There are lots of stories in Maine that come with a creepy twist. We’ve got abandoned asylums, dilapidated ski resorts and even some actual haunted hotels. But, this story is a bit different.

You might encounter a ghostly woman on Black’s Woods Road. As the story goes, she was in a horrifying car accident with her fiance or husband. The car spins out of control and both are killed.

You won’t see this though. All you’ll see is a woman in need of help. Do you help her? She seems bedraggled - and everything inside tells you to keep driving.

Would you stop? Or would you keep on going, hoping to avoid the curse?
