Allan: "The invisible races are often presented in a homogenous, 'one size fits all' package that includes ghosts, ghouls and even extraterrestrials, although their true points of origin are normally obscured in a haze of confusion and speculation. However, one probable source is the subject of, 'Caverns, Cauldrons and Concealed Creatures', a superbly researched and very accessible book by Wm. Michael Mott, who ably demonstrates that the pits and crevasses hidden deep below the surface of planet Earth might just hold the answer to many of these puzzles. In this informative and entertaining work, Michael Mott, whom I have had the pleasure of both knowing and collaborating with for many years, presents a beguiling and seductive range of anecdotes, accounts and traditions culled from the folktales and traditions of various countries and uses these to present persuasive evidence to support his hypothesis. When one thinks about it, it is perhaps the subterranean regions of the earth that are the only logical place these beings might actually inhabit, for almost all encounters with these entities feature their sudden disappearance into a cave or crevasses or even the ground itself. Certainly, there have been repeated accounts of a hollow Earth concealing fleets of UFO's and it also allegedly the site of Ultima Thule, the fabled source of the Aryan race, a place where man could, by whatever means leave the surface of the earth and journey deep into the bowels of the planet to an complex inner world illuminated by its own miniature sun." : Color Illustrations .
