THE STORY
Reported Haunting
Schrader Road Tunnel is associated with several versions of a tragic legend involving a mother and infant killed near the railroad tracks. Visitors claim to hear a baby crying inside the tunnel and have reported ghostly figures, children's laughter, and dark shapes nearby.
Schrader Road Tunnel is rumored to be haunted by a ghost or two. A legend says that a woman put her unwanted baby on the train tracks, and then, in some versions of the story, hanged herself. The baby is heard crying here. But there may be another ghost as well: A woman who was murdered and hung from a nearby tree in a waterbed mattress is said to haunt the tunnel as well. Cold spots and blood dripping from the ceiling have been reported.
