Category Archives: Mysterious Tunnels

An unguarded opening, black, no light penetrating the depths, gives way to a group of explorers who hope to have the experience of a lifetime in search of fame and riches. Heavy with equipment and supplies, the explorers bid farewell to the sun and descend into the unknown and beyond. That could be a line from any of the popular literature or cinema that has documented man’s obsession with the mysterious hidden tunnels that dot the Earth. From Jules Verne to modern Hardy Boys and R.L. Stine, horror and mystery have always gone to the tunnel as a place where mystery abounds. But do these fictitious tunnels have a basis in reality? Their stories sure do. Whether those stories are to be believed is up to the reader, but the legends of the tunnels persist no matter what skeptics try to say.
