The "Haunted" Moonville Train Tunnel, a photo from Ohio, Midwest

Photographer's Note

The Moonville Tunnel is an abandoned railroad tunnel that is now private property, as the very polite Sheriff explained to us. There is extensive info on the internet about the ghost.
This shot was taken around midnight of course. My friend was photgraphing the graffiti on the walls, using flash. I tried to capture the glint off the glazed brick used to construct the tunnel.
The only work done was to clean up some of the noise from the long exposure.

Very eerie scene, I thought for a second it might have been a train coming out of the tunnel. I like how the tunnel arch disintegrates slowly into pure darkness.

Very original shot and lot's of scary atmosphere. I like the sharp contours of the bricks and the rays halo around the light.
