of getting lost
in the great outdoors,

153

or is there something
far more mysterious going on?

154
00:07:39,584 --> 00:07:41,086
[Naef] There's this idea that

there's another realm
inside of Mount Shasta,

that you can pass through it
into another world.

157
00:07:47,092 --> 00:07:48,843
And a lot of people
in town believe

158

that many of the people
who go missing

159
00:07:51,429 --> 00:07:55,183
are actually taken by beings
who supposedly live underground

160
00:07:55,350 --> 00:07:59,813
beneath the mountain in some
kind of utopian-type paradise.

161
00:07:59,979 --> 00:08:02,941
And supposedly, all over
the mountain, there's portals

162
00:08:03,149 --> 00:08:05,735
that you can access
to go into their dimension.

163
00:08:05,944 --> 00:08:08,279
Even if you go back
in prehistoric times,

164
00:08:08,405 --> 00:08:10,156

165
00:08:10,323 --> 00:08:12,117

about another realm

00:08:12,242 --> 00:08:14,202
being inside of the mountain

167
00:08:14,327 --> 00:08:16,996
that would cross over
into the afterlife.

168
00:08:18,039 --> 00:08:21,710
And I don't know if that's
because of the energy here,

169
00:08:21,876 --> 00:08:25,213
or whether it's some external
force that's acting on you,

170
00:08:25,380 --> 00:08:27,465
but almost everyone
who lives up here

171
00:08:27,632 --> 00:08:29,634

experienced something

172
00:08:29,801 --> 00:08:31,594
pretty strange and...

173
00:08:31,761 --> 00:08:35,014
unusual on a fairly
regular basis.

00:08:45,442 --> 00:08:48,570
It's gonna give back
what you give it.

178
00:08:48,737 --> 00:08:50,447
And if you haven't
done the work,

179
00:08:50,613 --> 00:08:53,283
it's a very frightening thing.

180
00:08:53,450 --> 00:08:56,411
And that's the truth.
I've seen it.

181
00:08:57,454 --> 00:09:00,415
[Walking Eagle] I would say
to the people that go there,

182
00:09:00,582 --> 00:09:04,586
just to be aware
of what they might see.

183
00:09:04,753 --> 00:09:07,172
Be aware of warning signs.
That's the most important thing.

184
00:09:07,338 --> 00:09:09,215
If you don't feel right,
don't be there.

185
00:09:09,382 --> 00:09:11,134
If you don't feel right
where you're at,

186
00:09:11,301 --> 00:09:14,971
then get out of there,
because there's something there.

187
00:09:15,138 --> 00:09:18,391
There's things there
that you don't understand.

188
00:09:23,396 --> 00:09:25,106
[Shatner reads on-screen text]

189
00:09:26,191 --> 00:09:28,568
With its gothic medieval castles

190
00:09:28,735 --> 00:09:30,403
and famous folklore

191
00:09:30,528 --> 00:09:33,323
that inspired the tales
of Count Dracula,

192
00:09:33,448 --> 00:09:36,451
the region's reputation
for being a spooky place

193
00:09:36,618 --> 00:09:38,369
is legendary.

194
00:09:38,536 --> 00:09:41,372
And many believe
that there's nowhere

195
00:09:41,539 --> 00:09:44,417
quite as frightening
as a one-square-mile stretch

196
00:09:44,626 --> 00:09:48,630
of wilderness known
as the Hoia-Baciu Forest.

197
00:09:50,715 --> 00:09:53,176
[Stables] Hoia-Baciu is
a small native woodland

198
00:09:53,384 --> 00:09:54,719
on the outskirts of Cluj,

199
00:09:54,844 --> 00:09:57,680
which is a city
in northwestern Romania.

200
00:09:57,806 --> 00:10:00,308
I visited Hoia-Baciu,

201
00:10:00,475 --> 00:10:02,769
which is supposedly
the world's most haunted forest.

202
00:10:03,853 --> 00:10:05,522
The first thing that strikes you
in there is just

203
00:10:05,647 --> 00:10:07,315
the way it looks
is very, very odd.

204
00:10:07,482 --> 00:10:09,317
Lots of the trees
are kind of bent

205
00:10:09,442 --> 00:10:11,820
in all these strange formations,

206
00:10:12,028 --> 00:10:13,738
almost like
meat hook-type shapes.

207
00:10:13,947 --> 00:10:15,657
A lot of them have this thing

208
00:10:15,865 --> 00:10:17,200
of being bent quite low
to the bottom of their trunks.

209
00:10:17,325 --> 00:10:19,035
They sort of bulge outwards.

210
00:10:19,202 --> 00:10:22,497
There's an eerie atmosphere
about it, for sure.

211
00:10:22,705 --> 00:10:24,499
But the interesting thing
about Hoia-Baciu is that it's,

212
00:10:24,707 --> 00:10:26,709
it's not just ghosts,
it's kind of bit of everything.

213
00:10:26,876 --> 00:10:28,837
It's a bit of a one-stop shop
for the paranormal.

214
00:10:29,003 --> 00:10:31,965
Shamans go there
to channel spirits.

215
00:10:32,132 --> 00:10:34,050
People report
a feeling of dread,

216
00:10:34,217 --> 00:10:35,802
sometimes a feeling of elation,

217
00:10:35,969 --> 00:10:38,721
um, sometimes
even feeling, like,

218
00:10:38,847 --> 00:10:41,683
hands grabbing at them when
they walk through the forest.

219
00:10:42,642 --> 00:10:44,602
The name "Hoia-Baciu,"

220
00:10:44,727 --> 00:10:46,271
it's named after
a local shepherd

221
00:10:46,437 --> 00:10:48,606
who, um, supposedly
walked into the forest

222
00:10:48,773 --> 00:10:51,442
with 200 of his sheep
in centuries past,

223
00:10:51,568 --> 00:10:53,570
and none of them
were ever seen again.

