[@critterscute3642]

Interesting story. Certainly not a road or area that I would like to be traveling at night 👀. Thanks for another great video 👍

[@StrangeandSinister1]

Glad you enjoyed it! The curves in the road were a little scary.

[@nwoking666]

Always look forward to these videos. I also like how you discuss the folklore/history but then explain with the use of research and records to either validate or debunk the story behind the haunting - much like with Lewis Weary in this video. I've watched every video and look forward to the next one.

[@StrangeandSinister1]

Thank you! I like digging deeper to learn more about the truth behind these legends.

[@madtrucker0983]

That grove of trees along the road is creepy AF. It's like something you would see on a long driveway up to an old mansion.

[@StrangeandSinister1]

That stretch of the road was creepy for sure. It was like a scene from a horror movie.

[@Steve51983]

As a local I've driven on that road numerous times. Never experienced anything out of the ordinary but then again I didn't go out looking for it either. Throughout the years, I've heard numerous people claim to have seen the apparitions of children (that died in the fire) ducking in and out behind the trees alongside the tree covered portion of the road at night.

[@StrangeandSinister1]

I heard the same thing. Shadow figures near the tree lined area.

[@donnaboisen6003]

I grew up on a farm in Wisconsin in the 60s-70s. No matter where the country road is it’s creepy. Because of no street lights like you have in town. When it’s windy on dark nights your headlights shine on the trees and they’re blowing. Yes, any country road can be creepy. Especially if there’s spooky stories that go with the area. Fun channel.

[@StrangeandSinister1]

It's a beautiful drive on those country roads by Evansville.

[@donnaboisen6003]

@@StrangeandSinister1 I’m sure it is.

[@rgarlinyc]

Thank you for another informative and fascinating tale - old Lewis Weary sure is someone to look out for and I can't help thinking of how his family first got the name "Weary"... Your views of the road during the say - and especially at night - are certainly unsettling; that deer seemed to have felt so too!

[@StrangeandSinister1]

In my research about his father Jacob and his parents, I learned the last name was originally Wehry and then later it changed to Weary. It's a German name I believe. Yeah the deer was making me nervous. I was worried he was going to run into the side of my car when I drove past him.

[@rgarlinyc]

@@StrangeandSinister1 Thanks for that update - yeah "Wehry" sounds German. I appreciate the research you carry out for these videos!

As much as I love spooky stuff you will not find me hanging out on Weary Road. Way too spooky for me. All of those stories are super creepy but the one that gets me the most is why someone thought it was a good idea to do car surfing😮

[@StrangeandSinister1]

And what's even more scary is that the mother taught them how to car surf! She took the kids car surfing multiple times at parks.

[@melanieiwasko6010]

@@StrangeandSinister1 Yes that is super buts!

[@kimglass4851]

Never seen anything on that road but it is a creepy road at night! Alot of fires imo is because alot of people would and still do, burn their garbage close to the house and they probably got out of control. Happened to me a few years ago but we got it in time! Great video!

[@StrangeandSinister1]

Thank you. Yes, I agree with the garbage fires, but these fires were set deliberately to burn barns down. I was surprised by the high number of arson cases there.

[@cakeoverload]

Very cool, reminds me of the road that leads to the Mothman bunker.

I watched a video once where someone went inside of the bunker.

I used to run every day on Weary Rd. Most of the street is pretty dull. that stretch of road with trees, before the bridge felt creepy while running/walking during the day/evening. The large tree shrub-like stretch after the bridge never felt creepy, however. I never heard about the urban legends until I moved out.

[@StrangeandSinister1]

The tree-lined part of the road by the bridge definitely has an eerie vibe. It's also a beautiful area.

[@DylanP-hp6yn]

I love being a wisconsinite

[@StrangeandSinister1]

It's a great state. I love Wisconsin.

