CHICKEN ALLEY LEGENDS

 



On a stretch of country road outside Seymour, Wisconsin, it is rumored that the ghosts of chickens roam the night. If you stand there in the middle of the road, listening to the still night, you will soon hear the phantom clucks of various chickens as they approach the road from somewhere in the shadows along the grass. If you stand there long enough, you will see their ghostly images wander onto the road and cross it, only to disappear after stepping off the edge into the beyond.

I guess these chickens really did cross the road to get to the "other side."

 

But these feathered phantoms are not the only haunts creeping along Chicken Alley. Legend has it that sometime many years ago, during winter, someone riding their snowmobile at night crashed and died after being run off the road by a passing automobile. When nights are cold and winter nears, if you ride down Chicken Alley, the snowy specter of the rider will manifest on his snowmobile and chase you.

 

There is also a story about an angry spirit at the crossroads who yells at you if you get out of the car. How an event like this is even discovered, I don't know, but it seems that at the onset of dusk, a faint shadowy form appears in the middle of the intersection and will demand that you return to your car and leave. I guess this could be bad news if you're someone like Robert Johnson, but as long as you're not singing the blues, you should be okay.

Apparently, the street sign will sometimes disappear, as well. Some say it is engulfed by the shadow of the crossroads; others think it vanishes because there's some sort of rift in time there and the sign doesn't actually disappear, but people are seeing the area during a time before the sign was planted.

There is also a tree that only appears when the moon is full, leading some ghost enthusiasts to believe there is some sort of witchcraft or darkness that lies over the area, and this tree is a beacon for bad spirits that reveals itself when the time for malevolent entities is at its peak.

Definitely some amusing tales about Chicken Alley. I don't know where they could have come from or what sort of truth or experiences exist within them, but I thought they were worth telling just for fun.
