There are countless myths and legends associated with Russia’s sprawling Lake Baikal. These include reports of a mythical monster which resides within its depths, and a hidden fortune in missing treasure. But by far the most intriguing of such tales, is an alleged encounter between the soviet army, and members of a mysterious underwater people. A race which has become known as the Lake Baikal Swimmers.

I CANT GET ENOUGH OF BEDTIME STORIES. There’s not much else on their level
I came here to say this.
Bingo, same thing here.
Bedtime stories are the best. Then Mr. Nightmare and Coffeehouse Crime
Donovan and Lilith dredd and what lurks beneath and above
@@tacesinclair9008 Balken is good, but for different reasons.
For some reason the idea of a giant pike scares me more than an aquatic dinosaur. Maybe it's because I'm from Michigan and have seen some scarily big pikes in very small lakes.
I can understand. Pike are essentially freshwater barracuda. And the pike’s big brother muskies can get to well over 100lbs.
Imagine a pike or musky weighing 500 lbs or more!
@@midwest1389 No thank you... that sounds worse than dealing with a shark.
Long toothy mouths are always a no-no, that's for sure.
@Stoned Jason Voorhees *Didn't I see that thing fighting **_Gamera, The Giant Flying Turtle_** in a Japanese feature film from the mid-1970s? YIKES!*
Encountering giant 10ft underwater entities would have to be a traumatic experience, even the most top-trained soldier would have a nervous breakdown. Charles Hickson once said that when he was abducted, it’s a type of fear that indescribable since it’s from something that isn’t supposed to even exist. Once the aliens put him on the ship, he thought he would never set his feet on Earth again.
Yes terrifying
Charles Hickson and his son were 100% abducted. Completely legit and not a doubt in my mind. Especially because of him and his son being taped unknowingly. What’s incredibly weird though is the type of aliens that they describe abducted them have never been heard about before or since.
Did they give him an anal probe? That's what the aliens did to me. They didn't even use lube! Damn perverts!
I think about that often. I try to imagine what it would be like to see a 6-foot insect or a 3-foot Grey or even something worse such as Mr Hickson and Calvin Parker witnessed. Then I realize that no matter how wild my imagination runs or how clearly I can pretend to feel that emotion it’s still going to be Terror X’s 100 and beyond all description.
pah, just catch it deep underwater and eat it for dinner, that's how we humans roll for millions of years
Suggested future topics to explore: the dark watchers of the Santa Lucia mountains in California, the Dark Entry Forest/Dudleytown , and the Black Forest, Colorado haunting of 1994. Each one often gets overlooked but is worth a look into.
Absolutely! The Dark Watchers of California are extremely fascinating. The other topics you describe are also fascinating as well
@@daystar4058 The Why Files did a good video on the dark watchers and about a month ago Mr. Ballen did a good video on Dudleytown. The Black Forest haunting was covered by a young lady years ago ( I'd have to track it down to tell you the name of her channel).
@@weekendmom thanks! I'll check those out. Appreciate it!
Thank you! 👍
California has a lot of interesting and haunted locations that would make great stories to go over.
Lake Baikal is so unique in terms of its ecology, depth and the inability to get to the bottom and fully explore is so fascinating. Like the ocean we know so little about it! These tales are fascinating. I have a lot of curiosity about it. I'm super curious why it's teeming with life only until a certain point as well. I want to know what causes that
I would imagine it's the lack of oxygen and light once you get to a certain depth. But I'm just some random dude on the net. What do I know.
@@brianclingenpeel5123 this. There is little in the way of chemical precursors for synthesis at those depths. This of course is not contiguous with all bodies of water on earth. Like any other organism, conditions will vary greatly.
Sounds like a perfect place to put a secret UFO base for aliens.
Baikal actually has very oxygen rich waters even at great depths, and the water column regularly mixes at least twice a year bringing nutrients and oxygen to the deeper portions. Because of this, two species of deepwater sculpins that are endemic to the lake, Abyssocottus korotneffi and Cottinella boulengeri are the deepest living freshwater species and have been found in the lowest parts of the lake at depths exceeding 1,600 meters. The amount of species and the total number of fish decreases as you go deeper as the number of nutrients drops, but Baikal supports life throughout.
