  • Eaton Tunnel Bogey: Eaton and Lost Tunnel #21 Ghosts and Haunting

    A rail trail in West Virginia holds dark secrets within twin tunnels outside an old ghost town that was once along Beetree Run. There are spirits there . . . Eaton and Lost Tunnels stand side by side. One is along the rail trail. The other is sealed and closed. Both are haunted.

    Nowadays, you can walk through this more recent #21 North Bend Rail Trail tunnel. It is this newer tunnel next to the old one where some have run into ghosts, although others attest the older one is haunted, too. With all the hype the Silver Run Tunnel gets with its white-gowned, golden-slippered phantom, it is no wonder that Eaton and Lost Tunnels get a lesser reputation for haunting. Yet they are. And there are plenty of reasons they have ghosts. From rockfalls to train wrecks and a town epidemic to being hit by a train, nearly 30 deaths have occurred nearby and within the tunnel. You might come across something darker, like I did a week ago, The Eaton Tunnel Bogey.
    This is one of the stories you can read in my second book of three on West Virginia Ghost Stories, Legends, Haunts, and Folklore. I go to all the places in my books. So they have pictures of the sites and GPS or Address to find them!

  • Eight Foot Ghost of King Tunnel

    There’s an old train bed deep within the forests of southeastern Ohio within the Hocking Hills, a remote path found by taking buckled pavement streets and sketchy gravel roads. The tracks were built in the 1850s for the Marietta and Cincinnati Railroad. They passed through coal mining towns like Hope Furnace Station, Moonville, Ingham Station, Kings Station, and Mineral City. When a young man was killed walking these tracks on a lonely stretch of railroad, a ghost began to show up near an old train tunnel. This is the story of the Eight Foot Ghost of King Tunnel along the Moonville Rail Trail.

  • The Road to Hell, 1782

    Winter Hike in the Hocking Hills is coming on January 20, 2024. (Find more info here: The Hocking Hills) Those hiking the trail during the event may come upon some spirits. Of course, Old Man Retzler and his baying hound are known to show up at Old Man’s Cave, and the Pale Lady follows hikers at Ash Cave. But between the two areas,

    the trail will lead along Queer Creek and to Cedar Falls, where ghosts are said to tarry. Their peculiar screams are explained as this--

    In the early 1800s, a mill powered by the waters of Queer

    Creek sat on the rim of Cedar Falls. Nearby was a massive beech tree with words engraved in its ancient trunk, “This is the road to hell, 1782.”

    You can find this story and others in my book Haunted Hocking Hills.
