Hellbent Posted November 5, 2012 Post here any real life secret passageways you know about. There is a pretty cool one in my grandfather's house. Maybe I'll make a short youtube video of it. 0 Share this post Link to post

kristus Posted November 5, 2012 In my family home. There was this crawl space that connected two attics allowing you to traverse over the staircase and make a sneaky escape from someone you might be playing chase with. 0 Share this post Link to post

Nomad Posted November 5, 2012 That wasn't very secret. You can see the hinges on the bookcase. 0 Share this post Link to post

Scypek2 Posted November 5, 2012 I have an about 0,5m x 1m rectangular tunnel going under the terrace and directly connecting garden with the cellar. I also have almost invisible back enterance to the greenhouse. In my primary school, there was an always closed locker-room functioning as a storage and with a mysterious dark tunnel leading to nowhere. 0 Share this post Link to post
Nomad Posted November 6, 2012 fraggle said:How's this? That's pretty awesome. Also, I'm reminded of The Amazing Johnathan who I've seen some parts of his house on TV and he's got all kinds of secret passages and rooms in there :) 0 Share this post Link to post
printz Posted November 6, 2012 There are secret areas hidden throughout the city. They're military strategic points, such as nuclear bombardment shelters. 0 Share this post Link to post

Chopkinsca Posted November 6, 2012 The hospital for the insane that I was in had underground tunnels. We used to traffic candy and snacks by making use of these tunnels. 0 Share this post Link to post

I wonder how long those tunnels will exist before making them permanently inaccessible becomes a more financially viable option than keeping them maintained? :( What often happens with tunnels like that is it becomes most financially viable to use them for something like pipes or cables. I remember reading an article a while ago about a company in NYC that was trying to repurpose old pneumatic-mail tubes into fibre conduits. I don't know how far that got. 0 Share this post Link to post

Could it possibly be the same hospital where The Prodigy filmed their official music video for the song "Take Me To The Hospital" ? I love that song and that video! 0 Share this post Link to post
