Stay Away From Maine’s Most Haunted Road After Dark

Maine is filled with history and ghost stories that will fill you to the brim with nightmares and if you are anything like us and enjoy jump scares then this journey is for you.

Did you know that Route 2A through Haynesville Woods in Maine, is super haunted?

You think of the word "haunted" and you picture houses, churches, or structures, but never roads.

This time it’s the trees, the pavement and the haunted wind that I’m talking about. It’s located in Norther Maine and it’s a long rural stretch of road in Aroostook County.

It looks charming and peaceful during that day, with lovely trees lining the sides of the road and complete silence in every direction. But when the dark hits, and the sun sets, so does your calming peace of mind.  

According to the Travelers Field Guide, the trees don't only whisper, they watch. This road is highly known for it’s deadly turns and ghost-filled legends. This road has earned one of the creepiest reputations, of being Maine’s most haunted.  

Here’s why..  

The road was a main route for truckers that were hauling potatoes, and this is before I-95 took over. The road becomes extremely dangerous though the winter months due to being narrow and winding.

So dangerous that it even inspired a country song by Dick Curless called “A Tombstone Every Mile.”
