The dugout near the top of Poncha Pass

Colorado · United States · Mine

An old dugout cabin beside a small gold mine, surrounded by a corral, on land held by the Scouts for their Rocky Mountain base.

Near the top of Poncha Pass in Colorado, on a small tract of land owned by the Boy Scouts for their Rocky Mountain High Adventure Base, stands an old dugout cabin. There is a small gold mine beside it and an old corral around it.

Adults and scouts alike have reported, on a number of separate occasions, hearing moaning and low muttering coming directly out of the dugout late at night.

A dugout is a shelter cut into the hillside rather than built on it, which is how people wintered at this altitude before there was anything else, and it means the sound is coming out of the ground.

The witnesses here are worth noting: a summer camp cycles through a new set of them every year, and the reports have kept coming from groups who did not know each other.
