00:00number five the ghost train the ghost train is one of the most famous haunting stories in all of england it's a tale that has been told and retold for years and this story seems to have some proof there are strange sounds heard echoing through the night footsteps screams and even music
00:22these noises can be traced back to an old railway line this line was used by trains from eighteen sixty three up until it closed in nineteen sixty four
00:33that is when the haunting began people reported hearing the sound of steam engines chugging along the tracks late at night some people have even said they've seen the phantom train puffing its way down the line
00:47many believes the ghost train is the result of an accident that happened back in nineteen seventeen a passenger train collided with a military train dozens of soldiers were killed instantly their bodies were never recovered maybe their spirits are still stuck there forever searching for a way to escape in twenty ten someone decided to investigate
01:12adrian palmer invested thousands of dollars into scanning the railway line with ghost hunting technology he wanted to find out if there was any truth behind the legend and according to his research
01:23there may very well be using ground penetrating radar adrian found something buried underneath the tracks
01:31it was later discovered that whatever was buried there was perfectly round just like a train engine further investigations were carried out using magnetic and gravitational equipment
01:44it was found that this mysterious object was made of iron and since trains are generally made of iron this could mean one thing adrian believes he may have just discovered the remains of a ghost train
01:57some believe that these spectral engines can be heard anywhere between newcastle and more but apparently the best place to hear them is at a place called the wandsbeck tunnel it's about two and eight two miles long and it goes through a hill
02:14if you want to hear the ghost train for yourself then you need to visit between midnight and four a.m according to those who have heard it before the ghost train sounds exactly like an old steam engine when it gets closer the sounds get louder then just as suddenly as it starts it stops
02:34number four the ghost ship deep in the louisiana swamps is a house that has a tragic history known simply as the ghost ship
02:44it's believed to be one of the most haunted places in america back in nineteen o four this home belonged to a wealthy family they were so rich that they built their own private dock where they could moor their boat
02:57but that's not why it got its name on february twenty second nineteen eighteen a hurricane hit new orleans it was the worst in the city's history many people lost their lives homes were destroyed and businesses were torn to the ground
03:14the storm surge caused the river to overflow it basically became a lake the people living in the houses near the river had nowhere to go they built makeshift shelters but the water kept rising soon these shelters were completely under water
03:32the residents were forced to abandon their homes and flee for higher ground one of these people was the family who lived in the ghost ship they fled to higher ground leaving their boat in the water
03:44but once the hurricane had passed they returned to find their boat missing it was sucked under the water and destroyed to this day nobody knows what happened to it
03:54people say that the spirits of those trapped inside the sunken ship are still wandering around the area and some people have even claimed that they've seen the ghost ship itself floating through the swamps
04:05at first people thought it was just a legend but then pictures started showing up online there are photos of a ghostly looking vessel floating through the swamp in other images dark figures can be seen rowing the boat while the origin of the ghost ship is unclear the legend is definitely real
04:25no
04:35it's an isolated stretch of water surrounded by trees and creepy this is not a place you want to swim in especially at night back in 1965 a group of friends went canoeing on this lake they were having a great time until their canoes capsized all five teenagers drowned since then many strange things have happened here people have seen ghosts walking along the shore they've also seen ghostly figures in the water
05:04is this really the spirits of the lost canoeists well that's what people believe if you visit the ghost river at night you might hear their disembodied voices calling out for help according to local legends anyone who hears these voices will be doomed
05:22that's because whoever witnesses them will die within seven days one man decided to test this theory he stayed by the river all night he listened intently to the noises around him he didn't hear anything so he left without a second thought but the next day he died in a car accident he was only twenty two years old
05:42perhaps the spirits of the ghost river only reveal themselves to those who are brave enough to spend the night alone number two the ghostly horseman have you ever seen a headless horseman riding through the forest
05:55well a guy named jason martin claims he did he took a picture of this paranormal being it looks like a night from the middle ages but this photo was taken in the modern day jason snapped this picture while he was riding his motorbike through the woods in west virginia
06:13when he developed the film he was shocked by what he saw was it a ghost or just a figment of his imagination well others have witnessed similar sights
06:24for hundreds of years people have reported seeing a shadowy figure riding a horse nobody knows who they are or why they're haunting the forest
06:36but according to legend they won't stop until they've beheaded everyone in the village one theory suggests that this ghostly figure is the spirit of a knight who was beheaded during the civil war
06:48others say it's the spirit of a sheriff who massacred dozens of native americans whatever the case this terrifying spectre is not messing around
06:59number one the ghost town many people report witnessing ghosts in the most unexpected places and one of these places is an abandoned town in california the town was established in the eighteen fifties it was full of life until one day everything changed
07:17overnight the entire town was evacuated to this day nobody knows what now it's a spooky ghost town filled with dilapidated buildings and crumbling houses
07:28some say the town is haunted by the spirits of those who lived there all those years ago if you walk around you can feel their presence everywhere strange things have been witnessed here lights have turned on by themselves footsteps have been heard echoing through the streets
07:46and some people have even seen full-bodied apparitions there are also cemeteries all around the town some are above ground and others are underground
