This Little-Traveled Maine Road is the Most Haunted in the Country

Maine is home to some of the most-chilling ghost stories in the United States.

No, we're not talking about the novels that Maine's Stephen King has penned over the last five decades.  Nope.  We're talking about real ghost stories.

Some of the most well known Maine ghost stories include the haunted dorms at the University of Southern Maine, the haunting of Skowhegan's Strand Theater, and the haunting of Bucksport's Fort Knox.

Did you know that Maine is home to the most haunted road in the United States?

The Haunting of Maine's Route 2A

According to the Discover Cars website, Route 2A in Maine is the most haunted road in the United States.  The winding road, an offshoot of Route 2, runs through an extremely rural section of Aroostook County.

The website explains that this stretch of road is rumored to be haunted by several ghosts.  Drivers have reported seeing a woman in white, believed to be a bride killed alongside her husband in a crash on their wedding night.  Legend says she wanders the roadside, searching for her lost love.

Two young girls are also said to haunt the area, appearing and disappearing into thin air.  Their spirits are believed to belong to two girls who were fatally struck by a truck on the road in 1967.  Witnesses describe an overwhelming sense of dread and sadness in the surrounding woodlands.

As a teen I spent a summer as an escort driver for a company moving mobile homes.  Because it lacked the low overpasses of the I-95, we occasionally took that road when delivering single-wides or double-wides.  While I believe in the ghost stories, I personally never witnessed anything while driving on the road.
