Train hits deer; man in camo shows up to

butcher it

"I worked on the signaling for the light rail system in Pittsburgh. We would do all of our testing late at
night, after revenue hours. Lots of wildlife around the tracks. As we were moving along at about 50 mph,

a whitetail deer jumps out onto the tracks, and we clobber the poor thing. The engineer doesn't hesitate,
gets on the radio, and tells central control to call Hannibal Lecter, and gives the milepost. I look at him
sideways, but he doesn't explain. We continue our run into the city, turnaround, and head back out the
same way. As we come up on the site where we hit the deer there is a guy in fullcamou ageon the side
of the railroad, butchering the carcass, with a big pile of steaming deer guts next to the track (did I
mention it was about 15 degrees F and snowing)? Engineer gives a toot on the horn and we continue
with our run..."

Dog's head mounted on cruci x pops up next to

isolated tracks

"Creepiest thing I ever saw was in West Philly. Someone cut a pitbull's head off and stuck it on sticks in
the shape of a cross beside the track. They stuffed fruit and owers in the body where the head was and
spread owers around it. There was an unlit candle at the base of the cross. Looked like some f*cked up
voodoo sh*t."

"Conductor here. One time in the middle of the night in the middle of winter (10 degrees and a foot of
snow on the ground) my train went into emergency. I had to walk the length of the train to see what the
problem was.The train was right in the middle of a very small town. As I'm walking by one of the houses
on the outskirts of this town, I see a guy standing in the driveway about 50 feet from me, wearing a
trench coat and a sock hat type thing. The rst thing that struck me as odd is that it was way too cold to
be wearing just a trench coat. I shine my lantern on the guy, wave, and say 'Hi.' Nothing. The guy doesn't
even move.

I continue walking past the guy to the end the train while looking back very often. I get to the end, turn
around and head back. I get back to the house where this guy is standing and he is still there in the same
place in the same position. I don't even say anything this time. I just speed walk back to the head of the
train. The next day I'm taking a train back home during the day. I'm paying special attention to this house
as we go by it. There is nothing there. The drive isn't shoveled. Nothing is there that could have been
mistaken for a guy in a trench coat. I have since been by this house dozens of times and I have never
seen a car parked there, or a light on or anything at all."

This is as creepy, and more explosive

Woman jumps infront of train, recovered body

looks like a different person

"I am a freight conductor. We hit a young lady walking between the two main tracks at like ve in the
morning. That sucks- and dead bodies are creepy on their own, but the craziest part was that I thought
we hit two different people. The woman that I saw was white, heavy set, and in her late 40s she was
walking toward the train leaning out in front of us. When myself and the brakeman walked back to nd
the woman, what we found did not match what I had seen. She did not go under the train, so she was
mostly in one piece. We found a Latina woman who was very thin. I later found out she was in her early
20s. Now I thought I was crazy, but the brakeman started asking me if we had hit two people, and
described the woman in her 40s the same as I had seen her. Needless to say we only hit one person. He

and I were convinced that this young girl was possessed by some evil entity. The face I saw before we hit
her still pops into my mind occasionally it was evil, twisted and full of pain."

Strung out junkie masturbates on tracks, nearly

gets run over

"I work in Houston as an engineer, and we usually putt around town between 10-20 mph. Slow enough for
a naked crack head to jump out of a bush by a city park and start pleasuring herself in front of the engine.
I guess she really likes trains."

Man sees ghost of crash victim walking away

from the derailment

"My dad, who is a no nonsense man, came home one night after a derailment and was white as a sheet.
He told my mom he met a man walking away from the derailment, which was in the middle of the woods.
He didn't think it was too weird, because some people check out wrecks and derailments. Anyway, my
dad gets to the derailment. The cause of the derailment was a truck had been hit, and then pushed by the
engine. Now, none of this is weird until my dad sees the deceased man in the truck... it looked like a beat
up version of the man he saw on the way to the derailment."

Train comes in for repairs covered in red mush

"I was working at a BNSF railway in Stockton, CA maintaining the cranes that pull cars off the tracks
when a freight engine rolled in with the front end a little caved in, covered in red.

The entire front end was covered in what appeared to be red bloody chunks a paste leftover from rolling
through maybe a herd of cattle, or a hoard of zombies... I didn't know what to think. I felt my stomach
churn, and my coworker turned green and heaved a bit.

I asked the foreman what happened, he told me some teenager jumped out in front of it. Later, I grew a
pair and walked up to it as these folks were cleaning it without any signs of being affected by the sight.
Turns out the train hit a stalled berglass trailer lled with tomatoes that was headed to the Hunts
cannery in Oakdale."

"Ahobo was found dead in a hooper car (the kind that are open and typically hold grain). They gured,
since it was the summer, he wanted more air circulation, and hopped in that one. Well, the car was lled
and no one really looks in it while doing so. The body wasn't discovered until the car was unloaded."
