Frightening Encounters With Underground Humanoid Monsters

[Mystic Wanderer]

Many people have claimed to see "monsters" coming from underground tunnels, caves, etc. for centuries.  Here is a compilation of some of the strangest stories to get you into the Halloween spirit. 

There is perhaps no creepier place than a long, winding tunnel or cave leading off into the darkness into the confines of the earth. It instills some sort of primal dread in us, a fear we cannot escape, and leaves us to wonder just where that dim passageway leads and what things lie within it.
Of course considering the spooky nature of the tunnels, caverns, sewers, and other subterranean places of our world there are bound to be tales of something weird pacing about in those places beneath our feet, and there are plenty.
Some of the most spectacular and bizarre of reports of underground monsters have to do with beings and beasts that are somewhat humanoid in nature, prowling about down there in the depths and beyond our understanding.

There are at least seven or eight stories here where people tell their experience in coming up on different types of monsters.
Too many to post here, so go to the article and read them:  Creepy Encounters
