  1. An Old Ghost Story

    Share Share Post
    There is a railroad not far from our house, every night about eight o'clock a strange ball of light starts about a quarter of a mile from the railway bridge. It runs along the rails until it comes to the bridge, then in quenches there and starts again from where it started at first, and continues for about one hour.
