ROGERS, Ky. — You can always go to a haunted house, but have you ever been on a haunted boat tour in an underground mine? The Gorge Underground Haunted Boat Tour is back. 

Inside the Gorge Underground, you’ll find a haunted boat tour sharing the tales of those who have passed through the mine. 

In complete darkness, Eddie Williams with Gorge Underground leads the boat tours through an experience like never before. 

“Next thing you know, 16 miners die and collapse. Their bodies remain. Their bodies remain until the next time. Another mistake happens,” Williams said.

The scary part is, these stories are not far from the truth.

“Of course for the miners, it's documented that only one person has died in the mine over the years. But that was after the 1940s, they say before that there were possibilities of stuff and they've heard tales of the 16 miners and stuff like that but nothing is verifiable, but it's like the stories that have come along with a mine over the years,” Williams said.

The boat tour is thirty minutes on water and thirty minutes on dry land. Mary Woods and Shayna Hagerty were ready for the scares, and said it was an experience like never before.

“Just the echoing in there, even when you can hear them coming and you can hear the water dripping off the sides is scary enough before you even see or have them jump out at you,” Woods said.

Miners dying and even a story of two children are told throughout the tour, another story that is not far from the truth.

“I had a group of paranormals come in here last year after the Halloween tours just to find out what they can see with all their different equipment, and they got a lot of great readings, a lot of things that they said were definitely hauntingish. There's been many tales, true or not but it's suffered a folklore about the mine over the years that is said that the two children had passed a boy and a girl, I kind of changed it to two girls because I had two girls, but a boy and a girl had passed by coming into the mine and getting lost and dying in the mine,” Williams said.

Screams, scares, zombies and more, the Haunted Boat Tour will tell you the stories of the Gorge Underground, with a little bit of a Halloween twist.
