About this episode
Nestled in the mountains of western Massachusetts, the Hoosac Tunnel stands as a testament to human ingenuity—and a chilling reminder of its cost. Dubbed “The Bloody Pit,” this nearly 5-mile-long railway tunnel was the site of tragedy during its 24-year construction, claiming the lives of nearly 200 workers. But the story doesn’t end there. For decades, visitors and locals alike have reported ghostly apparitions, eerie voices, and unexplained phenomena within the tunnel’s shadowy depths. In this episode, I delve into the dark history of the Hoosac Tunnel, exploring the events that gave rise to its haunted reputation. From the mysterious deaths of three explosive experts to the countless tales of spectral sightings, we uncover the lingering spirits said to inhabit this engineering marvel. Is the Hoosac Tunnel a gateway to another realm—or simply a relic of its grim past? Join me as I uncover the secrets of “The Bloody Pit.” YOUTUBE - https://www.youtube.com/@hauntedchris TikTok - @chris_hah LEAVE A VOICEMAIL - 609-891-8658 The Nightmare Collective SUBSCRIBE!!
