--- There is an ancient legend among the Hindus of
'The lamas were very convincing about the
tunnels,' said R.C. 'Doc' Anderson, the Roseville, Georgia, psychic. 'The
Tibetan holy men frequently told me there were vast caves beneath North, South,
and Central America. They said these caves were connected through tunnels to
the surface world. Underground cities are supposed to be built in these vast
cavities inside the earth. These cavern people are an ancient race, possibly
the Atlanteans. The lamas asserted that these secret tunnels and cavern cities
are illuminated by an unusual green light (diffused through the luminescent
subterranean atmosphere itself - Branton) which is favorable to crops, long
life, and food health.'
Tibetans also told Doc Anderson that
Atlantis, the legendary continent, had a network of tunnels and passages
extending beneath the ocean in many directions. 'The tunnels were used by the
merchants of Atlantis to carry on their trade with other countries,' said Doc
Anderson. 'The lamas showed me a map of the underground passages leading from a
large island in the Atlantic ocean to Europe, Africa, South America, and
(North) America. I was informed that this map was extremely old and that no
other white man had ever seen it.'

--- (continuing from the same volume)... A similar legend of subterranean
tunnels of ancient construction, and an unknown origin, was brought to the
attention of early explorers in Martinique, in the West Indies. In his reports
on his explorations, Columbus revealed the West Indies claimed the island was
once the site of many vast cities. 'These ancient communities were connected by
tunnels that ran beneath the earth,' a West Indian informed Columbus. 'Our land
was once ruled by giant women warriors. They fought with a tribe of cannibals.
Whenever the cannibal men attacked, the women rushed down through the great
tunnels.' If their enemies stormed the tunnels, the women killed them with
arrows from their great bows.'..."

--- Pages 134-141 of Warren Smith's nook "THIS HOLLOW EARTH" carries
the following unusual story concerning reputed tunnel entrances connecting with
the sewers of Paris and an elevator shaft within an old building in the same
city:
"...In
the May, 1967, issue of the HOLLOW EARTH BULLETIN, we printed portions of 'The
Messerschmidt Manuscript.' A French woman, thought to have been killed,
returned to her home in the suburbs of Paris with a frightening tale of being
kidnaped and taken into the 'deros' lair. An edited version of her statement
follows:
'There are those who will claim I am
insane... They will testify that I am mentally ill and unable to remember those
weeks in the caves. In wish In could erase those memories from my mind. But,
the world MUST be warned. The monsters are down there. We must DESTROY them
before they kidnap more women for their horrible purpose...
'In was a young woman on nineteen years of
age in 1943, proud of my ability as a student, and eagerly looking forward to
marrying a young man who planned to be a physician.
'One night we planned to meet at my fiance's
office building, join another couple, and have dinner in a small café. We were
not worried about the Nazis. In arrived a few minutes late at my fiancé's
office building and the old man who ran the elevator had left for the day. In
decided to operate the lift for myself. In stepped inside to inspect the
controls.
'There were no symbols to indicate whether
the lift went up or down by moving the lever one way or another. Lighthearted
and in love, In decided that if In ran the elevator into the basement, In could
reverse the controls and go up to the other stories...
'In made an error and the elevator stopped
in a dark basement. In reversed the controls, but my hand slipped. I pushed on
the "down" control.
'The elevator suddenly plunged down below
the basement, falling through space as if the cable had broken. After a rapid
drop, perhaps several hundred feet, the elevator stopped with a sudden lurch. I
was so frightened as I fell onto the floor of the cage, sobbing and screaming.
'Through my terror-stricken mind, I heard a
loud, guttural noise on the other side of the elevator door. The elevator door
was torn open with a vicious slam and I saw the most horrible beast in the
world. The memory of that monster haunts my mind and, at night, I cannot sleep
without sedatives or sleeping pills...
'His face was a pale, whitish color. His
short, twisted body was covered with thick, bristly hair. His eyes? Piggish,
insensitive to any emotion, and gleaming with evil lust. The creature was fat,
almost bloated. There were terrible scars and running sores all over most of
his body. He had no neck, so his head was placed squarely atop his muscular
shoulders.
