Which I'm so excited because I've never been to any of these places before, by the way.
So this is I've been to New York. The New York show is sold out, but I've never been to Philly, never been to D.C.
Super excited to see these places. Where else haven't you been?
Where else haven't I been? Oh, just Nashville, Tennessee.
Well, guess what? We're going on May 7th and we're going to be.

Why do you guys like us? we love you guys thank you so much for buying tickets to see us it's unreal it's crazy And so, yeah.
And the more we sell, the more shows we're going to get to do.
So... Actually, if we sell out all of these shows, we will be probably announcing another one, I bet.
Yeah, I think one's on the horizon, so...
Go get them, guys. Coming up with the sunrise.
Do it. We're also going to be at CrimeCon.
Fuck yeah. I'm so excited for CrimeCon. Guys, CrimeCon is like my pinnacle.
It was like my apex. I have been saying this to anybody that will listen to me.
All I want to do at CrimeCon, this is my only dream, and I hope they're listening.
They're probably not, but... I want to take a picture with Nancy Grace and Keith Morrison.
I want to be sandwiched in the middle and I want to entitle it, aka caption it, Crime Con with Mom and Dad.
I love that. This needs to happen. I need it to make it happen.
At Nancy Grace, at Keith Morrison. Mom, dad, make it happen.
Make it happen. Come on now. Thank you. I also want to just meet Keith Morrison because I love him.
Hell yeah. And Billy Jenkins is high on my list.
Yep. But you know. Enough of that. I think, guys, by the way, if we are slap happy tonight.
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. dab at motherhood and help Elena 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.
Well, and 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 in her back legs.
So we were at Urgent Care Vet Hospital all night and now we're recording an episode.
And last night we were up all night and I have one quick more thing, 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, Elena's skinny ass just pops up out of nowhere, all up in my face. eyes bulging out of her head jaw locked and i literally look at her and 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? And 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 late like 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 i was like if i did if i was a serial killer that's the last thing everybody would see 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.
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 it, y'all.
She did. This is a really cool idea that you came up with.
So we decided to do we're going to make this like a big, long series, but it's not going to be like a sequential series.
We're going to do it here and there. We're going to sprinkle it into the orb.
Sprinkle it on in. So we're thinking we're going to do...
Spookiest, haunted, most messed up roads in America.
I like to call it fucked up roads fucked up roads u.s edition also i was thinking we will definitely take this out of the u.s 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 going to be doing way more, but what I want you guys to do, if you are so inclined... is send us your spooky road tales like if you know you live hey you live in chicago send me your spooky ass road tale You live in Tennessee.
Send me that spooky ass road tale. How did you come up with those two places?
I don't know. Right off the top of my head.
But so what we want to do is we want to kind of like 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 tales and just kind of use them as...
You know, just little sprinklings in. So if you want to send it 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 Tales.
With the headline fucked up roads. Exactly.
You have to write that. Oh my God. 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.
And my first road tonight is the San Antonio Ghost Tracks.
Tell me everything, Biatch. I'm ready. So these ghost tracks are at the intersection of Villamain and Chain Roads.
The legend says that sometime during the 1930s, some shit went down that makes this particular railroad track haunted as fuck. i feel like all railroad tracks are haunted as fuck i feel like they should be at least yeah they all even if they aren't it's like just be haunted why aren't you haunted why aren't you haunted What the fuck are you doing?
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 schoolchildren arrived 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.
Ten students and the driver were killed by the train.
I'm getting, like, Ed 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, oh. I mean, hauntings typically start with, like, a bummer event.
Yeah, it's usually not a happy thing that leads to a haunting, I feel.
And you know what? That did give me Ed vibes.
It did. Yeah, right? trying to save everybody 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 now again in the 1930s a nun is driving a bus inexplicably 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 its headlight had burnt out.
So apparently, despite the loud train noise and possible whistles, the nun 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 in half.
Oh shit. Yeah. No joke. The nun went flying.
This is the crazy part. You're like, LOL, the nun went flying out the window.
Ha ha ha. Well, let me preface this by saying there are no news articles that say that this actually happened.
This is just folklore. This is folklore.
And it's it's just it's we're going to get it.
