4. The Silverpilen Ghost Train
The Silverpilen (Silver Arrow) ghost train is one of the most well-known urban legends in Stockholm, Sweden. Although the “real” train was decommissioned in 1996, workers in abandoned subway tunnels still report seeing it after midnight. Some people even claim that it has picked up passengers who have never been seen again. The phrase, “Only the dead are lowered into Kymlinge” is popular among the locals and refers to the unfinished Kymlinge Station, which is where most sightings have been reported from. While the story is erratic and doesn’t make much sense, it would form the perfect basis for a Studio Ghibli animation.
