This terrible story was recently mentioned on the English site about paranormal phenomena Mysterious Universe. The author frankly admitted that except for one small mention in the paper about this case he never could find any confirmation. So what is it then fake or a belated April fool's joke? Or maybe a real case, which hastened to hide from the public? The story was described in the newspaper Extra in the News release of July 14, 1974.

In the article it was reported that in 1944 Barger Glenn E. (Glenn E. Barger), being an inspector of mines, claimed that 15 miners were eaten alive by unknown predators. It happened, supposedly near the small town of Dixonville, Pennsylvania and officially to the families of the miners, it was announced that all those 15 people were killed during the collapse. He Burger was caused by the administering of mine once collapsed, so he helped to find the missing miners. When it was partially cleared passage, the inspector along with his partner Ted Walters entered the area where the miners worked and the first found the bodies.

According to Barger, the first body they came across, looked not injured from falling stones or earth masses, and the like, he was tormented by strong animal. In addition the corpse was missing part of the body, as if the beast ate her. The bodies of the other victims looked similar. It would seem, what could be worse than to see such a sight in the dark and not know who would do this to a person. Only to get stuck for a while there, under the earth next to these bodies that fell to the lot of Barger and his partner, as they have had problems with the return. While the inspectors waited for reinforcements, Burger from fatigue dozed off.

He woke up from what someone was right next to him, and that someone was his partner, and an unknown humanoid creature.

"I have for some time fell asleep. Briefly, perhaps only for a few minutes. I woke up from that straight to my face someone's hot breath. This creature was not of this world. Then (when being left) and my mate sat and thought about the fact that with us there will be. I swear at any moment I was waiting for this terrible thing to drag both of us with you."

Later, the inspector made the assumption that the collapse was specifically caused by these creatures in order to lure the miners into a trap. Rescuers came for the inspectors only a few hours later the place was closed, nobody else to disturb these creatures.
