The Paris Catacombs | The Lost Man Footage - The Castro Files 51

The Paris Catacombs, formerly quarries, have been around for centuries. The winding tunnels are an estimated 200 miles long and lined with the bones of millions of Parisians.

During the late 1700's Paris had a dead body problem. So many people had died over the millennia that the Cemetaries were filled, and bodies were piling up. This led to diseases spreading so they had to find a solution. A solution directly under the city of Paris, in the catacombs.

The catacombs aren't just a dumping ground for the dead, the bones of the people relocated were placed in a very unique manner, almost artfully so.

Over the years several people have gone missing below ground. One unlucky guy even had his video camera with him recording his movements, until something scares him so bad that he drops the camera and runs frantically into the dark - The Lost Man.
