84% Informative

People in Summerville , South Carolina have told stories of a ghost haunting abandoned railroad tracks since the 1950s .

Legend has it that a man working or traveling on the railroad was hit by a train and killed, and after her death, his wife began haunting the area - walking with a lantern.

Dr Susan Hough , a geophysicist at the Earthquake Hazards Program , believes a natural explanation may be the reason for the paranormal activity.

In 2023 , the scientist and a colleague 'discovered a kink in the tracks of the South Carolina Railroad' that indicated they could have been built along a fault line and the hauntings people claim to see are actually after-effects of minor earthquakes.
