Here's a story I came across looking for more material on the Tape from Hell:
A Muscovite named Stanislav Dolgher and his wife bought a dacha (cottage) lot in a village outside Moscow and began working on its development. Since the nearest water source was 500 m away, they decided that they needed a well. According to their neighbours, the water in that area was 7 m deep. In spring, Stanislav ordered 8 concrete rings and began digging on his own, working on the weekends. Every weekend he would go up to 1 m into the ground and then drive back to the capital so the rings could settle evenly.
Weird things began happening when he got to the sixth ring – 6 m deep into the ground. He began hearing clear voices – male, female and children’s. The language was sharp and reminded German. Stanislav compared the voices to those in a regular household – sometimes everything was quiet, sometimes they were talking at the same time, as if quarrelling and interrupting one another. Suspicions that it was his wife talking to the neighbours weren't confirmed. Stanislav thought there was something wrong with his head but he had to rule out that option: every time he climbed up from the hole, the sound of voices would get weaker and disappear on the ground level – they were not inside his head all the time, he realized. In his own words, the voices were ‘tied up to a specific location’. His wife was much too scared to go down and listen.
Stanislav had another idea – suppose there was a secret bunker or an underground base nearby. But no-one in the village heard of such facility. He even considered the possibility of phone cables leaking sound – but who would dig 6 m deep to lay cable? So Stanislav has come to the only remaining conclusion – that he had been digging right near a residence of gnomes or some other subterranean creatures. He even stopped digging for a while waiting for something bad to happen, but nothing extraordinary took place on his lot or around it. So he resumed his digging which was uneventful – other than a constant animated chatter of invisible voices right above his head. He went one more meter down into the ground and in the evening went back to Moscow. When he returned the following weekend there was already water splashing around in the well. There was nothing unusual about it – regular taste, as a test from a local health lab showed.
