OKLAHOMA, BINGER - A large mound north of Binger has traditionally been "haunted" and also the site of a legendary entrance to a vast system of labyrinths leading to the "Land of Kenyon" within a vast cavern illuminated by a bluish electromagnetic aurora/phosphorescence, in which live a peaceable race. However deep below this cavern are other darker realms where malevolent "serpent people" dwell. This story has made the rounds in years past, but others attribute its origin to a little known story penned by H. P. Lovecraft. One may wonder just why Lovecraft chose this particualr mound north of this particular town. Was this "haunted mound" connected to local legends or incidents in reality? source: Charles Marcoux; H. P. Lovecraft ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- OKLAHOMA, MCALESTER - Just before the Korean war three men explored a cavern NE of MCalester, underneath a "haunted mound", near which strange manifestations, animal mutilations and missing livestock had been reported. The owner at the time had put crosses on the knoll in order to keep "evil spirits" away. The three man, once inside, made their way down into a large cavern and found a seemingly "bottomless shaft" around which spiraled a stone staircase with steps large enough to accommodate a 12 foot giant. They descended for about a mile, not reaching the bottom, and decided to go back up. After the first two had emerged they heard a scream from the third, and some shots from his .45 revolver. They helped him out and in terror he told of hairy animal-men who had suddenly snuck up from behind him, grabbing him and trying to pounce him down to the ground. As evidence he showed his friends the YELLOWISH BLOOD that his gun had extracted from the creatures. source: Charles Marcoux; Victor C.
