The Valley
Delaware · United States · Road
A long winding road near Pike Creek. Things run out in front of cars, things chase them, and the trees lean in over the road as you pass.
This road near the Pike Creek area of Newark, Delaware is long, winding, dark and narrow, and it has a considerable reputation.
Drivers report eyes, screaming at night, things running out in front of the car, and things chasing it.
Near misses are common on it.
The detail everybody mentions is the trees. They line the road, and drivers describe them following and bending down towards the car as it passes.
That is worth taking apart, because it is an effect anyone can reproduce. Headlights on a wooded road at speed sweep the canopy, and the illuminated branches appear to move in towards the car as the light passes over them. It is the same geometry that makes the moon seem to follow you.
The near misses are not an illusion. It is a genuinely dangerous road at night.
It is a public road.
