Mysterious tunnels in the world

There is something incredibly fascinating about the world right under our feet. The dark night, the suffocating fear, the cold feeling on the back of your neck when you enter the mysterious place… that’s not to mention the creepy thing.

The underground worlds in the article below are extremely scary and discovering one of them also makes the insider feel like sleeping in a nightmare.

In 1952, a restaurant owner in Titulcia (a landmark near the capital Madrid) made a startling discovery: buried behind the wall of his restaurant was a small, seemingly ancient cave system. ancient and it included many secret symbols.

The walls are hand-built, the ceiling domes hidden under the white plaster. Strange chapels lurk beneath a series of dusty corridors. The walls were covered with what appeared to be ancient painting.

To this day, no one knows who has worked so hard to create this mysterious underworld. According to the documents related to “Moon Cave”, anyone is responsible for creating the mysterious cave from the Romans to the Knights Templar.

Some people think that inside the cave is hiding some supernatural energy and there is a feeling of horror when stepping inside. For a long time, the owner of the restaurant did business as usual and did not know that beneath his restaurant there was another mysterious world.

Imagine a long-forgotten network of underground tunnels, tunnels stretching like a spider’s web just below the busy city of Liverpool.

Even the local government is ignorant of the existence of underground tunnels. Or even the old people of Liverpool are not aware of the underground tunnels that exist. This is completely true. In the 19th century, tobacco merchant Joseph Williamson ordered the construction of a network of tunnels that stretched for miles without many people knowing.

It wasn’t until 2001, that some locals, while digging into the ground, learned that there was an underground world underneath their house. Since then, people have been pouring trash into the tunnels and don’t care who built them.

From what is unearthed, authorities say the network of tunnels stretches almost endlessly. Some claim that they were made to contain smuggled tobacco. There are also many who believe that the merchant William was a member of a occult cult, and that he built the tunnels in preparation for the apocalypse.

In many ways, Qingdao province in China is a very unusual place. It was once ruled by the Germans in the 19th century, where it still retains European architecture and culture. The most enduring legacy of colonial rule, however, is the tunnels.

Fearing attack by the British, the Germans dug a huge network of tunnels located just below the city of Qingdao. Although some of the tunnels are open to tourists today, many are still flooded or inaccessible.

But the scariest are still the tunnels located in the deepest places. Deep below the earth’s surface is a place where humans can’t live, instead these tunnels become the kingdom of Huntsman spiders to live.

There are huge spiders here. Huntsman spiders are very aggressive, they are ready to chase and attack anything if they feel threatened. While this spider’s venom is not toxic to humans, it still leaves a painful sensation in the brain.

The present fate of Fort Ostwall in Poland is as intriguing as its past. This huge underground tunnel complex was built by the Nazis in the 1930s to protect against Soviet aggression, the size of which is the size of a small city.

Linked to 100 small houses spread over an area of 25 miles, which is enough to live for about 24,000 people. In fact, only a small handful hid in the underground tunnels when the Soviet Red Army entered, and they were quickly overwhelmed. And decades later, some underground tunnels turned into so-called “homes” for tens of thousands of bats to reside. Today, these fortified steel tunnels are home to 37,000 bats, making Fort Ostwall the largest man-made Bat Refuge in Europe.

At night, the corridors are noisy with the sound of bats flapping their wings. During the day, the ceilings look like a nightmare with bats crawling around. Part of the tunnel is open to visitors today, while the other half is restricted to visit.

Even if you live in New York you’re unlikely to have heard of Tunnel 3. It was one of the largest construction projects in New York City history, involving a large diameter aqueduct. 3.6m runs for miles under the city to provide clean drinking water for residents. Built in 1970 and it will probably open in 2021. Since the start of construction this tunnel has occurred many mysterious deaths for workers inside, a total of 24 people have died during the project. This, or an average of one death per mile of tunnels, fuels the anomalous narratives. Although no one has died while making this tunnel for many years, but the horror rumors about it continue to spread.

