I was doing some drainage design work in Old South BR a couple decades ago and decided to go in that tunnel. I didn't make 25 yards before I chickened out. I was by myself, and I didn't feel like dying that day.

There's a huge underground room where devil worshipers go to sacrifice and smoke weed. I've seen the pentagrams at the entrance.


Yep, and they backmask old Black Sabbath records.

Yeah, I would have to have night vision goggles with thermal imaging and a handgun to feel safe in there.

The deaf dumb and blind Asylum was across the street from that house, according to a 1862 map.

Maybe it was an escape route

BR should've learned back then that people in this town just don't ride public transportation. Should've run more studies, I suppose.

It’s mostly the roaches I’d be worried about. I hate roaches.

Getting stuck with a hypodermic needle down there will give you more than that.

They sure put lipstick on that pig of a house.

Someone probably bought that house for $75k and is trying to make a quick flip. They started out at $160,000
