Hello everyone whats gucci!
Hope youre having an awesome day wherever and whenever youre watching this!
Im your host Ayman Hasan and welcome back to another video here at most amazing top
10.
I feel like road trips are always good fun if your car isnt overcramped, you guys have
working AC, snacks for days and ample leg room.
Oh and good music.
That is the recipe for the perfect road trip in my opinion.
However, sometimes you can hit a bump in the road pun completely intended.
The road is also where a lot of bad things happen accidents, roadkill, murders, cult
gatherings theres a lot so lets get into it.
This is the Top 10 Scary Road Trip Urban Legends.
Starting us off with number 10 is Route 666.
What a fitting number.
Also known as the Devils Highway, route 666 is a 200 mile north south carriageway that
goes through New Mexico, Utah, Colorado etc. funnily enough the route was renamed to Route
491 back in 2003 because of the originals satanic associations and the fact that so
many accidents have taken place on it.
Everytime a fatal or nonfatal accident has happened on the road its always been blamed
on the name of the road.
Everyone just assumes something paranormal is definitely at play here.
Many Native Americans believe Skinwalkers are the reason for all the accidents because
they appear out of nowhere and so suddenly.
Shamans even warn drivers not to continue but then would be summoned to take the lives
of those who did not heed his warnings.
If skinwalkers arent bad enough, even hell hounds have been noted to patrol regions of
the road in packs.
Witnesses have said theyve kept pace with the cars no matter how fast they were going.
And ofc they can shred your tires with their claws or teeth or both and then proceed to
maul you inside your car.
Paranormal aside, even mechanical failures seem to be more common on this highway than
others.
Flat tires, overheating, breakdowns everything apparently theres even a haunted truck that
collides with cars on purpose to run them off the road.
Which is just personally not what im looking for on a road trip.
Its just not really my vibe.
Coming in at number 9 is The Hitchhiker.
And im pretty sure everyone has heard some type of variation of this one so lets get
into it.
This legend centers around mysterious hitchhikers which we already know we shouldnt be picking
up or giving a ride.
A cab driver found someone dressed in all black with a hood over their face looking
for a ride.
He picked them up and they person gave an address the driver wasnt familiar with but
assured him he could give him directions.
They get further and further out taking backroads and alleys and eventually theyre out of the
city completely.
Rattled the driver asks if theyre going the right way to which the person says theyre
almost there.
They end up on a road thats basically falling apart and at this point the driver finally
turns around to ask where exactly theyre going to find the backseat empty.
By the time he turns back around he realises hes heading straight for the edge of a cliff
and plummets to his death.
Now im not sure whether this legend is supernatural in any way like is the hitchhiker a real person?
Are they a ghost?
How did they vanish from the car?
At number 8 we have The Waiting Car.
And apparently this has happened to many people on road trips.
But lets look at one family's experience in particular.
Every summer the family would go on a road trip from North Texas to Mexico.
And when youre on a stretch of highway in the middle of the desert its not really a
big deal if the same car has been behind you for ages.
So at this point the family had been in Mexico for an hour but had a few more hours left.
The users mum suddenly goes to her dad ‘Miguel.
That car behind us.
Its been behind us since we left Laredo’.
And the dad responded with what i said earlier about it not being that big a deal.
But then eventually the car started getting closer and at one point it was practically
touching their rear.
The other car was playing with them it would ease off them then blind them with their headlights
then tailgate them again etc. thankfully the mum saw a police car up ahead and they pulled
over.
After telling the cop what happened the policeman told them how people had their cars stolen
on empty highways by criminals and thugs.
He drove behind them for a while and 10 minutes later they saw the same car from before on
the side of the road waiting for them.
Filling our number 7 slot are Hells Angels.
So originally people thought this myth or legend originated sometime in the 90s in LA
but apparently it started in the early 80s in Montana with the Hells Angels biker gang
as the centerpiece.
It goes like this, if youre ever driving home late and you pass a car that has its high
beams on, as a courtesy gesture you would usually flash your high beams at them to let
them know so they stop blinding every driver passing them.
But in this instant a car with high beams on isnt just accidental.
If you flashed your high beams at these cars that was basically you signing your own death
warrant.
Cars like that were usually being driven by initiates for local gangs mainly Hells Angels
and their initiation i guess was for them to kill you.
So next time you decide to go on a road trip be very careful on who you signal to.
Now at number 6 is the Petrol Pump Trap.
I think the thing that gives me the most anxiety whilst driving is running out of petrol and
there being no petrol pumps within like a 10km radius of me and im just like wow im
gonna be stuck here forever.
But anyway sometimes finding a petrol pump isnt that lucky at all.
There are so many legends surrounding petrol pumps and bad things happening to people at
them youd be surprised.
Apparently gas stations are a popular place for being to get ambushed.
This story in particular is about 2 girls who were on a road trip and decided to stop
for gas at 10pm.
They found a petrol pump that was for the most part not shady.
It was brightly lit, clean, looked busy with other cars it seemed perfectly fine.
The only open pump was in the middle of the station so the girl got out to fill the tank.
As she unscrews the gas cap she heards a shout and turns around to see a man with a gun and
a group of people with him.
She soon realised all the cars around her were empty and it was actually a trap for
whoever drove into it.