We can easily reach the bottom of lake baikal with rovs. They say they are concerned with microbial contamination because it was sealed for millions of years
Epipelagic (Sunlight) Zone - 200 m (656 ft)
Mesopelagic (Twilight) Zone - 200-1,000 m (656-3,281 ft)
Bathypelagic (Midnight) Zone - 1,000-4,000 m (3,281-13,123 ft)
*Lake Baikal - 1,600 m (5,249 ft)*
Abyssopelagic Zone (the Abyss) - 4,000-10,000 m (13123-32,808 ft)
Ocean basin - 6,000 m (19,685 ft)
Hadalpelagic Zone (the Trenches) - 10,000-11,000 m (32,808-36,089 ft)
Thanks! That's terrifying!
@@osakarose5612 It has been accessed many times, both by manned and unmanned subs, since the first dive in 1960 (batyscaphe Trieste). You can watch whole documentaries about the trecnh here on youtube.
@@osakarose5612 Where the fuck do you get your completely wrong info?
@@faunbudweis and what was it that they actually accomplished NOTHING,can stay there for even 1 hour
@@osakarose5612 soon there will be a resort there lol
Lake Baikal has always fascinated me. The oldest, deepest and largest freshwater lake in the world! So old that there are species that are found nowhere else! It even holds the only freshwater seal species! A lake that old has to harbor some secrets!
Woah!! Didn't know about the freshwater seal thanks for the cool fact!
@@bangobob3563
They're called нерпа or nerpa in English.
Other species of seals can also live in freshwater for periods of time, though none have been recorded exclusively in freshwater besides the lake Baikal нерпа.
Absolutely agree 100% on a lake that old , deep and large....must have secrets
Old & cold ....
Cool seal facts
It’s good to see you back and watching new episode on Sunday afternoon.
And that creature from Baykal Lakes looks like a creature from black lagoon & deep ones from Lovecraft.

How good is Kimchi tho
This is one of my favorite channels on youtube. I love the more obscure unexplained stories. Cheers to ya!
i would recommend beyond creepy
Paul Stonehill has a ton of videos about not just the Lake Baikal weirdness but Forteana from Asia and Eastern Europe in general including quite a few about USOs and aquatic humanoids
Try Beyond Creepy friend Bedtime are huge fans (admittedly). Most all the stories Bedtime does have been covered by Mr. Black years ago. He isn’t the most eloquent and his theories aren’t usually 100% sound but just take them with a grain of salt and you’ll enjoy some of the most thoroughly/well sourced, obscure stories dedicatedly curated, and intriguing content on YT. Cheers mate 🍻
I was just saying I wish some more bedtime stories would come out. hell yeah!
Wow! What timing! I was going down a google rabbit hole of the deepest lakes in the world. Came across Lake Baikal and the ‘swimmers’. In the back of my mind I was wondering if Bedtime Stories covered this. Hopped on RUclips to see this was posted 6 hours ago!
Swimmers: encounter giant creatures that can breathe underwater
Also swimmers: it would be a good idea to try to catch them. What could go wrong?
Smh
That's your brain on Judai- eh...
Communism.
Water stories are some or the best. Lighthouses, ghost ships, etc. All top tier.
Just in time for bed 💜 Truly my favourite RUclips channel by a mile. Thank you guys so much for your excellent work, as usual!
Excellent episode and a great way to top off my Saturday night.
I've never heard of Lake Baikal before. The "Netflix" version of _"Unsolved Mysteries"_ recently told the story of the Lake Michigan UFO sightings in detail, interviewing many of the people who called 911 and the local weather bureau to ask about and/or report it. One officer was interviewed and, probably the most pivotal person who was a witness that day, the weatherman that tracked the UFOs on radar and was astonished by the seemingly ultrasonic movements of the objects. It was pretty spooky stuff.
(While the mysterious, ghostly, otherworldly stuff is always appreciated, I was wondering when there might be another "true crime" episode of _Bedtime Stories?_ I was going to say the last one I remember was the serial-killing couple, Fred & Rosemary West from the UK, but I guess the bizarre case of stalking and subsequent death of Cindy James, which was more recent on this channel, might also count as TC...)
