The Crash at Crush - Stare Into the Dark #2 | Daniel Nightcraft
19In 1896, two locomotives were sent hurtling toward each other before a crowd of 50,000 Texans. It was a publicity stunt meant to thrill. Instead, it summoned something else.
This is the true story of the Crash at Crush—the deadliest staged event in Texas history—and the disturbing aftermath that has haunted the legend ever since.
Some say the Devil came to Texas that day. Some say he never left. though, of course, the Czech immigrants who settled in Texas called--and feared him--by another name. . . Čert.
Stare Into the Dark returns with an unnerving descent into forgotten history, dark folklore, and eerie eyewitness accounts. Watch closely. Listen deeper. And remember: the world is far more than what it seems.
