Go ghost hunting on America’s creepiest, most haunted roads

Search for ghosts.

Some ghosts moan and rattle chains in decrepit mansions. Others roam the halls of their former places of employment. You might hear doors slamming upstairs when you thought nobody was there. Or, you’ll wonder why the elevator stopped on your floor only for the doors to slide open and reveal no one inside.

But there’s another type of ghost that prefers open spaces. They wander outside, ghouling it up on America’s roads. Yes, roads you might unsuspectingly drive. RV Trader has compiled this guide to 43 of our nation’s most haunted roads. So, if you’re driving back from a hike this spooky season, be extra careful about stopping on these supposedly specter-infested thoroughfares. Picking up hitchhikers is seldom a good idea.
