Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: I think we all like to believe that the whole
- 0:02Speaker 1: world is accessible to us if we just had the
- 0:05Speaker 1: time or the money, or maybe both. But in today's video,
- 0:09Speaker 1: I'm going to shadow that illusion and share with you
- 0:11Speaker 1: a top three list of places you can't go, no
- 0:14Speaker 1: matter how much money or time you might have. And
- 0:17Speaker 1: for each of these locations, I'll share with you an
- 0:19Speaker 1: instance of someone going there anyways and what happened to
- 0:22Speaker 1: them spoiler it didn't end well. But before we get
- 0:25Speaker 1: into today's top three list, if you're a fan of
- 0:28Speaker 1: these strange, dark and mysterious delivered in story format, then
- 0:31Speaker 1: you come to the right place, because that's all I do,
- 0:34Speaker 1: and I upload three, four, even five times every week.
- 0:37Speaker 1: If that's of interest to you, then please give the
- 0:38Speaker 1: Light Button a one way ticket to North Sentinel Island. Also,

- 0:45Speaker 1: You don't miss any of my weekly uploads. All right,
- 0:47Speaker 1: let's get into today's stories. In the early nineteen nineties,
- 1:03Speaker 1: a man turns on his camera, flips on his light,
- 1:05Speaker 1: and starts filming. As the viewer, all we can tell
- 1:08Speaker 1: is that he's in this gray hallway. It's very unclear
- 1:10Speaker 1: where he is it does appear to be something that
- 1:13Speaker 1: might be underground, because everything seems to be concrete. As
- 1:17Speaker 1: he's filming, he begins walking down this narrow corridor where
- 1:20Speaker 1: there's nothing on the walls or on the ground or
- 1:22Speaker 1: anywhere to give away where he is. And so for
- 1:25Speaker 1: the first forty seconds of him just walking down this
- 1:28Speaker 1: kind of meandering hallway, it's very uneventful. Then at some
- 1:32Speaker 1: point he aims his camera at what looks like an
- 1:34Speaker 1: arrow that's been spray painted on the wall. He looks
- 1:37Speaker 1: down at the ground and there's another arrow. He starts
- 1:39Speaker 1: to follow the arrows, and he's filming each one as
- 1:42Speaker 1: he comes across them, as he goes farther and farther
- 1:44Speaker 1: off of the main hallway, and at some point the
- 1:47Speaker 1: arrows bring him to this room, which at first you
- 1:49Speaker 1: can't tell what it is, but then as the camera focuses,
- 1:52Speaker 1: you see that there is this massive pile of human remains,
- 1:55Speaker 1: skeletal remains. The guy filming does not seem alarmed by
- 1:59Speaker 1: what he's seeing. In fact, it seems like he came
- 2:02Speaker 1: here knowing he might come across this room full of
- 2:05Speaker 1: human remains. After staring at this room for a few moments.
- 2:08Speaker 1: He doesn't go in, but instead turns and continues following
- 2:11Speaker 1: these arrows and strange markings on the wall in the
- 2:14Speaker 1: ground as it brings him farther and farther down this
- 2:17Speaker 1: other corridor to more rooms with more skeletal remains, And
- 2:21Speaker 1: at some point he comes to a full stop and
- 2:23Speaker 1: he's looking at one of these rooms and something spooks him.
- 2:25Speaker 1: It's unclear what it is, because to this point he's
- 2:28Speaker 1: been very nonchalant about this horrible thing he's looking at.
- 2:32Speaker 1: It didn't seem to face him at all, but something
- 2:34Speaker 1: did spook him, because he's standing there, and then all
- 2:37Speaker 1: of a sudden, he starts sprinting down the hall. Now
- 2:39Speaker 1: it's clear at this point in the video that he
- 2:41Speaker 1: is alone down here, or at least he thinks he's
- 2:44Speaker 1: alone down here, but he's running as if someone's chasing him,
- 2:47Speaker 1: and he just takes off down this hall. The camera
- 2:50Speaker 1: has now dropped to his side. He's not even trying
- 2:52Speaker 1: to film what's in front of him. You hear his
- 2:54Speaker 1: breathing and it's very panicked. And at some point he
- 2:56Speaker 1: kind of trips and drops his camera, and the camera
- 2:59Speaker 1: comes to rest this puddle looking right up against the walls.
