Speaker 1: I can't remember when I got this story. It's been
Speaker 1: not too terribly long, but it's one of the craziest
Speaker 1: stories I've ever read. And I've never thought about this theory.
Speaker 1: What you're going to learn about now For the first
Speaker 1: five minutes or so, she's going to give some background
Speaker 1: on where she's from, what she does. Hang on because
Speaker 1: this is a long story and it really gets good.
Speaker 1: I mean, it gets really creepy. Here's what Jenna writes.
Speaker 1: How the past year has changed my life. I cannot
Speaker 1: begin to express, but I will give it my best shot.
Speaker 1: My name is Jenna, and I'm a twenty nine year
Speaker 1: old female geologist spileeologist, and I was working for the
Speaker 1: government within the Department of Geological Survey up until recently.
Speaker 1: We were responsible to explore and map out old mind
Speaker 1: chefs and k systems in the eastern United States. There
Speaker 1: are several of these teams working throughout the country in
Speaker 1: places like the Rockies, Texas, the Midwest, and in Washington State.
Speaker 1: I've heard that there are also teams in Canada and
Speaker 1: Mexico as well. I have been spilunking since I was
Speaker 1: five years old with my father and older brothers, so
Speaker 1: it became who I was and not just what I did.
Speaker 1: My experience through the years made me useful to this project.
Speaker 1: I was recruited in my last year of graduate school
Speaker 1: at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire by Joseph, who had
Speaker 1: become my supervisor and mentor. My eight teammates were all
Speaker 1: roughly the same age, and we had various degrees of
Speaker 1: interest of study, including engineering, archaeology, biology, herpetology and volcanology,
Speaker 1: as well as other fields. We were a mixture of
Speaker 1: seven men and two women, and all have a love
Speaker 1: for the world below the surface, resulting in our pale
Speaker 1: skin in very thin frames. Because we spent most of
Speaker 1: the days in the dark out of the sunlight, it
Speaker 1: wasn't all that bad for me being a pale skinned
Speaker 1: ginger and ten minutes in the sun I would turn
Speaker 1: into a lobster. The meals that we take are mostly
Speaker 1: small protein bars and water. It's easier to carry with us,
Speaker 1: especially when we stayed in the cave system overnight. During
Speaker 1: the expeditions there were sometimes ten miles deeper more. We
Speaker 1: have done many of these over the past four years.
Speaker 1: We have made some remarkable discoveries and we've mapped out
Speaker 1: miles of cave systems in West Virginia and Kentucky using
Speaker 1: a combination of GPR oor, ground penetration radar and light
Speaker 1: are from the surface, as well as some new technology
Speaker 1: that will make for some amazing new discoveries in the future.
Speaker 1: Our average expedition would start when we entered a cave
Speaker 1: or a small hole in a mountainside and started to
Speaker 1: evaluate if it was safe. Understand that we have left
Speaker 1: more caves than we explored due to what appeared to
Speaker 1: be unsafe, or when our equipment detected gas. Once we
Speaker 1: determine that it is safe, we begin to move deeper
Speaker 1: into the cave and into the twilight zone. There is
Speaker 1: no presence of light in the dark zone, and we
Speaker 1: see nothing if we turn out the lights. Often we
Speaker 1: find chambers and passages off to the sides, or even
Speaker 1: drop offs in sinkholes. We can use special drones with
Speaker 1: lights and cameras to fly over the drop offs or
Speaker 1: down the sinkholes, or on top of shelves or ledges
Speaker 1: above our reach to see if there are any points
Speaker 1: of interest below or above us that we need to explore.
Speaker 1: Using those drones have given us access to new passages
Speaker 1: and chambers that no human has ever seen, some of
Speaker 1: which have led to miles of passages and enormous chambers,
Speaker 1: one of which was over one hundred feet tall and
Speaker 1: three football feels long fifty yards wide, and we nicknamed
Speaker 1: that one the Ballroom. We have discovered entrances to cave
Speaker 1: systems that were not noticeable from the top side or
Speaker 1: outside the cave. Some of the entrances have been behind waterfalls, crevices,
Speaker 1: and cliffs, and under roots of large trees, and even
Speaker 1: behind some dead falls that appear to have been pushed
Speaker 1: up against it to conceal the entrance. We have mapped
Speaker 1: some systems that will travel miles into another exit or entrance,
Speaker 1: with the longest one being twenty seven miles in southeast
Speaker 1: Kentucky and it goes into Tennessee and that required us
Speaker 1: to stay in the cave for over two weeks. We
Speaker 1: have scanner units mounted onto our helmet. It's that capture
Speaker 1: three D imagery of the cave as we travel, and
Speaker 1: we also use GPS signals that rarely are detected above
Speaker 1: the surface, but we still have them and occasionally get
Speaker 1: close enough to the surface to get our data to
Speaker 1: the base camp to be collected. We have other tools
Speaker 1: that we have used in the past. One includes a
Speaker 1: buoy with a GPS unit. We dropped one in a
Speaker 1: fast moving underground river near the West Virginia Kentucky state
Speaker 1: line to see where or if it would ever surface.
