Plus everyone knows that a good ol’fashioned renovation and new paint job is the best way to exercise a demonic entity from a house 😌….. tbh now that I think about it the weird demon room is prolly why she’s going insane and tunneling under the house to the core of the earth 😂😂
Also yea my first thought was “How much trouble could you get in for something like this?” ….. I mean from building code violations and things like natural gas and radiation. Idk there are a million reasons why you shouldn’t do this and it could be dangerous to you and or your neighbors! I’m really curious if this would just be a fine in some places. Or could be jail time or getting charges for something 🤔
I read this comment before finishing the video and thought you were talking about Danny's jokes about the tunnel being haunted, nothing prepared me for her ACTUALLY saying her house is haunted
As a licensed civil engineer, this is a nightmare to hear about. Even if her "tunnel" is only below her floor slab, she is undermining the stability of surrounding structures by removing the earth. This is why a thing called shoring is used when excavating. Basement walls can blow out when earth is removed from it for a long time.
She's damn near close to getting the permit she needs to continue her subterranean sedimentary crusade. She recently had an architect sign off on the fact her reinforcing was actually good enough to support all of the soil and rock to remain stable lol
Yeah everything in my brain screams unsafe, like this isn't Minecraft dirt isn't blocks. Things can and will cave in, especially active mines. Even if she was isolated on acres of open land and not endangering others, it's still incredibly stupid and harmful to her. This isn't something you can DIY with no actual professional input. I'm floored
My tunnel lady experience was seeing one tiktok from her, going "huh" and scrolling away, and then 3 months later seeing a dozen tiktoks from geologists begging her to stop before she collapses her neighbor's house or lets a pocket of arsenic seep into the water supply for the entire DC metro area
@@janzy58 also the fact that she claimed none of her neighbours minded but when an investagtive journalist reached out to her neighbours literally none of them knew and were concerned abt it once they found out (allegedly)
That being caused by radiation would be extremely weird if not impossible. I've never heard of hallucinations as a symptom of radiation poisoning, plus the levels are very low, and she knows that. Twice the normal amount might be a lot in some cases, but not here. That's still just about as close to the dangerous amount as it was before. So not close at all
Exactly my thoughts! As a mining engineer subsidence can be very tricky to predict + doing this in an urban area is so dangerous, no geotechnical, geology and hydrology studies. I wonder how she's even able to do this without authorities acting up. Also, I wonder what method is she using to dig, explosives🥴?Too many dangerous stuff.😭
WHY are tunnels so popular rn??? tunnel girl, the tunnels in new york, the tunnel system i just installed under my neighbourhood that leads to my danny gonzalez shrine, like wtf who is controlling our brains
This whole thing could be SUCH a cool horror story. Like, the main character rents a room in this woman's house and finds out that the owner is digging a tunnel under the house, and slowly realizes that something down there is urging her to do it. Could be so cool if she wasn't actively endangering her neighborhood.
I grew up in Northern VA, there was a few tornado warnings (never serious), and only one tornado I ever experienced. The tornado wasn't anything crazy either. When I was in high school (2016 ish) there was hurricane storms, but nothing that did a lot of damage. Just rained heavy and the wind was rough to drive in. I lived like an hour outside of DC.
@@savian_is_spooked yep, we were in school in the same area at the same time lol. worst tornado there was around me took some shingles off an apartment building but that’s about it. a couple tropical storms too.
I didn't think her tunneling was a big deal...until I learned she's doing it in a suburban area and not in the middle of a huge piece of land she owned.
strongly reminds me of William Lyttle, also known as the Mole Man of Hackney. If it ends the same, for her own sake she better be a millionaire like William
Exactly. Its far less of a big deal if she was the only house around for miles, but doing it this close to other buildings you do not own is so sketchy. The fact she got enough water seepage to require a pump means she was actively lowering the water table and if continued, that could cause ground settlement for a few square miles around her house ruining foundations of all her neighbors.
8:46 fun fact: the higher radiation is likely because she cut through rocks containing higher levels of radioactive elements like radon, which is actually pretty common in houses anyway. psa: check your house for radon. you can find testing kits online or in a lot of hardware stores. it's actually dangerous.
Yes but most of the time the levels of radon are not dangerous. We all technically have radon in our houses. If you want to be paranoid and check tho that’s on you.
basements and foundations are usually built to keep radon out plus it can be area dependent, some places have more radon than others (think coal country) so while you should test for radon when buying a house it’s not something you should have to do regularly unless there’s damage to your foundation/basement
Yeah, usually the basements are sealed so the gas doesn't seem in, and it's not uncommon for basements to have essentially an off gas vent. Like a plumbing pipe that runs from below the concrete pour and then up one of the basement walls before being vented out just above ground. It's a relatively small amount of gas that if it escapes into the breeze is fine, it's being in a sealed below ground space that's an issue
She really is amazingly relaxed. She really said "the only thing stopping me from becoming a pancake is my own recently acquired and never battle tested skills" and left it at that
@@MADPoltergeisteven if they're not that close she's not trained and it's just an all around safety issue for so many people if any thing goes wrong in the process
@@MADPoltergeist on the surface it does seem like an interesting concept with no one getting harmed. however this is not the case. the dust from her mining is dangerous and could contaminate the water supply, and neighbors would hear loud noises and feel the ground shaking during all times of night and day. because a lot of her neighbors were undocumented immigrants, they couldn't report her for fear of being deported. (p.s. this is me paraphrasing what i read in another comment under this video, by @prismaticerror6911 who knew more about the situation than i did)
@@MADPoltergeistit absolutely should be. theres a reason you can’t mess with the very foundation of your home (it can and will collapse). even people who want a basement have to consult multiple professionals because it is dangerous for the entire neighborhood. theres a reason we have rules and regulations, cause people have died doing shit like this
I’m a soil vapor and air purity chemist. Radiation increases you go deeper because of natural radon deposits decaying and making their way into basements. Vapor is pulled into deep spaces from soil as warm air travels up. This is why air filtration is a must in basements!
Do you think radiation is the reason she's acting so bizarrely/why her tenants were getting sick? Or carbon monoxide, arsenic, mold, etcetera? She could also be making some things up for attention, but idk, there's a genuine puzzle here
You don't really get natural Radon deposits, since the half-life of Radon is about 4 days... what you get is Radon released from the decay of radioactive elements (such as radium). Her source above background is likely dissolved radon gas from her seepage water. It really isn't that big of an issue, radon itself is a noble gas - it just requires venitlation.
@@clawcaps3224 it sounds like a lot when you say its double, but its likely she doesn't have much in the way of hard rock around her house (before she started mining). Granite, for example, is radioactive from the small amounts of radium, uranium and thorium. As a result Maidan square in Kiev, Ukraine has a higher background radiation level than Chernobyl's main square.
She’s also huffing in radium and radon particles. I checked out the bedrock makeup out there. Radium is speckled all throughout the rocks there. It’s safe of course with all the earth on top of it. Until you start raw dogging radium air. It’s bat shit insane to me she got people to pour cement in there for her.
As soon as she said the radition level in the tunnel went up, I knew it had to be radon, that's always been a thing I've heard about with basements. How would she not know about that?
There's three levels of electricity knowledge: 1. It's magic 2. It's actually quite simple, the electrons move, there's resistance and voltage and all that 3. Ok, no, it's fucking magic
@Am1kke I love this! It perfectly sums up what a college professor said to us one day. Knowledge starts off with us knowing nothing about everything. As we grow and learn, we gain a little knowledge about a lot of topics. Then, if one chooses, they can specialize in certain certain and more specific studies. Eventually, one can learn more and more about a specific topic that it ultimately ends up knowing everything about nothing
@@DeuxisWasTakenwell, you see, if you paint this little peanut different colors the electricity voltage will vary! How do resistors work? Well obviously the color bands are magic…duh
The fact that she's a computer engineer actually stands out to me because shes not the first one to have a weird obsession with tunneling. Seymour Cray the "father of supercomputing" is noted to have dug a tunnel under his home where so called elves would bring him solutions to the problems he was working on in his research.
The fact that shes pumping out water means shes lowering the water table. That is REALLY bad. Like potentially catastrophic settling of the ground in the area or even sinkholes. If youre building a tunnel like this, you have to seal it on all sides as you go, not just the sides with concrete blocks. Draining the water will destroy the local environment.
@@snowqueen51 She obviously doesn't care either and learns as she goes. Definitely not a well thought out plan. Her none electrical "skills" are scary, too. I think she deliberately mislead people into thinking she was a knowledgeable structural/building engineer. Engineer is vague.
She didn't fall, the background changes. Are all those comments thinking it was real from Americans? Genuine question, that would explain why all of you believe in ghosts, if all it takes is a basic level "teleportation" editing lol
@@nephone you ok dude? They meant the part toward the end when she is talking about the room/closet and trips a little, then cuts to herself talking normal again. NOT the teleportation joke earlier.
i was literally thinking that (screaming) the whole time like oh my God theres Reasons that you need collect degrees for multiple parts of this undertaking!!! sinkholes, collapse, toxic fumes, electrocution, any tool mishaps, completely fucking up the existing construction... the list goes on.
@@gwennorthcutt421 reminds me of the 4chan doomer who payed this guy dig a nuclear bunker underneath his home.Long story short the guy uncovered toxic fumes and because the home was such a mess was unable to escape in time and died.
@@normalguy246The doomer's name is Daniel Beckett, and the man he was paying to dig his tunnel was Askia Khafra. He didn't die because of toxic fumes -- a fire broke out (defective electrical outlet), and Khafra was trapped in the tunnel because of Beckett's extreme hoarding. There's a pretty good documentary covering the case by Oki's Weird Stories on RUclips. Really upsetting story.
Okay so actually ALL of the uneasy feelings her friends were getting in that room can be explained by that tunnel. When the ground shifts it creates a low sound frequency known as infrasound that has been proven to cause all those kinds of negative feelings in humans, and even full on visual hallucinations, like seeing shadow figures. Supposedly it traces back to our history of living in caves, and was basically the body's response to dwelling in unstable locations, as a way of getting us to leave. Y'know, in case the place caved in, so we wouldn't die.
@@Aaron-kp6kp Cavers that die usually get trapped and aren't living in the caves. Aquatic cavers who die usually go down too deep and just can't get back to the surface in time without running out of air or getting the bends, if they don't get trapped.
ethical concerns: apparently most of her neighbors are immigrants and they report shaking and rumbling at all hours as well as insane noise. some had concerns with immigration that kept them from reporting the activity. she was kind of banking on her neighbors inability to tell on her and in a residential neighborhood, she’s creating an impending disaster edit for source: aura bogodo, senior reporter and producer for reveal with a focus on migrants and migrant children in federal custody. she reached out to the neighbors directly and detailed their accounts on her social media platforms
