THIS IS AN ACTUAL DISCOVERY OF SOUNDS COMING FROM "HELL" IN SIBERIA DIGGINGS-IT'S FOR YOU TO DECIDE.
"I first heard about this story from people who started calling my radio
program to ask about it in the early 1990s. There was such a flurry of
calls that I finally promised the listeners I'd look into it. Most of
the callers said they'd heard the story on Trinity Broadcasting Network,
a Christian television network that originates from Southern
California.
I called Trinity Broadcasting headquarters and asked about the story. I
was transferred to a woman who said, 'Oh yes, it's true all right. We've
got documentation. It's in our latest newsletter.'
I was on the network's mailing list, so I looked through a pile of
recent mail and found the article. The newsletter said the details had
come from the translation of an article in a Finnish newspaper named
'Ammennusatia'. It claimed:
A geological group who drilled a hole about 14.4 kilometers deep in the
crust of the earth are saying that they heard human screams. Screams
have been heard from the condemned souls from earth's deepest hole.
Terrified scientists are afraid they have let loose the evil powers of
hell up to the earth's surface.
'The information we are gathering is so surprising, that we are
sincerely afraid of what we might find down there,' stated Dr Azzacov,
the manager of the project in remote Siberia.
According to the story, the geologists were dumbfounded. After they had
drilled several kilometers through the earth's crust, the drill bit
suddenly began to rotate wildly. 'There is only one explanation,' said
Dr Azzacov. 'The deep center of the earth is hollow!' The report
continued:
The second surprise was the high temperature they discovered in the
earth's center. 'The calculations indicate the given temperature was
about 1,100 degrees Celsius, or over 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit,' Azzacov
pointed out. 'This is far more then we expected. It seems almost like an
inferno of fire is brutally going on in the center of the earth.'
'The last discovery was nevertheless the most shocking to our ears, so
much so that the scientists are afraid to continue the project. We tried
to listen to the earth's movements at certain intervals with
supersensitive microphones, which were let down through the hole. What
we heard turned those logically thinking scientists into a trembling
ruins. It was a sometimes a weak, but high pitched sound which we
thought to be coming from our own equipment,' explained Dr Azzacov.
'But after some adjustments we comprehended that indeed the sound came
from the earth's interior. We could hardly believe our own ears. We
heard a human voice, screaming in pain. Even though one voice was
discernible, we could hear thousands, perhaps millions, in the
background, of suffering souls screaming. After this ghastly discovery,
about half of the scientists quit because of fear. Hopefully, that which
is down there will stay there,' Dr Azzacov added.
According to the Trinity Broadcasting Network newsletter, the Finnish
article had been given to them by a Texas evangelist, R.W. Schambach,
who was a frequent guest on their network.
We checked with Schambach's office and were assured that the story was
'absolutely true' and had been substantiated. They said they had an
article from a 'respected scientific journal' in Finland, as well as a
letter from a Norwegian man, Age Rendalen, who had confirmed it.
Rendalen had sent his letter directly to Trinity Broadcasting Network
and the details he revealed added a new dimension to the story.
Rendalen told the network that he had visited United States a few weeks
earlier and happened upon their telecast about the Drilling to Hell
story. He wrote:
I must confess that I laughed when I heard your account... I did not
believe one word of it, and commented to my friend that Americans sure
were gullible to believe that hell could be physically located to a hole
in the ground. I cannot even begin to tell you what a shock it was to
me when I returned to Norway and found the newspapers full of reports
about this incident. I knew immediately that if there was a hell, I for
sure would end up in it. A tremendous fear took hold of me, and for two
nights I dreamed about fire and screams until I surrendered to God and
committed my life to his hands for safe-keeping.
In the letter, Rendalen went on to encourage the network not to let
'skeptics' interfere with their telling of the story. He included a copy
and translation of what he claimed was an article from Norway's largest
and most reputable newspaper, with more information about the drilling.
