I once bought a new house in New Mexico, I was the first owner and I would regularly hear footsteps down the hallway upstairs when no one was up there.
Living somewhere like that is a different story. I am not a non-believer but the ghost don't seem to be around when I am. I would like to experience something but to date, it has not happened.
Not sure I would want to ride the train through that area with loose tracks!
The train always slow down when going through Crewe. The UK is not famous for it's decent rail system. It just has to rain and it all closes down.
I wasn't a believer in the paranormal either until I lived there!
