In my town of origin, there was a train track running deep below my neighborhood....so at night I'd be awoken with the creepy sound of the infamous "Midnight Express." Anway, legend has it that a porter was killed in a crash more than a century before I was born. The porter was in the back of the train, so he didn't know they were plunging toward doom. Upon imact the porter was decapitated. It's said that his head flew up and was snagged on one of those old timey train post light thingies. Rumor has it that on certain nights you can see his head swinging back and forth.

Now there are stories like this or kinda like this all over NC. The most famous is in Wilmington. However, since we're going with the obscure, I thought I'd give a town legend.

I'm interested to see what other people remember.:)
