1800s – ONGOING

There has long been tales of strangeness surrounding Mount Konocti, the most notable being similar to its more famous Northern cousin, Mt Shasta: stories of a cave system below it where spirits are said to live. There are legends of seeing lights & even physical flying craft coming out of the mountain, and it is said that the local Pomo tribe used to leave offerings in the caves, which historically were more accessible prior to a landslide. The existence of the caves is actually documented by geologists, and there are some who have tried to map the cave system, but without success due to rock falls closing off some of the tunnels.
