I was exploring a mine and my light fell on this in a huge cavern. (lemmy.nz)

I almost had a heart attack... but found out it's just a wooden cut out from when it was a show mine 40 years ago.

That is utterly horrifying.

Any pictures up close? I mean, I'm already going to have nightmares from this anyway.

I don't have pics of this one as I couldn't get up close safely, but there were plenty of other figures waiting in the darkness.

Just make sure they didn't follow you home.

I assume the mine was in the town of Silent Hill

It's actually in your huge gaping butthole.

"Show mine"

Of course, one of those

There's plenty of them about, particularly in Wales. They're just former working mines, usually slate, that were open to the public for tours at some point.

Did you find out it was wood because you shot it?
