All aboard — if you dare! Newfie Bullet train transformed into haunting experience

Do you like to be scared? How about with a little history thrown in? Well, I'm in the dining car aboard the Newfie Bullet in Corner Brook, where the members of the Graham Academy have transformed this into the ghost train, offering haunted experiences. Engine 666, straight out of the Foggy Barrens and now here at Humbermouth Station. The fog came up off the gulf thick enough to carve with a sheath knife An old six-six-six hit that stretch with the whistle-streaming, full of mail, miners, young sweethearts, sleeping children, even the recently departed in the baggage car. A long time ago, back in the 40s, disappeared, basically. And now it's finally reappeared in the 21st century. And there are ghosts trapped on the train, basically, who kind of disappeared with this train. And now the people coming through have to go through their kind of domain and see what's happening and what the ghosts are up to, really. So you get to walk down along the outside of the train and there may be some ghouls and ghosts that are attempting to reach you, but once you board, then you're well within reach. And it'll guide all the way through to actually this baggage car is the finale of the show, of the experience. Historically, bodies actually were transported in here, so it is a space that there, you know, it was not unheard of that there were corpses that were brought across in this very car so it's a bit eerie so i'm just kind of in a little chair hiding away spooking people that don't even know i'm there it's completely pitch black at all and then as you kind of walk through we have the light set up so the chair actually lights up nothing else around it and we're gonna have like a little speaker or something just kind of saying like what the ghosts are saying and saying like they're sitting in this chair and it'll be real cute so we'll have some different people interacting with everyone throughout the train as you go so it should kind of give more of an eerie spooky creepy vibe as you go through the train more of just like jump scares i hurry i go pretty fast when i'm locking up this train uh the staff do say that the the dining car chairs tend to move so that car tends to have its own you know but i think that makes sense people lived the life on this railway so i hope if there are uh spirits around that they enjoy what we're doing with this fictional story if you dare the ghost train the haunted train experience is available to the public on thursday and friday evening with a sensory friendly time on saturday Colleen Connor's CBC News Corner Brook
