It's there in the news again: strange sounds from underground.
Lost in the whipsaw of explosive news and swift-moving global
events was an item I noted recently from West Haven,
Connecticut, where a phantom humming sound has reverberated
persistently in several neighborhoods for years has returned.
I've written about mysterious subterranean sounds in the
past. I don't intend on repeating that.
Many can be explained as the
echoes, the reverberations, of industrial machinery,
traffic, even meteorological effects that cause vibrations. In
Moodus, Connecticut, where I have given several retreats,
mysterious noise has been recorded since Indian times, described
by indigenous peoples and early settlers alike as "the sound of
a great mountain falling." (The town’s very name comes from
“Machemoodus” or “place of bad noises.”)
But it hardly stops there. Sounds have been reported across
North America in towns or cities in Ohio, California, Colorado,
Illinois, New Jersey, North Carolina, Rhode Island, Maine,
Wisconsin, and Maryland.
This has caused speculation of
secret projects.
Is the government or some group constructing a vast network
of tunnels beneath our feet? Does that account for at least some
of the reports? Is there any truth to speculations and rumors
that America is preparing subterranean "highways" or rail
systems connecting hidden cities in the event of "apocalypse"?
(Wait till you hear some of the wildest claims.)
Or is it something—as others claim—more mysterious than even
that? (As you'll see, there is sometimes a supernatural
connection.)
It's the focus of this new
"Special Report": secret structures and allegedly
fantastic things that are occurring beneath our feet.
Let me first mention the mystical component. Look at Lourdes
and the cave there (Grotto
of Massabielle). It's just thirty feet deep but it's where
Saint Bernatette not only saw the Blessed Mother but found a
spring nearby of miraculous water. A cave was also where in Rome
(at Tre Fontane) Mary appeared on April 12, 1947 as the "Virgin
of Revelation" to Bruno Cornacchiola, an anti-clerical
Protestant who was planning to kill the Pope.
One of the most powerful places I have ever visited is the
cave known as Monte Sant-Angelo where (not far from San Giovanni
Rotundo, Italy) the Archangel Michael appeared. If you want to
feel spiritual power, don't miss this spot!

That was in 491.
Of course, there are tunnels and caves everywhere and have
been for millennia.
I recently was in Athens, Greece, and walked past a cave
where legend has it Socrates was imprisoned and executed, a cave
others believed was a portal to the netherworld. In Athens is
also the tale of the hidden passage from the Acropolis to the
Ilissos River, sometimes called “The Secret Way of Athena and
Aglaurus." Local Christians renamed the site “The Cave of the
Virgin’s Descent” and believe the Virgin Mary herself once
appeared there.
The hidden passage beneath led to what--as at KLourdes--they
believed was a miraculous underground spring.
(The Virgin, they said, walked unseen beneath the city from
the Acropolis to the Ilissos, bringing water to the faithful
during times of drought. Old Athenians called this path the
“Road of the Hidden Mother.” On warm nights, some Athenians say
a cool breath rises from the sealed cave, even when the air
above is still — as if water still flows below. Others claim
that after rain, a faint sound of running water can be heard
through the stone, though the surface streams are dry. The cave
of Aglaurus became a refuge for monks and ascetics. To many
locals and mystics, it remains not just a mythic tunnel, but a
spiritual artery — linking the sacred heart of Athena’s rock to
the life-giving river that once sustained her city.)
Across religious history,
deep places—catacombs, tunnels, caves, pits—are associated with
burial, spiritual imprisonment, contact with forbidden realms,
serpentine or chthonic forces. Certain believers argue that
spiritual boundaries exist in nature that when scientists and
contractors drill, blast, resonate, or electrify the deep earth,
they may have destabilized spiritual structures, awakened
dormant forces, disturbed ancient ground, and in general created
“thin spots” between our reality and other dimensions.
A lot of this, of course is
superstition. But Scripture’s metaphors of the “Pit,” “Abyss,”
and “Lower Earth” are not accidental.