224
00:10:53,736 --> 00:10:56,447
So, there's lots of stories
of people going missing.

225
00:10:57,448 --> 00:10:59,284
There's a famous story
about a girl

226
00:10:59,450 --> 00:11:01,244
who went picnicking in there
with her family,

227
00:11:01,411 --> 00:11:03,121
and she wandered off.

228
00:11:03,246 --> 00:11:04,747
And they never saw her

229
00:11:04,914 --> 00:11:06,374
until five years later,

230
00:11:06,541 --> 00:11:07,876
when she emerged
from the forest,

231
00:11:08,042 --> 00:11:10,295
and she hadn't aged a day
in that time.

232
00:11:10,461 --> 00:11:12,755
So, there's a huge amount
of folklore and mythology

233
00:11:12,922 --> 00:11:14,799
that has kind of grown up
around the forest.

234
00:11:14,924 --> 00:11:18,052
It's definitely got a kind
of energy about the place.

235
00:11:19,095 --> 00:11:21,264
[Shatner] The foreboding,
unusual energy

236
00:11:21,431 --> 00:11:23,141
found at Hoia-Baciu Forest

237
00:11:23,349 --> 00:11:26,686
has made it a global destination
for dark tourism,

238
00:11:26,853 --> 00:11:29,898
attracting visitors who come
in the hope of experiencing

239
00:11:30,106 --> 00:11:32,859
its high strangeness.

240
00:11:33,067 --> 00:11:34,694
When you go
to the Hoia-Baciu Forest,

241
00:11:34,861 --> 00:11:38,323
uh, most probably,
you will experience something.

242
00:11:38,489 --> 00:11:40,491
Something else,
something different.

243
00:11:40,658 --> 00:11:43,119
The forest is known, actually,

244
00:11:43,244 --> 00:11:46,956
for all sort of things,
such as unusual sounds.

245
00:11:47,916 --> 00:11:50,585
Sometimes,
the electronic devices

246
00:11:50,752 --> 00:11:52,712
don't work well in the forest.

247
00:11:52,879 --> 00:11:55,506
You capture all sort of things

248
00:11:55,673 --> 00:11:57,258
that you cannot
really see with the naked eye

249
00:11:57,467 --> 00:11:58,968
in your pictures.

250
00:11:59,135 --> 00:12:01,846
You can be dizzy
or you can have headaches

251
00:12:02,013 --> 00:12:04,224
or you can experience nausea.

252
00:12:04,390 --> 00:12:06,643
If you go in
the Hoia-Baciu Forest,

253
00:12:06,768 --> 00:12:10,396
probably you will have
the feeling of being watched,

254
00:12:10,563 --> 00:12:13,441
and that's pretty strange.

255
00:12:13,566 --> 00:12:16,611
We don't know
why this is happening.

256
00:12:16,778 --> 00:12:19,197
It's not just a regular forest.

257
00:12:19,364 --> 00:12:21,366
[Shatner] Like Marius Lazin,

258
00:12:21,532 --> 00:12:25,328
Alexandru Surdukan
also guides curious travelers

259
00:12:25,495 --> 00:12:28,873
into the depths
of Romania's scariest forest.

260
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,167
And he's tried
to find out firsthand

261
00:12:31,334 --> 00:12:35,296
why it has such
a strange effect on visitors.

262
00:12:35,463 --> 00:12:37,298
So, people, when they are
visiting the forest,

263
00:12:37,507 --> 00:12:39,634
sometimes they feel a s-- um,

264
00:12:39,801 --> 00:12:42,011
like, not so positive
sensations,

265
00:12:42,178 --> 00:12:45,723
like nausea, vomiting,
um, anxiety.

266
00:12:45,848 --> 00:12:47,558
Uh, I also had some tours

267
00:12:47,684 --> 00:12:51,187
when, uh, they were almost
near a panic attack.

268
00:12:51,354 --> 00:12:52,522
Some scientists
try to figure out maybe

269
00:12:52,689 --> 00:12:54,190
it's radiation involved.

270
00:12:54,357 --> 00:12:56,901
Uh, for my safety,
I used a Geiger meter

271
00:12:57,110 --> 00:12:59,570
for three years,
and I can say it's safe,

272
00:12:59,737 --> 00:13:01,322
or it was safe
for those three years.

273
00:13:01,447 --> 00:13:03,908
But most of these people
with sensitivities,

274
00:13:04,075 --> 00:13:07,412
when we are in these areas,
they feel, uh, strange stuff.

275
00:13:09,455 --> 00:13:12,583
[Shatner] What is the source
of all the strange happenings

276
00:13:12,750 --> 00:13:15,545
in this hair-raising
natural environment?

277
00:13:15,712 --> 00:13:17,922
Well, many believe
it can all be traced

278
00:13:18,047 --> 00:13:22,260
to the forest's most feared
and mysterious location.

279
00:13:23,386 --> 00:13:24,804
[Gentile] At the center
of Hoia-Baciu Forest

280
00:13:24,971 --> 00:13:27,515
is a clearing
about 300 feet wide,

281
00:13:27,682 --> 00:13:29,517
and it's called the "Circle."

282
00:13:29,684 --> 00:13:31,811
Nothing grows in the Circle.

283
00:13:31,978 --> 00:13:34,397
Uh, no plants grow there,
trees, nothing can grow there.

284
00:13:34,564 --> 00:13:36,149
Just outside the Circle,
they do.

285
00:13:36,316 --> 00:13:39,110
Something is affecting
the plant life there.

286
00:13:39,277 --> 00:13:41,738
Something also affects
the wildlife and humans

287
00:13:41,946 --> 00:13:43,239
who visit the Circle.

288
00:13:43,364 --> 00:13:45,366
When visitors arrive
at the Circle,

289
00:13:45,533 --> 00:13:47,869
they become disoriented,
they talk about headaches,

290
00:13:48,036 --> 00:13:49,579
they hear noises.

