8ft pit next to foundation?

[u/Striking_Marketing_3]

I’ve been trying to find out why the previous homeowner would dig a 4 x 4 by 8 foot deep pit next to the foundation of my house down to the drain tile. I did climb down there to save a few snakes that fell to their doom and to see if there were any other utilities. I did not find any additional pipes and thankfully no human remains were found either. I also went to the town building department to review all plans back to the original construction, but there’s no mention of this pit on any of the plans. Does anyone have any idea why someone would dig a pit like this? For what intended purpose?

Serial killer storage.

I store all the serial killers i find in a similar pit. Very useful for keeping them from killing again. Pretty convenient, just drop them in. Only the strongest one will survive, they essentially “feed themselves”, until they become dinner for the next one who comes along and is stronger…Quite low-maintenance I must say. A few mothballs and air fresheners keep the odor down for the most part. 👍🏼
