- Another account 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:
-
- "You asked for stories that might relate to... the caves.
- My mother was told this story by an old man who said it was true
- as truth itself: This man and a friend were hunting, agreeing
- this time to go to a portion of the wood's to which they did not
- normally go. They saw a deer and gave chase. It jumped through
- a clump of bushes and they followed--to find themselves
- unaccountably in the strangest surroundings. They were in a huge
- cavern that had numerous passageways leading from it. Before
- them was a monster-like man they thought was the Devil himself.
- The monster stared, and the two men stared back. One of them
- fainted from fear, and the man who told my mother the story
- dragged the other away in panic, and as he did so, found himself
- just as mysteriously in the forest again. The old man's friend
- died a week later as a result of the shock he had suffered. The
- old man tried later to find the cave again, but failed. I know
- this story is true because my mother does not tell fairy tales
- and because she believes it."
-
- The previous letters appeared in the wake of the so-called
- "Shaver Mystery" which occupied the pages of AMAZING STORIES
- Magazine throughout the years 1945-1950. The "mystery" was based
- on the writings of a welder by the name of Richard S. Shaver, who
- had written several admittedly science fact-fiction stories after
- his initial manuscript A WARNING TO FUTURE MAN (which was re-
- written into "science fiction" format by A.S. editor Ray Palmer)
- originally appeared in AMAZING STORIES. These stories dealt with
- an underground world inhabited by human-like people called
- "Tero's" and their mortal enemies - grotesque, inhuman creatures
- called "Dero's". Both of these "races" allegedly had access to
- ancient "recovered" technologies including a machine which
- supposedly projected encephalographic thought-waves via rays
- electronically over long distances. Richard Shaver claimed to
- have visited this subterranean realm only once physically -
- entering via row-boat through a shore-side cave hidden in a bay
- somewhere east of Washington D.C. Incidentally, as we've
- indicated elsewhere, there are accounts which allege that an
- entire system of ancient "Atlantean" tunnels with extremely hard,
- glazed linings have been discovered beneath the D.C. area, and
- that these ultimately lead to an ancient "Atlantean" subterranean
- complex which some say was in ancient times, and is still now,
- known as "NOD" - could this be a reference to the descendants of
- Cain? - see: Gen. 4:13-16 and also the book "WEIRD AMERICA", by
- Jim Branden., (E.P. Dutton & Co., N.Y. 1978). Shaver claims
- that while visiting his "Tero" friends in their underground city
- they were suddenly and without warning attacked by a group of
- several "Dero" who wielded beam-like weapons, yet Shaver himself
- for reasons unknown was spared. After the attackers left,
- and after he realized that all of his "friends" in the
- underground city were dead, Shaver allegedly then left the
- subterranean realm the way he came and never physically returned.
- This was the only physical and tangible encounter Shaver claimed
- to have had.
-
- After this, he says, the "inspiration" for his stories came
- in the form of messages received from these "thought-projection"
- machines. His stories, however, became much more confused and
- occult after this, and even anti-Christian in nature. Although
- we certainly do not doubt Shaver's former sincerity (he passed
- away in the mid-1970's) nor his intentions, from various
- indications we must make the definite conclusion that the
- "voices" which he heard thereafter did not originate from the
- "tero's" utilizing thought-projection machines but actually from
- sources far more infernal, and perhaps reptilian, in nature -
- which were in fact masquerading as "Tero's". In other words -
- not denying Shaver's original encounter - the powers of darkness,
- we believe, began manipulating Shaver in order to spread
- confusion and disinformation about this underground realm and
- it's inhabitants, the reality of which (if we are to believe
- certain sources referred to earlier in these reports) was
- beginning to become known by certain groups on the surface such
- as secret societies, deep-level government agencies, and people
- such as George A. Lehew, Jerry LaPriore, and hundreds of others
- who were having physical encounters or knew of physical
- encounters with the outskirts of this "nether" world. Could this
- have been the reason that "they" spared Shaver? Is it possible
- that they cunningly intended to use someone to spread false
- information about the subterranean regions when in fact that
- person actually believed in the "information" he was receiving?
-
- We in all fairness must state that Shaver accuses RAYMOND A.
