Indian Head / Old stone farmhouse - Saskatchewan,Canada
House is located roughly 3 miles east of Indian Head on the Trans Canada Highway. The house stands by itself just north of the highway and is distinguished by the two south facing windows that have been closed off with stone. Back in the late 1800s a family built this house right beside the train tracks. At one point a small child (3 or 4 years old) wandered out onto the train tracks, the mother hearing a train approaching looked out the window to see her child standing on the tracks as the train came by. The mother was so distraught that even the site of the train tracks brought unbearable despair, to compensate for this her husband had the windows facing the tracks stoned up to prevent his wife from seeing them and reliving this tragedy. However the mother still relives this horror everyday, if you stand in the downstairs room in the late evening when a train goes by you can hear her anguished screams.