This reads beat-for-beat like a lovecraftian horror novel. A normal person buys a house despite the fact that they are being told not to look in a specific room unless she buys the property. She looks inside the bedroom and initially it seems pretty unremarkable. But slowly, she becomes obsessed with the room. Like, she just can’t help but develop this inexplicable fixation on the basement bedroom. Then she just feels like she needs to go deeper. She doesn’t really even know why, she just NEEDS to go deeper into the earth. She tells everyone she’s just making a storm shelter, just to try and cover herself, but she just gets progressively more desperate to dig deeper, even when she finds things down there that she knows are dangerous. She ignores obvious radiation poisoning, she ignores the possibility of carbon monoxide poisoning, she even ignores the concerns of the people around her who are worried she’ll end up inadvertently harming the community in her quest to dig deeper, deeper, even deeper still. She discovers horrible secrets about the house and its former inhabitants, finding artifacts that indicate the troubled histories of the people who came before her, but she dismisses these discoveries as if they were wholly unrelated to her goals. They do absolutely nothing to sway her, nothing can shake her from this obsession. She just. Keeps. Digging. Whatever she’s looking for, it’s beyond human curiosity. Something is pulling her down into the abyss, something that is a genuine threat to the people living here, and she just can’t help but seek it out. At this rate she’s gonna find a cosmic horror down there and feed herself to it, so it can have the strength to free itself and start destroying everything it touches. This woman is going to sacrifice herself to a chained elder god and let it loose. Edit: Holy shit this blew up! For those wondering, I actually AM an author, yes. I just haven’t fully plunged into writing horror yet, and I’m mainly focusing on a different project right now.
in a way this reminds me of house of leaves.. hrm (especially the idea of fixation to the point of madness, and the fun secrets that your house May have)
Why is she sharing this on tik tok? If I was building a hydrogen bomb (I am not) I wouldn't tell ANYONE because it's illegal and against article 18 U.S. Code § 2332a, not that I am informed or anything, because I am not building a hydrogen bomb, so I don't need to know.
Another scary thing is she "self-studies" AFTER she runs into an issue. For instance, she learned how to safely do wiring AFTER she almost electrocuted herself wiring up the "mine elevator". Also, she started a pretty decent fire welding fibreglass reinforcement rods or something. And made sure she started recording BEFORE she went and got a fire extinguisher. Which most likely was not right beside her while welding flammable material INSIDE.
Her mining elevator collapsing because she cut corners is just reminding me of the opening scenes of There Will Be Blood. She's lucky to still be alive, honestly.
I just checked her account. Her underground adventures have been shut down. She is now harvesting rock above ground from a local quarry. She's spent months learning the best technique to split it into blocks, so she can... build a castle? I'm actually not 100% sure what it is she's using the blocks for, but she is acquiring them faster by the day
I think entire tik tok is a funny concept. I mean who came up with the idea like hey lets build an app where teenagers can dance and lipsync. Like WHAT? Odd times we live in
"ethics" was about how the people in the neighborhood around her were endangered by her weakening the stone (ignoring geologists and real engineers all the while) releasing harmful dust from mining into the air, potentially poisoning the water supply, and theyd feel the ground shake and hear noises all hours of the night. The kicker is that the people her neighborhood were mostly immigrants and were worried they'd be deported or punished if they drew attention from the law to their concerns- meaning nobody called about the noise or shaking. Edit: the reporter who contacted her neighbors also noted that a lot of them didn't speak English, so either way they couldn't call to report it.
@@Loaster in the process of getting citizenship you're on ridiculously thin ice. My dad worked with a lot of hard working people who were privileged enough to be here legally and own businesses back in mexico but they still worried about ice and the govt because of how hard it is to be an immigrant here. Even if you're here 1000% according to the crazy laws and restrictions and hoops to jump it's still risky
I think it's a little disingenuous of her to keep defending her actions by saying she's an engineer, when she's not the relevant kind of engineer. It's like, a doctor of theology setting up a clinic and giving medical advice.
True, but also me, not being any kind of engineer, can see the trouble this woman is creating. So she's just either stupid or can't feel empathy. I mean her tunnel might cause neighbor's house to collapse.
That would be most degrees, being hardly relevant to the actual job/worksite. Same reason "uneducated" people with experience have better job performance.
@@chrish42000 your comment has absolutely nothing to do with the point op made. it doesn't matter how well ppl with no relevant education perform in their jobs. this woman claims to be an engineer, not disclosing she is not a relevant type of engineer for that project in a timely manner, which led astray a lot of ppl. and then she spent over a year doing a project which can endanger not only herself, but her neighbors. and she is doing it for free, it is not her job done under the guidance of other professionals. there is no one to take over when she makes a mistake. there is no one to point out the flaws or dangers in her process. no one to teach her how to properly do things. your comment is irrelevant to the discussion.
Fun story! The running theory with haunted spaces is that humans used to be cave dwellers (heh we’re rolling it back fast) and so unstable spaces that might collapse leads to sensations of paranoia and hallucinations. It’s why haunted structures tend to be old, condemned, and definitely not up to code, I would guess that room is destabilized by her digging.
As a civil/structural EIT (engineer in training), I cannot even wrap my mind around the boldness it takes to dig a tunnel under your home...with no permit and no proper safety precautions...and no construction knowledge or experience...without even speaking to a licensed structural engineer...and sharing the entire illegal activity publicly online... If this is all true, I don't know how she's still alive
I'm not even an engineer but I am into construction and her DIY attitude bothers me so much! Like ma'am there's a reason it takes tens/hundreds of people with specialty knowledge to build this stuff together. For example, I would not be touching electrical and water problems without an ELECTRICIAN or PLUMBER nearby????
If you’re wondering why there is higher radiation underground than in the rest of the house, this is due to a natural gas called Radon that is mildly radioactive. Radon emits from soil and tends to not be a problem at all if you have a constant air flow (hence why its safe to be outside), but if you have a basement that isn’t properly sealed then radon can slip through the cracks and fill your basement. Windows and proper fans can help, but during winter and rainy weather we tend to keep windows sealed shut so radon spikes during this time. Radon can cause lung cancer, so please make sure your basement is properly sealed and get a radon test kit if you aren’t sure!
Could the radon possibly be the cause of people in that house going insane..? Especially if she's digging a tunnel like that? Maybe even causing her to want to keep digging without thinking? Radiation has been shown to induce schizophrenia spectrum disorders in people, though I'm not sure how thoroughly that's been researched just yet, nor if the radon is at all strong enough to cause a reaction like that, but maybe????
Speaking from experience (long story), hauntings can be explained by gas leaks. She *knows* there's radon under her house (the geiger counter reading). But the presence of radon doesn't rule out CO.
@@scaredsanty857 probaly in the "if that giant hole collapses it could hurt people, or maybe even kill her if it collapses while she is in it" way. i mean the tunnel doesnt really look all that stable, and she is just some random doing this, so its not like she even knows what she is doing.
@@Hudebusaalso the tunnel is under who the hell knows what. Every time she digs deeper or hits important stone there’s a chance she causes a massive collapse of something on top and kills more than just herself
Hobby tunneling is actually a very interesting phenomenon. A lot of times it just starts as digging a garden bed and they’re like 6 feet in and they’re like, let’s just keep going (this happened). I went on a research binge. There’s one man who built an entire tunnel system under a park, and another one who built a whole system just to avoid his servants. Not really for classist reasons, he was actually prettt chill, he just didn’t want to talk to people.
As a real estate broker, my home buyers normally test for radon during the home inspection contingency timeframe. Radon is a tasteless and odorless radioactive gas that naturally occurs and escapes from rock. If it is in a high enough concentration, the home seller will need to install a radon mitigation system that pulls the gas out of the home using a fan and ventilation tubes. It seems that the more this young lady digs, the more she is exposing herself to radon, which could lead to lung cancer. I hope she installs some sort of ventilation pipes to pull that gas out of her tunnel.
I'm actually wondering what the future is for the property. She'll likely never get the permits, and I'm not 100% what the cost of repairs would be. I'm not 100% you can just dump clean fill in as she's excavated into the ground water. Not sure if this would have to be filled with rock, sand, gravel etc. Also not sure it's fit for habitation based on the whole stability/radon/toxic dust thing, so not sure if condemnation is in the cards, and what happens between her and the bank in that situation. If condemned, would the city have to bulldoze it and fill the hole, or is it the sort of thing where it would just go uninhabited until someone took over the plot?
I would probably haunt the place more if they changed up my shit but on the other hand if I liked how the decor came out maybe I would haunt in a more peaceful way
IKR, I was like,, thinking, is she allowed to do this? I dont know shit about houses or foundations or whatever but even I was wondering if this was dangerous for the house or something?? I felt surprised no one else was talking about it at first
@@WhaleManMan yes so jealous of the batshit insane woman committing several crimes and risking the structural integrity of her entire house and depending on several other factors, also her neighbours houses
For me I feel like her 'basement home office' set up is what most tips this over into her just being a mentally unwell menace to her neighbourhood rather than being a 'kooky and innocently unknowing tunnel girl'
FINALLY SOMEONE ELSE SAYS IT. Her flat, lifeless eyes and demeanor definitely set me on edge, like there's something....wrong....with that woman. But seeing the desk set up really sealed it for me. Her setup is like a B-movie's idea of a psycho hacker removed from society. Utterly bizarre human being, I can't even begin to imagine what in god's name is wrong with her....
I had a friend looking through a house listing that was a bit similar. It was a fairly normal house, but there was this extremely long tunnel network in the basement that none of the pictures showed. You had to find the stairs in this tiny corner while looking through the model. We guessed it had some sort of purpose in WW2, but maybe it was just the previous owner doing this.
@@whatamidoingwithmylifeidk3927 I know someone who has/had a WW2 basement. Pretty cool. There's this hole that you can crawl through, with some pretty long tunnels behind it. I'm giessing something used to hide the hole, like a closet or something. Now it's just boarded off so no spiders get in from there.
Honestly could not think of a more worst profession to be qualified to be a structural engineer when every computer scientist im friends with have a “break things until they somehow work” mentality to work.
I feel like this entire story is a perfect fable for why so many tech ventures fail or become horrifying, dystopian nightmares. "I'm good at computers, ergo I'm good at everything, and I'm successful, ergo every idea that pops into my head must be a great one. So I'm just going to obey my every impulse, no matter how dangerous or illogical. And since there's no law against it (that I know of), nobody can legally stop me. And if they try, I just won't. Because I'm rich."
In case y’all weren’t aware, one of the main problems here is that most of her neighbors had no idea this was going on, just feeling intense rumbling and hearing very loud noises. Many of them are undocumented immigrants, and have expressed that they were too afraid to report her to authorities even though it was interfering with their livelihood for fear of being deported. She’s putting her entire neighborhood, most of whom are much more vulnerable than her, at great risk without their consent, which is really quite disturbing. There was a report on it recently in the Washington Post, and the podcast Endless Thread has a good episode talking to the advocate who initially found this issue.
Thank for educating on this, I saw another comment - that’s very fucked up and I hope someone will be able to stop her. Giving very much “white woman I can do what I want energy”.
This sounds troublingly like one of those horror-themed side quests in a Fallout game, except instead of tape recordings, she's making Tiktoks. Adding a sprinkling of dystopian horror, which spirals into a series of branch quests, concludes ambiguously, leaving you with a permanent must dig! debuff, questions about societal brainwashing, and a feeling of existential dread.

