Many noises , lights and temperature change

We have had spooky stuff happen up there especially in October 1991 when our cooler of beer vanished when we all were together standing 25 feet away we also had a Coleman lantern so we could see. That night freaked 5 people out and I no 3 of them won't even drive on that road because of that October night. It was a lot more than the beer missing. We were nervously trying to leave and something was trying to mess with us noises lights temperature change it's so hard to explain because from the tracks to the car seemed like a 30 min walk because all the crazy noises and lights I don't mean flash lights I mean idk how to explain it other than dim lights behind trees like disco lights but the temperature change really was the scariest. I still don't believe in ghosts but that night at that time and place there was something trying to tell us something and I don't think I ever no the meaning. I wish it was a prank because I'd at least have a answer.

Bike breaks before reaching tunnel

In March of 2023 I decided to visit this tunnel on my motorized bicycle. I took trips on my motorbike a lot and was always interested in exploring the country near Mitchell. Since this tunnel was only 8 miles from my house on Stonington Rd, I was like why not? So that afternoon I filled my 80cc two stroke bike's gas tank full and headed out. It was a cold sunny day. It took 30 minutes to get to the gravel road 1 mile before the tunnel. I hesitated before proceeding down the bumpy road because my bikes gas tank was mounted delicately on the back and I knew that it could fly off. Nevertheless I went on, I was really excited to check it out. About three quarters of the way down suddenly basket on the back of my bike flew off with the gas tank and tools in it. I was very angry and anxious because I was now 8 miles from home. My tools were scattered and I had lost most of my gas, the gas tank was gravity fed and I could not mount it so it could feed the engine again. I headed back home preparing for a long walk. After a mile I reached the bridge that crosses the river and rolled my bike off to get it started. Fortunately I made it up the big hill and got back home with the gas tank in my lap. Not a ghost story, but I hoped you enjoyed reading.

Scary, but uneventful

I went in with my parents at around 10 Pm one day. It was dark, foggy, and misty; perfect for spooky-ness. We didn't have any expensive equipment or anything, just a few flashlights. The tunnel was mostly uneventful. There was a few shotgun shells, rusty lighters, and fireworks lying around; which was scary, just not for paranormal reasons. There was also plenty of graffiti which I thought was funny, but not everybody has the same childish sense of humor as me, so if that's not your thing I wouldn't go. The tunnel had essentially zero paranormal things going on, or at least nothing that I noticed. The only thing that truly scared me was, while we were leaving, we saw a very bright flash light chase us from around the bend in the tracks. Never saw who it was, but they were running fast. They almost caught up to us too. It was probably just locals that had trail cams and were tired of all the trespassing. Overall, pretty fun and easy hike, and only slightly illegal!

Pretty cool.

We had a group of 7 people. We were divided into 2 cars but the entire time there it was a very heavy nervous feeling and when we got to the off road gravel drive there was lightning and everything overall was a bit weird. One of my friends and I prayed in the car on the way because of this paranoia we had. While we were there, there wasn't much paranormal stuff happening. The EMP spiked a bit at the end but that could mean a number of different things. I read about a family crashing their buggy near the tunnel a long time ago and many stories of crashed nearby and on the way our car swerved because of all the dust being stirred up from our friends driving in front of us. I also heard stories about there being a graveyard above the tunnel and then building or doing maintenance on it and bodies either hanging or falling down from the top. Although we didn't see this one of the group members made a joke about it without knowing the history or stories. Although we didn't witness much first hand I think the few coincidences were a little creepy.

In broad daylight

My experience took place in about 2000. I was with my boyfriend at the time. It was summer time and we went in broad daylight. As we are getting to the tunnel there are a few people leaving. So we have the place to ourselves. Or so we think. As we get inside the tunnel we notice someone at the other end is undoubtedly walking towards us. No big deal. It’s a popular place. As we are walking and talking I keep watching this person walk towards us, but by the time they should be meeting up with us and passing by us they were gone. I never saw them turn around and walk the direction from where they came and I certainly did not see them exit the tunnel. My bf and I looked at each other and wondered where they went. We realized there was no way of explaining what had just happened and decided it was time to leave.

