You\u2019ve heard of ghost towns<\/a>, haunted houses<\/a>, spooky cemeteries<\/a>, spirit-filled ships<\/a>, creepy abandoned zoos<\/a>, and even haunted hayrides<\/a>. As the most haunted state in the U.S<\/a>., California boasts a lot of haunted spots. But have you heard of haunted roads<\/a>?<\/p>\n A new study from SIXT Magazine<\/a> has named California\u2019s Route 66 the second most haunted road in the entire world<\/strong>, proving that the Golden State\u2019s ghostly reputation doesn\u2019t stop at its haunted hotels or spooky mansions. It also haunts the highways!<\/p>\n \ud83d\udc7b Why is Route 66 so haunted? <\/p>\n According to the study by SIXT, California\u2019s legendary Route 66 ranked high thanks to countless ghost stories<\/a>, eerie encounters<\/a>, and its history as a once-bustling lifeline for travelers crossing the country.<\/strong> Stretching across desolate desert<\/a> landscapes, Route 66 is a time capsule of Americana and, apparently, of restless spirits.<\/p>\n Ghostly legends tied to the route include phantom hitchhikers, mysterious lights, and whispers from long-deserted roadside diners.<\/strong> Whether it\u2019s the lingering souls of travelers who never reached their destinations or the energy of the countless lives that passed through, Route 66 has earned its haunted reputation.<\/p>\n While Route 66 takes second place, Clinton Road in New Jersey<\/strong> claimed the top spot as the most haunted road in the U.S. Drivers report seeing the Jersey Devil<\/strong> or the spirit of a boy who returns your loose change.<\/p>\n Other haunted highways from around the world include:<\/p>\n \ud83d\udc7bHow was the study conducted? <\/p>\n To uncover the world\u2019s most haunted roads, SIXT analyzed data from multiple spooky sources:<\/strong><\/p>\n All data was collected and analyzed as of July 11, 2025, revealing the eeriest roads where drivers are most likely to encounter something supernatural.<\/p>\n Is it time for a ghostly road trip this Halloween weekend?<\/strong>\ud83d\udc7b<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Photo by Chanita Sykes via Pexels.
