The Bloody Pit

A year after the accident, they reopened the shaft and drained out all 500 feet of water. The workers began to call the tunnel by another name: "The Bloody Pit" In 1874, a local hunter named Frank Webster vanished. He claimed he had been ordered into the tunnel by voices and lights. His experience ended when something unseen reached out,. took his rifle from him, and clubbed him with it.
