The Haunting
Old Pea ridge Mine is a reportedly haunted tunnel or underground site in Sullivan, Missouri. Reports tied to the site usually focus on doors, lights, or objects moving on their own and a tragedy or violent past linked to the location.
Reported account from HauntTracker: 16 men died in the Pea Ridge Mine during it's 40 years of operation from 1961 to 2001. Why this place closed down is still unclear. 80% of the richest Iron Are deposit in North America is still under the ground at this location. It is like everyone just left the place for no reason. Strange sounds can be heard coming out of the mineshaft late at night. What did those miners uncover digging so deep in the earth. Was it a secret passage to hell?
- September 2004 update/correction. A reader did some research on the Mine in regard to why it shut down. Several newspaper clipping at the two local newspapers and other documents found on-line dealing with economics, Prices, etc., state that due to a huge decrease in Iron prices, the Mine was shut down in 2002 because of operational costs. (which took me almost two months to find out. Nothing was found about Mine on the town's main web pages. Really makes it look like they were hiding something. But it looks like all they were hiding was a big money and job loss to the town.)
Anyone researching the place in person should verify access first and stay within posted or legal boundaries.
