    A clown that appears by the side of the road and disappears as your car draws near or an auto accident that was witnessed months after it happened are some of the many hauntings to be discovered in this book. Animals that exhibit the symptoms of rabies the moment their feet touch the street or an aggressive ghoulie car responsible for the deaths of a group of teenagers almost 50 years ago. A woman still trying to get help for her newlywed husband trapped in their vehicle after an accident, unaware it’s too late for either of them and a police officer who relives his death every time he pulls over another speeding car are just a few of the true stories of haunted highways and roads you will find within the pages of this disturbing book. India, China, Wales, Scotland, England, Australia, and the United States all have roads, streets, interstates, routes, and highways that connect one end of a country to the other. There are hundreds of thousands of roads and streets that no one experiences anything mysterious upon. Then there is a handful of streets notorious for the abnormal, disturbing, paranormal things that occur on or near them on a regular basis. While some of these hauntings only began recently, others extend back hundreds of years when the roads were dirt trails. Some of these haunted avenues are infamous, like those along Tuen Mun Road in Hong Kong, Archer Avenue in Chicago, or Mona Lisa Drive in New Orleans. Those more unknown are equally horrifying, like along A541 in Pontblyddyn, Wales and Route 2A in Maine. Regardless, you will agree this book comprises the scariest, most disturbing true tales of haunted roads and highways. One of the most unusual aspects of these stories, when compared to most true horror stories, is that just about every eyewitness encounter in the chapters of this book was experienced by someone who wasn’t out looking to encounter the supernatural. These people were minding their own business when they were thrown first hand into experiences beyond the natural that would mark them for life, which means it could happen to you, too. Are you ready to never feel quite as comfortable driving along the road in the dark? Then this book is exactly what you need. Ready to scare yourself senseless?