'The face was the most horrible portion of
his terrible features. It was much too large for his body, totally devoid of
hair. The skin was scarred ad wrinkled. His nose was fashioned more like a
snout. It was at least seven inches in length, a terrible thing hanging down
over his lipless mouth. His nose ended about the middle of his chest. He was
nude. His body looked as if he had never worn garments.
'A filthy, animal-smell filled the elevator.
Mercifully, In fainted into unconsciousness. In have never known what happened
in the elevator. Did they use that for an entry into the outside world? In have
thought about it and those elevator shafts may go down far into the earth at
certain points.
'When In recovered consciousness, In was
lying on the polished stone floor of an immense cavern. There were several
other women standing around in that dark corner and, as my eyes adjusted to the
dimness, In saw that we were caged into one corner of a large cave. A metal
gate, and bars, rose from the stone floor up to the ceiling. In suppressed an
impulse to scream, thinking this terrible nightmare would end in an instant.
'Across the way, the devil-men were fighting
over a carcase. It was some reptile-like animal which they hunted in the
caverns. In learned later that if these reptiles became scarce, they crept up
into Paris at night and captured human beings for their food. There were giant
hooks on the walls, quite sharp, where they hung the bodies to drain. They
collected the blood as a drink, fighting among themselves for the thick, red
drippings.
'There were about twenty women crowded into
the cave. Most of them were totally mad; insane creatures who had lost their
minds. They huddled in the cage, whimpering and crying. Others simply sat in
mute catatonic shock. They were like living robots, with their emotions and
human feelings destroyed by the horrible existence in the caverns.
'In stood up, looked around for my clothing,
which was gone. Trying to hide my nakedness, In walked to the front of the
cage. Despite my fear, In shouted across the room to the group of monstrous
beings. It was a moment of total unreality.
'"The police will be looking for
me," In said. "Release me, or I'll charge you with kidnaping."
My mind was like a taut string on a musical instrument, ready to sap at any
moment.
'The devil-man who had pulled me from the
elevator grinned wickedly through his lipless mouth. He lurched up from where
he had been gnawing on the carcass. In trembled with fear as he shuffled toward
me. In moved back into the cage.
He spoke in a guttural growl, almost grunts.
This was a signal and the other women in the
cage grabbed me. They pressed me against the bars of the cage. In passed once
again into unconsciousness an the devil-man placed a dirty, hairy palm on my
breast.
...In regained my senses once more that same
night. In remembered that seven or eight of the devil-men chased we round the
cavern. They tossed me back and forth between
each other, fondling my body, and - as they wished - carried me off into a
passageway for their amusement.
After that first night, nothing they could
do to me would kill the spirit of life within my body. I learned! Oh! How I
learned. I put my mind elsewhere when they pulled me from the cages. In survived and retained my sanity by living
in the past. When one of the lusting, evil monsters dragged me out of the cages
for his pleasure. I went into a catatonic state. I relived the happy years of
my childhood in my mind to retain my sanity. Or, I blanked out into
unconsciousness.
Most of the woman who had been captive for
some time were in horrible physical condition. They had picked up the various
infections and sores from the beasts. They had skin eruptions and bruises were
all over their bodies. Many had lost weight, due to the mental strain, and the
food. The men-beasts often forgot to feed us and, when they did, they threw a
large chunk of meat into the cage. I never knew if the meat was human, or
animal, and I became so hungry that I didn't care.
About once a week, perhaps more often
because time measurement was impossible in the caverns, we were given an
armload of damp, moldy weeds. We were allowed a small fire in the cages, for
cooking, and to ward off the dampness. We took these subterranean ferns,
mosses, and mushrooms, and brewed them into a stew. Once, we were given a dark, almost black, type of mushroom that produced
hallucinations.
In must have been a captive of these
terrible devil-men for two weeks, perhaps a month, when the gray (skinned) men
appeared from out of the tunnels. The devils scrambled in the opposite
direction, grunting with fright, as the gray men shot them with gas guns.
Several of the bestial men-animals were killed. Prisoners were released from
the cage, given a toga-like robe for clothing; and taken through the tunnels
for medical attention. They had a strange sort of vehicle, not like our
automobiles, that was parked in the tunnels.
A physician led us into a mobile laboratory.
