It runs 7 miles of countryside road. Why is the road named this way? With its original <strong>history being lost<\/strong>, many others came afterwards with theories regarding the name and <strong>unusual activity<\/strong> that goes around.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Lenape Indian Cave at Shades of Death Road - NJ\" width=\"625\" height=\"352\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kpCZB-9FN8E?feature=oembed&#038;wmode=opaque\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>Theoires<\/h3>\n<p>Some say the road is named after a man who used to rob and kill passers along the highway, others claim it was because the atrocious vengeances of the locals due to the highwaymen\u2019s murderers that <strong>got them killed<\/strong> and have their bodies hung up as further warnings.

The second one regarded a woman who decapitated her husband and <strong>buried his head<\/strong> on one side of the road and the body on the other side. And the third one saw Bill Cummins <strong>killed by gunshot<\/strong> and buried in a mud pile.<\/p>\n<p>Other theories say that the name is attributed to the huge number of killings lead by the car crashes and others say that it\u2019s because of the wildcats that lived near <a href=\"http:\/\/nj.gov\/dep\/njnlt\/bearswamp.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Bear Swamp<\/a>. The actual and <strong>most prominent explanation<\/strong> is that <strong>malaria-caring mosquitos<\/strong> used to terrify the people every year and because the living area was so inaccessible to good medical care. It is known that, in 1884, almost all the swamps that were located in the area were drained.<\/p>\n<h3>Ghost Lake<\/h3>\n<p>The frightening name and theories aren\u2019t the only ones that gave the road such a terrifying reputation. South from the I-80 overpass is the place of a presumably<strong> haunted lake<\/strong>, also known as the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=i542QezL3I4\" target=\"_blank\">Ghost Lake<\/a>\u201d. The name comes from the <strong>unusual masses of something<\/strong> similar to vapors that lie above the lake and because of the sky that tends to be strangely bright around the lake regardless of the time of the night.<\/p>\n<div class=\"related-article_box related-article-right\">\n<div class=\"related-art-title\">Related<\/div>\n<div id=\"thumbnail_box\" style=\"background-image: url(https:\/\/6toplists.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/cover3.jpg);\"><a href=http:\/\/6toplists.com\/top-10-scariest-ghost-movies\/ class=\"related_a\"><\/p>\n<div id=\"thumbnail_box_top\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"thumbnail_box_bottom\">\n<div id=\"thumbnail_box_bottom_text\"><span style=\"color: white;\">Read article: <\/span><br \/><span class=\"related_span\" >Top 10 Scariest Ghost Movies<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The ghosts of the slayed people by the highway killer are known to wander off in the area, most of the time in the cabin that is located across \u201cGhost Lake\u201d.

The<strong> dead-end road<\/strong> is called \u201cLenape Lane\u201d and its frightening story is that the uncanny place is haunted by white apparitions and lights that might chase you.<\/p>\n<p>A case from around the 1990\u2019s reveals that a couple of visitors found one day hundreds of<strong> disturbing Polaroid photos<\/strong> spread around the road. The visitors shared some the photos with the \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/weirdnj.com\/stories\/shades-of-death-road\/\" target=\"_blank\">Weird NJ<\/a>\u201d publication which published a series of samples with images showing things like a television which was changing its channels, an unidentified woman which sat on a metal object who was alive but was not smiling. Once the issue was publicized, police tried to <strong>start an investigation<\/strong> but to no end, since the rest of the photos disappeared shortly after their publication was made.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>4th: Byberry Mental Asylum<\/h2>\n<p class=\"formatted-entry-p\">Byberry is Philadelphia\u2019s State Hospital Mental Asylum were patients were treated for maltreatments.