- PALMER of taking his writings such as the original "A WARNING TO
- FUTURE MAN" (describing an imminent invasion of the surface by a
- malevolent subterranean race) and "rewriting" it in the form of
- the novelette "I REMEMBER LEMURIA". Shaver alleges that Palmer
- took his writings and expanded them into a science-fiction-occult
- format so that the original essay would be acceptable to his
- science-fiction audience and gain wider exposure. If this was
- the case then Palmer and Shaver's plan may have backfired since
- many mis-led souls, aware of the basic truths of the cavern
- world, began flocking to AMAZING STORIES, believing every word of
- Shaver's re-written stories. Even though Shaver was apparently
- convinced that the stories he received via mental projection or
- the so-called "thought-machines" were true, they nevertheless
- contained many occult, confused and contradictory ideas even
- before he sent them on to Palmer. However Palmer must also be
- implicated in this if Shaver is correct in his allegations that
- Palmer "occultized" his writings even more, and that Palmer also
- added the idea that the stories were based on "racial memories",
- among several other alterations. Perhaps Palmer was the one most
- responsible for squandering what might have potentially been a
- singular opportunity to educate the masses about the underground
- realm and the activities taking place there, and the affect some
- of that activity had upon the every-day lives of surface
- humanity. How much of the present travesty taking place in the
- government-alien scenario might have been avoided if the
- uncorrupted TRUTH were known in the 1940's when the "Shaver
- Mystery" was hitting the news-stands and molding the thinking
- of literally tens of thousands of AMAZING STORIES readers? The
- very methods used by Shaver and Palmer to "warn" the human race
- about this subject to some extent did just the opposite and
- brought ridicule on the whole field of "paraspeleological"
- research. Many of Palmer's obviously fictionalized and
- implausible "additions" to Shaver's writings, originally intended
- to make the subject "palatable" to the mass readership, may have
- in fact had an adverse affect.
-
- If then Shaver was being used as an unwitting
- "disinformation agent", then why would these powers of darkness -
- the serpent races and their demonic allies - wish to hide the
- truth concerning, if not the very existence of, such a nether
- region from surface society? We believe that the reasons are
- obvious. Although not all, much of this nether "world" is being
- used by the "infernals" as a base of operations in their ages-old
- "Cosmic Conspiracy" or conflict with the Creator and the souls-
- conscience of mankind. The less we on the surface know about
- their existence and activities, the better it will be for their
- hellish cause. Shaver and Palmer as we said may have been
- unknowing pawns who were being used to not only spread
- disinformation but also to bring others under the supernatural
- influence of these dark powers by encouraging the readers to
- attempt to establish "thought-contact" with these underground
- races by means which have in the past been attributed to
- witchcraft and the occult. Many of the researchers involved in
- compiling these files personally know of several people who have
- had their lives all but destroyed by taking "their" advice and,
- via occult methods, have attempted to contact these underworld
- beings via psychic or telepathic means. And after having done so
- have become oppressed, tormented or even possessed by beings who
- are absolutely malignant in nature and insensitive to humanities
- welfare. Also, mental illness, schizophrenia, and even suicide
- is not unheard of among those who have decided through occult
- or witchcraft-related means to open up their spirits to any or
- all paraphysical beings which may be inhabiting the ether around
- them, in hopes of tapping-in to some benevolent subterranean
- beings' thought-beam.
-
- We will state here that if anyone is seeking to make their
- life easier by joining up with an advanced race of technological
- beings, whether subterrestrial or extraterrestrial, they will be
- disappointed, as there is no single place in the universe outside
- of Eternal Paradise itself where one will be completely free from
- the relentless attacks of the powers of darkness and their
- insatiable attempts to devour life and vitality wherever they may
- find it. This is something any society has to deal with, no
- matter how technologically sophisticated they may be. Physical
- technology cannot solve non-physical or spiritual problems.
- Palmer's deeply occult philosophies are evidenced by the fact
- that he went on to create FATE and SEARCH magazine(s) which,
- although occasionally providing some useful information,
- nevertheless propounded the "virtues" of witchcraft, spiritism
- and the occult. Our Creator was not being insensitively strict
- when He warned us to stay away from dealings with the occult or
- the supernatural outside of his protection. He gave this command
- for our own good, so that we would not end up as the degenerate
- spiritual slaves to infernal creatures that are ever seeking to
- gain control of our spiritual nature. In Deuteronomy chapter 18:
- vs. 10-11 we read:
-
- "There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his
- son or his daughter to pass through the fire (child or human
- sacrifice), or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or
- an enchanter, or a witch.
