1. Ghost Stories:

   • The Ghost Boy at the Bridge: One of the most famous legends involves a young boy who supposedly drowned under a bridge on Clinton Road. According to the tale, if you throw a coin into the water, the boy will throw it back.
   • Phantom Truck: Many have reported seeing a menacing, ghostly truck that appears out of nowhere, chases drivers, and then vanishes without a trace.

2. The Cross Castle:

   • Remains of a stone structure known as the Cross Castle attract attention. Built in 1905 by Richard Cross, the castle fell into disrepair after a fire. It's now linked with rumors of satanic rituals and ghost sightings, adding to the road's creepy lore.