Having a mine under your house is very convenient for mining, and gathering resources. but the darkness may spawn mobs, zombies, creepers, etc. may explain the “paranormal” sounds and things. However, the iron and diamonds can craft a good sword and armor to defend. Also I am very impressed at her learning red stone so fast with no tutorial. Excited to see her best the enderdragon in a few years! PS. She just needs 3 iron for a bucket for the water problem, or she can keep it as an infinite water generator. Either way works!
Naw there are cases of people hearing weird noises and getting chills and stuff when their subconscious detects that the building they are in is unsafe, it dates back to when we lived in caves.
14:53 My uncle actually had the urge to dig. As my mom tells it, he was a teenager at the time and having some kind of angry episode he couldn't come down from. An adult gave him a shovel and told him to go outside and dig, so he did. By the end of the day he wasn't angry anymore, but he still kept digging, for days, until he'd dug a swimming pool sized hole in the yard. Then he filled it in, and never dug a hole again.
imagine someone buying that house later on and finding a weird hole in the wall or locked door and opening it and it’s just an abandoned mine under your normal neighborhood home
There are many things that can go wrong with this, aside from the cave ins or rock bursts. There is several versions of damp/toxic gas that can kill you if you don't have good ventilation, some of said gases can explode like firedamp. Not to mention this lady is literally making a SINK HOLE. I once heard a story where someone's front lawn got swallowed up, and they found out there was a big mine underneath the neighborhood forcing people to abandon their houses.
I had no idea what firedamp was, so I googled it - it's a methane-air mixture found in coal mines. All gas in coal mines is called "damp" so there's also whitedamp(carbon monoxide mixture), blackdamp(water & carbon dioxide mixture), stinkdamp(hydrogen sulfide), and afterdamp(carbon monoxide)! The more you know 😊
yeah this is absolutely something you need approval from the city to do. people have to have hearings to do WAY less potentially destructive construction on their houses. She's documenting her own future court case on tiktok. incredible.
For the radiation being higher in the tunnel, it's because of radon. Radon comes from the natural decay of uranium which can be found in almost all soil. The gas moves up through the ground and can enter your home through cracks in the foundation. Because she is in direct contact with the exposed earth, without the foundation blocking the gas from rising into that area, the level of radioactivity increases. This is not an issue above ground, because the gas will continue to rise and disperse, but because it is in an enclosed space, the gas accumulates.
Silly question, is that dangerous? Obvs radiation is but i mean in that scenario is it actually in high enough amounts to cause short term damage? Or is just slightly higher risk?
@@bubbashrimpIt is dangerous on a long period of time. It is a known problem in old houses made of granit (like in northwestern France for example): they need to be sufficiently ventilated to not cause problem when you live in them. But it really is not a big deal... when you have windows!
I did this when I was a little kid. Every day I’d go out and dig about a 4 foot hole and every day my grandpa would come and fill it up, which was pretty upsetting until, they told me I was digging directly above the septic tank.
@Madamemaryambegum my little brother and I dug a pretty deep hole for an 11 year old girl and a 9 year old boy, we had found dog bones and had to fill the hole again because we'd accidentally dug up an old grave...😂
Okay, I know there are more important parts of this video, but why is nobody talking about how girlie tripped and continued on with the TikTok instead of just doing the take over 💀💀 I’ve been laughing at this for the past five minutes holy crap
It's the way she is so unbothered by this whole thing, the tone of her voice is giving, "I am just living- oh and building a sinkhole in the bottom of my house 😊."
She's had an engineering review and all came back clean. She's got a bit more red tape to sort through and she'll be back at it, this time with an engineering stamp of approval.
Ok, the radiation under the house, previous occupant acquiring mental issues of some kind, and all her roomates/renters hearing voices and hallucinations? THAT'S RADON!!!!!! The tunnel here isn't the issue, it's the RADON LEAK
@@f_mva7-30 cpm is normal and in the mine the reading was 36. That isn’t a dangerous amount of radiation in any sense. If anything the radiation is the least concerning part of her excavation tbh.
I don't know where she lives, but in Utah at least Radon is a huge issue, too the point where the professor of my concrete class said to always put construction-grade plastic wrap essentially under the poured concrete. If she's literally burrowing into the ground with no protection then that can't be good.
That’s literally what I just said to my husband 😂 we have a small ranch home no basement and are gonna dig a small storm shelter this summer after multiple years of tornados popping up in our area. The difference between us and this lady is, we are gonna only dig a big enough hole for us to squeeze into for safety and not try to dig to literal china lol
Depends upon the basement there...my cousins was, largely, one where about half of it was at the level of the surface on that side of the house due to being built on a hill
Fun fact: in Canada, engineers are given a metal ring when they graduate. It originates from a bridge that fell and killed people in 1907 due to the engineers taking risks. At first, the ring were made from the metal left of the fallen bridge. The goal is to remind engineer of the importance of thinking this through and being careful. It’s supposed to tell them what can happen if they cut corners.
I've heard of this! It's worn on the pinky of their right hand, so they can't sign anything without feeling the ring there. I didn't know about them being made from a fallen bridge, though -- that's a really sobering piece of symbolism there.
this doesn't make sense to someone who has mental issues... She clearly has some sort of disorder..... I wish she's reported to the authorities and for an investigation to start before someone gets hurt.
She is the real DIGTOK!!!! she's clearly looking for diamonds and will come within 1 metre of them before giving up but really its a deep metaphor about relationships
Also under ethical concerns: in a few of her videos she has mentioned and briefly shown a "helper" but not provided much details. So not only is she putting her own life at risk but also whoever the other person is (and we don't know how involved they are, how aware they are, or how knowledgeable they are on engineering)
the eastern European (?) accent coupled with this & the rumours she lives in a neighbourhood primarily populated by refugees makes the term 'helper' sound awful lol
The “ethical concerns” mentioned by the article likely refer to engineering ethics. In school, you take classes which explain that engineers need to understand the effects of their designs or actions, and must first account for public, worker, and personal safety. If engineers choose to get their professional engineering licenses, there is a section on the test that relates specifically to engineering ethics.
Another ethical concern that an immigration advocate brought up is that her neighbors are mostly undocumented immigrants so she was taking advantage of the language barrier, their fear of deportation and their unwillingness to call the authorities on her, that’s how no one ended up calling the city for so long
@@zooh8017to be fair her neighbors’ status has nothing to do with her, and it’s not like reporting someone to the city would in any universe lead to you getting deported unless you have a criminal warrant out against you or something? It’s not like she forced them to labor for her 😂 she just ignored them and did something illegal in her own home…. Hassle her for doing a dangerous thing but she didn’t “take advantage” of anyone directly
@@maddieb.4282 Getting cops involved in any way could lead to deportations, there's countless cases of ICE placing legal immigrants and even citizens in detention just because they didn't believe them.
what's funny is that places with stronger magnetic fields have been linked to experiences of paranormal feelings (the magnetic waves do unusual stuff so people often assume it's ghosts) so by removing the dirt under her house she is essentially making it more haunted lmao
i almost never audibly laugh when i'm by myself but seeing that actually made me crack up so much i got the hiccups. i don't know if ive ever laughed that hard while by myself
hobby tunneling is fascinating to me because it seems like more of a compulsion than a hobby for these people there’s not many documented cases, but a lot of them started with a small practical idea and ended up loving the digging so much they just kept going
I have a lot of OCD tendencies and hobby tunneling is almost like a fantasy of mine haha. I can definitely see why it would scratch people’s compulsive behavior itch
As someone living in Germany I find her tunnel digging so funny, cause every few years an entire area in Germany needs to be cleared because construction workers dug down and found some WW2 bomb that needs to be diffused. Some friends that work in construction say that basically no one wants to dig in Germany anymore, cause if you find a bomb, you have to pay to get it diffused, and that tends to cost a lot. I can image in France, England or Poland it might be similar.
@@the_j419 I don‘t think so. I believe once you find a bomb, you‘re legally obligated to report it to authorities. Would be insanely dangerous to try to diffuse it yourself. With the amount of damage these bombs can cause, no person in their right mind would try that.
was literally just thinking "this seems super dangerous and probably illegal but idk, i'm a computer dev" right before the fact that she's a computer engineer was revealed. suddenly i feel the urge to dig out a basement under my house.
7:30 I like how she's using Dido's "thank you" for the soundtrack in a video about her unsafe tunneling, because in the music video of that song the female protagonist is getting evicted from her house and the house itself demolished. Also, the lyrics is literally "and even if my house falls down now, I wouldn't have a clue". So fitting.
Morality of this can get even messier. If she gets herself buried, there will likely be a huge attempt to rescue her, and rescue operations like these rarely come without considerable risk
@@ASMRGRATITUDE That's a horrible thought... but considering how carelessly she's endangering everybody within miles of her (destabilizing the ground, releasing radon and carbon monoxide, contaminating the water table, not to mention flagrantly violating at least a half-dozen safety codes), I don't think I would feel sorry for her. Sometimes life doesn't give you a warning before consequences come crashing down. Literally.
Honestly, the comment you made about ethics asking if she was getting children to dig the tunnels was really interesting. There's a horribly tragic story of a guy doing exactly that, manipulating and hiring a kid into mining his underground suburban tunnels until an electrical fire occurred and killed the kid. Also a great example of why this is not a safe or good idea.
A swedish newspaper recently published an investigation they did into where tech companies get Mica to use in their products and discovered that many well known brands get Mica from mines in Madagascar that use only child labor. It looked absolutely terrifying since the mines consisted of small holes only small children could pass through, and it was definietely not safe. It didin't even look like a "mine" since it was just holes in the ground where the children enter. The swedish newspaper (Aftonbladet) confirmed atleast three well known car brands: Tesla, BMW and Volvo that get Mica from there. Funnily enough, The newspaper and the article was marked as unsafe on X (Previously Twitter..). I guess Elon couldn't the criticism.

