So there's a really fun story they were telling there that you're able to get just from two little rooms.
EdHOST
78:46
So great storytelling, great environment where you're in the Paris catacombs and you're surrounded by this empire of the dead and these bones at all times.
EdHOST
78:53
And a really, really great ending story where it's like this secret nightclub where you get to watch murder live on stage and you get access, greeted, of course, by the Invisible Man with another great, great effect where it looks like the Invisible Man is right in front of you.
EdHOST

Still not quite sure.
ShaunaHOST
0:33
That was definitely my favorite place that we went.
OliviaHOST
0:35
The Catacombs?
ShaunaHOST
0:36
The Catacombs was sick.
OliviaHOST
0:37
Glad you made it out.
ShaunaHOST
0:38
Yes.
ShaunaHOST
0:39
We did not get taken by the as above so below creatures.
ShaunaHOST
0:43
We did the Catacombs, the Eiffel Tower.
ShaunaHOST
0:46
We saw the-
speaker_4HOST
15:38
A massive network.
speaker_4HOST
15:40
Or the Paris Catacombs.
speaker_4HOST
15:42
We are told that they are 174 miles long.
speaker_4HOST
15:46
However, only a small portion is open to the public, extending deep beneath the city streets, representing one of the largest grave sites in the world.
AndyHOST

when it will come in handy.
AndyHOST
2:19
The catacombs we are going to talk about today are a particular set of catacombs.
AndyHOST
2:22
Catacombs are actually, I wouldn't say common, but they exist in multiple places.
AndyHOST
2:28
But we're going to talk about the Paris catacombs because, yes, they are, in fact, my specialty in the sense that I grew up less than a 10-minute walk away from them.
AndyHOST
2:37
I used to go there when I was a kid pretty often.

When I asked you what we should do our October podcast about, what did you say?
speaker_2SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
34:09
Catacombs.
J.W. OckerGUEST
24:46
That is a good question.
J.W. OckerGUEST
24:48
One place in the book that I haven't visited that I've always wanted to is the Paris Catacombs.
J.W. OckerGUEST
24:52
So I put that in the book.
J.W. OckerGUEST
24:53
It's a good example to talk about, too, because it's a tourist destination, right? You go in, you go down, you come out to the gift shop.
J.W. OckerGUEST
25:13
There's weird, people have found weird stuff down there.
J.W. OckerGUEST
25:16
So it's a good example of a tourist spot that is actually just the tip of the iceberg.
J.W. OckerGUEST
25:19
And if you actually dug deep into Paris catacombs, but I've never been, I've been to Paris, but I've never been to Paris catacombs.
J.W. OckerGUEST
25:25
And I always, in my mind, I'm always like, I need to go there.
speaker_10HOST
7:02
But now is the time for all of us to get a clearer understanding of what really took place in the past.
speaker_10HOST
7:09
Catacombs all over the world on their website explaining that these go down 131 steps under Paris, France.
speaker_10HOST
7:17
Tunnels that cover nearly 2,000 acres.
speaker_10HOST
7:24
right below the city that we all walk on where we can explore about one mile of this place when it has 200 miles of bone lined walls and yet again two for two today though only a small part is explored and open to the public so we are getting an understanding that this six million total people is probably much more and again we have all asked where did this advanced civilization go i am simply researching and sharing what i find but we can all speculate that it's possible that they are all right below us a major reason in my opinion that these cities hold a very powerful energy one that draws a mass amount of people to them.
Tawan GriffinHOST
15:20
I think the way...
Tawan GriffinHOST
15:22
Because it was like the way it was, and I wasn't expecting it to go that route, I kind of liked it a bit more than it just being run-of-the-mill, oh, we're in the Paris catacombs and there's some weird shit down here.
Tawan GriffinHOST
15:35
Like, that, to me, would have just been boring...
Tawan GriffinHOST
15:38
As opposed to, you know, this was, I feel like it was trying something.

Tawan GriffinHOST

And it released, as we said earlier, on August 29th, 2014, making this movie 12 years old now.
Tawan GriffinHOST
27:26
Crazy.
Tawan GriffinHOST
27:27
The movie was actually filmed in the Paris Catacombs, giving the production a location that is considerably more authentic than the traditional horror set.
Tawan GriffinHOST
27:36
The filmmakers reportedly had access to areas of the Catacombs that aren't normally open to the public, and the film's title comes from the hermetic principle associated with the Emerald Tablet as above so below.
ChelseaHOST
4:57
This is going to be hard on me mentally.
TaylorHOST
4:59
We're going to start off with a story entitled Spider Monster in Paris Catacombs, 1894.
TaylorHOST
5:05
Paris, can't go there,
ChelseaHOST
5:06
hey? I always wanted to go there, but...
Jeff BelangerGUEST
21:33
I made a bunch of updates, found new experiences at some of the older s- sites.
Jeff BelangerGUEST
21:37
Um, the one place where I truly had an experience was the Catacombs of Paris, France, and that's when I had my first, what I would say, absolute ghost experience.
Jeff BelangerGUEST
21:46
And it's a place I've been to twice now, um, and I'll never forget it.
Jeff BelangerGUEST
21:50
It, it's, it's these tunnels underneath the city of Paris filled with bones, uh, just completely to the brim with bones in this very macabre pattern.
Peter NaldrettGUEST
2:11
Um, so the sort of origin story for the book, if you like, goes back to, uh, 2024, and we were in Paris, and we were, we were there to watch the Olympics in 2024.
Peter NaldrettGUEST
2:24
And, um, on one day when we didn't have tickets, we went to the catacombs, the Paris Catacombs, which are, uh, amazing and fill- full of old bones, um, and skulls and everything.
Peter NaldrettGUEST
2:39
And in the gift shop, um, we saw a book about dark tourism.
Peter NaldrettGUEST
2:47
Um, and that sort of triggered conversations with me and my kids, um, about whether it was okay, whether that book was okay to actually, to actually write.
