Theres something else to consider about PUC-Rio, the prestigious jesuit university, that might be interesting.

When we hosted the olimpics and worldcup back to back there were tons of infrastructure works around Rio, one of them was a new metro line that would have a stop in PUC.

However after digging the tunnels, the projects stopped (reason given was lack of funds), and the university was left with a huge network of tunnels under it.

Due to fear of a collapse, they decided to flood the tunnels (which ironically costed millions of dollars by itself), recently they drained the tunnels but still the funds to finish the metro were unavailable, so they flooded the tunnels again.

Always thought it was an interesting place to have something spooky going on.
