The Deadliest Haunted Castle
voices behind him and wondered if they had timed it
too late, and if something had happened to the last people to enter
and they did not know if they should go back or ignore it.
    They soon discovered that it was only the
last people that entered had seen a light deep in the wood before
they entered!
    If there were a death he wondered how the
police would handle the situation if confronted with it and what
the outcome would be?
    “ We
better have our weapons ready anyway!” Mitchell warned his men
behind him, as he stood in front of them, removing his weapon and
putting it back, and waited for the others to remove their weapons
and get the feel of them.
    Merton went
with Mitchell, in front of everyone, and Bryson and Mortimer
followed them, with others in their usual formation following.
    It was not as
bad as it had been! They had renewed the energy in their lights and
had more equipment that they needed, and could easily camp out in
the tunnel if they needed to, and were not trapped, plodding on
into the night.
    Bryson tested the floor of the tunnel, which
was dry packed mud and rock, wondering if it was a new form of
mining that had created the walls. The technology behind it could
be worth a great deal if it was what he thought it was, and the
technology behind it was unknown, just like the creature that they
found there, which had incredibly been able to burrow through the
ground with its immense size, which they had not heard of before,
which he would have dismissed as impossible.
    It surprised him that if the technology to
do it existed, and was unknown, how did it get there? Where did it
come from?
    Yet there was no proof and he did not know
if he ever could prove it existed, and even doubted if the evidence
and technology would be found, and yet could something like the
creature have created the tunnel though?
    Merton shifted around and spoke silently
with Mortimer in conversations breaking the deep silence that kept
emerging.
    Bryson noticed the shaft prevented water
flooding it by descending slightly. Small amounts of water had
seeped through cracks, flowing down it to places it could exit from
the tunnel. Yet he still never knew if it was deliberately built
for long lasting use, and most of all why it was built, and he
recalled the people that had made the human sacrifice back in the
cavity. Yet that never made sense either! Why go to such lengths to
build a tunnel and cavity? The time it would have taken could have
been incredible!
    “ Who built this? ” Mitchell moaned loudly
once, trying to get them to give him something to solve one of the
mysteries, but nobody replied and he thought of some other
conclusion.
    It reminded Bryson of the shaft that he had
seen in the last castle, and had been built by William Randall. Yet
the other tunnels there were made in the normal way without such
technology. Yet the castle, if it existed, was built there about
1880, according the information they had heard. The technology of
the tunnel was far more advanced, even by the current
technology.
    Over and over he thought of it and did not
have a clue what a tunnel was doing in a wood! Why had they gone to
such lengths to construct it? What hidden motive had been behind
it?
    They had to have put it there for logical
reasons as all the constructions that he could recall had been
built for. They had built them for their needs!
    “ Was it originally part of water
system, ” Merton mumbled to Mortimer, confused at the enormous distance
it had, trying to recollect something such as it.
    “ Therefore, we should meet with where
the water went! ” Mitchell answered.
    Merton pointed the light straight out in
front of him, illuminating the ground many feet further down into
it, and examined it. And he lunged forward as if he had decided
that he wanted get to the source of it as soon as possible. He
shifted down examining it going into the darkness, which seemed to
go on endlessly, searching for any evidence of anything.
