Escaping Denver, Batch 2, Episode 6, The Tear. Well, I reached the bottom of the rabbit hole.

As Noah so succinctly said, I don't believe it, but it's fun to think about.

And I thought about it, read about it, dreamt about it.

I mean, if you haven't already,

this hollow earth theory is worth looking into. It's not about some little planet existing

within our own planet. As mind-blowing as that would be, it's pretty much been ruled out by science,

but the ways into these subterranean worlds. That's more interesting than the worlds themselves.

The caves, incredible cave systems being linked to mythology from all over the world.

Take the legend of Ireland's gate to hell.

It's this ancient cave that they say strange creatures used to emerge from.

And in Celtic mythology, there's even the story of a series of tunnels that lead to this subterranean society.

And a long time ago, members of this society emerged, introduced druidism, and then disappeared back into the caves.

I mean, it's not just monsters. There's something more to it.

What if the caves are the main deal and not just the entrances to it?

In the first batch of messages, when Noah and Sarah first left the maze,

he described the caves as reclaiming the hallway, the way Ivy would.

Are the caves themselves, for lack of a better word, living?

Is that possible?

I mean, I haven't been able to sleep, so I might be seeing phantom connections. I'm just so desperate to make sense of it all. Wrap my brain around how

Bigfoot is somehow connected to the collective. When I first heard Noah and Sarah get into all

these abandoned labs, I got excited because I thought aliens. For sure, aliens. This is Roswell stuff, but the deeper we get into this,

I feel like we're tapping into something a hell of a lot older than aliens.