291
00:13:49,787 --> 00:13:52,498
And what's strange is not
everybody is affected by it.

292
00:13:52,707 --> 00:13:54,125
[Lazin] The Circle,

293
00:13:54,292 --> 00:13:56,836
the so-called "Poiana Rotunda"
in Romanian,

294
00:13:57,003 --> 00:14:01,132
it's one of the most, uh,
active spots of the forest.

295
00:14:01,299 --> 00:14:04,802
It is told that
the Round Clearing has somehow

296
00:14:04,969 --> 00:14:09,766
the potential to amplify
your thoughts and your mood.

297
00:14:09,932 --> 00:14:13,186
All sort of interesting things
happen there.

298
00:14:13,352 --> 00:14:14,729
For example,

299
00:14:14,896 --> 00:14:18,483
in 1968, a military technician,
Emil Barnea,

300
00:14:18,649 --> 00:14:22,945
captured a few pictures
of a UFO.

301
00:14:23,112 --> 00:14:24,947
That actually made
the forest famous

302
00:14:25,114 --> 00:14:27,325
because all those pictures
were later analyzed

303
00:14:27,492 --> 00:14:30,036
by different experts
in photography,

304
00:14:30,203 --> 00:14:32,121
which all concluded
that they were not fake.

305
00:14:33,247 --> 00:14:35,291
[Stables] The Clearing is where

306
00:14:35,458 --> 00:14:39,587
the famous UFO pictures
in 1968 were taken,

307
00:14:39,754 --> 00:14:41,297
and it's where people report

308
00:14:41,506 --> 00:14:43,716
having the most strange
experiences, effectively.

309
00:14:43,883 --> 00:14:46,135
Lots of photos have been
taken in there

310
00:14:46,302 --> 00:14:48,721
which appear to show
some kind of apparition,

311
00:14:48,888 --> 00:14:51,307
wraith-like beings,

312
00:14:51,474 --> 00:14:53,601
and orbs of light
and this kind of thing.

313
00:14:54,644 --> 00:14:56,729
I can't say I saw a ghost there
or anything like that,

314
00:14:56,896 --> 00:14:59,148
but, um, that's definitely
the place

315
00:14:59,315 --> 00:15:01,442
that made me feel
the most uneasy because,

316
00:15:01,609 --> 00:15:03,528
you know, nothing grows.

317
00:15:03,694 --> 00:15:05,363
[Shatner] Why does nothing grow

318
00:15:05,530 --> 00:15:08,741
in this anomaly
known as the Circle?

319
00:15:08,950 --> 00:15:10,993
And what can explain
the strange effects

320
00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,621
this area has on its visitors?

321
00:15:13,830 --> 00:15:17,875
A book by Romanian professor
Adrian Patrut

322
00:15:18,042 --> 00:15:20,378
may provide an answer.

323
00:15:20,545 --> 00:15:22,505
[Gentile] There have been
studies at the Circle that prove

324
00:15:22,672 --> 00:15:24,507
there are
electromagnetic anomalies

325
00:15:24,674 --> 00:15:26,634
that happen inside that circle

326
00:15:26,801 --> 00:15:29,428
that don't happen
anywhere else around the forest.

327
00:15:29,595 --> 00:15:31,472
This is not folklore,
this is not legend,

328
00:15:31,639 --> 00:15:33,432
this is scientific fact.

329
00:15:33,599 --> 00:15:38,020
But what makes it very unnerving
is nobody knows why.

330
00:15:38,229 --> 00:15:42,483
[Lazin] Between the early '70s
till the mid-'90s,

331
00:15:42,608 --> 00:15:45,695
a lot of scientists
went in the Hoia-Baciu Forest.

332
00:15:45,862 --> 00:15:48,322
We know that they were taking

333
00:15:48,447 --> 00:15:51,450
different soil samples
from the forest

334
00:15:51,617 --> 00:15:54,954
to see exactly
if the soil is different.

335
00:15:55,121 --> 00:15:58,166
Also, we know
that the scientists mentioned

336
00:15:58,332 --> 00:16:02,003
the magnetic field of the Earth
may act different

337
00:16:02,170 --> 00:16:03,796
compared to some other places.

338
00:16:03,963 --> 00:16:05,715
But all the scientists

339
00:16:05,882 --> 00:16:08,843
suddenly stopped
in their research work,

340
00:16:08,968 --> 00:16:11,387
and we never understood why.

341
00:16:11,554 --> 00:16:15,933
Some people say that
this is because they got some,

342
00:16:16,100 --> 00:16:18,436
let's say, unusual conclusions,

343
00:16:18,603 --> 00:16:21,314
or something really bad
happened to them.

344
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:25,568
Or maybe they just didn't find
what they were looking for.

345
00:16:25,735 --> 00:16:28,613
So, at least for the moment,

346
00:16:28,779 --> 00:16:31,032
we may conclude
that we will never know

347
00:16:31,199 --> 00:16:34,327
what is really going on
in the Hoia-Baciu Forest.

348
00:16:35,995 --> 00:16:40,082
Is there a natural explanation
for the strange phenomena

349
00:16:40,249 --> 00:16:43,419
reported in the scariest
forest on Earth?

350
00:16:43,628 --> 00:16:46,797
Well, I for one won't be
going there to find out.

351
00:16:46,964 --> 00:16:49,884
And perhaps even more bizarre

352
00:16:50,051 --> 00:16:55,181
is an unsettling sound reported
in the desert of New Mexico

353
00:16:55,389 --> 00:16:57,934
where an unidentified hum

354
00:16:58,100 --> 00:17:02,647
is slowly driving
some residents mad.

355
00:17:06,317 --> 00:17:08,611
[Shatner reads on-screen text]

356
00:17:08,778 --> 00:17:13,199
This high-altitude desert
and UNESCO World Heritage Site

357
00:17:13,324 --> 00:17:16,577
has been continuously inhabited
by Native Americans

358
00:17:16,786 --> 00:17:18,704
for over 1,000 years.

