There aren’t many experiences most of us can say we share with Kevin McCallister from Home Alone. But being afraid to go into your basement as a kid is probably a common one. I have to admit, they look and feel spooky to me even now. I’d much rather reserve that kind of creepiness for when I watch horror films.

However, some people are into that kind of stuff. The more horrifying, the better. That’s why we’ve compiled some pictures of the most eerie and chilling basements and cellars we could find. Creepy dolls, unsettling Catholic paraphernalia, and just generally uncanny vibes – lovers of all things bizarre will probably have a field day with this.

#80 1860s Basement Tunnel System

Under contract on a home with an 1860s basement. The inspector found a series of tunnels underneath the home, with entrances in the basement and detached garage. Any ideas here folks? Some of the entrances are DEEP, at least 10-feet below the house. There are probably at least 5 openings in the basement (it’s massive). I couldn’t find any info on the Underground Railroad being in this area, we are based in the northeast.
