The Screaming Tunnel: A Canadian Horror Legend | Shell's Spooky Stories Ep. 28

Welcome back to Shell's Spooky Stories, where tonight we explore one of Canada's most chilling local legends. Just outside Niagara Falls, Ontario, lies a seemingly unremarkable limestone tunnel with a terrifying reputation and a century-old tale of tragedy.

Discover why locals warn against lighting matches in this haunted passage and the various origins of the screams that are said to echo through its walls. From the young girl who died in flames to Prohibition-era smugglers and ancient sacred lands, the Screaming Tunnel's dark history has many layers, each more unsettling than the last.

Join me as we investigate the historical records, paranormal theories, and enduring mystery surrounding this infamous location that continues to draw thrill-seekers and ghost hunters from around the world. But remember, some legends are born from real tragedy, and some places hold memories that perhaps should remain undisturbed.
