Huntaphobia brings you along with the special guest Reckless Adventure and Kevin Kaye from the popular YouTube channel Tuberchat. To investigate Blue Ghost Tunnel.

This railway tunnel near St. Catharines, Ontario was built approximately 140 years ago and closed just over a century ago after a double swing bridge for a newer railway was constructed.

The now-abandoned tunnel runs under what used to be the original Welland Canal for well over 500 feet, decreasing in height as you head east before ending in a silt-filled wetland.

Several fatal accidents occurred during the construction and use of the tunnel and the railway running through it. In 1875, a 14-year-old was killed when he was crushed under a large rock.

On January 3, 1903 at 7:03 AM, Engine Number 4 and Engine Number 975 met in a head-on collision approximately a third of a mile from the western entrance of the tunnel. The trains were moving at approximately 22 miles per hour when they crashed and the firemen of both trains, Charles Horning of Engine Number 4 and Abraham Desult from Engine Number 975, died as a result of their injuries.

In total, 107 men were killed during the construction of the tunnel and the canal in its surrounding area. When the Tunnel was being built the Welland canal had to be re-directed to complete the construction. Unfortunately in doing that, a nearby Graveyard was flooded and over 900 burials were submerged under the water. They tried to retrieve the bodies out of the water but were unsuccessful. Those bodies are still under the Welland Canal.

With the number of people killed and the nearby Graveyard flooded, it is no wonder why this Tunnel is haunted.