The room had a large number of machines and, even under the lights, the metal was grayish in color. Everything was made
of this metal and even their clothing appeared to be metallic. In retained a
sense of where In was, but the leader of the group indicated to the doctor that
In should be treated.
They spoke perfect French, but with a
strange accent. 'Your mind is disturbed because of your experience,' said the
leader of the group. He was about five feet tall, muscular, with only his face
visible under the helmet of the same gray metal. His face was more elongated,
thinner, than those of the human beings In have met. It was gray in color,
almost like the cast of old baking dough.
We were taken individually into another
vehicle that looked like a combination hospital and computer room. Another man,
who seemed to be a physician, indicated In should lay back on a table made from
the same grayish metal. He also spoke French, indicating that the treatment
would not hurt me.
'You will feel no pain,' he said. 'We have
tried to erase memories from the mind but they are never totally gone. They
will come forth through dreams, nightmares and disguised thoughts. We are
attaching you to a machine that provides you with information on why you were
tortured by the animal men.'
'Can't you tell me,' I inquired.
'It would take many years of time, as you
measure it,' he replied. 'The machines implant information in your mind without
error. The data is not filtered through my mind, but remains purified.'
After the treatment, In was taken to another
section of the tunnels. Some of the men in metallic uniforms were sealing off
the tunnels. The leader designated a man to lead to back me the surface world,
and in another two hours, we were in the sewers of
WHAT
WAS THE MESSAGE GIVEN TO THE YOUNG WOMAN THROUGH THE MACHINE?
(In
ancient times...) as the human race continued to grow, some species were driven
underground to the caverns for their survival. They adapted themselves to the
life beneath the surface and, in time, they created the tunnels and cavern
cities. There were tremendous problems related to biological mutations and the
necessary evolution (i.e. 'adaptation') of the species to survive the
environment of the inner earth. In time, the original (underground) colonists
degenerated into the brutal, horrible animal men. In ancient times, these
degenerates preyed upon surface humanity through raids on outlying areas.
Ancient stories of strange appearances of unusual animals, werewolves, and
men-beasts are memories of battles between our ancestors and the animal men (of
the underground...)
Eventually, mankind developed weaponry to
defend themselves. The men-beasts were pushed back under the ground. They now
prowl only at night and they are careful to avoid detection by humans. The
wars, the atomic age, and evolution (i.e. 'mutation') of the animal-men, has
created the problem today. The animal-men are a great threat to human survival.
The animal-men have evolved into a deadly species, more crafty and extremely
cunning. The constant tests of nuclear weapons have destroyed, or cracked, many
of the great tunnels. Whole cavern cities have been wiped out by these tests.
The animal-men are growing stronger. They’ve become the heirs to advanced
weaponry, airships, and electro-magnetic weapons.
The animal men are on the march to conquer
the entire planet, including the surface world.
WHO
WERE THOSE IN THE METALLIC UNIFORMS?
They
are what we would call a biological team from the far reaches of space. During
a routine check of the earth, they learned of the mutations that had occurred
among the animal-men. They brought back their instruments and established
several ‘breeding stations,’ notably under the oceans and seas.
They plan to observe the war between the
animal-men and the armies of our surface nations.
WILL
THEY SAVE US FROM THESE DEMONIC CREATURES?
Our
salvation will come through our own efforts. The ‘starmen’ are observers of the
battle between the species on this planet. They have no plans to disturb the
functions of natural selection or committing their weaponry to either
species...
(Note:
These animal-men sound a lot like the 'De-ros' -- as in De-trimental, De-ranged,
De-generate, etc. -- spoken of by Richard Shaver during the mid-1900's -
Branton)
SHOULD
WE BELIEVE THIS STORY?
The
lady approached our representatives in
HOW
DOES HER STORY CHECK WITH THE SHAVER INFORMATION?
Shaver
stated that people on the surface evolved from the abandero. He reported our
ancestors were those ancient people who were unable to gain entry into the
caves. As they roamed the radiated surface of our world (solar 'radiations',
etc.), they were reduced to a species known as the Neanderthal man. Those who
did not die off eventually built up an immunity to the radiation rays of the sun.
As time progressed, humanity forgot about
the ancestral catastrophe except for the folklore about vanished civilizations
like Atlantis and Lermuria, and memory of a group known as the ‘Masters'...”
