The Screaming Tunnel
Many flock to Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada to bare witness to its romantic setting. However, its beauty doesn't overshadow a local legend. The tunnel is located in the northwest end of Niagara Falls and was originally built to be a rail tunnel in the early 1900s. The only problem was the Grand Trunk Railroad went bankrupt after World War I and it was never finished. Even though the tunnel was abandoned it would never be forgotten.
Over a century ago, a farm house located near the tunnel caught fire one night. A girl, clothes engulfed in flames, ran screaming from the house into the tunnel in the attempts of putting it out. Unfortunately, she collapsed and died inside the tunnel. There are variations to this story.
One states an enraged father sat his daughter on fire in the tunnel after learning his wife was rewarded custody of their kids in a nasty divorce battle. Another story reports that a young girl was raped inside the tunnel and her body was burned to cover the evidence. No one knows which version if any are true. However, what is known is that someone did die in the tunnel.
It was dubbed the Screaming Tunnel because they say if you stand in it and light a match you will hear a scream before the flame goes out.

What are you supposed to do at that tunnel? are you supposed to light a match?
Has anyone ever experienced anything in that tunnel? I always thought it's so cool, but i'm not sure how to get the ghosts to come out, or to talk/ communicate with me... any ideas?
Now blue ghost on the other hand, that is something to check out. I've been there several times, and each time I had something happen. And I also managed to get a picture of the 'blueghost' on film (Blue ghost is supposed to appear as blue fog, or ectoplasmic fog as people say it) I may be young, only seventeen but Everything about the paranormal interests me.
Also try getting a ghost tour at Fort George, i've done it before and with four friends, and while in a room looking at artifacts from it, we could hear a little girl crying but us four and a few elderly couples were with us as well, who also said they could hear it. When the we met back up with the rest of our group, none of them seemed to hear it. My friend also felt sudden burning along her back and one of her arms, when we got home; the areas were bruised and bloody
