The Signalman Who NEVER Came Home: The BIZARRE Death of Samuel Gains, 1911 // Ewood Bridge

,

Loading

In the early hours of a cold morning in 1911, Samuel Gains, a signalman working at Ewood Bridge in the North West of England, mysteriously vanished from his post at the railway’s signal box.

A respected and diligent worker, Samuel’s sudden disappearance baffled his colleagues, as the night seemed uneventful, with no sign of struggle or disturbance.

For 36 hours, a frantic search ensued, but when his body was discovered in a sewage treatment plant miles away, the mystery only deepened. How did he get there? Was foul play involved, or could there be a more sinister explanation?

With no witnesses and no answers, the death of Samuel Gains remains one of the most puzzling and unexplained cases in the region’s history.

This documentary delves into the eerie circumstances of his disappearance, the strange journey that led to his tragic end, and the questions that linger over a century later.
