I discovered a ‘torture dungeon’ of hidden rooms and passageways under my house
Was it the chamber of secrets?
A homeowner was floored after detailing how he discovered an Indiana Jones-esque labyrinth of hidden chambers and tunnels underneath his home.
“Found a network of tunnels and rooms under my house,” the gobsmacked fellow wrote in a viral Reddit post alongside screenshots of his spine-tingling find.
The photos depict stairs leading down into a basement, various dark passageways, and a maze-like area with multiple doorways.
Also shown are some very macabre-looking quarters, including a dingy, cell-like room with a grate on the floor and a shaft of light poking through the ceiling.
Another chamber features exposed piping and a single LED light illuminating the shambolic surroundings.
“The tunnels just keep going,” exclaimed the Redditor, who estimated there were five rooms in total, some of which featured running water while others had power.
The purpose of these subterranean chambers is unclear, but he pointed out that there were “many stained blankets, with perhaps blood.”
Redditors had their own guesses as to the function of the underground network.
“Congrats. You now have your very own torture dungeon,” quipped one, while another wrote, “Time to move. The serial killer is coming back.
Others compared it to the subterranean lairs in horror films such as “The Silence of the Lambs” and “Barbarian.”
However, a few were less impressed. “Isn’t that just called a ‘basement’?” commented one nonplussed commenter.
Armchair interior designers even floated suggestions for how to renovate the space.
“Clean the place out and you got a nice hidden bomb shelter for the days to come,” suggested one.
Another wrote, “Brother, you need to totally clean that place up and turn it into a nice bar or hangout spot.”
However, hygiene-minded posters deemed the area a health hazard rife with dangers ranging from mold to asbestos and even carbon monoxide.
The original poster even noted in the comments, “There’s so much mold lol, I filmed a DJ set down there for an hour and I feel like my lungs have never been the same.”
This isn’t the first time someone’s discovered a peculiar passageway underneath their home.
In 2023, a woman sent shivers down the internet’s collective spine after uploading a video of a creepy hidden room behind her basement cupboard, which had children’s handprints on the walls and locked from the inside.
