All I want to do that CrimeCon, this is my only dream. And I hope they're listening. They're probably not.

But you know, enough that I think guys, by the way, if we are slap happy today, we're slap happy all the time, but especially tonight. Yeah, this might go off the rails and we apologize because it's been a week. A fucking week. A week.

John has the legitimate flu. So he was quarantined for 48 hours. So I decided to take a stab at motherhood and help Alina with the baby. Yeah, Ash stepped up like a goddamn angel. I just want to put that out there. Ash has decided against children in the future. Yeah. Well, then at the last second, as we were about to record our episode tonight, Bailey, my beloved Puggle, fell off the bed and hurt her. She ended up tearing both of her ACLs and her back legs. My bubble. So we were at urgent care vet hospital all night

and now we're recording it up. And last night we were up all night and I have one more quick thing to say before we start this. So last night we're up with the babe. Well, I'm up with the babe because I was like, Elena, go to sleep, like, I don't have kids. I'll fucking handle it. I'm feeding the babe.

It's dead silent. I'm just sitting here watching parks and rec. All of a sudden, Alina's skinny ass just pops up out of nowhere. I'll open my face. Eyes bulging out of her head. jaw locked and I literally look at her and I go, what the fuck are you doing? Literally, dead ass and I go, what the fuck are you doing? Literally, dead ass.

I go, what the fuck are you doing? And she goes, what? And I was like, you are like so scary right now. Like, what are you doing? Like, you just looked at me and you were like, what? And then didn't I laugh really scary? Oh, and then, no, while you were going to back to lay down, you were like falling back, but maniacally laughing.

And I was like, she's gonna kill us. I was like really afraid that you were gonna wake up and murder me on the air mattress. And that's what I was like, if I did, if I was a serial killer, that's the last thing everybody would see. That face, I wish that you could recreate the face because I've never been more scared in my life.

John has told me several times that that face happens sometimes in the middle of the night Like I just wake up and do that. You looked drained. I was like, what the fuck are you doing? You're like, what's happening now? I was so scared. Oh, so yeah, so it's been, it's been a time guys.

It's been a time. But in the meantime of all that, we came up with a, well, I shouldn't say we, you came up with this idea. And I actually did some research for you all. She did! This is a really cool we, you came up with this idea. And I actually did some research for you all. She did. This is a really cool idea that you came up with. So we decided to do, we're gonna make this like a big long series, but it's not gonna be like a, you know, sequential series is we're gonna do it here and there.

We're gonna sprinkle it into the more, sprinkle it on in. So we're thinking we're gonna do sp spookiest haunted most messed up roads in America. I like to call it fucked up roads. Fucked up roads. US edition. Also, I was thinking we will definitely take this out of the US as well. Oh hell yeah. So what we're going to do is tonight, I'm doing three roads in America. Ash is doing three roads in America. We're definitely, we're gonna be doing way more, but what I want you guys to do, if you are so inclined, is send us your spooky road tails. Like, you know, you live, hey, you live in Chicago,

send me your spooky ass road tail. You live in Tennessee? Send me that spooky ass road tail. How did you come up with those two places? I don't know. Straight up the top of the road. Right up the top of the head. But so what we want to do is we want to get into some of the history

and the legends of these places, because they're all so fun to get into. I had a lot of fun with this. They really are. They're so fun. And then what we want to do is take your tails and just kind of use them as just little sprinkles in. So if you want to send them to us, Washington says that exactly. She felt spooked. Exactly. Just

having a little firsthand account is always fun. So when you send them to us, send them to morbidpodcast at gmail.com like you do with the listener tails with the headline, fucked up roads. Exactly. You have to write that. Oh my god. Yes. Okay. So yes, title it, fucked up roads, and then put the state. And that's how we'll know that that's what that is. So do it, guys. It's going to be fun. So I'm going to start. In my first road tonight, is the San Antonio Ghost Tracks. Tell me everything. Be out. I'm ready. So these ghost tracks are at the intersection of Villamaine and Shane Rhodes. The legend says that sometime during the 1930s, some shit went down that makes this particular railroad track haunted as book.

I feel like all railroad rail road tracks are haunted as fuck. I feel like they should be at least. Yeah, they are. It's like just be haunted. Why aren't you haunted? So there are two stories for this one. I personally prefer the second one, but here's the first one. So one day in the 1930s, a bus carrying a bunch of school children, they're coming home, they're going to the railroad tracks because they're entering the intersection that goes over the railroad tracks and the bus stalls. They couldn't get the engine to start. Suddenly, they hear the whistle of an oncoming train. The bus driver sees this and starts grabbing kids and tossing them to safety.

But he can't do it all in time and boom. 10 students and the driver were killed by the train. I'm getting like ad vibes. Yeah, like tragedy to the max. Oh, I hate that. Yeah, that's the one that's like a, I mean, they're both bum the train. I'm getting like, ad vibes. Yeah, like, tragedy to the max. Oh, I hate that. Yeah, that's the one that's like, I mean, they're both bummers, so I'm going to be real. But this one, I don't know, that one, I was like, I mean, hauntings typically start with like a bummer event. Yeah, it's usually not a happy thing

that leads to a haunting of you. And you know, that did give me ad vibes. It did, right? The guy was trying to save everything. Yeah. Now, the second version of the legend involves a nun because that makes it darker, I think, I don't know already. Like, whenever a nun is involved in like a pre-haunting, I feel like that's always a bad thing. Yeah. Now, again, in the 1930s, a nun is driving a bus. And it's fully, and it's full of

students. The bus also stalls out on the tracks, but this time it isn't the intense battle where the oncoming train is clearly coming. See, it was a super dark night because they were coming home from a field trip. Well, that's why the trains have headlights, right? You know, correct. Super dark nights. That's what it's for. Yeah. Well, not this one because it's headlight had burnt out. So apparently, despite the loud train noise and possible whistles, the none didn't know it was coming until it was way too late. She tried to restart the dead engine, but alas, the train just cut the bus clean and house. Oh shit. Yeah, no joke. The

none went flying. This is the crazy part. You're like, L-L-L, the none went flying out the window. Ha ha ha. Well, let me prep this by saying there are no news articles that say that this actually happens. Okay. So this is just folklore. This is folklore. And it's just, we're going to, I already know, we're going to an email that's like you guys are distressed.

