Very interesting article/website, and of course there were some posts arguing something happened someplace else or originated someplace else specifically about Buckout Rd, that the boy killed then hung over the car happened in Kentucky. I'm sure everybody has heard stories about something similar happening in their home town, and each story probably says it originated there. It is an interesting website, and I'm sure if they just went into Putnam they'd find some creepy roads. Maybe they should take a drive to upstate NY, I'd say every 7 out of 10 roads up there is creepy especially at night. Just visit some of the historic places up there, Fort William Henry, Fort Ticonderoga, Mt. Defiance...those places especially at night are extremely creepy.

I truly enjoy responding up there at 3 AM for wires down during a thunderstorm. It is an interesting place. Most of us if not all of us who lived in town all went up there at one time or another. The best is when a car full of kids drives by the firehouse and asks where is buckout road is.
