  • In this video we check out an abandoned dam/hydroelectric power plant that is over a century old. A whirlpool spins eternally in the center of the dam and is said to be connected to paranormal occurrences. After exploring it in the daytime, we return at night to see if we can witness anything out of the ordinary, and we find a huge underground tunnel system.

      Main thing that concerns me for the legitamacy is the money. Those shiny pennies are the newer style. I really doubt any money that had been sitting in such environment would still remain that shiny and clean, instead of corroded or the such, has been there long.
      -edit- The new style that is seen so shiny, the Union Shield, was started in 2010, so while I still haven't grasped that 2010 was almost nine years ago(anyone else..?), I still feel 2010 would have corroded the penny.

      Dark concrete tunnels can scare anyone. In my youth I explored black 3ft diameter storm drain. Long story short, never go into storm drains. The water comes all at once and almost right to the top, not fun. Very creepy in there, sound acts weird in concrete tunnels. Thats why guys voice sounded good

      If I heard screaming in a almost fully locked down tunnel where there was almost no chance of it being human plus the place being known to be paranormal I would run the heck out as fast as I can. I’m sure they probably felt the same way.

    • @specialed6357

      Trained to rescue, not put themselves in unnecessary danger. We don't know what kind of screams they were, ghostly disembodied screams from something just feet from them coming from something invisible, threatening screams yelling I'm going to kill you, animal screams warning they are getting too close, etc... If they were calling for help, I'm sure they would have investigated.

      I learned a couple of mnemonics for that... the "tites" go down and the "mites" go up... The letter T (tite) looks like something hanging from the ceiling, M (mite) is the opposite... or looks like two somethings rising up.

    "Oh this just opened right here! Look! Oh these planks weren't like before! Oh a staircase!"
    He also kinda rushed them in the room at the beginning and that room was connected to the tunnels. I honestly think he was the one that set up the creepy scene with the stuffed animals too. It really felt like just show

    Plot twist the maintenance worker is a ghost of a guy who fell to his death during construction of the dam.

    • @HerecomestheCalavera
      @HerecomestheCalavera 5 лет назад +60

      The maintenance guy should have hid down a dark hallway or something making it look as if he disappeared. Shortly after the owner should have showed up bitching "What the hell are you people doing here?! Do you want me to call the cops" They would reply "No man! We are here with Johnathon the maintenance worker! He said he went and got the keys from you!" The owner turns pale and asks "What was he wearing?" they reply "he was wearing a camo jacket" the owner calms down a bit and says "yeah that was Johnathon alright, haven't seen him around here in a long time though." the group asks the owner "haven't seen him? But he works here" the owner says "Well sort of, see he used to work here back in 1957. One day there was a problem with one of the turbines and John went to work on it. Somehow while he was working the turbine kicked on and sucked him right in. It was terrible, there was literally nothing left of him. He must have thought you guys were special to appear and show you through the dam. He usually scares off visitors with his ghostly wail to protect any more people from perishing in this place."

    How legit is that maintenance worker even? I mean, why does an abandoned damn like that even need a (dedicated) maintenance worker? Also he did not always seem to know the way and he was amazed at the presence of turbines under that wooden plate down the spiral stairs. Furthermore he did not know the entrance to this tunnel system, even though it is part of the whole complex...

    You would find the mill buildings in Manchester, NH to be very interesting. There was once a canal with waterways running beneath each of the buildings in the complex (The canal has been filled in, and is now "Canal St"). But many of the old turbine wells, drainage canals and other turn-of the-century crap still remains in many of the basements of the mill buildings. The bottom floor of the buildings flood every few years, so I think most developers have just ignored them. We always saw cool old leather belt systems, pulleys and gearboxes spread throughout the buildings. Neat stuff!

      Actually alot of the surface areas are 'relatively' safe to walk around now.. I mean there are still a shit tonne of areas that are HIGHLY irradiated. but most of the buildings that are further away from the factory where the incident happened, are more or less fine to walk through.
      That said... I wouldn't want to hang around there long...

    I remember the episode where GAC investigated this dam, the reason I remember it so vividly is because Aaron captured an amazing piece of evidence just on that ledge above the whirlpool area. I'd highly recommend checking it out if you haven't already. I thought it would be a bit of a crap episode - but the history behind it is really interesting, & the evidence they captured rather impressive.

    Very good video - lots of fun! Those hallways of little cubicles look like medium voltage to high voltage switchgear and metering transformers, etc. It's interesting that all the old panel-boards are still up - some look like white marble - those are old. For voltages 600 and less they used to have live front panel-boards with knife switches.
    The turbines are below the water level in the basement space you showed. The shaft sticking up toward the big hole in the ceiling was coupled to the alternator, which sat on the machinery hall floor above.

    This was taken off line ~1968 when the gates were closed on a "new" dam about 5 miles to the south. Then part of this dam was blown out along with the locks to let the lower dam impound the water. I was 4 years old and can remember being there with an uncle at the new dam before the gates were closed.

    The whirlpool is there because of the flowing water of river. As the water in river is flowing and the water inside the building is stand still so due to pressure difference the water tries to go with the flow of river. And theres are tunnels which feeds the water to the turbine runners and down there, there is an outlet so the water inside is always draining and gets filled simultaneously. Thats the reason for whirlpool..
