In other words, if Nessie is real, she’s apparently become a little less camera-shy.

Just days after hundreds of solar-powered speakers were discovered blasting eerie screams, static, and sermon-like messages across a hillside near Mount Shasta, the mystery appears to have been solved.

When heard together, the speakers created a chaotic mixture resembling static, screaming, and electronic noise. Listening to individual speakers revealed something even stranger: some appeared to be playing spoken recordings, including what sounded like a sermon and a repeating voice in which the word “salvation” could reportedly be heard.
