Legend has it that the storm drain, tucked in the woods behind an apartment complex in Blue Ash, Cincinnati, was once a gathering ground for Satanists who managed to open a portal into the netherworld.
The folklore is so pervasive that the supposedly haunted tunnel system, also known as “Satan’s Hollow”, has become a hotspot for local teenagers and ghost enthusiasts.
“It’s rough on the homeowners,” Blue Ash Police Lieutenant Steve Schueler told WCPO. “People park in their driveway and try to get into the drainage system and nobody likes that. (The owner) has had to chase off some people, for sure.”
Visitors commonly claim to hear screams coming from the drain system, or see floating faces in the darkness.

In a YouTube report, popular ghost hunter David Scott called the site “one of the scariest locations I have ever investigated”.
Scott, who used a “spirit box” in an attempt to communicate with ghosts in the tunnels, pointed out graffiti such as, “This way to God’s Chamber,” “Badlands” and “666.”
He also said the dank tunnel was notorious for sacrificial killings.
But Lt Schuller dismissed the claim as fabricated rumour.
“We’ve never had human sacrifice or any animal killings,” he said. “We’ve never had any of that.”
