I went to Devil’s Gate in Pasadena to see why people call it a portal to the underworld and whether there’s anything to the stories.

The name comes from a rock formation that looks like the devil’s face. But the legends go much further, with stories of occult rituals and a strange connection to the early days of rocket science.

I explored the gate and dug into its history to find out how this one spot earned such a sinister reputation. How much is documented, how much has grown with each retelling, and what do you actually find when you go down there yourself?

In February 1959, 9 experienced hikers abandoned their tent in the northern Ural Mountains in the middle of the night leaving behind their boots, outer clothing, food and survival gear.

None of them made it back.

This is the story of the Dyatlov Pass Incident, told through the hikers’ own diaries, expedition photographs, original 1959 search records, autopsy reports and the modern research that may explain part of what happened that night.

We follow the evidence as it was discovered: the abandoned tent, footprints leading into the forest, a small fire beneath a cedar tree, bodies scattered back toward the mountain, 4 hikers buried deep in a ravine, radioactive contamination on clothing, reports of strange lights in the sky and a Soviet investigation that ended with an incredibly vague conclusion.

For decades, theories have ranged from military testing and secret weapons to Yetis, UFOs and something paranormal.

But newer research points toward a much more grounded possibility.

It may explain why they abandoned the tent.

It may explain some of the injuries.

But there is still one part of Dyatlov Pass that nobody can answer with certainty:

What happened inside that tent that made 9 experienced hikers decide the Russian winter was safer than staying inside?

Would you walk through these ruins at night? They call it Scary Dairy and its an abandoned dairy farm that once served Camarillo State Hospital.

I went to explore what’s left and the haunting stories surrounding it. But a former patient’s firsthand account of life inside the hospital was more disturbing than any ghost story.

In this video, I dig into that history, the local legends, and a few strange things we experienced while exploring.

He's lost in the Sahara. The race rules say stay put and wait.

So he waits.
At sunset a helicopter comes in low, right toward him. He fires his flare. He watches it go up.

The helicopter never changes course.
The flare is too small. Against that sunset it just disappears. Rescue came, and rescue left, and it did not see him.
Now he has to decide. Stay, and the sun will kill him. Or pick a direction, and walk.

This is Mauro Prosperi's story.

Deep beneath a city, this camera captures someone moving through dark tunnels. Then the movement becomes frantic. He starts running, drops the camera, and disappears from view.

The recording leaves you staring at the tunnel floor and wondering what happened beyond the light.

Was he lost? Did something scare him? Why would he leave the camera behind?

The story attached to this footage claims the man was never found. But that disappearance has never been independently verified, and the recording only shows us part of the picture.

Watch closely. Do you think this was a real moment of panic or a staged scene that became an urban legend?

Two men ran shops out of the same storefront in a tiny Colorado mountain town. Within a year, both had disappeared.

Keith Reinhard knew about the first man. He’d become fascinated by his disappearance and worked him into the novel he was writing.

Then Keith told people he was heading up the mountain behind town. He said he’d be back by 10 pm.

He never returned.

This is the story of Keith Reinhard and the mystery of Silver Plume.

Everyone on the boat was presumed dead.
In 2013, a tugboat flipped in rough seas off the coast of Nigeria and sank 100 feet to the bottom of the Atlantic. Twelve men were on board. Three days later, a dive team went down. Not to rescue anyone, but to recover the bodies.
And then one of those "bodies" reached out and grabbed a diver's hand.
This is the story of Harrison Okene, the ship's cook who survived 60 hours trapped in a pocket of air at the bottom of the sea, in total darkness, freezing, listening to the ocean close in around him

In August 1949 the Soviets detonated their first atomic bomb. A 62-year-old man at the Douglas plant in Inglewood went home and started pouring concrete in his driveway.

By day he helped assemble the aircraft and missile parts built to deliver nuclear weapons. At night he sculpted statues he believed could survive what those weapons would do to a city.

He finished a ten-foot, five-ton Christ with outstretched arms and tried to put it on the rim of the Grand Canyon. The Park Service said no.

The newspapers called it The Savior That Nobody Wanted.

It stands on a Mojave hill now. The blast he was building for never came. Something else did.

An experienced hiker heads into the mountains of northern New Mexico with two weeks of food. Then the snow moves in.

His trail name is Otter. He’s spent years walking some of the longest trails in the country, but this time he can’t make it through. When he tries to turn back, he can’t get out that way either.

He eventually reaches an empty campground. The only shelter is a small concrete bathroom.

Months later, another hiker walks into that campground and notices a pair of homemade metal skis outside the bathroom. Then he sees a note on the door.

It starts with “Warning” and ends with “No Joke.”

When he tries the door, it’s locked from the inside.

There's a mail route that killed sixteen of its own riders in the first eight weeks.

It lasted eighteen months before the company went broke.

I drove the western half of that route in winter, Salt Lake toward Tahoe. Same country a twenty-year-old named Pony Bob covered on horseback in 1860, shot through the jaw, carrying Lincoln's inaugural address in the bag.

Unfortunately this ride was already being turned into the legend because not long after the telegraph replaced this route and the Pony Express drifted into just a memory.
