It has been nicknamed Mystery Mile and is believed by supernatural enthusiasts to have all the hallmarks of a cursed area.
“Over the years, there have been many stories, and they go way back,” White said.

Kelley Road is believed to be the area in question as it has a cemetery at the end and all of Wolf Run, which is located next to it, is also mentioned.
“In the 1940s, they changed the direction of (Wolf Run) and it became a branching dirt road,” White added.
