Beneath Istanbul’s historic Grand Bazaar, the old Byzantine tunnels have been sealed for decades. Yet on some nights, a terrifying presence appears at the entrances. Shopkeepers report hearing screams and stones dragging in the silence. A black shadow moves across the walls, and an icy chill fills the air.
One night guard saw a dark silhouette approaching him. It had no face and no footsteps. Darkness suffocated him, leaving him speechless and paralyzed. The next day, he was found with deep claw marks on his neck.
The tunnels hide sinister secrets. According to legend, Byzantine priests once performed dark rituals here, sacrificing souls to trap them. Since then, the place is believed to be cursed.
Nobody dares to enter the tunnels at night. The black shadow still roams with the spirits of the dead, waiting for its next victim. In the heart of Istanbul, this cursed underworld remains.
