An excerpt from A Cave of Whispering Secrets:
The Mysterious World Underfoot
"What kind of noises?" Deb said.
Terri picked up Deb's empty coffee mug and tapped it with her non-existent fingernails.
"Well, that's the part that got my attention, to tell you the truth. I'm sure you remember how the cave entrance is close to the maintenance shed around back? Apparently one of the janitors was out there for a while a couple of weeks ago. The whole time, something in the cave was tapping."
"Tapping? Like you're doing right now, even though you know it gets on my nerves?"
Terri stared into Deb's eyes and nodded slowly, continuing her increasingly more annoying random noise.
"Like this, yes. Other folks have heard what sounds like deep breathing, or a rumble like a train was going by under there." She paused—thankfully both talking and tapping—as more distant thunder muttered outside. "One of them mentioned it sounded like a thunderstorm underground."
