00:06There are some things you should probably not go looking for, because every so often,

00:11someone sees something they cannot explain, and instead of walking away, they decide to find out

00:16what it was. A strange cave hidden somewhere in the Nevada desert, a man convinced he'd been

00:22cursed and had just days to live, and a mysterious figure spotted on a mountain that would lead to

00:27claims of government agents, surveillance, and eventually a disappearance. In this video,

00:33what these people saw became an obsession, and not long afterwards, something happened to them.

00:40Maybe they were coincidences, maybe they are perfectly rational explanations for everything

00:45you're about to see. When you know how these stories end, some of this footage becomes incredibly

00:50disturbing to watch. Welcome to the Creepy Marathon Month. You know the drill.

00:57Hit those lights, sit back, and enjoy.

01:02Okay, now a quick word from our sponsor. Dump this brown powder into your coffee,

01:06and your body starts pumping out 80% more of the molecule that won the Nobel Prize.

01:10This is Black Forest High Flavanal Cocoa. In 1998, three scientists won the Nobel Prize

01:17for discovering nitric oxide's role in blood flow, energy, stammer, and sexual health.

01:22Now the problem was, nitric oxide production declines dramatically with age,

01:26and poor cardiovascular health remains the number one killer in America.

01:30Here's leading biochemist Dr. Nathan Bryan explaining why.

01:34Nitric oxide is a signaling molecule in the human body, which regulates things like blood flow and

01:38oxygen delivery, and the loss of nitric oxide production is the earliest event in the onset

01:43progression of age-related chronic disease. So things like erectile dysfunction, diabetes,

01:47Alzheimer's, high blood pressure, which is the number one driver of cardiovascular disease,

01:51which is the number one killer of men and women worldwide.

01:53That's why you feel slower, foggy, tired, cold hands and feet, soft pumps at the gym.

01:58It's not getting old, it's nitric oxide decline. Cocoa flavanols can help boost nitric oxide.

02:04In a clinical trial, just seven days of high flavanal cocoa increased blood flow by nearly 80%,

02:10but it was not the same with regular chocolate. Processing destroyed most flavanols.

02:15And then came Harvard's COSMOS trial. 21,000 people taking cocoa flavanols daily

02:20saw a 27% lower risk of cardiovascular death.

02:23I haven't even started working out, but 30, 45 minutes after I took the high flavanal cocoa,

02:28already the vasodilation, the veins are popping up. Even down, you can see it in my legs, you guys.

02:32And I don't know if you guys know this, but there's almost nothing more healing than more

02:35healthy blood flow and blood pump throughout your body. I just finished my workout, and it's not

02:39just about the aesthetics and looking cool with the veins. This Harvard doctor, Dr. Lee, put out a

02:43study that high flavanal organic cocoa could literally double your own stem cell production to be

02:48pulled out of your own bone marrow and put in all the proper places, like your heart, your kidney,

02:51your liver. Like, that's wild.

02:53That's why I switched to Black Forest High Flavanal Cocoa. One scoop delivers 1,200 mg of

02:59cocoa flavanols, far more than typical high flavanal cocoa. It supports nitric oxide and

03:04blood flow, which means better stamina, workouts, focus, and circulation. I add it to my morning

03:10coffee, and within 10 to 15 minutes, I'm dialed in, and thousands of Black Forest reviews tell the

03:15same story. More energy, better workouts, sharper focus, and better circulation. And for Labor Day,

03:22Black Forest is running their biggest deal of the year. For the next 48 hours, buy one,

03:26get one free storewide, plus a free bottle of MNN with every order. That's buy one,

03:31get two free, but it's only available through my link below. The deal ends 48 hours after this video

03:36goes live, so don't wait. And now, let's keep going.

03:46Kenny Veach was a 47-year-old resident of Las Vegas, Nevada. He was known for his inventions and

03:52love of the outdoors, and on various online forums, Veach claimed to have hiked countless different

03:57mountains and caves in the Mojave and Great Basin deserts. In 2014, while commentating on a YouTube

04:04video that discussed claims made by the son of an Area 51 technician, Veach shared a peculiar

04:10experience he had during a hike in the Sheep Range near the infamous Area 51. According to his account,

04:18he encountered a cave entrance shaped remarkably like the letter M. However, the shape wasn't the

04:23most unusual part about his experience. As he approached the entrance, Veach claimed that his

04:28body began to vibrate, and the closer he got, the more intense the sensation became, eventually

04:34frightening him enough to turn around and go back to his vehicle. His comments quickly gained attention

04:40from other users, with many encouraging him to return to the site and explore further,

04:46while others questioned the existence of the cave. Motivated at least in part by these doubts,

04:51Kenny decided to return. In October 2014, he set out on a second journey to locate the mysterious cave,

05:00this time documenting his expedition and uploading the footage to his YouTube channel, SnakebiteMG,

05:06under the title, M. Cave Hike. Take a watch.