Exactly. And you know what? Let me answer the email now. No, I'm not. So the nun went flying out into the dark night. Stop through the windshield and somehow survived. Oh, okay. So that didn't happen. It's happy ending. She was launching out the windshield into the dark night.

Stop motion. It's so bizarre. You know how it's launched. But everyone else in the bus died. Dead as every dead animal that has ever died. Greek Bears said, love that. And did anyone catch that? That is a white shrewd quote.

Oh, okay, I had that one right over my head. I'm a parks and wrecks person. I know you are, but somebody got that. Yeah. When he kills sprinkles, Angela's cat, he says he's dead. She's like, are you sure he's dead? And he's like, he's dead. Dead or is any dead animal that has ever died? Oh, twice. Yeah. You know, comparing kids to that. So I'm doing great so far. It doesn't end here though in this version because a while after the accident, probably after the nun healed up from all the inevitable broken bones and head trauma that would accompany being launched through a windshield by a goddamn train plowing into your vehicle again with

the hand motions. The nun is racked with survivor guilt. Oh yeah, because she's the only one that died. So she goes back to the tracks and is determined to take her own life because she can't live with it. She just can't live with it. It wasn't your fault sis.

I know, I was like, oh my God sis. Oh my God sis. See, it's not your fault sis. So she parked her car right on the tracks where the accident occurred and she just waits for the train to come and take her out the same way that those poor children. She was driving. No.

So suddenly she sees the train coming, she hears the whistle and she just sits. Oh, God. She waits for it to end. But then she hears voices. Saying? She hears tiny voices all around her. Then her car the fuck out of AIM. Well, then her car begins to be pushed like off the tracks. Oh my

god, full bodges. After she's quickly pushed off the tracks, she's fucking shocked. She's like, what the hell just happened? Right. A force of nature. Well, she thinks someone must have seen her car and pushed her to safety, like some, you know, random goods, some merit and okay, right, right. She assumes this is just a good human being who went out of their way and put themselves in danger to save her.

So she gets out of the car and she's like, I have to bank them, this is amazing. And no one's there. No one's around. So now she's like, what the fuck? She's like, today, she's like, I didn't say that though. I mean, she probably said like, oh my word, what's this? She's like, today, I mean, she probably said like,

oh my word, what's this? Yeah, oh my word sounds better. I was basically going into Jack Skeleton mode. I was like, what's this? What's this? So she's like, did I imagine this? And she leans against the car to think. She's like, what the fuck is going on?

Am I going, again, what the heck is going on? Am I going crazy? She's like, her romp is going on? Am I going again? What the heck is going on? Is that going crazy? She's like, her romp. Her romp. And now she's leaning against the car. She looks over. And suddenly she sees something on the car. What are they?

Tiny child size handprints are covering the trunk of her car. Nope, nope, nope, nope. The ghosts of her students came back to make sure she didn't end her own life. What a bunch of angels literally. They were making sure she knew that they didn't blame her for their deaths. Oh my god. Doesn't that just give you all the feels?

Did she give an account of this? Well, and after this, she suddenly felt like she had a new lease on life and she opened a school for orphaned children. No. And she taught there until she died. Oh my goodness, R.A.P.s. I'm hopefully peacefully in her bed. Yeah, yeah.

Just living her best. I don't know why I just said it like that. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. Like a yes, I agree. Well, snowy. So that's the legend. That's all, that's, you know, that's it.

That's the tale. That's the tea. But now a tea. Now it brings us to today. Today, it's said that's it. That's the tail. That's the T. But now it brings us to today. Today, it's said that if you park your car on or close to the railroad tracks at this intersection, your filamane stupid and change road. Well, it says your vehicle will move on its own and it will be pushed to safety off the tracks.

When you take a peek at the back, you will find a bunch of tiny child-sized handprints. Okay, but why are we putting children to work for our own fucking stupidity? Well, you know what? I just think it's great that these children are actually, you know, they're busy. They're great kids, but like, they're going to have Arnold Schwarzenegger arms. I hope they do. They deserve it. They do, but like, are there child labor laws in this? I don't think on the other side there are. I don't know. Who knows, but like, are there child labor laws in this? I don't think on the other side there are. I don't know.

Who knows in the hereafter if there are child labor laws? I haven't been informed. Maybe children are just working in factories in the hereafter. Oh goodness, I hope not. I don't know. I know either. I have not been there.

You act like I asked you. You're like, I don't know. I don't know why you ask me. What happens on the other side? I don't know. So yeah, the ghosts of these children are making it their mission to keep anyone from a similar fate.

And now it's common for people to also cover their trunks in baby powder so that they can really see the ham prints. And there are like, there's accounts of people saying, like, I saw the hands in the baby powder. That's wild. And one thing I read said she was like, I could see them so clearly that I could see the swirls of their fingerprints.

Oh my goodness. Yeah. So people also say they hear children's voices and children laughing, which I'm like, I don't love that. I'm out. I don't love that. And they see apparitions of children on the tracks

and they can hear a phantom train coming. Oh. All that I kind of hate, like a lot. Yep, not here, please. But you know, I like the part where they saved. I like the part where they saved the none. I don't like the part where everyone goes back now and is like, let's see if they save me. Yeah, because it's like, let's put you to work.

Yeah, right? It's like, it's like, no. No. Let them rest. Let them chill. Yeah. Let them rip. Do let, no. Let them rest. Let them chill. Yeah. Let them rip. Let them rip. Let them rip.

Those babies rip. That's the baby's rip. So yeah, so that's the San Antonio ghost tracks. Again, we're just going to do a quick overview of these things. We're not going to go into heavy detail. No, definitely not. Mine is like not that happy and much longer, but there's no endearing tale of mine, really. All right, so everybody just get ready

to be down in the dumps. So I'm gonna tell you about Clinton Road and New Jersey. Oh, I've heard of Clinton Road. Well, it came up in almost every single Haunted American Road search I did. Of course it did. Which made me feel real compelled to talk about it.

