A: I get lost all of the time, especially when I’m travelling on country roads, so
I like to use a GPS to make things a bit easier.
That being said, not all roads are ones you should take.
J: So today me and Jarred are going to be telling
you about Top 10 Cursed GPS Routes That Should Never Be Taken

Alright Jarred, you start.
J: #10 Route 491, formally known as Highway 666.
When people started claiming paranormal things were happening to them, such as a black sedan
speeding behind them, or the hounds of hell causing accidents to those driving along the
highway, the US decided to rename their road.
Although the name is no longer associated with the devil, many still fear it’s haunted
and should be avoided at all times if possible.
Although the amount of accidents that have occurred since they changed the name of the
route has significantly decreased, some still refuse to take the road.
So just a fair warning, if you guys are traveling through or near Arizona, Utah, New Mexico
or Colorado, try to steer clear of route 491.
And if you do happen to drive on it, well, I’d love to hear your experience if you
live to tell the tale.
A: #9 Kelly Road This road is located in Ohioville in Pennsylvania.
You don’t have to be wary of the whole road, but there is a one-mile stretch that you should
definitely avoid.
While the dark forests around it make it look a bit creepy, that’s not the scary part
of it.
Apparently, something on the land makes animals change.
They go from being bright eyed and bushy tailed to straight up menaces.
They become more and more aggressive, violently chasing other animals and whichever people
they come across.
The current explanation believers drift to is that there was some sort of cult activity
in the past in that area, or a curse that was put upon the land.
Whatever it is plaguing that strip of road, it has caused people to see apparitions and
hear unexplainable noises.
J: #8 New Jersey Route 55.
March 22nd 2016, a man named Bill Hand uploads a photo of what appears to be a woman in a
wedding dress walking along the side of the highway in the middle of the night.
Then a local radio personality Big Daddy Graham saw the same thing, and both men decided to
contact authorities.
Turns out the girl wasn’t a ghost, but a teen who wandered off from a local Children’s
Services Facility.
However, this road has been known to be cursed or haunted.
In 1983, the Department of Transportation decided to extend the highway, building another
7.2 mile stretch of road.
However, when it was discovered that they were planning on building over a Native American
Burial Grounds in Deptford, people weren’t too happy.
Lawsuits temporarily put the construction of the road on hiatus, until ultimately, the
road was completed.
Carl Pierce, the chief and medicine man of the Delware Indians was quoted in a newspaper
warning the workers of what may happen.
Following the completion of the extension, weird things happened to the workers.
One of the workers was run over by his own asphalt truck, while another fell to his death
after being blown off a bridge due to unexpected strong winds.
What’s even crazier is a van carrying 5 of the guys who also worked on the project
randomly erupted into flames killing all of them as well.
To this day, people claim they always see cars breaking down specifically in the “haunted”
area, so maybe it’s best if you don’t use this route.
#7 M6 Motorway, England This motorway that opened in 1958 is the longest
motorway in the UK.
That, among other things, may be a reason why it has so many traffic accidents happening
on it.
Longer road, more chances for accidents right?
But it may also be something else.
A self-proclaimed international psychic medium named Mike Brooker believes ghosts are what
causing driver to be so distracted.
He alleges that the hauntings are most prominent along the junctions from sixteen to nineteen.
These also happen to be the most accident prone.
Brooker thinks it may be connected to the Saxon involvement since people have reported
seeing roman soldiers before a crash.
Near this area there may have been a clash between Scottish and English armies, and a
long passed Roman Burial ground.
Whatever it is haunting this area, is effective.
In 2017, there were over 75 accidents between the sixteenth junction and twentieth junction
alone.
So maybe take the side roads if you are going that way.
J: #6 The A75 Kinmount Straight.
Dubbed as the most haunted road in Scotland, and possibly the UK, this road is known for
causing problems among those dumb enough to drive on it.
In 1962, Derek and Norman Ferguson experienced about 30 minutes of crazy events while traveling
on the road.
First, a large hen apparently started flying toward their windshield.
Then, out of nowhere, they claimed to have seen a woman running toward their car waving
her arms.
Unfortunately there’s a lot more.
The brothers then claim to have seen a group of wild animals, including cats and dogs on
the side of the road.
This was followed by their car rocking violently, and a sudden chill in the air.
Lastly, the two claimed to have been seconds away from colliding with a van, but it disappeared
right before they crashed.