359
00:17:18,871 --> 00:17:20,705
Since the late 1800s,

360
00:17:20,873 --> 00:17:22,791
artists have settled
in the region,

361
00:17:22,959 --> 00:17:27,672
inspired by the visually
captivating terrain.

362
00:17:27,838 --> 00:17:31,008
But lately,
the town's peaceful beauty

363
00:17:31,175 --> 00:17:33,719
-has been pierced...
-[low hum]

364
00:17:33,844 --> 00:17:36,806
...by a maddening
and mysterious sound

365
00:17:36,973 --> 00:17:40,726
known as the Taos Hum.

366
00:17:41,686 --> 00:17:44,313
The Taos Hum
first emerged in 1992

367
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:46,649
when a woman named
Catanya Saltzman

368
00:17:46,816 --> 00:17:49,235
heard something
that was keeping her awake.

369
00:17:49,402 --> 00:17:51,696
She turned to her husband said,
"Can you hear this?

370
00:17:51,904 --> 00:17:53,364
He's like, "I don't hear it,

371
00:17:53,531 --> 00:17:55,408
I don't know
what you're talking about."

372
00:17:55,575 --> 00:17:57,660
And she's like, "No,
I'm not crazy. I can hear it.

373
00:17:57,868 --> 00:18:00,913
This is driving me insane.
I can't focus."

374
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:03,749
So, she said, "I'm gonna find
out what the hell's going on."

375
00:18:03,916 --> 00:18:06,794
So she wrote to the local
newspaper, The Taos News,

376
00:18:06,961 --> 00:18:08,754
and said,
"Is anybody else hearing this?

377
00:18:08,921 --> 00:18:13,009
This mysterious sound that's
keeping me up. I can't sleep."

378
00:18:13,175 --> 00:18:14,719
And once the word got out,

379
00:18:14,844 --> 00:18:17,597
dozens of people said,
"Yeah, I hear it, too."

380
00:18:17,763 --> 00:18:20,349
And it was hurting people.
It was causing harm.

381
00:18:21,392 --> 00:18:24,312
Some of the symptoms
of the Taos Hum were insomnia,

382
00:18:24,478 --> 00:18:27,398
nausea, anxiety.

383
00:18:27,565 --> 00:18:29,025
And, interestingly,

384
00:18:29,191 --> 00:18:31,736
it's not like the people in Taos
who have heard the hum

385
00:18:31,944 --> 00:18:33,321
had especially good hearing.

386
00:18:33,487 --> 00:18:34,989
Some people were half deaf.

387
00:18:35,156 --> 00:18:36,616
Some people were great hearers.

388
00:18:36,782 --> 00:18:39,410
So, that was really
what was puzzling.

389
00:18:40,453 --> 00:18:42,538
[Shatner] What is
the unidentified sound

390
00:18:42,747 --> 00:18:45,124
that only seems to affect
some of the residents

391
00:18:45,291 --> 00:18:47,293
in Taos, New Mexico?

392
00:18:47,460 --> 00:18:51,005
It's a question that's been
asked for over 30 years.

393
00:18:51,172 --> 00:18:54,842
Cisco Guevara has
lived in the area

394
00:18:54,967 --> 00:18:56,636
for most of his life,

395
00:18:56,802 --> 00:19:00,973
and he first heard
the infamous Hum in the 1990s.

396
00:19:01,140 --> 00:19:05,061
[Guevara] Years ago,
I was at a remote camp.

397
00:19:05,269 --> 00:19:06,646
I have a rafting company,
we do a lot of camping

398
00:19:06,812 --> 00:19:08,606
in remote places.

399
00:19:08,773 --> 00:19:11,734
After a long, hard day,
I was pretty exhausted.

400
00:19:12,818 --> 00:19:16,030
And I made my bed
and I laid down,

401
00:19:16,197 --> 00:19:21,118
and as soon as my head
hit the pillow, I heard it...

402
00:19:22,662 --> 00:19:23,996
...and I shot up.

403
00:19:24,163 --> 00:19:26,290
I was like,
"Oh, my God, it's real.

404
00:19:26,457 --> 00:19:29,043
This is, this is not good."

405
00:19:29,210 --> 00:19:31,712
And I laid back down
to make sure I wasn't

406
00:19:31,879 --> 00:19:33,839
mishearing something.

407
00:19:33,964 --> 00:19:37,593
And every time I laid down,
it was definitely there.

408
00:19:39,053 --> 00:19:43,099
A very man-made,
machine kind of sound.

409
00:19:43,307 --> 00:19:45,685
You know, it's a real thing.

410
00:19:45,810 --> 00:19:49,105
It was kind of like
inside my skull,

411
00:19:49,271 --> 00:19:52,400
and it was not comfortable.

412
00:19:53,484 --> 00:19:55,945
In town, a lot of people
were experiencing

413
00:19:56,112 --> 00:19:59,907
a lot of anxiety and headaches
and they couldn't sleep,

414
00:20:00,074 --> 00:20:02,284
and it was
definitely a major factor,

415
00:20:02,451 --> 00:20:05,413
and their quality of life
was going downhill fast.

416
00:20:06,539 --> 00:20:08,374
[Shatner] Depending
on the survey, anywhere

417
00:20:08,541 --> 00:20:12,795
from two to 11 percent of Taos
residents can hear the Hum.

418
00:20:12,962 --> 00:20:14,922
But why so few?

419
00:20:15,089 --> 00:20:18,718
In the early 1990s,
the University of New Mexico,

420
00:20:18,843 --> 00:20:21,637
and other esteemed institutions

421
00:20:21,804 --> 00:20:23,931
like the Los Alamos
National Laboratory,

422
00:20:24,098 --> 00:20:28,936
cooperated to investigate
this unnerving noise.

