The Lost Train of Blackridge Pass : A Scary Horror Story | DailyMuse
Introduction
It was a quiet winter evening when Clara boarded the Blackridge Express, a historic train route winding through snow-covered mountains. She was heading to visit her sister for the holidays, a journey she had taken many times before.
The train was charmingly vintage, with ornate wooden panels and soft golden lighting. Clara found a window seat and settled in, watching the frost-covered landscape blur past. She had no idea this ride would lead her to a chilling encounter that would haunt her forever.
The Strange Announcement
About an hour into the journey, the train slowed to an unexpected stop. The conductor’s voice crackled over the intercom. “Due to unforeseen circumstances, we will be making a detour through Blackridge Pass.”
Clara frowned. Blackridge Pass had been closed for years after a tragic avalanche had derailed a train, killing everyone aboard. Rumors of ghostly sightings and eerie occurrences had surrounded the pass ever since.
The Eerie Passengers
As the train entered Blackridge Pass, Clara noticed the other passengers acting strangely. They sat unnaturally still, their eyes glazed over, as if in a trance. A chill crept through the car, and Clara wrapped her coat tighter around her.
When she tried to talk to the woman seated across from her, the woman turned her head slowly and whispered, “You shouldn’t be here.” Her voice was hoarse, her expression blank.
The Shadow Outside
Looking out the window, Clara noticed a figure standing on the snowy ridgeline. The figure was shrouded in shadow, its outline barely distinguishable against the white snow. As the train passed, it turned to follow, gliding eerily along the mountainside.
Clara’s heart raced. She glanced around the car, but the other passengers seemed oblivious, their eyes fixed ahead.
The Vanishing Train Cars
Clara decided to move to another car, hoping to find someone who could explain what was happening. As she opened the door to the next car, she froze. The car was completely empty—no passengers, no lights, just darkness.
She turned back, but the car she had just left was gone, replaced by a swirling mist. Panic set in as she realized she was now alone on the train.
The Conductor’s Warning
Suddenly, the conductor appeared behind her. His uniform was torn, and his face was pale and sunken. “You have to get off,” he said urgently. “This train isn’t meant for the living.”
Clara stammered, “What do you mean?”
“It’s the Lost Train,” he said. “Every year, it reappears on Christmas Eve, trapping those who board. If you don’t leave, you’ll be part of it forever.”
The Final Decision
The train screeched to a halt, and the conductor gestured toward a snowbank outside. “Go now, while you still can.”
Clara hesitated but realized she had no choice. She jumped from the train into the freezing snow, landing hard. When she looked up, the train was gone, leaving no tracks behind.
