I am from Indiana and I lived in ther Tacoma, Washington area 30 years.
Iwas sleeping in a boiler room under Tacoma Avenue in the basement of the Brant Apartment Building. I worked there as a painter, I had the room to myself, bars on the only window, 2 doors one steal door padlocked from the outside and a stick propping the inside, the other led to a room with a civil defense manhole cover and out through a broken down wall which I had covered with around 8 old doors to keep out the cold, that door to the room I was in was hook locked from the inside, the lights were out the wind blew cold and hard as the door squeaked open and the tone of male voices and the sound of soil scratching under their weight moved closer, they lifted the tarp I had over me, I stayed still, it changed shape like a leviathan?
Any way a dog padded me again and again, one male voice said this is not it, the other said ok, and they left the same way they came in, slow and creepy, gives me chills just telling you this. I jumped up to twist that bulb in and seen the door was still latched tight, what a strange room.

you should do some research.
Anna. : D
Maybe people died in there and you were encountering their spirits
What are these civil defense shelters?
It is a place for people to go when they want to avoid bomb blasts such as from air craft or missiles. They are also called bomb shelters or blast shelters http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blast_shelter
Thanks for the info and the link Caretaker.
I’m from Canada man, we don’t really have things like that here. I know what a bomb shelter is, but I know them only in reference to private homes or govt installations. I didn’t know they had them in apt buildings as well.
Good to see you. : )
I didnt either and have never heard them called “civil defense shelter holes” before
Yeah same here man, it gave me visions of manholes and labyrinthine tunnels and deep dark underground secrets.
