  • Discovered in 1853 by John Wesley Hillman, Crater Lake in the south central region of Oregon is shrouded in mystery and strange occurrences. One of the biggest mysteries surrounding Crater Lake is The Old Man, a 35 foot tree trunk that floats vertically and travels about 2-5 miles in a single day. The trunk also appears to have supernatural powers that can control the weather in the area if the Old Man is disturbed. On top of a mysterious log that can change the forecast, many people go missing and some even do the unthinkable.

    Hi there. Crafter lake employee here. I’ve been to Crater Lake on a multitude of times for 20 years and a lot of the stuff is true and a lot of it is just myth. For example:
    1. The old man of the lake is actually a giant ant colony in a tree log. That is why it floats vertically and floats in an odd way around the lake. If you look close enough at the log you can see a lot of them, coming out of the log. The ants will eat whatever insects float their way and they will bring it into the colony and feed the rest. That is why all the weight is at the bottom of the log because that is where the main ant colony lives.
    2. The story of the old man falling off the ledge is true but the circumstances are shrouded in mystery. More than likely the guy was depressed and didn’t like his married life and committed suicide. However, there are more than five incidents of helicopters crashing into the crater in attempt to rescue people who have fallen into them and were heavily injured.
    3. There was a submersible that went to the very bottom of the lake and they only discovered not even 1% of the bottom of the lake. I believe that is the most mysterious part of the lake out of all the stories. Because who knows what is at the bottom and what kind of relics or a new species live there.
    4. The mystery of the man disintegrating, is a very mysterious thing indeed. A lot of my employees and myself agreed that it was just animals eating his corpse and his feet just remain because the animals didn’t want to eat it. Typically animals won’t eat the feet of prey or whatever they scavenge. The only thing that really does that are maggots. Which as you would imagine during the highest snow season of the year, there are no flies to be found whatsoever. So that explains the strange decomposition.
    5. I have hiked on Garfield Peak and around the outer edge of the crater and I’ve never heard any voices whatsoever in the 20 years I’ve been up there. A lot of that is just myth and nothing to be scared of. I highly recommend anyone to go there and check out its beautiful splendor because you’ll never find anything like it. Also the lodge has fucking awesome pancakes! Go check it out.

    The strangest thing that happened to me at Crater Lake was when I went in to the gift shop near the hotel parking lot at the crater rim, I left $180 there and got a few shot glasses, some calendars, and some photo postcards. Some mysterious force sucked the life out of my Visa card. Some of the other guys in our motorcycle club felt this force as well. But the Prospect Historic Hotel was worth staying in.

      I've never heard of them either. My Great-Aunt lived in Oregan, and my grandparents would go and visit her about every other year. They always made a trip to Crater Lake, camped up around there somewhere, and did whatever activities there were. I remember seeing the lake and camping somewhere around there too when I was 5, and it's what I remember most of the two weeks we were in Oregan. This is the first I've heard of any mysteries or of 'the old man.' To visit there again is on my bucket list.

      I've only managed to visit Crater Lake once immediately after the solar eclipse of 2017, and it was mostly shrouded in smoke from nearby wildfires, but what I could see was still beautiful. The waterfall on the S.E. side, seen from the access road was stunning. People love making up mysterious and supernatural stories, especially if it brings them clicks on RUclips. It's just mythology. Crater Lake is a wonder to see and visit. Will do it again when I get the opportunity.

    My experiences at Crater Lake were totally different. My father was a park ranger and they lived at the lake for 10+ years. We left the park in 1942 when I was 4 and my brother was 6. I still have home movies from that period and many good memories of return trips while I was growing up. I have one shot taken in the winter of 1951 or 52 showing the roadside snow bank at the rim village with 37 Ft. of snow. The 2 story log cabin that we lived in was at Annie Springs and sadly was demolished in later years to allow more space for roadway improvements.

    Our family has a cousin that visited Crater Lake several years back now. He was camping alone there somewhere, and was doing a lot of hiking around the lake. A visitor last saw him standing at the end of a cliff overlooking the lake taking pictures, and that was the last time he had ever been seen. Suicide was ruled out by friends and family members that knew him closely. Officials searched for his body below in the rocks for many days but never could find it. A very mysterious disappearance of his body to say the least.