I already know. We're getting an email that's like you guys are.
Exactly. And you know what? Let me answer the email now.
No, I'm not. 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 a happy ending.
She went launching out the windshield into the darkness.
Stop motioning with your hand. It's so bizarre.
I keep motioning like, you know how nuns launch.
But everyone else in the bus died. Dead as every dead animal that has ever died.
Great comparison. Love that. Did anyone catch that?
That is a Dwight Schrute quote. Oh, okay.
I had that one right over my head. I'm a Parks and Rec 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 he's like he's dead dead as any dead animal that has ever died Oh, 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.
With the hand motions. The nun is wracked with survivor guilt.
Oh, yeah. Because she's the only one that survived.
So she goes back to the tracks and is determined to take her own life because she can't.
She just can't live with it. it wasn't your fault sis I know I was like 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 did.
She was driving. We're killed. 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.
Sign me right the fuck out of AIM. Well, then her car begins to be pushed off the tracks.
Oh my god, full bod chills. 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 good Samaritan.
Right, 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 thank them.
This is amazing. And no one's there. No one's around.
So now she's like, what the fuck? She didn't say that, though.
I mean, she probably said like, Oh my word.
What's this? Yeah. Oh my word sounds better.
Yeah. 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, harumph. Harumph!
And... now so she's leaning against the car she looks over and suddenly she sees something on the car What are they?
Tiny child-sized 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. pieces. Hopefully peacefully in her bed.
Yeah. Yeah. Just living her best life. I don't know why I just said it like that.
Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Like, yes, I agree. Well, sweetie.
So that's the legend. That's all. That's what that's, you know, that's it.
That's the tale. That's the tea. 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, you're fucking stupid.
Yeah. It says don't do that. 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...
Aren't there child labor law instances? 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 there. maybe children are just working in factories in the hereafter like oh goodness i hope not i don't know i don't either i have not been You act like I asked you.
You're like, I don't know. Why are you asking 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 imprints.
And there are like... there's accounts of people saying like i saw the hands in the baby powder that's wild 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 not here but you know i like the part where they save I like the part where they saved the nun.
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, bitches.
Nah. No. Nah. Let them rest. Let them chill.
Yeah. Let them rip. Let those babies rip.
Let those babies 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 too much. 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 going to tell you about clinton road in new jersey oh i've heard of clinton road um 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 that so i'm gonna give you like a quick geographical lesson love that geographical is a word right sure is okay cool Glad I'm here for it.
Clinton Road is about 10 miles long and it goes through the town of West Medford in 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.
Yes, I would 100% do that if I was living in the early 1900s in the woods.
Yeah, I mean, 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 me. Anyways, Richard Cross built the castle for his family in 1905.
And it sounds like it was fucking lit at that castle.
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, that little thing? Yeah, that's all.
Yeah, just a little extra lamb. Just America.
Sat on America. It just sat on America. I mean, that was it, actually.
It did. Sadly, Richard passed away in 1917.
R.I.P. Richard. Rip Richard. And a few years later, the family sold the property to the city of Newark.
Newark. I can't talk. 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 Corpsewood Manor.
I know. I was thinking that the whole time.
It's a bummer. But it had a little fun. Ooh.
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 worshippers.
Love that form. I don't hate that at all.
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 Covens.
Love that. Fuck yeah. I just. So you know what?
That's like that's a shit sandwich because it's like the bun. yeah is great but the meat no no not good at all rancid as fuck the kkk is rancid as fuck That's some dog shit in the middle.
But Covens, Corner Calling Covens. Love that.
Alliteration, here for it. Yes. North, south, east, west.
Satanic worship. Go for it. But graffiti covered the walls at one point.
And 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 in 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 like it was a deep blue i'm just kidding it was like a burgundy color it was not a mauve it said lex santicus What the fuck does that mean?
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 it.
I was just gonna say let's not summon any demons yeah I wasn't 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. Santicus 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 striped strange jungle animals like monkeys in the woods surrounding 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.
I definitely don't. Oh, you don't? Okay.
No, I just, I was like taking context clues that it was a spooky like jungle circus.
