Shadows in the Steam

The Haunted Railways of Britain

This fascinating volume takes a look at some of the strange and unexplained hauntings across Britain's railway network: signals and messages sent from empty boxes; tunnels that trains went into and never left; ghostly passengers and spectral crew; the wires whizzing to signal the arrival of trains on lines that have been closed for years.... The majority of these tales have never previously appeared in print and the collection includes a wide variety of mysterious happenings and inexplicable events related to the railways. Compiled by Alan Brooke and David Brandon, both experts on railways and the supernatural (having taught courses on both), this book will delight lovers of the railway and spooky tales alike.