[@tbuckly]

Man, that road gives me the creeps. Many years ago, a group of friends and I decided to check it out. Never again. It's been said that once you travel down the tunnel of trees, you're supposed to turn back around at the "T intersection," and that's when's spirits will greet you on your way back through the tunnel. We even stopped the car on the bridge, put it in natural, and even through its flat land, the car rolled backwards and stalled out on us. By the time we got it started up, we took off. Then we saw those vanishing headlights gaining on us and it seemed to be a truck but they literally disappeared as we got closer to the HWY. Great video though man, I enjoyed it! Keep up the good work 👍🏻

[@StrangeandSinister1]

Thanks for sharing the story. When I went there at night, I was driving through the tree tunnel towards the bridge when another vehicle went by me. They turned around and started following me. I wanted to park at the bridge and get more footage of it but for safety reaaons I decided not to. The vehicle followed me all the way to the main road by Evansville and turned the other way.

[@jpturner171]

Definitely going to drive this road next year when we retire!

[@StrangeandSinister1]

Be careful with those curves. They're very sharp and narrow.

[@BanalayerPete1972]

Very interesting and atmospheric! The road and countryside look as though they could be in England. Thanks for slowing down for the deer.🙂

I went ghost hunting on this road with friends about a decade ago. I was really confused about someone tailgating us at 1AM. It looked and sounded slightly different than a usual tailgate. They also were gone when I looked back about 15 seconds later. It was very odd to me, but it never occurred what it could have been till seeing this video ten years later.

[@StrangeandSinister1]

A white SUV passed me and then turned around while driving through the tree tunnel. I was going to park and film the bridge more but the vehicle was pursuing me so I kept driving for safety. It was weird and also annoying that the car turned around and followed me all the way back to the main road.

Lived in Rock County most of my life. Never heard of it and the stories told here my whole life.

My dad took me to this road when I was a kid. it was not far from where we lived. never saw anything like ghost or figures only got bad feeling from the trees growing the way they did. it is said that if you drive 3 times on that road something will happened.

[@StrangeandSinister1]

The tree tunnel does add to the creepy vibe of the place.

[@Veronica.A.]

Im sure lot of satanic rituals must be going on in this area. Not to add the canopy of trees adds to its creepiness. Another interesting video.

[@StrangeandSinister1]

Thank you. Walking under those trees at night would be even more creepy.

@@StrangeandSinister1 Nice.Looking forward to watch it👍

[@c.l.freeman7654]

Most of my time going there was high-school 91-95, the 70s/80s cars with the older speedometers, when you hit that third curve, would start bouncing up and down. That bridge there is the replacement (94 maybe) the old bridge was a hell of a lot better

[@StrangeandSinister1]

Part of that road is so narrow. It almost looked too narrow for two vehicles.

[@steveluberda295]

So right after the bridge at the corner there is a parking spot, I used to park there and walk the fields deer hunting. Get there before the sun came up, never seen anything but deer and the farmer that plows the fields around the bridge.

[@StrangeandSinister1]

Yes, there was someone parked there during my visit.

Should do a story about the haunted Jay rd in Wisconsin. I've seen some things there and still won't walk down that road at late night to this day. You couldn't pay me enough. Sit on the bridge late at night and face boltonville with windows down and car off. Then just wait

[@StrangeandSinister1]

Thank you for the suggestion. I'll have to learn more about that road. I've read a little about it before and it sounds interesting.

[@m.y.o.b.724]

It's a scary road at night simply because it's in the middle of nowhere. My biggest concern would be wildlife and oncoming cars as well. Not a place you'd want your car to break down for sure. The apparition could be that of the teenage boy, Matthew, who lost his life. I wonder if there are a bunch of pyromaniacs in that area. I'm just glad I don't live there.😌

[@StrangeandSinister1]

Rounding those curves was making me nervous, and the road is so narrow. Yeah you definitely wouldn't want to break down in the area by the bridge, it's extremely remote. One of the legends is if you park on the bridge and turn the vehicle off, it won't start. I decided it was best not to test that one lol.

