Catacombs of Paris

The Catacombs of Paris is an underground tomb filled with millions of human bones. It's a complex system of tunnels that was once an ancient site. First made to extend the old city's full cemetery, and then it became a vast ossuary to lay the dead to rest. During the 18th century, work was done to tidy it up and the skeletons were used to adorn the walls. During the 19th century, the Catacombs was opened as a public display and thus began tourism there in the beautifully made tomb. It's full of mysteries and hauntings. There are strange disappearances and stories of people driven mad while exploring the catacombs. Entering the so-called Gate of Hell, the labyrinth is more frightening further inside. Deeper in the catacombs is an eerie silence. While passages are marked to show people around, there's still a danger of wandering off into oblivion. What's more scary is the fact there are no phone signals down in the catacombs. One particular victim of the catacomb is Philibert Aspairt who died while exploring the catacombs. Addicts of the catacombs (people who keep going back there) are nicknamed cataphiles. These were responsible for having parties in the catacombs, which annoyed the Paris authorities, so various locations were sealed off. It should also be warned that the catacombs can flood, and there are rats living inside them!
