Almost every town in the state has an old urban legend of at least one old house, cemetery, or section of woods said to be haunted. The more I have researched haunted locations around the country, I must add another one of these areas; railroads. It seems that every state has several of these “haunted train tracks”. The regular tale is of either an old man with a lantern who died here or victims of a train accident who haunt the area.
Such is the case in the small town of Forbing. As you proceed on east on Flournoy Lucas Road, you will pass over a small set of tracks, known as the haunted Forbing Railroad Tracks. The hauntings behind these haunted railways originate from a man who was reportedly beheaded on these tracks. Apparitions of a headless man, holding a lantern, have been seen wandering the rails.
