Man Unearths Secret 19th-Century Tunnel Beneath His Illinois Home
On 4/13/21 at 2:08 PM EDT
An Alton, Illinois man made a shocking discovery after the sidewalk in front of his home began to collapse.
According to FOX 2 News, farmer Gary Machens unearthed the entrance to a 19th-century tunnel after noticing the sidewalk in front of his property was sloping.
In a video segment with the news channel, he told reporters, .As we were doing some excavating and repacking of the rock.we discovered this tunnel here.
From the sidewalk, only the top sliver of the tunnel s entrance is visible, along with a brick archway. Inside, however, the underground tunnel reveals an expansive and well-built interior.
Where do you think thousands of these UACs end up?
I think the Church is complicit in this human trafficking to make money to line their own pockets in the guise of doing good deeds . They get paid the Federal money and then dump their human cargo in our cities. They are rotten to the core.
Semi-trucks full of illegal aliens that are found on our freeways all across America.
They are all human trafficked.
If they do not end up dead in a mass grave in Mexico and Central America.they end up here sex trafficking, in gangs, or peddling drugs destroying our lives and our country.

Far down the trail ahead of me, a bright light punched a hole in the darkness, beaming like a small moon. This truly was the light at the end of the tunnel â about 4,200 feet away.
A shaft of nearly total blackness stretched between us and the other side of the Claudius Crozet Blue Ridge Tunnel, a historic, 163-year-old railroad passage where steam-powered trains once powered through Afton Mountain, which straddles the Augusta and Nelson county lines.
Now, after having been sealed for more than half a century, the tunnel is open to walkers and bikers. My family recently took a day trip to Augusta County, about 90 minutes from Roanoke, to walk through the belly of a mountain.
