๐Ÿš‚๐Ÿ‘ป **The Ghost Train of Summer Camp โ€” Can You Hear It?**

Some say the train never really leftโ€ฆ

During Barefoot Bushcraft summer camp in July 2026, Wilkoล‚aak shares a chilling tale from the 1970s, when an active railway ran beside a boys' summer camp.

Despite repeated warnings to stay away from the railway tracks, some boys continued playing on them. According to local legend, several lost their lives to passing trains.

Today, the railway is abandoned. The trains are gone, the tracks have fallen silent, and nature has begun reclaiming the surrounding landscape. ๐ŸŒฒ

But some stories refuse to fade away.

On certain quiet nights, campers claim they can still hear the distant whistle of a locomotive echoing through the treesโ€ฆ

๐Ÿš‚ **Can you hear it?** ๐Ÿ‘ป

Perhaps it's just the wind. Or perhaps the past isn't quite as silent as we think.

Transcript
00:00Hey, this is Wolf from Barefoot Bushcraft, and we're here at the train tracks.
00:03It goes near the end of Turner Road here in Thorold, Ontario, where we run our summer camp.
00:08And campers cross this road all the time, and this is the area of the ghost train.
00:13Some campers tell us they actually hear the trains come back and forth.
00:18So in the 1970s, there was a camp for boys not that far from here, just on the other side
00:24of the tracks.
00:24And unfortunately, what happened is the young people who were in there, the young boys, they didn't listen.
00:30And they were like, oh, we're going to go play on the tracks.
00:33Don't play on the tracks.
00:33They played on the tracks, and a couple of the campers at that time, so again, this is 50-some
00:39-odd years ago,
00:39they got ridden over by the train.
00:41So sometimes at night, even though these tracks are definitely defunct, there's no train on these tracks.
00:46You can see it.
00:48Sometimes you hear the train echoing through the night.