423
00:20:29,937 --> 00:20:32,857
The Hum is described as sounding

424
00:20:33,065 --> 00:20:36,902
like a low diesel motor
operating in the distance.

425
00:20:37,111 --> 00:20:39,697
-[thrumming] -It's described
as coming from nowhere

426
00:20:39,905 --> 00:20:41,991
and everywhere at the same time.

427
00:20:43,033 --> 00:20:45,286
So is there
some type of machinery,

428
00:20:45,453 --> 00:20:47,538
industrial explanation
for this somewhere?

429
00:20:47,747 --> 00:20:49,206
They can't find it.

430
00:20:49,373 --> 00:20:51,917
Maybe it's a military,
a government operation.

431
00:20:52,084 --> 00:20:54,170
But there's no documentation
of that anywhere.

432
00:20:54,336 --> 00:20:55,963
It still wouldn't explain

433
00:20:56,088 --> 00:20:58,924
why only a small percentage
of people experience this.

434
00:20:59,967 --> 00:21:01,761
[Radford] One of the theories
was that the Taos Hum

435
00:21:01,886 --> 00:21:05,139
was an auditory hallucination,
like tinnitus, right?

436
00:21:05,347 --> 00:21:07,224
Auditory hallucinations

437
00:21:07,391 --> 00:21:09,310
have been documented.
Like, people do hear

438
00:21:09,477 --> 00:21:10,811
things that aren't there.

439
00:21:11,854 --> 00:21:15,816
[Glen MacPherson] Mass hysteria
is a very fair question,

440
00:21:15,983 --> 00:21:21,280
but approximately 75%
to 80% of the people

441
00:21:21,405 --> 00:21:23,115
who learn about the Hum

442
00:21:23,282 --> 00:21:25,409
do so independently,

443
00:21:25,576 --> 00:21:27,286
through independent research

444
00:21:27,453 --> 00:21:29,872
and not because they heard it
from somebody else.

445
00:21:30,039 --> 00:21:33,167
That itself is a pretty
powerful piece of evidence

446
00:21:33,334 --> 00:21:35,336
against mass hysteria.

447
00:21:35,544 --> 00:21:39,423
In the end, um, they were
still left with a mystery.

448
00:21:39,632 --> 00:21:42,676
[Shatner] Glen MacPherson has
been investigating the phenomena

449
00:21:42,843 --> 00:21:44,094
since 2012.

450
00:21:44,261 --> 00:21:46,347
And according to his research,

451
00:21:46,514 --> 00:21:49,809
the Taos Hum is
not only reported as something

452
00:21:49,975 --> 00:21:51,602
that can be heard--

453
00:21:51,769 --> 00:21:55,856
for some, this bizarre sound
can also be felt.

454
00:21:56,023 --> 00:21:57,274
[MacPherson] Sounds

455
00:21:57,441 --> 00:21:59,443
can have
a very unsettling effect

456
00:21:59,568 --> 00:22:00,986
in general on the human body.

457
00:22:01,153 --> 00:22:03,531
About ten to 15% of the people

458
00:22:03,697 --> 00:22:06,408
who can sense this phenomenon

459
00:22:06,575 --> 00:22:09,620
report an actual sense
of physical vibration.

460
00:22:10,663 --> 00:22:14,083
Everything from mining
to the electric grid

461
00:22:14,250 --> 00:22:17,002
to even high-speed freeway noise

462
00:22:17,127 --> 00:22:18,921
gives some
of those characteristics.

463
00:22:19,046 --> 00:22:22,675
But what's really interesting
about this

464
00:22:22,842 --> 00:22:25,135
is that for those
who have heard this noise,

465
00:22:25,302 --> 00:22:27,805
many of them do report
that there is something about it

466
00:22:27,972 --> 00:22:31,392
that is not akin
to typical noises

467
00:22:31,559 --> 00:22:33,143
that they've experienced before.

468
00:22:33,310 --> 00:22:35,855
But one very commonly heard
theory

469
00:22:36,021 --> 00:22:38,607
or speculation
surrounding the Taos Hum

470
00:22:38,774 --> 00:22:41,402
is that this is
a natural phenomenon.

471
00:22:42,528 --> 00:22:44,822
[Ben McGee] Our planet itself,
just by operating,

472
00:22:44,989 --> 00:22:47,116
actually generates
quite a bit of noise.

473
00:22:47,283 --> 00:22:49,201
There are little earthquakes
happening all over the world,

474
00:22:49,368 --> 00:22:51,245
all the time-- seismics.

475
00:22:51,412 --> 00:22:53,038
That generates constant sound,

476
00:22:53,163 --> 00:22:55,499
a background hum,
if you will, of earthquakes.

477
00:22:55,708 --> 00:22:57,960
And it's so regular,
some people have called it

478
00:22:58,085 --> 00:22:59,378
the heartbeat of the Earth.

479
00:22:59,545 --> 00:23:01,046
[Shatner] Could the Taos Hum

480
00:23:01,213 --> 00:23:05,843
be created by a natural process
we've yet to identify?

481
00:23:05,968 --> 00:23:07,928
The theory has grown
more popular

482
00:23:08,095 --> 00:23:11,974
as similar audible phenomena
are being reported

483
00:23:12,141 --> 00:23:13,684
throughout the world.

484
00:23:14,685 --> 00:23:18,188
The Taos Hum is probably the
most famous Hum in the world,

485
00:23:18,355 --> 00:23:21,066
but this is something
that happens in England,

486
00:23:21,233 --> 00:23:22,693
in Australia, New Zealand.

487
00:23:22,860 --> 00:23:26,405
All over the world are
these strange low-frequency hums

488
00:23:26,572 --> 00:23:28,699
that people can feel
in their bodies.

489
00:23:28,908 --> 00:23:32,369
And the most recent case is
coming now on the East Coast,

490
00:23:32,536 --> 00:23:35,915
out of a small town
on Long Island Sound,

491
00:23:36,081 --> 00:23:37,833
West Haven, Connecticut.

