A Ghost town with a Ghost train
It had been a very long time since any train had been on this railroad. A very long time. The last train that came here was a hundred years ago, when there was still people living in this town. But now, there was not a soul in sight. This was a Ghost town. Reports have said that many travelers have been scared by this mysterious town. Sightings of ghosts had been seen here before.

Were there ghosts? All this was enough for Noah, as he ran back to the door and tried to open it. He couldn’t. The door wouldn’t budge. Suddenly, he felt a cold presence...
