Rumor has it that after midnight (usually around 3 a.m.), as you near the church, you'll find a white pickup truck. The legend differs from here, with some stories saying it will flash its lights at you and chase you out of town. Other versions insist that if you flash your lights, it will chase you.

The folklore surrounding this tiny town and the church indicate that it's a front for satanic worship and paranormal activity. One story of a Hoosier who was chased by the truck even indicates that upon returning, he found graffiti spelling out "The Enforcer" in the spot where the truck was originally parked.
There's also a cemetery on the church grounds where legends claim some of the cult rituals are carried out. No matter what's actually happening here, most local residents still agree that there's something creepy in Joppa's past.
