The
Railroad Ghost
I
saw
a ghost in 1998 when I was working a graveyard security job over summer
vacation ( I am a teacher, and I work these temp jobs sometimes during
summer vacations )
I was making my rounds out at the Hunts cannery at
about 1:30 am. It was a dark calm night in late July. My rounds took me
way out along the perimeter of a huge parking lot, and I had to cross a
railroad track to check out the pumping station. I was returning from
the pump station and I was about to cross back over the tracks when I
heard a woman's voice to my right . The voice was coming from up the
tracks, and I looked in this direction. Suddenly I saw a woman wearing
a long white dress coming towards me, skipping from one rail tie to the next barefooted. She had shoulder lenght blonde hair, slim, very attractive. She was counting each rail in the
track as she moved closer to me. She seemed very happy with a big smile
on her face. As she came nearer to me (about 15
feet away) she
looked up and giggled. Then she said " Oh, no, I lost count!"
then she looked back down , and began to count rails again . I saw her
skipping down the tracks in the opposite direction from which she had
come, once again counting " 1, 2, 3," . When she got to
about 16, her form began to fade, and when she was a little
further, all I could make out was a sort of mist that looked to be
luminescent. This glowing mist just hung there for about 5 minutes. I
stared in disbelief at this glowing mist. Suddenly, I began to realize
that I had seen a ghost.
I went over to the platform above the tracks
to get a better view of the glowing mist. It began to fade away, and I
needed to get back on my rounds because I was on a tracking system
where I had to be in certain zones at a certain time interval. But the
strange thing is, I was not terrified during this entire incident. And
when I did finally realize that I had seen a ghost, I was more curious
than afraid.
