All American Horror: Gateways to Hell Page #8

Susan Sheppard:
My grandmother

told me, as the story goes,

there was a young woman

riding the train into

Parkersburg to meet her

betrothed.

Male Speaker:
The people of

Parkersburg claimed that this

young woman whose name

is unknown was riding the

train to meet and marry her

fianc.

She was a small town girl and

was nervous about travelling

this long distance.

But she may have had another

suitor, a very jealous one,

who did not look kindly

upon her intended marriage.

The conductor eased the young

woman's fears and helped

settle her on the train,

not realizing this would be

the last time he'd see her.

The woman's proudest

possession was a necklace

given to her by her betrothed.

It would be crucial to

discovering what happened to

her.

Susan Sheppard:
Now many say

that young lady was murdered.

Male Speaker:
That night as

the train made its way through

the dark the jealous

suitor, they theorized, took

his revenge for being rejected

by the woman he loved.

Later, when the conductor

returned he told the police

there was no sign of the

girl, all that remained was

her luggage and her diary,

which she had been writing

in up to the moment of her

disappearance.

Susan Sheppard:
Others say she

simply jumped off the train,

for whatever reason

she vanished, and many believe

her to be that ghost of Silver

Run.