05:11My mission today is to just do a one-day hike. It's about a 10-hour hike. I get to

05:18still go over another ridge,

05:19and then go all the way down a big crevice. It's real narrow and gets kind of scary.

05:26I'm looking for a cave that I found, and I didn't have a sidearm when I was here before,

05:32and something about that cave just spooked me. Out of all the caves I've ever gone in,

05:37this one just made my body vibrate. The closer I got to it, the crazier my body felt,

05:42and I was like, all right, I'm not going to go in there right now, but I'm coming back someday,

05:46and I talked to some people on YouTube, and I told them, hey, I'm coming out here, you know,

05:50because they kind of called my hand on it, so I don't know if there's going to be anything to

05:54it,

05:54but it might be interesting. If I can find it, I've got to relocate it, and this is a big

05:59mountain range

06:00I'm in, and I'm on foot, you know. My truck's way out there. There's no roads. There's no trails.

06:07It's a pretty rough terrain, so hopefully I'll find it. It's shaped like a big M. It's a big cave

06:13that looks just like a gigantic M, and it's about as tall as I am, and kind of narrow, and

06:19it's stuck

06:20on the side of a mountain, so I hope I can find it again, and if I do, I'm going

06:25in there. I'm going

06:26to put on my light, and take my gun out, and walk in there, see if I find anything. We'll

06:31see.

06:32The journey took him through the rugged wilderness of Nevada, where the terrain was isolated,

06:37difficult to navigate, and potentially dangerous. During the hike, Veach reported seeing something

06:42unusual. A black ram appeared to be watching him from atop a ridge. Despite his efforts, Veach was

06:49unable to locate the entrance to the cave. However, he later announced plans for a third expedition,

06:54this time intending to be better prepared. On November 10th, 2014, Kenny is believed to have

07:02embarked on his third journey into the Nevada wilderness. He took his truck, a cell phone,

07:08and a gun with him. Before leaving, he informed his girlfriend about his plans, but he did not

07:13provide specific details about his intended destination. That would be the last time anyone

07:19saw or heard from him. When Kenny failed to return, several days went by before his girlfriend

07:26reported him missing. A search operation was launched, and what rescuers discovered only deepened

07:32the mystery surrounding his disappearance. The region that Veach had been exploring was no ordinary

07:37hiking destination. It was remote and challenging, scattered with abandoned mineshafts and long stretches

07:44of isolated desert. Some reports suggested that the old shafts were used by the military for chemical

07:51disposal. The area is also known for reports of criminal activity, including drug trafficking and

07:57the dumping of murder victims, and for anyone navigating such an environment, the dangers are

08:03considerable. In addition to these hazardous conditions, Veach reportedly faced a journey of approximately 10 hours

08:10on foot, there and back, to reach the general vicinity of the M cave. Nevada search and rescue personnel,

08:17along with volunteers and officials, conducted an extensive search of the area, but there was no sign of

08:23Kenny. On November 22nd, his cell phone was discovered near an abandoned mineshaft, and his white Honda CRV

08:31was found at the trailhead. The location of the phone indicated that Veach had reached the area he intended

08:37to explore. However, beyond this, the evidence did not provide any clear explanation for his disappearance.

08:44To this date, his fate remains unknown. Over the years, his disappearance has led to numerous theories.

08:51According to Kenny's girlfriend, Shayon, he had been struggling with depression for many years.

08:57She mentioned that his condition worsened in the months leading up to his disappearance,

09:01and said that he had expressed suicidal thoughts, and once suggested that if he ever chose to end his life,

09:06nobody would find him. She believed that Kenny may have intentionally disappeared into the desert,

09:12possibly using one of the region's many caves or abandoned mineshafts to conceal his location.

09:18She also pointed to an unusual detail regarding his final expedition. Although Kenny had mentioned

09:24he would bring his GoPro camera, she believed he did not take his video camera with him on his last

09:28hike.

09:30She also suggested that he may have deliberately left his cell phone near an abandoned mineshaft,

09:34to avoid being tracked. It's also unknown whether Kenny took his handgun with him during the journey,

09:41as the firearm has never been found. Another possibility is that Veach suffered an accident in

09:47the remote terrain. The Nevada desert presents numerous hazards including extreme temperatures,

09:52steep and unstable ground, dehydration and concealed mineshafts. A fall into an abandoned shaft or cave

10:00could make someone extremely difficult to locate, and even a survivable injury could become fatal if help

10:07could not be reached. However, despite the plausibility of an accident, there is no evidence to back this claim.

10:14But perhaps the most speculative theory involves the nearby military installations and the region's

10:19association with Area 51. Some have theorized that Kenny encountered something he was not supposed to see

10:26in the mysterious M cave, possibly evidence of his secret military experiments or extraterrestrial activity.

