Creepy find in tunnel under bridge gives explorers 'sense of dread like never before'

Urban explorers have posted eerie photos from inside a tunnel under one of the busiest spots in North Wales.

The explorers, who wish to remain anonymous, discovered a concealed passage running underneath a bridge across the A55 at Colwyn Bay.

As first reported by North Wales Live, the group entered the tunnel through a "heavy steel lidded manhole" and climbed down steel steps. Then they tried to cross to the other side of the bridge.

The space was described as "claustrophobic" and the distance from one end of the tunnel to the other was surprisingly long.

At the halfway point, the explorers say they were able to look down through narrow gaps onto the motorway below which helped keep them calm, "in a strange way".

However, that feeling was "about to change dramatically".

The group recalled seeing objects in the distance at the far end of the tunnel, so they carried on further.

They explained: "We reached the end, and let me tell you, We have never felt the same sense of dread before or since.

"In front of us was a single fold-away chair positioned facing a wall.

"On the wall was a partially torn page from a newspaper, or a magazine, showing a fully naked lady in an erotic position.

"I can't put my finger on it but it seemed more sinister than sexy if that makes any sense.

"The scene that lay before us had rendered us completely speechless, and an overpowering sense of panic could be felt collectively."

They went on to say that the whole thing made them want to leave "as fast as humanly possible".

"Needless to say we got out of tunnel, as fast as humanly possible, smashing our knees and shins against the sharp cement edges, that lined the path to the ladder by which we had entered," they added.

"Of course, we were all praying to God that the man-hole hadn't been re-sealed, as it was impossible to tell until you reached the ladder itself.

"Thankfully the exit route was clear, and we promptly dashed as far away as our legs could carry us."
