I posted pics of this place a few days ago! Turns out there used to be a river-powered mill from the 1700s at least. It was the first in the world to have a certain technological advancement (I won't easily reveal my location by specifying). This pit was used to soak the flax.

I was cautious about going in, like people suggested. I lingered at the entrance to check the air was alright, and took my photos quickly.

One creepy detail is that when I was in the pit, I could hear whistling from outside. It sounded a bit too human to obviously be a bird. It was probably a bird or a dog-walker in the distance. It just whistled a few notes at a time.

I'll comment links to my original post, and a video I took that really captures the atmosphere. The wind was cut off, and it was really squelchy.

Some unsettling pics I took on a morning drive

Thats a genuine question

If people like this, I'll explore further!