So I'm gonna give you a quick geographical lesson. Love that. Geographical is a word, right? Sure is. Okay, cool. Glad I'm here for it. Clinton wrote is about 10 miles long and it goes through the town of West Medford and New Jersey. Interestingly enough, it's actually not that far from Manhattan. Oh, look at that. I know, right? However, it is pretty rural and there is not a lot of sightseeing to do around there. Rural juror. Yes. The spooky happenings go back to the 1900s when the Cross family built a straight up castle right there in the middle of the woods.

Uh, yes. I would 100% do that if I was living in the early 1900s in the woods. Yeah, I mean, I would build, I would build a castle. I think I would build a castle elsewhere. I don't think I would build a castle in the middle of the woods. Oh, I would want to build it in the middle of the woods so that you could be that spooky person that built a castle in the middle of the woods. Yeah, that does make sense for you. Yeah.

Anyways, Richard Crosst built the castle for his family in 1905 and it sounds like it was fucking lit at that castle. It lit. It had reportedly 40 bedrooms. What? A bunch of like different courtyards, a tennis court, and it sat on a casual 365 acres of land. Oh, oh, that little thing. Yeah, that's all. Yeah, that's a little extra land. Just a America. Just on America. It just sat on America. I mean, it was it actually. It did.

Sadly, Richard passed away in 1917. All right, pay Richard. Rip Richard. In a few years later, the family sold the property to the city of Newark. Newark. I can't talk. Newark.

Newark. You're fine. You're good. Everything's fine. You got it. After selling the property, it pretty much sat there unused and it just slowly deteriorated Eventually a fire burnt most of it down and the rest was demolished in the 1980s. Oh that makes me sad that reminds me of Corpse Woodman I know I was thinking that the whole time. It's a bummer But it had a little fun. Oh well, I won't necessarily say all of the happenings were fun

But some of them sound like fun. It had a heyday, if you will. Yeah, before it was demolished, it was said to be the meeting point for satanic worshipers. Love that for it. I don't hate that at all. I don't hate it. I do hate that it held meetings of the KKK. Hate that a lot.

And I don't hate that it was the occasional corner calling of Covins. Love that. Fuck yeah, I just don't know. So you know what, that's like, that's a shit sandwich because it's like the bun. Yeah, it's great But the meat no no, not good at all. Rancid is for the KKK's rancid is fuck. That's some that's some dog shit But Covins corner calling Covins love that alliteration here for it. Yes north-south east west Satanic worship go for it here. I am

But graffiti covered the walls at one point in a picture that I found shows a wall with graffiti on it. And it's, I can't remember it now. I'm pretty sure it might have been red or like it was painted in red and then the graffiti wasn't black. It doesn't matter. It says, the aesthetic doesn't matter. Like it was a deep blue joke.

Just kidding. It was like a burgundy color. It was a deep blue, just kidding. It was like a burgundy color. It was not a mauve. It said Lex Santaquus. What the fuck does that mean? Which from, I probably pronounced that wrong. Is that a Batman villain? No.

It is actually from what I found. I didn't do a super deep dive because everything that was coming up was in Latin and I didn't want my computer to swallow with some whole. It was just gonna say, let's not summon any demon. Yeah, I was gonna say about it. But I'm pretty sure it's like the rules of Satanism.

Oh, okay. It looks familiar. It looks like a familiar word. Oh, okay. I don't know. Santa Claus sounds like a fancy name for Santa. Let's not say it too many times. Yeah.

Anyways, let's move on. So yeah, it was a meeting for that, for all of those things. Hey, get it. Except for the middle one. This part is like sad, but also insane. Some people report seeing mutant hybrid animals or strange jungle animals like monkeys in the woods surrounding Clinton Road.

It's like the bridgewater triangle. It is, yeah. But this actually makes sense, because in 1972, in West Medford, the Warner Brothers opened up Jungle Kingdom. Oh, yes. Spooky, yes, exactly. And they brought, if you don't know what Jungle Kingdom is,

which I didn't, they definitely don't. Oh, you don't? No, I was like taking context clues that it was a spooky, like, jungle circus. Because it was like around the time, No, it wasn't around the time. Oh girl. I was just called you like 40s. I'm not that old.

I don't even think like my mom was born yet. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. You just took me down. Well, okay, so it was 1972. It wasn't whatever. Yeah, no, I'm not anywhere to. No, no, no, you're not.

The Warner Brothers opened up Jungle Kingdom, which was, um, it wasn't whatever. Yeah, no, I'm not anywhere near them. No, I know you're not. The Warner Brothers opened up Jungle Kingdom, which was, it wasn't a zoo. It was, they brought in all these animals, like lions and tigers and elephants, oh my. And bears, oh my, no elephants. And at first, it was super rad, but it was only open until 1976, so like four years. Because of one lion attack, one elephant attack

in multiple monkey escapes. Yeah. That doesn't seem like a good track record in a couple years. I don't do it. One lion attack is really time to call it quits. That's close to the door. Yeah, that's the bad idea.

It's just throw padlock on that place. I mean, the idea they had behind it was cool because it was supposed to be like a safari. So you would drive through and the animals would just like roam free around you. Ooh, I love that. Like cool concept, but you could definitely see how that would lead to a lot of accidents. Oh, 100%.

Uh, like the time that a man in the backseat of a tacky... A tacky? That tacky. A tacky. Got attacked by a lion. That's a bad trip. But to be fair, he apparently like rolled down the window and was provoking the lion, so what did he expect? That's when it always happens. When everybody's like, hey, don't

roll down your window, because that's wild animal. And they're like, I'm just going to roll it down real quick. It's fine. It'll be different for me. It's probably fine. It's not a world. But back to the hauntings. After jungle, King Dum closed down, because the town, the reason it closed down is the town didn't approve of their plans for like expansion. And they just weren't thrilled with it being there. It brought like a lot of traffic and a lot of that and bullshit. And they were like, you know, animals eating humans is just never good for business.

