The HAUNTED Hoosac Tunnel in The Berkshires of Massachusetts!

[@JMExplorations]

They say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What may seem an eyesore to one person, just might be a beautiful masterpiece to another. There are places beloved by communities and protected in the hearts of those that hold their memories of its tattered hallways and decayed rooms dear. This is the way that we feel when we explore places that have been forgotten by time. Left to rot and decay and only holding the silent whispers of what once was. We know that there are people out there with malicious intent toward these places that we venture into. It saddens us when we see the filth and destruction they leave behind, but we want to make something very clear… We are explorers and lovers of history. We in no way, shape or form condone the criminal activities that take place in the historical decaying places that we document. Social media has brought many of these places to the limelight, but the intention is to show the beauty and mystery of abandonment. Not to invite trouble. Trouble will find its way on its own and to say that the peaceful documentation of these places leads to criminal activity, is mind blowing. We have met so many amazing fellow explorers in our travels and are so thankful and humbled by the positive responses we have received. We know that this type of exploration is not for everyone…many people don’t understand why we find such beauty in decay, we can only explain it as a beautiful journey into the past. We invite you to watch our explores and come along as we visit these amazing places. As for the criminal activity that occurs, those individuals are responsible for their own actions. It is a terrible part of our society, but reality, nonetheless. Thank you for taking the time to read this and for loving this location just as much as we do. We hope that through this video, the memories held within will remain.

[@JMExplorations]

@Grapthar's Hebrew Hammer Wow!! You hit the nail on the head!! Yes the beauty of abandonment captivates us, but it is the memories that we are making together and the great people, like you, that we get to meet along the way, that make these places extraordinary!! Thank you so much for this amazing comment. Take care and a very Happy New Year to you!!

I was born in Pittsfield Massachusetts which is not very far from this place. I moved to Kansas when I was 2 years old and finally got to move back to my birthplace of Pittsfield in the year 2000. This is a magical and majestic place and very haunted I've been here a couple times and it's got such an eerie vibe and some very noticeable energy. It's known as the bloody pit because of how many workers have died because the collapses fall making this tunnel. I myself had my own experience there voices, noises, and the noticeable energy around you. Not only is it haunted but it's beautiful and mysterious. What a great video it's nice to see this place again

[@JMExplorations]

We are so happy to have had you come along with us for this explore and we love that you have been able to experience it for yourself! Thank you so much for watching and for this great comment! Take care and have a happy and safe New Year!

These adventures just bless my soul. At 3:24 I heard the whisper as you were looking at the tunnel, the spirits are alive! You know, I've felt the same jennifer, water in my boots is always fun lol Gosh those old ruins are an Exploring and landscape/ruins photographers dream (loved it). This tunnel has sooo much to see and simply amazing!!! Those loose wires are a bit scary!!! Be safe and enjoy every moment my friends, thanks for bringing us along on another fun filled adventure ... Together Forever 😊🌲

Wow, Marcel! At 16:20 when you pointed the camera down at the hole! I am so glad you were watching where you were going! It got me thinking... what were the worst injuries that either of you have ever gotten (or close calls)? Maybe it can be a discussion on your next live stream and maybe other explorers can add to the conversation in the chat! It will be interesting to know. Glad u two got out of here safely. And Jen I loved how u sounded like "a 5 year old" when you saw the 🐟🐟! That would've been ME too! 😊❤ Ok, back to the video...

[@JMExplorations]

That is a GREAT subject for discussion!! Thank you for that suggestion! So check out 25:16 of this video for the answer to your question... kzbin.info/www/bejne/e6eug6R3ntRgoqc I (Jen) have only had cuts, bruises, bug bites and poison ivy, but there was one time that I was really worried that we were about to fall through a floor. If I don't feel safe, I don't go in...period. Lol about the fishies....I always regress a little (ok, a bunch) when we explore! Thank you for watching and for your great comment!!

I find it cool how the original tunnel that never got built still has the original tunnel boring machine in there. I've always loved visiting the Hoosac Tunnel the west side so far has had two collapses back in 2020 and the second one was almost a close call when the hillside caved in be careful out there

[@JesseAllenJr]

What the hell was that at 3:24? Sounds too loud and clear to be Supernatural, were there other people walking around off camera? Omg, AGAIN at 11:04 lol. So many odd sounds in this video, it's creepy. I hope you two carry a weapon in your adventures!

[@JMExplorations]

That sound at 3:24 is a total mystery. We were there alone, so that voice came from nowhere. The place where that sound came from was most definitely completely empty. It only goes back about 12 feet and when you enter, you can see the entire room before you. Definitely mysterious. The noise at 11:04 is a mystery as well, but could have been an echo from the tunnel itself. I'm going to have to go back and listen to it with headphones. As for weapons...nope. We do carry pepper spray on some of our explores, but we have never had to use it. We do appreciate your concern:)

Can I get the exact directions. I'm going to berkshire county in a couple weeks and I wanna go here. I've driven through area a few times.

Do you know the coordinates?

[@JMExplorations]

If you want to go to the East portal, here are the coordinates: 42.674936, -72.996040 Just plug those into Google maps and you can get directions. There is poor cell service there, so plan your trip with that in mind. It is an active track, so be aware of that if you go near the tunnel. The west portal is: 42.67550° N, 73.09137° W

Im pretty sure that the tunnel is a lot older than we where told.

[@JMExplorations]

We go by history, documentation and clues to the past. Unless you have been there yourself, you probably wouldn't understand what we are talking about. Not every place is associated with your beliefs. Some places are legitimately built during the time periods that have been documented. The building of this place is associated with the Industrial Revolution. We have done extensive research on the genesis of its creation. The ruins that we found nearby are another story...perhaps a relic of a more ancient past. Thank you for watching.

That first place isn't the first tunnel attempt. It's an out housing for a compressed air tank.

[@JMExplorations]

We had researched extensively and would be interested to hear your source. One resource of ours was told verbally. A local told us about the first attempt and it’s positioning to the tunnel. The second was an excerpt from “A Pinprick of Light” page 13, 4th paragraph as well as a photograph on pages 29 and 51 that clearly show the positioning of the first tunnel attempt on the East Portal. The first attempt made it 10-12 feet, which is roughly the depth of the tunnel we explored and that you called us out on. Could it be that they utilized the failed attempt spot for a compressed air tank? If not, please cite your source so that we can do further research. We never claim to be experts, but we were confident of the information we gathered on this first tunnel site. If we are wrong, well, we still told the history of the first tunnel attempt, which was amazing, although a defeat, in and of itself, so we are happy to have given that piece of history to people who may never have known about that.