The man started yelling at her to get onto the ground and for her friend to get out the
car otherwise hed shoot them or rape them or worse.
Her friend is sat frozen in the car so the other offers to go in and talk to her and
get her out.
But then obviously instead of talking to her friend she puts the car in reverse and they
both manage to escape.
That was just one of many stories about things like this happening so its definitely not
even a legend but a real thing.
Coming in at number 5 is Port Perry Ghost Road.
Now legend has it that on this road a motorcyclist crashed at night and was killed sometime in
the 1950s.
Ever since then drivers on the road seem to see a motorcycle light in their rearview mirror.
The light then catches up to the car and passes it before disappearing entirely.
Other accounts say theyve just seen a red light roaming the road at night but you somehow
are never able to trace its source.
Many TV documentaries have been made about the legend and its become quite a tourist
attraction.
However with every legend there are skeptics.
Locals who have lived in and around the area for generations say there was no motorcycle
accident around the time of the legend.
Having said that the Ontario Ghosts and Hauntings Research Society maintain that there are ghostlights
in the area.
And a dead body was found in the area in the 60s or 70s so even if a motorcyclist didnt
die, this road really should be avoided at all costs.
At number 4 is The Cult Trap.
Again variations of this legend always float around so its hard to pinpoint really which
story was the original but anyway legend had it that a man was driving through a bunch
of rural backroads at night because he thought it would be a shortcut compared to his usual
route.
At point point the roads lead him to a long road thats surrounded by crops or tall grass.
Halfway down the road they see a car and in some stories its on one side of the road in
others its parked over two lanes but in all variations the boot and doors are always open.
Clothes are strewn all over the road and there are two bodies on the ground.
Obviously the drivers first reaction is to get out and help the people but when they
go to call the ambulance they realise they have no service.
And then things get a bit fishy.
Everything just seems too accident like, almost like it had been staged.
Now the next part has many variations, sometimes the driver just completely avoids the scene
and goes around it, another has him seeing reflections of light on eyes in the grass
by the road.
Either way as the person drives away they see the 2 bodies getting on their knees and
20 people magically emerging from the tall grass.
Had the person stayed well we can all guess what wouldve become of him or her.
Filling our number 3 slot is The Pavement Bigfoot.
I just tried to be creative there but theres a legend that surrounds Bray Road in the town
of Elkhorn Wisconsin.
Even the name of the town sounds Lord of the Rings esque.
But anyway to any person Bray Road looks pretty peaceful and normal, surrounded by crops and
greenery it looks as good a road as any.
FALSE.
By night the Beast of Bray is said to haunt a certain part of Bray Road.
eyewitness reports have varied through time but the beast is meant to have bigfoot like
proportions and many have speculated that it is in fact a werewolf.
Well honestly if youre giving me a choice between running into bigfoot on my road trip
or running into a werewolf i would honestly choose none and just cancel my trip.
Is that not the obvious choice here?
Im not about to get stuck in the middle of nowhere in Wisconsin with the Beast of Bray
Road ready to attack me in the sidelines.
Thats just a hard no from me.
Now at number 2 is Route 2A.
Now Route 2A is a dangerous route located in Haynesville Maine.
Now this one is known for the high number of accidents that happen there, the bad driving
conditions and the whole host of spirits that have been seen there for the years.
Great everything that makes a road not drivable.
You know a road is problematic when theres even a song about it called A Tombstone Every
Mile. need i say more?
Whilst many people have have died in car accidents there, theres also an urban legend surrounding
the road.
Many people have seen a woman shouting at passersby and saying how her husband is trapped
in their car and that they need help.
But if you do end up stopping she disappears.
The story goes that the husband got stuck in there and died of carbon monoxide poisoning
and the wife either froze to death outside waiting for help or she was hit with a car.
And hence they have some unfinished business with the area.
Other accounts have said theyve seen a little girl on the side of the road that was killed
by a truck years ago.
Either way lets not.
And finally at number 1 is Shades of Death Road.
Honestly this one can be 5 seconds long because all i have to say is look at the name of the
road, have 1 braincell, dont travel on it.
The end.
But no seriously Shades of Death Road real name btw is a quiet country lane located in
Warren County New Jersey.
And the legends surrounding this road are plentiful.
The road runs alongside an old haunted lake bed which has pillars of mist rising from
it and no one knows how thats caused but its there.
Apparently early settlers killed Native Indians and threw them into the lake and their unhappy
souls lived on to haunt the lake and road.
Some say theyve seen the dead walk along the door amidst the mist.
People in the area say the site used to be the location of so many deaths they thought
it was cursed.
Another story was that the original people who lived in the area were a band of squatters.
Vile men who used to fight each other for women and those fights would result in someone
always dying.
As their reputation grew the area started being called Shades of Death.
Another story was that it was actually called The Shades originally because of the low hanging
trees that formed a canopy which made it easier for murders to happen there and stay unsolved.
Either way, whichever story you believe this road is you should definitely try to avoid
at all costs for a plethora of reasons.
And thats it for todays video guys!
I hope this didnt put you off road trips because they are a lot of fun but also please do your
research about the route youre taking because the people on this list were unsuspectingly
unlucky and we cant share the same fate now can we. let me know if youve actually driven
on any of these roads before or heard of these stories in the comments below.
And as always im your host Ayman Hasan and ill see you next time.
Byee.
