    If anyone was interested in the two children who disappeared at the dam. In 1942 a 7 year old boy named Thomas Hoger had drowned while swimming at the damn. And in 1957 an 8 year old boy named Tommy Bowman had disappeared when he was hiking with his parents and wanted to run ahead to race them to the car.
    Such a spooky and eerie place for sure.

    I remember hearing about the gates of hell in Pasadena a long time ago when I was a kid but had forgotten about the stories. Now that I am much older and have helped design a number of dams and basins, I can look at this with renewed wonder from a design perspective. Very Cool Video!

    Michael, you win the Grimm biggest balls of year award. That was nuts. Would never have gone down those ladders alone, much less thinking that you had to climb up them to get out of there. Insane commitment. I wonder how many ghost hunters would have the nerve visist that tunnel...and spend the night there. Very creepy. Out did yourself on this one. Hope Jessica went easy on you.

    This video was insane! I would have never went down there especially alone. There was definitely someone standing there in front of you. You moved the camera and all of a sudden the view changed and the person wasnt there anymore. I noticed your tooth bleeding too. I kinda figured you just accidentally banged your tooth with your camera on the way down or on the bars on the stairs. That was a very narrow staircase. Yikes! Incredible video Mike. This was one of the best ones youve done. Im absolutely on the edge of my seat watching this video. Im terrified at times then just scared out of mind! Absolutely incredible video!!

    Major props for walking diwn tbat dark tunnel on your own. I don't think I would've been able to. Watching the video is giving me the heebie jeebies

    When you suggested folk do themselves a favour by checking out L Ron Hubbard, Jack Parsons and Aleister Crowley in the beginning, I couldn't help chuckling a bit. I mean, mon dieu, man, I went right down the Crowley mine shaft and spent about thirty years there. After a whole lot of OCD-related circling the drain that is the kabbalah, I finally discovered Ancient Greek and the Orphic vox and all that stuff, which took me back to the essentials, the Greek Magical Papyri (PGM), etc... and all the cool little narrative-busting facts documented by people who wrote in a way so sophisticated, it kind of makes English feel clumsy. It brought me back, restored my sanity... a bit. But I'm digressing. You telling people to read EVERYTHING they can find about any of those three guys, but Crowley specifically - I mean, Crowley wrote prolifically! The man is still widely considered to be the father of modern occultism. His work still comprises the canon of everything the Ordo Templi Orientis gets up to, and the whole field of chaos magic, the institutional study of which was begun by a crowd calling themselves the Illuminates of Thanateros, a big deal to post-1970-someting occultists, that whole thing is considered to be the "magical heir" of Crowley and another mad old bugger (but incredible artist) by the name of Austin Osman Spare (also known as Zos).
    A cool anecdote I picked up about L Ron and Jack Parsons - the two of them met, and having an interest in the occult, and particularly in sex magick al la Crowley in common, decided at some point to work together on a magickal operation (the magick with a "K" thing is a Crowley thing that he used to differentiate it from stage magic) to create a homunculus, which is like a magical being. Jack Parsons was a handsome guy with loads of smarts and a ferocious degree of curiosity, which I understand made his quite attractive to the ladies. He ended up falling hard for one. It was all fun and games for a while until L Ron took her and all the money Jack Parson's had invested into their project and disappeared.
    L Ron Hubbard really was a prick.
    Anyway, bottom line, check out everything you can about those three guys, particularly Crowley, big job. Good luck to all you who take up the challenge!

    Thanks, Michael. I have long wanted to know what was in there. Read a lot about Jack Parsons a few years ago. Definitely an "out there" kind of guy. The theories surrounding his death had me climbing down rabbit holes for a while.