492
00:23:40,461 --> 00:23:43,714
[MacPherson] If you take a look
at a map of population density

493
00:23:43,881 --> 00:23:48,427
of North America and overlay it
with the World Hum Map,

494
00:23:48,594 --> 00:23:51,138
you'll see
a very clean density line

495
00:23:51,347 --> 00:23:54,516
running from
roughly Winnipeg, Manitoba,

496
00:23:54,683 --> 00:23:56,936
down to Laredo, Texas.

497
00:23:57,144 --> 00:23:58,437
So I think

498
00:23:58,604 --> 00:24:00,147
it's fair to assume

499
00:24:00,314 --> 00:24:02,066
the number of potential
Hum hearers in North America

500
00:24:02,232 --> 00:24:03,442
could be vast.

501
00:24:03,609 --> 00:24:05,069
Many hundreds of thousands,

502
00:24:05,235 --> 00:24:07,613
possibly millions.

503
00:24:08,697 --> 00:24:11,325
[Guevara] The fact that the Hum
is heard around the world,

504
00:24:11,450 --> 00:24:16,538
it leads me to believe
that maybe there is

505
00:24:16,747 --> 00:24:20,793
a more nature-based explanation.

506
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:22,878
It's everywhere.

507
00:24:23,045 --> 00:24:26,799
So if you want to be open
to that kind of energy,

508
00:24:26,924 --> 00:24:28,258
check it out.

509
00:24:28,467 --> 00:24:29,843
You might be one
of the two percent

510
00:24:29,969 --> 00:24:32,721
that can hear it,
'cause it exists.

511
00:24:32,846 --> 00:24:36,642
What is the source
of the strange Taos Hum?

512
00:24:36,809 --> 00:24:39,853
I'd say it's a good thing
that not everyone can hear it.

513
00:24:40,020 --> 00:24:42,147
But...

514
00:24:42,314 --> 00:24:44,358
just south
of the New Mexican desert

515
00:24:44,525 --> 00:24:47,528
is another unnerving
natural anomaly.

516
00:24:47,695 --> 00:24:50,155
This one can't be heard or seen,

517
00:24:50,322 --> 00:24:54,118
yet it is
so magnetically powerful

518
00:24:54,243 --> 00:24:55,661
it's been named

519
00:24:55,869 --> 00:24:58,706
the Zone of Silence.

520
00:25:02,251 --> 00:25:04,920
[Shatner] The Mapimí Biosphere
Reserve, Northern Mexico.

521
00:25:06,005 --> 00:25:09,758
This largely uninhabited expanse
of the Chihuahuan Desert

522
00:25:09,925 --> 00:25:14,346
is the primary habitat for
the endangered Bolson tortoise.

523
00:25:14,513 --> 00:25:16,306
But for human beings,

524
00:25:16,473 --> 00:25:19,226
this extremely hot,
dry environment also contains

525
00:25:19,393 --> 00:25:22,563
one of the most dangerous places
to be stranded

526
00:25:22,730 --> 00:25:24,565
in North America--

527
00:25:24,732 --> 00:25:30,529
a 30-mile stretch of desert
known as the Zone of Silence.

528
00:25:31,572 --> 00:25:35,034
[Stables] It was given the name
the Zone of Silence in 1966,

529
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:38,203
when a local petroleum company
were testing out the area

530
00:25:38,370 --> 00:25:40,080
for oil surveys and they found

531
00:25:40,205 --> 00:25:42,374
that their radio transmitters
suddenly stopped working

532
00:25:42,541 --> 00:25:45,085
and they weren't getting
any signals in or out.

533
00:25:45,669 --> 00:25:47,838
And so the company called it
the Zone of Silence,

534
00:25:47,963 --> 00:25:50,257
and the name stuck.

535
00:25:51,300 --> 00:25:54,928
[Radford] The Zone of Silence
is a place where, allegedly,

536
00:25:55,095 --> 00:25:56,930
things that should work
don't work.

537
00:25:57,973 --> 00:25:59,850
Radio transmissions drop,

538
00:26:00,017 --> 00:26:01,977
compasses spin wildly,

539
00:26:02,186 --> 00:26:03,771
technology just fails.

540
00:26:03,937 --> 00:26:05,564
If the stories are true,

541
00:26:05,731 --> 00:26:08,192
you can see why it would be
a terrifying place to be.

542
00:26:09,276 --> 00:26:11,695
You're in the desert,
which is inherently hostile,

543
00:26:11,862 --> 00:26:13,906
and you can't call out
for help, right?

544
00:26:14,073 --> 00:26:15,449
You're on your own.

545
00:26:17,284 --> 00:26:18,619
[Gentile] You can't get
a cell phone signal.

546
00:26:18,827 --> 00:26:20,746
You can't get a radio signal.

547
00:26:20,913 --> 00:26:23,082
This is something that's been
investigated by the military,

548
00:26:23,248 --> 00:26:24,833
by governments, by researchers,

549
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,503
by universities. Nobody knows.

550
00:26:28,921 --> 00:26:32,633
[Shatner] What causes technology
to completely malfunction

551
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:34,843
in the Zone of Silence?

552
00:26:34,968 --> 00:26:36,762
While there are
no definitive answers,

553
00:26:36,929 --> 00:26:40,265
local investigator
Benjamín Palacios

554
00:26:40,432 --> 00:26:43,977
has spent years trying
to unravel the secrets

555
00:26:44,186 --> 00:26:46,605
of this dangerous environment.

556
00:26:47,648 --> 00:26:49,316
[speaking Spanish]

557
00:26:49,483 --> 00:26:51,151
[translated] Very often,
it has happened

558
00:26:51,318 --> 00:26:54,613
that when people go into the
valley of the Zone of Silence...

