  Saw the green lantern!

  Not a ghost Hunter, and actually not even someone who wants to experience the paranormal. However, I am interested in small town history, and do documentaries, so went with a friend on Sunday 20 Feb, 2022. It did not end as planned. I filmed Tunnelton’s Guthrie Mansion, old gym, Church, and tiny post office before heading to the tunnel. Had to use Fort Ritner road as water was across the road closer to town. We met a bunch of Mennonite’s that had just walked through and were returning to their vehicles. None older than 20’s. Nice people. We talked briefly and I jokingly asked if they’d experienced anything strange. They hadn’t. And that was just fine with me! So we continued on alone and I setup a tripod in the middle of the tracks to take a wide shot. My friend jokingly said, “You think we’ll see anything?” I just rolled my eyes and hit record. Small rocks started falling from the top left of the portal. It was a little weird, but I figured maybe the soil had been saturated with last weeks rain, frozen, and the melting loosened the rocks. We moved closer to the portal, I took more footage. We went inside and it was unremarkable other than being very cold, like a cave, and I’ve been in many of those doing documentaries. Footage on the monitor was great, captured the old bricks, graffiti, weathered track, and small recesses where I’ve been told teenagers jump into when a train enters the tunnel. We exited the tunnel and took a few selfies for posterity. I had folded the tripod and was about to put my camera away, when my friend said, “What’s that?” In the distance was what looked like a green light. It was a little odd as I didn’t hear anything, just saw a light. No footsteps or other noise. It didn’t look like a flashlight at all, but more the shape of an old-timey kerosene lantern. And it just kind’ve hovered. I stopped in my tracks, unfolded the tripod and quickly hit record. No one was holding that lantern, I’m positive. “I think we’re seeing the legend.” My friend snapped many photos. My footage came out excellent. We saw something, no denying it. But for a fact, we were ready to go!

  Crazy shit.

  Me and my boyfriend and 4 other of my friends decided to go 3 hours to this tunnel from home. Wasn’t bad. I had a panic attack the second time going in. So we left. While standing across the river from the tunnel, we read local stories on the tunnel about crashes and everything that has happened on the way home. Not thinking about anything serious, we decided to go home. We got on the gravel road and my 3 other friends had slid off the road into a ditch that was filled with water and mud. After about 3 hours of waiting cops come and try and help. Tow truck was called to get the truck out, we got it out and we got stuck again..after my friends and boyfriends hand and feet are bleeding after being stuck in the pouring down rain, we finally got home around noon/1pm the next day. There’s something this Tunnel and the surroundings that has made everyone crash and get into these accidents..it’s absolutely nuts and crazy..Please be safe going home..this is no joke.

  Saw something

  Me and a couple of friends went one day and I kept turning my head around to look behind me, nothing at first, but the 3rd time I saw a dark tall man with an old fashioned hat appear and walk through the wall on my left. Before that I saw a man's face like he's in his mid 60s for sure. His face appeared and disappeared instantly. Btw, I'm a paranormal investigator. Y'all should also go to the Sparks Ferry Bridge too.

  Tunnelton fun

  Me and my friends actually go out here all the time. The first time I went there. I was with my boyfriend and 3 friends. We were all standing still in the dark with no lights. I felt something grab my leg. I screamed and turned on my light. Every now an then. When I’m out their I’ll hear noises throughout the tunnel and see dark figures. But honestly that’s it. It’s just an overall fun place to be

  Not the ghost we were worried about!

  So my husband, 7 teenagers and I all go and walk into the tunnel where we find a speaker and a purse lying in the middle of the tracks. Then, about 10 yards away in a cut out there were 2 bodies. We walked up to them and was literally 2 feet away before they sit up and say something. The puts his hand under his shirt and we are thinking he was reaching for a gun or something. They tell us to shut our lights off and talk to the "ghost". No thanks I'm not gonna trip over something or not be able to keep my eye on them with all these kids. We went about another 50 yards and decided to turn back. As we get back to where those people were they are gone with a light set to flash ever 10 seconds and recordings coming out of the speaker. We make it to the end of the tunnel and there they are coming back from the direction of our vehicles. Little sketchy I think. The living freaked us out more than any spirits would have.

  Scary tunnelton story

  Me and my friends decided it would be fun to go see tunnelton tunnel. On the way there we were fine, but we’ve read a ton of scary stories from here, we’ve seen lots of stories about car crashes here so we were kinda scared. We where fine the whole time there, we met some nice ladies, then we left. We were going down the gravel road we were going about 40, that’s kinda fast for a gravel road but anyways all the sudden my girlfriend swerved back and forth about two times (we almost hit a tree) right before this happened my friend clicked her seatbelt, and when it happened my other friend in the back got hit with a small rock that came in the window (she was fine but really scary) we stopped for a little and talked about what just happened, my friend in the front seat said she saw a news paper flash in her head about 5 teens dying in a Jeep that flipped (us) we believe her 100% she never lies. We went on back home, we were by the part were you turn right and go under the little mini tunnel, well my girlfriend passed it, no biggie we will just back up right? Well we were about an inch close to falling off the bridge into the water below we immediately all got out of the jeep (grand Cherokee) the jeep was at a slant we didn’t know what to do, but then a lady in a pedo van came around the corner. She stopped and asked if we needed help, we said yes please, she hopped out of her van like a bad a$$ and lit a cig and said “I remember when I was y’alls age, she hopped up in the jeep and said “is it fine if I smoke in here?” We said yes do whatever you want lmao. She got the jeep right out of that situation, we thanked her very much and headed home again, we stopped at the gas station, I got out and heard air. The tire was flattening. We were at that gas station till 2 am, lucky my friend took auto body and know lots of guys to call in situations like this haha. When we all finally got home we talked it over tons of times, my girlfriend told me there was a stop sign and that’s why she tried to stop (but swerved) right after she told me that I was shocked, I saw no stop sign there, 2 other of our friends said they didn’t see it either but our other friend in the car said she did we were so confused. We really want to go back and see if there is a stop sign but we are just too scared, idk why the jeep swerved like that it was crazy for the speed we were going, I get we were on gravel but it just felt so weird you know? Like something made that happen... I mean after all we did read about people dying in crashed there and all the crazy ghost stories.