- 3:02Speaker 1: You don't have a clear view of where the sky
- 3:04Speaker 1: is or what's going on, and all you hear is
- 3:06Speaker 1: his panicked breathing and as rapid footsteps as he continues
- 3:10Speaker 1: to run down the hallway and eventually just disappears, and
- 3:13Speaker 1: it's totally silent, and at some point the camera runs
- 3:15Speaker 1: out of batteries and it turns off. Ten years later,
- 3:18Speaker 1: a group of urban explorers would find this man's camera
- 3:21Speaker 1: where he had dropped it ten years earlier, in one
- 3:24Speaker 1: of the scariest places on Earth. Hundreds of feet below
- 3:27Speaker 1: the streets of Paris, France, lies one of the world's
- 3:30Speaker 1: largest mass graves. It's known as the Paris Catacombs, and
- 3:34Speaker 1: it's about two hundred miles of intricate passageways that loop
- 3:38Speaker 1: all over the city of Paris, where over six million
- 3:41Speaker 1: people have been buried. The reason all these people were
- 3:44Speaker 1: buried down there is because by the seventeenth century in Paris,
- 3:47Speaker 1: the cemeteries in the city were overflowing, and so the
- 3:50Speaker 1: decision was made to move their bodies down underneath the
- 3:53Speaker 1: streets of Paris into these tunnels that were built in
- 3:56Speaker 1: the thirteenth century for mining but had not been used
- 3:59Speaker 1: in hundreds of years, and so they begin packing in
- 4:02Speaker 1: all these people to the tune of six million bodies
- 4:04Speaker 1: before they ultimately stopped doing that. Starting in the late
- 4:07Speaker 1: eighteen hundreds, the Catacombs became sort of a popular tourist destination,
- 4:11Speaker 1: but only a tiny section of the catacombs was made
- 4:14Speaker 1: open to the public, meaning there are literally hundreds of
- 4:17Speaker 1: miles of passageways in the catacombs that are totally sealed
- 4:21Speaker 1: off to the public. No one goes in there, even
- 4:23Speaker 1: though many people believe in these forbidden sections of the catacombs,
- 4:27Speaker 1: there are entrances to additional levels of the catacombs that
- 4:31Speaker 1: there could be as much as four hundred miles of
- 4:34Speaker 1: passageways in the catacombs just waiting to be explored, but
- 4:37Speaker 1: no one's allowed to go in there, at least not legally.
- 4:40Speaker 1: There's an entire community of people that are sneaking into
- 4:43Speaker 1: the forbidden section of the catacombs by going through sewer
- 4:47Speaker 1: drains and getting onto train tracks and sneaking into these
- 4:50Speaker 1: little cracks in the side of the walls. I mean,
- 4:52Speaker 1: it's incredibly dangerous. It involves wriggling your way into these
- 4:56Speaker 1: thirteenth century tunnels that are unmapped, pitch black, and no
- 5:00Speaker 1: one knows you're there, not to mention, you're surrounded by
- 5:03Speaker 1: literally millions of dead people. Once people started figuring out
- 5:06Speaker 1: how to sneak into the forbidden section of the catacombs,
- 5:10Speaker 1: there's been countless stories of these urban explorers sneaking in,
- 5:14Speaker 1: getting lost, and never coming out again, which is exactly
- 5:17Speaker 1: what we think happened to the guy with the camera
- 5:19Speaker 1: who saw the eras and then ran away. His camera
- 5:21Speaker 1: was located miles and miles into one of those forbidden sections.
