One Of The Most Haunted Bridges In New Jersey, Clinton Road Bridge Has Been Around For Decades

We've all heard of haunted homes, haunted hospitals, haunted hotels, heck, even haunted bars. Clearly, many people believe spirits will linger in a certain place. But could a whole 10-mile stretch of road be cursed? It can, and it is, at the scariest bridge in New Jersey.

This haunted place is also known as Clinton Road by West Milford, New Jersey. If you believe the legends, this stretch of road, quite desolate and primarily in the forest, has a seriously dark energy. We're talking everything from rumored druids practicing rituals in the surrounding woods, serial killers allegedly burying bodies, ghost trucks driving along, bizarre humanoid animals crossing the road at night, and, most famously, a little boy haunting the waters underneath a bridge.

And while these are all just rumors, it is true a dead body was found on the road in the 1980s. Yikes.

So, if you're looking for a haunted bridge in New Jersey, there's only one spot you should go... well, sort of. It's unclear which of the two bridges on Clinton Road are the ghost boy's hangout, so you'll just have to visit both.

Clinton Road is so haunted, even Google Maps makes sure to warn you of the ghosts you'll encounter here.

It's easy to see why the road is so legendary. It's absolutely foreboding. You can definitely picture murderers and Bigfoot-like creatures roaming these woods.

Of course, the most famous legend is that a little boy drowned off one of the bridges. He's haunted the area for ages.

If you throw a penny for him, he'll throw it back to you, according to legend.

However, people are unclear on whether the little spirit boy hangs out at Dead Man's Curve, (admittedly a dangerous bridge to drive over, as you can tell by the name... )

... Or another little bridge several miles north. Both have been described as the little ghost boy's home and have a plethora of quarters in the waters surrounding them.

So to be safe, you'll have to try to summon him at both bridges. Of course, if you really want to be safe, you probably will avoid driving down this road at all.

So there you have it: Clinton Road is home to at least one, if not two, of the most haunted bridges in New Jersey. Drive at your own peril.