Oh, I thought you knew what it was. Because it was like around the time, no, it wasn't around the time that you grew up at all.
Girl. I almost just called you like 40 something.
I am 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 not, but the Warner Brothers opened up Jungle Kingdom, which was...
It wasn't a zoo. They brought in all these animals like lions and tigers and elephants.
Oh, my. and bears 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, and multiple monkey escapes.
Yeah, that doesn't seem like a good track record in a couple years.
That'll do it. One lion attack is really time to call it quits.
Let's just close the doors on that idea.
Let's just throw a 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.
Oh, I love that. Love that. Like cool concept, but you could definitely see how that would lead to a lot of accidents.
Oh, 100%. Like the time that a man in the backseat of a tacky, a tacky?
That tacky. A taxi 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 a wild animal.
And they're like, I'm just going to roll it down real quick.
It's fine. It'll be different. It's probably fine.
But back to the hauntings. After Jungle Kingdom 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 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. Other people say. That's terrible.
I know. I doubt that actually happened. I really hope that didn't happen because I just had a vision of that and it made me real sad.
Yeah, sad, sad, yeah. Don't picture it.
But other people say that they just sold their remaining animals to different zoos and shit around the world.
Well, I'm probably just in America. 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?
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 climate.
They couldn't survive the winter. Yeah, that makes sense. sense like i forget um 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 exactly yeah they're out supposed to be in fucking New Jersey.
No. But yeah so they did leave the 30 dead animal carcasses through the winter.
So if you're not thinking like Pet Sematary, 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 don't know about that. Sweetie. Mm-mm.
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 a New Jersey accent a little bit.
It was. The water. The water. The water. just past what they call dead man's curve oh okay casual yeah there's a few variations on the story so it's kind of like a choose your own adventure love those those goosebumps are my favorite but except like you don't get to choose the ghost boy chooses oh not as fun So you'll throw a coin into the water and the boy will either throw it back at you.
Oh, that's fine. uh, 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 The yellow lines, like in between the yellow lines on the pavement.
That's spooky as fuck. Spooky as 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 did. It was like he might give you back your coin. or 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 the outcome of that is wasting his time You are.
Ogre? He doesn't want your coins. He doesn't want your coins.
That's why he's throwing it back at you.
When is he going to spend that coin? Aww.
He's like, oh, cool, a quarter. I'd buy some gum, but I'm in the hereafter.
So we don't have gum. Hubba Bubba. Right up your ass.
Right up your ass. What I'll leave you with for Clinton Road is that one of the victims of the Iceman, Richard... kuklinski thank you so much was found alongside the road in 1983
So how is that for a doozy Clinton Road?
That's a doozy. And you know what? We're going to cover the Iceman 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 all 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 Luce.
Oh, my. That's weird. Sorry. Don't love that.
So this usually kind of revolves around a place called the O. Henry Ballroom.
Ooh, Henry. Henry. This O. Henry ballroom was later turned into the Willowbrook ballroom.
And in October 2016, it burned down. That's never good.
That's real sad. Is that where the haunting started?
No, it started way before that, actually.
Now, the legend has a few versions, as all good legends do.
I love that. One says that a woman was dancing at the O. 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 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 to bootleg with me? It'll be so much fun.
You wouldn't bootleg. You'd just be like, well, I don't drink anyways.
Let's do it. I'm excited. If anybody just saw Elena's jazz hand.
I did like a flapper move. Just one jazz hand.
I wish you said just one. I'm tired. So yeah, a woman was dancing at the O. Henry Ballroom sometime in the roaring 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 duh. The emphasis. So much. So sometimes they throw a fight in with like a lover before the death.
You have to. Because you have to. uh and that just adds to like the spook factor it's like sustenance it is it's just it's nutrition it's the meat and potatoes we're so tired i'm like that's it's nutrition That makes sense.
Yeah, it's fine. Whatever. Either way you spin 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 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 take her home.
Yeah. They do have several accounts of this 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 spooktastic. When they drive past the resurrection cemetery, she suddenly disappears before their very eyes.
She's like, I got to go 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 want to 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 chilis i would do that if i if i like tow it up at like the places that I tear it up at and then I like unfortunately kicked it on the way home and I would go back to, like, cask and flagon, 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 into the Texas.