- 5:29Speaker 1: In twenty fourteen, Kenny Veitch was an avid long distance
- 5:32Speaker 1: hiker that spent lots of his time hiking around the
- 5:35Speaker 1: Mojave Desert in search of caves and abandoned mine shafts
- 5:38Speaker 1: to go check out. Sometimes he'd bring his girlfriend with him,
- 5:41Speaker 1: but most of the time he was on his own,
- 5:43Speaker 1: and he would stay out for a couple of days
- 5:44Speaker 1: at a time. Kenny was constantly on YouTube, watching hiking
- 5:48Speaker 1: videos and anything to do with the Mojave Desert, and
- 5:51Speaker 1: Kenny was a regular comment or on all of those
- 5:53Speaker 1: types of videos. In June of twenty fourteen, Kenny must
- 5:56Speaker 1: have watched this video called Sun of an Area fifty
- 5:59Speaker 1: one technical because he had left this comment where he
- 6:02Speaker 1: was telling the community that had watched this video that
- 6:05Speaker 1: he had had a very strange thing happened to him
- 6:07Speaker 1: when he was out hiking near Area fifty one. For
- 6:10Speaker 1: those that don't know what Area fifty one is, it's
- 6:13Speaker 1: a highly confidential United States Air Force installation that is
- 6:17Speaker 1: frequently looped into alien conspiracy theories. Kenny goes on to
- 6:21Speaker 1: describe this strange event, and he said, he found this
- 6:23Speaker 1: cave entrance on the side of this mountain that was
- 6:26Speaker 1: shaped like an uppercase m. As Kenny walks up to
- 6:29Speaker 1: enter this M shaped cave, he said, his body started
- 6:33Speaker 1: to vibrate and it stopped him in his tracks, and
- 6:35Speaker 1: he said he didn't know what it was, but as
- 6:36Speaker 1: he walked closer and closer, his body just continued to
- 6:39Speaker 1: vibrate to the point where he said he just had
- 6:41Speaker 1: to turn around and leave. That he knew something was
- 6:44Speaker 1: wrong with this cave and he could not go inside,
- 6:46Speaker 1: and so he said he turned around and he left.
- 6:48Speaker 1: His comment got a lot of traction on this video,
- 6:50Speaker 1: and a lot of people jumped on and were like, well,
- 6:52Speaker 1: I don't really believe you one, but if that is true,
- 6:55Speaker 1: you got to go back. You got to go back
- 6:57Speaker 1: there and explore it. You got to document this, whatever
- 6:59Speaker 1: this is, we want to know what it is. They
- 7:01Speaker 1: were basically egging him on to go back and check
- 7:03Speaker 1: it out. Kenny responded to his critics and said, I'm
- 7:06Speaker 1: telling you the truth. I know what I saw. This
- 7:08Speaker 1: cave was different. I go out in the desert all
- 7:11Speaker 1: the time looking for caves and I go in them.
- 7:14Speaker 1: That's what I do. This one was different, and that's
- 7:17Speaker 1: why I didn't go in it. But people just kept
- 7:19Speaker 1: egging him on to go back and check it out
- 7:21Speaker 1: and to film it. Showed documentation of this thing, and
- 7:24Speaker 1: so finally he agrees. A couple months later, Kenny goes
- 7:27Speaker 1: back out to the Mahabi desert with his camera and
- 7:29Speaker 1: he films himself looking for the m cave, but he
- 7:33Speaker 1: can't find it, so the video's kind of a bust.
- 7:35Speaker 1: He still uploads it to YouTube and he tells everyone
- 7:38Speaker 1: that he's gonna go back out again. He knows where
- 7:40Speaker 1: it is. He's fairly confident that he can get to
- 7:42Speaker 1: it again, but he just needs to go out a
- 7:44Speaker 1: third time to go look for it. Over the course
- 7:46Speaker 1: of the next month. In the comment section of that video,
- 7:49Speaker 1: people are encouraging Kenny and saying, go out there, go
- 7:52Speaker 1: find it. We're so excited. One comment or was not
- 7:54Speaker 1: so encouraging. Their name was Lemmy Killmeister, and they wrote
- 7:58Speaker 1: on his video, do not go to m Cave. If
- 8:01Speaker 1: you go in, you won't be able to get out again.
- 8:03Speaker 1: Kenny wrote back, what do you mean and let me
- 8:07Speaker 1: kill Meister didn't respond and subsequently vanished from YouTube. Kenny
- 8:10Speaker 1: brushes this off, and on November tenth, twenty fourteen, he
- 8:14Speaker 1: had back out once again to try to find m Cave.
