Of course, tonight is Halloween by now.

Most communities are wrapping up their trick or treating.

We hope everybody had a safe night and got lots of canning because it's Halloween.

Of course, we had to have at least one scary story for you tonight.

So OnQ, contributors Dave and Dave recently spent some time underground in a local haunted mine.

Here's a look at what they found.

[Music Plays] My name is Bob Black were at the Tour-Ed Mine today in Toronto, Pennsylvania.

Now what is the tour Ed mine?

The tour ed mine was the dream of our founder.

Mr.

Ira Wood was his dream to preserve this mine as a piece of industrial heritage.

It was an operating coal mine opened up in 1900 as the Avenue Mine produced closed until 1968.

So we stopped the production in the mine, switched it to a tour mine.

So from 1968 to the present.

We've been educating the public about coal mining.

[Music Plays] One day, the founder and I were sitting together exchanging coal mining stories, talking about things that made us uncomfortable in a coal mine were being afraid and things.

And he suggested that we try a haunted coal mine as a fun way to make money.

We did it three years ago and it's been a terrific success.

Now, what separates this haunted house from, say, all the other haunted houses out there?

We're a little different.

We actually go about 200ft underground.

You would think coal mines are scary already.

That is 100% right.

I think we have half the battle right ther because people are a lot of them are nervous about the coal mine.

Just the setting that we have around here, the log house, the museum, it just adds to it.

So we have the mind.

We incorporate all the the different outbuildings as part of our haunt.

[Screaming] What can we expect in thi different kind of haunted house?

Expect to be scared.

We use a little cart, give them a ride by tractor down into our ticket center.

Then they're witted to.

They're called in groups of between 8 and 10 people to begin our haunt.

You're taking in on what's called a mantra park, which is basically a mine car that pulls people into the mine, and they're dropped off inside the mine, and they have to find their way out.

Well, go to the haunted mine.

For your safety, please keep your helmets on at all times.

So throughout there, they're going to meet demonstrations and characters of all sorts and sizes.

And till they finally, hopefully make it right out to this path right here.

Have you lost anyone during this tour?

Actually, yeah!

Believe it or not!

Yes, they got lost on it!

So when you, like, reopen Memorial Day, you find a few people.

Believe it or not, w find a lot of things down there.

So someone has a legitimate shot of not coming back?

Absolutely.

I mean, anything could happen 200ft underground.

[Music Plays] This is our autopsy room.

Okay?

Of our mad scientist.

And we basically give the rules.

Okay?

Obviously, what we want to do is make sure they're not touching anybody and not smoking or using a lighter or a cell phone.

I mean, you are underground.

You are in a mine!

You going for a ride?

Go go go.

So do you have a lot of scary dogs in mines?

I mean, is that a normal mine occur?

Actually, we have a lot of natural things that occur in mines.

Obviously we have bats to come in and out.

And small animals and rodents.

Rats, raccoons, skunks.

So you never know what you're going to have when you go in.

No, wait.

The dark.

This is called a mantra.

This is how basically how the miners, you stay out of the mine.

And how far do we go down?

First we just under 200ft.

[Music Plays] Now, another thing you have going for you.

I could see my breath down here.

It's about 55 degrees down here.

Almost all year round.

It's really nice in the summer when we have really hot days.

[Music Plays] So this is not the haunted house for people who have claustrophobia.

Absolutely not.

And with all the rain and stuff like that that we've had, you're going to have a lot of extra moisture down here.

You're gonna have stuff dripping on you.

It's going to hit the back of your neck and you're going to cringe.

So Mother Nature supplies a lot of your special effects right now.

You can see the breath, but if you turn around and look at that mining light, there's a natural fog in here right now.

[Screaming] A lot of the other haunted houses.

Use plow, wood, plastic and things like that to create their walls.

Yeah, we have to do that with some of us, some of our areas, because we are so wide to leave the natural face of the mine and seeing this rock formation.

So you're saying this is all real?

That's all real.

110%.

This is a coal mine, after all.

Absolutely!

That ladies and gentleman is coal!

And this is where most of the dead come to life.

Might not want to get too close to the size because you never know.

[Screaming] Get back here!

Not so fast!

Some of the things that are done here are natural, such as this piece of cribbing here that's used to keep this crack from going anywhere.

As you can see that there's a pretty decent track.

There certainly is by force from Home Depot literally holding up the arm.

Absolutely!

Wounded up outside.

Okay.

Come the whole way through.

And one big one half circle.

It's got to be pretty disorienting.

I mean, all of a sudden you're outside.

Right!

[Screaming] We're done with the tour.

What do you think people get out of this?

We hope they're scared.

And probably people get a little appreciation for what monitors go through.

You saw in some of those places, you know, it's pretty low.

It's cold, it's dark, it's down.

And it's just naturally scary on its own.
