History & local legend
Larry Kress described a brief encounter at Corvette Tunnel in South Park one April evening in 1994. He returned with his girlfriend, Peach, and her friend Deanna after having visited the previous year, when he and a friend tested how strongly their voices echoed beneath the arch.
As Kress and Peach entered, he recalled a sudden chill, a deep male moan and a pulsing white light within the tunnel. The sound seemed louder than the shouting he remembered from his earlier visit. Within about ten seconds, everything stopped.
Deanna had remained behind briefly to put her purse in the car. From roughly fifteen steps outside the entrance, she heard the couple deciding to leave but had missed the moan and light. Kress’s account specifically concerns the road-and-creek tunnel, not the adjacent abandoned bore more often called Green Man Tunnel.
