We didn't see anything while we were in the tunnel. However, something showed up on one of the photos. We don't think it is a reflection from our lights because there were no other photos wit any kind of glare and we took a LOT of photos.
The "real time" videp of walking through the tunnel is here....

This is the history......The Legend of The Ghost of Silver Run Haunted Train Tunnel (No. 19), is a mystery and not easily dismissed as scary superstition. History has recorded several crossings of a beautiful girl dressed in white and the engineers of the old B&O Railroad that now makes up the North Bend Rail Trail. They had witnessed "a beautiful woman with raven hair and long white gown, standing in the middle of the tracks at the far end of the tunnel."
In the late 1880s a young lady disappeared from the night train making her way to Parkersburg to be married. In one instance, the engineer brought his train to a screeching halt, and yet another, running his train directly through the ghostly apparition. After reaching Parkersburg, he was informed that telegraph messages from all along the line had reported "that a young woman in a white gown was riding on the cowcatcher", but no one was to be found. I looked for the scary ghost in this haunted tunnel when I went on my bike ride.
The Haunted Silver Run Train Tunnel dates back to the Civil War era and is approximately 1,376 feet in length and is lined mostly in brick. It is about 4 miles west of Cairo, WV on the North Bend Rail Trail.
