Hello and welcome back to the Most Amazing Channel on the Internet, I am your host Rebecca
Felgate and I don’t know if you know this, but I love a good train!
I really do!
I am absolutely all about a steam train!
My dream is to get the train across Canada!
I think it would be truly incredible!
Today though, we are getting freaky as we rattle down those tracks – we’re talking
the Top 10 Scary Haunted Train Urban Legends.
Before we roll into this video, I just want to ask you guys if you believe in urban legends
…. But also…if you like trains!
Also, while you are there, why don’t you hit that thumbs up button for me!
Also, if you want to connect with me after the video, links to my social are in the description
box.
10 - Disappearing Train in China What on earth is going on at the Bataou Station?
Legend has it that a ghost train passes up and down the tracks, picking up ghostly passengers
and moving forwards through the station.
Until March 2018, it was just a rumour, but then THIS CCTV footage was captured of a transparent,
ghostly looking train moving along the tracks, slowing to a halt as if allowing passengers
to embark and disembark, and then start up again.
The footage was uploaded to youtube by The Hidden Underbelly 2.0 and has been watched
over 2.3 million times.
Some critics say that the footage isn’t legit, others say it looks like a retaping
over old cctv tapes.
Some people said it looks like reflection in a window while others are straight up going
parallel universe.
9 - The White Sari Ghost of Beg-un-kodor Station In the Indian Ayodhya hills sits Bengunkodor
Station.
The station has laid empty and defunct from 1967 to 2009 reportedly because of the fate
that met the former station master!
The station employee reported that he saw a woman in a white sari dancing in the middle
of the night.
He thought her to be a ghost of a woman killed by a train.
He told other people in the village about it, and a few days later he and his family
were found dead.
His replacement at the station also went missing just days into the job.
With word filtering around the village, people started avoiding the station, eventually leading
to its closure.
Railway officials have always denied the ghost story, and the station has been re-opened,
however trains stop running after 5pm, reportedly so that no one every comes across the sari
clad ghost!
8 - San Antonio Train Track children Legend has it that once upon a time in San
Antonio there was a horrifying crash between a train and a bus filled with children.
According to the tales in the area, a school bus stalled on train lines as the warning
lights signaling the approach of the train lit up.
The driver was unable to start the bus and drive off in time and sadly the two vehicles
collided, killing all on board the bus.
The legend, dating back to the 70s, goes that if a car halts on the same piece of track,
the ghosts of the children will push the car forward to safety.
On top of that, many have reported seeing the imprints of little children’s hands
on their cars afterwards.
Freakier still, the road where the ghosts are supposed to haunt is surrounded by a set
of streets named after children, such as Cindy Sue, Laura Lee and Bobbie Allen…could these
be the bus crash victims?
Snopes said that the movement of the vehicles at the crossing is down to a slight incline
at the site, which rolls cars in neutral forwards and that the street names were of the developers
grand children.
However with so many ghostly reports, the legend of the San Antonio Train Track Children
lives on.
7 - the 100 year old missing train In 1910, a freight train went missing near
the great lakes of north America…
like…vanished out of thin air.
All of its cargo and its three crew members were gone, and people presumed the train derailed
and crashed near near mink harbour in Onatrio, falling into Lake Superior.
Locals in the area reported ghost sightings along the tracks and around the harbour of
confused looking men, who were staring out over the lake.
Fast forward 106 years and the train wreckage was found at the bottom of the lake.
The pictures of the wreck are truly incredible.
Apparently the train is the only sunken locomotive in the great lakes region.
Recovery experts say the train cannot be raised as it is too damaged and would disintegrate.
Sadly, divers could not locate the body of the three men who died in the crash.
Without raising the train, the souls of the three lost crew may be trapped in the lake
forever.
6 - The Silver Train of Stockholm Ah, the silverpilen, or silver arrow of Stockholm
has been the subject of Swedish Urban Legends for Decades.
In Stockholm, the subway trains are blue, they used to be green.
One train, however is silver.
The story dates back to 1965 when people started spotting the silver train every now and then.
Sightings were so rare that the train became the stuff of legends.
There are a whole bunch of legends surrounding this train, all of them pretty spooky.
Many people say that the train has only ever been spotted in abandoned tunnels by construction
workers and subway workers.
Some say that the train goes around picking up passengers that either show up weeks later
dazed and confused, or never show up again at all.
Some people say they have only ever seen the train after midnight, going high speed through
stations.
Eye witnesses describe the carriages as empty, save for a few figures.
Are they ghosts?
The stories about the Silverpilen were at their pinnacle in the 1980s, but a lot of
people in the city still talk about the legendary silver train.
The Silverpilen urban legend sometimes feeds in to stories about Kymlinge, a metro station
