The Deros didn't want you to know.


While you search for 'Deros' and 'Shaver Mystery' (among the more recent versions of the hollow Earth tales and a whole crazy universe of its own) perhaps you'll come across a cult established in the 1950's (as I recollect) based in NY that produced some astonishingly detailed scale globes of the hollow earth and its interior regions. I have several pics somewhere on a drive of those globes, and will post them if I find them.

The most recent variations of the story usually involve satellite photos where blank areas of missing data are offered as proof of the holes leading to the interior.

And don't miss the involvement of an FBI guy named Fred Crisman, in addition to the hollow Earth weirdness, he pops up in the first ufo recovery tale in the US as well as the murder of JFK. There are even some interesting radio programs from the 50's on the topic by a guy named Long John Nebel (the Art Bell of the era)

My personal study of this particular flavor of cultural craziness began as research for a now-abandoned creative project, if you find this of interest, strap yourself in as you've only nicked the surface.

Enjoy(?) the crazy, and maybe stay out of the caves......

She is constantly bombarding him with conspiracies. I need to ask him if she has told him about these.
