sub1.png

Je travaille pour un fournisseur d’électricité qui approvisionne plus d’une douzaine d'entrepôts et de complexes industriels.

Imaginez moi comme un agent de sécurité glorifié à l'excès. Je me balade pour vérifier des postes électriques et fais attention à ce qu’un disjoncteur n’ai pas été déclenché ou qu’un aigle n’ai pas fait son nid sur un transformateur. Je travaille de nuit, ce qui fait que je passe la plupart de mes nuits dans une caravane, à lutter pour avoir un peu de réseau afin de combattre l’ennui. Les seules fois où je travaille vraiment, c’est quand il pleut.

Commençons par un peu de contexte : Peu importe ce que vous imaginez de cet endroit, vous vous trompez sûrement. Il y a quelques milliers d’hectares de forêts, de rivières et de routes de campagne. Parfois un entrepôt dans un champ. Qualifier cet endroit de “reculé” est un euphémisme — même les gens du coin ne savent pas qu’on bosse ici. Il n’y a personne à part des cerfs (on peut en voir cinquante, soixante par nuit). Les postes électriques sont juste des cabanes dans les bois. La partie la plus dure ce n’est pas de les vérifier. C’est de les trouver.

J’ai pas envie de donner trop de détail (j’aime bien ce boulot et j’aimerais le garder), mais il y avait une mine pas loin d’ici. Quand ils ont construit un barrage en aval, l’endroit est devenu un lac. Les habitants ont été obligés de déménager — la mine et les usines ont été inondées. Une fois le lac retiré, ils ont tout détruit et ont construit de nouvelles usines.

C’est là que les choses deviennent intéressantes : Quand ils ont démoli les bâtiments, ils n’ont pas touché aux sous-sols. Les postes étaient quasiment tous reliés par une sorte de réseau souterrain. Sous chacune de ces petites cabanes se trouve donc un réseau tentaculaire de tunnels reliant des sous-sols de bâtiments qui n’existent même plus. En gros, ce complexe souterrain s’étend à l’infini.

Quand il pleut, les sous-sols sont inondés. Et quand il pleut fort, l’eau remonte et inonde les postes électriques — des installations à haute tension. Vous comprenez le problème ?

C’est là que j’interviens : Mon boulot est de me rendre dans tous ces postes, descendre au sous-sol, et vérifier que les pompes fonctionnent bien. Elles se mettent en marche quand l’eau dépasse un certain niveau, mais il arrive que les flotteurs se bloquent (où que les pompes nécessitent un remplacement).

(Je sais ce que vous vous dites. Pourquoi ne pas boucher les sous-sols ? Et bien, sans parler du coût — et le fait de devoir fermer chaque poste pendant qu’on bosse — il y a aussi le fait que ce boulot existe en partie parce que quelqu’un doit vérifier ces pompes de drainage. Donc personne n’a très envie de le signaler à la direction.

Quand tu commences à bosser, tous les anciens te disent la même chose : Ne traîne pas dans les sous-sols. Ne te balade pas. N’explore pas. Descend, fait ton boulot, remonte. Fais attention où tu mets les pieds. Et emporte toujours deux lampes torches.

Certains tunnels ont presque un siècle. Ils ont été construits quand être “aux normes” signifiait juste qu’ils ne s'écroulaient pas cinq minutes après avoir été construits. En plus de ça, tous les plans de ces lieux ont été perdus dans l’inondation. Personne ne sait ce qu’il y a en bas ni ce qui est relié à quoi. Le mec qui m’a formé à déjà marché d’un poste à un autre sans jamais entrevoir le ciel. Ça représente plus de cinq kilomètres de tunnels. Cinq kilomètres.

Au cas où vous vous demanderiez… Ouais. Tout le monde dit de ne pas traîner dans les sous-sols, mais tout le monde traîne dans les sous-sols. Faut juste faire gaffe, rester alerte et toujours — toujours — emporter deux lampes torches.

Croyez-moi : Vous n’imaginez pas ce qu’on peut trouver en bas.

sub2.png

Ce tunnel là ? C’est en bas de… Disons de la ”Sous-station n°9”.

La plus grande distance parcourue par l’un d’entre nous dans ce tunnel est de 500 mètres environs - ça fait 5 terrains de foot, ou alors un kilomètre et demi. Ce qu’il y a après ?

Personne ne sait. Le tunnel entame une descente, le reste est donc complètement submergé. On a essayé de drainer l’eau mais elle n’est jamais descendue plus bas que ce que vous voyez la. Cela veut dire qu’il y a encore je-ne-sais combien de tunnels (et sous-sols) après cet endroit.

J’ai encore des choses à vous partager — notamment des photos. Je reviendrai sur le sujet demain.

cthulahoop 02/03/16 (Wed) 14:19:51 #31166510


Commençons par le commencement : Plein de gens m’ont DM en me disant que l’image n’est pas crédible, que c’est impossible qu’il y ait des kilomètres de tunnels, etc.

Mettons les choses au clair, d’accord ?