Nvr heard of World largest and deepest lake in the world? 🤦
How can anyone not have heard? 😮
Been with you guys since day 1 and you’ve never disappointed. Your videos go from strength to strength. Epic stuff from narration, scripting, graphics and editing 👊🏼👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
As always, a brilliant episode. Looking forward to the next one mate.
I love your videos, I usually wait until bedtime for yours and Mr. Nightmare releases or go over some old favorites - I think it's the best time to watch them. However today I listened while doing chores this afternoon and I have to say alone in the house during the day can be just as creepy experience as at bedtime. Excellent and thorough content as always, love your animation in black and white and your voice is just perfect, thank you to Simon and Richard and all who have input into making these mini masterpieces every time, can't wait till the next one!😊👍👻👻📖
can’t get enough of this channel & I love this story!!
awesome!! i HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS TO SPOKEN OF!!
I've been waiting for this one so long. It's such a perfect fit for this channel that I honestly thought you guys already covered this before. Thank you for this video, I appreciate it.
Thank you , I love everything about this channel, the soothing tones and pace you narrate the stories, the miniature in detail ‘ movies’ and how they slowly change. 👍♥️.
All I need is a notification and this channel instantly gets a like, share and watch!! Always look forward to these vids!!
It's been a minute... glad to have some more Bedtime stories!
I've been intrigued by this lake since I first learned about it 30 years ago. Thanks, this is gonna be great to watch.
I've been there about 28 years ago , It's a very mysterious place , many many UFO 🛸 sightings & cryptids. Putin himself is supposed to have gone down there in a submarine to take a looksy. If possible try go yourself. Was part of a package holiday where you visit paranormal places with Transylvania & infamous Baku forest
Strange fact: special ammo and rifle specially designed for underwater combat was delivered to Spetnaz and GRU comandos with project name codified as "Objekt 320-Baikal"
¿Coincidence?
What’s your proof of this?
@@jakespacepiratee3740 you will not find this in SNL of course
Source: I made it up
@@johndoe7017 too lazy to find out yourself, uh?
@@johndoe7017fr
Lake Baikal is just over 1 mile deep, 400
Miles Long and 50 Miles wide. It's estimated to be 25-30 MILLION years old. If there is any place where unknown ancient creatures could have evolved undetected, this would be it.
Lake Vostok is even weirder.
The animations in this one really impressed me. Great episode
Great one again, very well done and the narration is so much on point. Keep it up guys.
You became one of my prefered RUclips channel a couple months ago, after @Mr.Ballen talked about you in his video comments. Both channels are my top 2 on YT. Such great content!
Amazing as always!
Thanks for always having captions. I like to read along, because sometimes I don't quite hear everything. Its much more smooth and pleasant than the automated captions YT provides.
"Fish have been known to develop into unknown sizes"??? Even my dog looked up when he heard that with a "that's not right" expression on his face.
I was hoping you guys would cover this one. I’ve heard this story a couple of times and it gets weirder every time I read about it.
I love this channel. Been following for years now. Keep up the good work. Can’t wait to see new vids. All that said, “the animals have been known to grow to unknown sizes” needs an edit.
I’ve just come across your channel and I’m already addicted!! Such interesting topics! Keep em coming!!!
Since today’s episode, I want to see modern mermaid sightings as well.
The ocean still keeps its secret.
Yeah topless ones!
Obviously there is no such a thing
A few such stories that are intriguing, to say the least:
Benbecula mermaid.
Mermaid of Edam.
River mermaids in Zimbabwe, particularly in 2012 when workers refused to finish building a dam due to these encounters.
@@raumshen9298Bro, why? Flesh on a woman's chest is just that, flesh. Stop this nonsense.
@@CatholicismAppreciator yes it is but the God given attraction to that part of flesh is being referred to
It makes a lot of sense for aliens to be hiding underwater, where we humans rarely go into while the aliens observe us by flying in and out the water whenever they want. Instead of having to come from other places in the Universe.
Of course you then have to ignore the fact that they either have ways to mask their bases from detection as we can map the ocean floor surprisingly easily and do it all the time, so either they are floating and always on the damn move and/or they have masking tech which then asks why don't they use it more to avoid detection? Or why do they spend so many resources to study us? for curiosity, to explore the universe? That is a long way to go for just mere observations.