One search on google about this highway and you can find stories ranging from ghosts hauntings
to people thinking they’ve run over other people, only to find out that no one is there
when they get out of their car to check.
A: #5 Mona Lisa Drive A rich philanthropist made a donation to City
Park, in New Orleans, Louisiana, but had one condition.
He wanted a statue of his late daughter Mona, who had just passed away.
It was done, but it was slowly defaced and destroyed by teenagers in the area.
Since it’s decay and the wildlife around it has grown in, there have been sightings
of a Spectre alongside the nearby Mona Lisa Drive.
The sighting goes that a figure in white would float up to car windows with a pained or mournful
expression.
It would usually approach on the passenger side and scratch at the glass with deep melancholy.
After she gives her last glance she vanishes into the air, leaving those who have experienced
her in doubt of that they just saw.
If you are driving by you are the most likely to see her in the spring, because that is
when hauntings are the most prevalent.
J: #4 Belchen Tunnel, Switzerland.
Legend has is that if you travel through this tunnel, you will see a ghostly figure of a
woman in a white dress.
This legend dates back to the early 1980’s, and it’s believed to have started with a
male hitchhiker.
Apparently someone picked up the man, but he disappeared right before the driver’s
eyes.
Later in 1980, the legend changed to a female hitchhiker wearing white.
In 1983 two female jurists claimed to have picked up a woman who seemed quite normal.
She was pale, dressed like you and i, and seemed pretty normal.
When the women asked how the hitchhiker was feeling, she allegedly responded I am not
well at all.
Something really awful is going to happen, something very dreadful!
When the two women looked back to the women, she disappeared.
It’s believed people who drive through the tunnel still see the woman to this day, so
drive through at your own risk.
#3 Route 2A in Haynesville, Maine (in the bustle article)
Driving down this road, day or night, you may pass a little girl walking along the road
looking lost and confused.
If you happen to offer her a ride, don’t expect her to stay long.
She will probably vanish shortly after climbing in.
It’s because this girl is likely the ghost of a child who was killed on August 22, 1967.
The legend goes that she was hit by a truck during a walk by the woods in Haynesville,
and her spectre lingers.
The reality is that it is recorded that two ten year old girls did pass away that day
on that road.
So, the possible answer to why there aren’t two ghosts that some people have said is that
one of the girls didn’t fully pass on.
Instead, she hopes to catch a ride with kind strangers, but still can’t move from that
roadside.
J: #2 E8 Expressway in Malaysia.
Also referred to as the Kuala Lumpur-Karak Expressway, this route is attached to a few
urban legends.
One of the most popular myths regarding the road is that of a family whose car broke down.
After realizing the car wouldn’t start, the father of the family told his wife and
child to stay in the car and lock the door while he walks up the road to find a phone.
The wife then heard a loud banging on the top of her car, but didn’t get out to look.
As cars would drive by their broken down vehicle, they would approach slowly and then speed
by as they got closer.
It wasn’t until an officer showed up that the woman understood why this was.
The officer insisted the woman to get out of her car with the child and walk toward
his patrol car without looking behind her.
As she made her way over to the officer’s car, she looked behind her to find a vampire
like creature holding her husband’s head, banging it on the roof of the car.
Another legend claims people often see a yellow Volkswagen driving on the roads, without a
driver.
Apparently the yellow car drives slowly, forcing you to overtake it.
As you continue on the road, you’ll see another similar looking car.
Then another.
After a while, the car will speed by you and disappear into the night.
A: #1 Boy Scout Lane To kick off the creepiness, this is an unpaved
road cutting through a dense forest.
There are three versions of the legend that gave the route its name.
The first is that a Boy Scout Troop disappeared on this road and was never seen again.
The second story is that a troop of boy scouts were camping near the road.
Some of the boys were wandering at night and accidentally dropped a lantern.
The lantern was said to start a fire that claimed the lives of the rest of the troop
that was sleeping soundly.
The third version of how the road got its name is that a troop of Boy Scouts was on
their way to a camping trip when their bus driver stopped the bus on this road.
The bus driver chose this road because it was isolated and murdered the entire troop.
Because of all of these different stories the road is rumoured to be haunted, with people
reporting seeing a moving light on the road.
This light lines up with the story of the scouts who accidentally killed their troop
in a fire.
The light shows their search for the troop they lost.
So avoid this route if you can.
And that is all we have for you all today!