Like Europe, much of Asia is still haunted by the tragedy of World War II. Not many places in Japan have the same level of obsession as the top-secret underground complex on the island of Okinawa. Built by Rear Admiral Minoru Ota, the complex is hundreds of meters long and can accommodate thousands of people.

When U.S. Marines overran Okinawa on June 11, 1945, the underground tunnel complex transformed from a military fortress into one of the darkest places in the world: mass graves. Along with 2,000 subordinates, Rear Admiral Minoru Ota committed suicide to avoid being captured alive. The US Marines blew up the entrances to the underground complex and sealed them off for years.

When the underground complex was finally reopened in the 1950s, it was littered with human remains. Today, the complex still reeks of the deadly scent of a mass suicide.

On one wall there are also traces of a soldier who committed suicide with a grenade. Some places in the complex also left scribbled messages from Rear Admiral Minoru Ota. Walking inside this place, one had a chilling feeling as if someone was walking behind them.

The Anzob tunnel system in Tajikistan contains neither secrets nor darkness. The main entrance of the tunnel system linking the North and South of the country stretches for 5km right in a mountain range. The horror of the Anzob tunnel is based on the fact that not everyone who enters here is lucky to come out alive.

Inside the tunnel was pitch-black darkness, sometimes illuminated by the headlights of traffic. Often there is a phenomenon of falling rocks or floods creating “elephant holes” strong enough to engulf a car. The most terrible thing is that there is no ventilation system inside the tunnel.

And yet, there is also a thick fog of death throughout the 5km tunnel route, blocking all views and poisoning anyone who unfortunately can’t get out. There are often deaths from suffocation when entering the tunnel. Locals call Anzob “Temple of Fear”.

Located near the Austrian border, the Znojmo catacombs complex in the Czech Republic is a place away from most tourists.

This small town holds an oddly hidden secret. Located just below the tracks, is a chain of catacombs that are all connected to the historic houses. Initially, the catacombs were built to serve as refuge for the inhabitants in the event of a foreign invasion.

The catacombs are quite long, with many winding paths and fairly rudimentary construction. The underground catacombs are like a copy of the above-ground architecture.

Today, parts of the tunnel are open to visitors, while others are occasionally explored by well-equipped uber drivers. Local people believe that the Znojmo tunnel is a hiding place for vampires and goblins. After the night, no one dared to go inside the tunnel.

The route to the old tunnel system of Birmingham seemed to be lost in another world. Stretching for many miles just below the ground of the UK’s second largest city is a network of labyrinths built in 1936 and used during World War II as an air defense shelter. factory combination.

Completely abandoned for many years, this underground system today contains many mysteries. Designed to be invisible to the Luftwaffe planes, no natural rays of sunlight penetrated the interior of this maze, so entering the dungeon was like descending into darkness. .

A few years ago, a Mini Clubman was discovered deep in the dungeon. More strangely, on the clock hands of the car, it only shows exactly 11 miles. Who abandoned this car right in a hard to find place in the heart of the dungeon? That will still be a hard-to-answer mystery.

What could be scarier than when someone has literally found the entrance to hell? You may have heard of the “gate to hell” in Turkmenistan which is actually a gas hole discovered by Soviet experts in 1971 and continues to burn until today. The case in Türkiye is different.

The story goes that, in 2013, archaeologists discovered an ancient gate that the Greeks believed was the way to hell. Popularly known as the Pluto Gate , this gate is built above a cave and often emits many extremely poisonous auras.

In the 6th century BC, priests used to stand at the entrance to the gate, and push animals to hell and drag their bodies out as they suffocated. Ancient writers often described hell as like a tunnel filled with thick smoke, and any animal that fell into it would meet an instant and terrible death. Today the place is a ruin.

But this hidden entrance still sprays poisonous smoke capable of killing any unlucky bird that gets too close. And people should not be foolish to approach it or they will die suddenly. Such was the warning of the ancients.