- 8:17Speaker 1: On November fourteenth, when he had not returned and his
- 8:20Speaker 1: girlfriend had not heard from him and couldn't get in
- 8:22Speaker 1: touch with him, she called the police. The police launched
- 8:25Speaker 1: this massive search for Kenny. They knew roughly where he
- 8:28Speaker 1: was going to be because he had documented it so
- 8:30Speaker 1: aggressively on his YouTube channel, and so they search in
- 8:33Speaker 1: that area and after about a week they find his
- 8:35Speaker 1: cell phone and it was laying outside of an abandoned
- 8:38Speaker 1: mine shaft. Now immediately searchers think, well, he must have
- 8:41Speaker 1: fallen into this mine shaft that was almost a vertical
- 8:44Speaker 1: mind shaft. He must have fallen in there to his death.
- 8:47Speaker 1: So they get a camera and they feed it down
- 8:49Speaker 1: into this mine shaft and there's no one in there,
- 8:52Speaker 1: and very clearly no one had been down this mine
- 8:55Speaker 1: shaft in a very long time, certainly not Kenny. There
- 8:57Speaker 1: were no tracks around where his phone was located. It's
- 9:00Speaker 1: no animal tracks or people tracks, and the phone didn't
- 9:03Speaker 1: have blood on it or scratches on it. It was
- 9:05Speaker 1: just sitting there with no new information beyond the cell phone.
- 9:08Speaker 1: They had nothing else to go on, and eventually the
- 9:11Speaker 1: search was terminated. Kenny never turned up. He was just
- 9:13Speaker 1: gone after that. While it's pretty easy for people to
- 9:16Speaker 1: chalk up this whole m cave thing is total nonsense
- 9:18Speaker 1: and that they believe, all that happened is Kenny went
- 9:21Speaker 1: out into the wilderness of the Mahave Desert and ultimately
- 9:24Speaker 1: got lost and died, and that's fair. I do want
- 9:27Speaker 1: to offer up one thing about his description of being
- 9:30Speaker 1: near the cave that first time he saw it. He
- 9:32Speaker 1: described his body vibrating to the point where he couldn't
- 9:35Speaker 1: go any further and he had a turnaround and leave.
- 9:37Speaker 1: The United States military uses these things called access denial
- 9:41Speaker 1: systems around their highly classified installations anywhere where you cannot
- 9:46Speaker 1: risk someone getting in, Like a fence isn't good enough.
- 9:51Speaker 1: They use these machines that fire beams at people that
- 9:54Speaker 1: get too close. They're non lethal, but it's like being
- 9:57Speaker 1: thrust inside of a microwave. You feel hot and really
- 9:59Speaker 1: unc comfortable, and you turn around and you get the
- 10:01Speaker 1: heck out of there. The fact that Kenny was right
- 10:04Speaker 1: near Area fifty one, a highly confidential area regardless of
- 10:09Speaker 1: alien conspiracies. It's a known, highly confidential base. And he's
- 10:13Speaker 1: discovering this strange cave entrance that doesn't look like other
- 10:17Speaker 1: cave entrances, and he's walking up to it describing basically
- 10:20Speaker 1: what it feels like to be hit with an access
- 10:22Speaker 1: to Nile system. It makes you wonder did he discover
- 10:26Speaker 1: some secret entrance to some secret base or is this
- 10:29Speaker 1: a bunch of crap and he just got lost in
- 10:30Speaker 1: the desert and died. We don't know. What we do
- 10:33Speaker 1: know is that his search for M Cave probably ended
- 10:37Speaker 1: his life, and that's why you should never go looking
- 10:40Speaker 1: for M Cave. As the sun began to set on
- 10:46Speaker 1: August eighteenth, twenty ten, Ben McDaniel, who was thirty years old,
- 10:50Speaker 1: walked to the end of the pier, put on all
- 10:51Speaker 1: of his diving equipment, and jumped in the water. He
- 10:54Speaker 1: slowly descended one hundred and fifteen feet and came to
- 10:57Speaker 1: a stop right in front of a very famous underwater sign.
- 11:00Speaker 1: The sign very clearly tells anybody who sees it, do
- 11:04Speaker 1: not go any farther unless you are absolutely certain this
- 11:08Speaker 1: is the right thing for you to be doing. If
- 11:10Speaker 1: you go farther, you're probably going to die, like the
- 11:13Speaker 1: three hundred other people that have died doing this particular activity.
