Mystery of Coral Castle

Vasili 4 years ago

It is amazing how Edvards "Edward" Leedskalnin build his castle without any help. His only relative, his nephew named Harry inherited his castle. Edward has a older brother. He never told his methods to anyone, not even his brother, sister-in-law, and his nephew how he build his Coral Castle, and he passed away in his sleep at 64. There are no living descendants of Edward Leedskalnin.

I drove to Coral Castle all the way from my home in North Charleston non stop for my vacation in October of 2007. Gosh that was a drive but I've never had a better vacation. My impression of the place was that it was somewhat "essoteric" in its' design. I felt that people who believe in the occult would love this place, I know I sure did and sure do. Also, it impressed me as a wonderful place to "party" and seemed to me that it would be perfectly logical for Ed and a group of his buddies to be in there drinking a few late at night. I mean I don't say that in a bad way, he had the grill thing made from that antique car parts, and let's face it, if people were drunk in there, they couldn't really break anything because everything was solid coral and many tons. I don't mean any disrespect. The grounds were beautifully kept, beautiful landscaping by whomever takes care of the landscaping there. I felt that the place was powerful and that a tank would have a hard time getting through those walls! I tried to open my mind while I was there. I had done a lot of reading about it before I went and almost couldn't stop myself from going. I was and still am convinced that there may be underground rooms that Ed made that are yet to be discovered. I felt that there may be some secret thing under the Florida table and tried my best to look around under there. I kept sort of sensing some sort of secret access point to allow enternace to something yet undiscovered. I was picking up something from the two beds that were outdoors. For lack of a better description I'll call them the king and queen outdoor beds. I'm convinced that there is a tunnel system or a staircase leading to a room under the queens bed. Now remember, there was a six ton thing that moved freely with the push of a hand and and of course the nine ton gate that could be moved with a finger. I sincearly feel that perhaps the Florida table and the queens bed could be moved as easily if some secret latch system were to be figured out and that there are underground rooms. I brought this up with the young tour guide there and he said, "Oh man, you can't be right, don't you think someone would have already found it out by now?" But think about it. We see the castle above the ground there. Why not make rooms and cellars and tunnels under there too. To top it all off, someone claimed that upon going down the steps and into the water of the water well that Ed made there was a room and some of Eds' tools were actually found there. There is no doubt that one subterranean room exists, my personal belief is that there are more. As I kept reaching out with my hands and my mind, I was also drawn to the roof of the living quarters. I had no way to get up there without getting myself arrested in the process, but I felt that there was something mysterious up there. Like there was some secret thing up there, where nobody could easily get to. My attention kept being called to the roof of the living quarters. I don't mean any disrespect when I say this, in fact, I mean this as a compliment. I looked at every picture of Ed that was available and in one of the pictures on the computer, it seemed that his hands were not quite the same as human hands. I'm saying they were "better" than human hands. and I think we all can agree that he proved that himself. Let me go to South Miami and try to do the same and I bet I'd fail. If anyone could do what he did, I sure wish they'd go there, extract coral slabs and do it! I mean I might could go to south Miami and rent a building and make and sell pizzas for a living but I doubt I could do anything like this! Coral Castle took my breath away. Some think that the Sphinx has an underground chamber and some think and perhaps it's true that the pyramids have subterranean rooms. Perhaps it's fact. I like to believe, I want to believe and I do believe, that Eds place in Florida, has secrets yet undiscovered. I found the carved face, the carved head in the wall, very essoteric indeed, if I'm using the right word by using the word essoteric, and I believe that if he wasn't going to something, then something was surely going to him! I mean just if you people know what I mean. I sat in some of the chairs and tried to sense what I could sence. I just found them very comfortable. I remember thinking "how comfortable for rock..." I went to the telescope and tried to open my mind. I was passing my hands over the sun dial and receive impressions. I walked outside all around the walls and I walked inside all around the walls. The people in the giftshop who were watching me on video camera and this young tour guide found me a bit strange, but the average person wouldn't understand what I was trying to do there. Is that a house like a human could build, the answer is no. Yet he built it and lived there. Is that a house like a human would build, once again the answer is no. At the best he was five feet two inches tall and 120 pounds. If that wasn't an alien, if that wasn't some sort of super human, human being, I'm saying if that wasn't a man with an IQ through the stratosphere, I just don't know what. I mean I wish the dude would have built one in every state! I'm going back there next October and I'm going to see if I can't get permission to go up on that roof and do an extensive search to try to prove my theories about the underground rooms.

To Thomas Haberthaler:you are aware that after ed was mugged and beat up he moved the whole thing to the present site- if he did in fact build underground it would be at his first site...

To the person who commented to me, you might be absolutely spot on just exactly right. At the first location, there may be underground rooms with much interesting remaining there. Muggers and robbers wouldnt have tried to mug and rob unless they caught wind of something he had. Thats how criminols work. So when Ed moved he became all the more mysterious after this barberic attack. He knew what other people around him were capeable of then. But so far I have only visited the second location. Something is out of proportion involving the rock quarry. The ammount of rock involved with the building of this wonderful place excedes the ammount of rock taken from the obvious quarry. In fact, maybe the whole tourist attraction is the disguise. Maybe that is to draw your attention to that, and away from the "real treasure." I feel the same about the temple of Petra. Beautiful yes, but perhaps designed to draw the attention of the multitudes to there, and away from somewhere or something else. I dont believe the treasure is gold or silver, I believe the hidden treasure is something else. Something better! Something breathtaking!
