The short video with the historian denying underground tunnels is priceless Reporter: "what about this blocked up tunnel? Historian: *sweating bullets* "I explored that when I was ten."

.. I actually know this man and his son! He has been running a walking tour business in Vic for decades and his son took it on as well. Both really nice folks, but I would suspect that they would try their very best NOT to upset their financial stability by opening the floodgates to deeper inspection. They make a mint on the haunted tours. Again, great folks, but clearly would prefer no change to their status quo.

The 1904 video is very interesting to me because of what's in the sky. Yes, this is an old film, with burn marks, irregularities, but these images remained stable longer than film irregularities. I saw an orb and some type of fleet of aircraft. (Those ain't geese, if they were, given the distance from the camera man they'd be 10+ times the size of normal geese).
In terms of people not freaking out about what was in the sky above them, we really don't know what they considered normal, or for that matter if this was 1907 or even earlier. Here's the screen grabs from it.

I see this as the connectors for the supporting wires for the electrical grid feeding the cars? No movement beyond what was induced by the camera's forward motion.

Victoria Pavement Lights

The existence of these "pavement lights" is one of the tell tale signs that you are in the right place. The city you are in, will definitely have either tunnels or additional levels beneath. There were hundreds of these in the city of Victoria. I photographed a couple, for they were literally everywhere.

I don't wear pink. That's my wife's sneaker.

Dug out underground gallery around the building.
Gained access to the first floor and there is no need to dig out the entire street. Mass phenomenon.

For example, Kazan, Russia.

Type of street.


Underground.


In Kazan, on Bauman Street, by the millennium of the city, by 2000, an underground gallery was built. It is interesting in that a whole street has been excavated. Existing studies in other cities do not show what is underground. In Kazan, there is such an opportunity.
Fortunately, the construction was frozen, they dug up the street and blocked it. The use of basements (obtained on the first floors) of existing buildings was supposed. The builders reached the bottom of the foundations of buildings of the 17th-18th centuries. They write that they found nothing interesting. Now access to the ground is closed, but the network has a sufficient number of photos. It is clearly seen that the windows of the first floors are below ground level.

Here is another photo.

Засыпанная Казань

Russia. Omsk

Excavations gallery.



And here is the view before the excavation. The same light prisms.



And some light prisms from Moscow.

This is a different video than the first. Check out the massive building toward the end built on top of a HUGE arch.
People back then could really suspend their disbelief.

Around four to four and a half minutes, actually

Fascinating video and shows much more than many similar videos. That building is indeed massive. When one compares the basic squalor found amongst the active souls living amongst these buildings one is reminded almost of a few Star Trek episodes of kids living in abandoned cities and making due the best they can.

The historian in the video did seem like he was trying to stress the fact that there were "not any tunnels" a bit hard. Which only added to my curiosity. I live in Albuquerque NM and I believe the downtown area has many buildings that I should take a look at.

Another odd building is the Market Square in downtown Victoria, it's half block internal plaza one level below the street.

I did the historic downtown tour this year and asked the guide why the inside plaza is one level below, the answer?
"Because it was built over a ravine"
I'll let you judge this response....

This is the street, with the right entrance with stairs

The inside view (of the old ravine of course)

The satellite view, where the square inside the market is one level below
