Legend has it that a girl named Elizabeth Wilson drowned in a swamp after the car she was riding in went off the road into a swamp. People say that if you drive down the road at night you can see Elizabeth waiting on the side of the road waiting for a ride back to her house. People who claimed to give her a ride back to her house get as far as Ross cemetery before she disappears.The same cemetery that she was buried in 1955.
More history to this road is during heavy mafia activity in Chicago around the 1930`s they would dump bodies off this road. Most of the bodies were not discovered until the mid sixties when the area started to be developed.
Through the late 1980`s until the mid 1990`s the woods around this road became a popular place to commit suicide. Most people that have killed themselves there were area high school students
Many reports of various apparitions (figures in the woodsghostly lightsvoicesbeing chased by cars/ creatures).
Various animal parts are frequently found along the road. These are odd in the fact that they seem to almost always be placed in the exact center of the road. One person witnessed the head of a large dog, a German shepherd or similar large breed, positioned in the center of the road. There was no blood and the eyes were open staring down the line of the road.

There are 3 one-lane bridges on this road when you get to the third bridge stop and flash your lights 4 times. As you then cross the bridge you will see a short man in your rearview mirror chasing you.
If you drive up the road about 50 feet you will come to an old church graveyard. Go in the graveyard and park as close to the back as you can get. Walk along the fence and you will see what looks like flames coming from the woods. This is where the church once stood. It is said that when it caught fire in the 1800s that everyone was killed.
Also there are old haunted tracks right after the graveyard. Go about midnight and stop in the middle of the tracks. Put baby powder on your rear bumper. You will hear a train whistle and see the lights come at you. Then they will disappear. Get out and look at the back of your car and you will see baby fingerprints. A little boy named Danny was killed here in the early 1900s right after the tracks were built

There is a road that the locals all call Devils Elbow. Legend has it that it is haunted by evil spirits. Reports of red glowing eyes, a woman in white, a baby crying and sometimes when you are driving on this road your car will die or if it doesn`t die your headlights will get dim as if something is feeding off the energy.
About 15 years ago a man was brutally murdered on that road. It was haunted way before the murder incident
