On one visit to this secret bunker, we took an extra member as part of our team. There is always pressure when you have hyped something up to be brilliant that it will let you down on the one time that you bring someone else along. This was absolutely not the case on this particular event.
During our free time we decided that the only place we wanted to be was in the tunnel, and it didn’t disappoint. Down the end furthest from the bunker we called out, asking for tapping, knocking, speaking, anything at all to happen.
Just as our time was coming to a end and we were having a chat about the fact it had gone a bit quiet, there was an almighty banging on the door! This door separates the tunnel from a different room, one that you would walk through if you were starting a daytime tour. We thought that there MUST have been someone the other side of the door, so quickly rushed towards it for it simply stop.
Our brave new member opened the door straight away to find that there was no one the other side. They closed the door, staying in the small room and leaving us in the tunnel, when a few moments later the banging started again. None of us were touching that door, we all trust each other enough to know that no one was doing it for a laugh, but it was as though there was someone rattling it trying to get it to open.
Just as quickly as it started, and before any of us could really comprehend it was happening again, it stopped, and we were called back to the main group as our free time had ended. Walking back down the tunnel in pure shock and amazement, none of us said a word but simply smiled to ourselves.
We have all discussed this at length, we have been back multiple times, we have tried to recreate the sound, and we have been unable to explain this in any way. It will remain one of our favourite evenings until we can explain it away... which we truly hope doesn’t happen!
If you have visited the bunker, is this something that you have experienced?