559
00:26:55,656 --> 00:26:57,366
...they can end up
going deeper in

560
00:26:57,533 --> 00:26:59,618
because they lose their compass.

561
00:26:59,827 --> 00:27:01,620
That's why the recommendation

562
00:27:01,829 --> 00:27:04,123
is that you don't enter unless
you have a guide with you.

563
00:27:05,499 --> 00:27:07,376
Often, there are lights,
for example,

564
00:27:07,543 --> 00:27:10,671
that illuminate the hills
and then they come towards you

565
00:27:10,838 --> 00:27:12,923
and then they disappear.

566
00:27:13,966 --> 00:27:16,969
These are lights
that are frequently observed.

567
00:27:17,136 --> 00:27:19,388
Locals have spoken to me
many times

568
00:27:19,555 --> 00:27:22,766
about triangular ships,
about cylindrical ships,

569
00:27:22,933 --> 00:27:24,768
and other types of ships.

570
00:27:25,853 --> 00:27:28,438
There is a lot of activity
of this type.

571
00:27:28,564 --> 00:27:32,985
We consider it to be something
normal but not earthly.

572
00:27:35,070 --> 00:27:38,907
[Shatner] While numerous reports
of bizarre, unidentified lights

573
00:27:39,074 --> 00:27:40,784
and strange glowing phenomena

574
00:27:40,951 --> 00:27:45,038
have many calling the Zone
of Silence a UFO hot spot,

575
00:27:45,163 --> 00:27:47,332
perhaps even more unnerving

576
00:27:47,499 --> 00:27:49,293
is that the area once attracted

577
00:27:49,459 --> 00:27:52,629
a U.S. military
radioactive weapon.

578
00:27:53,881 --> 00:27:55,924
[Andrew Collins] In July 1970,

579
00:27:56,091 --> 00:28:00,095
an Athena rocket
was launched from Utah.

580
00:28:01,597 --> 00:28:06,476
It veered drastically off course
and crashed down

581
00:28:06,643 --> 00:28:09,938
into the Zone of Silence
in the Chihuahua Desert.

582
00:28:10,939 --> 00:28:14,693
Now, there was a big operation
to clear up the mess,

583
00:28:14,860 --> 00:28:17,529
and undercover work went on.

584
00:28:17,696 --> 00:28:19,281
And the reason
why it was so important

585
00:28:19,406 --> 00:28:21,074
to keep it undercover is that

586
00:28:21,241 --> 00:28:24,536
there was actually
radioactive material on board,

587
00:28:24,703 --> 00:28:28,123
cobalt-57, two vials of it,
which,

588
00:28:28,248 --> 00:28:30,626
to be honest, if, you know,
people had encountered it,

589
00:28:30,792 --> 00:28:33,253
they would have unquestionably
had radiation sickness

590
00:28:33,420 --> 00:28:34,838
and could even have died.

591
00:28:35,964 --> 00:28:37,633
[McGee] There was a huge
government operation

592
00:28:37,799 --> 00:28:41,053
from the U.S. to come down
and scrape the top area

593
00:28:41,219 --> 00:28:43,305
of that desert clean
and ferry this stuff away.

594
00:28:43,472 --> 00:28:45,474
And they made sure they found
all the radioactive sources.

595
00:28:45,641 --> 00:28:48,310
And it certainly didn't hurt
the mystique

596
00:28:48,477 --> 00:28:50,812
that now the rockets
are crashing

597
00:28:50,979 --> 00:28:52,522
and radioactive material
is being spread out

598
00:28:52,689 --> 00:28:54,524
and government agents
are coming in

599
00:28:54,650 --> 00:28:57,444
and military operations
are carting things away.

600
00:28:59,529 --> 00:29:01,448
[Stables] Lots of people were
wondering whether there was

601
00:29:01,615 --> 00:29:04,493
something connected to
the strange magnetic anomalies

602
00:29:04,660 --> 00:29:06,244
that made the rocket
go so far off course

603
00:29:06,411 --> 00:29:08,705
and then crash-land
in this-- in this area.

604
00:29:08,872 --> 00:29:11,875
And then that got tied up
with the reports of aliens,

605
00:29:12,042 --> 00:29:14,252
extraterrestrials
in the Zone of Silence as well.

606
00:29:14,419 --> 00:29:17,589
So, yeah, it all added
to the mythology of the place.

607
00:29:18,674 --> 00:29:22,844
[Shatner] Could a strange force
be drawing radioactive rockets

608
00:29:23,011 --> 00:29:26,807
and extraterrestrial crafts
to the Zone of Silence?

609
00:29:26,974 --> 00:29:28,433
Who knows?

610
00:29:29,434 --> 00:29:31,395
And, remarkably,

611
00:29:31,561 --> 00:29:34,106
there are other objects in the
sky that seem to be attracted

612
00:29:34,272 --> 00:29:37,401
to this mysterious stretch
of desert.

613
00:29:38,485 --> 00:29:39,945
[McGee] Meteors have
crashed here.

614
00:29:40,112 --> 00:29:42,322
And, indeed, there is
a high preponderance of,

615
00:29:42,489 --> 00:29:45,409
you know, delivered meteorites
in the area. But...

616
00:29:46,493 --> 00:29:49,496
...did the meteors crash
because of the Zone?

617
00:29:50,747 --> 00:29:52,749
Considering all
of these phenomena reported

618
00:29:52,916 --> 00:29:54,251
in the Zone of Silence--

619
00:29:54,418 --> 00:29:55,752
compasses spinning
out of control,

620
00:29:55,919 --> 00:29:57,295
electronics turning on and off,

621
00:29:57,462 --> 00:29:59,006
even rocket crashes--

622
00:29:59,172 --> 00:30:01,174
is there any sort of underlying

623
00:30:01,341 --> 00:30:02,926
geophysical explanation

624
00:30:03,093 --> 00:30:05,137
that could relate to this?
Well, I think there might.

