The hollow earth theory is varied depending on who you talk to. This for me is the first thing that sets the alarm bells ringing. Get the story consistent first to achieve any kind of believability. We have stories of the Earth being hollow from pole to pole like a huge cored apple, others who like to think that the earth is like a giant basket ball with nothing in the middle at all and lets not forget the line of thought that entire Earth is a massive mazeway inhabited by something (Morlocks?) not human. Be it Aliens or some other dimensional Earth dweller we just cannot see. This is always my favorite rational for anything that cannot be photographed or any other way detected. A different dimension living amongst us.

I would think seismic data would conclusively show the earth isn't hollow since the waves wouldn't travel very well within it.

Accounting for the strength of the surface gravity becomes problematic if enough mass isn't present.

There's also the problem that what comes out from deep within the planet seems to not be solid at all (lava flows). In fact, the materials within the earth are effectively not solid under the strain and temperature they're subjected to and I'm not sure what would be able to resist them to maintain any enormous voids.