10:33All the signs suggest that he reached the cave, but did that seal his fate?

10:37To date, this one, along with Christopher Case's story, remains a mystery.

10:46Now, Christopher Case was a 35-year-old living in Seattle, Washington. In 1991, he was a former radio

10:53broadcaster who had worked as an executive for Muzak, the company known for producing the background music

10:58commonly heard in elevators. On April 11th, Christopher travelled to San Francisco for a work-related

11:05conference. During the trip, he met a woman whose identity has never been conclusively established.

11:11The two reportedly shared an interest in ancient music and spent time talking. However, according to

11:18what Christopher later told a friend, the encounter took an unsettling turn when the woman made romantic

11:23or sexual advances towards him, which he allegedly rejected. And what happened next is truly bizarre.

11:31According to his friends, he reportedly claimed that the woman became angry, identified herself as a

11:37witch and threatened to place a curse on him. But perhaps the most disturbing part of the story was

11:43her alleged prediction that he would be dead within a week. I think you can gather where this one's going.

11:50After returning to Seattle, Christopher began making a series of strange phone calls to his friends.

11:55During these calls, he sounded confused or afraid, claiming that someone was trying to get him. He said he had

12:02been cursed and that a witch was attacking him with spells and supernatural powers. He told one friend,

12:08that after me, I am very, very afraid, extremely afraid, I could die from this.

12:14Christopher claimed that a witch had been cutting him during the night, and when he woke up,

12:18the tips of his fingers were covered in blood and small cuts.

12:22On April 14th, Christopher said that he was hearing whispers in his apartment. He claimed he could see

12:28shadows moving from the corner of his eye and experienced waking up with someone's hands around

12:32his throat, feeling as though they were squeezing him as hard as they could. In fact, he became so

12:37afraid of sleeping in his home, he apparently spent a few nights in a hotel. His friends became increasingly

12:44worried, as Christopher had never shown any interest in the paranormal before, but believed the woman he

12:50had met in San Francisco had cursed him. As his fears intensified, he began seeking religious objects

12:56and materials, purchasing bibles and crucifixes in an attempt to protect himself. But things would

13:03only escalate. On April 18th, when a friend in North Carolina contacted authorities in Seattle,

13:08after becoming concerned that Christopher could not be reached. Police went to his apartment,

13:14and what they discovered was deeply disturbing. Christopher was dead. He was found in his bathtub,

13:21fully clothed and kneeling in the dry tub, with his head resting against the wall. There were zero signs

13:27of forced entry or a struggle. However, investigators discovered various items throughout the apartment,

13:34indicating that Christopher had been trying to protect himself from something he feared. Salt was

13:39placed along the base of the walls, and crucifixes and burned candles were scattered throughout the

13:44property. The scene suggested that he had become increasingly desperate for protection. But from what?

13:52Despite these unsettling circumstances, medical findings found no evidence of foul play, and an autopsy

13:59found that Case had died from heart failure. Now Case was a young man with no known medical issues.

14:05The events surrounding his death have spawned a variety of speculation. Could Christopher have experienced an

14:10acute psychological crisis after believing he had been cursed? Did severe fear and stress contribute to

14:17a fatal cardiac event? Or was there an underlying medical condition that went undiagnosed? It is known

14:24that in the days leading up to his untimely death, he became so frightened that he sought refuge in hotels,

14:30reaching out to friends for reassurance, and surrounding himself with objects he believed could offer him

14:35protection? In his mind, he had encountered something so terrifying that he took desperate measures to

14:41try and escape it, but it ultimately didn't work. So was he cursed and killed by witchcraft, or did he

14:48literally scare himself to death? What do you think? Now this one leads on to the incredibly disturbing case of

14:54Andy Dawson.

14:59In recent years, TikTok has become a global phenomenon, attracting users from various backgrounds who share

15:05a wide range of content. Andrew Dawson, known by the handle AndyCapt, was one such user, who posted a

15:13variety of videos showcasing his everyday life in Canada. However, things changed dramatically for Dawson

15:20on April 9th, 2022, while he was driving with a friend near Whistle's Peak in Alberta, Canada.

15:27As they drove, Andrew noticed something unusual on a ridge. Curious to take a closer look, he convinced his

15:33friend to stop the car. Believing he had witnessed something extraordinary, he recorded a video of

15:40the figure standing on the ridge, and posted it to his TikTok page, captioning it,

15:44It's a giant. Take a look.

15:53What is it?

15:55It's a person, dude!

15:59No, seriously, pull over, pull over.

16:04No.

16:06There's a person standing there.

16:08No, it's not!

16:09Dude, have you seen what I've seen right now?

16:22The video went viral, and encouraged by the attention, Dawson decided to investigate further

16:27to identify the mysterious figure. After promising his followers that he would try to capture clearer

16:32footage, Andrew returned to the site. However, there was no sign of the mysterious figure.