Speaker 1: To our amazement, it reappeared five weeks later, almost three
Speaker 1: hundred miles away in the Clinch River near Kingston, Tennessee.
Speaker 1: We were astonished it must have traveled under another river
Speaker 1: system to arrive to the Clinch River. We are now
Speaker 1: developing equipment that we can capture imagery of the underground
Speaker 1: river system without our team having to dive into those
Speaker 1: underground rivers, with the hopes of capturing the constant location
Speaker 1: of the device and the depth under the sea level
Speaker 1: as well that will be able to explain how these
Speaker 1: rivers are crossing. Other findings are also worth mentioning. We've
Speaker 1: found several species of animals or insects that were unknown
Speaker 1: or thought to not inhabit this region, as well as
Speaker 1: numerous cave drawings that date back over ten thousand years,
Speaker 1: along with artifacts such as pottery from the early fourteen hundreds,
Speaker 1: spears and arrow heads, muskets or black powder rifles. A
Speaker 1: couple of swords. We found knives, shells, some gold and
Speaker 1: silver coins from seventeen hundred Europe, along with bones and
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of bones. These discoveries found miles underground,
Speaker 1: far from known entry points. We report our findings before
Speaker 1: moving further, and it slows down the exploration process because
Speaker 1: we have to wait for another team to go in
Speaker 1: and gather the artifacts. Without us, we would contaminate the scene.
Speaker 1: The real question was how did someone get this far
Speaker 1: into the cave system with torches, as they would have
Speaker 1: to have burnt out well before they got that deep.
Speaker 1: They would have had to carry extra torches with them,
Speaker 1: and why would they have traveled this deep while the
Speaker 1: other team was in our cave. We would go to
Speaker 1: another cave for several weeks until we were given the
Speaker 1: go ahead to continue our explanation of the original cave.
Speaker 1: Rarely were we given any information on what the other
Speaker 1: team's findings revealed, especially when it was about bones or
Speaker 1: modern day items like a shiny new shotgun we had found,
Speaker 1: or the backpack with a West Virginia Park map that
Speaker 1: was printed in twenty eighteen and it was over seven
Speaker 1: thousand feet into the cave system. We would write it
Speaker 1: off to people going beyond their limits and getting lost
Speaker 1: in the cave and losing their belongings as they roamed
Speaker 1: about in the darkness. And as for the other team,
Speaker 1: they were a dull bunch of people with no personality.
Speaker 1: Forget trying to talk to them. They were tight left
Speaker 1: about their business. They were almost what we would think
Speaker 1: of as a stiff government or maybe a CIA personality type.
Speaker 1: There were occasions where we would pass them coming or
Speaker 1: going and they wouldn't take the time to speak to anyone.
Speaker 1: They wouldn't drop any clues or share any findings, absolutely nothing.
Speaker 1: Using our newest technology that we had developed was the sphere,
Speaker 1: which was a mobile GPR light hoar sphere that set
Speaker 1: up on a tripod in the middle of chambers, which
Speaker 1: we would leave overnight to scan. The results were beyond belief.
Speaker 1: We have found new tunnels that are blocked by large
Speaker 1: rocks or boulders. The stones are so heavy that several
Speaker 1: men working together could not move them for us to
Speaker 1: explore further. But we knew the boulders had been placed
Speaker 1: there because the scars remained on the floors and walls.
Speaker 1: They had been rolled into position. We had a heavy
Speaker 1: hydraulic jack designed to lift rocks off of us should
Speaker 1: we become trapped, and we found that this jack could
Speaker 1: move the boulders enough to gain entrance into hidden chambers
Speaker 1: or caverns. And now that I've given you a brief
Speaker 1: description of what we do and how we do it,
Speaker 1: I want to tell you of my account that began
Speaker 1: on Friday, August the thirteenth of all days in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty one. We had been mapping out a cave system
Speaker 1: south of Grayson, Kentucky, and we were five miles deep
Speaker 1: into the system when we dropped off of a shelf
Speaker 1: about twenty feet using our climbing gear to discover a
Speaker 1: new passage. It led back east to half a mile
Speaker 1: to an oval shaped chamber and and at the far
Speaker 1: end of the chamber was a large boulder blocking another
Speaker 1: passage that we found by setting up our sphere overnight.
