Scariest Places on Earth: The Paris Catacombs

"Beneath Paris there are hundreds of old tunnels that were once a limestone mine. Later, in the 18th century, the cemeteries in Paris became so overstocked with corpses that the bodies would no longer decompose. The stench and disease forced the government to empty the cemeteries. The human remains had to be put somewhere so it was decided that they would be placed in the catacombs."

Agreed... very nice post, arvana. Been to see some of the catacombs in Paris (tourist areas, of course), but I never realized that they tunnel down so far and deep! Very frightening to imagine getting lost down there...
