Halloween is just over a week away, so I thought this might be a semi-interesting topic. Ontario has a couple of allegedly "haunted highways," where people have reported strange sights and encounters. I'd be interested in hearing of any local legends or stories you have about roads that may be haunted. The only one I know of that is said to be haunted is Texas Road in Amherstburg, which is just south of Windsor. This is apparently the "big place" for teenagers trying to prove their machismo to go and scare themselves, or at least it used to be. People have reported all sorts of phenomena here. The road does look creepy, particularly at night, with a lot of overgrowth. A bridge over a stream got washed out a few years ago, so Texas Road is truncated. In the "haunted" section (where it ran through a conservation area), people have reported seeing a glowing green mist, :? a headless horseman :shock: and they've reported seeing apparitions and hearing moans and other things while driving by the St. Clement's cemetery at the corner of Texas Road and Walker Road. Some others have reported car trouble while driving by the cemetery, which was apparently started as an old pioneer cemetery in the late 1700s or early 1800s. (For the record... I've never had anything happen while going by there.) Safety-wise, people out ghost hunting along that highway can definitely pose a hazard, some of them park on the road in the middle of the night WITH THEIR LIGHTS OFF, then they wonder why Odot showed up and gave them a hard time. Regardless, it makes for an interesting story. I don't know if there are such things as ghosts, but a lot of people have reported weird stuff along that road. Are there any roads like this in your area?

I was on a country road about six years ago, just on a random drive with an ex. I have no idea what the name of the road was, likely a numbered Concession road. At one part of the road, it "ate up" the light from my headlights. Trees were still illuminated, but the road became pitch black and it felt like I was flying through the night instead of driving. All I saw were a few tree trunks, with the view to the front being completely black as well as all my mirrors. It was the way the hill in the road was shaped that had it constantly out of reach of my headlights for 50 m or so, but man it was creepy. Foggy night too, and I had just driven past an abandoned barn. I think this was the same night that I went to "relieve" myself, fell down a hill, and tumbled through poison oak. :shock: :x

I hope I can paint the picture with the accuracy that the truth deserves. I have no intention of just beating a ticket.. but more like beating a really unfair ticket. You decide!

In June at 401 London and Wellington I got hit twice, speeding which I didn't realize I was doing and cell phone. The Officer made me open my purse and show him my phone. I was going to meet a Rep of my Company in Kitchener, he called I answered. WRONG! The Officer wasn't even nice. My record…
I'm going to preface this with a little concern....I know that at least one moderator on this forum is likely a co-worker of the officer who tagged me. I'm hoping that by being involved here, this moderator is already acting unbiased towards incidents he/she is not directly involved in. Also…
I received a ticket the other day that has my wrong name, wrong address and wrong set fine amount. Is the best thing to do default on it and hope it is quashed and if it isn't file for appeal as per London v. Young ?
Also for an incorrect offence or an offence "not known to law." as an example :
I got ticket for failing to stop at stop sign in Toronto. i heard that the police officer must see the stop line, if there is one, from where he was sitting. That is exactly my case, Is it a strong case? If so do i need a picture to show that there is a stop line and a picture to show that he could…
I got a ticket for going 20 km/h over 50 in Toronto around March of last year and received my court summons for a hearing in February 2012 approx. 3 weeks ago. Mailed out a request for disclosure a week after that. It's now been 2 and a 1/2 weeks since the request and I was…

and they've reported seeing apparitions and hearing moans and other things while driving by the St. Clement's cemetery at the corner of Texas Road and Walker Road.
