"During the mid to late 1950s and early 1960s stories began to swirl about the haunting of Sensabaugh Tunnel. The local teenagers would often use the small parking spot just before entering the tunnel as a necking spot, a place to hang out, make out and get into all kinds of mischief. The stories started small: Strange eerie noises of crying and screaming coming from inside the dark center of the tunnel itself. Not long after a story began to whisper on the air: A baby had been killed by a hobo in the tunnel after a robbery went wrong at the Sensabaugh home on the other side of the tunnel. The most common variation on the story was that a hobo broke into the Sensabaugh home and took the family jewels and kidnapped the baby as insurance after he was caught. Running through the tunnel with Ed Sensabaugh hot on his tail, the hobo tossed the baby into the pool of water on the side of the tunnel facing away from the house to distract Sensabaugh as he made his escape.
Another variation is that Ed Sensabaugh, the man who lived in the white house on the other side of the tunnel, went crazy one night and murdered his entire family and then killed himself inside the tunnel. On top of that story, was the tale of a woman who was driving home one night during a thunderstorm who had car trouble inside the tunnel, breaking down. She got out of her car and walked towards the Sensabaugh home to use the phone. She never made it and is assumed to have either been murdered by a lunatic or just vanished into the tunnel itself, not unlike the demonic house in Rose Red.
It was said that no one could ever walk the tunnel at midnight, from back to front without going insane or being attacked. There were stories of cars driving through the tunnel, shutting off their engines on purpose and a few seconds later be unable to start them up again, all the while hearing shrieking laughter and seeing a tall dark figure with red eyes rise up from the shadows behind the car. Later, tiny child size hand prints would be found seared into the vehicle."