radon and radium are different things, radium is the shit that fucked up the radium girls who made the watches. dont look up pictures of them. radon can cause the same problems danny was saying about carbon monoxide. also it can kill you
I would be so pissed if I were her neighbor. She has no idea what type of structural damage she's causing to not only her own property, but to her neighbor's property.
From other coverage I’ve seen of this apparently her neighborhood also has a significant population of migrant workers who might either be in a precarious living situation where they don’t want the government involved, or just not know that zoning laws would prohibit that. That could be the “ethical and political concerns” the article was talking about
?? Do you have her building plans? Property maps? How are you so sure she's causing structural damage to her neighbors? Chill with the assumptions acting like you are a tunnelologist. As I am, with your mom.
Quick theory of mine here... If the stories are to be taken as true, the old owner of the house went insane, hearing voices and believing in hauntings, being put in a mental ward twice before moving out, now this woman moves in and not only starts having these experiences too but begins acting strangely and making all kinds of crazy projects culminating in the digging of an extremely well elaborated, deep tunnel under the neighborhood, now this house seems to be very old, built a long time ago, so my theory here is that it's safe to assume that the old owner of the house experienced either lead or asbestos poisoning, maybe even the two, and now she's experiencing it too since old houses like that were usually built out of very dangerous and toxic materials, which would explain why her actions seem so focused yet pointless.
Asbestos isn't a poison and it doesn't make you hallucinate. It's a physical material that due to its shape gets permanently lodged in your lung lining, where it turns cancerous after a couple of decades. Because the lining is stuck to your entire inside and can't be treated well, nor removed, the cancer is always fatal. It also doesn't get dispersed into the air unless it gets cut into or destroyed in some way, so she will only have breathed some if she destroyed something that happened to contain asbestos. You could be right about the lead poisoning lol it causes hyperactivity (among other things)
@@sari9645 Oh yeah, totally could be one of those too, all i know is that the way she's acting seems manic and pointless so she's definitely being poisoned by something that's turning her brain into tv static lol
The fact that she has not one but two empty, unused, haunted rooms in her house, yet chooses to make her home office in a cemented basement is a huge red flag. And then the whole tunnel situation. It's either her brain telling her to get away from that house, or something else urging her to go deeper
The more I've learned about this woman, the more I've grown to hate her. She's actively putting her neighbors in danger, who were not informed of the project. Apparently most of her neighbors are also going through the immigration process and were scared of reporting her project to the authorities. Anyways, I see her as delusional and full of herself. Sure, we've all taken on an overly ambitious diy project, but this is absurd. This isn't harmless fun, she has no reason to be doing this, and is actively watching the place become a death trap with little to no care. I can't fully explain my disdain towards her, but I hope she never gets those permits and the city fills in her stupid tunnel.
And she deflects any criticism of her project by saying that she is an engineer.. but she's a software engineer. There are specifically mining engineers who learn how to engineer tunnels and she does... software. Like she's putting all her neighbors at risk.
@@aidanboyle9063she also deflects the criticisms about abusing her neighbor’s apprehension to alert the authorities by saying “no, I wave and say hello to my neighbors all the time. We have a good relationship :)”
damn you must be a pretty good inspector to look at a video and determine the safety of a project i mean whats your expiernce because if you kept up with her you do know a firm came down and said her works good. all she is waiting on is the city to give her a permit but they are not worried about a collapse
@@aidanboyle9063fun fact, software engineers can’t *legally* be called engineers in some states (mainly TX) but they still are. They used to be able to, if they went through the actual process to become a professional engineer. However, they discontinued the testing for software engineers because only like 100 people ever took the test in the years it existed