16:39Undeterred, he continued his search and returned to the area. While driving in Jasper National Park,

16:44he was stopped by someone he described as a government agent, who claimed he was trespassing.

16:49The next day, he resumed his search in the area, but was stopped once again on the same road as

16:54the

16:54previous day. Once more, he encountered the same agent, who instructed him to turn back. Despite this,

17:01Andrew persisted, and shared what he claimed was a sighting of a UFO.

17:06Andrew was absent from social media for a few weeks, which sparked concern amongst his followers.

17:12When he returned, he posted a video titled Being Stalked, in which he shared that he had been

17:16followed by an unmarked vehicle. He appeared genuinely frightened in this video. Take a look.

17:39After this video was uploaded, Andrew disappeared from social media for a few more weeks,

17:44before returning with an update.

17:46Hey guys, I just want to give you an update. I'm not dead. I have not disappeared.

17:54I have just been busy with life. I couldn't get around to posting and updating you guys. So,

18:00now I'm going to give you an official update of what's been going on. Sorry to disappoint you guys,

18:06but all the videos that I posted were scripted. They were just fake. They were just strictly for

18:13entertainment. Sorry to disappoint you guys. The comments surged, with many people believing

18:20that he was coerced into claiming everything was fake by the government agents he alleged were

18:24following him. Viewers also speculated that someone else was present during the video,

18:29pressuring him to make those statements. Ten days later, while filming in the dark,

18:34he posted another video. You might not see me post ever again.

18:41My videos weren't fake. The following day, he posted this.

18:52That was not there yesterday. After this video was posted, Andrew took a break and returned a few

18:58weeks later with his usual everyday life videos, making no mention of being stalked or the mysterious

19:04occurrences he had encountered. Tony Merkel, the host of the Confessionals podcast, reached out to

19:10Andrew on Instagram about a possible interview. When Andrew eventually replied, Tony asked if the

19:16videos were real or just a prank. Andrew responded, all fake, everything is fake. Tony then inquired,

19:23why? What did you see? To which Andrew replied that he couldn't discuss it. He insisted that it never

19:30happened and cautioned Tony not to communicate with him, urging him to stay safe. In the months

19:37that followed, it seemed that Andrew wanted to move on from the mountain mystery and continue with his

19:42life. But unfortunately, that didn't seem possible. On July 1st, 2022, Andrew's death was announced in the

19:50Kampau River Mirror. He reportedly took his own life at the age of 34. Speculation surged online.

19:57Was his death merely a coincidence, or was it yet another case of a whistleblower mysteriously

20:02disappearing? What had Andrew witnessed on that mountain? Why was he being followed? Did he uncover

20:08something so secretive that government agents felt the need to silence him? The truth is, no one really

20:14knows, but the debate still goes on. As with many viral mysteries, the story surrounding Andrew Dawson

20:20does not end with the footage. Online discussions suggest that Andrew might still be alive, with some

20:27claiming that both the giant sightings and his alleged death were fabricated as part of an elaborate hoax

20:32designed to generate views on TikTok. One detail frequently mentioned in his obituary, which supposedly

20:39appeared on a local news website on the same day he was said to have died. Skeptics argue that the

20:45website allowed members of the public to submit posts without proof of death, meaning the obituary

20:50cannot be considered reliable confirmation of what happened. Additionally, Andrew's sister, a regular

20:58Facebook user, did not publicly acknowledge his passing, adding another layer of inconsistency to the

21:03story in the eyes of observers. But then came an even more troubling theory. Some online investigators

21:09claimed that there is virtually no independent records confirming Andrew Dawson's existence under

21:15that name and date of birth. They found no easily discoverable employment history, educational records,

21:21criminal records, or birth certificate. Beyond his social media presence, they argued, there was little

21:27publicly verifiable information about him. Adding to the confusion, some online commenters claiming to

21:34be relatives described Andrew as a prankster and suggested that the giant footage might be a hoax,

21:39while still asserting that his death was genuine.

21:44But this is where the debate becomes particularly intriguing. If the videos were fabricated purely as a

21:50viral marketing stunt, what happened to the man who created them? Some say that people rarely abandon a

21:56successful viral campaign without explanation, while acknowledging that if Andrew had genuinely taken

22:01his own life, the lack of publicly available details about the cause of death would not be unusual.

22:08Of course, all these conflicting claims could just be conspiracy, and if Andrew was his real name,

22:14and he did genuinely take his own life, we should be respectful of that possibility. However, without

22:20clarification and reliable documentation, for now, the man who claimed he saw a giant, and then seemingly died or

22:27disappeared, is still shrouded in mystery.

22:30Thanks for watching, stay safe everyone, and I'll see you right back here tomorrow.
