In this week's extra episode, we journey beneath the streets of Lockport, New York, into a half-mile hydraulic tunnel known today as the Lockport Cave. Carved by Irish immigrants and orphaned boys in the 1800s, the tunnel’s creation was marked by deadly explosions, collapsing rock, and human tragedy. Visitors have reported eerie voices, shadowy figures, unexplained laughter, and cold spots. We explore the ghostly lore that haunts its tunnels to this day.
