WASHINGTON: Clinton Road, located in West Milford, New Jersey, has been named the world’s most haunted road, according to a report by German rental car company Sixt. The road has remained at the top of the ranking for the third consecutive year.
The approximately 10-mile stretch of Clinton Road runs through a heavily wooded area and has long been associated with mysterious and supernatural stories. Tales surrounding the road have circulated for more than a century, particularly about unexplained lights that some visitors claim appear suddenly before disappearing.
According to the report, Clinton Road’s reputation is based largely on decades of folklore and reported unusual experiences. The road is said to become particularly eerie at night because of its isolated, forested surroundings.
