New York · United States · House

The sub basement under this Albany building goes down four more floors and staff call it the dungeon. A workman went missing while the concrete was being.

The Education Building in Albany, New York has a lift in its basement that goes further down. The sub basement descends another four floors, and everyone who works in the building calls it the dungeon.

The story told to every new member of staff concerns the men who laid the concrete for that floor. One of them went missing during the work. His lunch and his house keys were found. He was not. The conclusion drawn at the time, and repeated ever since, was that he had fallen into the pour and that nobody had seen it happen.

He has a name in the building, though nobody claims it was his. Staff call him Jason, for no reason anyone has been able to trace, which is itself a good indication of how long the story has been in circulation.

Reports come from people who have had to go down there, and the lower levels of a state office building are not somewhere anyone goes casually. It is a working government building rather than a site to visit.
