MAJOR MALFUNCTION During Crucial Excavation | The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch (Season 2) | History

That Brandon, the ranch owner, has given permission for us to conduct shallow digs when we find evidence of anomalies. So, I think we need to take that step next and see what we find. Are we ready to do this? Let’s dig now.

As we conduct our shallow dig for more scientific evidence of what could be buried in the triangle area, we’re going to be very cautious since we already had a strange experience this year when we dug up the pit at Homestead 2.

You guys should take a look at Caleb’s phone. I don’t have any control over it. It just goes right past my passcode. Something strange happened to Caleb’s phone, like it was being hacked. Something here is crying out for help, or is it giving us a warning?

You know, I’m a scientist. Things have reasons for happening, but so many strange things happen here that I can’t explain.

Alright, you start feeling anything funny, let each other know, okay? Yep, got it, thank you.

Alright, Tomas, while Thomas digs with the mini excavator, Dragon and Caleb will be sifting through the spoils for anything metallic that might explain why the soil here is so conductive.

Now, Eric and I will be monitoring our spectrum analyzer, our gamma-ray detector, the lightning strike meter, and we’ll use a metal detector to see if anything else happens as we disturb the ground.

No, there’s something right here—next scoop. It’s weird, Eric, look. Nothing’s happening before, it’s going nuts.

Okay, I say keep on digging.

Yeah, then come back here and see if we get the same reading.

Oh, what? What the— I don’t understand what could be making the metal detector register strong hits and then nothing.

Once again, it’s a transient anomaly that is occurring.

What the heck?! Holy smokes, what’s going on with it?

So now, since people warn against digging, could these readings be because of that? Or is there something here underground causing it?

What was a lot stronger this time. I didn’t even have to make it all the way to the ground before it went off.

What the heck? Right, I’m a foot from the ground now. I’m not making it all the way to the bottom, but when I come up, I have a hole.

Okay, that’s weird, man. The deeper we dug there, the stronger the signal was getting on the metal detector, but we found no metal object at all in the spoils.

At that point, so it made me think we must be getting closer and closer to a really large metal object or structure.

Do you hear the gamma rays just go off? There it goes again, yeah. 24 micrograms per hour.

What does that mean?

Well, what we’re seeing is more than double the normal background level.

Now it’s just like wigged out. It’s malfunctioning. What’s going on?

What in the world? It’s detecting everywhere. There’s something about this hole.

Well, is it me, or is this almost like we’re triggering something?

Yeah, what the crap? Look, there’s nothing now. This thing was going crazy a minute ago.

Something weird just happened here. Could be natural or unnatural. I don’t know what’s charging it. Is this whole ranch a big generator?

Well, we’ve heard how many stories about the possibilities of something underneath the ground, whether it be caverns, a base. So, who’s to say it couldn’t be something even more crazy?

We’ve heard stories of individuals going into these deep caves or caverns, and we’ve even heard crazy stories about these openings that lead to some sort of an underground base.

We need to be careful of that and definitely study this area more.

Yeah, the really exotic explanation is there’s something under the ground here that’s either using this or causing this. We just got to keep going deeper because it’s certainly not at eight-foot deep.

We’ve now gone as deep as we can with this mini excavator, so whatever’s here is deeper than we can actually reach today.

I think what we need to do next is to conduct a deeper magnetometry scan of this area to figure out just what’s causing these energy spikes and if it really could be a structure or a flooded tunnel system like James Keenan told us.

I don’t know that we are any less confused, but you know, it definitely hammers home the point that we have to study this area way more.

Yep. Alright, well, let’s pack it up and get out of here.
