Read the scary stories and have a scare of a time!
I come from Canberra, the capital of Australia. Just out of Canberra, on the way to Sydney, there's a huge lake, called "Lake George." These days, as Canberra and its surrounding area is faced with one of the worst droughts in years, you would never guess that not that long ago, it was filled with water, at times overflowing onto the road. Many people spent fun summers fishing and swimming there, but not everyone had such happy times. Many people lost their lives there, and there are stories about ghostly sightings around Canberra. One of the best-known is that if you drive past Lake George at night by yourself and look in the rear-view mirror, you'll see someone sitting in the backseat of your car. There have also been reports of ghost trucks and cars that drive along the highway late at night when few cars are travelling.
There is an urban legend in my town of Kokomo, Indiana. We have many urban legends in fact, but there's one in particular. The story is set on Old Sycamore Road, which is an old road in the farmland, an open field area of my town. There's a small bridge offOld Sycamore Road that takes you onto another road that leads to the next town. The story goes, a man, or a boy fell off the bridge, and died hitting his head on the rocks underneath. And if you drive on Old Sycamore Road at night, and cross that bridge, then the "ghost" of the man, or boy will appear next to your car once you pass the exact spot they had fallen from, until you exit the bridge. My friends and I have tested this urban legend many times and we haven’t seen anything yet. We don't even know if anyone really died there, but true or false, it's an eerie story.
There's a bridge called "Covert's Crossing" or "Covert's Bridge" up in New Castle. A young couple had got married on Halloween. Around midnight, they were riding in a horse drawn carriage across the bridge at the same time a car was. The bridge was only one lane, so by the time they saw each other it was too late. They crashed and the hubcap of the car flew off, decapitating the bride. The police never found her head or the body of the groom. It’s said that if you sit on the bridge on Halloween night around midnight, you can see the headless bride standing on some rocks in the river. However, they don't know if she is looking for her head or her lost love.
