Annie’s Road is the section of Riverview Drive between Totowa Road and Union Boulevard in Totowa, New Jersey.
The Legend
According to an urban legend, the road is haunted by a “Lady in White”, or a girl in a blue or white dress. Throughout all stories of Annie’s Road, one thing is agreed upon; [a girl named] Annie is said to have been killed on the road. After that, however, the story has evolved into versions ranging from the girl being killed on her wedding night and then being dragged along the road to her being decapitated on her prom night causing her ghost to return seeking her lost head. One story tells of Annie being stood up at her prom, and in her dismay decided to get drunk and walk along the road; soon, however, she is said to have been hit by a car full of drunken students returning from prom. Locals have many different versions of Annie’s story.
Alongside of the road is a guardrail painted red, where she died. Local’s stories say that on the eve of her death every year her deranged father returns to paint it, supposedly because he wants to be with his daughter once more.
Every time a person passes by Annie’s Road at midnight they will supposedly see her ghost walking along the road, and she also is said to appear every year on the anniversary of her death. One witness described seeing Annie as: “When you see her she appears to be a rather short girl who is dressed all in white who usually wisps away shortly after appearing.” Right beside the road at the east end is a cemetery where Annie is allegedly buried.
Legend has it, she comes out on Halloween as well, but you can only see her or hear her if you drive down this street with your headlights off, old music playing, and your windows down. Supposedly, you would see her on the side of the road or hear a scratching or thumping on the door. But be careful – the police check this road every Halloween for disorderly driving. Another word of caution; the Passaic River is right next to the road (some versions claim that Annie’s body was hurled into the river from the force of her being hit,) and people do live on this street.
Working as a Manager for Uhaul, when I do get spare time I sit with my ouija board, do as many paranormal investigations as I can, and research everything and anything paranormal. I am also very interested in railroads and model trains in general.