[@kendalson7100]

Barns and businesses being burned is likely Mafia. There was lots of Mob activity out there for quite awhile.

[@StrangeandSinister1]

That could definitely be the case.

[@troyg3439]

It's not in the middle of nowhere, it's literally 3 miles outside Evansville to this location.

[@kjpphotography4764]

The first two times I went out there didn't see anything. The third time I was out there with friends, we had some creepy stuff happen. The 3rd time I went out there was with my friend Will and his sister at 10pm on a summer night 8 years ago. Will and I had seen a ghostly white figure at the bridge by the railing. We were walking up to the bridge from the wooded part where the car was parked. His sister Melissa sat in the car. As we got closer to the bridge, we saw something standing there. We thought it was the sign to the bridge, but when we got closer- it took the shape of a person. When we got 20 feet from it, it just disappeared. Once at the bridge the sign would have not been able to be seen from the angle we were at when we were walking up earlier. While standing at the bridge, I asked if there was anything is out here, and if so- make yourself known. We both heard a tree branch snap above us. I asked it to do it again, and it did! This really freaked us out a little and went back to the car in a fast walk. When we get back to the car, his sister said she wanted to leave now, due to seeing these white orbs floating around the trees. She said she saw a light at the end of the road that kept appearing and disappearing. Since then I have been out that 3rd time, the road never seems to dissapoint- and something always seems to happen while am out there. On a side note, you should go investigate Paradise Road outside of Jefferson Wisconsin. I have stories to tell about that place as well. I love your videos, and just became a subscriber!

[@StrangeandSinister1]

Great story. Thank you for sharing it. I plan to make a video on Paradise road. Do you have a scary story from that road I can use in a video? I can provide the email for my channel if you want to share a story.

[@kjpphotography4764]

@@StrangeandSinister1 @StrangeandSinister1 You must do it! Yes I do. Paradise Road- Jefferson, Wisconsin. My friend Will and I drove down this road early evening and got out at the 1st part before the wooded section, and heard screaming coming out of the woods. We continued to drive down the rest and got to the edge of the treeline to the woods and heard what sounded like fingernails tapping on the roof of my car. Pulled the car over once we got into the woods and we both got out and nothing was there- but the tapping continued for another 15 seconds and then just stopped. There is a legend that three sisters that were witches and were hung in the trees. So maybe it was one of them doing the tapping. There is also the teacher that got three of her students to kill her husband out there.

[@StrangeandSinister1]

Creepy story. If I make a video on the road, is it alright if I mention your story? If you have any other stories on that road, you're welcome to share them.

[@kjpphotography4764]

@@StrangeandSinister1 I am fine with you using my story, and I can back it up with my friend's testimony of that tapping on the roof. Oh, and on that screaming in the woods, we thought it might have been screaming goats in the area. But we never found any proof of that. Other than the tapping on the roof of my car (2007 Toyota Corolla S) and the screaming we heard, don't have any others for that road. I suggest you add the story on the teacher getting her students to murder her husband out there. I do have other ghostly stories of my parent's house on Hillside Road on my Pinterest account.

I’ve been on Weary Rd once. A few friends and I went to check it out. We did the stop the car on the bridge thing, the car started right back up🤷🏻‍♂️ We drove up and down the road once, we saw another group of people in a car doing the same thing we were doing and we saw a police car. Thankfully the police pulled over the other car because you’re not actually supposed to go cruising on Weary Rd

[@StrangeandSinister1]

They were probably checking for underage drinking and/or drugs. It is a public road and they can't do anything unless the driver enters private property or drives recklessly. I'm sure law enforcement tries to kick people out due to problems with vandalism.

@6:06 When the story said the car came to a screeching halt I thought the next thing we were going to hear was that the girl who was still riding on top of the car went flying forward over the hood, cracking her coconut in the process, just as the boy had done on the road behind the car. That would have been about the only thing that could have made that night any worse for their poor family members and friends.
