The Ghost Train Light of St. Louis, Saskatchewan
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 жов 2022
- There's many ghostly stories revolving around trains. Sometimes its a train that never made it to its final destination, or something fatal happened to someone on the railroad. The small Canadian village of St. Louis in Saskatchewan isn't known for much, except for a mysterious light that appears frequently at night. A bright white and sometimes red light shows up along the Canadian National Railway track bed. Only thing is, there hasn't been a train through St. Louis since 1983. So, what's the story behind these lights? What's the cause of them? Are there any explanations?

Apparently the people from that part of Saskatchewan host parties around the ghost light and also chase it on their ATVs 😂
If i had a dollar for every time a railroad worker got decapitated on the job and became a decently-famous ghost light…
My dad grew up near St. Louis in the town of Birch Hills. When he was a young adult, he, my aunt and aunt friend went to the location. They waited for a long time with no result. They were about to leave when my dad claims he saw a white light whiz past them. I hope to go to the area one day to see if I can see the lights.
I saw the ghost lights in St. Louis in the late 80s. The light was peculiar indeed and at one point split into three lights and spun around in a circle before retreating. If you tried to walk up to it, it would back away maintaining a static distance from you.
Nice video Jared!
Nice video Jared! Also there is possibly another ghost story relating to the Hinton train crash where (allegedly, according to someone online) if you went to the site of the Hinton train crash, you could see 2 ghost trains facing each other, standing still with shadowy figures inside both cabs and the coaches, and when the two trains disappear, you could hear the sound of the crash. Whether that story (and this story) is true or not is up to debate, but I find these supernatural stories fascinating.
A video about my neck of the woods! I’ve travelled through St Louis many times, especially back when visiting my grandmother in nearby Birch Hills.
How could a decapitated train conductor cause a ghost?
One of the biggest American ghost train stories has to be of the Lincoln funeral train. Said to pass through areas that the train traveled through also, with ghost soldiers guarding the casket and steam whisping where there is no steam locomotive
I'm from Prince Albert and we went down to St Louis years ago and yes we saw lights and no I don't think it was car headlights ... it felt eerie ... believe it or not true story
Automobiles and ghost trains is a combo I have personal experience with.
This reminds me of the old story about the Maco Light, about the ghost of a decapitated conductor searching for his lost head, using a lantern to light his way.
This is oddly similar to another legend I used to live very close to, called something along the lines of "The Summerville Light" but my memory of its name is hazy. Back a time ago a railroad man lost his head by the train at a station like this one. And at night it's rumored that you can see the light of his lantern on the site as he wanders in search of his head. It's said his body was recovered but his head was never found.
There’s a very similar story down here in the south on a section of railroad I work on. The story goes that sometime in the early 1900’s, a brakeman was ran over and decapitated by his own train one night. There’s a large field off to the side of the tracks. It is said that sometimes at night, you can see a faint flickering white light in the field, almost like a kerosene lantern that would’ve been used at the time. The difference here is, there’s no road at all. I’ve never seen it personally, but I’ve heard from several fellow conductors and engineers that have experienced it while sitting in the siding at night, and all accounts describe the same thing.
a perfect mix between two of my favorite hobbies
Great Halloween and spooky themed video!
Been waiting for someone to make a vid on this, right on
Have driven through st Louis lots on the way to and from the north. This story always scared the heck out of me as a kid, and it's the first and only thing I ever think of when sg Louis is mentioned
I have an idea for a ghost train story. It's an allegory. You decide what is and isn't fiction.
There is a similar story that took place in Chapel Hill Tn on what is now the CSX main line between Birmingham, Al and Nashville Tn.
