      Thanks Gordon. That's my son's handy work. There was a lot of hungry looking life in there. I wouldn't want to fall in and be the next meal.

    The music is insanely creepy. I was expecting some type of scare to happen.
    Great job!

    On the way down the camera seemed to pass through a dense layer of aquatic E.T.’s, only they weren’t pointing “Home” with their index finger!

    Amazing clip. Loved the sound and the animation at the start, and especially the transition from animation to real footage. What where these cisterns used for?

    •  6 років тому +3

      Thanks for watching Danny. Cisterns were used as a water supply for washing, cooking etc. On a farm it may have served as animal drinking water.

    Pretty cool ecosystem. I wonder what the oxygen levels are in the air pocket at the top of the cistern. I imagine not much with all of the life inside.

    •  4 роки тому

      That’s right, not a lot of oxygen able to get in there. They probably won’t see the light of day for many years to come.

    Any story or history on this? What was the function and purpose? How did it work? why so many tiny bugs?

    •  6 років тому +5

      Not much known about this one. It would be fed by rain water from roofs then pumped out probably for animal drinking water.

    I just bought an old farm house last month that someone flipped. I was walking around my property last week and tripped over a piece of plywood covering a hole. A little more investigation took place, and it turns out I have a 19th century cistern directly next to my house. Anyone know if I can divert my gutters into it? I know nothing about these..

    •  2 роки тому

      Your down pipes probably are or were connected originally. Check to see if they are clear and listen for water running into the cistern.

  • @brianbarnes9635
    @brianbarnes9635 2 роки тому

    I have two of these at a property I have in the country. No electricity /running water so they very much come in handy for watering my garden and stuff. I am concerned about their strength. They look like they're in very good condition.

    •  2 роки тому

      I know of one that had a 2x2ft hole smashed through the dome top for access to fit a pump. It’s been like that for years without any problems. It even has a car parked on top of it occasionally.

    • @brianbarnes9635
      @brianbarnes9635 2 роки тому

      @ I've ran into mine with a tractor a few times and drove over the base of the other one and no problem. Just afraid one of these days it'll collapse! Lol

      May I ask what you use to pump your water out of your cistern?

  • @danielcampbell1839
    @danielcampbell1839 3 роки тому

    I have one in my backyard should be as old as the house, there is an electric pump connected in the basement, I have used it on grass acts like a super water, stink is bad like methane as it come out of the hose, thinking of using the water to fill this new pool...free water!

    •  3 роки тому

      Probably a lot of rotting debris in the bottom, great that you can use it though.

    What exactly are those bugs/creatures in the water? They remind me of the Sea Monkeys I had once. Very creepy and I shutter to think if I were pushed in. 🙈😂

    •  4 роки тому +1

      I think they must be something like them, there were leeches too. Not the type of place you want to take a dip especially when its their breeding season.
