Stay Away From Georgia’s Most Haunted Street After Dark Or You May Be Sorry

Georgians love a good ghost story, right? Whether or not you believe in ghosts, it’s always fun to retell these stories of terror and fright to anyone willing to listen. But for those of us who are so quick to brush off a tall tale as being a ghost story, would we really be so quick to spend time in said place after dark? Take the Legend of Ghost Road in Georgia, for example. This road is said to be one of the most haunted spots in the state. Would you dare tread these grounds after the sun sets?

We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/
The town of Brooklet, just outside of Statesboro is just like any other regular Georgia town.

But there is one particular road in Brooklet, called Old Ghost Road, that is said to be one of the most haunted parts of the state.

As the story goes, people who have ventured down the street at night have seen some very strange things.

A very faint orange light will eventually appear in the distance...

As you drive closer to the light you'll see a man digging a ditch in the middle of the night, which is rumored to be his way of either digging his grave or digging up a buried human head.

If you watch the man long enough, he will eventually approach your car angrily, but then vanish into the night before reaching you.

If that doesn't freak you out enough, there is a small cemetery down the street that when you venture through, you'll be able to see or hear ghost dogs attempting to dig up their owner's graves.
