In many countries there are very varied legends, even in those with a more recent history and in relatively modern places.<\/p>\n

The Zone of Silence: a land full of myths whose origin is in a US military rocket<\/a><\/rel><\/p>\n

The United States is a relatively young country<\/strong> compared to the older, major European countries, but it has already accumulated many legends,<\/strong> especially in the area of \u200b\u200bthe original thirteen colonies. In one of them, the current state of Pennsylvania, there is a curious legend related to the Curry Hollow tunnel, built in Dravosburg in 1920 under a railroad track.<\/strong> The tunnel is 14 meters wide and 130 meters long, according to the website pghbridges.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There is a legend that a man was murdered in this tunnel and since then, when it rains, blood falls from the tunnel vault<\/strong>. Like most legends, this one has a logical explanation: there is probably a rusty pipe above the tunnel vault<\/strong> and the rust is the reason why the water falls with a reddish colour. Here you can see the western access to the tunnel on Google Maps<\/a>, in images taken in May 2012, before this tunnel was closed to vehicle traffic:<\/p>\n