They were like, we've had enough. Yeah. So some people say that they just up and left, and most of the animals were left behind in the abandoned park. Oh my God. Are there people that are terrible? I know.

I doubt that actually have. I really hope that didn't happen because I just had a vision of that and it made me real sad. Yeah, sad sad animals, don't picture it. But other people say that they just sold their remaining animals to like different zoos and shit around the world.

Well, I'm pretty probably just in America. But every source that I did sift through did say that they left about 30 dead animal carcasses on the land through the winter, which is illegal. Also, why were there that many dead animal carcasses on the land through the winter, which is illegal. Also, why were there that many dead animal carcasses? Well, so the issue, another issue that they had was that a lot of the animals that they had weren't supposed to be in this they weren't in this climate. They couldn't survive the winter. Yeah, that makes sense. Like I forget, um, what exactly what animal it was, but they got like frostbite and like, they just, they weren't supposed to be in this

climate. They're like safari animals. Yeah, yeah, they're not supposed to be in this climate. They're like safari animals. Yeah, exactly. They're not supposed to be in fucking New Jersey. No. But yeah, so they did leave the 30 dead animal carcasses through the winter. Oh. So if you're not thinking like pet cemetery, then I don't know what to tell you. Yeah.

But that's what I'm thinking. Yeah, I'm thinking church. It sounds like a pretty solid recipe for some animal spirits to fucking wreak havoc all over New Jersey. Animal spirits. That's a lot. Yeah. Fucking elephant spirits. Damn. Elephants are my fave, but a pissed-off elephant.

Yeah, I didn't know about that. Sweetie. Mm-hmm. Now, let me tell you about the ghost boy who feels some type of way about your spare change. Tell me about this ghost boy. If you ever visit Clinton Road and you're feeling like a badass, you can throw a coin into the water, into the water. Into the water. That was kind of an EGSEX and a little bit. It was.

The water, in the water. Just pass what they call dead man's curve. Oh, okay. Casual. There's a few variations on the story, so it's kind of like a choose your own adventure. Love those, those goosebumps from my favorite. But except like you don't get to choose

the Ghost Boy Chooses. Oh, not as fun. So you'll throw it into the water and the boy will either throw it back at you. Oh, that's fine. You'll leave like you're supposed to like throw it in and leave I guess. And when you come back it's sitting on the pavement where you were or in some cases in the yellow lines like in between the yellow lines. Spooky is fuck. Sp spooky is fuck spooky is fuck Or he will push you over the edge of the bridge into the water Or you will see his reflection in the water where you just wasted a coin bothering this poor little boy that probably drowned in this water

That escalated so quickly it is like he might give you back your coin where he might drown you I don't know but either way like stop provoking a little boy that died in this water Yeah, like you know what a little boy that died in this water. Yeah. Like you know what the outcome of that is. The wasting time. He will cry. He will want your coin. He will want your coin. He will want your coin. He will want your coin.

He will want your coin. He will want your coin. He will want your coin. He will want your coin. He will want your coin. He will want your coin. He will want your coin. He will want your coin.

He will want your coin. He will want your coin. He will want your coin. He will want your coin. He will want your coin. He will want your coin. He will want your coin ass, right up your ass. What I'll leave you with for Clinton Road is that one of the victims of the Ice Man Richard Kacklinsky, thank you so much, was found alongside the road in 1983. So how's that for a doozy Clinton Road?

That's a doozy. And you know what, we're gonna cover the Ice Man at some point in like a full-ass episode. That's why I didn't go super far into that at all, because I know that we're gonna make that a whole-ass, we're gonna deep dive in that shit. Whole-ass mob. So, whoa, Clinton Road.

My next one is Archer Avenue in Chicago. The biggest culprit here is someone named Resurrection Mary. Oh, not into it. Yeah. I just looked up at the TV and there's a commercial for Mary loose. Oh my. That's weird. Sorry. I love that. So this usually kind of revolves around a place called the Oh Henry Ballroom. Oh Henry. This Oh Henry Ballroom was later turned into the Willowbrook Ballroom. And in October 2016, it burned down. That's never good. It's real sad.

Is that where the haunting started? No, it started way before that, actually. All correct. Now, the legend has a few versions, as all good legends do. I love that. One says that a woman was dancing at the Oh Henry Ballroom sometime in the 1920s, because the 1920s were roaring.

You love to reference the roaring 20s. Because you know what? The roaring 20s are upon us again. Oh yeah, I am ready for it. I'm not ready for prohibition. I'm ready for all of it. Oh, I'm not ready for prohibition. Fuck that shit.

I'm kidding, I'm totally kidding. You don't want a bootleg with me. It'll be full of what you want. You wouldn't bootleg. You'd just be like, well, I don't drink any weight. Let's do it. I'm excited. If anybody just said to me, just lay his jazz hand. I did like a flapper move. Just one jazz hand.

I wish you said just one. I'm tired. So, so yeah, a woman was dancing at the Oh Henry Ballroom sometime in the Rohan 20s and was hit by a car on her way home and was killed. That's not Jazzy. No, and this was as she was walking down Archer Avenue. Of course. The other version says that this woman was dancing at O Henry Ballroom, but then she got in a car accident

on the way home and died on Archer Avenue. Okay. So either way, this woman is dancing her ass off and then she goes and dies on Archer Avenue. All the dups. That emphasis So much. So sometimes they throw a fight in with like a lover before the death. You have to. Because you have to. And that just adds to like the spook factor. It's like sustenance. It is. It's just it's

new. It's the meat and potatoes. We're so tired. I'm like, that's it's nutrition. That makes sense. That's fine. Whatever. Either way, she's been it. She was buried in resurrection cemetery on Archer Road. Okay. That's the end result. Okay. Now, there are hundreds of stories of people that like real people who after all this were dance would dance with a mysterious woman at the ballroom.

