This haunting tunnel is located near Niagara Falls in Ontario, Canada. Constructed sometime in the 1900's and made completley out of limestone, it was used as a drainage tunnel for nearby farms contradictory as a railroad tunnel that most people think. Legend has it that a little girl was in a nearby farmhouse when it caught fire and in an attempt to escape, she herself caught fire and ran all they way down into the tunnel and tried to extinguish herself but evidently di*ed as a result. Of course there is many variations of this tale and I do not think anyone knows the true story. But it is said that anyone who lights a match within the walls of the tunnel will hear the screams of the girl who was on fire and the match will go out.