My 3 experiences at tunnelton tunnel

I live approximately 25-30minutes from this tunnel and as a kid growing up I remember some people throughout the years would talk about it but I can only remember them saying it was supposedly haunted no stories though it was just “haunted” well anyways The very 1st time I had ever went out here was actually on Halloween morning I believe it was either the year 2014 or 2015 I had been hanging out with my cousin that day and 2 of his roommates it was actually one of the boys birthday and with me at the time being the only one with a car to drive anywhere we all decided to go cruise we were on the search of this place none of us knowing how to actually get there we just knew somewhat where it was we had somehow ended up in bedford instead gps wasn’t something we had back then lol anyways we stopped at a gas station to get gas and some sodas as the cashier is handing me my receipt I ask her if she knew where tunnelton tunnel is she said we weren’t that far from it she made us a little map and we then proceeded to follow it we finally arrived there was a little pull off on the edge of the road where I pulled over at with my headlights still on I noticed there was a trail in front of us I then decided to drive my car as far up that trail as I could and I did but the big rocks and the trees being so close together I only got my car a few feet up the trail I then shut the car off we all looked at each other and was ready to experiment this place we got out and it was a pretty decent night we all had short sleeve shirts on but as we began walking up that trail we noticed a big change in the temperature like it got chilly quick and a little breeze of wind we kept walking we reached the top and even though it was really dark out and our flashlights not the brightest we could see the word “big tunnel” we stood there looking at it for maybe 2 minutes then as I was about to walk down to the tracks I noticed my cousin and his 2 roommates take off running down the hill back to my car I stood there for a second thinking wtf are they doing at that moment something in my head told me to run so I did I don’t think I’ve ever ran so fast in my life! They were already in my car when I got to them I jumped in and while they were all freaking out saying drive! Drive get out of here I’m just lost as to why they were all freaking out so I start my car and start backing down the trail and asking them what happened they all said they seen a tall (dark figure) standing behind me which I didn’t obviously see? But I was like no way are you serious and they were like yeah it was literally right behind you! I could tell they were really scared of whatever they had seen? They started giving me chills but I wasn’t really scared as much as they were as I got my car backed up to the little pull off I stopped and was trying to convince them let’s walk back up there I wanna see if I see anything they were saying no they weren’t going back up there I kept saying come on guys let’s just do it but they weren’t giving in about that time as I was looking towards my cousin in the passenger seat I seen what looked to be maybe 2ft tall black figure floating maybe a foot or so off the ground right outside my car on the passenger side I was just staring at it thinking to myself is this really real? I felt like whatever it was knew I seen it and wanted me to see my heart was really pumping I had never in my life witnessed a ghost/spirit whatever you wanna call it I then told them all to look out the passenger side there’s something there I never said what I seen but they seen it too!! We were all really freaking out now and sped out of there as fast as we could once we got back to my cousins we were taking about everything that’s when I asked them what they seen at the end they all described the same little figure I seen so it really made me realize that whatever it was, was definitely real and was the exact same thing I witnessed! That’s my 1st experience going there now granted I have went many other times there since that and hadn’t seen anything but have herd some noises at times. Now I have 2 more stories about this as well I’d like to share so story number 2. Back in 2018 I was telling my buddy about the tunnel I never told him any of my previous experiences and played off to him like I had never even been there I didn’t even tell him it was haunted he had never even herd of it before so we drove out there I pulled over and when I came to a stop he said he had to take a leak so as he was standing outside the car I told him I was gonna turn the car around the other way I then decided to pull a prank on him and I started off down the road driving away I herd him hollering something but couldn’t make out what he had said I drove a little ways down the road less than a mile I then turned around to go back to him as I’m driving back towards him I see him running towards me! I then stopped he’s grabbing the door handle and panicking bad! Saying someone was walking beside him when I left him back there he also stated he seen a station wagon drive by with all women in it wearing white dresses I knew at that moment he had to be telling the truth because he was clueless to this place even being haunted his statements freaked me out I looked at him and said you really seen all that? He said yeah! I was like dude I never seen any cars coming towards me so where did this mysterious station wagon go? It just vanished I then asked him what he seen walking beside him as soon as he said all he could see was something like a dark figure it brought back flashbacks of my 1st time ever going after this 2nd experience with him I am now convinced this place is extremely haunted! Okay now my 3rd story so back in 2020 me and my gf had drove out there to go walk through the tunnel she had been out there several times before we had ever even met but she didn’t ever see anything she said I told her all about my experiences which made her really wanna go again and see if she could witness anything for once! So anyways we get there as we’re sitting in the car I open my door to get out I standing outside the car and look over cause she still hasn’t got out as I looked over at here I seen her in the passenger seat with her head bent down with her hands covering her face I was asking her if she was okay? But she wasn’t answering me I then got back in the car and asked her again still no response I put my arm on her back and started to rub her behind the neck and was saying are you feeling sick honey what’s wrong? She then slowly raised her head up and looked at me but when she looked at me I felt as if it were someone else looking at me and not her if that makes sense? Like she still looked like herself but there was just something different about her eyes and the way she raised her head and gave me this stare it was starting to freak me out I didn’t know at this point if I should get out and run or what to do then all of a sudden she lets out a big gasp for air and starts rocking back and forth and shaking and having a panic attack saying she can’t breathe I wasn’t scared of her at this point I was scared of what was happening to her! I finally got her to get her breathing under control she then told me we need to leave now! And said something was in her she could feel it so at this point we were both ready to get out of there as we get down the road before reaching the little tunnel to the left all of a sudden I see a solid black cow with red eyes out of no where it just appeared in front of us it was like I seen my life flash before my eyes I hit my breaks but I knew we were going to still hit it and we did the cow slid onto my good and across the roof as we came to a stop I jumped out looking for this cow and was no where to be seen! We were both panicking about what just happened and now hitting a cow that just vanished! Luckily we weren’t hurt and the car took less damage than I thought it busted the drives side headlight and mirror and cracked part of the windshield we then get back in the car to finally head home at this point I realize I barely have any brakes! Luckily I was driving a 5speed I just drove very slow and downshifted to slow down even more when needed till this day I have never went to tunnelton I feel like what ever happened with her and being possessed? That night whatever the case was I just feel like something wanted us dead. I am very curious to know if anyone else has had any of this happen when they’ve went?

