#61 --- In Eric-Norman’s book ‘THE UNDER-PEOPLE’, pp. 2O-22, he tells of a few Inner-Earth related stories. The first of which he quotes from Vol. 1, No. 6 of the NEWSLETTER FOR THE COMMITTEE FOR THE SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATION OF PSI., as reported by researcher Ronald Calais:

     "...Calais also related the experience of coal miners David Fellin and Henry Thorne. After their escape from a mine cave-in in Pennsylvania, the two men told of seeing a huge door illuminated by a blue light. The two miners claimed to have watched the door open and to have seen a group of men, dressed in "weird outfits," standing on a beautiful marble stairway.

     "...The possibility of another entrance into the subterranean world was discovered in Hammondsville, Ohio, in the spring of 1868. At a strip mine operated by Captain Edward Lacy, coal miner James Parsons was blasting a huge vein of coal out of the mountainside when his first explosion uncovered a large, smooth door. The slate-like structure was covered with unusual hieroglyphics.

     "’Hundreds of people have crowded into the pit to see the strange device,’ a reporter wrote shortly after the discovery. But, after a few days, the local residents lost interest in the discovery and mining continued on the property. Historical accounts indicate that the doorway was covered with earth from subsequent mining. It became just another of the mysterious links with a possible inner world, perhaps lost forever.”
