The Haydenville Tunnel is located at the end of Howard Road, just east of Haydenville Road, in Haydenville, Ohio. It is in the woods behind the north side of Haydenville Cemetery.

The Haydenville Tunnel was used to transport coal, iron ore, and clay from the nearby mines. The tunnel was used into the 1950's, then it was abandoned. Many sections of it have started to collapse, so you can only walk a little ways into it.

Many people believe the Haydenville Tunnel is haunted by men who died while building it. They claim to see strange lights or even apparitions of these men dressed in work overalls. Many also claim to hear the sound of carts being pushed through the tunnel.

In April 2008, I received the following observation from Angela G., a website visitor:

If you look at the picture titled "Beam in tunnel" submitted by Marty Myers, there is a face in the mist coming from the right of the frame. It is a side profile of what appears to be a woman with long hair, and you can clearly see the depressions of the eyes and the outline of the nose.

In May 2008, I received the following observation from Carol Agin:

In the pictures Marty Myers took, "the tunnel entrance," look right inside and it looks like a man in black with a black hat on and right above him, a little to his right, a man in white.

If you've had any experiences at the Haydenville Tunnel, please e-mail me and I'll include your story on the site.
