Probably one of the scariest places I've ever been is a place called Coffin Road. Over the years there have been numerous paranormal and supernatural occurences at Coffin Road. The story of Coffin Road, which has never been proven so probably never happened, is that there was an old Children's Home out there and one night the care taker locked all of the children in a closet, set the Home on fire, went out to the barn, and committed suicide with a shotgun, damning himself to an eternity of watching over the grounds and the souls of his victims as the Keeper of the Children. There was also an old cemetery out there where the county planned on building a road, so to save money, they moved all of the headstones but left the graves, built the road over top of the cemetery, and put a monument in the ground to show where the cemetery used to be. My first experience a Coffin Road was in 1990. A bunch of us went out there after a football game for a road party. Three of the guys went out into the woods and a second later they all came out running and screaming. All of us ran to the truck and as the driver started to take off out of there, something grabbed my little cousin and tried to pull him out of the bed of the truck. My other cousin and I grabbed a hold of his arms and after a long game of tug of war with whatever was holding him, we finally were able to pull him back into the bed of the truck. Another horible Coffin Road incident happened in October of 1992. After a football game on a calm and windless night, two of my friends and I went out there. The driver said he had a strange feeling, so he just stayed in the car. As my other friend and approached the monument, we noticed two bunches of plastic flowers in front of it. We looked at each other, nodded our heads, and each grabbed a bunch of flowers. As we pulled them out of the ground, suddenly something came rushing out of the woods after us. Although we couldn't see it, it made horrible, heavy rustling noises as it ran through the woods. My friend and I started running towards the car and right before I got there something grabbed my ankle. I fell to the ground but was able to use my momentum to roll back up to my feet and dive into the back of the car. The next day my friend who grabbed the other bunch of roses ended up shooting me in the foot with a shotgun in some freak, unexplainable accident. The absolute scariest thing that happened to me out at Coffin Road happened in the fall of 1995. One night after college, one of my friends and I wanted to go to Coffin Road. As we approached the monument, my friend said he was getting a really bad feeling, so we shouldn't stop. I agreed and kept driving down the road. At the far end of Coffin Road, I had stopped at the stop sign to catch my breath when all of a sudden, my friend started screaming and yelling, "Go! Go! Go!" I looked over at him to see what was happening then I saw that the stop sign was facing the car, and it read "STAY"! I squealed out of there as fast as my car would go! There have also been reports of seeing a glowing blue figure walking through though the field by the old Children's Home carrying a lantern; many sightings of glowing green eyes out in the woods and by the monument; the sound of ghostly children laughing inside the barn out beside the foundation of the old Children's home; cars just dying and radios going haywire on the road by the monument; and many other strange and frightening things happening out on Coffin Road. |
