Summary

Fort McClellan is located in Anniston, Alabama at the foothills of the magical Appalachian Mountains. We've always found these mountains to harbor a supernatural energy and that seems to be the case here at the Fort, which closed in 1999. The Fort had a strong presence during World War II, training half a million troops and was home to the Women's Army Corps. Several people have died on the former base, including several foreign prisoners of war who are buried on the property, and ghost stories abound. Join us as we explore the history and hauntings of Fort McClellan! The Moment in Oddity features the Cave of the Crystals and This Month in History features Son of Sam arrested. Our location was suggested by Jules Schlosser.

1:08.6	Awesome and thank you so much for that assistance. And one of the reasons why she suggested
1:13.2	this location is because they actually lived on the base. So we have some of her experiences

2:08.3	were formed because there's an underground magma chamber below the cave that heated
2:12.0	water full of sulfide ions, then mixed with cooled, oxygenated water, chipped some crystals
2:17.4	formed, and then the temperature in the cave dropped. And over 500,000 years, these crystals
2:23.2	grew. The cave is a fairly recent discovery. Two brothers, Pedro and Juan Sanchez discovered
