Have you ever been in a place that is utterly and completely dark?

You don’t know dark until you’ve been in a place that truly has no light at all.

I visited the Lackawanna Coal Mine in Scranton, Pennsylvania. The mine is no longer worked for coal. Instead they take visitors down. After the guide took us through the features of the place—really pretty hard to believe in their own right—she cut the switch, and we were in total, absolute, suffocating darkness.

It’s not something I’ll forget.

Have you ever had an experience like that? What did you think? Tell us.
