  Located off of Warner Road, The Screaming Tunnel is one of Niagara's most enduring legends. The Screaming Tunnel is a tunnel built of rough-cut stone that passes under the double track Canadian National Railway lines that is still in use today.
The tracks run from Niagara Falls west through St. Catharines. It is said that this tunnel was built in the early 1900's just before the beginning of the First World War by the Grand Trunk Railway which at one time was the Great Western Railway. There are a couple of reasons why this location would be of interest to some people. First the Canadian Movie Director David Cronenberg, around 1982 had used this location as a setting for a brutal murder in the horror film "The Dead Zone". Another reason is that this Tunnel is apparently haunted by the spirit of a young girl who had died in or near the Tunnel.
We have found several variations to the legend of the death of the young girl. All these stories allege that if you stand in the middle of the dark tunnel at midnight and light a match, the flame will go out and a girls screams will be heard. There is a lot more to this legend and about the tunnel. Read more about it on our web site at urlLink Adventures Niagara &nbsp;and click on UNUSUAL LOCATIONS and then The Screaming Tunnel.
