in the state of Ohio two brave men
0:02
discovered this strange mountaintop cave
0:04
entrance during a simple hike and climb
0:07
adventure it was sealed off tightly but
0:09
with clever thinking and some force they
0:12
managed to pry open the door which
0:13
concealed the darkness within and what

0:25
morning sun cast a warm golden glow over
0:28
the peaks as Brody and Mike paused to
0:31
catch their breath they were midway
0:33
through their planned hiking route which
0:35
led them to a steep mountainside cliff
0:38
it was a daring climb that would shun
0:40
away most climbers but Brody and Mike
0:42
stared upwards with confidence both
0:44
Brody and Mike were seasoned hikers used
0:47
to rugged terrain tricky clims and even
0:50
the occasional odd encounter with
0:51
wildlife that's why they knew they could
0:54
climb this beast off a cliffside but
0:56
they'd never expected to find anything
0:58
quite like this mike pointed up at the
1:00
steep cliff looming ahead of them it was
1:03
a tough climb but nothing they hadn't
1:05
prepared for brody grinned catching the
1:08
gleam of excitement in his friend's eyes
1:10
they began their ascent up the cliffside
1:13
digging their fingers into grooves and
1:15
gripping onto rocks one step at a time
1:18
the calm wind brushed against their
1:20
faces and they climbed in silence for a
1:23
while focused on finding steady holes
1:25
and keeping balance but it wasn't long
1:27
before Brody's attention was snagged by
1:30
something unusual about halfway up the
1:32
cliff he noticed a strange formation on
1:35
their right narrowing his eyes he leaned
1:37
closer squinting at what appeared to be
1:40
straight lines carved in the cliffside
1:42
too straight to be formed by anything in
1:44
nature hey Mike check this out." He
1:47
called motioning for his friend to come
1:49
over mike who was still focused on their
1:52
route upward glanced over a bit
1:55
impatient as Mike got closer he too
1:58
paused his eyebrows moving together in
2:00
confusion there on the cliff side were
2:03
strange perfectly straight lines that
2:06
looked as though they'd been
2:07
deliberately etched into the rock long
2:09
ago these carved edges didn't fit in
2:12
with the rest of the natural landscape
2:14
mike urged his friend to be careful but
2:16
Brody's interest was already peaked too
2:18
much he moved away from their planned
2:20
route and edged toward a narrow ledge on
2:23
which this bizarre frame stood mike and
2:25
Brody discovered a mysterious smooth
2:28
structure in the wilderness that
2:29
appeared out of place intrigued by its
2:31
precise unnatural lines they examined it
2:34
closely and concluded it was man-made
2:37
possibly resembling a doorway driven by
2:40
curiosity they decided to investigate
2:42
further and use their climbing gear to
2:44
create a lever system in an attempt to
2:47
open or move the structure recalling the
2:49
knot techniques he'd learned years ago
2:51
in Boy Scouts Brody created a steady
2:53
pulley system they hooked these ropes
2:56
onto the giant boulder using drill bits
2:58
which were normally used to secure
3:00
themselves to a steep cliffside and with
3:03
every part of the pulley system now
3:04
attached it only required muscle
3:07
strength to finish the job ready?" Brody
3:09
asked as his grip tightened around the
3:11
rope he had just fastened mike gave a
3:14
determined nod "let's do it." They
3:16
pulled together muscles straining and
3:18
hands gripping hard against the ropes
3:20
little by little the boulder started to
3:23
shift grinding against the rock with a
3:25
deep rumble with a final united heave
3:28
the massive stone tumbled backward
3:31
landing with a loud crash that vibrated
3:33
through the cliff a dark hole opened up
3:35
before them where the boulder had once
3:37
stood leading into the heart of the
3:39
cliffside the two friends looked at each
3:42
other eyes wide with excitement and just
3:44
a hint of caution "what do you think
3:46
could be in there?" Mike asked Brody
3:48
curiously "but both friends knew that
3:50
there was only one way to find out their
3:53
route upwards needed to be cancelled."
