Does your town have any legends of hearses or funeral cars? You might be surprised how many cities and communities actually have hearse legends. These legends come from somewhere and they may even have a kernel of truth to them. Here are some local hearse stories and legends that you may enjoy.
Summit County, Ohio
Residents in this area of the Buckeye State claim that a ghost-driven hearse will chase you down if you get too close to a certain house on one of the area’s dead-end streets (how fitting, eh?) People who have been “chased” say a ghostly figure of an old man is in the driver’s seat as the hearse chases down unsuspecting passersby.
According to local historians, there was once a family that lived in the area that owned a hearse. However, they do not believe a hearse chases people down this road because it is too crowded with trees and cars are not able to go through.
Similarly, in Summit County’s Old Boston Township, visitors have reported being chased away by a “phantom hearse” as they entered the town. Other stories in this area include a road called “The End of the World” because it has a sudden stop after a steep and winding drive. There is also a legend of a bus in which all the children were mass-murdered many years ago.
