The other arch spans the road, which narrows to one lane as you pass through the tunnel.įull disclosure: I went on my ghost hunt in the daylight, in part so I could take pictures of the tunnel and in part to avoid the seemingly inevitable head-on collision. One arch spans a creek that runs parallel to the road. The bridge appears to have been built for the Ashland Railway, as the railroad runs over the bridge’s two arches. 42 on Milton Township Road 1536, just south of Ashland. The “haunted tunnel” is part of a stone bridge located about half a mile west of U.S. So this week, with Halloween just around the corner, I grabbed my camera and headed for the supposedly haunted spot.

Perhaps that’s why Ashland Source reader Linda Geaslen wrote to us on Open Source, saying, “There is a tunnel on Township Road 1536.