-
- "Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a
- wizard, or a necromancer."
-
- In spite of the Shaver - Palmer controversy, there actually
- have been other accounts which have described alleged PHYSICAL
- encounters with the underground realm, as well as with beings
- known as the "dero" and the "tero". It is uncertain whether
- Shaver intended to describe the "dero" as a runaway race of
- antediluvian, perhaps infernally controlled, self-perpetuating
- androids; or as non-human reptilian beings; or as a race of mind-
- controlled human sorcerers. All three groups have apparently
- come under the term "dero" in Shaver's stories (and the accounts
- concerning them which have been related by others), possibly due
- to the confusion resulting from the source from which Shaver
- received many of his alleged "revelations" as well as Palmer's
- own occult and science-fictionalized installments. Perhaps the
- term "dero" was meant to denote a more general de-generate state
- of being, rather than a particular entity!?
-
- One account, for instance, which appeared in an early issue
- of CAVEAT EMPTOR magazine (P.O. Box 4553., Metuchen, NJ 08820-
- 4533), concerned a physical encounter with a HUMAN subterranean
- race. The account was related by an individual whose girlfriend
- 'Laressa' 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
- girl friend 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 in the countryside, according to
- 'Laressa', this girl drove the 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 used 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. This might tie-in
- with Shaver's "Dero's" and "Tero's".
-
- Several years ago a man by the name of Steve Brodie claimed
- to have been abducted into an underground base in Arizona and
- later found himself walking the streets of New York City six
- months later with little or no memory of where he had been.
- Brodie told his story to researcher John J. Robinson, who related
- it on Long John Nebel's W.O.R. radio show in New York City.
- Before Brodie mysteriously disappeared again he had told Robinson
- that he had the feeling he was 'being watched'. His only
- recollection of the abduction was of being in a dungeon-like
- cavern in a cage-like enclosure with other humans who had told
- him that their captors (who wore dark, hooded capes) were known
- as the 'dero'. This name comes up again and again, but whether
- it refers to sorcerers, sauroids or synthetic beings is any ones
- guess. Perhaps as we've suggested all three are involved!?
- There have nevertheless been reports of 'possible' reptilian
- hominoids posing as human-like beings, such as the 'alien'
- described on p. 109 of John Keel's book 'THE MOTHMAN PROPHECIES':
-
- "I am an amateur herpetologist and once kept three-fanged
- cobras in my New York apartment... until my concerned neighbors
- squealed to the Board of Health. SOME OF THE DESCRIPTIONS OF THE
- ENTITIES IMPRESSED ME AS RESEMBLING SOME KIND OF REPTILE RATHER
- THAN HUMAN MAMMALS. I didn't mention the reptile notion to
- anyone. But on July 24, Lia (an alleged alien tied-in with the
- Men In Black) visited Jane (a contactee) and refused to talk
- about anything but eggs. She took some eggs from Jane's
- refrigerator and sucked out the contents like a reptile! Jane
- was perplexed by this exhibition and called me soon afterward."
- And on pp. 176-177 of Signet's 1975 paperback edition of
- 'MOTHMEN', in reference to this same 'contactee' Keel states:
- "...Meanwhile, Jane's phantom friends were visiting her daily and
- helpfully giving her surprising information about my own 'secret'
- investigations. My interview with the Christiansens of Cape May,
- and the details of their pill-popping visitor, Tiny, was then
- known only to a few trusted people like Ivan Sanderson. But on
- June 12, Mr. Apol and his friends (the being that called itself
- 'Lia', referred to above, apparently being from this same group -
- Branton) visited Jane when she was alone in her house and asked
- for water so they could take some pills. Then they presented her
- with three of the same pills, told her to take one at that
- moment, and to take one other in two days. The third pill, they
- said, was for her to analyze to assure herself it was harmless.
- They undoubtedly knew she would turn it over to me. Two hours
- after she took the first pill she came down with a blinding
- headache, her eyes became bloodshot, and her vision in her right
- eye was affected. When her parents came home they expressed
- concern because her eyes were glassy and her right eye seemed to
- have a cast. The sample pill proved to be a SULFA DRUG normally
- prescribed for infections of the urinary tract..." The possible
- significance of the "Sulfa" drugs will become apparent later on
- in these 'Files'.
