Croisan Creek Road

I left my friends house about 1:30 am. He lived close to river Rd. As I got close to the stop sign there was a young boy standing on the edge of the road bouncing a ball. I looked right at him as I drove by and I couldn't really see a face. The boy looked at me as I drove by I could see him in the rear view mirror when I glanced back before I made the turn. Never heard about the ghost until I read about it online afterwards. The hairs on my neck still stands up when I think about it. Freaky poltergeist type stuff. Didn't give me a friendly vibe

We had several fatalities on Croisan, 2 in the small stretch in front of our house alone and many more severe accidents. No, driving above the speed limit will not bring about a vision of a haunting but greatly endangers everybody including kids going to Nelson park. The speed limit is 25 then increases to 30.There is a reason for this.

Our family home is still on Croisan Creek so I have driven that road daily. It is very narrow and has some great blind curves with the creek next to you. The road was built with Model T’s in mind, but people haul butt on that road. We’ve pulled many a car out of the creek and or ditch. What you see the most is many deer in the middle of the road, usually a mom and a fawn. Slow down people!!

crashed here a few years ago going 70 into someone at a stop sign

The road is windy dark and narrow. But it is very possible to go over 60 on croisan creek. I myself have done 75 with ease and know people who in regular old cars have gone almost 90. But it is probably not haunted

I grew up on this road. Used to party in the house next to that spring. It's very dangerous and I've seen several accidents. My dad even had a couple on this road (The property has been in the family 50+ years). Never saw a ghost but it is a creepy road. It runs along the bottom of a small canyon carved out by the creek and many of the driveways on the east side of the road, mine included, are very steep. Before it was paved, it was common for people to have to park at the bottom of the driveway and walk up. I myself have had many balls go rolling down the hill as a kid. In fact, we had a boulder roll down the hill from above and spook our horses some years ago. I'm sure people see balls roll into the road all the time. Especially around the Nelson Park which is also situated on a hill right next to the road. For the person who said you can't go 60 MPH on this road probably hasn't tried. The speed limit is 35 and it's very easy to let that get away from you. 60 isn't a stretch.

Regarding the person posted in Aug 2021, nobody is driving down this road at 60 mph, lol. It's a narrow road with bends and turns in a residential area. You'd be drunk with a death wish to do 60 so no way that's a trigger for seeing a ghost

Lived in Salem my whole life. The story of the boy and the girl goes back to the 1920s. The girl was the daughter of the Candal Orchard in South Salem. She was killed on Croisan Creek road in 1921? She is most commonly seen near Thistledew Spring on the road. Something about the water and its energy. I've seen her a few times. Some say she will appear in your backset if go above 60MPH.

After reading about this haunt I decided I wanted to go check it out since it was Friday night and I had nothing else to do. I talked my 20 year old daughter and her boyfriend into coming with me. We were all excited and hoping to see something. Since I was driving and being unfamiliar with this road I had to keep my eyes on the road so I started the video camera on my phone recording right before turning onto the road. As soon as we got onto the road my daughter and I both felt a really creepy sensation and got goose bumps and I could feel the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I held my phone up and recorded the entire drive down the road. None of us saw anything so we decided to drive up and down the road a few more times. We never ended up seeing anything while driving on the road but when we watched the video I recorded there was what looked like an orb just off the road on the right hand side about half way through the first big curve you come to. I don't know if the orb is for real or just my headlights reflecting off of something but I feel like taking the time to go check it out was totally worth it just for the intensely creepy sensations that my daughter and I both felt the moment we turned onto the road. I'm planning to do it again soon.

My sister on law learned about the legend of the legend of the two children. Also did some digging around to find out about them, no luck, but did find out about another death of an older gentleman in 2016. Didn't see the children but did possibly see the ball. And got some spirit box responses from the older gentleman. So it was definitely not a wasted adventure. ??
