There are lots of stories in Maine that come with a creepy twist. We’ve got abandoned asylums, dilapidated ski resorts and even some actual haunted hotels. But, this story is a bit different. This one will force you to make a decision. A decision that could change your life. Are you brave enough to drive this lonely road on your own? And are you prepared to make the right decision?

People say the ghostly woman is Catherine Downing, a Cherryfield woman who died in the area. But, there's no confirmation that she's responsible for the ghostly road and what happens to those who choose to ignore her pleas for help.

But, in this case, not stopping could spell disaster. Rumor has it, she asks her victims to stop. When they don't a curse is set in motion. Maybe not that night, maybe not that year - but eventually, disaster strikes.
Would you stop? Or would you keep on going, hoping to avoid the curse?