Speaker 1: The following Monday was August the sixteenth, and we analyzed
Speaker 1: the data and we determined it was worth exploring. After
Speaker 1: moving the rock, we followed the passage for another half
Speaker 1: mile and then we decided to back out and call
Speaker 1: it a day. We returned on the seventeenth to the
Speaker 1: oval chamber, and we found the rock had rolled back
Speaker 1: to block the entrance. We jacked it back open again
Speaker 1: and placed smaller rocks under it to keep it from
Speaker 1: rolling back while we were in there exploring. We then
Speaker 1: entered the passage and began to map out the system
Speaker 1: where we left off. Through the day, we discovered a
Speaker 1: labyrinth of passages going in all directions. Some were dead
Speaker 1: ends and some were working their way back to the
Speaker 1: main cavern. The areas that didn't reconnect, we would follow
Speaker 1: those for five hundred feet and then turned back. There
Speaker 1: were so many that we wanted to see, but this
Speaker 1: system could be thoroughly explored. Later. We were getting our
Speaker 1: bearings and taking notes, and we were excited about this discovery.
Speaker 1: We started noticing different items, such as fresh leaves and
Speaker 1: small twigs on the cave floor. They were green, they
Speaker 1: weren't dead, but they shouldn't have been there in the
Speaker 1: first place. In the largest passage, we found a shallow
Speaker 1: stream with a mud and a swet bottom and bank,
Speaker 1: and in that mud we found tracks of all sizes.
Speaker 1: They were human looking tracks. Some were smaller than my
Speaker 1: feet and others were twenty four inches long and ten
Speaker 1: inches wide. Laurie, my female teammate, carefully examined the toes
Speaker 1: to see if there were claw marks, because that would
Speaker 1: lead us to believe that it was a bear, but
Speaker 1: she found none. Well, the day was late and we
Speaker 1: pulled out again, marking our route with illuminated paint of
Speaker 1: different colors, as we always did when exploring new systems.
Speaker 1: The footprints gave us all concern, but it also was exciting.
Speaker 1: The passage was nine feet high and we could not
Speaker 1: imagine a giant of a man walking around in there.
Speaker 1: But this raised questions beyond belief, so we all decided
Speaker 1: to keep this finding to our selves for the time being.
Speaker 1: On Wednesday, the eighteenth, we found that the rock had
Speaker 1: again been rolled back over the entrance and we had
Speaker 1: to move it with Jacks. Rodney, the archaeologist, said that
Speaker 1: he was going to bust it into pieces if it
Speaker 1: happened again, and we proceeded to the stream where we
Speaker 1: had left off the previous day to find more tracks.
Speaker 1: We slowly moved along the stream, following the direction of
Speaker 1: the footprints as it flowed down the center of the cavern,
Speaker 1: a quarter of a mile through the passage and into
Speaker 1: the chamber. We discovered some of the most disturbing items
Speaker 1: we had ever found. There were numerous shoes of different sizes,
Speaker 1: including boots and children's sneakers, some clothing that appeared to
Speaker 1: be torn, and some looked like it had dried blood
Speaker 1: on it, and they were all in piles like someone
Speaker 1: had been sleeping on them. There were backpacks and coats.
Speaker 1: There was a hatchet and some knives, a couple of firearms,
Speaker 1: and children's toys such as dolls and barbies and action figures.
