Uncanny Noises.
Glenreagh ‘ghost’.
‘Haunted’ hut near loco shed.
Glenreagh has a ghost similar to other places which we read of recently. The playgrouund of the spooky marauder is a small hut situated near the locomotive shed and sometimes occupied by loco men, who are away from home occasionally. Now, however, the place is never slept in, owing to the occupants hearing uncanny noises and knocking on the walls throughout the night.
This has been going on for the past 12 months, and the hut became so famous that it was deserted at night. Recently it was occupied by a young man who was away from his home depot and was ignorant of its history. Of course, no one put him wise, but just waited and speculated on the time he would remain there. He seemed all right after the first night, but the morning after the second night he was inquiring where he could borrow a gun. The third night did the trick, for the next morning he was seen lumping his dunnage away from the place.
It was learned that the ghost not only played its usual tricks, but enjoyed itself by snapping the door open after it had been fast with stout wire.
