Red Dead Redemption 2is no stranger to secrets and mysteries. Although the game is pretty much grounded in reality for the most part, Rockstar Games still infused somesupernatural elements inRed Dead Redemption 2, which only makes its story and overall experience more interesting.
Just recently,a relatively new secret inRed Dead Redemption 2’sSaint-Denis theaterwas discovered by eagle-eyed fans. Unfortunately, this particular secret was never explained, which added to the game’s long list of unsolved mysteries. Now, for those interested in the game’s more spooky side, here are all the ghost encounters inRed Dead Redemption 2.

The Ghost Train
One of the spookiest Easter eggs that players will discover inRed Dead Redemption 2is the Ghost Trainthat can be found in Lemoyne. According to several sources, the Ghost Train is a direct reference to the Phantom Train boss battle inFinal Fantasy 6that was released for the SNES in 1994.
Now, for those who are interested to encounter the Ghost Train themselves, they first need to head to the North-West part of Lemoyne just beside the Lemoyne sign. From there, the player must mount their horse and ride up and down the train track at around 3:00 AM. At the moment, it appears that an encounter with the Ghost Train triggers at random, so if the sun starts to rise and the players still haven’t seen it, they just need to go to sleep and try again the next night.
Upon successfully triggering the event, the player’s horse would begin to shudder and become whiny, which is the signal that the Ghost Train is about to spawn. There is no direct explanation in the game as to the origins of The Ghost Train inRed Dead Redemption 2. However, some eagle-eyed fans noticed that the train is an exact replica ofthe Phantom Train inFinal Fantasy 6. It is currently unclear why Rockstar Games paid homage to the classic RPG title; however, it is worth noting that encountering the train won’t reward players with anything.
The Ghost of Agnes Dowd
Another popular supernatural sightings inRed Dead Redemption 2revolves aroundthe ghost of Agnes Dowd.Unlike the Ghost Train, this specific encounter involves an actual ghost so it’s probably not the best idea to hunt down Agnes' apparition in the middle of a late gaming session. Of course, those brave enough to try must head again to Lemoyne to encounter the ghost.
Interestingly enough, players may hear about Agnes' ghost from NPC’s inRed Dead Redemption 2who have already encountered her while exploring the swamps at night. To trigger this event, players must simply head to the northwest portion of Bluewater Marsh sometime between 9 PM and 3 AM when the weather is foggy. From there, players will hear Agnes Dowd’s ghost shouting, giving away her location.
Players report that thesupernatural encounter with Agnes Dowdcan happen as much as 16 times, and each encounter would reveal new dialogue that will help players learn more about her. In every encounter, if the player gets too close to her, she will simply disappear. However, if players stay back, they will witness how Agnes died, which is both tragic and creepy at the same time.
Now, it appears that ghost sightings are also present inRed Dead Online, and similar to the base game,Red Dead Onlineoffers a huge mapthat offers new things for players to explore every day. Some players recently posted a weird encounter they had in the online game, which they suspect to be a ghost sighting.
In a video posted on Reddit, players encountered the so-called ghost in the settlement of Colter, which is the first location players can explore in the game. During this specific encounter, playerswitnessed some weird footsteps in the snow, which puzzled them because no other characters were there. However, upon tracking the trail, players witnessed the past as it is made by the ghost, and it travels quite far before disappearing out of the player’s field of view.
Now, this is currently a point of debate amongRed Dead Redemptionfans. Some claim that this could just be a simple glitch, but of course, given thatRed Dead Redemption 2is no stranger to supernatural encounters, it is not unlikely if what these players saw inRed Dead Onlineis indeed a ghost.
Red Dead Redemption 2is out now for PC, PS4, Stadia, and Xbox One.
