Trucker Ghost Stories: Legends from the Road
Trucker Ghost Stories: And Other True Tales of Haunted Highways, Weird Encounters and Legends of the Road by Annie Wilder is an entertaining and well-done collection of stories by various writers who recount spooky events they experienced, or that happened to family members or friends. Not every story involves trucks or truckers, there all involve some form of transportation.
There many tales of ghostly encounters, including famous hitchhiker stories such “Resurrection Mary” and trucks, from toy-size to semis, operated by supernatural forces – usually to prevent accidents or for other positive forces. Very few of these stories are about evil entities. Not all encounters involve ghosts, there are also UFOs (including an abduction), time slips, a mystery light, a ghost ship, phantom black dogs and an Arizona skinwalker. The encounters come from all parts of the United States, from Alabama to Montana and a strange encounter at California’s Donner Pass (where the starving Donner Party ate their dead) and an incident along Route 666, aka the “Highway to Hell.”
Annie Wilder has done a great job collecting stories from the road that will thrill you, touch you, and even make you laugh. The stories ring true. Anyone with an interest in the unexplained will definitely enjoy Trucker Ghost Stories.
