So there's a really fun story they were telling there that you're able to get just from two little rooms.
E
78:46EdHOST
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.
E
78:53EdHOST
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.

Still not quite sure.
Going 'Behind the Mirror' with 'TheSwan'
S

That was definitely my favorite place that we went.

The Catacombs?
S
0:36ShaunaHOST
The Catacombs was sick.
O
0:37OliviaHOST
Glad you made it out.
S
0:38ShaunaHOST
Yes.
S
0:39ShaunaHOST
We did not get taken by the as above so below creatures.
S

We did the Catacombs, the Eiffel Tower.

We saw the-

A massive network.
S
15:40speaker_4HOST
Or the Paris Catacombs.
S
15:42speaker_4HOST
We are told that they are 174 miles long.
S
15:46speaker_4HOST
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.

when it will come in handy.

2:19AndyHOST
The catacombs we are going to talk about today are a particular set of catacombs.
A
2:22AndyHOST
Catacombs are actually, I wouldn't say common, but they exist in multiple places.
A
2:28AndyHOST
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.
A
2:37AndyHOST
I used to go there when I was a kid pretty often.

Catacombs.
Episode 273: J.W. Ocker (Author: "Don't Go There" and "Chasing the Headless Horseman" OUT NOW!)
J
24:46J.W. OckerGUEST
That is a good question.
J
24:48J.W. OckerGUEST
One place in the book that I haven't visited that I've always wanted to is the Paris Catacombs.
J
24:52J.W. OckerGUEST
So I put that in the book.
J
24:53J.W. OckerGUEST
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
25:13J.W. OckerGUEST
There's weird, people have found weird stuff down there.
J
25:16J.W. OckerGUEST
So it's a good example of a tourist spot that is actually just the tip of the iceberg.
J
25:19J.W. OckerGUEST
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
25:25J.W. OckerGUEST
And I always, in my mind, I'm always like, I need to go there.
The Catacombs - Pt 1
S
7:02speaker_10HOST
But now is the time for all of us to get a clearer understanding of what really took place in the past.
S
7:09speaker_10HOST
Catacombs all over the world on their website explaining that these go down 131 steps under Paris, France.
S
7:17speaker_10HOST
Tunnels that cover nearly 2,000 acres.
S
7:24speaker_10HOST
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.
AS ABOVE SO BELOW
T
15:20Tawan GriffinHOST
I think the way...
T
15:22Tawan GriffinHOST
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.
T
15:35Tawan GriffinHOST
Like, that, to me, would have just been boring...
T
15:38Tawan GriffinHOST
As opposed to, you know, this was, I feel like it was trying something.
12 MINS LATER
T
27:16Tawan GriffinHOST
And it released, as we said earlier, on August 29th, 2014, making this movie 12 years old now.
T
27:26Tawan GriffinHOST
Crazy.
T
27:27Tawan GriffinHOST
The movie was actually filmed in the Paris Catacombs, giving the production a location that is considerably more authentic than the traditional horror set.
T
27:36Tawan GriffinHOST
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.

This is going to be hard on me mentally.

We're going to start off with a story entitled Spider Monster in Paris Catacombs, 1894.

Paris, can't go there,
C

hey? I always wanted to go there, but...
Jeff Belanger: The World's Most Haunted Places, Ghosts in the White House & the Three Deaths
J
21:33Jeff BelangerGUEST
I made a bunch of updates, found new experiences at some of the older s- sites.
J
21:37Jeff BelangerGUEST
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.
J
21:46Jeff BelangerGUEST
And it's a place I've been to twice now, um, and I'll never forget it.
J
21:50Jeff BelangerGUEST
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.

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.
P
2:24Peter NaldrettGUEST
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.
P
2:39Peter NaldrettGUEST
And in the gift shop, um, we saw a book about dark tourism.
P
2:47Peter NaldrettGUEST
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.
