The Mysterious Iowa Road You Absolutely Must Drive At Least Once
The city of Burlington, Iowa is one of the Midwest’s perfect little communities, but even the most charming towns have their tragic secrets. In this case, the town that’s known for having the World’s Crookedest Street is home to a lesser known – but way more haunted, street.
During these uncertain times, please keep safety in mind and consider adding destinations to your bucket list to visit at a later date.
This short, rural country road was the sight of a tragic death in thr 1800s.
At night, though, the road is deserted. Locals know better than to travel down Stony Hollow Road after dark.
Legend goes that Lucina was waiting for her husband at this very spot, but he was terribly late. Assuming he had run away with another woman, she climbed to the top, and jumped to her death. Tragically, her husband showed up to find his bride. He had been delayed due to his wagon getting stuck in the mud.
The faint figure of the suicidal bride should appear towards the top of the cliff. Be aware, though, that if the ghost of Lucinda lays a rose at your feet, it means you, too, will meet a tragic fate within the next day or two.
Be warned, though, that she is easily scared away. Best to go alone.
