“The Bloody Pit”

Florida, MA – The Hoosac Tunnel

This tunnel got the name of “the bloody pit” because back in the 1800s when it was being dug, over 200 workers died.  They used nitro at one point to blast it, and killed more folks in the process.  Then, 13 miners died in a gas explosion. Villagers nearby had heard moans and seen strange vaporous shapes. Another man was found stumbling around the area, lost for days, babbling about ghosts in the tunnel. Another man was electrocuted by the lines. The list goes on and on of bad things associated with the tunnel to the point that one comes to the wise conclusion – it is cursed.
