Take a Drive Down One of America's Creepiest Roads

Take a road trip to one of the creepiest roads in America. Digital City has compiled a great list of roads from across the country that promises to take brave motorists on some bone-chilling rides.

Unexplained Happenings on America's Creepiest Roads

Maybe you've heard an urban legend about a creepy road in your hometown where if you drive with your lights on, you'll see a ghost. Or maybe you'll see phantom lights if you flash your brights. Whatever the case, there are some odd happenings taking place on dark roads around the country.

Digital City has put together a great list, but also be sure to scour the comments to find information about more spooky roads. My favorite find was a comment that led me to Pennsylvania's legendary Seven Gates of Hell. Yes, the legend is as sinister as its name suggests. Actually, it's much, much more sinister than the name suggests.

At this point, I would love to lament the fact that I don't live anywhere near Pennsylvania, but I can't kid myself. I would never have the guts to test the Seven Gates legend. There's just something about willingly walking a path that is rumored to lead straight into the mouth hell that reeks of insanity . . . and not garden variety insanity either, but insanity, insanity . . . building-a-gigantic-hibernation-nest-out-old newspapers-and-your-own-saliva insanity.
