Mum and daughter make mystery speakers find on ‘haunted’ Mount Shasta in California
A mother and daughter were horseback riding when they came across an eerie screeching sound straight out of a horror movie.
It sounds like something straight out of a horror movie — but a mother and daughter insist they stumbled across a mountainside covered in hundreds of mysterious speakers blasting eerie noises from the wilderness.
Karrie Ann Snure and her daughter Jordan were horseback riding through California’s infamous Mount Shasta on Tuesday when strange screeching sounds drew them off the trail.
What they found left them stunned.

“This is straight apocalyptic,” Ms Snure said in a video posted online.
“Someone is summoning. What is happening?”
The pair continued exploring and discovered more speakers scattered through the forest.
Some appeared to be playing little more than white noise, while isolated units broadcast what Ms Snure described as a sermon or mantra about salvation.
As daylight faded, they came across what appeared to be an entire field of speakers stretching across the mountainside.
“There are another hundred of them out there,” Ms Snure said as chilling screams echoed through the forest in another video.
“It’s like this Lemurian beacon system. I have no idea.”
The reference wasn’t random.
Mount Shasta has long been surrounded by bizarre legends claiming it hides the underground city of Telos, where descendants of the mythical lost civilisation of Lemuria supposedly live beneath the volcano.
For decades, the mountain has attracted believers in UFOs, extraterrestrials, hidden tunnels and spiritual energy, while local Indigenous tribes have traditionally regarded it as a sacred place where the Great Spirit descended to Earth.
Ms Snure later returned to investigate and used mapping software to confirm the speakers were on private land near California Government Lands.
“I still have absolutely no idea who put them there or why,” she wrote. “But at least now we know the mountain wasn’t trying to summon us.”