I love it. And when the evening ends, either they ask her for a ride home or she asks them for a ride home or they offer one and they all get in a car together. And then she's not there anymore. There's usually more than one person in the group that can make her home. So they do have several accounts of this,

like being witnesses and stuff. It's not just one person that's like, yeah. So the woman always gives them these weird vague directions to her home, but she always tells them to drive down Archer Avenue. Oh, that's spooked. Fantastic. When they drive past the resurrection cemetery,

she suddenly disappears before their very eyes. She's like, I gotta go to bed. She's like, I'm home. Other tales say that they drop her off at the cemetery because she's like, I wanna get to bed. She's like, girl, I'm home. Other tales say that they drop her off at the cemetery because she's like, I wanna get out here. And it's on her insistence. And she runs through the locked gate and then disappears into the darkness.

Yo, I'm sorry, but she's a bad bitch. I just got the chilease. I would do that if I, if I like, I'd call it up at like the places that I tear it up at and then I like, unfortunately, up at like the places that I tear it up at and then I like unfortunately kicked it on the way home. I would go back to like caskin flag and tear it up on the floor close the place down and then I'd fucking hop up in the cemetery and be like, bye thanks for the ride. And you would

just like run through the locked gate. Yes's the check. Yes, that is holding my shoes. That's the way to give it exit. Yeah, it is. And then there are people who will say that they're driving down Archer Avenue and see a woman in a white flowing dress and dance in shoes. Okay, why is every ghost wearing a white dress? Well, I don't know, man.

I don't mean that. It's pure. I mean, yeah, I don't know. But usually she's hitchhiking along the side of Archer Road. There always hitchhiking too. She gets in and then poof disappears when the driver tries to ask her where she lives. And the last kind of sighting is a person will be driving down Archer Avenue when suddenly a woman in a white dress runs out in front of the car.

Oftentimes they will hit her with the car because it happens so quick. And they see her bloodied on the ground. Oh, Jesus Christ. So they'll get out to help and all of a sudden she's gone. And there's no evidence that anything was there to begin with. Oh, I don't like that at all. Yeah, I don't love that at all.

[♪ OUTRO MUSIC PLAYING [♪ Hey there, fellow podcast listener, it's Elena. And Ash! And we're taking you back to the days before streaming services. Whoa. You know, when you would come home from high school, and it was only a few hours until that TV show,

In our newest series, we look at the Kids for Cash Scandal, a story about corruption inside America's system of juvenile justice.

In Northeastern Pennsylvania, residents had begun noticing an alarming trend. Children were being sent away to jail in high numbers and often for committing only minor offenses. The FBI began looking at two local judges, and when the full picture emerged, it made national headlines. The judges were earning a fortune, carrying out a brazen criminal scheme,

one that would shatter the lives of countless children and force a heated debate about punishment and America's criminal justice system. Follow American scandal wherever you get your podcasts. You can listen ad free on the Amazon Music or Wonder App. Now according to the Chicago Tribune, there is actual meat to this legend. Okay. This isn't just like bullshit that they make up. I mean, yeah, there's always meet to, uh, to a lot. Yep. Absolutely. You should leave that in. You can get in there. Arbor Darryl. That's just broke. Just meet in potatoes. Just to find out. So some people think

that this resurrection Mary as they call her. Yeah. Is the ghost of a girl named Anna Norcus. Okay. She was only, that now this is a real girl. This named Anna Norcus. Okay. She was only that now this is a real girl Is real like newspaper articles about this. She was only a few weeks short of her 13th birthday on July 20th 1927 when she was killed in a car accident on Archer Avenue. Okay. Thing is she was buried in St. Casimir cemetery according to her funeral records. Yeah, it's not she's not it But and that seems to count her out, right? Because why would she be asking to go home in another cemetery?

Right. Seem silly. But there is a caveat to this part of the legend. Okay, hit me up. A man named Frank Andre, I'm gonna butcher this name and I apologize because I believe he just died in 2018. So RIP. That's really nice of you. This is a really tough name. Andraeja Sish.

Andraeja Sish. Yeah. Yeah. You know what, Frank. He did unbelievable research about this legend and like tons of research. He's like the guy you want to go to for this. And he made a great point. You see in the Rohan 20s. Jessant. Jessant. Gravedigging was not the glamorous easy gig it is today. Total sarcasm, just letting you know, it's like, is it? It's never been a glamorous or he's never heard anyone say that before.

But he was even more respect then, which is probably. There were often strikes like grave diggers would go on strike a lot because of the terrible conditions. In the bodies who were supposed to be buried during these strikes needed to be put somewhere because they didn't have like ample refrigeration to do it. Well many times they would be brought to resurrection cemetery because it was one of the biggest cemeteries in the area. The grave digger in charge would then bury the body temporarily in a wooden coffin in a temporary

unmarked grave. That's horrible. Now those old janky wooden coffins were not meant to be all end all solution and the temporary graves were not exactly super awesome with decomposition and keeping the body fresh. So often the body would start to decompose very quickly. And if it was in move to its final resting place quickly, it was going to become unidentifiable pretty soon. So if a strike was happening when Anna was killed, Anna was likely buried in resurrection cemetery in an unmarked grave. Well, there you have it. Then when the strike broke, it was probably hard to identify her because of advanced decomposition.

Right. Remember, this was July, too. So there she stays in Resurrection Cemetery and probably pissed off because she was putting a wooden box and just stuck in a temporary grave unmarked. I would be fucking rip shit. I'm saying. So the recent, the most recent owners of the Willowbrook Ballroom actually had a copy of her funeral certificate on the wall in their office according to the Chicago Tribune because they

do believe it was her. Yeah. The first sighting of Resurrection Mary was by a man named Jerry Palace in 1939. He's like famous for this. He danced with a beautiful woman at the Oh Henry Ballroom one night and offered her a ride home. When they passed the cemetery, she said, quote, I must leave you now and you cannot follow me. And then she vanished. Wow. And he was like, he swore this happened. So a famous ghost hunter by the name of Richard Crowe totally believes this legend and says he has talked to enough people to know that it's completely true. He also ran the first ever Chicago Ghost Tour in 1973, which he still runs, but it's now called Chicago Supernatural Tour.

