Exploring the infamous Blue Ghost Tunnel (BGT) in Thorold, Ontario with an EMF iPhone app (for fun). If interested in this app, it's called Ghost Hunter M2.

A Brief History: The BGT is well-known for having a high paranormal activity level, and therefore, a popular place to investigate in Ontario. The tunnel is 665 feet long, 713 feet long with the winged stoned edges. It took a year to build and was complete in 1876. It was an underground rail tunnel, now abandoned, which went under the third welland canal between locks 18 and 19. In years gone by, there have been a number of fatalities in the vicinity of the tunnel which many feel are what haunt it today. In 1903, there was a train collision 100 yards west of the west entrance killing two firemen who manned the boilers on each train. In 1915, the last train used this tunnel due to the new swing bridge with double rails that went over the third canal. In 1923, there was a calling for the graves in a nearby cemetery to be moved to another nearby cemetery as the construction of the new fourth Welland Canal (current one) would need to occupy its space for a pondage area or reservoir. 250 graves were moved leaving 613 behind to be flooded over with water. They still remain under the pondage area near the tunnel and pumphouse to this day. In August 6, 1928, eight men were killed while working on lock 6 of the new fourth Welland Canal. Ironically, two years later on the exact date of August 6, 1930, eight more men were killed at the same location.