-
- Theodore Illion, in his book 'DARKNESS OVER TIBET', the
- inhabitants of an underground city beneath Tibet which the author
- claimed to have stumbled on. This underground community was
- allegedly ruled over by a powerful sorcerer who was part of an
- international secret society and who kept the inhabitants, 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 vacant and empty, and their lives
- were emotionless and drone-like, much like an ant colony. Or in
- other words, much like certain '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. Keep in mind the
- 'drone-like' aspect of certain people tied-in with alien
- activity, as it is a common threat than can be found in other
- caves involving UFO's, Conspiracies and Caverns.
-
- These two accounts (Illion's and especially "Laressa's"
- account as given in CAVEAT EMPTOR) tend to confirm that two
- opposing (?) beliefs somewhat similar to the conflict between
- socialism on the left and fascism on the right, have caused a
- great deal of conflict between many HUMAN inhabitants of these
- nether regions. When we consider that socialism and fascism are
- apparently being manipulated by the same source, i.e. the
- Illuminati (which in turn as we've seen is ultimately controlled
- by the serpent race) in order to turn humanity against itself so
- they can more readily be kept under subjection and control; then
- is it possible that a similar scenario is taking place in human
- civilizations beneath the surface of this planet? There is
- evidence that the Illuminati is not only aware of the existence
- of these subsurface communities (for instance the subterranean
- connection apparently existing beneath the Masonic U.S.
- headquarters of the 33rd degree of the Scottish Rite located in
- the "House of the Temple" within Washington D.C.) but is
- intricately involved in manipulating it's affairs as it has done
- in surface society. So we see how it may be possible that the
- entire planet, whether surface or subsurface societies, may be
- subject to Reptilian - serpent cult - Illuminati manipulation via
- the Jesuit-Rosicrucian-Masonic movements.
-
- The CAVEAT EMPTOR account, as well as many others which have
- been gathered by various writers, seems to indicate that these
- two "factions" which largely exist among the subterranean
- civilizations are known as the T-Forces (Tero's) and the D-Forces
- (Dero's). Each of these apparently "worship" either the positive
- or negative aspects of the electromagnetic "force", possibly
- similar to the so-called "light side" and the "dark side" of the
- "force" as depicted in the STAR WARS series. We realize that
- this concept may sound rather strange to us on the surface, but
- when we realize that intense electromagnetic currents may exist
- deep beneath the earth then it is entirely possible that any
- human civilization which might inhabit those regions may attempt
- to utilize this energy source to the point of utter dependence.
- If this is the case, then both of these groups would not be
- worshipping "God" in the Judeo-Christian sense, but rather a form
- of pantheistic nature-worship, the worship of CREATED FORCES
- RATHER THAN THE ONE WHO CREATED THOSE FORCES. This is not to say
- that ALL who inhabit these regions adhere to this peculiar belief
- system.
-
- There have been several accounts concerning individuals who
- have encountered human beings - some who spoke the native
- language and others who spoke a language entirely foreign -
- within deep underground tunnels and caverns. There are many
- such cases, but we will refer to only one of these at this point
- (and will reserve the others for later in the text), an incident
- which may be one the most well-known and most well-documented
- accounts of this type:
-
- Sometime during the 12 century, a monastic chronicler in
- England by the name of "Gervase of Tilbury" recorded a strange
- account of two "children" who suddenly appeared near a small town
- near Bury St. Edmunds, England. The account was also recorded in
- the writings of several other chroniclers who lived at the time
- or sometime afterwards. These include: William of Newbury -
- HISTORIA RERUM ANGLICARUM, written in Yorkshire, England (1136-
- 1198?); Abbot Ralph of Coggeshall - CHRONICON ANGLICARUM; and
- also the chroniclers Giraldus Cambrensis and Walsingham. The
- account was more recently related in FLYING SAUCERS UNCENSORED,
- by Harold T. Wilkins (Citadel Press., New York, N.Y. 1955., pp.
- 97-98). From their combined accounts we can piece together the
- following bizarre story which the chroniclers swore to be true.
-
- One warm, sunny day in the 12th century some farmers and
- other residents of the small town of Wolfpittes, England - some
- seven miles distant from the larger village of Burry St. Edmunds
- - were startled to see two young children wandering around as if
- disoriented in some ancient "pits" or "trenches" known to the
- locals as the "Wolf-Pitts", after which the small village had
- taken it's name. These excavations were ancient, but no one
- seemed to know when or by whom they were dug, but the consensus
- was that they were at least partly artificial, and very ancient.
