They said they heard the sound of a locomotive getting closer to them as the leaves on the nearby trees started to blow. They then heard the sound of a train's horn - even though there are no rail lines for miles around.
Convinced what they heard was a train, the pair looked into the history of the town centre area and discovered a train line did once run at the back of the police station - but many years ago.
A spokesman for the Swadlincote Police Safer Neighbourhood Team said: "PCs Joe Stafford and Whitney Holmes-Small were getting ready to go out in the yard at the police station when they suddenly heard a loud rumble. Looking at one another, they realised the sound was getting closer and were shocked when the leaves started to blow, and the air around them moved.
"They both realised that the sound of a long-lost train passing was obvious, and were slightly bewildered to hear the pip of the horn as the noise of the locomotive rolled off into the distance."

Then I am gullible and uneducated. Ghosts? Call visitations from the deceased anything you want, but I know beyond a shadow of a doubt, through my own amazing and beautiful events that “they” do exist.
The estimated amount of people who have ‘ever’ existed is about 117 billion... There are currently 8 billion people on earth... If that’s the case, there are about 13.6 dead people (or as you say... Ghost) for every person who’s alive...
Meaning that we would be seeing them frequently and pretty much everywhere all the time... I’ve been alive for 60 years and haven’t seen one of them to date... So my skepticism is well founded.
