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

Maine has its fair share of ghost stories and they all come with bone-chilling details. From mysterious tombstones with ghostly images on them to a lighthouse that comes with a grisly murder story, those looking for a scare will certainly find it in Maine. But, the Route 2a section, known as the Haynesville Woods in Maine, really just might be the most haunted of all. This certain stretch of road is a place we wouldn't like to drive after dark and many other Mainers would recommend you avoid it as well. So read the story of this haunted road in Maine but we suggest you stay far, far away...

One of the most haunted places in Maine is a rural section of Route 2A in the northern part of the state.

This portion of the road goes through the "Haynesville Woods," located in South Aroostook County.

Before I-95 was built, this part of the road was heavily used for trucks bringing Maine's potato harvest out of the state.

It's known to be extremely dangerous in some areas, including a 90-degree turn buried deep in the woods.

In fact, some people might remember the song about the Haynesville Road in Maine, entitled, "A Tombstone Every Mile."

The title is in reference to the many fatal accidents that have occurred on the road. Written by a former truck driver who became a country singer and songwriter named Dick Curless, the song is eerily true.

"It's a stretch of road up north in Maine that's never, ever, ever seen a smile" - Dick Curless

One of the most notable stories coming from drivers on the road is that of a young woman in need of help.

After appearing out of nowhere, the woman seems to be in need of help. Drivers report pulling over to offer her a ride, which she accepts. While in the car, drivers say they've felt a chill in the air around her. As the car nears the end of the road, the woman disappears completely as if she'd never been there at all.

The story is said to be the ghost of a newlywed bride who was in a car accident with her new husband in the same woods. The man died immediately, but the woman was able to free herself. Once out of the car, she was unable to walk and met her end by freezing to death at the side of the road.

Another story told by drivers is that of a ghostly young girl.

The story likely comes from 1967, when two girls were killed on the same day - August 22nd. The girls are reported to have been struck by tractor trailers.

Similar to the bride, the ghost child is in need of a ride. However, upon reaching the end of the road, she disappears from the car.

This rural stretch of road has earned the reputation of the most haunted in Maine for good reason.

It's an eerie drive, no matter what the weather. And, a nighttime trip will certainly provide some fear-inducing moments.
