Dead Man's Curve

Dead Man's Curve is a dangerous intersection in Clermont County. The road was part of the turnpike built in 1831, and it has a long list of victims. In September of 1969, the State of Ohio rebuilt the road into a four-lane road. On October 19, 1969, five teens died there when their 1969 Impala was hit at more than 100 miles per hour by a 1969 Roadrunner. There was only one survivor and his name was Rick. Ever since then, the road has been haunted by a ghost known as "the faceless hitchhiker". Rick has seen him five times. This figure is described as a solid, dark outline of a man.
Here is some information from Haunted Ohio II:  Rick's friend Todd: "Rick and I were heading home from Bethel to Amelia. I noticed a man's shape on the side of the road. It turned like it was hitchhiking, with an arm sticking up. The thing wore light-colored pants, a blue shirt, longer hair--and there was just a blank, flat surface where the face should have been. We looked back. There was nobody there. I've also seen the black shadow figure, walking its slow, labored, dragging walk by the side of the road."
       Rick hired a psychic who went there and checked it out for a few hours. Later, she called Rick and told him to come pick her up. " Someone very evil is there", she said. "He died suddenly and he is still there." A friend of Rick's was driving past there when the shadow jumped right in front of her car. She felt her wheels bump over it. When she stopped, she saw it climbing onto her car with one foot on her trunk and its hands in the luggage rack. Even now she gets the shakes when she talks about it. A driverless Impala and a mysterious green Roadrunner are seen in the area as well.