3:55
"A 5mile hike through the forest beyond
3:58
this cliffside wasn't even half as
4:00
exciting as wandering around a
4:01
mysterious hidden cave." Brody and Mike
4:04
had made up their minds they were ready
4:06
to explore this darkness but what they
4:09
would find inside was unlike anything
4:11
they could have ever expected their
4:13
discovery would push them toward a
4:15
direction nobody could have prepared
4:16
them for the two friends unclipped their
4:18
safety anchors from the cliffside and
4:21
illuminated their flashlights for the
4:22
journey ahead their first obstacle was a
4:25
long and dark tunnel the air inside this
4:28
structure was incredibly humid and after
4:30
walking just 30 ft they noticeably felt
4:33
the temperature plummet brody touched
4:35
the tunnel walls and felt his hands
4:38
dripping wet with moisture the low
4:40
temperature combined with the high
4:42
moisture content in the air explained
4:44
the dampness of these walls but what
4:47
added extra intrigue to this action was
4:49
that the fluids on Brody's hands smelled
4:52
horrible dude this smells like rotten
4:55
eggs Brody said with disgust mike stated
4:58
that the presence of sulfur in a tunnel
5:00
like this made sense these walls are
5:02
perfectly cut out which clearly
5:04
indicates that they are man-made and to
5:06
carve out a tunnel like this they would
5:08
have needed to use dynamite which
5:10
contains high levels of sulfur and
5:12
sulfur smells like rotten eggs mike's
5:15
explanation made sense but it also made
5:17
Brody nervous he got why tunnels needed
5:20
to be punched out with dynamite but what
5:22
if the explosions made this entire
5:24
mountain side unstable they were heading
5:26
deeper into a dark corridor with the
5:29
potential for collapsing rock all around
5:31
them the two men stopped for a moment to
5:33
think things over they were close enough
5:35
to the exit to abort their mission
5:37
instantly but curiosity about where this
5:39
tunnel led was still very much present
5:42
within the two men and then something
5:44
happened that catapulted their
5:46
discussion completely one way brody
5:49
looked at the outside light moving into
5:51
the tunnel behind them and was already
5:52
walking toward it when suddenly a loud
5:55
whining sound arose from deep within the
5:58
mountain you might think these two men
6:00
would have shot out of that tunnel
6:01
within seconds but you would be wrong if
6:04
you did besides the fear of the
6:06
structure collapsing in on top of them
6:08
there was nothing more they wanted than
6:09
to explore further brody and Mike were
6:12
adrenaline junkies and this sound easily
6:14
pushed them toward danger the two men
6:16
turned their bodies back toward the
6:18
darkness and started running toward it
6:20
the sound continued guiding Brody and
6:22
Mike deeper so that's what they did the
6:25
two men ran across the smooth surface
6:27
with the occasional damp puddle until
6:29
they witnessed a second proof of human
6:31
interaction tools were leaned up against
6:34
the walls here there were mostly shovels
6:36
and pickaxes brody picked one of them up
6:39
inspecting every part of it and that's
6:41
when he noticed something the shovel
6:43
blade was all rusted and corroded not to
6:46
mention that the shovel stood in a deep
6:48
huddle but the handle the wooden handle
6:51
looked almost brand new as if it had
6:53
been bought not more than a couple of
6:55
years ago brody and Mike speculated that
6:58
whoever dug this tunnel must have done
7:00
so years and years ago leaving this
7:03
mountain side abandoned for almost as
7:05
long but this changed thing what if
7:07
we're not alone in here right after
7:09
Brody spoke those words the sound passed
7:11
by their ears again and this time it
7:14
frightened them just that bit more the
7:17
high-pitched noise sounded closer this
7:19
time and its intonation varied more than
7:21
before "brody and Mike heard the
7:24
formation of words followed by cheerful
7:26
whistling." "It's coming our way hide,"
7:28
Brody whispered to his friend there was
7:31
no large boulder or corner to behind and
7:33
the exit was too far away to make a run
7:35
for it so Brody and Mike could only
7:37
stand against the opposite wall and push
7:40
themselves as flat as possible against
7:42
it their flashlights were turned off and
7:44
they held their breath while the
7:45
whistling grew closer the duo saw an
7:48
older man approach the tools and pick up
7:50
a shovel before turning back the old
7:52
man's light source a simple oil lantern
7:55
grew smaller in the distance and Brody
7:57
and Mike knew that they had to follow it
7:59
if they ever wanted to find out what was
8:01
going on in there the duo moved forward
8:04
using the lantern as a guide the duo
8:06
moved slowly trying to make as little
8:09
noise as possible they also could not
8:11
use their flashlights because that would
8:13
undoubtedly alarm the person they were
8:15
stalking so using his hands to graze the
8:18
tunnel walls Brody navigated the almost
8:20
pitch black darkness brody and Mike
8:23
crept forward following the faint glow
8:25
of the old man's lantern until they
8:27
reached a large open room the entire
8:30