Using ghosts to distract from the very illegal and mysterious tunnel is very Scooby Doo villain core
Yeah. She's clearly trying to drive off her neighbors as part of some land development scheme. And she would've gotten away with it...

Plus everyone knows that a good ol’fashioned renovation and new paint job is the best way to exercise a demonic entity from a house 😌….. tbh now that I think about it the weird demon room is prolly why she’s going insane and tunneling under the house to the core of the earth 😂😂
Also yea my first thought was “How much trouble could you get in for something like this?” ….. I mean from building code violations and things like natural gas and radiation. Idk there are a million reasons why you shouldn’t do this and it could be dangerous to you and or your neighbors!
I’m really curious if this would just be a fine in some places. Or could be jail time or getting charges for something 🤔
I read this comment before finishing the video and thought you were talking about Danny's jokes about the tunnel being haunted, nothing prepared me for her ACTUALLY saying her house is haunted
As a licensed civil engineer, this is a nightmare to hear about. Even if her "tunnel" is only below her floor slab, she is undermining the stability of surrounding structures by removing the earth. This is why a thing called shoring is used when excavating. Basement walls can blow out when earth is removed from it for a long time.
She had the tunnel signed and sealed by a PE, she bumbled into it but apparently did so correctly.
Haha. Undermining.
She's damn near close to getting the permit she needs to continue her subterranean sedimentary crusade. She recently had an architect sign off on the fact her reinforcing was actually good enough to support all of the soil and rock to remain stable lol
Yeah everything in my brain screams unsafe, like this isn't Minecraft dirt isn't blocks. Things can and will cave in, especially active mines. Even if she was isolated on acres of open land and not endangering others, it's still incredibly stupid and harmful to her. This isn't something you can DIY with no actual professional input. I'm floored

I love how she talks about people going insane in her house and doesn't even chalk it up to all that radiation in her tunnel
"my tunnel is off gassing radiation but its definitely the ghost that's causing all these problems"
It’s probably infrasound honestly instead of
That being caused by radiation would be extremely weird if not impossible. I've never heard of hallucinations as a symptom of radiation poisoning, plus the levels are very low, and she knows that. Twice the normal amount might be a lot in some cases, but not here. That's still just about as close to the dangerous amount as it was before. So not close at all
To be fair most of the insanity sounds like it happened BEFORE she started making a tunnel
36 is a normal level of background radiation. She could take 2 steps and it could jump to 60, which is still normal.
As a Structural Engineer this is crazy and extremely dangerous. The city needs to shut this down before the whole neighborhood fucking sinks 😭

Exactly my thoughts! As a mining engineer subsidence can be very tricky to predict + doing this in an urban area is so dangerous, no geotechnical, geology and hydrology studies.

