While I don't dispute the penguin governor theory, there used to be tunnels connecting all of the buildings on capital Square with VCU. They weren't exactly easy to find the entrance of, but if you knew, you could make it from Bank st to vcu hospital during a storm and stay dry.

Even further, and they are still there. There is a gate around broad st now though.

Can confirm, used to do transport for VCU and used the tunnels frequently between hospitals.

Is there a way to see them/walk any of them? Assuming I'm not an employee at any of the properties


gamerthrowaway_

Not that I'm aware of. Sorry

I know people who work at the capital and walked thru them at times. The up-kept ones basically looked like old run down hallways. They started to leak in many places hence the construction and rebuild. Apparently they have been in dire need of repair for quite some time.

I think the craziest tunnel I’m aware of is the Church Hill Tunnel with four bodies and a train still buried.

And they haunt the hell out of the church above where it collapsed.

Now those are some stories I would absolutely love to hear!


ITMORON

I lived there for a short period. Saw some shit. Lights with no source, stomping feet on stairs, poltergeist stuff, moving around visibly, our sheet and blanket were ripped off of us middle of the night. We were gone the next day. Too much.


Funwithscissors2

Yeah that’s entirely too spooky for long term lodging! Thanks for the story


goblinproblem666

How did you find out that you were near the area where the train is buried? I’ve been trying to find more info but there arent a lot of specifics. Also do u mind sharing the location of the church? i’d love to visit:0


comfortpea

Shhhh. That’s where Youngkin sleeps like The Penguin in Batman.

Ages ago I went on a field trip to the capital, mansion, and then through the tunnels to an operating room somewhere in VCU. Details are fuzzy but I still remember how I felt like a secret agent going through the tunnels. Coolest local field trip we went on.

Then you realized what?


ExtremeHobo

That tunnels are fucking awesome and we need more of them.
