Here’s Why This Is Florida’s Most Haunted Highway
I-4 is infamous for its backups, accidents, and ongoing construction. Yet, is it possessed? I-4 Haunted?
According to mythology, Seminole County’s St. Johns River Bridge is where at least one length is located. And the eerie past goes all the way back to the late 1800s. According to legend, a group of Swiss and German immigrants settled on property close to the bridge. There was a cemetery there to remember their loved ones throughout the tragic events that befell that colony, which included yellow fever.
It’s a cemetery that was most likely destroyed when I-4 was constructed many years ago.
Since then, there has allegedly been something there that is responsible for accidents. According to Varney Pearce of C. Green’s Haunted History Museum, it is considered bad luck. They frequently hear first-hand accounts at Cassadaga, the Spiritualist village, just down the road.
That section of I-4 even has a name, according to Tina Green, owner of the Haunted History Museum: The I-4 Dead Zone.
According to the Florida Highway Patrol, there have been 26 fatal crashes in the region over the past ten years, and several people have claimed to have seen a ghost.
When people are traveling on I-4 and spanning the wide bridge connecting Seminole County and Volusia, they will occasionally encounter ghostly images of a woman wandering down the side of the road. She is typically described as wearing a white gown. And when they stop to pick her up, she has already left, according to many witnesses.
