Florida’s I-4 Dead Zone
What happens when you cover graves with fill dirt instead of moving them? Apparently on a stretch of road between Orlando and Daytona Beach, you get a Dead Zone. Since 1963 there have been over 2,000 accidents reported on this particular stretch of road on I-4. Could ghosts be the cause of the accidents?
According to author Charlie Carlson, people have been reporting ghosts, ghost vehicles, orbs, ghost hitchhikers and more. Mr. Carlson is the author of the book, Weird Florida.
The bodies buried there are very real, not some myth. The graves were cornered off and were supposed to be moved when an error occurred and they were buried even deeper under the burgeoning highway. The bodies are those from a settlement known as St. Joseph’s Catholic Colony. The individuals died during a yellow fever outbreak in the late 1800’s. The graves include two adults and two children.
It is unknown whether or not these are the ghosts haunting travelers, or those who have been killed on this stretch of highway since 1963. Travelers beware!