    There is a regional vortex Field, which is centered to the west of Crater Lake. The demarcation lines, where stuff happens, pass through Cottage Grove, Oregon. That explains the anomalous events that occur in that town. I saw a bear jump through an invisible portal and disappear near there. That demarcation line travels way down to California and I know a man who was transported instantly, about 110 miles down a highway in northern California. He wrote a book and charted this vortex field. The book is called The Golden Vortex, by Nick Nelson. I've read the book four times, because it is a bit technical, yet absolutely fascinating! My experience with the bear happened as I was reading his book for the first time. They were attempting to get my attention. It worked!

    Local tribe's witnessed Mt Mazama's upper half implode, about 7700 years ago. They considered the lake a very spiritual and sacred place. I have zero belief in the paranormal. But I have returned twice to a trail at it's outer base, where the source of the Rogue River comes out of the ground. The warm positive energy, flowing from this young tree, had me return to it a second time. It's a special area, I've spent lot's of time in. People die almost every year, trying to take selfies next to the edge of the caldron. I'd like to believe that the area's experience, depends on the amount of respect given to it. The high desert area just east of the lake, have felt strange since I was a kid. This is where most of the area's tribe's lived, for the past 15,000 years. They were hunted down by the army and killed, or removed to reservations. The area was later used for Japanese internment camps, during ww2. The area has seen a lot of suffering, and you can almost feel it. P.S. Bigfoot is in the connecting Siskiyou Mountain's, Red Buttes Wilderness. It's about 60 miles southwest of the lake. There's a massive iron Big Foot trap up there. Sorry for the rant, great video!

      I loved the experiences, always felt deep love and respect for that place. To me, it was deeply spiritual, a time like no other. Now, I live in Klamath Falls and can't help but feel actual pain when someone goes missing or is injured or someone using the land as a racetrack. It's a place that commands respect to its environment. I pray this place remains as it is and supposed to be. Oh, and I drank straight out of Vidae Falls, Annie Creek and others with never a problem, as well as filling my canteen from the Wizard Island dock. Back then it was the best water, wherever I filled my canteen!
      When I pass on, my ashes will be scattered around the Wildflower Trail. ❤️

    There is a name of these type of vertical floating logs, "deadheads"
    Basically when the tree trunk fell in the lake and the bottom end with all the roots was holding enough rocks and dirt to keep that end weighed down and submerged. In the time it took the roots to rot enough to release the rocks it was holding, the top end dried out from the sun, and the bottom end became saturated with water, maintaining its position in the water.

It seemed very mystical. I was with three other friends and we didn’t stay long. If I’d been there alone, my fate could have taken a very different turn. I’m so glad you posted this video.

    • @jimedick9496
      @jimedick9496 2 года назад +5

      I think the thermal activity at the bottom of the lake has everything to do with it. There’s no outlet, or inlet of water, like a creek, or river. The lake is completely enclosed inside the rim of a volcano. The water levels maintain through snow and rain, and evaporation. There’s still geothermal activity at the bottom of the lake, so it’s possible that the log sits upright and moves do to that activity. Something to consider, but I’m only assuming. I can’t say for certain, but it’s the likely cause.

      @jimedick9496 2 года назад +1

      @I'm Banned In Hidden
      After reading my own comment, I should’ve clarified a couple of things. I wasn’t referencing the reason why the log is up right. That can happen if the log was submerged up against the bank at one point, and the bottom half became water logged before it freed itself, and now floats permanently like that….. I was referring to the movements the log travels around the lake. It’s known that the log goes against the wind. There’s no river or creek running out of the lake either causing a constant current. So I was explaining my thoughts as to why the log floats around the lake. I assume it’s because of the geothermal activities from the bottom of the lake causing currents from the lake floor. Again, this is just an idea, not a definitive answer. Scientists don’t even know the answer, so I’m curious as to how you know I’m wrong.

I can say it was two of the best summers of my life. Crater Lake is a Magical Place. I can say swimming in the lake is a cold but refreshing experience. The hike back up the rim will heat you back up, the switch backs are a lot better now then in 1988. I made some great friends while working at Crater Lake. I Loved being a Cook at the Watchman restaurant.
    The Native Americans Discovered Mount Mazama aka Crater Lake way before any White man did, Just sayin. If you drive around the lake and read the lookout signs It will tell you what the Native Americans called things at the lake way before we came along and took over the lake and the land around it. Sorry my kids are half Native American.

