"Well this is not a ghost story, but an incident that I can never forget. This story is about ten years old. There's a railway station named 'Park Circus' in southern Kolkata. A decade back, it was a very small station. Only few trains had stoppages on that station.
I was returning home from a job interview and thought I'd get a local train from that station towards Sealdah (a terminal station which adjoins the city and suburbs). When I was just a few feet away from the platform, I saw a train had just come and was to leave the platform. Knowing very well that if I would miss that train, the next one would only come after an hour, I started running and got in the train but all the lights of that compartment were off. It was completely dark and there was no one in that compartment.
I thought may be I got the vendor compartment, because it was smelling like hell. When the train took its full speed, something touched my feet and was rolling around. I did not understand what it was, something like a football that kept rolling towards me. Near Sealdah station, the street lights outside would light up the compartments. It was in that dim light that I saw three dead bodies, drenched in blood were kept inside that compartment. These people had met with a train accident somewhere and were headed towards Sealdah. I later figured the football like thing which was rolling over was the head of one of the dead bodies. The head was just in front of me.
I was shivering in a fear, due to which, I kicked that head so hard that it fell outside the train. As soon the train entered the station, I jumped on the platform and fainted. Some R. P. F. Personnel helped me and I was taken to the N. R. S. Hospital near Sealdah station. Doctors discharged me after treatment of the injuries and bruises due to sudden jump and fall from a running train. I still get nightmares of the head sometimes."