Rendalen's translation of the article told of opposition to the drilling
by Russian atheists, as well as government intimidation to keep the
scientists from telling the rest of the world about their discovery. The
account, which drew on the eyewitness testimony of a Mr Nummedal, also
added a new detail:
What really unnerved the Soviets, apart from the voice recordings, was
the appearance that same night of a fountainhead of luminous gas
shooting up from the drill site, and out of the midst of this
incandescent cloud pillar a brilliant being with bat wings revealed
itself with the words (in Russian): 'I have conquered,' emblazoned
against the dark Siberian sky.
'The incident was absolutely unreal; the Soviets cried out in terror,'
says Mr Nummedal. Later that night, he saw ambulance crews circulating
in the community. A driver he knew told him that they had been told to
sedate everybody with a medication known to erase short term memory. The
Soviets use this drug in the treatment of shock victims.
So we now had not only a story about drilling into hell, but an
additional version with a bat-like creature making an appearance.
My staff and I decided to roll up our shirt sleeves and trace the story
as far as we could, especially since we had the names of newspapers and
at least one individual who might know the facts.
The Finnish newspaper 'Ammennusastia,' which is quoted in nearly every
account of the story, is located in an area called Levasjoki. We had a
phone conversation with a staff member who told us the publication is
not a 'respected newspaper' or a 'scientific journal', as we had been
told, but a monthly publication of a group of Finnish Christians. The
Drilling to Hell story, he said, had been based on the word of mouth
recollection of another staff member, who had remembered reading it as a
'major article' in a Finnish daily newspaper called 'Etela Soumen'.
We contacted this newspaper and at first they couldn't recall or find
the story. However, we later received a call saying they had discovered
that the tale had appeared in their paper. It was not in an article,
however, but in a feature section that included letters from readers who
could write about almost anything they wished.
Through the newspaper, we tracked down the person who wrote the letter
with the Drilling to Hell story. He was a kind, elderly man who, in
spite of being reluctant to talk with us initially, told us through an
interpreter that he couldn't vouch for the credibility of the story. He
got it, he said, from a Christian newsletter called 'Vaeltajat', which
was published by a group of Finnish missionaries.
We next contacted 'Vaeltajat'. The editor said the story had been
printed in their July 1989 issue. Where did he hear about it? He had
received it from one of their readers, who claimed it had appeared in a
newsletter called 'Jewels of Jericho', published by a group of Jewish
Christians in California. And that is where the Finnish trail came to an
end.
One thing was clear at this point: The Drilling to Hell story was
looking and smelling like a pretty typical urban legend. It was
sensational, impossible to document, and only had life because of all
the small publications that were quoting one another's unsubstantiated
stories.
However, there was still the Norwegian man, Age Rendalen, who had told
the story of the ominous, bat-like creature emerging from the
drill-hole. The article in the Trinity Broadcasting Network newsletter
said he lived near Oslo, so we called directory assistance and found him
in about 45 seconds. I talked with him on the phone myself:
'Are you the one who sent information to a Christian television network
in the United States about scientists drilling into hell?' I asked.
'Yes,' he said without hesitation.
'Well,' I continued, 'Do you have any way of knowing whether it is true?'
'Yes I do,' he replied.
'Tell me about it,' I asked.
'None of it is true,' he said. 'I fabricated every word of it!'
Rendalen went on to explain that he had visited the US a few weeks
earlier and had seen the host of a Christian television program
enthusiastically relating the Drilling to Hell story. He told me: 'I
couldn't believe that the hosts really thought the story was true and
that they would broadcast it without apparently having checked it out.'
When he returned to Norway, Rendalen sat down and fabricated the graphic
story of the bat-like creature and sent his letter to the television
network. His prediction was that they would use the story without
investigating it. To make an investigation easy for them, he included
his name, address and telephone number on his letter. He also included
what he claimed was an article on the story from 'Norway's largest and
most reputable newspaper'. In fact, the article, which he falsely
translated, was a piece in his local community paper about a building
inspector.
Rendalen also included the name and telephone number of a pastor friend
based in Southern California. This pastor knew about the hoax and was
prepared to reveal the truth if someone called to research it further
with him.
However, as predicted, Trinity Broadcasting Network ran the story
without contacting Renalden or the Californian pastor, and it appeared
on television, radio and in a large number of publications. None of
those who used the story attempted to research it before going public."
