Iredell County Sheriff Phil Redmond says 29-year-old Christopher Kaiser of Charlotte and a former member of Paranormal Searchers; was killed about 2:45 a.m. Friday as he waited with friends at a railroad trestle. Redmond says witnesses said about 12 people were on the trestle hoping to see a ghost train when the real train rounded a bend.
Everyone but Kaiser was able to clear the tracks at the end of the trestle. The train struck Kaiser, who was thrown into a ravine.
The legend developed from a train wreck on Aug. 27, 1891, that killed about two dozen people and injured many others. Folklore Web sites claim the accident can be heard on each anniversary. Christopher Kaiser had resigned from Paranormal Searchers and had moved. He had stated it was "to put some distance between himself and Stuart House."
