Description
The Signalman, a haunting ghost story, was written by Charles Dickens in 1866, following a traumatic event that occurred on the train he was travelling on. The story takes place in a railway cutting, where the narrator meets a signalman who is haunted by an apparition that prefigures terrible rail accidents.
Dickens drew on his own experiences of the devastating Staplehurst rail disaster, which killed ten people and injured forty, when he wrote this atmospheric tale. The result is a sinister story that will make you think twice next time you enter a quiet carriage.