Yes. Barefoot. Holding my shoes. That's the way to give an 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 dancing shoes. okay why is every ghost wearing a white dress well i don't know man i don't either it's pure i mean yeah i don't know But usually she's hitchhiking along the side of Archer Road.
They're always hitchhiking. 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.
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 Bombas makes the most comfortable socks, underwear and T-shirts.

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 meat to Willa.
Yep. Absolutely. You should leave that in.
That's just broke. Just meat and potatoes.
Just to fuck with her. So some people think that this Resurrection Mary, as they call her, is the ghost of a girl named Anna Norcus.
Okay. She was only that now this is a real girl.
There's 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.
Thing is, she was buried in St. Casimir Cemetery, according to her funeral record.
Yeah, she's not it. And that seems to count her out, right?
Because why would she be asking to go home in another cemetery?
Right. Seems silly, but there is a caveat to this part of the legend.
Okay, hit me up. A man named Frank Andre.
I'm going to butcher this name and I apologize because I believe he just died in 2018.
So that's really nice. This is a really tough name.
Andresish? Andresish. Yeah. You know what?
Frank. He did unbelievable research about this legend and like tons of research.
He's the guy you want to go to for this.
And he made a great point. You see, in the roaring 20s... Jazz hand.
Jazz hand. Grave digging was not the glamorous, easy gig it is today.
Total sarcasm, just letting you know. I was like, what is it?
It's never been a glamorous or easy gig.
I've never heard anyone say that before.
But it was even worse back then, which is hard to believe.
Yeah. There were often strikes, like gravediggers would go on strike a lot because of the terrible conditions.
Right. And 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 gravedigger 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 the 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 wasn't moved 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 put in a wooden box and just stuck in a temporary grave unmarked.
I would be. Fucking rip shit. I'm saying.
So the most recent owners of the Willowbrook Ballroom actually had a copy of her funeral certificate on the wall in their office, of course. according to the Chicago Tribune, because they do believe it was her.
Yeah. of resurrection mary was by a man named uh jerry palace in 1939 he's like famous for this He danced with a beautiful woman at the O. 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.
Polish descent, 18 or 19 years old. She is wearing a white or pale dancing dress and slippers.
She is very rarely seen by a woman. Oh, 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 columnist 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.
Okay. 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 very thin white dress.
Mm-hmm. Wow. Blackness. Now, there are 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 Brigovi.
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 O. Henry Ballroom. okay there you have it seems to fit yeah so there is a song by a local singer in the area named uh 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 Chet's Melody Lounge. which is a bar located directly across from Resurrection Cemetery.
Ooh, I would want to go there. Yeah, and they kind of, like, lean into this there, which is cool.
Hell yeah, you gotta. And the owner, Rich Pruszynski, 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 night's out on the town.
Oh my God. He said it disappears sometimes, but that could be just because it's a free Bloody Mary.
Mary. Um, so that's the tale of resurrection.
Mary. And on Archer Avenue in Chicago. 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 a street anymore, but at one point it was, and it was haunted as fuck, okay?
So it counts. It works. Thank you. In what is now New Orleans City Park, there used to be a statue of a beautiful young woman named Mona.
Oh, not named Elena? No. Oh, okay. Not named Elena or Ash Bona.
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 ficus.
I want you to... When 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. press that she committed suicide by jumping into the lagoon yeah i like the first one better i do 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...
The statue has her posed like the birth of Venus, if you know what that looks like.
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 of New Orleans was like, hell yeah, and they placed him on a statue.
That's a direct quote. Collectively, they were like, hell yeah.
Hell yeah, philanthropy. And then they placed Mona's statue 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 Mona's father was really happy that they treated him nicely and they put our statue up and they were treating it nice.
But then teenagers ruined everything like they typically do.
As they often do. That's what I said. And 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 cul-de-sac sat by itself and the road surrounding it became an area for teens to kind of like hook up like a lover's lane kind of deal hooking up hooking up at lover's lane did people do that necking yeah that's what it's called oh my god i know that reminds me of that fucking movie uh pleasantville Oh, yeah.
