Book details haunted sites along Route 66
The details from this article came from a posting on 7-12-10 on the News-Leader.com site out of Springfield Missouri. The article was written by Sarah Bennett.
If ghost stories are the sons and daughters of legends, roads must be one of the biggest haunted houses they live in. From phantom hitchhikers to disappearing cars, the open road has often lifted our imagination and tickled the back of our necks. There are no shortage of accidents and rumors to feed the possibility for the unknown to try and make itself known there, and when there are already so many stories to make us feel as if any road may be haunted, ghosts start hidding behind ever street sign.
Writer and paranormal researcher Janice Tremeear is working on a book of such tales involving the mother of all roads. Route 66 has long been the backbone of the adventurer in this country, and such a famous stretch of land is sure to have its share of supernatural moments, and Tremeear’s work will focus on those tales being told on the Missouri stretch.
“Tremeear’s book will list Springfield as the birthplace of Route 66 and will include several of Springfield’s haunted locations, she said, including Pythian Castle and Landers Theatre…There are also locations in Rolla, Lebanon, Joplin and St. Louis. Sites in St. Louis include Lemp Mansion, Zombie Road, and Union Station.”
The book will be published by History Press.
