This is just one possibility of what could happen if you drive through the Sensabaugh Tunnel.

There, on the wall, hung a well crafted painting of a young boy and girl, standing in front of a glass paneled door. It’s a lovely work of art, yet the more you look at it, the more you feel uneasy. Then, the painting appeared to come to life; the boy and girl would fight during the night, and eventually the boy would escape the painting and enter the room where it hung. The painting is titled, “The Hands Resist Him,” a work by artist Bill Stoneham.

There was once a blind old man. One night, he was viciously attacked by a band of robbers. Unable to see an escape, or even defend himself, he was left for dead in the middle of a field. Angry, he cried out in frustration, “If only I had seen their faces! But my eyes can’t see! If only I had eyes on the palms of my hands!” This is the origin of Tenome.
