I'm doing a Ghost Train clip, on an old platform closed down in 1914, (approx 1 min long).
This will be sensational.
Great Work.

Its loud. It should stop my studeents in class from what their doing/saying and give me their attention, (if only for a brief few moments).
I'm going to use it as an attempt to stop them from talking loudly in class
Thank you
