Highways connect cities,

but every city has a story. And Route 44 definitely has some dark tales to tell.

Stretching across southern New England, Route 44 passes through historic cities, quiet forests, forgotten villages, and some of the most mysterious locations in the northeastern United States. Along its path lie centuries of history, from Colonial settlements and Revolutionary War sites to infamous murder houses and legendary paranormal hotspots.

For travelers with an interest in ghosts, folklore, and unexplained phenomena, Route 44 offers something extra. Scenic views and roadside attractions: check. But this legendary stretch also provides a journey through New England’s supernatural locations. From the haunted streets of Providence and Hartford to the notorious Bridgewater Triangle and the legendary Redheaded Hitchhiker, this highway has earned a reputation as one of the region’s eeriest road trips.

So buckle up, lock the doors, and keep an eye on your rearview mirror as we cruise into the realm of the supernatural.
