Looking into the abyss         
A view into the 4.5 mile long Hoosac Tunnel. I am not ashamed to admit I inspected this photo for ghosts! It certainly looks haunted!

Lucas Connor General It was a local legend that the tunnel was haunted, and there were several reports of ghostly happenings in the area. 153 men died building the tunnel (hence it's nickname "The Bloody Pit") and this was why people considered it haunted. Great photo! 6/1/2021 7:17:26 PM
Lucas Connor General Must correct myself. When the tunnel was completed, 196 people had died in accidents. 6/1/2021 7:19:14 PM
