Malta Caves, missing children, strange animals, page 1

I have a book I bought some years ago that has the actual piece about that woman's jouney into the caves you are discussing. It was suppose to have happened sometime in the 1930's and she wrote about it from memory some years later in a jounal of some kind.

The stroy goes her and some friends went on a tour of the caves with one of the locals. They had been through most of what was available to see when the woman asked what's through that cave. The local said you can go down there if you want but to use a rope.

Anyway the cave was small in height so they had to couch down while going through. Her and a friend proceeded down the cave with her leading. They had a rope attatched to them and we using flame touches. When she reached the end of the cave she came to a very short ledge that led to a large drop to a very large cavern.

The stroy goes while she was standing on the ledge a group of 9 foot or so human like creatures came out of a cave below single file and turned to her beckoning her with their hands to come down. She relates how frieghtended she was espially when a wind blew out her touch.

Her friend who was still behind her in the smaller entrance to the ledge was asking what was going on but she managed to back track herself and her friend back down the small cave to where the tour party was still waiting.

When they arrived back she looked at the local and she could sense he new what she might have seen and both said nothing or told anyone of the experience and proceeded out of the cave with the tour ending.

Some weeks later the strory of the missing school children and their teacher happened. The stroy goes when they went to look for the party their rope which had been like a line to the front of the cave had been cut and they never found them. The story of the sceaming children for weeks after is also realted in the tale.

Aftre this event the local govenment closed those particular entrances within the caves and forbid anyone enetering beyond a certain distance. Later the woman who'd had the experience went back to the caves but could not find the local who took her on the original tour and when she asked questions the locals just acted dumb.

That's basically the end of the tale. I will tell you of a story I was told about of the island of Savaii in Western Samoa last November 2006. I was on my honeymoon with my wife when driving around we saw and sign with directions to the Dwaves caves. We started going along the road but it was getting late and the road was pretty rough so we decided to give it a miss.

While on a tour of the island later in the week and being taken to see another cave we asked about the caves we almost went to. The local girl had told us they no longer take people into those caves becuase of how muddy it was into the entrance of the caves and an expidition they had with some European tourists.

These tourists from I think she said Italy and Germany had told them the caves led to some beach at the end of the caves so the locals took them in and spent no less than 12 hours going through the caves with out finding anything. Our guide had also remarked how the caves were very large like a Cathederal but was not keen on going back in and kind of discouraged it.

You can still go in these caves as it's open to the public but if what our tour guide said is accurate after 6 hours (that's 6 hours one way then a 6 hour return jouney) walking through what she descibed as large caves they just kept going on and on with out finding anything.

Sounds very intriging to say the least but you can imagine my wifes reluctance to letting me going in there for any long period of time. Anyway hope that gets the minds going but don't go too far peeps, keep reality in distance that you can manage a return from any stange world.
