I was mining today and I fell into a hole. I looked at it and there were lots of mobs such as skeletons, bats, etc. I found this rail on the ground… Actually lots of rails and it had this strange place that had a roof that was held up by sticks. It had spiderwebs all over. O.o I was in survival FYI. What is this place? It's like a human's hideout but it's not… Is it a hideout for mobs?

What you have fallen in to is called an 'Abandoned Mineshaft' and is part of the world generation and is not made by another player. The features of the shafts include support beams made out of fences and planks, cobwebs and occasionally a minecart with a chest in it that you can loot. Be careful if you see a corridor filled completely with spider webs (you will know when you see it as there are webs filling the whole thing) as this contains a cave spider spawner. The cave spiders give you a poison effect that will bring you down to half a heart (but not kill you). Rails are also part of the structure and you can loot them if you want.