According to the Chicago Tribune, he describes Resurrection Mary as, quote, a very beautiful, blonde, blue-eyed woman with shoulder-length hair of Polish descent 18 or 19 years old. She's wearing a white or pale dancing dress in slippers. She's very rarely seen by a woman. Well, that's interesting. It's usually men that see her. In 1979 and 1980, the suburban Tribune portion of the Chicago Trib posted this column by a column this named Bill Geist and he wrote a whole series on Resurrection Mary. Now in it he talked to a cab driver who wanted to be anonymous and so he went by the name Ralph. Now Ralph claimed that on one particularly freezing evening before the Blizzard of 1979, he picked up a woman

standing on the side of Archer Avenue with no coat on and wearing just a like a very thin white dress. He offered her a ride and she accepted. She got in and when they passed by Resurrection Cemetery, she disappeared right through the cab door and ran through the gates of the cemetery into the blackness. Now, there are all other sources, however, that claim that the ghost who runs into the cemetery always runs towards one specific grave. Oh, now resurrection cemetery has like thousands of sites. So this is pretty impressive that they all say

that she goes to one grave. Right. It is plot number 9819, and this is the grave of a 21-year-old woman named Mary Burgovie. She was killed in a car accident in 1934. It was said to be on her way home from cutting a fucking rug at a dance at the Oh Henry ballroom. Okay, there you have it. It seems to fit. Yeah. So there is a song by a local singer in the area named, the guy's name is Guy Gilbert and it's called the Ballad of Resurrection Mary. So this is like a huge thing in this area.

Okay. And the song is played by a ton of tourists and locals alike who go to Chets melody lounge which is a bar located directly across from Resurrectionice because of the cemetery. Ooh, I would want to go there. Yeah, and they kind of like lean into this. They're like what she's called. And the owner, Rich Przinski, told the Chicago Tribune that people often come to sit and just watch the cemetery or to ask about the Legend of Mary. The bar is hopping, especially in October. And Rich always places a bloody Mary at the end of the bar. Oh my God. Just in case Mary needs a drink after her nights out on the town.

Oh my God. He said it disappears sometimes, but that could be just because it's a free bloody Mary. Yeah, it could take it. So that's the tale of Resurrection Mary. And on Archer Avenue in Chicago. Oh, that was a good one. All right. My next one is Mona Lisa

Lane slash drive. That's referred to as two different things. Fancy. It's technically not a road or street anymore, but at one point it was and it was haunted as fuck. Okay. So it counts. It works. Thank you. And what is now New Orleans city park? There used to be a statue of a beautiful young woman named Mona. Oh, not named Alina? No, okay. Not named Alina or Ash. Mona.

There's a few variations of the story. So Mona lived in the early 1900s, and she ends up dead either because her sailor lover was like messing around. I think that was it. Wow, sold to the lady with the fight gas. I want you to try this. Once she confronted him, he pushed her into a lagoon.

Oh shit. Or the other theory is that her father forbid her from marrying the sailor and she was so depressed that she committed suicide by jumping into the lagoon. Yeah, I like the first one better. I do too. Either way, this part is for sure.

Her father was like a do-gooder around town. He was like a philanthropist. That's the word. I love it. Yeah. And he donated a bunch of statues to the city. Oh, okay. Yeah.

Including one of Mona in the statue who has her posed like the birth of Venus. If you know what that looks like. Oh, yeah. Yeah, it's really pretty. It's like coming out of a clamshell. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, I love that.

I don't know if she was coming out of a clamshell, but she was posed that way. But whatever. And he presented them to the city. His only request was that the one of Mona had to stand alone and it must be treated the best out of all the statues. That's pretty adorable. Yeah, it's really adorable.

He wanted to make sure that the statue was kept up with and that whatever grounds it was placed on also be kept up with. So the city in New Orleans was like, hell yeah. And they placed Mona statue. That's a direct quote. city of New Orleans was like, hell yeah, and they placed monastatu, that's a direct quote. Collectively they were like, hell yeah, hell yeah, philanthropy. And then they placed monastatu on a pedestal in the center of a cul-de-sac at the end

of a mile-long road slash like walkway. So everything went well at first, and Mon's father was really happy that they treated him nicely and they put her statue up and they were treating it nice. But then teenagers ruined everything like they typically do. They often do. That's what I said. And then I was like, if anybody gets mad at me, I was a teenager like four seconds ago. So don't yell at me. Anyway, the coldest acts out by itself and the roads surrounding it became an area for teens to kind of like hook up Like a lover's lane kind of deal Oh good enough. Oh good enough. I love her's lane. Did people do that?

Necking. Yeah, that's what I was calling. Oh my god. I know that reminds me of that fucking movie Pleasantville. Oh yeah, that's my favorite movie. Oh, all right people walk. Oh, that makes me sad. Oh, I heard some heart. Oh god So one night something went wrong and there was a car crash And the car ended up crashing right into the base of Mona statue, and Mona went flying and smashed to pieces. Uh-oh. Not good. The pieces of Mona were put away somewhere, but the statue has never been put back together.

And after that night, the teens making out in the cold Azac had an unwanted visitor from then on. Inside note, pieces of Mona is a great band name. Yeah. Yeah. And also just reminds me of that Ashley Simpson song. Oh, wow. Pieces of me. I used to fuck with that song heavy. Also, let's talk about the time that I wrote Brokogan fan mail anyways.. Anyways. Uh, that's the best. I am trash. But, so yeah, now they see Mona all the time.

So people whose cars are parked near where Mona Statue was ruined, they say that they see a woman dressed in white. Always. Which I'm like, could that be Mona ready for like the wedding that she never got to have? Oh shit. That's my fucking theory. I love it. And she typically floats up by the passenger side window. Scratch is on the window. Oh shit. That's my fucking theory. I love it. And she typically floats up by the passenger

side window. Scratches on the window. Oh. Look super sad. Oh. Maybe moans. Oh, no. And then she's gone just as fast as it all started. That's that's simply unpleasant. Yeah, it's just not fun. It's not pleasant. I don't even know it. I just feel like wow wow that was an unpleasant experience. That's what yeah I would shit my fucking pants if an apparition Pops up next to your damn passenger side door and it was like scratch scratch Sad face. I would be like I'm done here. I feel like that. This is very Unplugged. I would be done forever. I am dissatisfied with this experience. I would rate this as zero enough to it on y'all Ten out of ten don't do that. So the saddest part is that eventually the area became overgrown and now the cold to sack is gone. Oh shit.