  Unexplained sound

  I filmed a documentary at this place about it's dark history. While there, our camera picked up a sound that sounded like a gunshot that came from the tunnel. What is crazy is that we didn't hear this while filming; it wasn't until we were editing the film that we realized what we captured. While investigating inside the tunnel, I EVEN SMELLED GUNPOWDER! I did research and found out that the mafia used the tunnel to execute their rivals during the 1920's. Did we witness a residual haunting? I included this experience in my documentary: (copy and paste into URL) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovzG9IsgbZc&t=64s

  Enjoyed the adventure

  Some friends and I went out around midnight one night. We walked all the way through the tunnel just fine. Took some pictures at the end and then made our way back through. Nothing weird happened on the way through but on the way back we kept hearing noises like rocks being thrown behind us. It also got super chilly and none of us noticed it on our way through the first time. Wind was blowing in the tunnel but no wind was blowing outside the tunnel. It was weird. Not sure if it’s haunted or not but it’s still pretty creepy. I recommend checking it out even if just for the adventure.

  Alright Bro's and Brosette's here it is

  I went this past Saturday night at 3:am with 9 people. Everyone went in skeptical and didn't expect anything. There was no wind that day, but in the tunnel there was a draft. The draft didn't start until we were in the middle section, and then weird stuff started to happen. I'm not perfect, but i started to taunt the spirits in there, and because of that my buddy got touched on his shoulder. I thought it were all of my friends, but my buddy had been walking away from the group with two others, and while i was taunting it tunnel; he was adjacent to me in the tunnel, and no one was around him. Is there any other evil there? Anyways, we had formed a circle and turned off our lights. Myself and a friend were talking to the ghosts, and while i had just previously said, "Touch me to make a sign," my friend had gotten touched on his lower back. There were no scratch marks thankfully. Our driving point out was when my bud and i had put a flashlight in the middle section of the train tracks, ran away from it, and told the spirit to make it flash. It didn't. A rock was thrown to my left at the wall. The weird part is the all of my friends were out of the tunnel heading back to their cars when it happened. Is there something evil there???

  Great, spooky place

  My husband and I went for the first time back in the summer of 2016. We went in the tunnel almost half way and it got chilly real quick. We heard very faint screams at the opposite end of the tunnel. We left after that lol. We plan on going back again!

  Great place

  The only thing I have witnessed personally was a few years ago. A few of my friends and I went out for like the 20th time that year and we had never had anything happen untill this time. We walked through the tunnel and back a couple times before dark just to do it. Then when midnight hit we took our last trip through. We made it through with nothing noticeable. On the way back we got about to where the silhouette of a person is spray painted by one of the cubby holes. Instantly and extremely strong was the smell of lantern fuel. All 5 of us stopped dead and looked at each other for a couple of minutes. Then a couple took off running and the rest of us followed. Lol

  Beautiful Place

  Went there today for a family gathering. Nothing that scary stuck out, but there was a dead/partially decapitated bird at a point just before halfway in the tunnel, and the only way it could have been in there is if it was drug in by an animal or human. Weird stuff.

  Fun times

  Back in the late '90s my friends and I went out about a half a dozen times. Had some bonfires and some partying and "caught" quite a few trains. Definitely a rush to have it screaming by just a few feet away from you. This place is almost a rite of passage for local teenagers. If I still lived nearby, I'd certainly take my boys and we are just about as risk averse as possible these days. Stay off the tracks when a train comes and nothing to be afraid of.

  Neat but creepy!

  As a young kid i remember our parents use to tke us their and show us around. It was pretty neat but very scary too. I wouldnt wanna be their after dark. My question though is for the one person who posted above if thia is private property and no one i allowed near it or in it why doesnt "CSX" do something to block it off where ppl cant get to it!? I remember the trail leading up to it from the road.

  Strange strange strange

  I'm from Campbellsburg and I've been I don't know how many times to the tunnel. Nothing ever really happened except for one time around a year and a half ago. I took the girl I was dating at the time to see it and she wanted to walk through it. Half way through it got really cold (it was the middle of august on a humid evening) and about 60 yards from the other end the girl screamed and grabbed me. She said it felt like someone was breathing over her shoulder and talking behind us. I never heard anything or felt anything other than the sudden creepy chill, but I was extremely creeped out after seeing the look on her face while she was telling me this because she was super serious and freaked out. We ran to the end and ended up walking down the tracks til we found a place to climb down to the road and walk about 4 miles back down the road to my truck.

  Great Niece of the Said "Ghost"

  I am the great great great niece of the said ghost. His name is Henry Dixon. He is buried at Dixon Chapel/Proctor Cemetary. I have our family's records and there was never a definite answer to Henry's death. There have been different theories but we shall never know. The tunnel is on private property therefore don't trespass.