Do Not Go Alone.

As an older single man, I will go on trips around Indiana alone. I’d much rather go with friends, but because I never plan where I am going, I normally decide and go. One day last summer, I headed to this tunnel to take pictures and explore. I don’t believe in the paranormal, nor do I believe in ghosts. So what happened, I really can’t explain.
There were two other groups or families exploring as well. I decided to walk through the tunnel. As I am walking inside the tunnel, I hear a train blow it’s whistle followed by the brakes squealing and heard what sounded like the train stopping. I heard someone disembark the train, but obviously did not see a real train. The hair on the back of my neck stood up. I could feel myself barely breathing. I looked around when I suddenly heard several people crying. Flashing my light toward the sound, I saw nothing as I kept on hearing the crying. I heard what sounded like a young lady ask someone, “Why? Why? Why?” Ske kept on asking the same question. I smelled the smoke from the train, even though there was not an actual train there. I could feel myself beginning to sweat. Then I saw it. I saw a man holding a lantern and from the light, I saw that his head was smashed in, and remember seeing blood coming from the corner of his mouth. I could see fear from his eyes. They were wide opened.
I turned and started to run. I felt someone pushing me down to the ground. I got back up and ran agai toward the tunnel entrance. I made my mind up then and there to NEVER go to these types of places alone. As I started the car, my hands were trembling.

Fun Creepy Place

I had basically the same experience as another commenter. A little over 6 years ago my fiancé and I went here for our first date in October. We walked through the tunnel for a little while and then we decided to leave. We didn’t see anything but I was creeped out. It was my first time going but he had creepy experiences in the past at tunnelton. When we left he was driving too fast and missed our turn, we almost went through the little tunnel, so as he started to back up we went into the ditch. We were stuck and everyone we tried to call couldn’t help us. Luckily a truck full of people came driving by after a while and they were able to pull us out. It’s a great first date story to tell our kids!

I have been in and all around the tunnel 50 times

I Live 10 minuted from the tunnel. The light many people are refering to is just a green reflective sign onhangung from the wall. (Its a mile marker type sign) Never seen anything weird or scary just a cool place to visit. Turn your flashlights off sissys.

Not scary at all

It just felt like a was walking in a tunnel with my uncle and brother. I’m pissed off it wasn’t scary. The only “scary” thing that happened is that a little kid noticed my graffiti and yelled out “PORN!” that’s basically it.

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:

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.

I have been to the tunnel many times as a teenager and adult and even taken my kids to see the tunnel and walk through. Neat place to visit allot of stories and history, of all the times visited never had a Erie experience until about 6 years ago when a friend and I walked through the tunnel towards dark we where not quit to the half way point where the tunnel makes its curve when the tunnel got a cool chill and we saw a dime then more bright light as if a lantern was floating in mid air toward us and we both got an awful feeling we turned and left the tunnel. I have been back sense with no activity.

No trespassing

It belongs to the CSX railroad and anyone caught there could be arrested for trespassing. It isn't open to the public and should be avoided.

Tunnelton train tunnel

For it's time the tunnel was built it is very beautiful. In today's world the tunnel is visited by many from all around far and near. We visit almost every summer to look at the graffity,and to meet other visitors. It is always a popular with the younger generations.. the tunnel is just off set from the river for fun in the sun and fishing too. So make a day of it if possible!!!

Party Palace!

I've been here MANY times! Partied hard back in the day! Had something weird happen last time I walked through it... A few years ago, a friend and I walked through the tunnel at sunset. As we were walking, we heard gravel popping behind us the entire way. It sounded like someone was walking behind us and it REALLY creeped me out. Other than that, it's been an awesome place to hang out!

friends

I have a friend of mine that has had an experience out there that scared him bad enough he won't go back if it's dark. I love it I have slept atop the opening of the tunnel and it's very peaceful and yet very creepy at some points hearing screams and other unknown sounds.

Not scary

I've been there several different times, with different friends and family. Nothing has ever happend while I was there. I have been there during the day and during night.. but it's pretty cool to go chill there and walk around.

Teenage Terror

I lived out in Buddha, half my life. My dad still does, in the same house we grew up in... I think it's a moral imperative, of Bedford livin', to take a trip out there to see what all the fuss is about.
Everyone has an experience out there and it IS scary!

Scary

Used to go there and party as teenagers.
Heard weird sounds but no headless man.
Pretty freaky to be in one of the cubby holes when a train comes thru.
Wow what a rush

Scratched!

I'm from Seymour, Indiana and I just recently visited this tunnel. I went into the tunnel with some friends of mine. We soon saw a light that seemed to be from a lantern and was getting closer. I hear a high pitched howl, I look behind me and something scratched my right upper arm three times. Note, I was on the tracks at least 10 feet away from the walls and people I went with. If you do go, be careful walking up the trail. Very slippery. Also, the road that takes you there has VERY sharp turns. So drive with caution. I am definitely going back!