@Victory Could be the masking where they have the ability not to be detected in any way underwater. Who knows, but to think there's out of this world beings hiding on Earth to observe us, is very unsettling.
@victory8928 maybe the bases are below the ocean floor or inside mounds. Which makes a natural camouflage for sonars.
I was just talking to my daughter about this story yesterday! Can't wait to show her this video later.
This is a top tier channel, my 11 year old nephew was hyped when I bought him the beast of gevaudan shirt last year for his bday! We watch videos from this channel once a week when I babysit him for my sister lol
The absolute timing, i was just lamenting the fact that I've already watched every single woodside episode so far
Love the uploads keep it coming 👌
I LOVE Bedtime Stories. Best watched with the lights out.
That was a great change of pace!!! And an area we dont usually hear about... tha k you again for your great works!!!
I love this channel. It's on the level of Mrballen for me. The narration compared to the illustrations are very captivating to me. It's a crime that you don't have a million if not 2 million subs.
Do more stories about Siberia truly that place is fill with so many mysteries
I won't be surprised if that was just the tip of the iceberg for Siberia's mysteries... 😊
Had no idea about this lake or the cryptid like monster stories that went along with it. Pretty cool stuff like usual :) Great work!
I love how this story has grown over the years. The older it gets the more details we get. Usually works the other way
Great story, glad to have you back.
As soon as I seen a new Bedtime Stories video pop up I was excited. Then I seen it was about Lake Baikal, which I've heard the stories for a number of times. BUT I said to myself "Nobody does it as good as Bedtime Stories.. Let's GO!!"
I love this channel so much! Keep up the great work!
Lake Baikal has the only species of fresh water Seals on Earth. It's magnificent.
Love the new video! I sure hope we get to see a revisit to mothman one day, that was one of my all time favorites from you guys
Another informative documentary. Thanks!
I remember when i started watching this channel almost two years ago that i was searching for this story being told by you, but you hadn't so this is very nice.
Everything about this channel is top notch.
This is one of my all time favorite stories. I love to revisit it! How about Dyatlov's Pass for a next one? (if you haven't done it already...)
They did a 2 part series a few years back, and also revisited the story in another dedicated video. Binge them all lol!
2 parter done 5 years go
Great story guys, definitely everything that involves cryptids you can count that I'm interested.
Thanks for the uploads Bedtime Crew, Rob UK
Interesting and looking great as usual! Thanks!
Wow! Listen guys... you just keep getting better all the time... thank you for the obviously hard work you put in to this... I think I will pull these up and show some to my granddaughter who really gets a kick out of ghost stories and cryptid stories... she is 9 yo and loves to curl up on the couch and watch Slapped Ham videos... by the way... have you guys done any research in to the people going missing around tge Eastern Rocky Mountains? Thanx again and peace to you!
welcome back love these
Intriguing story, just imagine an alien species living at the depths of this lake.
Well done & thank you.
Maybe we’re the aliens😅
The only lake with a species of seal just got even more interesting.
It does for us too just reading that!
Those fucking seals are up to something.
This story is so exciting. I wish more channels would talk about it. Thank u for talking about this bc no one does!!
Got a notification, was happy to see another upload.
Welp. i can safely say for certain this is one of the creepiest episodes of this entire series. That reveal of the underwater entities, ugh, that shit chilled me to my very bones, i swear to god. lol.
Really happy to see you guys produce this episode on this ancient lake. You do not find too much info on the incident so many doubt its authenticity. I for one believe in it. Your channel produces phenomenal topics backed up with awesome artwork, while the narration is soothing and on point. Thank you!
The Lake doesn't exist today
@@charless1145 I think you are confusing Lake Baikal with the Aral Sea.
Lovely video, lads! This has long been one of the strangest yet most fascinating incidents to me in all of Forteana.
What a great video!!! Well done!!! 👍👍👍
Ah, stuff like this doesn't help my fear of water 😅
Hopefully not those monster movies.
This is why I swim with a dive knife strapped to my leg.
@@TheAKgunner This is why I don't go swimming.
I don't swim in anything that I can't see the bottom.