625
00:30:06,638 --> 00:30:08,932
And some have proposed
that there is

626
00:30:09,099 --> 00:30:12,269
a large magnetic formation

627
00:30:12,436 --> 00:30:15,063
that underlies,
geologically, the area.

628
00:30:15,230 --> 00:30:16,773
And that could have

629
00:30:16,940 --> 00:30:19,985
a negative influence
on electronics in the region.

630
00:30:20,152 --> 00:30:21,945
Scientists have determined
that there is

631
00:30:22,112 --> 00:30:23,405
a lot of magnetite
in the region--

632
00:30:23,572 --> 00:30:25,991
that's naturally magnetic rock.

633
00:30:26,158 --> 00:30:27,784
[speaking Spanish]

634
00:30:27,951 --> 00:30:29,619
[translated] So this is
a normal rock that I've brought

635
00:30:29,828 --> 00:30:31,246
from the Zone of Silence.

636
00:30:31,413 --> 00:30:33,665
Apparently there is
something abnormal about it.

637
00:30:33,832 --> 00:30:37,627
However, it is surely charged
with electromagnetism.

638
00:30:37,794 --> 00:30:39,963
Because when it comes
in contact with a compass...

639
00:30:40,964 --> 00:30:43,216
...it produces
exactly this effect.

640
00:30:45,343 --> 00:30:48,138
It makes the compass lose
its sense of direction.

641
00:30:50,474 --> 00:30:52,642
There are questions
of many, many minerals

642
00:30:52,809 --> 00:30:54,728
in the underground.

643
00:30:54,895 --> 00:30:56,521
Details that are anomalous.

644
00:30:56,646 --> 00:30:59,441
And they encourage me
to continue investigating,

645
00:30:59,566 --> 00:31:01,443
to continue observing.

646
00:31:01,568 --> 00:31:02,778
-[insects trilling]
-[Gentile] For at least

647
00:31:02,986 --> 00:31:04,654
100 years,
people have been trying

648
00:31:04,821 --> 00:31:07,365
to explain what is going on
in the Zone of Silence.

649
00:31:07,532 --> 00:31:10,911
Maybe it's the strange geology
attracting meteorites.

650
00:31:11,078 --> 00:31:12,496
But the truth is
nobody really knows.

651
00:31:12,662 --> 00:31:16,666
They cannot explain
why radio signals drop,

652
00:31:16,833 --> 00:31:19,544
why there is electromagnetic
disruption inside this zone.

653
00:31:19,711 --> 00:31:22,172
You don't want
to accidentally find yourself

654
00:31:22,339 --> 00:31:24,341
in the Zone of Silence
unprepared.

655
00:31:24,549 --> 00:31:27,761
You're putting yourself
in a very deadly situation.

656
00:31:28,970 --> 00:31:32,849
Is there something underground
in the Zone of Silence

657
00:31:33,016 --> 00:31:37,562
that's contributing to this
desert's unnerving reputation?

658
00:31:38,522 --> 00:31:40,315
No one seems to know.

659
00:31:41,316 --> 00:31:42,818
But there are other places

660
00:31:43,026 --> 00:31:46,154
where nature has proven
to be far more dangerous,

661
00:31:46,321 --> 00:31:50,283
where the Earth itself
exhales toxic gases

662
00:31:50,450 --> 00:31:53,453
that could kill a person
in an instant.

663
00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:59,126
[Shatner reads on-screen text]

664
00:32:02,921 --> 00:32:05,841
While members of the alpine
ski patrol work near the summit

665
00:32:05,966 --> 00:32:09,219
of this 11,000-foot
dormant volcano,

666
00:32:09,427 --> 00:32:11,012
without warning,

667
00:32:11,179 --> 00:32:14,683
the snow beneath their feet
collapses.

668
00:32:15,767 --> 00:32:17,853
[McGee] Mammoth Mountain
ski patrol workers

669
00:32:18,019 --> 00:32:20,105
were going about
their operations,

670
00:32:20,272 --> 00:32:23,316
and one ended up
falling into a cavity

671
00:32:23,483 --> 00:32:25,110
created by a geothermal vent.

672
00:32:25,277 --> 00:32:26,486
Think of it like a hot spring,

673
00:32:26,653 --> 00:32:28,196
but instead of producing water,

674
00:32:28,363 --> 00:32:30,282
it's producing poisonous gas.

675
00:32:30,407 --> 00:32:33,660
So the person who fell in
immediately asphyxiated,

676
00:32:33,869 --> 00:32:35,495
uh, because they fell
into this invisible pocket

677
00:32:35,662 --> 00:32:37,122
of poisonous air.

678
00:32:37,247 --> 00:32:39,791
One of the associates
went in to try and help.

679
00:32:39,958 --> 00:32:41,376
They went down.

680
00:32:41,543 --> 00:32:42,669
Then the third one tried
to do the same thing,

681
00:32:42,836 --> 00:32:44,504
and they went down,

682
00:32:44,671 --> 00:32:47,299
and the fourth and last was
the only one that survived.

683
00:32:48,383 --> 00:32:50,844
[Shatner] It's frightening
to think that toxic gases

684
00:32:51,011 --> 00:32:53,513
are just under our feet.

685
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:57,559
But invisible killers
can be found in many places,

686
00:32:57,684 --> 00:32:59,936
just waiting for us
to do something

687
00:33:00,145 --> 00:33:02,731
as simple as breathing.

688
00:33:03,773 --> 00:33:06,359
[Gentile] In the Amazon
rainforest near Brazil,

689
00:33:06,484 --> 00:33:10,113
you can go into the forest
and be affected by fungal spores

690
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:12,782
that come out of the caves
that are completely odorless.

691
00:33:12,949 --> 00:33:14,367
They're invisible.

692
00:33:15,368 --> 00:33:17,329
You don't realize that you've
been infected by the spores

693
00:33:17,495 --> 00:33:19,164
