Pogue's Run is an urban creek in and coming out of the city of Indianapolis, Indiana. Once it reaches downtown Indianapolis, the creek is buried in an underground labyrinth of tunnels and drainage pipes. To be completely honest, as much as I love Indianapolis, Pogue's Run is quite filthy and no human being should every bathe in its contaminated waters. It was blocked up around 1914 and 1915, and the official reasonings were that the creek frequently flooded the inner city, and just didn't match up with the layouts of the city planners.

Or at least, that was the official reason. The following is the journal of a surviving member from an urban exploration group. As far as we know, Claude Thompson is the last surviving member of the Indianapolis Youth Exploration Club (IYEC), a group he had started with his friends in 1982. These are his logs:

Introduction
If anybody is reading this, greetings from 1982. My name is Claude Thompson, and I am one of the founding members of the Indianapolis Youth Exploration Club and its official logger for our explorations. The following in this journal is our exploration of the Pogue's Run urban creek. Hopefully you will enjoy hearing what we found.

Log 1: Sewage Area (Built 1914-15)
Our first exploration has gone very well, if not a bit eerie. In case of squatters (homeless people inhabiting abandoned areas, often armed and dangerous) each exploration we have a single member bring some sort of weapon. I was that person this exploration, and I came in with a switchblade. Anyways, on to the exploration itself.

We wandered the short creek for a bit, and went through some short tunnels. The smell was rancid, however we also had heard rumors of a door where the creek cuts off that we could probably pick open, so we perservered. The creek is 11 miles, however we had started at the 9 mile point in order to get to the cut off area where the river seemed to vanish into a parking lot. Eventually, we made it to the cut off point, and there was indeed a door there. Our designated lockpick, Jeffrey, had no challenge with the flimy old lock stopping the door from being opened, and what we found inside was nothing interesting. There was a glass window overlooking the creek flowing into the sewer systems, and some control buttons on a console to the side. The main feature, however, was a large metal (couldn't tell what kind of metal, however) door. Labeled on it was "ZUGRIFF AUF FORSCHER NUR ZUGELASSEN." While I have no idea what this means, it seemed to be some sort of "DO NOT ENTER" sign. Another odd thing was a strange "DING" noise coming from within the corridors behind the steel door - it was like that of a small bell. Anyways, we left a few minutes later, and the exploration has been fruitless for now. Anyways, I'll be writing on what happened in the next log soon.

Log 2: Project Paperclip and Die Glocke
My God, what have we done?
