Would you dare walk where the soul's soles of these dead still tread? A rugged dirt trail creeps along a deep forest, through an abandoned iron furnace ghost town, and past an overgrown cemetery above the deep and haunted Olds Hollow in the Hocking Hills.

A rail trail in West Virginia holds dark secrets within twin tunnels outside an old ghost town that was once along Beetree Run. There are spirits there . . . Eaton and Lost Tunnels stand side by side. One is along the rail trail. The other is sealed and closed. Both are haunted. Nowadays, you can walk through this more recent #21 North Bend Rail Trail tunnel. It is this newer tunnel next to the old one where some have run into ghosts, although others attest the older one is haunted, too. With all the hype the Silver Run Tunnel gets with its white-gowned, golden-slippered phantom, it is no wonder that Eaton and Lost Tunnels get a lesser reputation for haunting. Yet they are. And there are plenty of reasons they have ghosts. From rockfalls to train wrecks and a town epidemic to being hit by a train, nearly 30 deaths have occurred nearby and within the tunnel. You might come across something darker, like I did a week ago, The Eaton Tunnel Bogey. This is one of the stories you can read in my second book of three on West Virginia Ghost Stories, Legends, Haunts, and Folklore. I go to all the places in my books. So they have pictures of the sites and GPS or Address to find them! You can purchase the book: For Print Version: Amazon: Or a PDF copy on my Shop, BackRoads Books:

Airplane Hollow in Wayne National Forest in the Hocking Hills Region of southeastern Ohio is home to a legend of a ghostly plane and its passengers. May 16, 1941 - A legend comes from the area just outside Nelsonville and Carbon Hill, Ohio, about a military plane wreck during a horrible storm on May 16,1941 and the strange things that followed.

I want to share this story with you on this stormy eve before the mysterious and haunting event, which was told to me by some folks whose families have lived in the Carbon Hill/Nelsonville mining communities of southeastern Ohio for well over a hundred and twenty years. The story happened to them, leaving an indelible mark on their lives. This is the legend of Airplane Hollow- You can buy my book series on Amazon and in bookstores, including this bit of lore from my Ohio Ghost Guide Haunted Hocking Hills.
