A real life "Ghost" Train

[martinb]

Now then I think some people may already know about this but I've done a search & I didn't find anything.

 

But Blackpool Pleasure Beach has the Most Haunted Ghost Train in the world, its home to 3 ghosts that are still heard of and seen to this day:

 

Ghost No.1: "Cloggy", used to work on the ride befor he died over 20 years ago, nicknamed "Cloggy" becasue he used to wear cloggs all the time, he loved working on the ride, thats why he's still there to this very day. Many many people over the years have claimed that they have been touched by someone whilst on the ride and apparantly its him, he likes to scare people by giving thema push on the shoulder or on the back of the head.

 

Ghost No 2. Now I can't remember the name of him but he desgined the Pretzel Ride, which is what the Ghost Train used to be before 1936, apparantly he's very unhappy at whats happened to what he called "his masterpiece" Pretzel Ride.

 

Ghost No 3.Now I can't remember the name of him either but this ghost designed the Ghost Train in 1936 & is a big enemy of Ghost 2 for obvoius reasons, these 2 ghosts aren't seen that often, they are just heard alot as they make lots of noise as they argue loads but they don't interfere with the public unlike Cloggy.

 

I've been on this Ghost Train loads, its not scary at all but I've never knew about this untill the other day, I believe in ghosts so when I next go to Blackpool its going to be quite weird going back on it, and honestly I think I will be quite scared, being in dark tunnels with skeletons and devils everywhere, knowing that theres upto 3 dead people in my company! Apparantly they are most active at night time, just before closing.

 

I swear down on my life that I have not made any of this up, honestly this is all completely true.

 

Obviously if you don't believe in ghosts you wont be bothered but if you do it might make you next ride on the Ghost Train an interesting one.

 

Good luck to the UK trip

It's quite funny that you brought this up as I saw the "Most Haunted" episode of BPB last night and they were trying to get in contact with "cloggy" and the rest. There's quite a few other places within the park that are haunted too like the Maxims shop for example.

 

Anyway I think that there's a little more on a thread somewhere on these boards about parks and ghosts. I think Musical Pete added a bit to the story you have brought up.

 

EDIT: Here's the thread. Scroll down near the bottom for BPB.
