Hello, you sputacular people. Welcome to this 630th episode of the History Ghostbump podcast. Ghost Tours

for the Theater of the Mind. I am your host, I am. And this is Kelly. Kelly, on this episode,

we're going to be talking about haunted air force bases. Oh, very good. We have quite a few of them.

These are ones that are in America because we do have bases all around the world. These are specifically here. And I think all bases probably have hauntings going on. But these ones have the most well-known stories. So we may not have covered every one of them or maybe one specifically that you're

world and of our lives. Sometimes that history goes bump in the night.

Street to Murray Street.

Oh, sneaky devil.

The construction was completed in 58 days and was a single car line that used air pressure to move passengers between the two destinations.

His goal was to alleviate traffic congestion in the city.

The tunnel greeted passengers with a luxurious station, with a grand piano, chandeliers, and a goldfish pond.
