And, out of about 30 photos of the depot and the caboose next to it, this is the only one with an orb that seems fairly real. The others–on only two other photos–could have been reflections from light sources.

This is what makes a site credible. If we saw orbs in every photo, or more than half of them, we’d have to question humidity, dust, pollen, bugs, and so on.

Our experiences at the depot suggest a few gentle spirits at the old depot, probably residual energy from people who worked there. There are also residual energy hauntings by people who have happy memories of traveling by rail to and from Katy.

There is something considerably stronger at the caboose.

Initially, our ‘gut feeling’ is that the caboose is haunted by an old railroad conductor, and he’s not too happy with the caboose sitting still. He’s annoyed that it’s not moving, it’s not keeping its usual schedule, and he doesn’t like people getting very close to the caboose, either.

He’s not malicious, just annoyed. He keeps looking out the back window (facing away from the depot) and checking his watch.

This was our second visit to the “old town” area of Katy, and the depot. We’ll continue to monitor the old depot and caboose for additional manifestations.
