The Story

The old copper-mine tunnels became a prison, and Haunted Places reports apparitions lingering in the former confinement spaces. One particularly curious account describes a ghostly guide, as though tours continue beyond the visible staff. Other visitors have reported cries and the sensation of being touched when nobody was beside them.
