SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — Now that October has arrived, it’s safe to say we have entered spooky season.
For those looking for a thrill or perhaps a chance to see something supernatural, there’s a roadway in San Diego County that’s considered among the “most haunted” in the country, according to an analysis conducted by car rental company SIXT.
To narrow down the eeriest drives around the U.S. after dark, researchers with SIXT measured search trends on Google and TikTok to rank the most haunted roads. They used road names and the roads accompanied by “ghost” or “haunted.”
