This Haunted Tunnel In Texas Is Not For The Faint Of Heart

Tunnels are very ominous. They’re mysterious black abysses, and we have no way of knowing what’s inside them unless we muster the courage to investigate. This one in Fredericksburg is particularly spooky, probably because it’s surrounded by natural rock rather than being attached to a freeway like a lot of tunnels are. Are you brave enough to go explore and see what awaits you?

We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures!

Although the tunnel has no known dark history, there are many speculations as to what could be lurking inside.

It used to be a railroad, and since the trains just barely fit through the opening, some people say passengers have fallen out and gotten squished to death.
We're certain that over three million bats inhabit the corridor, and they can be seen blackening the sky every summer night at dusk.

To some, they're a magnificent creation of Mother Nature...but to others, they're evil incarnate, a sign that malevolent beings exist in the tunnel with the desire to wreak havoc on all those who dare tread on their territory.
