Ghost tracks : surprising stories of the supernatural on rails / Jay Underwood. by Underwood, Jay, 1958- Railfare DC Books, 2009. Call #: 133.122 U56g Subjects Ghost stories, Canadian.   Railroads -- Nova Scotia -- Folklore.   Railroads -- Canada -- Folklore. ISBN:  9781897190487 (hc.) 9781897190470 (pbk.) Description:  128 p. : ill., maps ; 23 cm. Notes:  "How death, disease, wrecks, bridge curses and even ghosts haunted Nova Scotia's railways". Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references and index. Summary:  Nova Scotia's Celtic heritage makes the province fertile ground for stories of 'ghoulies and ghosties, and long-leggedy beasties, and things that go bump in the night.' Railway historian Jay Underwood describes the often bizarre events that occurred to fuel the fears and suspicions of railway employees. These hard-bitten veterans of foul weather, hard work, and cold-hearted politics were not above believing in such things. Discover why railway men feared the number nine, and why the supernatural was often the only way to explain why accidents happened in a profession where safety is a priority.
