A dumbass in North Carolina took a bunch of buddies onto a train trestle around 3 AM in order to see a “ghost train.” A train had crashed on the spot back at the end of the 1800′s and Christopher Kaiser hoped to see the ghost of the train. Oh, he saw a train all right.

From WISTV here;

A man who was with about a dozen people who were looking for a legendary “ghost train” in Iredell County was hit by a locomotive and killed early Friday morning. The incident happened on a train trestle at 2:45 a.m. by an eastbound train consisting of three locomotives and no freight cars.

Christopher Kaiser, 29, died at the scene and two more people were injured. Kaiser’s body was found below the trestle down a steep incline.

The sheriff said the incident coincided with the anniversary of a train wreck that occurred at the same location in 1891.

The train operators tried to stop the locomotives and warn the people on the trestle. Most of the people on the trestle started running east and away from the train. All of the victims were able to clear the trestle except for the fatal victim who was struck by a locomotive.

Chris Kaiser was as bad at running as he was at finding ghosts. I’ll bet he was fat, so its lucky he has so many friends that can help hoist that coffin when it comes time to be pallbearers.