She clearly has a compulsion to put holes places they don't belong.
oh my god WHAT
strongly reminds me of William Lyttle, also known as the Mole Man of Hackney. If it ends the same, for her own sake she better be a millionaire like William
Exactly. Its far less of a big deal if she was the only house around for miles, but doing it this close to other buildings you do not own is so sketchy. The fact she got enough water seepage to require a pump means she was actively lowering the water table and if continued, that could cause ground settlement for a few square miles around her house ruining foundations of all her neighbors.

8:46 fun fact: the higher radiation is likely because she cut through rocks containing higher levels of radioactive elements like radon, which is actually pretty common in houses anyway. psa: check your house for radon. you can find testing kits online or in a lot of hardware stores. it's actually dangerous.
Yes but most of the time the levels of radon are not dangerous. We all technically have radon in our houses. If you want to be paranoid and check tho that’s on you.
basements and foundations are usually built to keep radon out plus it can be area dependent, some places have more radon than others (think coal country) so while you should test for radon when buying a house it’s not something you should have to do regularly unless there’s damage to your foundation/basement
Radon gas, apperently a concern in Colorado. Believed to contribute in increased risk of lung cancer.
i feel like thats also why the guests in the one room have been reporting weird shit. might be radiation?
Yeah, usually the basements are sealed so the gas doesn't seem in, and it's not uncommon for basements to have essentially an off gas vent. Like a plumbing pipe that runs from below the concrete pour and then up one of the basement walls before being vented out just above ground. It's a relatively small amount of gas that if it escapes into the breeze is fine, it's being in a sealed below ground space that's an issue
I love how she's doing/talking about the most insane shit ever but sounds so nonchalant it's like she's sleepwalking - it's genuinely so funny

@@MADPoltergeist on the surface it does seem like an interesting concept with no one getting harmed. however this is not the case. the dust from her mining is dangerous and could contaminate the water supply, and neighbors would hear loud noises and feel the ground shaking during all times of night and day. because a lot of her neighbors were undocumented immigrants, they couldn't report her for fear of being deported. (p.s. this is me paraphrasing what i read in another comment under this video, by @prismaticerror6911 who knew more about the situation than i did)

I’m a soil vapor and air purity chemist. Radiation increases you go deeper because of natural radon deposits decaying and making their way into basements. Vapor is pulled into deep spaces from soil as warm air travels up. This is why air filtration is a must in basements!
Do you think radiation is the reason she's acting so bizarrely/why her tenants were getting sick? Or carbon monoxide, arsenic, mold, etcetera? She could also be making some things up for attention, but idk, there's a genuine puzzle here
You don't really get natural Radon deposits, since the half-life of Radon is about 4 days... what you get is Radon released from the decay of radioactive elements (such as radium). Her source above background is likely dissolved radon gas from her seepage water. It really isn't that big of an issue, radon itself is a noble gas - it just requires venitlation.
@@clawcaps3224 it sounds like a lot when you say its double, but its likely she doesn't have much in the way of hard rock around her house (before she started mining). Granite, for example, is radioactive from the small amounts of radium, uranium and thorium. As a result Maidan square in Kiev, Ukraine has a higher background radiation level than Chernobyl's main square.
She’s also huffing in radium and radon particles. I checked out the bedrock makeup out there. Radium is speckled all throughout the rocks there. It’s safe of course with all the earth on top of it. Until you start raw dogging radium air. It’s bat shit insane to me she got people to pour cement in there for her.
As soon as she said the radition level in the tunnel went up, I knew it had to be radon, that's always been a thing I've heard about with basements. How would she not know about that?

Okay so actually ALL of the uneasy feelings her friends were getting in that room can be explained by that tunnel. When the ground shifts it creates a low sound frequency known as infrasound that has been proven to cause all those kinds of negative feelings in humans, and even full on visual hallucinations, like seeing shadow figures.

This reads beat-for-beat like a lovecraftian horror novel. A normal person buys a house despite the fact that they are being told not to look in a specific room unless she buys the property. She looks inside the bedroom and initially it seems pretty unremarkable.
But slowly, she becomes obsessed with the room. Like, she just can’t help but develop this inexplicable fixation on the basement bedroom. Then she just feels like she needs to go deeper. She doesn’t really even know why, she just NEEDS to go deeper into the earth. She tells everyone she’s just making a storm shelter, just to try and cover herself, but she just gets progressively more desperate to dig deeper, even when she finds things down there that she knows are dangerous.
She ignores obvious radiation poisoning, she ignores the possibility of carbon monoxide poisoning, she even ignores the concerns of the people around her who are worried she’ll end up inadvertently harming the community in her quest to dig deeper, deeper, even deeper still.
She discovers horrible secrets about the house and its former inhabitants, finding artifacts that indicate the troubled histories of the people who came before her, but she dismisses these discoveries as if they were wholly unrelated to her goals. They do absolutely nothing to sway her, nothing can shake her from this obsession. She just. Keeps. Digging.
Whatever she’s looking for, it’s beyond human curiosity. Something is pulling her down into the abyss, something that is a genuine threat to the people living here, and she just can’t help but seek it out.
At this rate she’s gonna find a cosmic horror down there and feed herself to it, so it can have the strength to free itself and start destroying everything it touches. This woman is going to sacrifice herself to a chained elder god and let it loose.
Edit: Holy shit this blew up! For those wondering, I actually AM an author, yes. I just haven’t fully plunged into writing horror yet, and I’m mainly focusing on a different project right now.

"ethics" was about how the people in the neighborhood around her were endangered by her weakening the stone (ignoring geologists and real engineers all the while) releasing harmful dust from mining into the air, potentially poisoning the water supply, and theyd feel the ground shake and hear noises all hours of the night. The kicker is that the people her neighborhood were mostly immigrants and were worried they'd be deported or punished if they drew attention from the law to their concerns- meaning nobody called about the noise or shaking.
Edit: the reporter who contacted her neighbors also noted that a lot of them didn't speak English, so either way they couldn't call to report it.

Fun story! The running theory with haunted spaces is that humans used to be cave dwellers (heh we’re rolling it back fast) and so unstable spaces that might collapse leads to sensations of paranoia and hallucinations. It’s why haunted structures tend to be old, condemned, and definitely not up to code, I would guess that room is destabilized by her digging.