Maintenant qu’on s’est occupé de ça… Je vais répondre à quelques questions que les gens m’ont posé :

  • On utilise des pompes de drainage jetables bon marché parce que notre entreprise ne veut pas dépenser d’argent pour en acheter d’autres. Cela étant dit, certains postes sont équipés de vieilles pompes centrifuges, soit sur place, soit dans un sous-sol adjacent. On les connecte à des tuyaux et on les utilise en cas de secours pour les zones qui subissent de graves inondations. Le problème c’est que certaines pompes ont plus de 50 ans — c’est difficile de trouver des pièces compatibles, et peu d’entre nous (à part moi et quelques autres) savent comment les réparer.
  • Aucun d’entre nous n’est vraiment électricien. On est des répartiteurs pour les électriciens. Plutôt que de payer des pros formés pour surveiller la zone, ils nous payent une fraction du salaire. Quand on trouve un fusible explosé ou un transformateur hors-service, on appelle les électriciens et ils s’en occupent. On doit aussi vérifier les disjoncteurs à huile et garder les postes au sec (les électriciens ne descendent pas dans les sous-sols).
  • On gère beaucoup de postes électriques (plus de 50). Les deux plus gros sont équipés de transformateurs de 220kV (ils descendent jusqu’à 66kV). On a aussi des stations de renforcement, une usine de traitement de l’eau et d’autres trucs.
  • Je ne veux pas être trop précis sur la ville minière ni sur l’époque où elle a été inondée, car je préfère que les gens ne découvrent pas où se trouve cette ville ni qui je suis. Je le répète : J’aime mon travail. Je dirais juste qu'après l'inondation, la mine s'est effondrée et n'a jamais été rouverte.
  • Le truc le plus flippant que j’ai jamais vu en bas est une famille de ratons-laveurs. Si vous ne trouvez pas ça effrayant, alors j’imagine que vous n’avez jamais surpris une paire d’yeux brillants sortis des ténèbres, éclairés par votre lampe-torche, alors que vous vous trouvez à des kilomètres de la première âme qui vive.

Des gens m’ont posé des questions sur l’histoire du “toujours apporter deux lampes torches”. Laissez moi vous montrer quelque chose :

Vous voyez comme il fait sombre quand j’éteins ma lampe torche ?

Maintenant, imaginez que c'est votre seule lampe torche et que vous venez de la perdre. Imaginez parcourir ces tunnels dans l'obscurité absolue.

To make matters worse… see this? This is a hole full of water. These basements are full of stuff like this. Drain-trenches, collapsed floors, elevator shafts — even straight-up pits. Some are just several feet deep; others are several dozens of feet. A coworker of mine has fallen into one of these things, and let me tell you: They ain't no joke.

Some even go down to a lower sub-basement that's been completely flooded. There's entire chambers down here full of old pumps and machines that have been submerged for decades.

Again: You would not believe some of the shit we find down here.

sub7.png

Okay, it's been a while since I last posted, but I wanted to answer a few more questions:

  • When we go down, we carry an O2 monitor. Mainly, we're worried about things like pockets of nitrogen. We also wear heavy gloves, rubber steel-toed boots, and ventilation masks (in case of asbestos).
  • A lot of these places smell pretty much exactly how they look. Sometimes? They smell worse.
  • You can still find some things from the old town above-ground, in the woods. Mostly concrete slabs, but there's a rusted husk of a truck sitting in a tree somewhere.
  • We have no idea where the collapsed mine is, and — quite frankly! — none of us are interested in looking for it. It's probably filled with poisonous fumes and other toxic, nasty shit.
  • There aren't a lot of animals down here, because there aren't a lot of ways in (that we don't directly control). I still have no idea how the fuck those raccoons managed it.
  • Some of you have been asking me if anyone's ever actually gotten lost down here. Well, about that…

Remember the two flashlight thing? It's just good sense: It's hard enough to find your way around down here. How are you going to manage without light? There's no phone reception, either. Just you, alone… with miles and miles of decaying concrete, rancid pools of water, and rusted machines — in pitch-black darkness.

But we've got a saying in industrial work: Every rule is written in blood. The reason we all carry two flashlights is because of what happened when someone didn't.

I had a coworker — let's call him John. He was a good guy. Clever, good head for numbers. Kept to himself. Real quiet. Along with me and three others, we handled the graveyard shifts for the whole crew.

sub8.png

One year, during a thaw, the sump pumps were getting overwhelmed. Too much water coming in — they couldn't dump it fast enough. John wanted to hook up some of these old centrifugal pumps that were just sitting around in these basements — use them to give our own pumps a fighting chance. It was a good idea, but a lot of work. Some of these pumps hadn't seen action for decades.

But John stuck with it. He hunted down every pump he could find, serviced them, hooked them up with hoses, and managed to keep our substations dry all the way into late spring.

