Case Overview
What happened at Mushroom Tunnel?
The disused railway tunnel at Picton, built in 1867, is infamous as one of Australia’s most haunted locations. Locals tell of a young woman named Emily Bollard, killed in 1916 while walking through the tunnel, whose ghost is said to appear as a glowing white figure drifting along the tracks. Other visitors report sudden temperature drops, phantom footsteps, and eerie voices echoing in the darkness. Paranormal investigators have recorded strange light phenomena inside, while residents warn that the tunnel becomes especially active at night. Once a vital rail link, it is now remembered less for trains than for its spectral reputation.
