Don’t Drive On This Haunted Street In Nevada Or You May Regret It

Nevada is full of haunted locales. From Virginia City and Goldhill to ghost towns like Rhyolite to abandoned mines strewn along the northern part of the state to Las Vegas, ghosthunters and lovers of the paranormal are at no loss to satisfy their supernatural cravings. There is one haunted street in Las Vegas that has amassed considerable paranormal legend: the stretch of Sandhill Rd. between Olive Ave. and Charleston Blvd. This haunted street in Nevada is the subject of quite a bit of lore, and it goes like this:

Rumor has it that a deceased couple haunts the underground tunnels. Whispers and moans have been heard coming from deep within. As the tunnels are only about three feet high, this makes the idea of an actual moaning person in there quite unlikely and fuels the legend that the tunnels - and the road - are haunted. And then, there's the inexplicable apparition of an old woman who chases motorists on the adjacent dirt road but disappears when cars leave "her" street. Without a doubt, it's one of the most haunted places in Nevada.

The stretch of Sandhill Road between Olive Ave. and Charleston Blvd. in Las Vegas is, perhaps, the most haunted street in all of Nevada.

Here's a satellite view of the area:

...and the view of the tunnels from Sandhill.

Legend has it that a couple driving down Olive St. crashed into some construction debris for the tunnels and died at the scene.

We recently drove along this haunted stretch of Sandhill Rd. and decided to stop and take a picture; we wanted to prove that we were actually there.

A slightly better photo using flash this time (which was a better idea, given it was midnight.) As you can see, we're still (safely) on the other side of the street. Whereas we personally didn't hear any creepy moans or see a woman's ghost chasing after our vehicle, we were suddenly overcome by a severe wave of nausea while parked on the (safe) side of the road. Once we left, we felt better, and several minutes later we returned where we were and, once again, we were overwhelmed by severe nausea.

We're going to be chalking that up to something paranormal. Yikes.

We strongly believe in ghosts as we've had several paranormal experiences throughout our lives. We enjoy the thought of coming face-to-face with a paranormal entity even though we end up giving ourselves nightmares. While we were somewhat disappointed in our jaunt to Sandhill Rd., we are also rather relieved. Have any of you had any experiences on this haunted street? Please share your comments!
