Walls along the tunnel were covered in graffiti. Cars passing through the tunnel would break down all of a sudden. Creepy weeping sounds could be heard from the tunnel at night. In 1988, a man was driving through the tunnel. His car suddenly burst into flames for no reason. He was trapped in the car and burn to death. Inunaki Tunnel is now sealed off and trespassers will face punishment.
The Eight-feet Ghost
