'ghost train’ hunter killed by real thing!
Life can be a real bitch sometimes.. I wonder how he feels now, riding that train up there in heaven.....
A man searching for a legendary “ghost train” was killed when a real locomotive came down the tracks and hit him.
Christopher Kaiser, 29, had gathered with around 12 others on the anniversary of a crash that happened near Statesville, North Carolina at 3am on Aug 27, 1891.
The crash 119 years ago saw seven carriages fall off a rail bridge into a ravine and 30 people died.
According to local legend the sounds of the accident, including the whistle of the train and the screams of passengers, can be heard again on the anniversary and each year people go to listen. On the centenary of the crash in 1991 more than 150 people turned up.
Mr Kaiser was waiting on a trestle at 2.45am when the real train, which consisted of three locomotives, came round a bend.
The ghost hunters began running back along the trestle and most of them made it the 150ft to safety. However, Mr Kaiser didn't make it :O(
