The Brandy Gap Tunnel, more commonly known as the Flinderation Tunnel, is said to be haunted. It's an old tunnel near Salem, West Virginia, and has become notorious for strange, possibly paranormal, experiences people have there. The stories vary, having to do with everything from a faceless red-wearing lady haunting the road to ghostly mutterings from the dead in the graveyard above the tunnel (as if having a graveyard on top of the tunnel you're standing in wasn't spooky enough in itself).

If you're keen on learning more about scary places in West Virginia, here is a ghost story from the state. There is a supposedly haunted road in Berkeley County, West Virginia. It's called WV Route 901 and people have had some strange encounters when driving it. Supposedly, a couple driving down 901 slammed on their breaks when they saw a man limping out onto the road in front of their car. It was a Confederate soldier, wounded and blood. He looked to them for help, slammed his hands on the hood of their car, and fell to the ground. When the couple jumped out and ran around to the front of their car to check on him, he was gone - but his bloody handprint on the hood supposedly remained until they got home when that too disappeared. Creepy, huh?
