Who dug it—and what were they searching for beneath one of North America’s most myth-soaked mountains? Richard Syrett speaks with filmmaker Elijah Sullivan about his haunting documentary The Hole Story, a journey from physical mystery to high strangeness, where UFO lore, hidden civilizations, and obsession collide deep inside Shasta’s shadow. GUEST: Elijah Sullivan is a filmmaker, writer, and director whose work explores the intersection of folklore, mystery, and the psychology of belief. Raised near Mount Shasta, he brings a deeply personal lens to The Hole Story, a documentary investigating a strange hand-dug cavern on the mountain’s slopes. Sullivan’s storytelling blends investigative curiosity with atmospheric filmmaking, probing how real places become epicenters of myth, obsession, and unexplained phenomena.
