Clipped from the Scranton Times-Tribune: A trolley car at the Electric City Trolley Museum is said to be haunted. The car once belonged to a Philadelphia line, and the ghost is said to have been felt as a presence on the car, to have moved objects, and even to have been the source of unexplainable whispers. Legend has it that the ghost is a lonely woman passenger whose spirit is trapped in the car. The writer does not identify which Philly car has the ghost. Sloan |

Rails to the Dark Side? Isn't that what you do when you interchange cars with the NS? |

Oh, for the love of… I need to get my own “paranormal” show. I can go to all the abandoned RR locations I want to visit, go at night with a video camera with a night vision lens, stand in random spots, jerk around like someone is goosing me every few minutes, curse every other word and say things like, “can you feel that?” and people would eat it up. These people are worse than the “snake oil” salesmen of the olden days. When people talk of "haunted place, I have a one-word response that always shuts them up: Auschwitz. So what does that mean? Well, I dare you to look someone in the eyes who has suffered through any time at that horrible place and tell them you have talked with the ghosts of those who didn't make it out of there. I double dog dare you! In my lifetime, you'll likely not see anyone walking around there doing an "paranormal research" show for TV, because they'll get their guts stomped out by the living survivors or relatives of survivors once they start such foolishness. Yes, Gettysburg is big on ghosts these days, but there are hardly any people alive today who ever even talked with someone who had fought there. To me, if ghosts really were real and those "researchers" really believed it, they wouldn't see any problems with walking among the ruins of a concentration camp with their video cameras… |