That's my favorite movie. RIP Paul Walker.
Oh, that makes me sad. Oh, that hurts my 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's 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 cul-de-sac Had an unwanted visitor from then on.
And side note, Pieces of Mona is a great band name.
Yeah. Yeah. And also just reminds me of that Ashley Simpson song.
Wow. Wow. I used to fuck with that song heavy.
You did. Also, let's talk about the time that I wrote Brooke Hogan fan mail.
Anyways. Ash is the best. I am trash. But so yeah, now they see Mona all the time.
So people whose cars are parked near where Mona's statue was ruined.
They say that they see a woman dressed in white.
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 Scratches on the window Oh Looks 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. I'd just be like, wow, that was unpleasant. unpleasant experience that's what I would shit my fucking pants if an apparition popped 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's, this is very unpleasant.
I would be done forever. I am dissatisfied with this experience.
I would rate this a 0 out of 10 on Yelp.
10 out of 10, don't do that. So the saddest part is that eventually the area became overgrown.
And now the cul-de-sac is gone. Oh, shit.
Yeah. It just stopped and left? Well, no.
It's like, bye. It's just not a cul-de-sac anymore.
It's like... the cul-de-sac 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 this story says... As revenge, she kills a teenage boy the same way she was killed, getting tossed into the lagoon.
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 one's just for funsies. That one's just for funsies that she murders a young boy.
Yeah, I didn't see any reports of young boys. being tossed into the river like floating in the lagoon that'd be 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 to my lagoon. I loved 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 Sensabaugh Tunnel.
Now the Sensabaugh Tunnel is located just off Big Elm Road in Kingsport, 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.
So 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 straight up looks evil.
Most tunnels, I feel, are evil. Yeah, this one's super evil.
It's like built into a hillside. Ooh. Yeah.
And there's like and the trees all grew in like a canopy around the mouth of it.
Oh, that's spooky. Yeah. And it's an old disrepair and there's graffiti all over it.
Like it's really creepy. Yeah. Add graffiti and I'm creeped.
And you know what? It was built in the roaring 1920s.
Sweetie, is that a theme? It's a theme where all spooky and awesome stuff happens.
This legend says that the land did belong to the Sensaba family.
And they lived close by in a farm, on like a farmhouse, a small ways away.
Now, one night, Edward Sensabaugh, 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 That's what happened.
And that was including his newborn baby.
Oh, that's not. funny 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 no newborn babies were killed during the making of this.
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.
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 and she walked up towards the sensaba home for help and no one ever saw her again oh the sensaba's that's weird they don't sound very sensible they don't well i mean the guy doesn't no he doesn't The town of Agde in France is famous for sun, sand, sea and sex.
But lately, life on the coast has taken a strange turn.
The town's mayor, a respected pillar of the community, has been arrested for corruption.
His wife claims he's been bewitched by a beautiful clairvoyant.
Then there's the mysterious phone calls that local people have been getting.
I am the Archangel Michael. The whole town has been thrown into chaos.
As the mayor is unable to carry out his duties, I would like to address you all.
Legal proceedings have been initiated. Join me, Anna Richardson, and journalist Leo Schick for The Mystic and the Mayor as we investigate a story of power, corruption and magic.

The sightings and reports of hauntings started around the 1950s or the 1960s.
And apparently it 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 at that point like there's so much like the earth just starts like twerking in space that's how pandemonium stop stop you just rocked that analogy it's this is literally what that's how crazy shit I just pictured the Earth growing a booty and twerk, twerk, twerk, twerk, twerk, twerk, twerk.
That's exactly what I pictured. Mars is like in the background like, don't stop. pop that don't stop what you twerking 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 and turn off your engine.
What happens? When you do this, first, your car will not start again.
Oh, yeah. So automatically, no. don't do that 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 rearview mirror.
No. Yeah. This dude is sensible. 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 hightail it out of there.
Well, not before you hear maniacal laughing, a woman screaming, and a baby crying.
Pandemonium. So your ass is sitting in a stalled car in the middle of an old ass haunted tunnel.
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 Now, 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 on abc family around like like haunt most haunted place yeah and it was like a kid that fucking narrated it because 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 tunnel.
