  HowStuffWorks "Richard Sharpe Shaver, UFO Hoaxster"
Their incessant chatter drove Shaver to desperate acts that landed him in mental hospitals and prisons.
While Shaver was serving time in a prison, a woman materialized and whisked him away to a cavern underneath the Earth where she and her fellow teros, though badly outnumbered, battled the dero hordes.
The Shaver episode, which started just before the UFO age and faded from all but fringe view after its first year, set a standard for tall tales that others would have to scramble to match.

  Richard Sharpe Shaver - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The controversy stemmed from the fact that Shaver and his editor/publisher Ray Palmer claimed Shaver's writings, while presented in the guise of fiction, were fundamentally true.
Laner notes that, in a 1971 interview, Palmer reported that "Shaver had spent eight years not in the Cavern World, but in a mental institution." Despite this fact, Palmer would insist that he thought the Shaver Mystery was genuine, though he suggested it occured in a psychic, astral way rather than in everyday physical reality.
Shaver's Dero have also appeared in SubGenius mythology and are prominent in the work of artist Jermaine Rogers.

Shaver's stories—and all they claimed to explain—were promoted by Palmer as "The Shaver Mystery." Shaver wrote of tremendously advanced pre-historic races who had built cavern cities inside the earth before abandoning our earth for another planet.
Shaver claimed first-hand knowledge of the Dero and their caves.
Between 1945 and 1949, letters poured in attesting to the truth of Shaver's claims (tens of thousands of letters, according to Palmer): the correspondents, too, had heard strange voices or encountered denizens of the hollow earth.

 Shaver the Surrealist
While viewers unfamiliar with the saga of Shaver and Palmer often wonder about the mix of fact and fiction in the exhibit (some conclude I made the whole thing up), the facts of Shaver's biography and his beliefs are presented as accurately as possible.
Shaver chose the painting "Amazons Defending Against the Attack of the Ape Bats" to introduce his paintings to the world in the book The Ancient Earth-Its Story in Stone, which is included as part of Ray Palmer's The Secret World.
Shaver frequently posed for pictures with the "Ape Bats" painting - it was clearly a proud achievement - and I was thrilled to be able to include it in the show.

While Shaver was still alive back in the 60s, PK Dick, who lived here in the San Francisco Bay area, did not fail to take notice of Richard Shaver in his novel, "Confessions of a Crap Artist," though it was a scant DERO-gatory sentence or two.

Oddly enough, it wasn't the UFO controversy that angered a contingent of Palmer's readers as much as Shaver's claim that he had been a visitor to the fabled Inner Earth, and lived for a time in a hidden world populated in part by evil mutations associated with the demons and devils of old.
Shaver had always warned that the cavern world was hidden for good reason, and that cavern dwellers liked to keep it that way.

Shaver was working as a welder at a Ford auto plant in Michigan during the 1930s when he began to hear voices in his head.
Shaver believed that his welding gun was acting as a receiver, allowing him to telepathically listen in to the broadcasted thought-waves of a hideous race of inner-earth inhabitants that he referred to as "Detrimental Robots," or Deros.
After listening to these voices for many months Shaver came to believe that the Deros were descendants of a technologically advanced society that had once lived on the surface of the earth.

 Cynical-C Blog - » Richard Sharpe Shaver
The controversy stemmed from the fact that Shaver and his editor/publisher Ray Palmer claimed Shaver’s writings, while presented in the guise of fiction, were fundamentally true.
As Bruce Lanier Wright notes, Shaver “began to notice that one of the welding guns on his job site, ‘by some freak of its coil’s field atunements,’ was allowing him to read the thoughts of the men working around him.
Barkun writes that “Shaver was hospitalized briefly for psychiatric problems in 1934, but there does not appear to have been a clear diagnosis.”[2] Barkun notes that afterwards, Shaver’s whereabouts and actions cannot be reliably traced until the early 1940s.

Until Richard Sharpe Shaver came along, nearly all nineteenth- and twentieth-century hollowearth proponents spoke of the inner world's inhabitants as members of an advanced, benevolent race whom it would be desirable for human beings to meet and befriend.
Shaver alleged that for years he was tormented by evil creatures known as "deros"-short for "detrimental robots" (who were not robots as the term is ordinarily understood but "robots" in the sense of being slaves to their passions).

 Hollow Earth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The magazine's editor, Ray Palmer, ran a series of stories by Richard Sharpe Shaver supposedly claimed as factual, though presented in the context of fiction.
Shaver claimed that a superior pre-historic race had built a honeycomb of caves in the Earth, and that their degenerate descendants, known as "Dero", live there still, using the fantastic machines abandoned by the ancient races to torment those of us living on the surface.
As one characteristic of this torment, Shaver described "voices" that purportedly came from no explainable source.

 Postcard from Magonia
However, the greatest influence on Holland was probably Richard Sharpe Shaver (c.1908-1975), a science fiction writer whose strange tales were published in the popular magazine Amazing Stories in the 1940s.
Although many of the stories were authored by the editor of the magazine himself, Ray Palmer, only the name of Richard Shaver was attached to them.
Shaver’s version of the history of the Earth differed very little from that of his predecessors.