Those are some examples of mystical ones but there are
tunnels under many cities, passages that are or have been used
for everything from subways to bomb shelters, flood overflow
channels, sewers, and escape routes.

There is even an elaborate series of tunnels ("utilidors")
under Disney World!
Most famous when it comes to the government is what they
call the Cheyenne Mountain Complex near Colorado Springs,
Colorado. Built during the Cold War as a nuclear-resistant
command center and includes multiple passageways, blast doors,
water storage, fuel reserves, and full self-sustainment
capability, designed to survive nuclear, electromagnetic pulse,
chemical, and biological attacks.

There are those who believe the complex is connected via
tunnel with a massive underground complex beneath Denver
International Airport. Set for closure in the near future, the
Cheyenne complex is an entire operational “city” inside
a mountain.
In Pennsylvania near the border with Maryland is what is
called the Raven Rock Mountain Complex (“Underground Pentagon”),
a secret Cold War bunker for continuity of government, designed,
like Cheyenne, to keep government functioning during nuclear
war. The bunker has emergency operations centers for the United
States Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps. Some believe
it's linked by tunnels to Washington D.C., under which there are
certainly tunnels that transport congressmen from their offices
to the Capitol.
In Virginia is the Mount Weather Emergency Operations Center,
a FEMA continuity-of-government bunker built to protect
leadership during a catastrophe. Are there other Deep
Underground Miitary Bases (or "DUMBS") connected (as rumor has
it) by high-speed tunnels. This would certainly account for soe
of the strange sounds! The "whirring" is attributed to "nuclear
subterrenes—massive boring machines allegedly capable of melting
through rock to create glass-lined tunnels at incredible speeds.
The "roars" are explained as the sound of high-speed vacuum-tube
trains (similar to a Hyperloop) moving between these bases.
This is what we know about. Underground evacuation
tunnels from D.C. Secret elite shelters.
Like I said, prosaic. A bit mysterious (due to secrecy), but
nothing supernormal. How many more of these are there that we
don't know about? Are there hidden in every state? In multiple
parts of many states? And are a lot of them connected by
hundreds of miles of tunnels? Is that the noise many
hear?
We do know this: every
year, billions of dollars in "dark" money (funds that can't be
scrutinized even by Congress) are spent by the military and
other government agencies. Witnesses often describe a rhythmic,
mechanical sound, similar to a massive ventilation fan or a
high-speed boring machine.
If tunnels can be built under the Hudson River, English
Channel, and Chespeake Bay, does anyone doubt there might be
something deeper and more extensive--possibly much more
elaborate? Believers argue that the world’s superpowers have
constructed a massive, interconnected network of underground
cities and laboratories.
In Los Angeles are abandoned Cold War “Tunnels to Nowhere”
that were built in 1950s as nuclear evacuation routes and
Intended to cut through San Gabriel Mountains.
That didn't quite happen and the project was abandoned,
leaving eerie tunnels. Do you know there was also a Secret Cold
War base (the "City Under Ice") in Greenland?
Haunted are said to be tunnels under Seattle. There are also
flood tunnels under Las Vegas that have become a hidden city for
the homeless. In New York City are claims of similar underground
facilities for sex trafficking the billionaires. I'm not going
to get more explicit than that. Suffice it to say the human
sacrifice is alleged there and in the U.K.

When it comes to the private elite:
Recently in the news (and far more prominently than Moodus)
have been stories referring to tunnels and possibly an
underground residence or office at Jeffrey Epstein's bizarre
island in the Caribbean. So too are there tunnels and rumored
underground rooms at billionaire and Epstein associate Les
Wexner's massive estate near Columbis, Ohio.
Because Wexner essentially built the entire village of New
Albany from the ground up, the scale of his construction
projects has fueled significant public curiosity. One of the
most concrete sources of these reports involves a legal battle
from the late 1990s.
Residents of New Albany reportedly went to court to attempt to
block Wexner from building tunnels that would pass under their
properties.
Wexner won and there
is a persistent, though unproven, theory that tunnels connect
the main estate to other high-end guest houses or properties in
the area.
