The Ghost Train of Larissa Station

Larissa Station in Athens, built in 1904 on the site of a military barracks, is said to be visited by a phantom train on Track 7 in the early hours of October 18th — the anniversary of a 1944 disaster in which a German military train loaded with ammunition exploded near the station during the Nazi retreat, killing 87 Greek civilians.

The ghost train is described as a black steam locomotive with no markings, pulling empty grey carriages. It sits at the platform for exactly 11 minutes then slowly rolls back into darkness and disappears. Three station employees who attempted to board the train during the 1980s were found unconscious on the platform with no memory of events after approaching the locomotive.
