Tales abound about ghosts spotted in tunnels, houses, churches, or in the woods. But the sighting of ghosts in Appalachia often involves the railroads that have been the lifeblood of this region.
This week on our YouTube channel, discover the tragic story of Jenny, a woman whose heartbreak led her to a fiery end on the railroad tracks near Harper’s Ferry. Engineers have since reported seeing her ghostly, flaming presence, a blazing fireball hurtling toward their trains on cold nights.
