They believe it contains a garage for UFOs and is the only place safe from the end of the world on Friday.

But now Doomsday followers have been blocked from reaching their 'mystical mountain' in the tiny French village of Bugarach.

Thousands of devotees have flocked to Bugarach praying that aliens will rescue them when the apocalypse comes. But Mayor Jean-Pierre Delord fears the sleepy village, which has a population of just 189, will be overrun with New Age fanatics who think aliens will whisk them to safety 'in another dimension' while the rest of the planet perishes.
