Haunted Highways

Some roads collect more stories than traffic. A two-lane stretch with no shoulders, a bridge that ices before the rest of the county, a curve with a cross and plastic flowers. Haunted Highways is a guide to those roads: the documented wrecks, the local legends, and the difference between the two.

Each article covers where the road actually is, what the record says happened there, what drivers claim to see or hear, and how to visit without becoming the next marker on the shoulder.

How we research

Documented history is kept separate from legend. Each entry covers the place, what the record says happened there, and what drivers are said to see or hear. The ghost stories are told as local folklore, not as proven fact. Where no record backs a story up, it is described as a legend or a rumor. Narrow roads are dangerous at night, so please enjoy the stories from a distance: pull fully off the pavement, never block a bridge or a lane, and never trespass on private land. About this site
