A police officer pounced on the reptile, managing to avoid its snapping jaws while another officer tied them shut. The gator legend was elevated further by Teddy May, a New York City sewer official who reported spotting the animals in the s. In a book, the author Robert Daley wrote that Mr. May was dubious when his crew first reported seeing a big albino alligator and various gator colonies in the sewers. After seeing the gators himself, Mr. May had his men take up rifles and hunt them down, he claimed.
While Mr. Daley told The Times in that he believed Mr. By the s, the legend had worked its way into popular culture. Even pornographic films were not immune to the gator legend. Inquiries from around the world about sewer alligators are still fielded by the department, whose mascot was once a sunglasses-sporting gator emerging from a manhole.
Flushed down the toilet as a pet, he becomes a giant mutant alligator who lives in the sewers. It is illegal under both New York State and city law to buy, sell or own alligators without a permit. Releasing them outdoors can result in criminal charges for endangering the public. There are numerous stories about post offices that deal with escaped baby alligators.
There could well be a new story any day of a fresh report about an alligator being found in the NYC sewers. If there is, then it will be an isolated creature—probably an escapee from a zoo or an exotic pet that has been discarded. The nearest I have come personally to exploring forgotten tunnels, was when I visited Edinburgh, Scotland and took a 'ghost' tour of the recently rediscovered catacombs there. I'm sure London does, but for whatever reason, it's Paris, France which is also especially well known for forgotten tunnels, and I believe that in Paris, these are often catacombs.
This stuff fascinates me especially because where I live in north Texas, I've seen exactly ONE house with even a basement. You can't dig deep here without hitting water, and so the idea of being underneath the ground is just extremely foreign to me. I was aware of the seedy underbelly of Las Vegas, where over 1, people live in the underground tunnels beneath Sin City, so it shouldn't come as any surprise that a similar scenario exists in one of the world's biggest metropoles.
It's such a big city, and it's been inhabited for a long time, and things have changed and changed and changed. So essentially, there are forgotten ones. Records lost and such. Hi Wesman, thanks for that.
It sounds like something else worthy of research. Surely there are blueprints from when they were originally built? What were there intended purpose, do you know? Not just sewers, but massive systems of abandoned and currently used tunnels. Animal Guides. The Paranormal. Out-of-Body Experiences. Urban Legends. Feng Shui. Advanced Ancient Civilizations. Welcome to Exemplore! Sewers are dark, dangerous, and scary places. There's lots of nasty stuff down there, from rats to garbage and, well, sewage.
But what about the infamous colonies of alligators? That claim has been around for decades, and you've probably heard some version of tale that started it, in which a young boy gets a baby alligator for his birthday and flushes it down the toilet, not knowing what else to do about it.
Years later, as the story goes, that same boy reaches into a sewer grate for a lost baseball, and his arm is ripped off by his former pet, now monstrous and ravenous for blood.
