A confused Conductor peering puzzlingly out the window into dead space with eyes as black as coal!\u00a0 The passenger cars can be seen loaded with frightened children sitting near the front, and apathetic ones near the back with blank stares.\u00a0 All sporting undead pale faces, and dark circles under their soulless eyes.\u00a0 Some have even viewed this surreal spectacle inside their own homes as the train follows its old railway line even through trees, and buildings acting as an apparition of unholy origin.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Book Antiqua;\"> Local legend has it that this horrifying haunted Halloween express is, in fact, the mysterious missing train of 1877 known as Locomotive 13.\u00a0 The Engineer, the Conductor, and his 11-year-old son set out on the trains first nocturnal test run at Midnight on <a href=\"http:\/\/mysticinvestigations.com\/halloween-blog\/halloween-legend\/\">Halloween<\/a>.\u00a0 As the sainted sun rose that morning they never returned, and not a trace of the train was ever located.\u00a0 However, beginning the next Halloween the lost locomotive would be seen inexplicably riding the rails. Locals attempting to jump on the train ended up falling through it to the ground, or the entire enchanted express simply disappeared before their very eyes. Unfortunately, one child under the age of 12 would disappear every year.\u00a0 Often lured away from trick o treating, or from their safe beds into the dangerous forest.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Book Antiqua;\">One horrifying account in 1904 is detailed in a Father&#8217;s journal as he witnessed the horror of his <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B013R4FZQY\/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B013R4FZQY&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=mystic-investigations-20&amp;linkId=YLZPIC7EBJWWJEGS\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?_encoding=UTF8&amp;ASIN=B013R4FZQY&amp;Format=_SL250_&amp;ID=AsinImage&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;WS=1&amp;tag=mystic-investigations-20\" alt=\"\" width=\"228\" height=\"217\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><span style=\"font-family: Book Antiqua;\">son climbing aboard the stopped spectral locomotive.

Who knows what living Hell this train, and its passenger&#8217;s go through 364 days of the year before returning on Halloween.\u00a0 Since the portal itself is probably invisible and appears only briefly, we have yet to locate it despite its annual clockwork schedule.\u00a0 The train is clearly out of phase with reality until a child touches it. This <\/span><span style=\"font-family: Book Antiqua;\">indicates that their magical innocence, and probably its link to the <a href=\"http:\/\/mysticinvestigations.com\/halloween-blog\/halloween-spirit\/\">Spirit Of Halloween<\/a>, play som<\/span><span style=\"font-family: Book Antiqua;\">e role in the trains reappearance. At the first embers of dawn when it re-enters the portal to parts unknown.\u00a0 Perhaps it&#8217;s the Spirit that&#8217;s pulling it back from total disappearance into damnation? There&#8217;s also the possibility the portal is some kind of paranormal trap set by a non-physical entity of a malevolent nature who feeds off the children&#8217;s ageless <a href=\"http:\/\/mysticinvestigations.com\/paranormal\/metaphysical-astral-energy\/\">astral energy<\/a>.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Book Antiqua;\">Theoretically, it&#8217;s possible to re-phase the lost locomotive back into our reality with everyone biologically intact.\u00a0 However, it&#8217;s unknown what the mental, and emotional state of these lost souls would be.\u00a0 Certainly, it seems the Engineer is possessed by some dark force.

It might be a slightly better fate since Slender keeps children in an eternal sleep of pleasant dreams while feeding off their unique energy. He was able to board the train after several attempts. Almost as if he was modulating his teleportation frequency. However, once on board the Conductor blasted him with an eerie violet flash of light that sent him careening a mile away causing trees to fall in his wake! Psychics witnessed this and also sensed the train is a conduit to the <a href=\"http:\/\/mysticinvestigations.com\/paranormal\/underworld\/\">Underworld<\/a> where Dark Gods are sucking energy from the kid&#8217;s souls!