The speculation suggests these were used to move guests or
"individuals" discreetly. There is a grand guest house where
Epstein stayed while visiting. This has led to local speculation
that the two residences were connected via a private underground
passage to ensure privacy for high-profile visitors.
The elite, it seems—and
criminals—have a special stake in such surreptitious structures.
What are they for? Are they going to be investigated?
In New Mexico, Epstein had that bizarre, sprawling,
7,600-acre ranch. E-mails from October 2017 indicate the
property may have contained at least six underground levels,
accessed through a “sub cellar elevator.” The dead financier-sex
trafficker had rumored ties to intelligence operations,
including MOSSAD (Israel), U.K. (M.I.6.), the C.I.A., and the
former K.G.B.

One recent headline: "Epstein’s Properties Had Secret
Networks of Underground Tunnels and Bunkers."
Whether these tunnels are for simple
transit or something more secretive (I'll guess the latter), the
spiritual weight of such a project is immense.
We live
in an era where the "powers of the air" are increasingly
active, but perhaps we should be looking at the "powers of the
earth" as well. As the elite build their bunkers and their
hidden paths, the faithful are reminded that our true protection
comes not from concrete and deep earth, but from the Light that
no darkness—however deep—can overcome.
But this "Report" isn't about scandal (as important as that
currently is). I do, however, want to remain focused on secret
subterranean facilities, and for this we can stay in the state
of New Mexico. Along with Colorado, this state is right at the
top as far as subterranean mysteries.
Since the early 1990s, residents of Taos, New Mexico, have
reported a low-frequency buzzing or whirring. There is Los
Alamos National Laboratories in the northern part of the state.
This remote town, where the atomic bombs was first assembled,
has secret underground facilities, the full use of which is not
known. To the south is a former ultra-secret nuclear weapons
storage facility in Albuquerque, built into the mountains in the
1940s.
Without leaving the state we next have Kirtland Air Force
Base / Sandia National Laboratories: A major hub in Albuquerque
for military research and nuclear engineering--and long-rumored
to have connections to the otherworldly, along with, of course,
with
Cannon and Holloman Air Force Bases in Roswell. (Remember
that alleged UFO "crash"?)
Cannon
and Holloman Air Force Bases remain tied to military research
and speculation about secret technology.
But taking the crown as most bizarre may be Dulce, a place
in far north-central New Mexico near the Colorado border.
A major urban legend: that there's a massive, multi-level,
secret underground
military base there beneath Archuleta Mesa, and while
there is no official evidence to support these claims, which
began gaining traction in the 1970s, the rumors persist of
ultra-clandestine research, including secret experiments and
alien-human interaction in this tunnel complex.
I'm not saying I believe any of this. I'm reporting. You come
to your own conclusions. Rumor has it of ancient caverns
predating the military base.
I don't blame you if you dismiss it all as beyond weird.
Much of the lore seemed to have originate with a fellow named
Philip Schneider, a self-proclaimed structural engineer and
geologist who claimed to have worked on these bases and also to
have had ties to Bechtel, Morrison-Knudsen, EG&G, and Los
Alamos. He famously alleged that the "roaring" sounds heard in
certain areas were the result of accidental breaches into
caverns occupied by non-human entities.
Schneider became known in the
mid-1990s UFO circuit through recorded talks during which he
claimed the government was buioding tunnels to connect its "DUMBS"
(underground bases).
Whew!
The internet (and especially
podcasts) certainly offer up more than one can readily
assimilate.
But like I said, I'll report.
It's a cluster of claims: not just the idea of all these hidden,
deep underground facilties but also the extraterestrial stuff.
This all brings to mind "Area 51" in Nevada, where others assert
there are below-ground facilities (along with places such as
Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton, Ohio, and another
in Indiana) where aliens or their bodies have been studied.
Schneider, admittedly soft-spoken and sounding credible, went
further, saying that at one point there was a conflict between
the humans and the extraterrestrials, leading to deaths. At Area
51, Bob Lazar (subject of a previous "Report") asserted
something similar.
That’s powerful as
storytelling—but still almost solely testimonial, landing inside
a mythos that existed for decades.
Again:
claims, certainly not
verified facts. Schneider publicly displayed bodily
injuries--missing fingers, scars-- as evidence something
extraordinary happened during secret work. He alleged that there
was a suppression of "whistleblowers" and was found dead by
suidice in 1996 (ligature strangulation, which admittedly raises
one's eyebrows).

Recently, during a YouTube
interview, former President Barack Obama about aliens and said,
“They’re real, but I haven’t seen them,” adding, “They’re not
being kept in Area 51, there’s no underground facility, unless
there’s this enormous conspiracy and they hid it from the
president of the United States.”
Later, he clarified that
his belief came only from how vast the universe is. "I saw no
evidence during my presidency that extraterrestrials have made
contact with us," he said, as his remarks made news around the
world. "Really!”

I will admit to this: Even
if, as seems wise, we set Schneider aside, Dulce Base has a
fairly traceable path through UFO mythology and is strongly
associated with an Albuquerque businessman/UFO investigator
named Paul Bennewitz who was active around Kirtland Air Force
Base in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Independent confirmation
of their “secret-career” claims is thin in public sources.
But when I researched
strange phenomena claimed in Colorado--including just across the
border from Dulce--I was struck by the sheer number of claims of
strange aerial lights (particularly around and above Mount
Blanc, rumored to likewise harbor secret military operations)
along with paranormal phenomena.
The intersecting of
"aliens" with the paranormal is always curious.
But let's also
recall--again, from a previous "Report"--the far more credible
accouht from Army Combat Veteran D. C. Long, who testified that
he and his father, then government contractors, were tasked with
setting up a "shoot house" at an underground facility called
"Range 19" in Fort Bragg, which provides world-class training,
integrating the latest cutting-edge technology and support
structures.

Immediately after arriving and walking through the doors
inside, they were greeted by an "escort," says Long, taken down
a freight elevator, and told not to look at anything except the
"heels of the man in front of you" or they might be shot. Inside
they supposedly saw three objects, two of which were floating by
no visible means, including a "monolithic slab" that was off the
floor by fifteen or more inches (levitating) with an opaque box
on top that seemed to send out a vibration.
Now let's go abroad.
In Russia is Mount Yamantau,
an enormous underground base believed to be a
continuity-of-government city and a vault of unknown experiments
connected to ancient secret mountains. Folklore claims Yamantau
was a holy mountain where “spirits were sealed.” The Soviets
bored through it anyway. Under the city as tunnels said to be
gateways to the netherworld.
From a
belief-oriented
perspective, these places are not just military infrastructure.
They may be contact
points,
containment zones, or
thin places
where the metaphysical bleeds into the material.
For decades, Russian
defectors, psychics, military engineers, and mystics have
whispered about “the underworld” of Kapustin Yar—a place where
secrecy meets the supernatural.
The steppe around Kapustin
Yar is ancient. Long before Stalin created the missile base in
1946, the region held:
Russian folklore speaks of
chthonic spirits
wandering the deep earth—a realm of “old intelligences”
beneath the soil.
Some Orthodox mystics
believed the area was “contested ground,” a battlefield between
heavenly forces and darker spiritual entities inhabiting the
deep.
When the Soviet military
dug tunnels, they may have unknowingly intersected—or
awakened—something
prehistoric and spiritual, not just geological.
Before Stalin chose the
location in 1946, the region was already spiritually charged.
Archaeologists have long known that the steppe surrounding
Kapustin Yar is marked by
Scythian burial mounds,
pagan ritual sites, and early Christian hermitages. Russian
folklore speaks of openings to the “Lower World,” a shadow realm
beneath the earth inhabited by restless spirits.
When the Soviets dug deep
tunnels, some Orthodox elders warned even then:
“That ground is not
silent. It is contested.”
The Spherical Chamber
Construction workers later
told strange tales.
Beneath the concrete corridors and reinforced missile bunkers
lay things not on any geological map: dry caverns, perfectly
smooth walls in places, and most baffling of all, a
spherical hollow
carved with a precision no Soviet machine could match in the
1940s.
One engineer reportedly
said:
“We did not excavate that
chamber. We discovered it.”
Some believed it was
natural. Others said it was ancient and artificial—a
vault left by a forgotten civilization. Still others sensed
something living within it: not physically alive, but
aware.
The Bright Shaft
Then there was the
so-called Bright Shaft,
a vertical tunnel deeper than any official map allowed. Guards
refused night duty near it. Radios died. Animals trembled. A
low-frequency hum pulsed up through the concrete floors.
Remote-viewers—yes, the
Soviets used them—described a presence beneath the lowest level:
“Not technological. Not
human. Not dead.”
To believers, this
describes a spiritual intelligence—something the military
disturbed unintentionally.
Crashes and the
Descenders
UFO activity around
Kapustin Yar is legendary.
British intelligence, Soviet archives, and eyewitnesses all
speak of metallic craft maneuvering with impossible precision
above the base.
More ominous are reports of
at least two crashes in 1948 and 1950.
Witnesses claim the recovered craft—and something within
them—were transported not into hangars but
down into the tunnels.
Decades later, defectors
whispered about strange biological entities stored in the lowest
vaults—beings sensitive to light, semi-physical, and violently
reactive.
They were called
“Spuskayushchiesya”
— The Descenders.
One guard recounted an
event in the 1960s:
“All the lights flickered. A scream rose from the lower chamber.
We evacuated. They said it was a pressure malfunction. We knew
better.”
Were these
extraterrestrial? Interdimensional? Preternatural?
A spiritual deception?
Or something unearthed, not crashed?
Believers note that
Scripture speaks often of spirits imprisoned beneath the earth
until a time of release.
Experiments in
Consciousness
During the Cold War, the
Soviets ran massive psychic programs: telepathy, remote viewing,
psychotronic influence. Kapustin Yar had underground rooms
designed for this—Faraday cages, sensory-deprivation tanks,
magnetic-field generators.
One psychic described the
tunnels as “crowded,” though he was alone.
“There were intelligences
behind the walls,” he said. “Watching.”
Many Christians view
psychic practices as spiritual trespassing—modern attempts to
push into realms meant for God alone. When done deep beneath the
earth, in a place already spiritually charged, the effects could
be intensified.
A Portal or Prison?
The most controversial
claim is that the spherical chamber acted as a kind of
Node—a place
where space, time, or consciousness bends. Some said dust
floated upward inside it. Others described a luminous fog. Still
others claimed to hear whispering without sound.
Those of faith see a
parallel not with science fiction but with
ancient warnings:
What if the Soviets found
something they should have sealed—yet instead tried to awaken?
A Pattern Seen
Elsewhere
Kapustin Yar is not unique.
The pattern appears globally:
-
Dulce Base (USA):
underground levels, biological experiments, entity reports.
-
Mount Yamantau
(Russia): a massive buried complex built under a
mountain sacred to ancient peoples.
-
Pine Gap
(Australia): deep electromagnetic facilities atop
Aboriginal “sky-serpent” legends.
-
Derinkuyu (Turkey):
ancient multi-level underground cities tied to spiritual
refuge or captivity.
Humanity repeatedly digs
into places long associated with spiritual danger.
A Spiritual Reading of
Kapustin Yar
From a believer’s
perspective, several conclusions emerge:
1. The Soviets may
have built atop a spiritually charged or forbidden site.
The ancients avoided certain areas for reasons modern engineers
overlook.
2. Something pre-human
may exist beneath the steppe.
Whether demonic, imprisoned, or simply unknown.
3. Human
experiments—psychic, biological, technological—may have opened
doors.
Not upward, but downward.
4. Kapustin Yar could
be a containment zone.
Something found…and sealed.
5. Humanity continues
to probe spiritual thresholds without discernment.
Just as Babel attempted to pierce heaven, men today may be
piercing the deep earth.
