Where from?A ghost train surely wouldn't produce steam.
I have what I think is the reason for the rails humming and the odd breeze. Could it be air turbulence in the Macc tunnel (about 300 yards from the station) that caused the noise?
I posted this in a similar topic on another forumOne time I was in the centre of Macclesfield when I heard a chime whistle; once, twice, three times. Me and my two friends (both rail people) heard it and rushed down to the station to see the train. Nothing. We asked some station staff if a streamliner on a special diverted came through, the staff said no. Later that day, about 6:00 at night (September time so it was dark) the whistle was heard again. I live half a mile away from the station and it was clearly heard. This continued at 4:00 and at 6:00 daily for a week. Later in the year in august, I was standing at Macc station with my class from school (11 of us) when I heard the rails 'whine' as if a 390 or a 323 was approaching. Nothing came but as the whine became louder and then a sudden wind and then the wining dissipated slowly. It felt like an invisible, silent train had gone through the platform. I asked a girl behind me if she had heard it, she hadn't. My friend next to me, he hadn't. I was the only one in my set to hear it and the only one in my set who's familiar with railways.Later on a 390 going to London I google'd Macc station ghost. No results. Macc station accident. 1 relevant result. in autumn 1952 a man was in the four-foot when an A4 let out three whistles. As the man jumped into the six-foot, his leg got run over by the train (Huskisson?) and the resultant blood loss killed him within the hour. Was this the ghost of the A4 that killed this man? Are only people who are familiar with railways able to see this ghost?
