though their lamp is found abandoned at the entrance. A full
scale search of the mine fails to turn up any evidence of the
missing boys.

On
Dec. 26, 1945, a mine explosion in the Belva Mine trapped several
men. When they were rescued some of the men insisted that they
saw a "door" in one of the walls open, and a man dressed
as a "lumberjack" emerge from a well-lighted room.
After assuring the men that they would be rescued, the strange
visitor returned to the room and closed the door.
Other
similar accounts have been reported during similar mine disasters,
such as the one at a Shipton, Pennsylvania mine, where similar
"lumberjack" or "telephone linemen" type
of men have been seen, suggesting that they exist in another
time-dimension, possibly explaining why they "knew"
the outcome of the disasters. In some cases the strange "workmen",
as if taking the role of guardian angels, had offered trapped
men unusual "lighting" to keep them out of the dark,
and in other cases as with the Shipton disaster, "astral
visions" accompanied the visits of these fourth dimensional
[?] visitors.

Notes: Patsey Wingate, a victim of UFO encounters, missing time,
MIB limo's, harassment, black helicopters, police-like cars
in a temporal mist, death threats, the works... spoke of a mountain
near Riverton where a certain UFO was seen on numerous occasions.
While on the mountain she would hear humming sounds coming from
underground, then at home later that night she experienced frightening
vivid "dreams" of "children underground on the
mountain [who] were begging for help. They were in glass cages.
Some of the children looked human, but some looked like aliens."

Notes: SE of Salem is Hodges cave, which some believe is the
cavern that is mentioned in John Uri Lloyd's book ETIDORHPA,
which was illustrated by a veteran Mason. Witnesses have stated
that they have seen Masons wandering about the area. One report
tells of a nearby stone staircase leading deep into the gloomy
darkness of the earth, which witnesses failed to fully investigate
as they were hit with an overpowering sense of terror.
