One account concerning ‘the underground’ appeared in an early issue of CAVEAT EMPTOR magazine (P.O. Box 4553., Metuchen, NJ 08820-4533), and spoke of a physical encounter with a subterranean race HUMANS. The account was related by an individual whose girlfriend, ‘Laressa‘, had phoned him one night. She was quite shaken up and in tears, and told him that a friend of hers at school had invited her to go for a ride with her out into the countryside.

This girlfriend was somewhat strange, and a loner and would often disappear and be away from school for days or even weeks at a time. As they were driving through the countryside, according to ‘Laressa‘, this girl drove her car right towards a hill and before she knew what was happening the hill opened up into an underground ‘road‘ and they eventually found themselves right in the middle of an underground city. She went on to say that the city was inhabited by the ‘D-Forces‘, a human group who used the symbol of a ‘wolf‘ (on jewelry, etc.), and who were in conflict with another human group called the ‘T-Forces‘. Both, she learned, possessed ‘UFO‘ type craft, and the T-Forces were less powerful but were growing stronger day by day.

Could this somehow tie-in with Richard Shaver’s scenario of an underground battle with ‘Deros‘ and ‘Teros‘? The only difference would be that Shaver’s ‘Teros‘ were basically friendly people and his ‘Deros‘ seemed to be a conglomeration of degenerate human techno-sorcerers whose minds and bodies have been affected by long-term exposure to radiation, who seemed to be in league with a ‘race‘ power-hungry Atlantean androids that had gone out-of-control thousands of years ago AND what Shaver refers to as the “vermin from space“, a race of reptilian hominoids that are returning to planet earth to reclaim what they allege to be their native planet.

Theodore Illion, in his book ‘DARKNESS OVER TIBET’, told of the inhabitants of an underground city beneath Tibet, a city which the author himself claimed to have stumbled on during his extensive travels through the Far East. This underground community was allegedly ruled over by a powerful sorcerer who was part of international secret society. This overlord kept the inhabitants of the underground city, many of whom were people who had ‘disappeared‘ from the world above, under complete mind control to the point that they lacked any personality — their eyes were reported by Illion as being vacant and empty, and their lives emotionless and drone-like, much like an ant colony. Or in other words, they acted much like certain of the ‘MIB‘-like beings who have been encountered by UFO witnesses.

This sorcerer was allegedly in contact with an infernal (reptilian?) race via a ‘bottomless shaft’ which descended through the city itself. When Ted Illion asked the sorcerer-overlord where the shaft led, he was told that if he found out he would die: “…there are such secrets.” Illion claimed that he barely escaped the hypnotic hold of the sorcerer and fled the city, and after surviving a series of terrifying poltergeist and psychic attacks directed at him by the sorcerer, he finally found his way back to civilization and safe?

At this point we will quote from one of the many sources describing encounters with what may very well be a remnant of an antediluvian ‘tunnel’ network that the Atlanteans or their contemporaries had constructed before the deluge. The following account was given in a letter which was submitted to AMAZING STORIES (which described itself as a science fiction/science fact magazine), Dec. 1946 issue, p. 162. The letter was from a George A. Lehew of (at the time) 1918 W. Newport Ave., Chicago, ILL. Lehew wrote:

“Sirs… I have been a reader of AMAZING STORIES for a very long time… I too, know of one of these entrances into the world below. It is about fifty miles south of Pittsburgh, Pa., in the first range of the Allegheny Mountains. My experiment with the caves have been only partial explorations, consisting of traveling about a mile and a quarter down into the cave itself, and returning.

The cave IS VENTILATED from below and stays at a constant 50 degrees no matter what the outside temperature may be. It is a series of rooms or galleries with narrow passages from one to another. In about the sixth room down, there is a large tree trunk which could not have come from the surface as the stratosphere (sic: ‘strata-sphere’? – Branton) is almost completely free from local fault; and it could never have come DOWN through the openings in the cave itself as they were small at the top, and kept getting progressively larger as they got deeper.

“I traveled down as long as I could find comparatively easy travel — about 45-degree descent all the way — and finally came to what I thought must be the end of the cave, for I could see no more openings into rooms, but on closer examination found instead a bore, about six feet across, straight down into solid rock. I turned my flash downward and could see that it must have gone straight down for at least a hundred feet, the sides were perfectly smooth, and the shaft, or bore, in a perfect round — no apparent irregularities anywhere — I had no way of descending any further, so I retraced my steps back up through the different rooms to the top of the mountain where the cave opens into this world.

I made discreet inquiries of several old-timers in that region and found that in 1915, or about that year, six surveyors took gear and equipment, and spent a month in the exploration of the cave, going 18 miles from the entrance, and down almost five miles below sea level. I have never gone back, but I hope to someday in the future, with an escort, equipment, and supplies. I’d certainly love to see the machine that made that bore!

If you have any information on other caves in that area, let me know — they too may tie in with this one, though if they do, their connections are very deep. Also, if you can, please describe the equipment that made that vertical shaft. Oh, yes, one more interesting item — the surveyors in their exploration of the cave, distinctly heard the rumble of MACHINERY — but their calculations proved they were nowhere near a large city (surface), and they were too deep for surface noises otherwise. What is the answer?”

Another account also dealing with subsurface phenomena and ‘creatures‘ appeared in the June 1945 issue of AMAZING STORIES, in a letter submitted to that magazine by Jerry LaPriore (at the time) of 2024 Pleasant St., Fall River, Mass. The letter stated:
