If you scroll down a little of the way, a small written piece outlines
an apparent incident involving a track-worker. Although full of
inaccuracies (i.e the voltage of the conductor rail), the story has
cropped up elswhere on the world wide web, however stating that the
trackworker was killed by a train. Any how, is this station haunted
like it is said, and did this incident happen?

Well, just a couple of points. As you pointed out, the voltage is completely
inaccurate. Also there's mention of "passengers hearing footsteps in the wee
hours of the morning", which would certainly surprise me as the tube shuts
down before the wee hours commence.

There's also the assertion that Aldgate is where the line "crosses over
older sections of underground rail".... Well, yes and no... It doesn't cross
over anything, but it is one side of triangular junction, Aldgate station
itself being the oldest part as the other two sides were re-alligned to
relieve congestion.

And a final point... Aldgate station has only recently actually become
underground, and even that's a rather dubious assertion!
