Today we tell the story of an apparition that appeared at the entrance to the Silver Run railroad tunnel in West Virginia, a young, attractive woman in a pale dress.  And they say you can still catch a glimpse of her, if conditions are right and you're willing to ride your bicycle along the rail trail that sits where those tracks used to be.

At the turn of the 20th century the coal industry in Appalachia was experiencing such a boom that operators had to bring in workers from eastern and southern Europe to work in the mines.  One of these workers was a Russian man his fellow workers dubbed "Big John."  And Big John had quite an impact on those other miners, in life and in death.  Today we tell his tale.
