The Thing in the Riese Tunnels
Project Riese was a mysterious plan by the German army to build a series of underground structures in the Owl Mountains of Poland during World War II. However, the structures were never completed, leaving behind a strange network of tunnels and caves. The true purpose of these tunnels remains unknown, as no official documentation describing Project Riese has ever been found.
In a recently surfaced video, a group of explorers venture into the dark tunnels of Project Riese and encounter a bizarre cave explorer. A 4chan user attempted to enhance the eerie footage, stabilizing and brightening it for a clearer view. The video appears to show a small, unsettling creature running on two legs through the narrow tunnels.
Could this be the result of a German World War II experiment gone wrong? A mysterious underground creature? Or simply an impressive special effects trick? The truth remains uncertain.
Train Tunnel: Stand By Me
Three boys decide to explore a train tunnel near Odell Lake in Oregon. Despite carrying flashlights, the darkness of the tunnel limits their visibility. Initially, they walk leisurely along the tracks, but as they progress, they realize the tunnel is much longer than anticipated.
Their unease grows, and they quicken their pace. Nervousness soon turns into full-blown panic when one of them hears something and wonders aloud, “What if the train started coming right now?” Less than a minute later, his fear is realized— a train barrels toward them. They scramble into the muddy water beside the tracks, pressing themselves tightly against the tunnel walls. Miraculously, all three make it through unscathed. Hopefully, this experience taught them to stay away from train tunnels in the future.

Cave: The Descent
The Russian YouTube channel “Beyond” features an explorer named Nick, who ventures into eerie, abandoned places. In one episode, Nick and his friends explore a system of narrow caves. The tunnels are so tight that Nick has to remove his backpack to squeeze through. While doing so, his friends continue ahead, leaving him momentarily alone.
Nick calls out for his friends, but no response comes. As he crawls beneath sleeping bats and navigates the claustrophobic tunnels, strange occurrences begin. His camera malfunctions while filming an alcove, rocks seemingly fall from above while he climbs, and his flashlight starts to die. Then, he hears unidentifiable noises that send him sprinting blindly through the cave.
Deciding to retrace his steps and exit, he reaches his backpack only to find that someone—or something—has rummaged through it. Later, upon reviewing his footage, Nick notices what appear to be glowing eyes watching him from the darkness.
What do you think? Did Nick capture real paranormal activity, or was it just a series of unfortunate coincidences? You decide.
Final Destination
A shocking video from Russia features a daredevil weaving through heavy traffic inside a tunnel—on a bicycle. At first, his reckless maneuvering is startling enough. Then, it becomes clear: he isn’t on a motorcycle but a standard bicycle, making his stunt even more dangerous.
Some might dismiss it as extreme sports, but three major risks stand out:
His erratic movements could cause a driver to swerve and crash. He collides with a warning sign, breaking it. The sign was alerting drivers about an extended load on a truck. Without it, unsuspecting drivers could collide with the truck’s protruding cargo, reminiscent of the horrifying “Final Destination” log truck accident scene. The tunnel he races through is Moscow’s infamous Lefortovo Tunnel, also called the “Tunnel of Death.” Numerous crashes occur there due to treacherous road conditions, even under normal circumstances.
This video is terrifying in multiple ways. But what do you think? Let us know in the comments.