Yeah. Um, it just stopped and left. Well, no, they just like, it's like, bye, like it's just not a cold to sack anymore. It's like, bye. The cold to sack was like, bye, but that's pretty much it for that variation of the story. But I did read one where the sailor was like this piece of shit dude who tricked Mona into sleeping with him. Oh, no. And then had like no plans of actually marrying her. And when he left her, she got so upset that he ended up

killing her because she was like freaking out so bad. And now the story says, as revenge, she kills a teenage boy the same way she was killed, getting tossed into the lagoon. If he, like while he's out with his lady. Oh shit. But most of the stories are just like the one where she floats up by the window. So I think that's, that one's just for funzees.

That one's just for funzees that she murders a young boy. Yeah. I didn't see any like reports of young boys that being tossed into the room. They're like floating in the lagoon. That's crazy shit. Imagine Mona on a rampage. I love a woman's scorned. and see any like reports of young boys that being tossed into the ramp like floating in the blue. Crazy shit. Imagine Mona on a rampage. I love a woman scorned. Listen, if I was taken out that way, yeah, I'd be taking out other people. Yeah, you better believe. Come on to my lagoon bitch.

Come on, I love that. Thank you. Well, my next one and my last one is church Hill in Tennessee. And I'm actually going to be concentrating on the Senseba tunnel. Now the Senseba tunnel is located just off Big Elm Road in King's Sport Tennessee and it's on a remote back road and very very remote and dark so it is not recommended you go there alone. Apparently according to some sources, locals will wait

and try to scare people. Oh, that sounds like fun. I would do that. I would totally do that. People in the area believe this tunnel is literally an evil place. Oh, good. And it's straight up looks evil. Most tunnels I feel are evil. Yeah, this one's super evil. It's like built into a hill side. Oh. Yeah, and the trees all grew in like a canopy around the mouth of it.

Oh, that's spooky. Yeah, and it's an all-disrepair and this graffiti all over it. Like it's really creepy looking. Yeah, and graffiti and I'm creeped. And you know what, it was built in the roaring 1920s. Oh, sweetie, is that a theme? It's a theme.

We're all spooky and all some stuff happens. This legend says that the land did belong to the Senseba family, and they lived close by in a farm, unlike a farmhouse, a small ways away. Now, one night Edward Senseba is said to have just up and murdered his whole family. As one does. He just woke up and he was like,

I'm crazy. And then he just killed everybody. You know, that's what happened. And that was including his newborn baby. That's not funny at all. That's awful. Now, let me just put this out there. I did not find any newspaper articles to back this up.

This is the legend. So let's hope that the newborn babies were killed during the maintenance. Most of this is legend. Yeah, I just want to be clear. Like we're being silly because these are legends. Right. Just want to put that out there. So this guy is a real shit stain on the surface of the galaxy if this was true. He then went and threw all of their bodies into the creek that is inside the tunnel.

Okay. This water is now known as crybaby pool. Oh, God. Yeah. Then they say he killed himself in the tunnel. Okay. So a lot of shit went down. Jesus Christ. Now along with this whole thing, there's a legend that a woman who's driving home one night during a bad thunderstorm, her car broke down in the tunnel. Of course. And she walked up towards the Sense of A Home for help and no one ever saw her again.

Oh. The Sense of Oz. That's weird. They don't sound very sensible. They don't. Well, I mean, the guy doesn't. Oh, the sense of Oz. That's weird. They don't sound very sensible. They don't. Well, I mean, the guy doesn't. No, he doesn't. The sightings and reports of haunting

started around the 1950s or the 1960s. And apparently, it's said that if you drive into the remote tunnel, stop in the middle of it and turn off your car just Pandemonium occurs. Yeah, why would you fucking do that? Like straight up Pandemonium you're just asking for shit otherwise. Like there's so much pant like the earth just starts like twerking in space. That's how Pandemonium stop stop You just rocked that analogy. This is literally what that's how crazy should I. I just pictured the earth growing a booty and twerk twerk twerk twerk twerk twerk twerk

twerk twerk. That's exactly what I pictured. Mars is like in the background like don't stop, but that don't stop. What you twerk it with. And if you take that out, I'll murder you. I will not. I won't take it out. So that's how much pandemonium occurs when you drive into this tunnel. What happened? You don't have to mention. When you do this, first your car will not start again. Oh, yeah. So automatically no.

Yeah. So right away, this is a bad idea with an outcome that is clearly stated. And you are the driver of your own destiny. So if you choose to do this shit, you're stupid. So your car is dead. And then you will see this dude creeping all up on you in the river. You're no, yeah. This dude is sense of law.

Yeah. And he murdered his whole family. So that's an unwelcome guest. Yep. Luckily, as he comes closer to your vehicle, it'll magically restart again. And you fucking high-telling out of there. Well, not before you hear maniac laughing, a woman screaming, and a baby crying. Uh, pandemonium. So your ass is sitting in a stalled car in the middle of an old ass haunted, while some ancient dead murderer comes at you,

someone laughs like a maniac, a woman screams and a baby cries. I would stroke the fuck out. Who signs up for that? I would stroke my way out of there. I would just not do that. Like, here's a solution, no. No, you couldn't pay me enough money.

No, fuck that. No, it's also said that no one can walk through the tunnel at midnight from the entrance to the end without going mad or being attacked. Yeah. Why would you want to? So like, don't do that. I feel like I saw this on an episode.

Remember that those old shows that used to play at ABC Family around like, like, like, Haunt most haunted places on earth? Yeah, and it was like a kid that fucking narrated it. Cause kids have to have creepy voices. I loved it. There's also graffiti and quote unquote satanic symbols all over the inside of the tunnel. And there are no lights.

