St. Louis ghost light
Along an abandoned rail grade near St. Louis, Saskatchewan, a light like a train's headlamp appears at night; legend says it is the lantern of a railwayman decapitated around 1920.
1920 CE · 52.92, -105.80 · status: disputed
The account
The tracks were abandoned in 1983 and lifted in 1988, yet the light is still reported. Canada Post put the ghost train on a stamp in 2014.
The sceptical view
In 2002 two high-school students reproduced it with car headlights on a distant road for a science fair; railway records do not confirm the death.
