+ | One evening, Henry is working late with Edward when an owl hoots. Edward warns Henry that when the owl hoots, a mist will roll in soon and a ghost will appear. Henry scoffs at the story and sets off with his goods train, but is surprised when a mist does roll in. He has to slow down at an amber [[Lamps|lamp]] and after seeing a sign saying "Beware of the viaduct", a closed [[Level Crossings|crossing]] gate, a red [[Signals|signal]], a coat discarded on a tree branch and a light flickering at a station, Henry's crew decide to turn back. |
+ | |||
+ | The next day, they discover that a nearby viaduct was unsafe and would have collapsed if they had tried to cross. Later, Henry's [[Drivers|driver]] informs him that the viaduct has been repaired and they can try to cross again that night. [[File:HauntedHenry60.png|thumb|''Stop, stop!'']] Henry is getting prepared to leave with his train that night when he gets spooked after hearing an owl hoot and Gordon speed by, which leads to the [[Troublesome Trucks|trucks]] teasing him. |
||
− | + | Later down the old line, the crossing gates close and the signal turns red by themselves mysteriously. Despite how scared they are, they charge forward through the gates and a mysterious, anonymous figure watches Henry pass by. Worse still, ahead is a landslide on the line in front of the viaduct. The trucks hit the rubble, derail and plunge into the ravine that the viaduct goes over. Soon, Old Bailey the fogman arrives on a [[The Pump Trolley|pump trolley]] and reprimands Henry's crew for not listening to his warnings. Henry's driver apologises and to make up for it, Sir Topham Hatt reopens the station and Old Bailey is made the [[Stationmasters|stationmaster]]. |

- “Whenever that owl hoots, a mist rolls in. And there's a legend that when the mist's about, there's a ghost about too. Take care on the old line, Henry."
"Stupid bird.” - ― Edward and Henry
Haunted Henry is the eleventh episode of the fifth series.
Plot
One evening, Henry is working late with Edward when an owl hoots. Edward warns Henry that when the owl hoots, a mist will roll in soon and a ghost will appear. Henry scoffs at the story and sets off with his goods train, but is surprised when a mist does roll in. He has to slow down at an amber lamp and after seeing a sign saying "Beware of the viaduct", a closed crossing gate, a red signal, a coat discarded on a tree branch and a light flickering at a station, Henry's crew decide to turn back.
The next day, they discover that a nearby viaduct was unsafe and would have collapsed if they had tried to cross. Later, Henry's driver informs him that the viaduct has been repaired and they can try to cross again that night.
Henry is getting prepared to leave with his train that night when he gets spooked after hearing an owl hoot and Gordon speed by, which leads to the trucks teasing him.
Later down the old line, the crossing gates close and the signal turns red by themselves mysteriously. Despite how scared they are, they charge forward through the gates and a mysterious, anonymous figure watches Henry pass by. Worse still, ahead is a landslide on the line in front of the viaduct. The trucks hit the rubble, derail and plunge into the ravine that the viaduct goes over. Soon, Old Bailey the fogman arrives on a pump trolley and reprimands Henry's crew for not listening to his warnings. Henry's driver apologises and to make up for it, Sir Topham Hatt reopens the station and Old Bailey is made the stationmaster.

Goofs
- Some light stands appear in the opening scenes.
- In the close-up of Henry looking angry, there appears to be a mark under his nose.
- Studio equipment is visible on the top right corner when Henry first puffs through the fog.
- Only the front gate of the level crossing closes, as the back gate is already shut.
- On the tree with the 'Beware the Viaduct' sign, the fogman's coat is hanging from a branch. But in a few scenes prior, the same coat is hanging from a branch on a different tree with the amber lamp.
- Henry's rear driving wheels are derailed when Thomas passes through Wellsworth.
- In the head-on shot of Henry with James puffing by, Henry's eyes are wonky.
- Two of Henry's trucks switch places in his train when he pushes it back into the fog.
- While approaching the gates and smashing them and going down the ravine, the open truck in the front is missing his eyebrows.
- When the trucks fall into the ravine, a track on the side of the ravine can be seen leading downwards.
- After the trucks fall into the ravine, either Henry's driver or fireman can be seen leaning out of the cab, but in the next shot, they are both standing beside the track.
- The tracks at the level crossing disappear when the trucks crash into the gates.
- When the narrator says "A mysterious figure watched Henry go by", the two open trucks and two of the vent vans disappear.
- Henry's trucks' faces continually keep facing away and towards him from the point he leaves Wellsworth until the point when they crash.
- When the trucks land at the bottom of the ravine, one truck's face almost falls off.
- When the narrator says "By morning, the mist had cleared", the workman that is talking to Henry's driver has a brown cap, but when the workman says "Lucky you didn't cross the Viaduct last night", he has a blue cap.
Quotes
- Edward: Whenever that owl hoots, a mist rolls in. And there's a legend that when the mist is about, there's a ghost about, too. Take care on the old line, Henry.
- Henry: Stupid bird!
- Henry: Owls, mists, ghosts-- Edward's going soft in the boiler. There's no mist!
- Truck: Oh, look! Henry's spooked.
- (the Troublesome Trucks laugh)
- Henry: Be quiet! I'm not scared!
- Narrator: But he was.