Speaker 1: There were balls and toy cars lying all about the chamber,
Speaker 1: and then we found a pile of human bones of
Speaker 1: all sizes, including children's, all piled up against the wall
Speaker 1: at the far end of the chamber. Laurie screamed at
Speaker 1: the top of her lungs and began crying uncontrollably, And
Speaker 1: as the others tried to comfort her, out of the
Speaker 1: darkness of a passage at the far end of the chamber,
Speaker 1: near the pile of bones, came a scream or a
Speaker 1: roar of a monstrous volume that shook my insides. It
Speaker 1: lasted a long time and was immediately answered by another
Speaker 1: roar from a different cavern, and then several more The
Speaker 1: team instantly began to run toward the exit, with me
Speaker 1: bringing up the rear. I had a feeling that something
Speaker 1: was behind me, and I quickly looked back over my
Speaker 1: shoulder with my high intensity LED light, and I illuminated
Speaker 1: the face of a beast that was the size of
Speaker 1: a refrigerator, only ten feet behind me. In that brief instant,
Speaker 1: I could see the beast's lips were curled back, bearing
Speaker 1: large teeth which were like ours except for the canines,
Speaker 1: which were larger in proportion than a human. It had
Speaker 1: large round of black evil eyes and a flat nose,
Speaker 1: and everything around the face was covered with hair. The
Speaker 1: animal covered its eyes from the light with its hands
Speaker 1: and screamed in pain as if the light heard it,
Speaker 1: and it shrank away from me and my light. It
Speaker 1: curled up into a ball onto the floor of the cave,
Speaker 1: wailing in pain. I was now backing out of the chamber,
Speaker 1: trying to keep the light on the beast when I
Speaker 1: must have passed the exit and tumbled into a sinkhole.
Speaker 1: I got lucky it was only five feet below the
Speaker 1: chamber floor. It could have been deeper and I would
Speaker 1: have never gotten out of there. I am only five
Speaker 1: foot four to start with, and I weighed less than
Speaker 1: one hundred and ten pounds fully clothed, and I knew
Speaker 1: if I couldn't do something quick, I would end up
Speaker 1: in that bone pile. In front of me. I saw
Speaker 1: a small crevice that looked to me about my size,
Speaker 1: so I dove into it headfirst, and I began to
Speaker 1: crawl on my belly back into the darkness. I was
Speaker 1: ten feet into the crevice when I heard the monster
Speaker 1: scream into the mouth of the crevice behind me, and
Speaker 1: I could feel it reaching into the hole as it
Speaker 1: started to claw at the walls. The creature was so
Speaker 1: close I could smell its foul breath, and this gave
Speaker 1: me a surge of strength to move ahead faster. I
Speaker 1: crawled ahead without thinking. I was in survival mode and
Speaker 1: I wanted to get as far from this thing as possible.
Speaker 1: The roars began to fade the further into the passage
Speaker 1: I went, and after an hour, I dropped into a
Speaker 1: room stalactites hung from the low ceiling and I had
Speaker 1: to walk hunched over, but at least I could stand.
Speaker 1: I tried to reach my team on the radio, but
Speaker 1: I got nothing in response. If I was going to
Speaker 1: get out of there. I had to move upward while
Speaker 1: avoiding these creatures. I had to get to the surface.
Speaker 1: That's all I could think of. I turned down the
Speaker 1: intensity of my light to get more life from my batteries,
Speaker 1: and I continued walking and crawling. I wandered the uncharted
Speaker 1: passages and caverns alone for hours, not knowing where I
Speaker 1: was or if I was moving to freedom. I lost
Speaker 1: all sense of time, and I didn't know if it
Speaker 1: was day or night. And to make matters worse, not
Speaker 1: long after that, I was down to my last spare
Speaker 1: battery pack. The only light I would have after those
Speaker 1: batteries died was my cell phone. I had turned it
Speaker 1: off long ago to save it as a last resort
Speaker 1: for light. And the exhaustion set in, and I clicked
Speaker 1: off my light and I sat in the blackness, and
Speaker 1: I fell asleep. I woke to the distant sounds of
Speaker 1: clicking and some sort of gibberish that I didn't understand.
Speaker 1: The sounds weren't close, thank goodness, but they were looking
Speaker 1: for me. Once it sounded so human that I thought
Speaker 1: it might be in my team members calling for me,
Speaker 1: and I almost shouted to them, but I waited to
Speaker 1: make sure, and I'm glad I did, because minutes later
Speaker 1: another roar came from the same direction. I drank the
Speaker 1: last of my water and I ate the final protein bar.
Speaker 1: I then turned my light off and I curled into
Speaker 1: a fetal position, hoping the sounds would stop so I
Speaker 1: could move again. Strangely, I felt an evil presence near me,
Speaker 1: and I knew the creatures were near, but still I waited.
Speaker 1: Hours later, the noises stopped, and I assumed they had
Speaker 1: given up their search for me. So I got moving,
Speaker 1: always trying to move upward. Freedom was above me, and
Speaker 1: I had to get there. Two maybe three days later,
Speaker 1: I felt hope slipping away. I had lost all sense
Speaker 1: of time, and I was weakened now from hydration, and
Speaker 1: I was starving to death. I only used my headlamp briefly.
