Is this like a newer version of Ted the Caver?

That was the first thing that came to mind, except that was a fictional story (and well written!) whereas this has actual news reports and such proving it actually happened (the disappearance, not the vibrating cave)

Hiya,

In my opinion. Just because it's been reported on the news, doesn't make something any less fictional, or more factual.

Why couldn't this be a story akin to Ted the Caver? Guy finds mysterious cave and then later dissapears. The basics are the same, but the medium is different.

Carter escapes his holding cell, but is pursued by Powell and his cavalry. After a run-in with a band of Apaches, Carter and a wounded Powell are chased until they take to hiding in a cave that turns out to be the object of Carter's earlier searching, the "Spider Cave of Gold". A mysterious being, called a Thern, appears in the cave at that moment; Carter kills him but accidentally activates the Thern's powerful medallion, and is unwittingly transported to a ruined and dying planet, Barsoom (Mars). Because of his different bone density and the planet's low gravity, Carter is able to jump high and perform feats of incredible strength. He is captured by the Green Martian clan, the Tharks and their Jeddak (chieftain) Tars Tarkas (Willem Dafoe). Tars instructs Sola (Samantha Morton) to watch over Carter which results in her feeding him a liquid that enables him to understand the Martian language.

I just saw that a month ago here in 2019.

And this whole M shaped cave...he said he got the hell out at some point...how does he know what the shape is if he didn't go through the whole thing?

The entrance to the cave was supposed to be M-shaped.
