The Headless Trainman from the Haunted Kids spine-chilling audiobook collection by Allan Zullo of true ghost stories that have happened to real kids. A perfect way to set the tone for Halloween or anytime you want an eerie tale to keep you up at night!

Listen in as actor John Ratzenberger tells the following story: The Headless Trainman

Three girls try to verify the legend of the headless trainman—a ghost of an engineer who was decapitated in a derailment. The girls make a papier mache head and go looking for him by the tracks so they can give him a new head with a smiling face. They flee when they spot him hovering over the tracks. When they return home, their fake head is in the kitchen—and it now has a scowl.

In 1969, Allan Zullo graduated with a journalism degree from Northern Illinois University where he worked on the school's daily paper, The Northern Star, first as a sportswriter, then news editor, managing editor and finally editor-in-chief. Allan created and wrote "The Ghost Story Club" daily comic strip, which was syndicated nationally by Tribune Media Services from 1995 to 1998. For more than 16 years, Allan has produced dozens of annual boxed daily-page calendars for Andrews McMeel Publishing. Today Allan is the author and co-author of more than 80 current and forthcoming nonfiction trade paperbacks. Allan lives with his wife Kathryn (his childhood sweetheart and most honest critic) on the side of a mountain in Fairview, North Carolina, minutes from downtown Asheville, which some call Paris of the South or Little San Francisco of the East.
