DOWN IN THE SEWERS

Ye Editor never ventures into sewers.  He finds them uncongenial.  But strange things are said to lurk there.

In London in 1851 there was a tradition that feral pigs were on the rampage down there.  A gravid sow, it was said, had farrowed down there and the pigs were her descendants.  Do descendants still rove underneath Britain's capital?  Who knows.  

In the Water Treatment and Water Management plant in Sussex, England, there is rumored to be a strange, shuffling figure which ceases to shuffle when lights are shone on it.  The sound of voices has also been reported.  Perhaps there is a plurality of shufflers.

CCTV has revealed , it is said, a humanoid creature in the sewer of Newtownards, Ireland, which is near to where I am writing from at present.  It has been given the nickname Sewerface.