If this is all true, I don't know how she's still alive

I'm not even an engineer but I am into construction and her DIY attitude bothers me so much! Like ma'am there's a reason it takes tens/hundreds of people with specialty knowledge to build this stuff together. For example, I would not be touching electrical and water problems without an ELECTRICIAN or PLUMBER nearby????
People have investigated and it's very much real. Honestly, I'm astounded she's not dead
If you’re wondering why there is higher radiation underground than in the rest of the house, this is due to a natural gas called Radon that is mildly radioactive. Radon emits from soil and tends to not be a problem at all if you have a constant air flow (hence why its safe to be outside), but if you have a basement that isn’t properly sealed then radon can slip through the cracks and fill your basement. Windows and proper fans can help, but during winter and rainy weather we tend to keep windows sealed shut so radon spikes during this time.
Radon can cause lung cancer, so please make sure your basement is properly sealed and get a radon test kit if you aren’t sure!
Thanks Toby
Right. They test (or should) for radon when you have a house inspected.
Thanks for the explanation
Yeah but radon is created by the decay of uranium 238 which also would give higher readings even without the radon.
Could the radon possibly be the cause of people in that house going insane..? Especially if she's digging a tunnel like that? Maybe even causing her to want to keep digging without thinking? Radiation has been shown to induce schizophrenia spectrum disorders in people, though I'm not sure how thoroughly that's been researched just yet, nor if the radon is at all strong enough to cause a reaction like that, but maybe????
Casually mentions people are having hallucinations in her home. Also takes high radiation readings from her tunnel system.
Speaking from experience (long story), hauntings can be explained by gas leaks. She *knows* there's radon under her house (the geiger counter reading). But the presence of radon doesn't rule out CO.
Or CO2 buildup.
Yeah it could be both
or she could just be lying

Hobby tunneling is actually a very interesting phenomenon. A lot of times it just starts as digging a garden bed and they’re like 6 feet in and they’re like, let’s just keep going (this happened). I went on a research binge.
There’s one man who built an entire tunnel system under a park, and another one who built a whole system just to avoid his servants. Not really for classist reasons, he was actually prettt chill, he just didn’t want to talk to people.
As a real estate broker, my home buyers normally test for radon during the home inspection contingency timeframe. Radon is a tasteless and odorless radioactive gas that naturally occurs and escapes from rock. If it is in a high enough concentration, the home seller will need to install a radon mitigation system that pulls the gas out of the home using a fan and ventilation tubes. It seems that the more this young lady digs, the more she is exposing herself to radon, which could lead to lung cancer. I hope she installs some sort of ventilation pipes to pull that gas out of her tunnel.
Well it seems like she is doing all of this illegally and endangering mainly the people around her so I hope that she will be stopped at all
If I remember correctly, she did have a ventilation system down there. She at least partially knows what she is doing, it seems.
This! In many parts of the US, high radon levels in basements is a common issue!
@@becca2742 Well I live in a half-basement. New fear unlocked! (But seriously our house is fine, I just have paranoia 😂)
I'm actually wondering what the future is for the property. She'll likely never get the permits, and I'm not 100% what the cost of repairs would be. I'm not 100% you can just dump clean fill in as she's excavated into the ground water. Not sure if this would have to be filled with rock, sand, gravel etc. Also not sure it's fit for habitation based on the whole stability/radon/toxic dust thing, so not sure if condemnation is in the cards, and what happens between her and the bank in that situation. If condemned, would the city have to bulldoze it and fill the hole, or is it the sort of thing where it would just go uninhabited until someone took over the plot?
Ghosts actually hate when you spruce up the place and will leave when the room has a fresh look
sounds like something a ghost would say
that or they will just haunt you with twice as much intensity out of spite
Now, i imagine a tv show about a ghost haunting someone and theres a recurring gag of the two of them moving things around to spite each other.
I would probably haunt the place more if they changed up my shit but on the other hand if I liked how the decor came out maybe I would haunt in a more peaceful way
Just tell them you will burn the whole place down and they will have to live outside if they don't chill out

She’s putting her entire neighborhood, most of whom are much more vulnerable than her, at great risk without their consent, which is really quite disturbing.

Having a mine under your house is very convenient for mining, and gathering resources. but the darkness may spawn mobs, zombies, creepers, etc. may explain the “paranormal” sounds and things.

PS. She just needs 3 iron for a bucket for the water problem, or she can keep it as an infinite water generator. Either way works!
Also, i feel like the hallucinations from the haunted room could be explained by her tunneling under the house. It's gotta be some sort of poisoning
Radon or arsenic? Could also be carbon monoxide due to a lack of ventilation
Perhaps Radon, its released by certain rock, and she may very well be releasing a lot of it, she definitely needs to vent her tunnel.

Naw there are cases of people hearing weird noises and getting chills and stuff when their subconscious detects that the building they are in is unsafe, it dates back to when we lived in caves.
14:53 My uncle actually had the urge to dig. As my mom tells it, he was a teenager at the time and having some kind of angry episode he couldn't come down from. An adult gave him a shovel and told him to go outside and dig, so he did. By the end of the day he wasn't angry anymore, but he still kept digging, for days, until he'd dug a swimming pool sized hole in the yard.
Then he filled it in, and never dug a hole again.

There are many things that can go wrong with this, aside from the cave ins or rock bursts. There is several versions of damp/toxic gas that can kill you if you don't have good ventilation, some of said gases can explode like firedamp. Not to mention this lady is literally making a SINK HOLE. I once heard a story where someone's front lawn got swallowed up, and they found out there was a big mine underneath the neighborhood forcing people to abandon their houses.
this. What she is doing is dangerous. Land is unstable substance anyway and she is playing with it and making it very unstable.
Her friends experiencing voices, hallucinations etc were probably exposed to some carbon monoxide released from the tunnel.
I had no idea what firedamp was, so I googled it - it's a methane-air mixture found in coal mines. All gas in coal mines is called "damp" so there's also whitedamp(carbon monoxide mixture), blackdamp(water & carbon dioxide mixture), stinkdamp(hydrogen sulfide), and afterdamp(carbon monoxide)!

For the radiation being higher in the tunnel, it's because of radon. Radon comes from the natural decay of uranium which can be found in almost all soil. The gas moves up through the ground and can enter your home through cracks in the foundation. Because she is in direct contact with the exposed earth, without the foundation blocking the gas from rising into that area, the level of radioactivity increases. This is not an issue above ground, because the gas will continue to rise and disperse, but because it is in an enclosed space, the gas accumulates.
Silly question, is that dangerous? Obvs radiation is but i mean in that scenario is it actually in high enough amounts to cause short term damage? Or is just slightly higher risk?

The “ethical concerns” mentioned by the article likely refer to engineering ethics. In school, you take classes which explain that engineers need to understand the effects of their designs or actions, and must first account for public, worker, and personal safety. If engineers choose to get their professional engineering licenses, there is a section on the test that relates specifically to engineering ethics.
Another ethical concern that an immigration advocate brought up is that her neighbors are mostly undocumented immigrants so she was taking advantage of the language barrier, their fear of deportation and their unwillingness to call the authorities on her, that’s how no one ended up calling the city for so long

what's funny is that places with stronger magnetic fields have been linked to experiences of paranormal feelings (the magnetic waves do unusual stuff so people often assume it's ghosts) so by removing the dirt under her house she is essentially making it more haunted lmao
Her tripping and then acting like everything is fine was hilarious
her eyeballs moving literally made me choke and laugh so hard i almost fell out of my chair like wtf was that 💀
AHAHAHAHAHAAAHAHA
i almost never audibly laugh when i'm by myself but seeing that actually made me crack up so much i got the hiccups. i don't know if ive ever laughed that hard while by myself
i’ve been laughing for like 5 minutes 😭 the look on her face paired with the sudden cut and her not even acknowledging what just happened is so great
time stamp? whennn??
hobby tunneling is fascinating to me because it seems like more of a compulsion than a hobby for these people
there’s not many documented cases, but a lot of them started with a small practical idea and ended up loving the digging so much they just kept going
literally avatars of The Buried
Glad I’m not the only one who was thinking about TMA lol
ALL OF THE TMA COMMEBTS ARE DRIVUNG ME INSANE I WANT TO LISTEN TO IT SO BAD😭
I have a lot of OCD tendencies and hobby tunneling is almost like a fantasy of mine haha.
I can definitely see why it would scratch people’s compulsive behavior itch