cave was illuminated by lanterns the two
8:33
friends stayed low quickly ducking
8:35
behind a huge metal machine from their
8:37
hidden spot they peered at the old man
8:40
who was wielding a pickaxe he swung it
8:42
forcefully against the cave wall each
8:44
impact echoing through the chamber for
8:46
about 10 minutes he hacked steadily
8:49
pausing only to wipe his brow finally he
8:52
stopped breathing heavily and reached
8:54
into his jacket pocket mike's eyes
8:56
widened in disbelief when the old man
8:58
held up a gleaming rock "dude is that
9:01
gold?" he whispered leaning closer to
9:03
Brody brody quickly silenced him afraid
9:05
they'd be discovered but then the man
9:08
walked over to the machine they were
9:10
hiding behind a low hum and a rush of
9:13
heat startled them the machine they
9:15
leaned against roared to life and they
9:18
felt intense warmth radiating through
9:21
the metal unable to bear the heat they
9:23
cried out and jumped back clutching
9:25
their faces the machine turned out to be
9:28
a coal oven which had just been turned
9:30
on by the old man the boy's painful
9:32
shouts were like alarms in this hollow
9:34
cave system a mysterious old man reacted
9:37
aggressively when he heard Mike and
9:39
Brody initially confronting them with a
9:41
pickaxe and accusing them of trying to
9:43
steal something he called his sparkle
9:46
although suspicious Brody held up his
9:48
hands in surrender quickly explaining
9:50
how they'd stumbled upon the tunnel by
9:52
accident he eventually calmed down after
9:54
hearing their explanation and agreed to
9:57
lead them further into the tunnel as
9:59
they followed him through a narrow
10:00
passage he revealed that his name was
10:02
Bob and that he had been living in the
10:04
mountains for over 40 years bob
10:07
explained how he discovered gold back in
10:10
the 1980s and over the years had dug out
10:13
this entire tunnel system by hand and
10:16
explosive occasionally he'd leave to
10:18
hunt or repair his tools in a cabin
10:20
above ground but otherwise he stayed in
10:22
the mountain adding to his growing stash
10:25
of sparkle as he called it when they
10:27
entered a larger room Brody and Mike
10:29
were left speechless before them lay a
10:32
towering pile of gold nuggets sparkling
10:35
in the dim oil lamplight the sight was
10:38
surreal the glinting gold a sharp
10:40
contrast to the rough dark stone of the
10:43
cave walls mike's mouth dropped open
10:45
"this must be worth millions of
10:47
dollars," he whispered in awe bob nodded
10:50
a hint of pride on his face but Brody
10:52
noticed a tired look in Bob's eyes as
10:55
well as if the weight of all the gold
10:57
had worn him down instead of lifting him
10:59
up as Bob told them more the two friends
11:02
began to understand bob had become
11:04
obsessed with sparkle gathering more and
11:07
more gold each day but he never had a
11:09
plan for what to do with it and being
11:11
isolated for so long he'd lost any idea
11:14
of how to re-enter society or use his
11:17
fortune brody and Mike exchanged a
11:19
glance they felt sorry for Bob realizing
11:22
he was trapped not by the mountain but
11:24
by his own obsession gently they
11:27
suggested that he didn't have to keep
11:29
living like this there was a way out he
11:31
could enjoy the wealth he'd accumulated
11:33
all these years and they would even help
11:35
him bob seemed hesitant but Brody and
11:38
Mike spoke with patience and kindness
11:40
convincing him that he deserved more
11:42
than just a life of digging in darkness
11:45
they assured him that his gold could
11:47
give him a better life one where he
11:49
could rest and be free from the lonely
11:51
tunnel finally Bob agreed though
11:54
uncertainty was written across his face
11:56
with Brody and Mike's help he hauled the
11:59
gold out of the mountain piece by piece
12:02
the three worked tirelessly determined
12:04
to help Bob start a new chapter in his
12:07
life slowly the piles of gold
12:09
transformed into a future for him after
12:12
weeks of negotiating and transporting
12:14
the gold to a nearby city they found a
12:16
reputable buyer bob watched in disbelief
12:19
as the sale went through the final total
12:21
a staggering 23,823,900
12:27
for the first time he grasped just how
12:30
much he'd accumulated over the years in
12:32
that mountain a few months later Bob
12:34
took his first vacation for the first
12:36
time in over four decades he wasn't
12:38
waking up to the cold stone of the
12:40
tunnel instead he basked in the sun
12:43
feeling warmth that wasn't from the old
12:45
coal oven but from a life filled with
12:47
freedom and choices brody and Mike
12:49
stayed in touch with Bob who despite his
12:52
newfound wealth chose a quiet life in a
12:54
cute village in the countryside grateful
12:56
for their friendship he frequently
12:58
thanked them for giving him a second
13:00
chance the two friends knew they'd
13:02
helped Bob in more ways than just
13:04
carrying gold from the mountain looking
13:07
back Brody and Mike often laughed at
13:09
their adventure in the mountains they
13:11
were grateful for the unexpected lesson
13:13
they'd learned about friendship freedom
13:15
and what really mattered in life it's
13:18
