#22 - INDIGO

Indigo Tunnel is an abandoned railway tunnel in Allegany County, Maryland, in the USA. It probably isn’t haunted. But what if it was?  

CONTENT NOTE: MENTION OF VOMIT. 




The Ghosts of Indigo Tunnel 

Reminding us they’ve been here all along,
the spectres echo cruelly through the gloom,
their tendrils graze our wrists, the air feels wrong,
the blackened walls march closer. We’re entombed
by flickering projections on the bricks.
The acrid scent of smoke, the scorch of skin,
the cloying panic finds your throat and sticks;
the frothing gloss of vomit coats your chin. 

Outside, the sunlight of a summer’s day
is dappled through the leaves as fine as lace. 
The elders, searching, know which words to say,
until they see the look upon your face. 

A haunting is a solitary thing;
despite the darkness, we must learn to sing.
