Man finds abandoned railway after going down eerie stairway in his basement

A man explored a cave hidden 30ft beneath his house after finding a secret staircase that led there - and soon he discovered an abandoned railway under his home.

The man, named Steven, was filmed entering the cave by his cousin, Maya, who shared a video of the Indian Jones style excursion with her 113,000 followers.

As the Daily Star reports, in the video, she follows Steven to the basement and heads to a door with a sign next to it, saying: "Enter cave at your own risk."

The daring duo then open the door and discover a flight of stairs that lead to a pitch-black cave, and the two of them venture down to see what they can find.

As Steven turns on the light, he says: "I think it's like a safe place, the underground railroad is like 30ft underground."

Maya follows Steven behind and says: "I don't want to go down there, are there any ghosts?"

Steven reassures her that there was nothing further down but just empty space, but he adds: "Unfortunately the two lights down there were out so be careful. This is some Indiana Jones s**t."

He turns out the torch on his phone and carries on heading down the stairs while Maya is freaking out, murmuring: "I'm only wearing flip flops. I ain't coming down."

Steven waits for her at the bottom of the stairs and tells her there's nothing but bricked walls and railroad tracks in the cave.

In a follow-up video, Steven can be heard describing the different bricks, stating that the red brick was added by the owner of the home most previous to him, while the darker brick was there before.

He said the cave led to a tunnel, which was blocked off at the end when a street was built over it and added that the house had previously been a farmland.

"Oh hell no, there's no way that this isn't haunted," a third added.
