Roads exist to move people forward.

They are transitional spaces, not destinations. People pass through them briefly, often alone, and rarely remain.

Highway hauntings frequently involve encounters that begin and end without explanation—a figure seen standing where no pedestrian should be, a passenger who vanishes, something observed only once and never again.

Isolation plays a central role.

There are no witnesses beyond the traveler. No fixed point of reference. Only the memory of what was seen and the distance already traveled.

The road continues.

The encounter does not.
