[@altermike3197]

I like to believe these stories all have some truth to them in universe There is a ton of scrapped engines, the dead bodies of locomotives that met their end too soon; and why does Boulder have a face, and why did Sir Topham Hatt say "We should've left this part of the island... alone"

Well it's up to the viewers to decide on that. LOL but technically, in the Thomas universe, it could be real. I mean, we got talking trains so who knows?

What’s interesting about Rusty’s ghost engine, is that in the story scenes it’s Scharloy’s basis but when Duncan sees the lights it’s Rehenas’ basis. Could it be that Rusty was told that story and thought of the engine being one of Scharloy’s siblings and when Duncan sees the lights, he actually stumbled upon the ghost of Smudger?

[@andrewscolari5724]

I've had an idea for a ghost engine story: In the days of the Tidmouth Knapford and Elsbridge railway there were three coffeepots that worked the line. There was Glynn of course and the others were Glenda and Gregory. Gregory was the largest and strongest of the three and bosted about it. One night a large stone shipment needed to go to Knapford Harbor to be transported to Canada. Gregory to show off his strength took the whole lot by himself despite Glynn and Glenda telling him not to. On approaching the harbor, Gregory tried to set his breaks but the train was too heavy and Gregory wound up rolling into the sea. The weight and momentum of the train pushed Gregory far out into the ocean to the point it was impossible to rescue him and the stone shipment was lost. On the anniversary of the accident Gregory's ghost returns to reenact his last run

[@DaylightFan4449]

Duncan Gets Spooked has always been my favorite of the ghost train episodes in Thomas, because, unlike most of the other stories, we never get told that its made up or not, its left to the viewer to decide, not to mention the music used when the story of the engine is told and how the music for it ends with what sounds like an engine's whistle going by at speed, or maybe in this case, falling into the ravine

[@armorpro573]

I remember when Unlucky Tug reviewed it. Honestly, it's a spooky episode, but IMO Percy's Ghostly trick is by far the most haunting

I don’t know if they count since they are rolling stock rather than an engine, but there’s also the flatbeds of fear. And speaking of the CGI series, there is the phantom express, although we only hear the tail end of it story, so we don’t really know much about it beyond the fact, it’s probably made up.

[@fenrirslip]

For the longest time, I never noticed that the ghost engine in Scaredy Engines didn't have a tender. I don't know how I thought I saw the tender for all these years. Also, I love the re-scored version of the "Duncan Gets Spooked" theme (which is also my favorite Thomas episode ever) in Scaredy Engines. On top of that, the Halloween Engine used in Season 8's "Halloween" does make its presence known in the fan story, "Demons" by Carson's Video Workshop.

[@Engine9824]

I prefer to think of the Halloween engine as The Killdane Experiment from 22Tesla’s story of the same name.

[@Stussmeister]

Having grown up with the early seasons of Thomas & Friends (Seasons 1-5), I remember "Percy's Ghostly Trick/Ghost Train" scaring me so bad that it gave me nightmares and caused me to not watch the VHS it was on for months and months. What's sort of ironic, though, is that I now write ghost stories for children, and had an idea to write the rest of the story that Percy finishes with, "...And every year on the date of the accident, it runs again as a warning to others, plunging into the gap, shrieking like a lost soul...."

[@Ben-le2ws]

I was always fine with this episode, but there were 2 that gave me nightmares; "Duncan Gets Spooked" (still today I get paranoid after watching it), and the scariest episode of all, "Haunted Henry". To this day I refuse to watch it, due to how badly it scared me as a child (The music alone still creeps me out). And there were questions from that episode that were never answered. What was the noise Henry and his crew heard just after they saw the amber lamp that made the Driver ask "Who's there?"? Why was there a fogman's coat in a tree? Why was there a light inside the abandoned station? Why/how did those crossing gates "mysteriously close by themselves", as stated in the episode, same with that signal turning red on its own? Who was that "mysterious figure" who watched Henry go by? Remember, the episode never actually confirmed that it was Old Bailey

