Hoosiers aren’t exactly strangers to the strange and unusual. In fact, all kinds of parts of our beautiful little state are said to be haunted, cursed, or worse – and naturally, these places attract brave souls who love to check these places out. So, if you happen to be one of those, you might want to check out this (allegedly) haunted road in Indiana… if you dare. No, it’s not the Screaming Bridge of Avon or anything, but it really is something special… if you’re into this sort of thing, anyway.

Hidden in the unassuming small town of South Bend, Indiana, is Primrose Road, an otherwise average-looking stretch of quiet road that's said to be incredibly spooky once night falls.

The ghost stories are plentiful; in some versions of the lore, you must drive along Primrose slowly, with your headlights off, for the fun to REALLY begin.
Go 20 miles per hour, they say, and suddenly, all of your tires with go flat (or worse, blow out).

Should you be foolish enough to do 30 miles per hour, they say, your whole car will die... and then they will come for you.
Supposedly, those brave (foolish?) enough to attempt this can also hear the voices of the dead calling to them, warning them to head back and go no further.

Some stories say that if you make it far up enough on Primrose Road, you'll stumble upon a phantom farmhouse that doesn't exist during the day.
