--FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE--
NIAGARA'S
INFAMOUS HAUNTED HOT-SPOT REVEALED
Niagara's Blue Ghost Tunnel
is exposed in paranormal researcher's newest book-
The Blue Ghost Tunnel:
Making of a Legend.
In
paranormal circles across Canada and the United States, the hauntings
at The Blue Ghost Tunnel (BGT) frequent the conversation. Often
referred to as "The Most Haunted Location" in Canada or a
place where you are guaranteed activity, the tunnel is synonymous
with historical haunted locations across North America.
A
few years of intense interest on the Internet, multiple
investigations and visits by paranormal enthusiasts prompted the once
popular TV program Creepy Canada to film at the location. Together
with a Ghost Tour Group, Haunted Hamilton, questionable psychics and
an impromtu "historian" of the tunnel, they exposed the
location to tens of thousands of viewers solidifying the legend and
suspected haunt. The episode depicted the tunnel as "700 ft of
Hell on Earth!" As a result of their illegal trespassing and
exposure of the location, the site became explosively popular and
thousands of visitors each year come to visit the tunnel prompting
the Seaway Authority to attempt to secure the location.
But
who really discovered this long, lost tunnel? What is the truth
behind the hauntings and experiences at the tunnel? Is the tunnel an
Urban Legend, conjured-up by a young wannabe author? Are we simply
developing our own experiences using our own minds? Or is the tunnel
really haunted?
The
book includes interviews, photographs and documents from decades past
including the first ever investigation in 1976. It includes
historical accounts from the 1940s, 1950s, 1960s and 1970s with
photographs and evidence supporting a number of theories. Photographs
have been generously donated by residents including Kevin Valencourt,
Niagara-area photographer.
“Without
question, it is a “must read” for anyone interested in folklore,
ghosts, urban legends, or all points in between...especially in
Southern Ontario,” Matthew James Didier, PSICAN
“The
BGT is thus a microcosm of all that is best and worst, but mostly
worst, in paranormal research. Savoie evaluates the various accounts
that have accumulated around the BGT, considers whether there might
be any truth in them, and looks at possible explanations for people’s
experiences,” Tom Ruffles, SPR
“This
book is extremely entertaining, and a worthwhile read for anyone
interested in ghosts, ghost hunting, history, urban legends,
folklore, and the internet’s role in creating, and spreading mythos
with break neck speed. While the Blue Ghost Tunnel became an internet
phenomenon it is an excellent example of how urban legends begin,
evolve, and how they can endure as folklore that will be passed
through generations.” Sue Demeter-St. Clair, PSICAN
“...the
book is a valuable contribution to studies on folklore, urban
legends, and paranormal experiences.” Christopher Laursen,
multimedia historian and author
The
book is available for purchase online in print and as an ebook.
