Ghost stories by the tracks
Storyteller Jeff Hurley delighted and spooked some chilly children and partially paranoid parents Saturday just after it had gotten dark for the day.
The campfire ghost stories were shared at Iron Horse Square park in Mineola, sponsored by Kappa Gamma Teacher Society.
Hurley first told those gathered of his Irish lineage and how he came to posses gift of gab via the swapping of the famous Blarney stone by his ancestors.
He told the tale of Joe Barton, the train ghost whose lantern engineers know not to stop for; he spoke of an old woman named Jenny who burns eternally on the railroad tracks; and in the middle of telling a story about a couple getting stuck on the tracks, only to be pushed across by supposed ghost children, a cargo train rumbled by Iron Horse Square Saturday evening.
