Don’t Drive On These 6 Haunted Streets In Pennsylvania Or You’ll Regret It
Do you believe in the paranormal? Even if you shook your head no, you just might start believing after you drive down these six haunted streets in Pennsylvania. Did you know, in fact, that Pennsylvania is known as one of the most haunted states in the country? We have ghosts around practically every turn – here are some creepy, haunted streets that will leave you wanting to stay inside.
Irwin Road is known in local legend as Blue Mist Road. Located in North Park near Pittsburgh, it is home to multiple ghoulish spirits. You can see in the picture above that it's pretty innocuous by day.. But the entire area is said to be shrouded in blue mist by night... Two lovers' headstones in an adjacent cemetery are said to touch under the full moon. An old building foundation is said to be the old home of a witch, and another house is said to be a home populated by little people who will chase intruders. A dog-deer-human mutant is also said to live in the woods and will chase or harm any person who creeps too far into its territory. It's like a spooky party. Read more about Blue Mist Road.
Constitution Drive is a gravel road in a quiet part of Allentown that has a steep drop-off on one side, and train tracks on the other. It is said that a man was struck by a train one night while walking his dogs, severing his leg and leaving him to perish over the course of a few days on the deserted stretch of road. Since, passers-by have reported seeing paw prints and a single footprint in the snow, left by the ghost of the man and his dogs. Legend also claims that the surrounding woods sometimes emit a soft whistling sound, and that the area is populated by tiny pale-skinned people with red eyes. After this last legend became local lore, it was discovered that a man who lives on the road owns a pot-bellied pig farm... Read more about Constitution Drive.
This creepy area just north of the Delaware border is so infused with ghostly tales that M. Night Shymalan filmed his 2004 horror movie, "The Village" in a nearby field. Rumors state that a white house hidden in the woods on Devil's Road, officially named Cossart Road, was home to a wealthy, incestuous family called the DuPonts, who resorted to inbreeding in order to keep their fortune within the family. "The Cult House" was used as a place to perform incestuous marriages and as a place to hide deformed offspring. The trees in the area are dramatically bent away from the house, as if they are trying to escape. Piles of animal corpses have been discovered in the area by visitors. Read more about Cossart Road.
Mysterious glowing orbs have been said to appear in the forest on Hansell Road. The bizarre phenomenon has no known logical explanation. Some observers have said the orbs are like eyes, while others have compared them to floating lanterns.
In 1928, Nelson Reymeyer was murdered by a group of men who believed that he had laid a curse upon them. They broke into his home, killed him, and then mutilated him. Also known as Hex Hollow, the road where he lived is known to be haunted by his spirit. Read more about Rehmeyer's Hollow.
Legend has it that a nasty schoolteacher died in his schoolhouse on Dark Hollow Road, and his body wasn't discovered until over 100 years after his death. Today, if you walk on the street after dark, strange flickering lights will appear to follow you... Just waiting for you to misremember your multiplication tables.

What is the most haunted place in Pennsylvania?
If you love Pennsylvania ghost stories, you will love Gettysburg. As perhaps the most haunted town in the United States, it is dripping with ghost stories. Gettysburg College, for example, tells some terrifying tales. It’s said that two employees once got in the elevator and pushed the button. The elevator took them straight to the basement, rather than the floor number they’d pushed. When the door opened, they saw a working Civil War hospital with doctors, nurses, and Civil War soldiers. A doctor came near them, and the elevator began to move. When the employees returned minutes later, the basement was empty.
Are there any haunted restaurants or bars in Pennsylvania?
Lift your glass in a toast at Stouch Tavern in Womelsdorf, just one of the many haunted places in Pennsylvania. The tavern, which once hosted George Washington, now serves delicious food and drinks. You might also enjoy a helping of the paranormal – footsteps when no one is there and silverware that mysteriously moves. Jean Bonnet Tavern in Bedford is also said to be haunted. Dig into a delicious meal as you stay vigilant. You might, for example, feel a touch on your arm, only to turn and find there’s no one there.
Are there haunted battlefields in Pennsylvania?
For the most haunted battlefield in Pennsylvania, perhaps in all of the United States, make your way to Gettysburg. The battlefield saw the three bloodiest days of the Civil War with more than 51,000 casualties. Bodies of those who were killed were either left at the battlefield or were buried and later moved. Today, visitors tell of a mist rolling over the battlefield and the sound of marching soldiers in the distance. You might also run into a friendly fella in a floppy hat. If he offers to help you snap a photo or to take a photo with you, just beware that he’s done that before. The moment the camera shutter snaps, he disappears.
