Haunted or cursed roads and highways

I have had the pleasure of living in both Minnesota and Wisconsin. I miss the drift-less area where La Cross is. I agree. Wisconsin has more creep to it. That state has some deep strange-nous. Minnesota is not quite the same and it is weird to think that a non existing border (man made) is something in play, then I realized it's basically water between MN and WI... The Mississippi and the St. Croix... Same on the Dakota side and across the top... hmmmm.

Anyway, I love the nooks and crannies of Wisconsin, but it has a little Stephen King' Darkness to it. I think that was why he continued the story of 'The Talisman' (with Peter Stroub) in Wisconsin, and, Stephen King is famous for basically using his home state of Maine as a stories locale ... Except The Talisman's 2 book.

Makes ya think.

I think you are talking about the Marfa lights in Texas.

Marfa Lights

And in the article there is a list of similar lights.

Brown Mountain Lights
Fata Morgana (mirage)
Gurdon Light
Hessdalen lights
Paulding Light
The Spooklight
St. Louis Light
Will-o'-the-wisp
Min Min light

Yes! Marfa Lights, correct. Very mysterious. Thank you for the link

My hope was in that the two movies would be referenced but it is not looking like so.

There are dirt roads heading west of my town in the desert. It's known for murderers to drive out there and dump or bury their victims. Who wants to go ghost hunting with me?

I drive truck and truckers talk and I ask the right questions often.
And there is one stretch of highway that 3 different truckers on different
occasions told me about.

Highway 50 leaving out of Utah and across Nevada the things I heard
keep me from going that way.

Utah in general creeps me out

One gentleman older guy ready to retire. He tells about this one night
he was try'n to make No. Cali so he jumped that 50 off the 15 lonely
stretch he says just desert mountains. Said he went thru this pass and
in the dead of night he sees this guy wave'n him down on the side of
the road. So he pulled his rig over and by the time he got to halt.
40 yards are between em. He looked in his mirror and here this guy
is fast walk'n towards him. And he opens the door and steps out
on the landing.

He said the guy was wear'n a white suit jacket white pants
and a black tie. But his legs and arms were flailling in both directions
as if broken at the joints and his legs were flop'n back and forth as
he walked touching and dragging on the ground. But they weren't
supporting him. He said it was as if the guy was floating and just
going thru the motions of walking.

He said obviously that was enough for him. He just set his ass
back in the truck and drove off. Now I go by that 15 turn off and
hope my route never takes me thru there. lol

Cause what if I see the same damn thing? lol

But he said no way was that guy for real.

I live near a deer crossing sign.
Cars are always running into the deer.
They should move that sign to an area with less traffic that will be safer for the deer to cross.

LOL, reminded me of this genius. True, IDK.

That sounds almost like a skinwalker
Or...
old ghost of a gangster, sounds like something one would wear.

That's what I surmised as well.

Have you been down Munger Road as a teen? That's one of the Top 3 Spooky roads, Cuba and Rainbow being the whole of the Haunted Trifecta.

My buddy Josh heads his band and named it Munger after Munger Road. We all hailed from WeGo (west Chicago /DuPage County) and went to Munger/Cuba/Rainbow a LOT.

Having seen a road ghost myself, it was in my road on a small humpback railway bridge, (my account is on ats under my road ghost sighting) I know that roads can be just as haunted as buildings and the ghosts cause the accidents.
I'm in the u.k and we have many haunted roads here, thousands of spooky accounts over the years but a road that I believe is cursed in England is called the stocksbridge bypass near Sheffield, check that one out, bedtime story's on u tube have done a video on it, well worth a watch.

After reading about Centralia I've always wanted to go. Currently like, what, less than 5 people live there?

So odd, the underground fire.

Have you ever been?
