The North Bend Rail Trail in West Virginia stretches 72 miles along an old, abandoned railroad with 36 bridge crossings and 13 tunnels along its passageway. It’s a beautiful place to hike and bike . . . mostly. However, it also has some dark and spooky settings on its path. Among its spookier sites are two haunted tunnels secreted along the abandoned stretch of railway between the old oil boom and railroad towns of Walker and Petroleum.

You can find the two tunnels, Eaton Tunnel and the hidden Lost Tunnel along the West Virginia Rail-Trail after a short gravel backroads drive, and perhaps run into the ghostly crew of long-dead miners still working. After taking the path from the parking area, you will come upon the Eaton Tunnel. After passing through, look for a rugged path on your left and follow it. The Lost Tunnel is sealed off from the curious. However, you can peer into a small opening and perhaps hear the ghosts of its past within.

If you like old ghost stories, legends, and folk tales, or like to discover new abandoned areas to explore, you can check out my book series on Amazon. I have over 20 books with good old-fashioned ghost stories. And for those you can visit, I give the GPS where you, too, can find your adventure. West Virginia Ghost Stories: The Classics
