Ghost for Christmas: The legend of a woman in a red scarf continues to scare subway passengers

Passengers and subway staff continue to tell stories about a mystical ghost with a tragic fate that returns to the same platform every year. At the Ickenham metro station in the western part of London (England), a mysterious "ghost" of a woman in a red scarf, associated with a tragic history, appears every year for Christmas. The Mirror writes about it.

The stories of ghosts in the London subway is not uncommon, but this spirit, according to witnesses, is invariably returning to the station during the holiday season. According to legend, a woman in a red scarf died on the platform, falling on the rails and receiving a deadly blow. The Ickenham station serving the Metropolitan and Picadilli lines is usually quiet and little loaded, especially compared to large transport units such as Waterloo.

However, her reputation among paranormal lovers makes her known. The first mention of the ghost dates from 1952. Then the engineer who worked on the platform said he saw a middle -aged woman in a red scarf. She called him a gesture, pointed to the distribution shield and led him to the stairs. At the penultimate stage, the woman disappeared. This case was the beginning of many other observations.

Passengers and station staff report that the woman appears on the platform, waves her hand, and then disappears directly in the eyes of eyewitnesses. Each time, history is repeated, enhancing the mystical atmosphere of the station. The publication notes that the London subway is famous for other spooky legends. The Kennington loop allegedly lives a ghost, which closes the door in empty trains. It is believed that it is the spirit of an employee who died from a shock in the 1950s.