Like no light. No light. cars don't have their headlights on. Oh, geez. That's how dark it is in those. Why does anybody want, why is there no lights in there? Can we talk to the town of this shit? And it's in like super disrepair. Like super disrepair. That's scary.

Now during the construction of the tunnel, there was actually an accident that caused a massive explosion when it was first built, and it killed seven workers in the tunnel. Oh, really? And we're talking like gruesome, bloody mess of an accident that caused a massive explosion when it was first built. And it killed seven workers in the tunnel. Oh really? And we're talking like gruesome bloody mess of an accident. Like, this is not easy to make that. Explicit. Like gruesome.

Now, in those days, it was pretty common that in the case of a fatal accident during like construction, the foreman would just have the bodies buried right where they were. Ooh. Because in the construction, and it was either in the construction site, or they would bury them alongside the construction site. Yeah. This saved time and money. And unfortunately, usually in these like olden days, they were immigrants who were working these construction jobs. So one, they were poor and two, they were just kind of like forgotten about. It's really helpful. I know it's upsetting. It's fuck. But like, that's why they would just bury the bodies there

because they were like moving on. Like, yeah. So no one is sure if these bodies were actually buried in this site or at a nearby poppers grave, either way, they would be right near the tunnel. And honestly, this is just a perfect recipe for a ghost or seven. Or in 10 10 or 10.

And that's why people will say that they see like, you know, they see like demonic figures in there. They see that they'll see men like all brutalized in there, like the men that died in there. Jesus. They'll hear like screaming. Sometimes they'll hear an explosion, like off in the distance. Can ways take you an alternate route?

I would hope so. I mean, it's built right in the side of a fucking hill, so I don't know how you would get around it, but just drive over the hill. Just drive over the hill to grandma's house. So yeah, so that's what I have for a sense of autunnel. Thanks for that. And if I, and, by the way, if anybody lives in these areas that we're talking about right now, and you have anything that you want us to like pop into the next episode about this,

to like update headline, send it to us. What did I say the headline was? Fucked up roads. Fucked up roads. Send it. So my last one is kind of short, sweet to the point, but love that. I'll do it. It's road or excuse me, I'm an idiot.

Road. Is it route or route what do you say route okay it's route 2a and main and it's another one that came up in almost every fucking search I did for spooky ass roads spook spook what I typed into Google spooky ass roads spooky ass roads sorry it was like did you mean uh the haunted part of the road is a super spooppy stretch of woods called Haynesville Woods. Spooops, spooops, spooops. I'm obsessed with that. I am too.

The road itself is really well known because of all the fatal car crashes that have happened there. Ooh, fun. And it's a really bad road in the winter months especially because there's one super sharp curve. Apparently it's like a 90 degree curve, which like, oh shit. I don't know geometry, but that sharp. It's pretty sharp curve. Apparently it's like a 90 degree curve, which like, oh shit. I don't know geometry, but that sharp, it's pretty sharp curve. So it's a right ass angle. Like that is a right ass angle.

It's a right ass angle. I didn't know if it was 90 or 95. No, 90. But I didn't take the SATs. You got it. I did. Which I'm sure that contributes to a lot of the crashes that I would say on the road.

So if you've ever heard the song, A Tombstone Every Mile, by Dick Curlyce or Curlyce, I'm sorry. Not sure which. Well, he's a country singer, so that's why I've never heard of it. But that's how you've heard about Route 2, because Dick used to be a truck driver, and this road inspired him to write that song, which at one point says, it's a stretch of road up north and main that's never ever seen a smile. If they buried all them truckers lost in them woods, there'd be a tombstone every mile. Oh my god, that's so sad. That's horrible.

That's just truckers getting lost. That's really sad. Well, because it's always snowing in Maine. I know, that's real sad. And then the sharp curve. So it's like there was like a just shit ton of fucking fatal car accidents. He's sad. That's sad. And especially back before I night, especially back before I 95 was built, truckers would drive through route 2A carrying potatoes mostly. Potatoes.

Yes, we talked a lot about potato times episode. But sadly, a lot of them never made it to deliver them. Oh, shit. So the two most popular ghosts spotted on this road are both women. So the first one is a woman who appears suddenly and seemingly out of nowhere. And if you stop to offer her a ride, she'll accept. She'll get in. But as soon as she gets into the car with you, you'll feel a sudden burst of cool. Ooh. Different than the Ember Wave.

Like a spooky cool. I was gonna say she's just an air conditioner. She's just an Ember Wave bracelet. No, like a spooky cool. And as soon as you get close to the end of the Hainesville Woods area, she just disappears from the car altogether. Yeah, she's just gone, so. Shit.

Yep. People explain the apparition as the ghost of a woman who was driving with her husband one day and apparently they were newlyweds, which is really sad. I don't know, they always are. I know. And the car's been out of control and hit a pole. And her husband died on impact, but the woman was ejected from the car.

And she died due to the elements because she got buried in snow. Oh, yeah, it's horrible. What a way to go. I know. Diet love pass, what up? Yeah, exactly. So that's her. And then the second ghost is the ghost of a young girl.

Who many people think is a 10 year old girl. That was actually, this is like actually happened. She was trucking killed by a truck while she and her friend were walking one day down the road. And the story's pretty much the same. You offer her a ride. And if she accepts, she gets in the car. You get super cold.

So they see on you. She has a long back crost. And then as soon as you get to the end of Haynesville Road, she fuck it, or would she disappear from the car altogether? That's like how every AC window unit works. It just gives you this quick blast of air and then when you need it the most it just shuts down.

Yeah, there you go. So the Haynesville Woods are spooky as fuck. I'm gonna do it. It's the way it means. Damn, isn't that song? I read gonna ruin it. Way in Maine. Damn. Isn't that song? I didn't, I read like most of it when I was researching and I was like,

damn, that's a spooky as song. A spooky as song and it's really sad. Damn. Well, those were fun. Those were fun. Yeah, we're gonna do more of these guys. Good job, Alina. Let us know which ones you want to hear
