Outside of Gordon, past the tracks a little ways, there's a stop sign. Legend says that if you turn your car off and sit with all the lights off, you'll see several red-orange lights like the lights on an 18-wheeler. If you try to follow it, there will be nothing there.

Here it's said that near the intersection of US 56 and 189th, a man in all black walks the highway and disappears when you get too close. Very scary! Reminds me of all the clowns walking around last year.

At what the locals call "Child's Play Cemetery" it's said that you're supposed to clean your car before visiting. At night, check your car right before you enter to make sure it's clean. Then, sit inside the cemetery until you hear something hit your car. Get out of there quick! When you get back, check the car and there will be a hand print on a window, as well as many little ones near the bottom of your car.
