Somersets Haunted Railways Back in the age of steam, railways crisscrossed all over Somerset, with the Somerset and Dorset Line and the Great Western Railway Line. A lot of these have been preserved and turned into cycle paths or nature reserves. The Colliers Way - Radstock to Frome is said to have an eerie feel to it, especially at night. The Five Arches at Midsomer Norton is said to have the spirit of a man who has been seen by quite a few people. Also the Two Tunnels from Midford into Bath, with the Devonshire Tunnel, which is reputed to be haunted and a very compelling evp was captured there by local team - SOS Paranormal. Has anyone ever heard any ghostly tales of the bygone Steam Train era along any of these miles of tracks?

The Young Male Spirit at the Five Arches

Five Arches - Radstock/ Midsomer Norton History - This unusual viaduct is in Welton Hollow, west of Radstock which formerly carried the Somerset and Dorset Railway over the tracks of the Bristol and North Somerset Railway (later GWR) and a tramway. Now used for walkers and cyclists. There was a fatal motorbike accident there in 1957 on 5th October, where a young man tragically lost his life, but there was controversy over the inquest and the verdict remained open, as they were unsure who was riding the bike, him or his friend who survived. Hauntings - There are quite a few reports from locals of a man been seen in or around the arches, some say a miner, some say a younger man. Often around the beginning of October, could this be the residual spirit of the young man who suddenly lost his life in that spot 64 years ago..? SOS Paranormal investigated there recently, you can watch it on the link in the comments.. Photo - Bath in Time

The Vanishing Lady of Box Tunnel

Brunel's Box Tunnel - Box- Near Bath

History- The Box Tunnel is a railway tunnel dug through Box Hill and is a significant structure on the Great Western Main Line. Construction began in 1836, and the tunnel opened in 1841. At the time of its completion, it was the longest railway tunnel in existence at 1.83miles and it remains in daily use, 180 years later. Ammunition was stored near the tunnel during World War II, reusing mine workings. There was also a large human cost to its ambitious construction, with more than 100 deaths occurring during the project. There has also been some fatal accidents there and a mystery derailment in 1893 Legend has it that when it came to designing it, he used his cunning engineering skills to add a personal touch. Brunel is said to have aligned the tunnel so that the light would shine through at sunrise just once a year - on his birthday.

Hauntings - Eastern end - February 2011 Four men working in an ultrasonics gang all heard a female moaning at the mouth of the east exit. As the noise grew louder, they though it a joke, until one man shone his torch up the hill and the party spotted a woman in a nightdress looking down at them - she vanished before their eyes. When they reported the sighting, they were told that the figure had been seen previously by a group of six men. The sounds of a phantom train is also said to echo along the tracks in this tunnel.