@@racerx009 same mostly but I live near a lough (lake) that there is nothing bigger than a pike I'm very aware of the eco system and I don't mind swimming in it that is until you get to a part known as the broad lough and it just feels too big and too deep and I'll avoid swimming there
This is why I swim with a dive knife strapped to my leg.
My favorite type of documentary. Well done sir. Thanks 🙏 ❤
I remember seeing a video on this really interesting & as usual you guys don't miss on great stories more images are nice also great job likewise 🙏
9:31-9:51 The alien said ,"that's not a gun, THIS is a gun." Never bring a gun to an alien tech gun fight.
Don't go there empty-handed either, though.😅
Oddly, I think this could fit in well in a sequel to Metro Exodus, where Artyom and Co' or their descendents encounter the Swimmers as part of the plot
Been a fan of this story for years! Definitely would like to visit the place sometime.
I just literally thought it'd be good to check for new videos on this channel, and lo and behold.
Russian navy divers: Let's capture one of them so we can study it & hopefully weaponize whatever tech we can glean from it!
*~Strange beings reacted accordingly to avoid capture~*
Russian navy divers: Surprised Pikachu face 😲🤣
I saw one of these beings under the waters of 'Lake Tenkiller'. I later realized it was just my mother-in-law.
Breakfast and bedtime stories, good way to start the day
Thanks so much for the upload . Omg, i appreciate it whenever you can post. It's always quality over quantity with you all. ❤️
Gotta side with the "swimmers". They weren't attacking the divers. They simply ejected hostile forces who were trying to harm them. Yet another example of humans being the aggressors then claiming to be the victim..
My guy ur a human u can’t just go switchin teams like that lol
We are always the aggressive ones no matter what we do where we go we was put here,not the other way round
POV you're the older sibling
😂😂
@@coreyw2315Uhmm, these swimmers are the aggressors, when they invade our bodies of water. Us humans are home to this planet, but these swimmers arent(if they even exist).
Deep, Northern, freshwater lakes seem to have way more paranormal phenomena than coastal areas or warmer freshwater lakes.
Thanks for putting your spin on this fascinating story.
Fascinating. I hadn't heard about such an incident prior.
Could H.P. Lovecraft have actually been onto something regarding the Deep Ones...?
These lakes do pre date the last Ice Age.
Lake baikal is as deep in some points as some points of the Atlantic and pacific oceans! I’m not at ALL surprised stuff like this occurs there (or at least it’s rumored to). It’s also ridiculously clear. You can walk over it in winter and look down through the ice and see 200 or more feet down.
That's why I have mixed feelings about going to see it one day. On one hand, the ice and snow is something I'd love to experience. On the other hand.... looking down through the ice would probably give me a heart attack.
@@koy5902 me too. I have thalassaphobia. Lol
@@koy5902 I have to agree, I don’t want to get another phobia. I’m already dealing with nyctophobia due to seeing some strange lights in December, 2020.
One of the top 10 best channels on RUclips.
Great sound FX!
To me, it sounds like it could be a sudden release of a carbon dioxide bubble from the lake depths. Such releases have been well documented in other volcanic lakes in the world resulting in the symptoms displayed by the divers
Who's to say there isn't something there though? We know more about Space than our own planet
That's a really compelling theory actually considering the lake has volcanic activity.
Well, except for what it’s claimed they saw.
You ever think about why this is the case? Why are we doing so much to explore space when we havent even fully explored our oceans?
What if the government found something so horrible that they're trying to leave the planet?
@@eyegnieesllAehhh, i wouldn't put it pass them , regardless of how unlikely it is
So glad you don’t have an annoying voice like some of these other RUclipsrs, I’m sure they all have great content but I can’t make it through the videos without grimacing and turning the channel. Plus your videos are top notch.
Happy to see you back fellas 👍🙂👍
Love this channel.
Brilliant narration. Excellent stories.
Rivermonsters needs to figure this out 🤔🤔
This is terrifying...
Awesome Work !!
One of the most intriguing weird sightings.
I would be willing to bet that you could do a years worth of videos, just on that location alone. There are so many stories that have come out of that region, over the years. Thanks for a look see into some of these stories.
Keep up the Amazing work BTS the best mystery channel on YT
