M.G. Railway Colony, Majestic, Bengaluru, India
When the midnight whistle blows near Majestic station, a phantom collector inspects tickets for a line that dried up decades ago.
Locals around the old M.G. Railway Colony near Bengaluru City Station tell of the Midnight Conductor. Long ago, when the railway tracks bordered the ancient Dharmambudhi lakebed, an old night inspector named Appaiah worked the graveyard shift. Late one foggy evening in 1982, he walked onto an unlit platform extension that shouldn't have been there and vanished into the darkness. Now, after midnight, if you linger near the colony's legacy signal post, you might hear heavy boots clicking on the gravel behind you and a faint metallic voice asking in Kannada for your travel pass. He walks along forgotten tracks that lead toward where the old lake waters once lay. If he catches a late night wanderer, he demands to stamp their palm with cold coal dust. If you turn around to face him directly or reply to his call, he assumes you are a passenger for his ghost train and pulls you onto the empty phantom rails, never to return.