- 11:17Speaker 1: He swam right past that sign and went three hundred
- 11:20Speaker 1: feet to the very famous underwater locked gate. Now, the
- 11:23Speaker 1: only people that have keys to this are extremely experienced divers,
- 11:27Speaker 1: and even they don't typically go into this area because
- 11:30Speaker 1: it's so dangerous. Ben was not one of the very
- 11:33Speaker 1: experienced divers that was given a key, but he still
- 11:36Speaker 1: desperately wanted to get to the other side of the gate.
- 11:39Speaker 1: So he's sitting there yanking on the gate, and he's
- 11:41Speaker 1: getting himself pushed inside halfway through the gate and he
- 11:44Speaker 1: can't quite get it open. And another diver saw him
- 11:47Speaker 1: doing this and was actually concerned that Ben was going
- 11:50Speaker 1: to get trapped on the gate. Itself and would just
- 11:53Speaker 1: drown on the gate. And so this diver comes over
- 11:56Speaker 1: and uses his key and maybe against his better judgment,
- 11:58Speaker 1: opened it, thinking that that was better than him getting
- 12:01Speaker 1: stuck on the gate. Ben turns to look at him,
- 12:03Speaker 1: gives monod thank you, and he on his own swims
- 12:07Speaker 1: into one of, if not the single most dangerous underwater
- 12:11Speaker 1: caves in the whole world. It's called Vortex Spring Cave.
- 12:15Speaker 1: From the locked gate, this cave extends another sixteen hundred
- 12:18Speaker 1: feet and goes down to a depth of three hundred
- 12:21Speaker 1: and ten feet. The majority of this section of the
- 12:23Speaker 1: cave is mapped, but there are sections that are not
- 12:27Speaker 1: fully explored because they're so narrow, where you have to
- 12:30Speaker 1: literally take off your gear, wriggle through a hole, pull
- 12:34Speaker 1: your gear through, and put it back on, all the
- 12:36Speaker 1: while you're barely holding onto your mouthpiece, and so really
- 12:39Speaker 1: the full extent of this section of the cave is
- 12:41Speaker 1: not known. While we don't know exactly what Ben did
- 12:44Speaker 1: when he went through that gate and entered into this
- 12:46Speaker 1: extremely dangerous cave, we do know that he didn't come
- 12:49Speaker 1: out again, and after a couple of days and no
- 12:51Speaker 1: one had seen him, they launched this massive search for him,
- 12:54Speaker 1: and they combed as much as they could inside of
- 12:56Speaker 1: that cave, but there were sections that they were just
- 12:58Speaker 1: not prepared to go search and so he was never recovered.
- 13:01Speaker 1: All they ever found were two of Ben's dive bottles.
- 13:04Speaker 1: As a total side note, when I was reading about
- 13:07Speaker 1: the Vortex Spring Cave, it reminded me of some of
- 13:10Speaker 1: the things that we did when I was in the
- 13:11Speaker 1: Navy seal teams, and one of my least favorite things
- 13:14Speaker 1: to do is when we would be swimming in and
- 13:16Speaker 1: around ships, we would go under barges. And so a
- 13:20Speaker 1: barge has a flat bottom and sometimes they sit really
- 13:23Speaker 1: close to the bottom of the ocean, but there's a
- 13:25Speaker 1: little space under there where you can maneuver, and so
- 13:28Speaker 1: we would go underneath these barges where there was only
- 13:31Speaker 1: a few feet of clearance and it's totally pitch black,
- 13:35Speaker 1: and you're swimming in just total blackness where you're so claustrophobic.
- 13:39Speaker 1: You're basically tight in this little space where you're just
- 13:42Speaker 1: hoping that nothing causes this barge to sink on me.
- 13:45Speaker 1: And by the time you get out the other side,
- 13:46Speaker 1: it's like this huge sense of relief. And so that's
- 13:49Speaker 1: why this is number one on my list because for me,
- 13:51Speaker 1: the idea of being trapped in a little tiny alcove
- 13:55Speaker 1: inside of an underwater cave where you can't get out,
- 13:58Speaker 1: you're running out of air. It's pitch black. I mean,
- 14:00Speaker 1: that is just the absolute worst way to go. That's
- 14:03Speaker 1: going to do it. Guys, let me know in the
- 14:05Speaker 1: comments which of these three places you might actually want
- 14:08Speaker 1: to go check out and why. I'll respond to all
- 14:10Speaker 1: the early commenters and I will pin the best overall
