Onnes Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 What is even a basement. Never seen one in my life!In Florida it's a fancy word for an indoors inground swimming pool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisek Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 I remember my grandparents' basement, my grandfather dug the damn thing out himself. The ceiling was maybe 5 feet high so you have to stoop to even get into the place, there were no lights or anything, just wood supports and dirt. And of course, it was full of spiders, not your regular run-of-the-mill "spider webs here and there", but armies of spiders, scuttling around everywhere. There were also centipedes, harvestmen (those not-really-spiders with the really long legs), earwigs, and a whole host of other horrors, locked in mortal combat in this horrible arthropod jungle. Don't even get me started on the attic, or how the entire house itself was crawling with insects.It was these childhood experiences that solidified my stance of never living in the country.

Skylar Husky Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 I think the creepiest basement I have ever visited was the basement in the Winchester Mystery House.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winchester_Mystery_Househttp://www.winchestermysteryhouse.com/photogallery.cfmSarah Winchester, who was married to William Wirt Winchester, the famous Rifle manufacturer, outlived William. She moved from Boston to San Jose, California and moved into a house to begin renovations to a farmhouse there. A medium told her that the ghosts of people brought down by her husband's guns would continue to haunt her. In an effort to confuse the ghosts or spirits, she just built and built on the house for decades until her death. There were stairs to nowhere, doors into thirty foot (10 m) shafts, bathrooms which did not function and a whole host of odd and eccentric things going on. Part of the daily tours available include a tour of the grounds and basement. The basement was a creepy place there. It was unfinished and had dirt inside it. It was a place for all sorts of creepy crawlies at one time.The house serves as an Inspiration to Stephen King's book, Rose Red and subsequent movie.

Catilda Lily Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 That's not a basement, that's a glorified crawlspace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caretaker Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 @MissFleece Look on the upside, at least the Breaker Panel isn't down there.Basements seem to be one of those things that seem made for horrors, everything from creepy spider webs to sewage backup (if you live in the wrong place).

DrGravitas Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 (edited) sewage backup (if you live in the wrong place).sewage backupsewage backupsewage backupI'm having flash backs to the beginning of the year. X(My basement started backing up. Happened a couple times. Ended up dropping ~4K on repairing the out-sewage pipe, which had separated due to sagging land. Could have been worse. I almost had to have a big chunk dug out of my landscaping and possibly lose my part of my sidewalk in the process. Fortunately, I found a company with a very interesting inner lining solution (they basically cure a new, stronger pipe inside the current pipe.) Came with a 10 year parts and labor all inclusive warranty, too! Edited October 16, 2015 by DrGravitas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I don't bomb it before I go down they're EVERYWHERE and I can't handle it. I have a low tolerance for things touching me without my consent.

Spot Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Scared of going in the basement? Sounds like Hollywood might have warped your fragile little mind. Time to woman up and get on with it, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratmomma Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 It's kind of like this, but instead of the wall near the top, it's just dirt. You can see the pipes to everything and the underside of the house like thisI can take pictures tomorrow but I'm not going down there again tonight. Looks like my dad's basement...MICHIGAN IS SCARY BASEMENT STATE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
