25-Cent Haunted Canada Lenticular Coin - The Brakeman

This double-image, lenticular, large-format coin is called "Brakeman." With a 35-mm diameter, this 25-cent features a portrait of a ghostly brakeman dressed in his 1928 uniform, holding a lantern. Using lenticular technology, a haunting effect can be seen when the coin is tilted: the brakeman appears without a head, with two small, glowing orbs that create the illusion of peering eyes. The word "Canada" is engraved along the outer ring, together with the denomination "25 cents" and the year "2015."

The Tale of the Headless Brakeman
The Waterfront Station in downtown Vancouver is the site where this chilling tale of the headless brakeman is said to emanate from. On the railway tracks north of the building, the ghost of a rail worker is sometimes seen on rainy nights. In 1928, a brakeman was killed while he was making repairs in the rail yard. He slipped on the wet tracks and was knocked unconscious. Horrifically, he was decapitated when a passenger train approached and ran him over. Since that time, some have reported seeing the headless brakeman roaming the tracks, his lantern glowing in his hand.
