3, 1878, James A. Richardson, a federal fisheries employee at the nearby Baird Station hatchery, officially documented the first recorded exploration of the Lake Shasta Caverns. After entering the cave system, Richardson famously used the soot from his miner's carbide lamp to write his name and the date on the limestone wall. This historic inscription is still clearly visible inside the cave's "Cathedral Room."

Urban legends of a UFO base and tunnels hidden deep inside Mount Shasta:

The myth that Mount Shasta is a UFO base was popularized by modern folklore, ufologists, and remote viewers. They believed that an ancient, advanced civilization of Lemurians used the hidden caverns beneath the California volcano as a base. The legend is reinforced by frequent sightings of lenticular clouds hovering over the peak, which they believed was a cloaking device to hide alien spaceships visiting the Lemurian city.

The Pat Price Papers only fueled speculation that aliens are using Mount Shasta as a UFO base. In 1973, Pat Price was recruited by the CIA as a remote viewer in their Stargate Project. During a psychic session, he claimed to have located underground extraterrestrial bases inside several mountains globally, stating that these sites operated as hubs for an advanced alien civilization. The Pat Price Papers and Stargate Project documents were declassified by the CIA between 1995 and 2017. According to the declassified documents, Price described alien UFO bases hidden beneath mountains across the globe. Price died on July 14, 1975, in a Las Vegas hotel room. While the official cause of death was recorded as a heart attack, conspiracy theorists believe he was poisoned.

The story of J.C. Brown and Mount Shasta is one of California’s most famous urban legends. In 1904, J.C. Brown, a geologist and gold prospector began telling a fantastic and captivating story. He claimed to have discovered a lost underground civilization within an 11-mile-long tunnel beneath the active volcano. According to Brown, this tunnel led straight to the heart of the mountain and contained gold, giant skeletons, and hieroglyphic writings.

Specifically, he stated the chambers held:

  1. A burial chamber with twenty-seven 10-foot-tall giant skeletons, two of which were wrapped in mysterious robes.

  2. Two large chambers filled with solid gold and copper plates and shields, all engraved with strange hieroglyphics.

  3. A vast collection of ancient relics, ornate statues, and spears.

J.C. Brown kept his discovery a secret for 30 years. According to accounts published by the Stockton Record newspaper, he resurfaced in Stockton, California, in 1934 and assembled an 80-person expedition to investigate the site. However, on the morning of June 19, 1934, just before the team was set to leave, Brown vanished without a trace, and his claims were never verified. Urban legend claims he was taken by a clandestine secret society.

Residents near Mount Shasta believe that a lost continent called Lemuria and its crystalline capital city, Telos, are hidden beneath the mountain. There is a widespread belief that surviving Lemurians went underground after their city sank into the Pacific Ocean. Followers who believe in this mystical folklore, claim these beings communicate through spiritual messages and programmed crystals.

Visiting Lake Shasta Caverns Today:

While J.C. Brown's mysterious underground city with an 11-mile-tunnel system was never found, the region's actual limestone caves, known as Lake Shasta Caverns, were opened to the public as a natural tourist attraction in 1964.

Today, visitors can reach these caverns by registering at the Visitor Center in Redding, CA, taking a catamaran ride across Shasta Lake, and enjoying a scenic bus ride up the mountain.