The Present Day
Decades after the USSR’s
fall, residents still report:
-
metallic humming under
the soil
-
lights emerging from old
tunnel entrances
-
ground vibrations at
night
-
dread near sealed shafts
Satellite images show air
intakes, ventilation structures, and earth-covered portals whose
purpose remains unclear.
Kapustin Yar stands today
as a reminder of a timeless truth:
When man descends into
realms he does not spiritually understand, he may find not
enlightenment, but something that was waiting.

2. FACEBOOK SUMMARY
(short, punchy, faith-driven)
Kapustin Yar—Russia’s
“Area 51”—isn’t just a missile range.
Many believe its vast
underground tunnels and caverns hide something far
stranger:
-
Ancient chambers the
Soviets didn’t build
-
A “Bright Shaft” where
radios die and animals panic
-
Possible crashed craft
taken below,
not above
-
Entities called “The
Descenders” rumored to be held in the lowest vault
-
Psychic and consciousness
experiments in shielded rooms
-
Vibrations and lights
still reported by locals today
From a spiritual
perspective, Kapustin Yar may sit on
contested ground—an
ancient place tied to the “Lower World” of Slavic lore.
And Scripture repeatedly
warns about pits, the abyss, and deep places where forces were
confined.
Modern technology may have
opened doors that were never meant to be opened.
2. THE SOVIET
SUBTERRANEAN COMPLEX: MAN-MADE… OR SOMETHING ELSE?
Multiple testimonies
describe vast tunnel
networks, built in stages during the Cold War:
-
reinforced concrete
passageways
-
vault-like chambers
-
excavation scars far
exceeding the needs of a simple test site
-
elevator shafts
descending to unknown lower levels
Some claim the tunnels form
a three-tiered
underground facility, each level more restricted.
But a few workers reported
something stranger:
cuts in the rock that looked
too smooth,
too uniform,
or too ancient
to be Soviet-made.
Interviews conducted in the
1990s (after the fall of the USSR) say that during construction,
engineers discovered:
-
a
honeycomb of natural
caverns, perfectly dry
-
odd magnetic
anomalies in sealed pockets of stone
-
bones of
creatures not yet classified
-
and, most unsettling,
a sealed spherical
chamber, as if carved with extreme precision
Some believed this “perfect
room” was not human in
origin.
A small group of Soviet
scientists speculated it was an
ancient geologic geode
modified by intelligence—or a
vault left by
a forgotten civilization.
3. THE “BRIGHT SHAFT”:
WHERE SKY AND UNDERWORLD MEET
One of the most persistent
rumors involves a vertical tunnel known as
The Bright Shaft.
Witnesses say:
Some told of a
low-frequency hum,
like a machine idling deep in the earth.
A defector even claimed
that remote-viewers assigned to psychically “probe” the base
sensed a presence
below the lowest level, described as:
“Not technological, not
human, not dead. Watching.”
To believers, this suggests
an intelligence
beneath the base—something perhaps disturbed when the
Soviets dug too deep.
4. ALLEGED CAPTURES:
THE “DESCENDERS”
UFO lore around Kapustin
Yar often mentions crashes and retrievals, similar to Roswell.
But local accounts add a
subterranean twist:
Some say that whatever was found was
taken below,
not above.
One wild story, but
consistently repeated, is of entities referred to as
“Spuskayushchiesya”—“the
Descenders.”
These beings, allegedly
recovered in the 1950s or 60s, were said to
prefer darkness
and reacted violently to sunlight.
Whether extraterrestrial,
interdimensional, or preternatural is debated.
But in believer circles,
the notion that the Soviets stored these entities
in the deepest tunnels
is persistent—along with the claim that:
“The deepest vault cannot
be opened now. Something is sealed inside.”
The
Old Testament
often uses subterranean language to describe encounters
with the dead, imprisoned spirits, or chaotic forces beneath
creation.
Believers sometimes view
underground bases not merely as military engineering but as
modern towers of Babel
running downward instead of upward—human attempts to
probe realms that aren’t meant to be entered.
Some Orthodox priests
warned as early as the 1950s that Kapustin Yar was a “gate
of shadows,” where science, secrecy, and preternatural
forces intersected.
