Reeder Road
Reeder Road is located in Griffith, Indiana and is a famous haunted location. Its a five mile road between Griffith and Merrillville, located south off of Oak Ridge park by a wooded area. The main story of this haunted stretch of road concerns a teenager driving down the road in the 1970s. He interacted with a ghost while speeding around. It was a girl who told him that her car had broke down and she needed a ride home. When driving by Ross Cemetery, the girl vanished. The legend is that this girl was killed in a car accident in 1955 and was buried in the cemetery after the incident.
Another local legend talks about walking-down Reeder Road for an hour and a half from the direction of Griffith. When you look to the right, you will see a church painted white that dates back to the early 1900s. While walking by, you will hear the screams of a congregation that a malicious pastor killed many years before. One other legend is if you walk along the train tracks that parallel the road, a man dressed in black will start to walk towards you in the distance. Since the late 1980s, the road has been closed and is barricaded by yellow objects.
