I just got book at the library and looked him up and here he is doing an interview. The book's about how the world is completely snaked with tunnels and catacombs where mole people (wMw etc.) live. He meets strange people and goes camping in caves and tunnels and shit. Stuff about underground life forms and the psychology and anthropology of the... Roger Wilco will know what I mean when I say, the chthonic. |

The next time he went down into a cave, he didn't have as nice a stay. This cave was in Texas. Siffre was well-equipped and the cave was more pleasant in terms of temperature and atmosphere. Internal clocks had become a hot topic in science since his last stay in a cave, and Siffre wanted to tamper with his. He was trying to get on a 48-hour cycle. After two months he became horrifically depressed. His cycles eventually fluctuated between 18 and 52 hours. His lowest moment came when, after he'd spent days watching a mouse loot his food stores, he tried to catch it to have some kind of company, and accidentally killed it. During the experiment he had electrodes attached to his head, to monitor his progress. One day there was a lightning storm, and the electrodes gave him agonizing shocks. He was too disoriented by depression to realize how to make the pain stop until he'd been shocked three times. Despite the extreme depression, Siffre kept up doing isolation experiments in caves. He considered his six-month isolation experiment worsened by the fact that the atmosphere in the cave ruined the record player and magazines he used to keep his mind occupied. Granted, that probably didn't help, but how much music can anyone listen to? he should have tried writing it instead |
