A Tour of the Most haunted Place on Earth
The catacombs, located beneath the bustling City of Paris, house the remains of over 6 million people. Many are unaware of this hidden underground network, as when the word "Paris" is mentioned, thoughts of the iconic Eiffel Tower or romantic strolls in the city of love come to mind. However, beneath the surface lies a series of tunnels that were originally dug in the 14th century to extract limestone, a valuable mineral found in the rich ground. These mines, built horizontally to prevent collapse, were primarily situated on the right side of the river. As Paris expanded beyond its old city walls, the city faced challenges when constructing buildings atop the previously excavated land.

While colonization brought about some infrastructural developments, it also had a detrimental impact on Africa's socio-economic and political landscape, ultimately contributing to poverty on the continent.

"Lot 8's Hidden Secrets: Unveiling Clues to Oak Island's Enigmatic History"
Gary Drayton, an expert in metal detection, along with his companion, Jack Begley, have set their sights on Lot 8, a parcel of land located nearly half a mile away on the western side of Oak Island.
