Medicine Hat Alberta - The story of the phantom train of Medicine Hat goes back to 1908.
 
The story goes that a train was about to collide with another one, when it suddenly vanished just before the crash.
 
Bob Twohey, the train engineer, believed it to be a premonition of his death, so he refused to drive the same train on the same route.
 
On 8 Jul 1908, J. Nicholson, a new engineer, took over the route and saw an incoming train on the exact same spot.
 
Except this time, it wasn't a ghost train, it was a passenger train driven by Bob Twohey.
 
Both engineers, Twohey and Nicholson, died on impact.
