A teenage camper recently shared a chilling experience during a spelunking trip in Alberta, Canada—a moment that has sparked conversation among cryptid enthusiasts and paranormal communities.
According to the report featured on Phantoms and Monsters (June 1, 2025), the teen was part of a youth camp exploring local cave systems. After veering off the usual trail, the group discovered a narrow, seldom-touched cave. The tight opening was only about one meter wide, and the skinniest of the team—this young explorer—was chosen to go in first.
Crawling through the narrow tunnel with barely enough room to move his arms, the teen made his way roughly three meters into the cave before reaching a sharp left turn. There, at the tunnel’s dead end, he noticed a strange pile of sticks and leaves. Curious, he reached out—only to realize he was holding what appeared to be a human bone.
Just then, an ear-piercing scream erupted from outside the cave, and in the panic to retreat, the teen struck his head, knocking out the headlamp. That’s when things got truly disturbing.
In the pitch-black silence, the teen reported seeing two glowing eyes staring directly into his face—an image seared into his memory. Before he could react, unseen hands grabbed his ankles and yanked him back out of the hole. Both he and the adult leader who assisted in pulling him out refused to speak of what exactly they saw.
While the identity of the glowing-eyed entity remains a mystery, the eerie encounter adds to a growing list of unexplained cave phenomena in remote regions of Canada.
For those interested in cryptids and the paranormal, this firsthand account is a stark reminder that sometimes, it’s not just darkness that lurks beneath the earth’s surface.
