Description

Some roads don't just lead to a destination—they lead to a story. For our premiere episode, join hosts Bubah and Z as they take a terrifying trip down three of America's most haunted highways.

First, we descend into the cursed valley of Zombie Road in Wildwood, Missouri, where a history of industrial accidents, a forgotten smallpox pit, and tragic deaths have given rise to shadow figures, phantom trains, and a legion of lost souls.

Then, the terror gets real as we shift to Route 29 in Fairfax, Virginia. This busy commuter corridor was the hunting ground for not one, but two predators—a cold-case "nice guy" killer from the 90s who vanished without a trace, and a modern-day stalker whose brutal road-rage attacks were documented in real-time, creating a very modern ghost: the memory of fear itself.

Finally, we journey to Boone County Road in Florence, Kentucky, home to the mournful legend of the Graveyard Girl. This vanishing hitchhiker in a white prom dress isn't a monster, but a phantom of profound sorrow, forever trying to find her way home after her life was cut short on the night of her prom.

From layered historical tragedy and real-world crime to a poignant local legend, this episode explores the dark echoes that linger where asphalt meets the unknown. Buckle up—it's going to be a long, dark night.

Content Warning: This episode contains discussions of violent crime, stalking, historical tragedies, and paranormal themes. Listener discretion is advised.
