County: Harrison WebSite: http://www.flinderationtunnel.com     Remove Listing From Site Printer Friendly Version Location Description:            There was a trainwreck in Flinderation RailRoad tunnel because some men were doing some work on the railroad and did not realize a train was coming, especially not as fast as it was. One of the men could not get into one of the cubbyholes in time, and the train caught him, causing it to derail. The railroad through this tunnel was shut down because people could hear train whistles and see the lights of an invisible train coming towards them. Then, the KKK also took victims there to do lynching and such. This tunnel has a lot of hidden history. Today, it is part of the RailTrail, but the train whistle can still be heard along with other various sounds: screaming, metal scraping on metal, sobbing.

Also,me and a couple of friends went to the tunnel and as we parked I seen a while object like peek out of the trees and bushes. As I was trying to tell me friend what I seen they said that they did not believe me. So,then one of my friend about 5 five minutes after witnessed the same thing. So, we left to get more people. We came back and we got a little into the tunnel and seen like a object like crawling towards us,so we ran out. The day before some friends and I made it clear to the end and right before we got to the end we seen another object crawl across the tunnel. Then after we got out of tunnel you could hear weird noice like moving of something. So,I do really think that this place is haunted.

Pull off and look to your right and follow the gravel trail to the entrance

But my one friend saw a man at the end of the tunnel, and I saw a blue figure shaped as a human, leaning against the wall. And as i moved my friends flashlight to the area, the figure seemed to have went into the wall. Also we went to Dog Run last night as there is supposed to be a witch in the lake, and Lake Floyd is apparently haunted as well. And Legend has it, between the salem exit and clarksberg/bridgeport exit, on foggy nights, a girl in a red hooded sweatshirt is seen walking on highway 50, and if you pull over to ask her assistance, she walks up to your car, pulls off her hood, and she doesn't have a face

Take exit 119 and turn onto Highway 50 West Drive about 13.4 miles and you'll see a sign on the right that says 'Flinnderation Rd.' Turn right at the turn off immediately after that sign. Drive over the bridge. The road comes to a 'T' at the end of the bridge Turn right and drive 0.2 miles. You'll see a path on the right blocked by a brown gate. There's a little place to park there too. Walk down the path and it takes you right to the tunnel. There's a picnic bench near the entrance. The tunnel is 1086 ft long. I reccommend you find it in daylight then go back at night to inspect it. Enjoy....you all owe me for this. heh heh

He answered with a painful pitch to his voice "yes" i also made a statement that wasn,t true. I said "i heard that your tools that you left on the tracks is what caused the train to derail and kill you" and the answer was a vary stearn "LIERS"   So with that i cant wait to go do a full blown investigation when the weather breaks .

She always loves telling stories from the past and told me one from this location. As a girl she and her 2 brothers and 2 sisters would go along the railroad and pick up marbles from when the marble train went by. One day she took her younger brother with her to the tunnel and saw a man named Earl Moore jump in front of a train comitting suicide. She saw the body get drug along under the trail to shreds. She vividly remembers the head of him running along the front grid or grill. She also said the shreaded body was slung along the tracks for about 75 yards. And too this day she still lives nearby and remembers the story perfectly.

Flinderation Tunnel is located about 15-20 minutes "west" of Clarksburg (Harrison County). The road that you will take is Flinderation Road, of course. Once you get off of Flinderation Road you will cross a bridge and you keep right and then you drive for about 500ft or little more and you will notice in the road that it looks like train tracks ran across the road and you will see a gate on your right hand side in the middle of used to be railroad tracks and thats where you park your car. From the gate to the Tunnel is about 100yds or so back. You will see the "Lake Floyd" sign on your right. Thats the next exit on the left and then Flinderation Road is the "Next" exit on the right. If your coming West going east your will travel thru salem on Rt 50 and the exit before Flinderation Road is Raccoon Run Road. You will cross a bridge and you keep right and then you drive for about 500ft or little more and you will notice in the road that it looks like train tracks ran across the road and you will see a gate on your right hand side in the middle of used to be railroad tracks and thats where you park your car.

This place is definately haunted, and this is probably one of the scariest places I have been so far.
