In an exclusive Members-Only episode we dive into the phenomena of ghost trains and ghost ships. In ghostlore, a ghost train is a phantom vehicle in the form of a locomotive or train. This phenomenon differs from other traditional forms of haunting, in that rather than being a fixed location where ghosts are claimed to be present, "the apparition is the entire train". From ghost trains to ghost ships, we also include a well-documented ghost ship where sailors had three well-documented sightings of a phantom ship and even climbed aboard the black vessel. We look deep into the archives and find real-life reports like the one from the Brooklyn Citizen in June of 1889, which tells the tale of several railroad employees who saw a phantom train that forever changed their careers. Become a member and listen to this one.

0:32.6 | cars of the rear train was a tall white figure of a man gesticulating wildly. While he |

1:14.4 | Well, this podcast has gotten a weirder by the hour. Just when you think Luke that you |
1:24.0 | figured it out, it just gets stranger. Everything from reptile creatures living underground |
1:30.8 | to UFOs flying overhead to the big guy on the woods. That's right. We've come a long |
1:38.2 | way in this podcast and sometimes we like to do a members only episode on some of the |
1:42.2 | weirder stuff that we find out there. We teased this a little bit on the Doctor Heiser episode. |
1:47.0 | We asked him about what do you think about the technology that comes with some of these |
1:50.7 | hauntings. It's strange. It's not just like a ghost comes out of the woods. It's an |
1:54.5 | actual ship or a train, you know, some sort of technology that seems to be behaving like |
2:02.5 | a spiritual being would behave. It reminds me of it's kind of like when you hear about |
2:07.4 | civil war battles going on and being reenacted, right? Or it's ghostly civil war battles. |
2:12.6 | Not like the reenactments where you're like your uncle and your cousins go and they dress |
