The Legend of The Ghost of Silver Run Tunnel, is one of great mystery and not easily dismissed as superstition. History has recorded several crossings of the 'lovely girl phantom' and the engineers of the old B&O Railroad. They had witnessed "a beautiful woman with raven hair and long white gown, standing in the middle of the tracks at the far end of the tunnel." In the late 1880s a young lady disappeared from the night train making her way to Parkersburg to be married. One instance had the engineer bringing his train to a screeching halt, and yet another, running his train directly through the ghostly apparition. After reaching Parkersburg, he was informed that telegraph messages from all along the line had reported "that a young woman in a white gown was seen walking the tracks", but no one was to be found.
