The Railroaders Memorial Museum in Altoona, PA, is associated with paranormal activity primarily through its annual "Haunted Rails & Tails" event and the rumored ghost of a man named Frank. While the museum itself hasn't reported widespread spectral activity, the "Haunted Rails & Tails" event uses true stories of death and sacrifice from the railway industry to create a terrifying experience, and one paranormal investigation team even claimed a member vanished inside the museum while researching a circus train wreck. This event uses the darker aspects of railroading—such as train crashes and tragic accidents—to create a frightening Halloween experience, according to this Facebook post. Actors portray real individuals who died or suffered in the railroad industry from 1850-1950. Museum employees and visitors report seeing the ghost of a man named Frank. Frank is said to be seen near the train engines and the elevator before disappearing into smoke.
