WAVERLY HILLS - THE TUNNEL

A.K.A. "THE DEATH TUNNEL"  A.K.A. "THE BODY CHUTE" THIS 485 FOOT TUNNEL WAS ORIGINALLY BUILT TO BRING IN SUPPLIES. IT IS KNOW TO BE USED TO TRANSPORT THE BODIES OF THE DECEASED WHEN THE T.B. EPIDEMIC REACHED ITS PEAK. THE WAVERLY STAFF THOUGHT IT BEST THAT PATIENTS COULD NOT SEE HEARSES DRIVE UP TO THE FRONT DOOR SEVERAL TIMES EACH DAY. THE TUNNEL IS ON A 30º ANGLE DOWNWARDS, AND THE WALK BACK UP CAN BE QUITE A CHORE! THE STEPS ARE ALSO AT AN ANGLE OF 9º, MAKING IT FEEL LIKE SOMEONE IS PUSHING YOU DOWN THE STAIRS.
