White House proposes new underground visitor screening facility

The Trump administration has proposed the construction of an underground facility to screen visitors to the White House. The National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC) is scheduled to consider plans for the approximately 33,000-square-foot visitor screening facility that would be built entirely on federal land in Sherman Park, located southeast of the White House.

The NCPC, responsible for approving construction projects on federal land in the Washington, D.C., region, has listed the plans on the agenda for its April 2 meeting. These plans were developed by the Executive Office of the President in conjunction with the U.S. Secret Service, the Interior Department, and the National Park Service.

Construction of the new facility could begin as early as this fall, with completion expected by July 2028. The facility would allow visitors to queue in multiple entry lanes for an initial ID check before proceeding to a new lobby and another security checkpoint. Designed to accommodate large groups, the proposed screening area aims to improve the visitor experience significantly.

Currently, visitors to the White House line up in nearby parks before entering security checkpoints housed in trailers and tents. Due to the construction of the White House’s new East Wing ballroom, visitors are now gathering at an alternate location in Lafayette Park.

The NCPC’s plans do not provide an estimated cost for the project or specify where funding would come from. White House spokesman Davis Ingle told CBS News, “For far too long, visitors to the White House have had a reduced experience where they were required to begin their tours by entering temporary, double-wide trailers and tents outside, often in uncomfortable weather conditions. This President took it upon himself to modernize the experience for visitors touring the People’s House from beginning to end. President Trump is committed to giving all visitors to the White House the best experience possible. The new Visitor Center will be state of the art in design and highlight the beautiful history of the White House and our Nation’s Capital.”

The NCPC is working to mitigate the facility’s impact on historic sites. According to the plans, the existing statue of Union General William Tecumseh Sherman in Sherman Park would remain in place. However, there are plans for landscape restoration aimed at enhancing the park’s character.

At least six trees will be removed as part of the construction but will be replaced with suitable native species and landscaping. The plans also prioritize maintaining public access to the park and ensuring the new structures do not detract from the surrounding buildings and monuments, taking into account visitor use and the area’s aesthetic appeal.

This underground screening facility is expected to modernize and streamline the visitor experience while preserving the historic and cultural significance of Sherman Park and its surroundings.

4Chan user checks out bunker his paranoid grandfather created, inside they find human remains and faces carved into the walls

**Disturbing Discovery in Grandfather’s Secret Bunker: A 4Chan Mystery**

In 2012, a chilling story surfaced on 4Chan, where an anonymous user shared a disturbing discovery about their recently deceased grandfather. Although the original post was deleted shortly after it was made, screenshots of the message and accompanying images have continued to circulate online. The eerie nature of the story has made it a popular subject for true crime YouTubers and creators who focus on unsolved internet mysteries. One such YouTuber, known as Coop, documented the case while including screenshots of the original post.

### The Grandfather’s Creepy Bunker

The original poster (OP) began by explaining that their last living grandparent, an 89-year-old grandfather, had passed away. The grandfather was said to be a World War II veteran who was deeply paranoid about the possibility of another war erupting at any moment. To prepare for what he believed was an inevitable apocalypse, the grandfather had built a secret bunker.

At one point, the OP recalls asking their grandfather about the bunker. The response was chilling — the grandfather warned them to stay away, labeling the bunker as “just a ____.” The OP couldn’t quite catch the last word but thought it sounded like “ah Sioux air,” leaving the exact meaning mysterious and unsettling.

### Exploring the Bunker

After the grandfather’s death, the OP decided to investigate the bunker, expecting to find typical survival supplies such as rations and tools for enduring a nuclear war. What they discovered, however, was far more disturbing.

Navigating through winding tunnels carved into rock, the OP came upon a large iron door secured with a padlock. The lock was rusted enough to be broken open, and inside, the atmosphere grew increasingly eerie.

Deeper within one room, the OP found a cross carved into the stone wall, surrounded by numerous faces also carved into the rock. Photos shared along with the post reveal these unsettling carvings, which add to the mystery’s haunting nature.

### A Gruesome Discovery

Things took a darker turn when the OP noticed what appeared to be a human bone beneath some debris on the floor. More bones seemed to emerge from the concrete itself. Adding to the terror, the OP claims to have heard laughter echoing through the tunnels before fleeing the bunker as quickly as possible.

### What Was the Bunker?

No updates from the original poster have surfaced since then. Speculation has run rampant online. Some suggest the bunker might have been used by the grandfather as a subterranean burial site for loved ones. Another 4Chan user proposed that the word the grandfather used to describe the bunker — which OP misheard as “ah Sioux air” — could have been “ossuary,” a term for a place where human bones are kept.

### Fact or Fiction?

This story remains an internet mystery, shrouded in uncertainty. How much of it is true, and how much might be fabricated? The fact that the OP deleted their post soon after sharing it raises questions. What would be the motivation for inventing such an elaborate lie only to remove it so quickly?

We may never know the full truth about the grandfather’s bunker or the origins of the disturbing tale. For now, it remains one of those eerie stories that continue to captivate and unsettle those fascinated by unsolved internet mysteries.
