Underground Lizard People of Los Angeles
No, it's not a joke. It's funny, but it's not a joke. In 1933, an inventor, G. Warren Shufelt began going all over Los Angeles with a machine he built, with the belief that it would be able to detect gold and other treasure. Descriptions of the machine are a little unclear, but apparently, it used radio waves to detect the chemical and vibrational differences of different types of matter. The signal was expressed through a box with a pendulum in it.
According to Shufelt, his readings indicate that almost two thousand feet below the surface of downtown is an underground city in the shape of a lizard, consisting of large chambers, some of which were filled with gold (specifically, tablets which record the beginnings of humanity through the time of the Mayans) and treasure. These tunnels orginally ran west, under the Pacific Ocean (these were apparently used for ventilation) to a city that is now under the sea. He wondered at this civilization that was so advanced and so deep underground.
At some point, Shufelt met an old Hopi Indian, named Chief Little Green Leaf. Not only to Green Leaf believe Shufelt, he supplied the missing piece of the puzzle. He related an old legend about the Lizard people who had been driven underground by a huge meteor striking the Earth four or five thousand years ago. Though they were safe in their subterranean city, methane eventually suffocated them.
Shufelt acquired a permit from the city to dig at 518 Hill Street, then a vacant lot, on the condition that he would pay for everything and leave the land the way he found it and split any findings with the city. By the time the story hit the paper in early 1934, there were five shafts, some 250 feet deep. Then in March, work suddenly stopped and the holes were filled in. No treasure was discovered.
There are historic Chinese tunnels that run under downtown, and course, building basements, various city infrastucture items and the metro have allowed for digging hundreds of feet below the surface. It's widely accepted that nothing has ever been found. But some people feel that these tunnels exist and that only a select few have access to them.
