Moonville Tunnel …

During my trip to Vinton County Ohio, I took a brief tour to the Moonville Tunnel. We went during the daylight, good time to stay away from the ghosts.

To give you a bit of history. The follow was taken from this link, http://www.moonvilletunnel.net/index.htm.

Moonville was once scarcely known as little more than one more tiny mining and railway boom town among a hundred others in Southeastern Ohio. But for those who lived there, it was home.

There was never more than a hundred people living in the tiny town from 1856 to the 1940s. And by the early 1950s, the only things remaining was a few abandoned houses and a lonely stretch of railway between Marietta and Cincinnati.

The Tunnel

 

is a little creepy from the inside,

especially with painting like this.

If you are in Vinton County and looking for a nice little hike that may lead to a ghost to two, go.  Read the history and the stories first, it will make experience more fun.
