    Interstate 4 'Dead Zone'

    SanfordUnited States1887 (Highway built 1963)

    Stretching across a quarter mile segment of Interstate 4 near the St. Johns River Bridge in Sanford, Florida, the infamous Interstate 4 Dead Zone is widely regarded as one of the most haunted and lethal stretches of highway in North America. Constructed directly over a forgotten 1887 Yellow Fever burial ground belonging to early German immigrants, this short stretch of road experiences a disproportionately high rate of fatal vehicular crashes, phantom vehicle sightings, electronic glitches, static filled phone calls, and mysterious floating luminous orbs. Paranormal lore holds that disturbing the resting place of these pioneers cursed the highway from the very day it opened to public traffic.
