I know, 2 posts in one day but I had to fill you all in on this news...
You all know how I love ghosts, spirits, mediums, psychics, bigfoot, blah, blah, blah...
Well, the other night I watched a show that focused on "The Ghost Train" of North Carolina. The investigators tried to recreat or find the "ghost light" but couldn't do either. I find it all just fascinating.
How I'd LOVE to go on a ghost hunt or a quest to find bigfoot or the chupicabra or see a UFO. But, I have a feeling something like this would be the outcome...
STATESVILLE, N.C. — Authorities say a man who was waiting with several friends for a "ghost train" from a North Carolina legend was killed when a real train came down the tracks.
Iredell County Sheriff Phil Redmond says 29-year-old Christopher Kaiser of Charlotte was killed about 2:45 a.m. Friday as he waited with friends at a railroad trestle. Redmond says witnesses said about 12 people were on the trestle hoping to see a ghost train when the real train rounded a bend.
Everyone but Kaiser was able to clear the tracks at the end of the trestle. The train struck Kaiser, who was thrown into a ravine.
The legend developed from a train wreck on Aug. 27, 1891, that killed about two dozen people and injured many others. Folklore Web sites claim the accident can be heard on each anniversary.
Yep, that would be just my luck...
Gee, I'm glad you don't live anywhere near that track or trestle. You would BE there.
ReplyDeleteThat was fascinating.
That would be MY luck, too.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I wanted to thank you once again for that video of UFO's over LA. I will exact my revenge one of these days...
