Ok, i haven't personally experienced this but i have heard enough rumors over the years by people that have told me that this was true. There is a road in our town named Devil's Track Road. Before this one was laid down, there was another road by that name right beside of it. It's still a dirt road and the other one that we use now is paved, but anyways. Even our teachers told us about these occurences when we were in school.

Ok, on Old Devil Track Road, there is this small hill, and it's been said that on the top of the hill, that there are these foot prints that don't look like human prints. They don't wash away in the rain or snow and thats strange because the foot prints are in dirt. The other occurence that is rumored to happen on that road i believe is true. On the road there is one bridge, and the bridge is right beside of where you can turn onto the old Devils Track Road.

But the story of the bridge is, back in the late 40's early 50's, there was this black man that drove an ice cream truck. He was driving down the road and had the ice cream music playing and everything and some locals saw him coming and decided to play a prank on him. when he got close to the bridge, they jumped out in front of him and he swerved off the bridge and into the stream below. He screamed and screamed for help and they wouldn't help him, they just yelled vulgar language at him and called him the n word and left him there to die.

Now days, it's said that if you drive over the bridge at night, you can hear him calling for help and that you can hear the ice cream music playing if you get out of your car and lean over the railing. I've been over that bridge many times and i've never heard anything, but it is very cold around that bridge and everyone says that its just the cold air that settles under the bridge, but i don't know. well, hope you liked it...it's creepy.
