Highways & Paths
Roads, crossings, and the stories that emerge along routes meant to be traveled.
Not all haunted places are meant to be stayed in.
Some are meant to be passed through.
Highways, rural roads, and isolated paths are often associated with brief encounters—figures seen at a distance, something crossing the road, or the sudden sense that someone is there when no one should be.
Many of these stories are fleeting. A moment, a glimpse, a near encounter that cannot be easily repeated. Yet they are told and retold with striking similarity across regions and cultures.
Unlike fixed locations, these places exist in motion. The experience happens while traveling, often at night, often alone.
This section of the archive explores the stories connected to roads, paths, and the encounters said to occur along them.
