S04-E02 - Ghosts, Creatures and Disappearances Underground

Beneath our feet, another world stretches out in darkness.Caves, mines, tunnels and flooded passages twist through the earth — some mapped, some forgotten, and some still holding their secrets.This episode descends into the unsettling world of underground mysteries, where strange disappearances, ghostly encounters and reports of unknown creatures all seem to gather in the same hidden places.From the unexplained disappearance of cave diver Ben McDaniel at Vortex Spring, to disturbing accounts of reptile-like beings in deep cave systems, the episode explores what may exist beyond the reach of daylight. It also journeys into the haunted depths of Clearwell Caves in the Forest of Dean, where the ghost of an old miner is said to guide the lost, and where investigators and workers have reported footsteps, figures, unseen forces and impossible sounds in the darkness.Blending real disappearances, folklore, witness testimony, underground history and paranormal encounters, this is a journey into the places most of us will never see — and the lingering question of whether some mysteries are buried because we haven’t found them yet, or because they were never meant to be found.Enjoyed the episode?
