Hello -I remember a headless railroad man. They used that to keep me off the railroad tracks and trestle at Blair I'll bet. Does anyone remember about ghosts of slaves appearing as lights over water?

I now remember both stories. Since we know that Logan County people do not lie <grin> wonder if your husband saw the relection of a flashlight when someone was walking the tracks at night? Just a thought, but I think it would be great if someone put all of those old stories and tidbits of folklore in a book, including who told them and to whom. I would be first in line for a copy (or right behind Rick and Shelby :>) > Dodie > > gloryee@sbcglobal.net wrote: > Sorry about this email, I had not finished reading all the emails in my in > box... you all are way ahead of me!!