Speaker 1: I would click it on, look ahead as far as
Speaker 1: I could see, and then turn it on, and then
Speaker 1: I would feel my way to something until I needed
Speaker 1: light again. While alone in a place this silent, your
Speaker 1: sense of hearing heightens. There are no other noises to
Speaker 1: interfere with what you were hearing. While taking a break,
Speaker 1: and without the noise of my movements, I heard the
Speaker 1: hum of traffic. I moved toward the sound until I
Speaker 1: saw a faint rays of light penetrating the passage wall.
Speaker 1: I was overjoyed, and I was filled with a surge
Speaker 1: of energy. There was a small crevice that would be
Speaker 1: tight even for my small body to escape through, but
Speaker 1: I pushed through it anyway into the sunlight. I was
Speaker 1: standing at the base of a cliff that I would
Speaker 1: later find out was next to Kentucky State Route seven.
Speaker 1: Cars were speeding past below me. I had made it
Speaker 1: out alive. My phone still had a charge, and I
Speaker 1: call my supervisor. Well. She was ecstatic to hear from me.
Speaker 1: She said they picked up my GPS tracker twenty minutes ago.
Speaker 1: My tracker must have started broadcasting when I got near
Speaker 1: the crevice, and state troopers were on their way, she said.
Speaker 1: The police took me back to my hotel room, and
Speaker 1: I felt like I drank a gallon of water while
Speaker 1: we drove. Now, I wanted to get a shower in
Speaker 1: something to eat, but as I got out of the car,
Speaker 1: four men approached and ushered me into a small hotel
Speaker 1: conference room. I assumed they knew I was exhausted and
Speaker 1: hungary and that this meeting would not take long, but
Speaker 1: I was wrong. Two of the men were from the
Speaker 1: Department of the Interior, one was a Federal Game and
Speaker 1: Fish official, and the last was with the US Geological Survey.
Speaker 1: The date was August twenty second, and they wanted me
Speaker 1: to recount the last ninety six hours my scanner was
Speaker 1: still operating. From that data, we found that I had
Speaker 1: traveled eleven miles underground from the point at which I
Speaker 1: fell into the sinkhole. They began asking me about the
Speaker 1: bear we had encountered. Well, I was a biology major,
Speaker 1: but I knew damn well that the creature was not
Speaker 1: a bear, and I said so. I described the creature
Speaker 1: in great detail, but still they continued calling it a bear.
Speaker 1: They questioned me for three hours. At some point I
Speaker 1: told them I had answered every question and that I
Speaker 1: was done, and after walking out, I headed to my
Speaker 1: room and I took a long shower. Some food was
Speaker 1: brought to me, so I ate like I had never
Speaker 1: tasted food, and then I went to sleep. I was
Speaker 1: still a bit confused when I woke, but I felt
Speaker 1: rested and ready to find my teammates. I went to
Speaker 1: all their rooms and the only one who remained there
Speaker 1: was Tony. He told me that Laurie was so upset
Speaker 1: after the event that she had to be sedated and
Speaker 1: was taken to a local hospital. She had been released
Speaker 1: and sent home. The other members of the team had
Speaker 1: been put on leaving sent home. They had all been
Speaker 1: notified that I made it out, and Tony said they
Speaker 1: allowed him to stay because he was the only one
Speaker 1: who wasn't freaking out. I think that came from his
Speaker 1: military training. I later learned that a task force had
Speaker 1: come in and Tony guided them back into the cave.
Speaker 1: There were way too many people there to be looking
Speaker 1: for a bear, though their main mission, Tony later decided
Speaker 1: was to gather the human remains in clothing. Tony searched
Speaker 1: the area with those men, and he found no sign
Speaker 1: of a bear, and then they made castings of several
Speaker 1: tracks in the mud before they destroyed all the evidence
Speaker 1: they could find. They spent days in that cave system
Speaker 1: for that bear, they said, but they never found an animal.
Speaker 1: And then it occurred to me that I may have
Speaker 1: been the only one who had seen this creature, because
Speaker 1: Tony never mentioned it. He kept saying they searched for
Speaker 1: a bear, and I think that is what he thought
Speaker 1: we were dealing with, and I had never told him
Speaker 1: about the creature. I had seen only the men in
Speaker 1: the conference room. I was going to leave the next day,
Speaker 1: but that evening we went to the bar, and there
Speaker 1: we found two members of the task force drinking. After
Speaker 1: several drinks, one of them began to talk. This fellow
Speaker 1: told us that this team was a unit of special
Speaker 1: forces that were used to hunt down Bigfoot. I had
Speaker 1: yet to think of a Bigfoot, and I was stuck
Speaker 1: on an unknown monster until then, and bigfoot was a myth,
Speaker 1: wasn't it. He continued to tell us that this was
Speaker 1: only the second underground assignment they had been on, and
Speaker 1: that his unit hated the darkness of the cave systems,
Speaker 1: even though they were equipped with special equipment that allowed
Speaker 1: them to see in the dark zone, or the part
Speaker 1: of the cave where there was a complete absence of light.
