KNOCK-KNOCK ROAD

IN EAST DETROIT THERE IS A ROAD JUST NORTH OF EIGHT MILE WHERE A
YOUNG GIRL WAS KILLED IN A HIT AND RUN ACCIDENT. AFTERWARDS IT WAS
BELIEVED THAT IF YOU DROVE DOWN THIS ROAD HER GHOST WOULD KNOCK ON
THE CAR. THERE ACTUALLY WAS A KNOCKING SOUND WHENEVER ANYONE DROVE
DOWN THAT ROAD BUT I THINK IT WAS LATER DISCOVERED THAT THIS WAS
CAUSED BY A WASHED OUT SPOT UNDER THE PAVEMENT.