So cars will drive through and honk their horns the entire way through to make sure other cars know they're coming.
In case other cars don't have their headlights on.
Oh, Jesus. That's how dark it is in those.
Why does anybody want... Why is there no lights in there?
Is this like old and 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.
Explosions are typically gruesome. Now, in those days, it was pretty common that in the case of a fatal accident during construction, The foreman would just have the bodies buried right where they were.
Because 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.
That's really awful. I know it's upsetting as 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 pauper's grave.
Yeah. Either way, they would be right near the tunnel.
And honestly, this is just a perfect recipe for a ghost or seven.
Or 10 or 10. And that's why people 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 ways to you an alternate route i would hope so i mean it's built right in the side of a hill so i don't know how you would get around it but Drive over the hill.
Just drive over the hill. To Grandma's house.
So yeah, so that's what I have for Sensaba Tunnel.
Thanks for that. 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. 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 it's road is it route or route what do you say root okay it's root 2a in maine and it's another one that came up in almost every fucking search i did for spooky ass roots Spook spook.
That's what I typed into Google. Spooky ass roads.
Spooky ass roads. Siri was like, did you mean?
The haunted part of the road is a super spoopy stretch of woods called Haynesville Woods.
Ooh, spoop, spoop, spoop. 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's sharp.
It's a pretty sharp curve. It's almost a right ass angle.
I think that is a right ass angle. It is a right ass angle.
I didn't know if it was 90 or 95. No, 90.
I didn't take the SATs. You got it. I did.
Which I'm sure that that contributes to a lot of the crashes.
Yeah, I would say so. So if you've ever heard the song A Tombstone Every Mile by Dick Curless or Curless.
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 2A 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 in maine 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.
Just truckers getting lost? That's really sad.
It's always snowing in I know that's real sad.
And then the sharp curve. So it's like there was like a shit ton of fucking fatal car accidents.
It's sad. And especially back before I-95 was built, truckers would drive through Route 2A carrying potatoes mostly.
Yeah, we've talked a lot about potatoes on this episode.
But sadly, a lot of them never made it to deliver them.
Oh, shit. 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.
Different than the Ember Wave. Like a spooky cool.
I was going to say, so 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 Haynesville Woods area, she just disappears from the car altogether.
Oh, shit. She's just gonzo. 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.
Oh no, they always are. I know. and the car spun 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 struck and killed by a truck and, While she and her friend were walking one day down the road.
And the story is pretty much the same. You offer her a ride.
And if she accepts, she gets in the car.
You get super cold. She blows some AC on you. she's like oh i'm jack frost and then as soon as you get to the end of haynesville road she fucking or woods she disappears 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 Hainesville woods are spooky as fuck on Route 2A in Maine.
Damn. Isn't that song? I read most of it when I was researching and I was like, damn.
That's a spooky-ass song. It's a spooky-ass song and it's really sad.
Damn. Well, those were fun. Those were fun.
Yeah, we're going to do more of these guys.
Good job, Alina. Let us know which ones you want to hear.
And send us your spooky road stories that you have.
With the headline, fucked up roads. Fucked up roads.
And you know what? Even if you're outside of the U S for all our beautiful international listeners, listeners, Send us your spooky roads because I'll definitely go as far as we can with this because these are fun.
And we'll do it like we do. You know, like we'll just kind of throw one of these episodes in every few episodes.
So give it to us. It was fun. to do it's fun to research yeah and i found a bunch that i was like oh i want to do that one and i want to do that one yeah but then i was like i can't do 47 on one episode no definitely not so we'll we'll stretch these out a while so we hope you guys liked this one There is going to be another batch of listener stories this week.
And then next week's case is going to be a special New Year's Eve massacre.
New Year's Eve massacre? Just kidding. A special Christmas Eve massacre.
Like we said, we're tired. We are tired.
But yeah, so chew on that. Think about what that could be.
Slice those potatoes open. Slice the potatoes.
Guys, also, we said it in the beginning, but just quickly again, if you want to come out to Philly, D.C., Nashville, Florida for CrimeCon, grab your tickets.
Most I don't know about crime con tickets, but a lot of them are selling out super fast for the live shows.
