CAVE CREATURES [8d]
The Siskiyou Mountains. Southwestern Oregon. In 1874, hunter Elijah Davidson discovered a large cave leading to a 500-acre network of underground tunnels and caverns. Known as the Oregon Caves, the ancient subterranean structure is one of the few marble caves in the world. Some believe this underground world is home to the Sasquatch creatures that have been reported in this area by Native Americans for hundreds of years.

“There are a number of sightings of these creatures in caves. A number of explorers hearing very strange animalistic screams coming from these caves and seeing sort of shadowy lumbering creatures within them. You know, if you’re a large flesh-and-blood animal, seven to eight feet tall, certainly you’re gonna be out hunting all day to feed. But at night, potentially, you know, with Bigfoot hunters out there, regular hunters, other wild animals, you need to be careful. The ideal location to hide out would be underground. So, you know, maybe that’s another reason we haven’t found Bigfoot. Instead of looking around us, maybe we should be looking below us.” – Nick Redfern (Author, Memoirs of a Monster Hunter), |

“These cavern systems that exist worldwide have not been fully explored. In fact, probably a very small percentage of them have been even discovered. What could exist down there? Could we have a whole system of life-forms that exist down there that we have yet to identify? You have fish that never see light, you have insect species, there’s the possibility of a complete potential infrastructure for Bigfoot to survive on. Perhaps Bigfoot is one of these life-forms.” – Christopher O’Brien |

“No one sees Sasquatches going on highways, paths and forests moving back and forth. If we’re dealing with nonhuman intelligence and non-humans made them to do work on this planet, maybe there’s a tunnel system. And that might explain why you could have them in Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, California, all over.” – Linda Moulton Howe |

“One thing that’s always intrigued me, as well, about Bigfoot is this description of a musky, sulfur-ish type smell that’s often associated with the close encounters. You know, the Christian version of the Devil and fire and brimstone and that sulfur type smell tends to be associated with the subterranean world or Hell. So, is there a connection, possibly, between the idea of subterranean devils, if you will, or Lucifer, and that sulfur smell and that sulfur smell with Bigfoot?” – Christopher O’Brien |
Is it possible that a race of subterranean creatures has been living beneath the Earth’s surface without our knowledge? If so, might Bigfoot have been interacting with us for thousands of years?

“In ancient Greek myths, we find references to the troglodytes. These hairy, beastly-looking creatures that lived underground, that sometimes were extremely terrifying but sometimes they also were very wise and taught mankind in various disciplines. Now, according to the ancient legends, the troglodytes are believed to have descended from the sky. Obviously, they were hiding out somewhere that was inaccessible to our ancestors. They wanted to keep their presence a secret. There are multiple stories that actually talk about explorations into these tunnels, where sometimes people never returned.” – Giorgio A. Tsoukalos |

“People who have done research have found dens, nests, collections of brush that are put together in particular patterns that suggest very large creatures are nesting in them. And I find that fairly persuasive evidence. Something is making those dens or nests out of brush. Something is using those, probably living underground.” – Sabina Magliocco, Ph.D. |

“Throughout the world, there are many extensive and mysterious cavern systems that are linked together. In Tibet and in India, also in North and South America, some of them also go throughout the Pacific Northwest, like areas like Mount Shasta. So, it’s an interesting idea that Bigfoot is actually traveling underground, through these tunnel systems, and those underground bases and tunnel systems would have been made by extraterrestrials.” – David Childress (Author, Technology of the Gods), |
Might extraterrestrials really have built caves and tunnel systems to hide the legendary creature known as Bigfoot, as some Ancient Astronaut Theorists believe? And if so, is it possible that these otherworldly beings still dwell there today?

“Could Sasquatch, Bigfoot, be something that lives here, on Earth, underground? What is the relationship between the Sasquatch, the nonhuman phenomenon and this planet?” – Linda Moulton Howe |

“There’s also the possibility that he is actually an alien creature. Now, we don’t know how intelligent he is, but one theory is that the Bigfoot is actually a more intelligent creature, and he’s avoiding man, hiding out in mountainous regions that are cold, waiting for man to destroy himself, at which time, he’ll assume dominance. And, of course, he also could be the result of genetic hybridization, and that aliens landed on our planet and used DNA to create a hybrid between man and the apes. All bets are on, but the evidence that he exists somewhere certainly is strong based on all of the evidence we’ve found, in terms of eyewitness observations, footprints, et cetera.” – Franklin Ruehl, Ph.D. (Theoretical Physicist / Cryptozoologist) |
Could the intermingling of human and alien beings have resulted in this strange hybrid creature, as Ancient Astronaut Theorists contend? Perhaps further investigation of the Bigfoot mystery will reveal an even more disturbing truth.
