- ST. LOUIS SASKATCHEWAN -
For more than 80 years, the town of St. Louis, Sask. has been home to
a famous ghost story. It's proving to be more than just a good
tale.
-
- One night in the 1920s, a CNR engineer was checking the
tracks near St. Louis when he got hit by a train and lost his head.

Light
-
- Now, at night a light from a phantom train or lantern
appears.
-
- "He was looking for his head," said witness
Simone Gareau. "That's why we see the light with the
lantern."
-
- Many residents report seeing a light. A CBC camera caught
it on tape one night.
-
- The tape isn't proof of the tale and the CNR doesn't
have records that go far enough back to confirm or refute the
story.
-
- Some people in St. Louis have done their experiments.
Sceptic Franceline Doderai believes the lights are just headlights from
the highway.

Look

- "We took our binoculars and went like this and
adjusted
them a little bit and could clearly see highway number two through the
binoculars," Doderai said.
-
- Not everyone in town buys the headlight theory. Mayor
Emile Lussier points out the highway can't even be seen from the
ghost-spotting
sight.
-
- Lussier said a scientist came to the site but couldn't
figure it out. "We noticed there was a light behind us and when we
turned around and looked, the light was right down and appeared right
at our heels," said Lussier.
-
- Other people in town say it's unexplainable. One invited
visitors to come to St. Louis to come see for themselves just don't come
alone.
