In early 1996, while waiting at a bus stop in Salt Lake City, I (Branton) struck up a conversation with a young man.  The conversation drifted to a subject which fascinated him, namely role-playing games.

He stated that he was a D.M. (Dungeon Master) in the Dungeons and
Dragons network, and has supervised D&D conferences in which thousands were in attendance and personally knew the creator of the whole D & D program, although I personelly forget the founder's name.

He stated that "the General Authorities of the Mormon Church and high-
level members of other religions" actually motivated or inspired the game. 

I found this interesting in that Mormonism and some other "religions" I have investigated have been infiltrated at the top by Scottish Rite Masons; and I also found this statement interesting because others have claimed that the International Wiccan lodge [which operates hand-in-hand with Masonry] is using this "game" to raise up a generation of occult warriors and potential recruits.

The original game developed was called "Chain Mail" and was, from his description, a type of chess game involving dice.  Chain Mail was then taken as the basis for the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing system, and later by the other D&D "clones" that have appeared since then.

I commented that it was interesting that different sources had informed me that the Mormon Temple in Salt Lake City is built over at least 3 sub-basement levels which connect to 20 miles of tunnels used by Polygamists after the Federal Government demanded that the practice be given up as a requirement for statehood in 1896.  I could personally care less whether or not people practice polygamy, but the Feds thought differently and the tunnels were built in such a way that the inner elite who still held to the practice could escape underground at a moments notice if the government began coming around and asking questions.

His comment to this was something like, "Oh, it's alot more than 20 miles."

I asked him to elaborate, and this is basically what he told me.

Some years ago a group of D & D fanatics whom he know personally found
a tunnel up in the mountains or foothills east of Salt Lake City.  They entered and began what might have been one of their most realistic Dungeons and Dragons experiences they would ever have.  Apparently they would explore the tunnel, stopping along the way to role the dice and battle it out with imaginary monsters, and then continue onward.

I asked him exactly what they experienced, however he seemed somewhat 
evasive about what the details were [and I'm not sure whether or not he knew all the details].  But he did state that from what they found, there must be well over 100 miles of tunnels below the Salt Lake Valley, and that one of them alone is over 20 miles long.  He stated that some of the tunnels are "T" sectioned at intervals with side passages going off in different directions, apparently to confuse those who might enter therein.  Some of his statements gave me the impression that certain of the tunnels may have existed there long before the Mormon pioneers migrated to Utah.  He stated that the D & D players eventually found themselves in the sub-basement of the Mormon Temple, and were promptly arrested for "tresspassing", in spite of their protests that they did not know where they were and did not know that they were trespassing.  One of the tunnels allegedly goes to West Jordon from the downtown SLC area.  Many of the entrances have reportedly been closed by officials.

Could this be further confirmation that a huge cavern-tunnel network exists below Utah which runs north into Idaho, east into Colorado, south into Arizona and west into Nevada, as at least one source claims?  

One example was given to me by a young man by the name of Todd.  
According to his description, a worker or custodian had entered a tunnel that had been penetrated within the lowest levels of the Crossroads Mall in Salt Lake City during the construction of the Crossroads Cinamas.  He entered and walked along underground for some time until he came face to face with a "serpent type man".  He immedietely retraced his steps and high-tailed it back to the surface and in absolute terror told several people what he had seen.  

Apparently the word got out as shortly after this the "cops" came in and sealed the tunnel up.  The "serpent" connection to the Crossroads area was ALSO revealed to me by a friend whose son in law worked night Security at Crossroads Mall.  When he first got the job he learned about the tunnels and expressed a desire to explore them, but one of the other workers told him that he should do it as his own risk as he might encounter [exact words] the "lizard people" down there and not return, as apparently some in the past who had entered the tunnels did not return.  I don't know why the aliens stayed away from the D&D teenagers, were they somehow aware that the role-players were ready to engage in deadly battle with any 'monsters' -- real or imaginary -- that came along? {smile}.

A younger Security worker claimed that he went down one tunnel below
Crossroads WITH the aforementioned Security worker after the Mall received a bomb threat.  They went down three levels and followed a long tunnel that led to two ancient wooden doors where the sub-basements of the Mormon temple would have been located.  The doors were locked.  In another area they saw a door under which they could see a strange greenish luminescence emerge.  The elder Security worker had been told that is was a "storage room", however they felt something strange about the room and decided not to look inside.  Some time later the younger security worker heard that some of the "sewer" tunnels under the streets of downtown Salt Lake City intercepted the old tunnels.  

Burning with curiosity he and a friend pulled up a manhole cover with a chain tied to his pickup one night, apparently in one of the alleys next to the Crossroads mall.  He seemed to know based on what he heard just which manhole cover to target.  They entered the "sewer" tunnel below and followed the tunnel some distance, at one point navigating their way over a cascading torrent of water.  They entered a square room with a metal floor and a trap door, which they lifted up revealing a metal ladder and an identical room below.

Actually all in all there turned out to be five descending rooms with trap doors which could only be opened from above.  They opened the doors and descended, leaving them open so they could return.  In one of the rooms they saw a tunnel which they followed north in the direction of the Mormon temple across the street from Crossroads Mall.  They looked through a door and saw a 300 ft. chamber in which two men in suits and carrying Uzi machine guns were pacing.  They had the feeling that they weren't there to guard against intruders like them from above, but intruders from below!  Apparently the Mormon leaders are aware of the reptilian infestation of the underground, especially below the Western states -- since the early 1900's.  

However it's not something they're going to announce at their next General Conference.  Some things just have to remain secret in order to prevent confusion and fear.  In many ways some of the large religious denominations are like the government when it comes to their motives for keeping the masses' heads buried in the sand.  They somehow believe that if they bury their heads in the sand then the "boogie man" won't get them.  Meanwhile the aliens down below continue to project their brain-bending mechanised beams up to those above in an effort to get a foothold in our unconscious minds.  And since the idea of serpent people underground intent on infiltrating our society does not exactly fit into their theology, they are not going to tell their followers about it and risk being laughed at and losing their flock.

This Security worker and his friend left that tunnel and entered the
lowest chamber by descending the ladder.  They found another tunnel
that led in the opposite direction and eventually came to a large cavern in which they saw what appeared to be a bottomless shaft.  They navigated around this pit and saw a large tunnel "big enough to drive a semi through" strung with lights ans heading southeast in the direction of Twin Peaks between Big and Little Cottonwood canyons, where some claim there is an enormous cavern that is being or was being jointly used by certain CIA, Gray, Sirian and Mt. Shastan intelligence agents... a huge base with underground connections to the Dulce network to the southeast and the Dreamland network to the southwest.  

Also in this tunnel they found three-toed footprints apparently made by a bi-ped creature.  They left the cave, and on their way out left the trap doors opened.  A few days later the young security worker heard that a Spanish lady who had a graveyard shift doing cleaning work in the mall had an experience that caused her to quit the next day.  While she was working, what she could only describe as a "demon" wobbled up to her, hissed in her face, and went on down the hall.  The younger security worker felt guilty because he thought that, being from a religious family and all, he had inadvertently open some door to the infernal regions.
     
Other sources claim that there are both humanoids and reptiloids
inhabiting this huge underground system, and that they are currently in an all out war with each other, one that is especially prevalent within the underground systems stretching between the main reptiloid center under the Archuleta plateau of New Mexico and the humanoid center under Death Valley California -- encompassing the states of Colorado, Utah, Arizona, Idaho and Nevada.
