We choose to stay focused on our destination, even though each one of us has traveled on a road where evil has undoubtebly happened at some point. These are the Top 4 Murderous Highways and Roads. 4. Texas Killing FieldsFound a mile off of Interstate 45, sitting on the borders of Galveston and Houston, is a place known ominously as the Texas Killing Fields. This uninhabited patch of land stretches on for 25 miles and is decorated with marshes, thick tangles of brush and old abandoned oil fields. 3. I-70 KillerInterstate 70 is a large stretch of highway that runs from Baltimore, Maryland towards Cove Fort, Utah. For many, it’s used for traveling between the states but for some, it’s their playground used to hunt down victims. Starting in 1992, the highway became a gruesome spot for an unusual maniac dubbed as the I-70 Killer. During this time, the killer committed several murders and robberies at various specialty shops along the highway. 2. Shades of Death RoadNew Jersey has it’s share of strange stories. From the Pine Barrens to the Jersey Devil, it definitely has its mysteries. Hence, it’s no surprise you would come across one of the most haunted and terrifying roads here, dubbed appropriately as “Shades of Death Road.” Located right in the middle of Warren County, this unassuming two-lane road runs for seven miles flanked by trees from the Jenny Jump State Forest. 1. Flinders HighwayKnown to locals as the “Highway of Death,” Flinders Highway is a 482-mile road that crosses Queensland, Australia from East to West. The stretch is dotted by small outback towns and a deserted landscape. Over the years, Flinders Highway has gained notoriety for being one of the deadliest highways in the world. People here disappear, turn up murdered, or often run into accidents.Support the show Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