A few days after we got things under control, I did a swap and ended up coming in during a day shift. I was John's relief. When I got to the trailer, the truck was missing and John was gone. The last entry in the logbook mentioned heading out to check on the sump pump in one of the substations.

sub9.png

I had to walk there. The truck was right outside, still idling. I went downstairs and searched over two hours for John. Then, I called the police. There was an investigation, a search — whole nine yards. Most of us came in off-the-book to help. We looked through those tunnels for a month, maybe even longer. Never found so much as hair or hide of him.

About a year later, another coworker — we'll call her 'Patrice' — took me aside. She showed me something she found during one of her rounds.

A flashlight with dead batteries. It had some tape wrapped around the pommel with John's initials soldered on it.

cthulahoop 02/07/16 (Sun) 17:13:02 #86713880


People are expressing skepticism regarding the size of these basements and whether they're not all really interconnected. I took a short video to try and give you a sense of scope, here.

(Pardon the heavy breathing; new mask.)

See that tunnel at the end? That's part of a whole other facility that's just as big as the one I started in. I'll try to take footage of it later.

Anyway, more answers to questions:

  • Company policy is that we're not supposed to be exploring these spaces. They know we do it — but they pretend not to know.
  • No, we never found John. As far as the police are concerned, he wandered off into the woods. As far as we're concerned… he fell into a flooded sub-basement and drowned.
  • For those of you saying we ought to have shut the facility down, drained the basements completely, and kept looking for John… that's basically what we tried to do? Again: Some of these sub-basements cannot be drained. Water just keeps getting in — either from the river or from the flooded mine (possibly both). Remember, you're dealing with massive underground structures that have been filling with water for decades. Unless you're willing to start a billion dollar excavation project to dig out all of these basements… there's literally no way to recover that body.
  • If you think it sounds creepy to work inside a massive underground complex knowing that the drowned corpse of your coworker is lurking in a flooded sub-basement somewhere under your feet… well, you're right. It's creepy as hell, actually. It's why most of us stay far the fuck away from the substation he vanished under.

A lot of you have said you want to hear about some "spookums". Well, I know this is going to be disappointing, but… outside of what happened to John? Literally nothing "spooky" has ever happened to me, here.

A few of my coworkers have told me about some things they've encountered, though. I don't know whether you should trust them, but I'll provide a few examples:

  • Patrice says that on at least three separate occasions, she's heard something like muffled "old timey radio music" playing from below. She didn't recognize the song, but says it was the same one all three times.
  • "Ed" (the guy who trained me) says he's heard some of the old original pumps kicking on by themselves. This actually isn't all that weird; John repaired a bunch of them (some we still use even today). But Ed claims the ones he's heard kicking on aren't the ones John repaired — they're deeper in. Somewhere in the parts of the complex that we haven't explored, yet.
  • That's another thing I should clarify, and I guess counts as a "spookum": We haven't explored the entire complex. Not yet. There's still dozens of passages, doorways, and stairwells we haven't gone down.
  • "Phil" (one of the old-timers) claims he once saw some pale naked guy squatting in one of the tunnels, but we're all pretty sure he's either bullshitting us or it was really just a raccoon. He also says he saw a section of Substation 9 that ties into the collapsed mine.
  • Two new hires claimed to hear knocking and yelling on the other side of a sealed door (several doors down here are welded shut). In both cases, the guys left for a different job.
  • I mentioned we have a potable water plant, but I should have clarified: We had a potable water plant. It's abandoned, now. No one's ever been able to get clean drinking water working in this place — all the faucets and drains would get gummed up with this congealed gray paste that smells like rotting fish. We use a portable toilet and bring in bottled water by the truckload.

That's basically it. Like I said, I haven't encountered any of this stuff myself, so I'm pretty skeptical.

Okay, so, it's been a while since I posted, but there's been some news.

Ed found John's phone. He nearly broke the damn thing when he was sloshing through the water trying to fix a sump pump. Felt something hard and flat under his foot. John kept his phone in one of those industrial-strength cases, so it was actually in good condition. It can still manage to hold a charge.

We went through his shit, and — well, like most of us, he took photos of what's below. We recognized most of them… but not the most recent ones:

Here's the messed up part: Ed found this phone in Substation 9. But according to the logbook, John didn't even go near Substation 9 the day he disappeared.

We're all kinda spooked, right now. Patrice and some others are talking about quitting. Either way, we've all talked it over and decided the best option is to turn the phone over to the police and let them sort it out.

I almost forgot. That last picture? Phil keeps saying he's seen that tunnel, before. He says that it's the collapsed mine.

Police are involved. Somebody must have lit a fire under the company's ass, because they're now moving heaven and earth to get Substation 9 drained. Brought in some gigantic pumps to do it with. We've all been working overtime. The pay's good, but nobody's really that happy. None of us want to be here.

This is a waste of time, honestly. John's phone just drifted. We're not going to find him down here.

On the bright side, at least we'll get to see what the hell is at the end of that hall.

Patrice and two others quit, today. Company's offering me time and a half to cover shifts while they look for new workers.

Nobody goes into the basements, anymore. Not unless we have to.

The flooded hall in Substation 9 ends in a set of stairs that go down deeper.

They think they found John's body.

It wasn't John's
