The Catsburg Ghost Train

The story tells of a man killed while walking on the tracks late at night many years ago. Ever since, a mysterious light can be seen, like an oncoming train, appearing in the woods down the tracks from the old store. The sound of a train whistle and engine running can be heard when the ghostly light appears, but the light never moves. It just hangs in the air and then slowly fades away.

Some even say the man’s apparition will appear as a headless, shadowy figure, walking and searching for his head.

From what we understand, the store is no longer there.
