Urban explorer's eerie finds in tunnel above road make him run for his life

Urban explorers have captured some eerie images of items left abandoned in a tunnel hidden beneath a busy main road, including a discarded padlock, police tape, and a rusty nail.

And they were so spooked by what they found that they scarpered out of the spooky tunnel "as fast as humanly possible".

They discovered the gloomy passageway beneath a busy road, which lies underneath a railway track, reports NorthWalesLive.

Among the items they found included an empty deckchair facing the wall, something that would not look out of place if it appeared in the 1990s cult horror film The Blair Witch Project.

One explorer, who asked not to be named, said they had to "squeeze and crouch, and at one point scrape along our bellies" and described "a growing sense of claustrophobia between us".

"The distance from end to the other is surprisingly long, but by the halfway point you can look down through narrow gaps onto the motorway below which helped keep us calm, in a strange way," they said.

But that was "about to change dramatically" when they reached the halfway point.

They added: "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.

"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.

"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."

  • A rusty nail on the floor as they took their first step inside the tunnel
