It is worth mentioning that Shasta is also associated with modern stories of the Lemurians, the supposed inhabitants of the underground city of “Telos”, forebears who are believed to have survived the demise of the ancient continent and settled in the depths beneath the mountain.
This place is also famous for both stories and legends of encounters with aliens and inhabitants of the otherworld. The diversity of beliefs and theories associated with Mount Shasta reflects not only its natural beauty, but also the multifaceted “spiritual landscape” that attracts people of different beliefs.
