A haunted place means to be cursed or occupied by ghosts. But not all places are haunted by just ghosts. Sometimes you feel things you are not supposed to feel. Sometimes you hear things you are not supposed to hear. Sometimes you see things you are not supposed to see. Most of the time, those factors decide if that place is haunted or not. Tunnels are horrifying. The darkness hides many secrets, always leaving one question behind, “Are there two entrances/exits, or just one entrance/exit?”
