including car radio turning on and off as well as phones and other electronics
not working properly while in this area. Furthermore, while driving on this
road many experience sudden loss of concentration as well as the phenomenon of
an unknown force pulling the car in the opposite direction. All of these reports
are just the tip of the iceberg making the following experiences really

have witnessed apparitions of black shadows walking down the road. The
strangest apparitions reported include those of random full figure people appearing
and disappearing out of nowhere in the middle of the road. Sadly, this phenomenon

As always, we ask ourselves: what could cause such
events? Well, there are several different theories which could possibly explain
the strange occurrences. Firstly, some say such events are mainly caused by
strong magnetic fields in this area as well as subterrean waters. However,
others believe in the legend about the old widow in black. According to the
legend, the widowed woman managed to outlive several generations of her neighbors
with the help of different potions. Allegedly, she is the one haunting the
specific highway. Moreover, probably the most famous theory is the one stating
that the highway was built on the old graveyard. Allegedly, the tombstones were
moved to the new cemetery but the corpses stayed underground due to the reason
that it was too expensive and too complicated to move all corpses to a new cemetery.
Therefore, the road was just built over the graves which allegedly disturbed
the deceased.