As someone living in Germany I find her tunnel digging so funny, cause every few years an entire area in Germany needs to be cleared because construction workers dug down and found some WW2 bomb that needs to be diffused. Some friends that work in construction say that basically no one wants to dig in Germany anymore, cause if you find a bomb, you have to pay to get it diffused, and that tends to cost a lot. I can image in France, England or Poland it might be similar.
Have there ever been problems with people trying to avoid paying for the bomb diffuser and disposed/diffused them unsafely genuine question
Wait you have to pay to get it diffused? Why would the government (I assume) not want to incentivize getting bombs defused?
@@the_j419 I don‘t think so. I believe once you find a bomb, you‘re legally obligated to report it to authorities. Would be insanely dangerous to try to diffuse it yourself. With the amount of damage these bombs can cause, no person in their right mind would try that.
@@the_j419that’s a very American mindset
@@hannahcharles3410 We can't even afford healthcare, of course our first thought would be "how can I avoid paying these bills?"
this is my fav danny video simply for the goblin. Literally every time that part’s playing, I die of laughter. It’s the best.
was literally just thinking "this seems super dangerous and probably illegal but idk, i'm a computer dev" right before the fact that she's a computer engineer was revealed. suddenly i feel the urge to dig out a basement under my house.

7:30 I like how she's using Dido's "thank you" for the soundtrack in a video about her unsafe tunneling, because in the music video of that song the female protagonist is getting evicted from her house and the house itself demolished. Also, the lyrics is literally "and even if my house falls down now, I wouldn't have a clue". So fitting.
Morality of this can get even messier. If she gets herself buried, there will likely be a huge attempt to rescue her, and rescue operations like these rarely come without considerable risk
Reminds me of when that couple burned a forest down from a gender reveal party. A firefighter died combating the blaze.
Yeah , but if she doesn't have her phone on her when it happens, she might just d 1 e alone....
@@ASMRGRATITUDE That's a horrible thought... but considering how carelessly she's endangering everybody within miles of her (destabilizing the ground, releasing radon and carbon monoxide, contaminating the water table, not to mention flagrantly violating at least a half-dozen safety codes), I don't think I would feel sorry for her. Sometimes life doesn't give you a warning before consequences come crashing down. Literally.
The sudden tripping after mentioning her haunted closet was absolutely terrifying 😭
😭
Honestly, the comment you made about ethics asking if she was getting children to dig the tunnels was really interesting. There's a horribly tragic story of a guy doing exactly that, manipulating and hiring a kid into mining his underground suburban tunnels until an electrical fire occurred and killed the kid. Also a great example of why this is not a safe or good idea.
Oh my gosh. 😮
The children yearn for the mines
Ummm definitely need a link or more info, this sounds wild!
A swedish newspaper recently published an investigation they did into where tech companies get Mica to use in their products and discovered that many well known brands get Mica from mines in Madagascar that use only child labor. It looked absolutely terrifying since the mines consisted of small holes only small children could pass through, and it was definietely not safe. It didin't even look like a "mine" since it was just holes in the ground where the children enter. The swedish newspaper (Aftonbladet) confirmed atleast three well known car brands: Tesla, BMW and Volvo that get Mica from there. Funnily enough, The newspaper and the article was marked as unsafe on X (Previously Twitter..). I guess Elon couldn't the criticism.
@@rmags3327 pretty sure this is referring to the death of Askia Khafra, caused by crazy doomsday prepper Daniel Beckwitt. “Oki’s Weird Stories” has a deep dive on it. (Commented twice bcus I put a link to the vid n I think that gets auto hidden)

I am sort of invested now. Does she casually keep mentioning it? Does anyone have an update, preferably not on tiktok?
radon and radium are different things, radium is the shit that fucked up the radium girls who made the watches. dont look up pictures of them. radon can cause the same problems danny was saying about carbon monoxide. also it can kill you

Oh my god I thought I was the only one who noticed
I would be so pissed if I were her neighbor. She has no idea what type of structural damage she's causing to not only her own property, but to her neighbor's property.
From other coverage I’ve seen of this apparently her neighborhood also has a significant population of migrant workers who might either be in a precarious living situation where they don’t want the government involved, or just not know that zoning laws would prohibit that.
That could be the “ethical and political concerns” the article was talking about
its not legal if she doesn't have mining prement and own the mineral rights if not you are bracking the law
@@404hopenotfoundwho cares?
If that person is your neighbour you have bigger problems.
?? Do you have her building plans? Property maps? How are you so sure she's causing structural damage to her neighbors? Chill with the assumptions acting like you are a tunnelologist. As I am, with your mom.
Quick theory of mine here... If the stories are to be taken as true, the old owner of the house went insane, hearing voices and believing in hauntings, being put in a mental ward twice before moving out, now this woman moves in and not only starts having these experiences too but begins acting strangely and making all kinds of crazy projects culminating in the digging of an extremely well elaborated, deep tunnel under the neighborhood, now this house seems to be very old, built a long time ago, so my theory here is that it's safe to assume that the old owner of the house experienced either lead or asbestos poisoning, maybe even the two, and now she's experiencing it too since old houses like that were usually built out of very dangerous and toxic materials, which would explain why her actions seem so focused yet pointless.
Asbestos isn't a poison and it doesn't make you hallucinate. It's a physical material that due to its shape gets permanently lodged in your lung lining, where it turns cancerous after a couple of decades. Because the lining is stuck to your entire inside and can't be treated well, nor removed, the cancer is always fatal. It also doesn't get dispersed into the air unless it gets cut into or destroyed in some way, so she will only have breathed some if she destroyed something that happened to contain asbestos.
You could be right about the lead poisoning lol it causes hyperactivity (among other things)
Or as Danny mentioned a very subtle carbon monoxide leak! Or maybe mold?
@@sari9645 Oh yeah, totally could be one of those too, all i know is that the way she's acting seems manic and pointless so she's definitely being poisoned by something that's turning her brain into tv static lol
There’s definitely a good amount of Radon as seen at 8:20
The fact that she has not one but two empty, unused, haunted rooms in her house, yet chooses to make her home office in a cemented basement is a huge red flag. And then the whole tunnel situation. It's either her brain telling her to get away from that house, or something else urging her to go deeper
The more I've learned about this woman, the more I've grown to hate her. She's actively putting her neighbors in danger, who were not informed of the project. Apparently most of her neighbors are also going through the immigration process and were scared of reporting her project to the authorities.
Anyways, I see her as delusional and full of herself. Sure, we've all taken on an overly ambitious diy project, but this is absurd. This isn't harmless fun, she has no reason to be doing this, and is actively watching the place become a death trap with little to no care.
I can't fully explain my disdain towards her, but I hope she never gets those permits and the city fills in her stupid tunnel.
And she deflects any criticism of her project by saying that she is an engineer.. but she's a software engineer. There are specifically mining engineers who learn how to engineer tunnels and she does... software. Like she's putting all her neighbors at risk.
@@aidanboyle9063she also deflects the criticisms about abusing her neighbor’s apprehension to alert the authorities by saying “no, I wave and say hello to my neighbors all the time. We have a good relationship :)”
damn you must be a pretty good inspector to look at a video and determine the safety of a project i mean whats your expiernce because if you kept up with her you do know a firm came down and said her works good. all she is waiting on is the city to give her a permit but they are not worried about a collapse
Her voice is super annoying too
@@aidanboyle9063fun fact, software engineers can’t *legally* be called engineers in some states (mainly TX) but they still are. They used to be able to, if they went through the actual process to become a professional engineer. However, they discontinued the testing for software engineers because only like 100 people ever took the test in the years it existed