Speaker 1: He said, we were some of the luckiest people he
Speaker 1: had ever met, and my falling into that sinkhole gave
Speaker 1: all my friends an opportunity to escape because it had
Speaker 1: captured the interest of the bigfoot trying to catch me.
Speaker 1: He admitted that the government has proof that these animals
Speaker 1: are traveling underground as much as they are in the moonlight,
Speaker 1: and there is also evidence of them kidnapping people and
Speaker 1: eating them. That was obvious to me. I had seen
Speaker 1: the chamber with a pile of bones. He was about
Speaker 1: to continue with more information. I mean, this guy was
Speaker 1: a real bliber mouth. But one of the men who
Speaker 1: questioned me grabbed a hold of him by the shoulder
Speaker 1: and said that that was enough, soldier, and you should
Speaker 1: try This fellow then sat down and he asked us
Speaker 1: what we were told. Well, at first we were hesitant
Speaker 1: to tell him, but we did so any way, to
Speaker 1: which he told us that the soldier was drunk and
Speaker 1: he was telling tall tales to scare us, and we
Speaker 1: shouldn't put much faith in what he was saying. The
Speaker 1: next day, we were informed that our project had lost
Speaker 1: its funding and we were all terminated and were given
Speaker 1: a year's wages a severance pay. I've kept in touch
Speaker 1: with the others, and it seems that I'm the only
Speaker 1: one who has been able to find work in this field. Currently,
Speaker 1: I do geological and soul analysis for a general contractor
Speaker 1: for building foundations. None of our group have returned to
Speaker 1: the darkness of the underworld and its secrets that we
Speaker 1: loved and cherished up until that August week. I have
Speaker 1: been left with more questions than I care to imagine.
Speaker 1: Was that a Bigfoot we encountered in that cave? Are
Speaker 1: they using the cave systems to travel undetected? Do they
Speaker 1: really kidnap people and eat them? What does the government know?
Speaker 1: What was the real purpose of the government funding of
Speaker 1: our expeditions and mapping out the cave systems in the
Speaker 1: first place. Why won't the government inform people of these
Speaker 1: animals and the dangers? And that's the end of her story.
Speaker 1: Have y'all ever heard a story like that. I've never
Speaker 1: heard anything like that. Now Again, like I said in
Speaker 1: my last video, I don't know if any of these
Speaker 1: stories that I read are true, but this was a
Speaker 1: sure enough story email to me. She has enough information
Speaker 1: on the job and the spielunking equipment and all that
Speaker 1: stuff that adds a little bit of credibility to the story.
Speaker 1: But you know who knows either way, It was a
Speaker 1: real good story. And I tell you what, you couldn't
Speaker 1: pay me to go into one of those caves. And
Speaker 1: it's not because I think Bigfoot is in there. I
Speaker 1: am not terribly claustrophobic, but I've read articles and I've
Speaker 1: seen videos where people get stuck in these caves. They
Speaker 1: can send in twenty or thirty men and they cannot
Speaker 1: get them unstuck, and the people just have to lay
Speaker 1: there and die. What a horrible, horrible way to die.
Speaker 1: And I just I can't. And I've seen other videos
Speaker 1: with these guys. They squeak through these real type rock formations,
Speaker 1: or they'll be flat on their stomach and the rock
Speaker 1: is just right down on them. I always think, man,
Speaker 1: if that rock formation shifted just a fraction of an inch,
Speaker 1: it would just squash you right there. I know everything
Speaker 1: you know. I know that's probably not the way it works,
Speaker 1: but it could anyway. I don't want to get stuck
Speaker 1: in a dark cave somewhere and die in the dark.
Speaker 1: That's just me anyway. Jenna, thank you for sending this story.
Speaker 1: I really admire your profession. You're a pretty brave girl.
Speaker 1: All right, that's gonna wind this podcast up. I hope
Speaker 1: you guys enjoyed it, and we'll see you on the
Speaker 1: next one. Thank you.
