Karazhan - Morgan's Plot Crypt

This crypt lies behind the tower of Karazhan in Deadwind Pass, in the cemetery at Morgan's Plot. It is by far the largest of the crypts, stretching deep underground in a labyrinthine series of rooms, each more horrifying than the previous. Easily the most horrific chamber is the "Upside Down Sinners" - a large water-filled room with dead people attached to chains floating upside-down, feet pointing towards the ceiling. The underground network of crypts contains other strange chambers as well:
Well of the Forgotten
The Pauper's Walk
The Pit of Criminals
Tome of the Unrepentant [sic] (Note there's a faint heartbeat sound loop when in this area, if you get closer to the two large tombs in this room the sound of the heartbeat becomes stronger.) (Note 2 it seems like the heartbeat can be heard everywhere and occasionally becomes stronger for a while. However it is still possible these 2 large tombs hold the very corpses of Aegwynn and Medivh)
The Slough of Dispair [sic]
The bizarre layout and naming conventions of the crypt are unlike any other region, dungeon, or instance in the game. The purpose of the crypt is unknown - it may be a playground for developers, a testing site of sorts, an unfinished instance, or something else entirely. Some people speculate that is a lower portion of Karazhan, as some lore indicated Karazhan has a lower half. But upon further investigation the architecture does not match with Karazhan in the slightest bit, leaving a rather large flaw in their speculation. Some says that this instance was closed due to keep the age rating for the game. This area could be accessed via dying close to the gate and running through it, but this was changed in Patch 2.0.
Also note that the region known as "The Slough of Dispair" [sic] is a reference to the popular game Doom's level of the same name. Likewise, the "Upside Down Sinners" is a reference to the movie Big Trouble in Little China, in which the protaganists are dumped into the "Hell of the Upside Down Sinners", which happens to be a large, water filled room with corpses hanging into it by chains, feet pointing to the ceiling.
Although the purpose of this crypt is unknown, it is interesting to note that using WoW Map Viewer you can see that the crypt runs under Tranquil Gardens Cemetery in Duskwood. This might play a role sometime in the future, or could be a complete coincidence.
