Also, two soldiers were seen in the video footage but when the guards reached there, they obviously disappeared.

Situated in the West Bengal state of India, Begunkodor is a small village 161 miles away from the state capital – Calcutta.

It is assumed that a lady in a white sari who got run over by a train at this platform is seen dancing and wandering around the platform and railway track.
It is also said that the worker who witnessed this lady died shortly after the incident. But it was reopened in 2009 and after that, there have been no official reports of such incidents. But according to locals, they still feel hesitant to hover around this area.

There is also a door that opens and closes by itself with no reason and is considered to be done by Fred only.
6. Bishan MRT Station – Singapore

Also, maintenance workers have reported headless figures, and coffin bearers walking the rail. Also, passengers have heard footsteps on the roof of moving trains.
5. Kymlinge Metro Station – Stockholm
In the 1970s, a metro line was planned to continue out to Kymlinge but due to some reasons it was not completed and the authorities abandoned the plan for the continuation of the metro line. It is assumed that it was due to some supernatural activities and reports. There is a famous saying about this station – “Bara de doda stiger av i Kymlinge”, which means “ only the dead get off at Kymlinge”. Although it was reopened in 1976 due to the image of a ghost station, it still faces some problems in operation.
4. Addiscombe Railway Station – England
Before its demolition for the new tramline track, the surrounding area at Addiscombe station was plagued by ghosts and haunting figures. It is believed that the ghost of a driver who was killed on this railway line is seen walking among the sheds; specifically around Siding no. 4 where a water boiler exploded in the past.
It is also noticed that the area around this spoiler is colder than other places around. And we know that unnatural cold places indicate the presence of some supernatural presence and the proof of their existence.
3. Waterfront Station – Canada
It is said to be one of the most haunting buildings in Canada. One security guard was reported seeing a woman dressed in a 1920s outfit dancing to the music of the same era. And when he approached her, she disappeared and the music stopped. This is not the only story; another guard came across a ghost of an old woman who reached out to him as he came towards her but he ran away in terror.
These are not all. There have been several other reports of haunting figures walking the rail, unusually loud screams and laughs in the night.
2. Panteones Metro Station – Mexico
What else can you expect from a place whose name means “Graveyard” itself? Yes, the name of the station is named so because of the nearby two old cemeteries. This leads to several ghost stories and haunting reports itself.

1. Macquarie Fields Train Station – Australia
This station lies in a nearly deserted area of South-West Sydney. If stories are to be believed, then several people have been reported seeing the ghost of a teenage girl.

These speculations have resulted in the investigation by Ghost Haunting Australia which photographed ghostly figures watching them.
