Homeless man living in the Freedom Tunnel - an Amtrak train tunnel under the west side highway in New York City.
Stories of "mole people" have always intrigued me. Years ago I went urban exploring in search of these mole people living in the tunnels under New York City. I found some of them in the Freedom Tunnel, a train tunnel that runs under the West Side highway.
This tunnel is well known for its graffiti, but is also the home to several homeless people. Two of these men were nice enough to invite me into their homes in the train tunnel.
This video is a short interview with Walter, a homeless man who has lived in the Freedom Tunnel for over 20 years.
Sadly Walter passed away about 9 years ago. The last I checked no one had taken up his old home - the exact location of which was edited in the video, so it wasn't revealed.
