Haunted Henry is the eleventh episode of the fifth season.
Plot
One evening, Henry is working late with Edward, and an owl hoots. Edward warns Henry that a mist will roll in soon, along with a ghost. Henry scoffs at the story and sets off with his goods train, but has to slow at an amber signal, and after seeing a light flickering at a station, a closed crossing gate, and a coat discarded on a tree branch, Henry's crew decide to turn back. The next day, they are shocked to discover that a nearby viaduct was unsafe and would have collapsed if they'd tried to cross. They try to deliver the goods again that night, and Henry gets spooked after hearing an owl hooting. The trucks tease him, but later down the old line, they see the crossing gates close and lamp turn on by themselves, and they become spooked too. They surge forward through the gates and hit a landslide, plunging into a ravine. Soon, Old Bailey the fogman arrives on a handcart and reprimands Henry and his crew for not heeding his warnings. Henry's driver apologizes, and to make up for it, Sir Topham Hatt reopens the station, and Old Bailey is made into the stationmaster.