- The most shocking thing about the children, which the residents
- of Wolfpittes encountered, was that they had skin which was
- olive-green in colour, yet the rest of their features were as
- human as the average Englishman.
-
- The villagers attempted to communicate with the children but
- were unsuccessful as they soon discovered that the young boy and
- girl spoke a language which was completely unfamiliar to the
- villagers. The townspeople had compassion on the children and
- took them to the village and offered them various different kinds
- of food, all of which they seemed unfamiliar with and which they
- refused. However, when they were shown some beanstalks, they
- took them greedily, but instead of opening the bean-pods, the
- children attempted to open the stalks themselves, as if they had
- been accustomed to opening stalks in this way (apparently a
- practice they had learned in the land from which they emerged).
- Upon finding nothing in the stalks, the children began to weep.
- Unfortunately, the shock of entering our world was too much for
- the young boy, and even though he became partly acclimated to
- other forms of food, he nevertheless became weaker and weaker and
- finally died a few years afterwards. The young girl, however,
- adjusted quite well to her new surroundings. In fact she
- eventually grew into a mature, beautiful woman, and later married
- a gentleman from the nearby town of Kings Lynn. As time passed,
- her husband patiently instructed her in the complexities of the
- English language, and soon she was able to communicate fairly
- well, and the story she told of where she had come from and how
- she had arrived in our "world" with her brother was even more
- incredible.
-
- She told her husband that her people all had skin similar to
- hers, or rather to what her skin had once been like, as over a
- period of years the greenish tinge had left her. She described
- her world as a cavernous, subterranean country of enormous size,
- a country which went by the name of "St. Martin's Land." The
- land in which she lived was described as "twilight" in nature,
- yet there was a large underground river, on the other side of
- which there was another land more brightly lit. One day, she and
- her brother were herding some type of underground animal when
- they heard something like the sound of "bells" emerging from one
- of the cave passages or tunnels which lined the perimeter of this
- underground land. Out of extreme curiosity, they entered this
- tunnel and followed the passage upwards for what could have been
- a few days, although in their underground land they probably did
- not have any concept of what "day" or "night" was. After their
- long and weary journey up the steep incline they suddenly emerged
- into the brilliant sunlight of the British countryside. The
- change from their twilight world was dramatic, and the children
- walked around in the pits or trenches starved, half-blinded and
- disoriented. They shortly afterwards attempted to re-locate the
- small opening through which they had emerged, but were unable to
- do so, because of the blinding light. At about this point the
- farmers found them and took them to the village.
-
- A somewhat similar incident "may" have been repeated in the
- small hamlet of Banjos (or Banos) Spain in August of 1887,
- several hundred years after the incident at Wolfpittes and
- several hundred miles distant. We state that it MAY have been
- repeated to some degree simply because there seems to be some
- confusion surrounding the Banjos account, apparently due to the
- possibility that some well-meaning researcher may have confused
- the two incident, in essence attributing some of the events that
- in fact took place near Wolfpittes with the Banjos account.
- Basically, the Banjos incident reportedly had to do with two
- children who emerged from a CAVERN near the town (not "pits" or
- "excavations"), spoke an unknown language, and so on, although
- the details are sketchy. Some of the accounts of the Banjos
- incident repeat the Wolfpittes story almost verbatim, as if, as
- we said, someone somewhere mistakenly confused the two incidents,
- perhaps due to a lack of detail in the Banjos, Spain account.
- Whatever the case, it seems that SOMETHING of this general nature
- also occurred in this Spanish hamlet, even though the exact
- sources of the story are much more difficult to trace than are
- the sources for the Wolfpittes account. Paris Flammonde refers
- to this account in his book: THE AGE OF FLYING SAUCERS (Hawthorn
- Books, N.Y., p. 197), having learned it from an article in the
- September, 1967 issue of ORBIT Magazine, which in turn gave
- credit to an article in the Vol. XII, August 1967 issue of Dan
- Fry's UNDERSTANDING Magazine. Fry claimed that he got the story
- from an article by John Macklin which appeared in the December,
- 1966 issue of GRIT Magazine. The account also appears in John
- Macklin's book STRANGE DESTINIES (Ace Books., N.Y.); Jacques
- Bergier's LES EXTRA-TERRESTRES; and also appeared in the British
- periodical WEEKEND, on July 22, 1970.
