In addition of seeing visions of people waking and disappearing in midair, especially a small child that sometimes can be heard calling to his grandfather.

• Historians think that an unfortunate event happened in the western side of the tunnel. As the story goes, on November 7 of 1944 a serious accident occurred when the train derailed and many of its passengers died, just before the west entrance of this tunnel. After that accident, the railroad industry on the island went into decline until the trains disappeared.