0:40 "It was the time of the Diamond Jubilee, 43 year ago, on this very night. In them days, the stationmaster was a man by the name of "Ted Holmes". He was asking about the old line that runs on the other side("You mean the one that don't go nowhere?"). Aye, but in them days, the trains used to run on it, through yonder short tunnel down to the old port. The other side of the tunnel, the line bridges the river. It be a swing bridge, blocked by a lever wheel out there on the platform. This were the bridge. In '97, it was always left open for the Claire boats to go out on the tide, and they closed it when the trains went across, but no train ever runs over that bridge now, and it bent been closed for 43 years. On the day I be tellin' ya about, a party of some plants folk went to a bean feast up at Truro, and they chartered a special to take them home, late that night. "Ben Issacs" were the driver of that special, but Ted Holmes was kept on late duty and had to close the bridge. He was a sick man, but no one knew it at the time when they phoned through here from Truro, wanting Ted to close it, as the special were starting off. Ted answers as he's goin' to shut the bridge that moment, but them were the last words he was ever to speak. It was striking 11:00 when he lit his lamp and went out on the platform. He reached the bridge wheel and as he tried to turn it, then the illness come on him. Poor chap, something must've told him it was all up with him, but he gathered up his strength and struggled back towards the waiting room. His one thought was to get to that phone and stop the train from comin', but he never reached it. He falls down there, dead, with his lamp still burning in his hand. The special was dead on time, the signals were with it, and it were a-comin' along fast with the bridge wide open and Ted Holmes lying there, dead. It did seem as though, when they were just about the station, something warned Ben Issacs of danger, for he claps on his brakes and the train went a-tearin' through the station, here, with all the brakes on and the whistle screamin', but no use. The train goes a-thunderin' through the tunnel, straight through the open bridge, and into the river, CRASH! Some nights, the signal bell rings and a train comes screamin' and a-tearin' through the station with its whistle blowin'. Whatever it is, it never starts from Truro and it never runs into St. Lannes. If it be a natural thing, where do it come from, where do it go? They do say, as to look on the ghost train, to mean "death". You can stop here, if you like, but not me. I've got a wife an children looking to me("Do you mean you're afraid?'). Afraid, I am afraid. I bear the shame to own it("Well, we're not!"). Very well, seeing you've made up your mind to it, but if ye do hear a train, for God's sake, don't ye go out runnin' to look at it."

Here is the TRUE story of Timothy! It all happened in the year 1915, on October 31st, at mid-night. Timothy was pulling a late-night passenger train. Timothy was waiting at the station when his driver and fireman went into the station to use the loo. Timothy waited and waited when all of a sudden, a strange thin man with a thin black hat and a twirly mustache climbed aboard timothy's cab. Timothy: Oh driver, there you are. Are we ready to go? Stranger: ...Sure thing. When Timothy's crew came out from the station, they saw timothy and the coaches left the station! Timothy can see the station. Timothy: Driver, we're coming up to the station. Timothy was about to stop, but he couldn't! Timothy was out of control! Timothy: DRIVER, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! APPLY THE BREAKS NOW! But the strange man didn't apply the brakes, he made Timothy go faster and faster! Timothy was heading to the unfinished viaduct! Stranger: NYAHAHAHAHAHA! YOU'RE PASSENGERS ARE GOING TO END UP IN THE GRAVE, ALONG WITH YOU! NYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! TIMOTHY: WHAT?! They were getting closer and closer! Stranger: THIS IS IT! PREPARE TO MEET YOU'RE DOOM! Timothy: I don't think so. Stranger: what? Then Timothy shook the coaches so hard that they were all uncoupled from him. The coaches stopped! Stranger: NO! timothy: YES! STRANGER: I think this where you get off. Then the stranger jumped out of timothy's cab. Timothy plunged into the ravine. Timothy: AAAAAAAAAAHHH! (:CRASH!:) THE PASSENGERS WE'RE ALL SAVED! Stranger: CURSES! The next day: Timothy was hauled out of the ravine, unfortunately, Timothy was beyond repaired. The workmen tried to fix him up, but they couldn't. before Timothy was sold for scrap, the passengers who he saved came to say their goodbye's and thank you's to him. As for the stranger who tried to harm Timothy and the passengers, was arrested. And that is the TRUE story of timothy!
