Downs Road is closed on both ends and is filled with ruins of former homes. One of the ghost stories that surround the road is that of the Downs Road Monster, who some say was actually an albino horse. Others include different ghostly apparitions and eerie creatures such as Melon Heads, rumored to leave claw marks on the cars that park in the area.

Go on Halloween

You will end up in a cul-de-sac. That's the real trail you want to go on. If you go on Halloween I guarantee you will at the least have a very strange experience.

Don't believe it

I grew up in the area. It's not haunted, nor are there any "melonheads".
