About this episode

This episode explores the haunted history and urban legends surrounding Clinton Road in New Jersey.

Dare to uncover the terrifying secrets of Clinton Road-a haunted stretch of highway deep in the woods of West Milford, New Jersey. From the ghost of a drowned boy who returns tossed coins, to the chilling phantom pickup truck that vanishes without a trace, Clinton Road is home to some of the most terrifying urban legends in America. Explore the disturbing ruins of Cross Castle, a hotspot for dark rituals and paranormal activity. Learn the truth behind the so-called Druidic Temple, where cloaked figures, animal mutilations, and eerie chanting have been reported. Even GPS systems and cell phones glitch out-as if the road bends time and reality itself. This isn't just folklore. Clinton Road has ties to real-world horror-including mob hitman Richard "The Iceman" Kuklinski, who used the area as a dumping ground. Whether you believe in the paranormal or not, one thing's clear: Clinton Road remembers everyone who visits-and not all of 'em make it back.
