The Screaming Tunnel on Niagra Falls

The legend of this old train tunnel has been a right-of-passage for Niagara youth for over a century. Those who brave the dark tunnel at night and hold up one lit wooden match will instantly become immortal among their friends.

This is an imposing dark structure, and at night it transforms into a black portal that would create anxiety on any who disappear into the darkness, but why such fear, and why a wooden match?
