Me and these places?
Has anyone researched the alleged secret facilities and “dark nodes” around Mount Shasta? I’ve heard scattered reports about the Excelsior Program, supposed shadow-government labs rumored to conduct mind-control, cloning, or experimental medicine. Then there are the stories of underground human-experiment bases in the lava tubes near Castle Crags and Panther Meadow, and whispers of hybrid breeding or DNA labs in the more remote backcountry. Some claim energy- or soul-harvesting devices exist under remote ridges, with inverted or “false vortex” sites distorting spiritual energy, while older legends point to Lemurian/Telos crystal cities beneath the mountain itself. How much of this is pure folklore, and how much comes from local eyewitnesses or off-grid settlements near Dunsmuir, McCloud, or the Shasta-Trinity backcountry? Has anyone tried mapping these nodes, both rumored and real, including places like Castle Dome, Panther Meadow, and the spire-like Castle Crags? Are there patterns in the locations of these alleged labs, tunnels, or energy sites that suggest a coherent network, or is it just mythmaking amplified by New Age and UFO lore? I’m curious if anyone has field notes, satellite evidence, or serious investigations that attempt to separate the verified remote structures—like ranger towers, fire lookouts, or seismic stations—from the purely esoteric or conspiratorial claims.
