Reports include disembodied screams, the smell of kerosene, strange footsteps, and apparitions of a shadowy figure or a man with a lantern. Some stories suggest the tunnel's construction led to bodies from a cemetery above falling onto the tracks, adding to the paranormal activity.

A local legend describes a family whose horse and buggy crashed near the "Devil's Backbone," a dangerous ridge, leading to their deaths. Screams of the family are sometimes heard on cold, clear nights. The ghost of a night watchman named Henry Dixon, who was murdered in the tunnel, is also reported. His ghostly lantern is often seen. Investigators and visitors have heard unexplained screams, children crying, horses neighing, and strange footsteps. The smell of kerosene has been reported, possibly linked to the ghost of the night watchman. Reports include the appearance of a headless man with a lantern and shadowy figures or dark shadows of men. Some individuals have felt a hand on their shoulder or the sensation of their ankle being grabbed. A major cause for the legends is the belief that bodies from a cemetery located above the tunnel fell onto the tracks when the tunnel was being dug, leading to haunting activity.