    I’ve heard the story of the man who emptied his pockets and just walked into the lake. However, it’s frustrating because I’ve heard different versions and I wonder which is true now. I’ve heard he walked in (not jumped off the 700ft cliff) and never seen again. And this version says he jumped off of that huge cliff and recovered.

    I have been to Crater lake at a time when you could rent a rowboat and Wizard island wasn't off limits.getting in the boat my dad and I started rowing out to the island. The lake is much bigger then it looks and the island appears to be closer then it is because it's soo big. The island is massive but it doesn't appear that big from the rim or lookout point. It took us 2 1/2 hours to row out to the island and because the surface of the water tends to spin around the island we had to constantly alter our course. About half way we stopped alering our course and rowed with the current and ended up landing on the island on the opposite side from the visiter center. We were only on the island for a short time when it seemed like we had woken something up by being there the ground of the island seemed to come alive and had an almost electrical charge building up in it. I could reach down and try to pick up a rock and would feel a sort of shock hit my arm as if i had been dragging my stocking feet on a carpet and touched a door knob. My dad and I very purposely made our way back to our boat which stra gely was now about 10 feet from the waters edge but when we had left the boat the stern was still in the water. It felt almost like the island had started breathing because as we were dragging the boat to the water all of a sudden the boat was in the water floating and i was knee deep in the lake when just a half second before i was standing on dry land. I was kinda freaking out cuz I felt really weird and dizzy and a little sick to my stomache.my dad scooped me up and dumped me into the boat at the same he literally jumped clearing the side of the boat landing in it and grabbing oars. We rowed with thecurrent flow around the other side of the island and toward the hotel. The water seemed to be moving much faster and had waves to it eminating from the island to the rim then back out to the island. Instead of it taking 2.5 hours to row back it took only 45 min.I noticed when we rounded the island where i could see the dock and where all the people were near the lake shore they were all gone and I could a small group hurrying back up to the top of the rim. We got back up there and started talking to the park people working the visiter center and they said they werent quite sure what happened but that they had felt what they said was a slight thud as if a car had hit the side of the building. I explained what we had experienced on the island and they said it sounded like an eruption quake but that was impossible because the cauldara beneath the mountain was dead.the next summer dad and i went back but the boats were gone and you could no longer go out to wizard island. They said because the island was unstable and it had suffered some pretty significant rock slides on it including the 1 that caused the island exposed to air to bcome bigger. From an aireal view you can now see where the island had slid extending the 1 side further out into the lake then it had before. I'm sure there's a scientifc explanation for what we experienced ut as far as I'm concerned us being on the island made the mountaina bit mad andit reacted. Thats all i know.

    I’m sure 99 percent plus if the people that go there don’t experience anything strange and take in the beauty . Gorgeous place. That being said one persons experience or a lot of peoples personal experiences does not cancel out another’s that did in fact happen . I’ve got a book somewhere ( it may be Weird Oregon not sure) and a woman is quoted in there ( she was with numerous other witnesses ) of a shocking experience she had at crater lake. She said they were enjoying the crystal clear blue water because they were amazed at how far down you could see . She said suddenly an enormous beast came swimming under the boat , she said it looked for all the world like a classical dragon. She was emphatic: she had never been so horrified in all her life. True story

    Worked at Crater in 2012, we has one employee go missing. Just wandered off into the forest and wasn't seen until two days later when a couple found him walking on the side of the road.
    His disappearance was blamed on 'weed' when he was asked why he went off into the woods at night he said "I just felt like it." 🤷‍♀️
    The company at the time that ran the park was Xanterra. Xanterra is the Spirit Airlines of National Parks, so either this was inevitable or (because we had a lot of stoners and they stayed put) something else.

    Been there as a kid and hiked all around, even swam in the lake. I remember on the hike in feeling really scared and I kept losing my family out of view. Like the woods were dark and twisted. I jumped in the lake for a second when we got there but got out really quick because the depth was frightening, and we weren’t supposed to be in the water. All around it was just eerie, but nothing specifically that I can remember. It was just creepy.

Then we go down to the lake to go boating on this tourist thingy. They have 2 boats go one at a time and the shady dude was in front of us going on the boat before us. his boat took off with like 5 or 6 other people and it took one hour before a rescue boat arrived and saying that the boat sunk or something.

Maybe because it's an obvious valcano...or perhaps there's something else going on there. What I do know is I've checked out everything on the west coast yet , I steered clear of Crater Lake for 65 years.
