haunted roads
Specter-traveled thoroughfares
Haunted roads are stretches of roadway reputed to harbor ghosts, unexplained phenomena, or supernatural encounters.
Local folklore often attaches specific legends—a vanishing hitchhiker, phantom headlights, or the site of a fatal accident where spirits allegedly linger.
We drove down the haunted road at midnight, hoping to see something.
The term appears in regional ghost-hunting guides and urban legends, where certain roads gain reputations that persist across generations.
