Ghost Train
In ghostlore, a ghost train is a phantom vehicle in the form of a locomotive or train. The ghost train differs from other traditional forms of haunting in that rather than being a static location where ghosts are claimed to be present, "the apparition is the entire train". Despite the obvious fact that 'sightings' are usually one time occurrences from unreliable or unofficial sources, the stories told have offered both entertainment and unease throughout the years, though really, are nothing more than tall tales. Geographical distribution Ghost trains are reported in many different parts of the world where trains have at some point been prevalent forms of transportation. Accounts of ghost trains have been reported in Canada,Ron Brown, ''Rails Across the Prairies: The Railway Heritage of Canada's Prairie Provinces'' (2012), p. 142. Japan, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and in many states of the United States. Japan: Tanuki versus steam trains In Japan, the or is a folk tale of a ...
