10 Spooky Phantom Vehicle Tales From Around The World

10. Lincoln's Funeral Train

Abraham Lincoln’s remains traveled around the US by funeral train after he was assassinated in 1865. The journey started on 21 April 1865 and culminated in Lincoln’s burial on 4 May. The train was named The Lincoln Special and displayed a portrait of the slain president on the outside.

Legend has it that the funeral train still travels along the route it took all those years ago. Reports from several witnesses say they saw Lincoln’s coffin in the middle of the train surrounded by skeletons in blue coats. It is also said that wherever the train goes, it causes the sky to become dark as clouds move over the moon and there is an instant chill in the air.

Some have even claimed that whenever the phantom train passes by, six minutes of time is lost.
