Haunted Highways is a guide to reportedly haunted roads, highways and bridges across the United States. It collects road ghost stories and legends, with the place, what is said to happen there and, where it is known, the documented history of the road.
How the stories are written
Documented history is kept separate from legend. Each entry covers where the road actually is, 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, and many of these tales have changed over the years. 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.
