Sometimes you enter a place where your body reacts in a way that tells you it is nothing but trouble. Your hair raises, you feel a chill down your spine, and each step you take further gets slower as you feel the uneasiness of being there start really setting in. Underground tunnels in particular tend to be those kinds of places, especially when they are deserted. They’re hopelessly empty and totally quiet – except for the buzz of the electricity in the dim lighting overhead – resulting in one of the eeriest environments ever. This creepy haunted tunnel in North Dakota is sure to raise every hair on the back of your neck.
It gets extra spooky when you factor in the ghost stories. North Dakota has its own supposedly-haunted tunnel, and it’s been making spines tingle for decades.
Max Sang/Flickr The tunnel in question is part of the underground tunnels on the campus of the University of North Dakota in Grand Forks. These tunnels connect various buildings and have been there for years. These are useful in the winter and can be busy during the day, but at night, they are something entirely different. What lurks there drives people away from even thinking of setting foot there.
Among the tunnels underneath the West Hall, shown above, is a spirit that has been known to roam the corridors for decades.
Google Maps This ghost has been described as a girl, sometimes seen floating down the tunnel without any legs, and many times known to cause mischief in the dorms above it. Reports describe her as appearing to be lost, frantic, and usually semi-transparent. According to some people, they have experienced things like writing appearing on their dorm walls. With the sheer number of people that have had experiences with this, it can’t be just a coincidence….right? Needless to say, this place is definitely in the realm of being haunted.
Though the story of this girl is mostly unknown, the story may be that she was a student in the 1960s who got trapped outside in white out blizzard conditions and froze to death, right above where the tunnel would be.
Entering this tunnel at night is something you should only do at your own risk, and is definitely not for people who are faint of heart. If we had to travel from that building to another place on that campus at night, we think we would just walk outside…as long as it wasn’t during a snowstorm, that is!

Haunted Tunnel in North Dakota September 29, 2021 Tori Jane What are some genuinely haunted places in North Dakota? North Dakota is one of those states that seems as if it was just destined to be haunted. You would be amazed at the sheer number of ghosts, spooks, legends, and other spooky things that this state holds. Some of the most haunted locations in the state include the former governor’s mansion in Bismarck, which is said to be haunted by, well, a former North Dakota governor who was said to have lived – and died – inside the house. That one offers daily tours, so you can still go inside, making it a highly-accessible haunt. There’s also a haunted library in Harvey; the public library in the town is home to a ghost named Sophie. The Empire Arts Center, in Grand Forks, is also haunted, supposedly by three separate paranormal entities. If these places sound interesting to you, you should consider going on this awesome haunted North Dakota road trip, which includes all of these and then some! Where are some creepy places in North Dakota? Oh, goodness, where to begin. Like we mentioned a moment ago, North Dakota is just a creepy place. It’s one of the least-populous states in the country, but it sure has plentiful ghost stories and legends. Visit “the pyramid of the prairie”, which was once a complex system of missile silos that’s now a decaying monument seemingly in the middle of nowhere. It’s got a pretty creepy vibe to it, or so says many visitors who go there. The Old Armory, in Williston, is home to a poltergeist that enjoys moving mannequins around seemingly on their own, which, seriously, if that’s not the most terrifying thing you’ve ever read, we don’t know what to tell you. Imagine being on a tour of that building, built in the early 1900s, and then noticing the mannequins’ heads are following you as you walk by. Nooooope.
