This topic is fascinating, blending urban legends, historical mysteries, and speculative theories into a compelling narrative. Here's how I view it:
Intriguing Points:
- Historical Basis: Some of the stories, like the tunnels beneath LA and Warren Shelt’s discovery, have roots in historical records. The 1934 LA Times article on the "lizard people" city provides an intriguing mix of mythology and urban exploration.
- Real Infrastructure: Many cities, including Los Angeles, have documented underground systems like subways, service tunnels, and prohibition-era passageways. These facts add plausibility to the existence of extensive hidden structures.
- Unanswered Questions: The idea of tunnel boring machines and unexplained noises in residential areas suggests there might be undisclosed construction projects or natural underground phenomena worth investigating.
- Global Patterns: Similar stories from Chicago, Brazil, and Mexico suggest that hidden underground systems might be more common than we realize.
Skeptical Points:
- Speculative Connections: Claims of “lizard people” or secret civilizations often lack hard evidence and veer into pseudoscience or urban mythology.
- Media and Misinformation: Many of these stories originate from anecdotal accounts, TikTok videos, or unsourced “discoveries,” making them difficult to verify.
- Disappearing Individuals: While Lex LaVine's absence from TikTok is strange, attributing it to her tunnel exploration may just be coincidental.
Broader Implications:
- If these tunnels are real and undocumented, they raise questions about why such spaces exist and who controls or accesses them.
- Speculations about hidden civilizations or underground cities often reflect broader societal fascinations with the unknown and fears of government secrecy.
My Take:
While some claims can likely be explained through existing infrastructure, geological phenomena, or hoaxes, the topic taps into our natural curiosity about what lies hidden beneath our feet. Investigating these stories further—scientifically and historically—could shed light on the balance between myth and reality. Do you find yourself leaning toward curiosity, skepticism, or a mix of both on this topic?

Dallas, Texas, has a notable underground structure associated with the Cityplace Tower. Originally, plans included two towers, but only one was completed, along with an extensive underground parking facility. The parking map indicates multiple garages and ramps beneath the tower.
In Kansas City, Missouri, there are historical underground spaces, including Prohibition-era passageways and underground caves. Some of these areas have been explored and documented, revealing a hidden layer of the city's past.
Regarding DeWitt County and Victoria, Texas, there is no widely known information about significant underground complexes. Local construction companies, such as Morris Underground Construction, specialize in underground utility services, but these are standard infrastructural developments.
In the surrounding major cities:
Houston: Features an extensive system of tunnels approximately 20 feet below street level, spanning more than six miles. These tunnels connect various buildings and house numerous restaurants and shops.
San Antonio: Home to the San Antonio River Tunnel, a flood diversion project approximately 16,200 feet long and 24 feet in diameter, designed to manage floodwaters and protect the downtown area.
Austin: There are reports of hidden tunnels beneath the city, including connections from the Bertram Building (now the Clay Pit restaurant) to the Texas State Capitol. These tunnels have historical significance and have been subjects of local interest.
These examples highlight the diverse underground structures present in various Texas cities, each serving unique purposes from transportation and commerce to flood management and historical intrigue.

Building an underground structure near the Guadalupe River in DeWitt County, Texas, involves several considerations:
Floodplain Regulations: Proximity to the river may place your property within a designated floodplain. In such areas, any development typically requires a Floodplain Development Permit. This ensures that construction complies with regulations aimed at minimizing flood risk. It's essential to consult with local authorities to determine specific requirements for your property.
Soil Composition: The soil in DeWitt County varies, with some areas characterized by sandy loam transitioning to dense clay pan soils. The Cuero series, for instance, consists of deep, well-drained, moderately permeable soils formed in loamy materials weathered from sandstone. Understanding the specific soil type on your property is crucial, as it affects the feasibility and design of underground structures.
Groundwater Considerations: Given the proximity to the river, the groundwater table may be relatively high. A high water table can pose challenges for underground construction, including potential water ingress and structural instability. Conducting a thorough geotechnical survey will provide insights into groundwater levels and soil stability.
Consultation with Professionals: Engaging with local engineers, architects, and county officials is advisable. They can offer guidance tailored to your property's specific conditions and ensure compliance with all relevant regulations.
In summary, while constructing an underground structure near the Guadalupe River is possible, it requires careful planning, adherence to floodplain regulations, and a detailed understanding of the site's geotechnical characteristics.
