Rails of Death, New Albany

The gruesome origin of the Rails of Death begins on Halloween night, 1952, when a passenger train traveling from New York to Los Angeles derailed, killing everyone on board. After the accident, rumors began to spread through New Albany that a mass murderer was among the deceased passengers—and that his spirit still haunted the tracks, a demon thirsty for blood and travel-size bags of pretzels. Every year during the Halloween season, the site's undead souls awaken, frightening visitors as the grounds shake beneath the wheels of a rumbling train.