on the Stockholm Metro Line 11, which gets a whole urban legend point of its very own
– and it is coming in to number 5.
There are a lot of ghost stories about Kymlinge – one says that it is haunted by the Silverpilen,
but others suspected a wider ghost conspiracy.
Kymlinge is an abandoned metro station – a ghost station if you will.
A lot of people are baffled by its existence and the reason why, even after it was built,
transport authorities never opened the building for service.
It is said that only the dead get off at Kymlinge.
4 - St Louis Light The St Louis Light urban legend refers to
mysterious lights moving up and down an abandoned old rail line in Saskatchewan.
It is said the lights vary in colour and brightness and can still be seen to this day, Now I think
good old Daniel the Spaniel Lurkington Burkinton put this one in his Canadian Urban Legends
Video… a lot of people say the lights are of a ghost train passing through the night,
and others say that the light comes from the lamp held by the ghost of a drunk headless
brakeman who was decapitated by a train passing by at speed.
He now spends eternity wandering up the track looking for his lost head!
Canada loves the unsolved mystery so much, in 2014 Canada post even issued a special
stamp depicting the St Louis Ghost Train.
Some people thought the mystery was solved in 2009, when two local high school students
duplicated the lights using diffraction, leading them to conclude the lights came from distant
vehicles.
That is all well and good, but the lights have been noted long before cars sprang up
in the area.
3 - The Whitechapel Corpse Train According to London Underground folklore,
in the early days of the tube, so we’re talking early 1900s, there used to be a special
train that transported corpses from the Royal London Hospital in White Chapel to morgues
in the city.
Why would they have their own train?
Well not only would It be quicker, but it also spared Victorian era Londoners exposure
to sickness and disease.
A train flying by with dead bodies?
Creepy.
Whitechapel itself as an area is creepy enough as it is, what with it being the old stomping
ground of Jack the Ripper.
Many people say that the White Chapel tube station is haunted, and it could be a number
of possible ghosts given the areas history.
Adding substance to the legend of the corpse train, a lot of people swear there is a bricked
up tunnel at white chapel, saying it is the old entrance to the corpse train route.
There is actually an abandoned station near by called St Mary’s, on White Chapel Road.
Perhaps this has something to do with the legend.
2 - Crying Victims at Kings Cross In 1987 there was a horrifying fire at London’s
Kings Cross St Pancreas station.
On November 18th A major fire broke out on the wooden Piccadilly line escalator.
The flame swept upwards and got so hot that the ticket office floor melted and collapsed.
The cause of the fire was a matched dropped down the side of the escalator and ignited
the grease underneath.
31 people died and 100 were injured, The old wooden escalator was due to be replaced with
a metal one, but sadly for those that lost their life, it hadn’t yet happened.
Rumours of souls left trapped in that station that night have been rife.
In 1998 a man spotted a distressed woman crying into her hands.
When he went to ask her if she was okay, he passed straight through her.
This is just one of many sightings of the crying girl – with some saying they have
seen a woman with long brown hair screaming with her arms outstretched, and when they
go to assist her, she isn’t there.
This could be the same ghost, or maybe even an entirely different one.
Who knows how many of the 31 victims could haunt the station.
Other people have reported smelling smoke in the area of the building the fire broke
out.
Clearly the emotional trauma of that evening has left some kind of paranormal impact on
the place.
Presidential Ghost Train 1 - Abe Lincoln’s Ghost Train
When Abraham Lincoln was assassinated, his body went on display on a funeral train that
passed through the northern states of the USA on a final journey that was to end at
his home in Springfield Illinois.
The train left Washington DC on April the 21st 1865 and travelled for days, reaching
Columbus on April 29th, where he laid in state for 12 hours.
People lined the tracks to watch his train pass.
Legend has it that on late April evenings, a spectral train can be seen along the same
path the funeral train tool.
Some say the see a phantom train, some say they hear a whistle and others swear they
smell a puff of smoke.
People from the towns the train passed by make a big deal of trying to spot the phantom
funeral train each year.
There we have it.
That was the Top 10 Scary Haunted Train Urban Legends!
How did you feel about that?
Do you think any of them are true?
Let me know your thoughts in the comments section down below.
Before I head out, I just want to read a few comments from one of my videos last week….

swings was moving by itself then I heard something next to me laugh.

Shepard Turner was a fan of my earings…they said: Those earrings look great on you Rebecca.

around the world while the rest of the team is backing him up with specific kinds of Urban
Legends that may not be covered in his series.
I enjoy these stories for various reasons: scary is fun, the similarities between stories
from different places show a common ground with ideas, moral focus, and fears, and when
stories that are different from anything you've heard before crop up, you can appreciate the
differences between your culture and theirs and learn something new from them.?
SO that is that really!
