Today I’d like to share an eerie and atmospheric piece from AntiqueArcheology.com. The comments related additional stories are perfect for the season, too!

Check out “Five Haunted Back Roads in America You’ve Got to Take: Local legends of phantom cars, ghosts, and murders provoke curiosity for the unknown.”

Here’s an excerpt:

Jogger’s Hill - Thornton, Colorado

Let this be a warning: If you’re in Thornton and you’re headed out for an evening drive, let somebody know where you’re going. Or better yet, just don’t go. About 20 minutes north of Denver in the foothills less than on hour outside Golden Gate Canyon State Park sits this Colorado town. The story goes that one night, a jogger was out on a solo run on Riverdale Road, which leads to a popular hilltop overlook with a great view of the city lights. Out of the quiet night came a speeding car, careening into the jogger, who was left to die alone in the darkness on the side of the road. Forever restless and angry at his fate, they say the jogger haunts this back road, looking for his killer in every passing car. He especially likes to creep up on people who park at the top what is now called Jogger’s Hill. Word is, if you kill your lights and engine, he’ll think you’re the one who hit him. Folks have reported hearing sounds of quick feet running toward them followed by angry fists beating the sides of their cars and handprints appearing on the windows as though the jogger is outside trying to get a look at his killer inside. Seriously, don’t go up there.
