Old Stage Road

California · USA · Road

Old Stage Road runs out of Salinas, California and through the back country towards King City, and it has carried accounts for as long as anyone has been driving it.

The one handed down most often is set in the late 1800s or the early 1900s, and concerns a woman walking alone along the road and a man who stopped to speak to her.

What happened next has been told a hundred different ways and no version can be checked, so none is repeated here.

She is what people report seeing on the road.

A woman walking alone at night is one of the two or three most common figures in American roadside legend, and versions of it exist on rural roads in every state. That does not tell us nothing. It tells us this was a real danger, understood by everybody, and that the story was passed to daughters for a reason.

The road is public, narrow and unlit for long stretches.
