Headlines are quick hits from media outlets from Missouri and around the world. Follow the headline link for the full story. The source of this headline says:

Zombie Trail located in Rock Hollow Park near Wildwood, Missouri is a 5.2-mile out-and-back trail with about a 500-foot elevation gain. It was first used by Native Americans to cross the Meramec River, and saw heavy foot traffic during the Civil War. The path was greatly destroyed over time and nicknamed the “Zombie Road” in the eighties. There have been unexplained accidents happening ever since.

The story: Hikers have described experiencing dread on Zombie Trail and hearing cries, most commonly of what resembles an old woman. Multiple deaths have been documented in the area, mostly of workers experiencing accidents. Some hikers claim to have seen shadowy figures and blue light, and there was a horror documentary released in 2007 by the Booth Brothers called Children of the Grave that aims to show a “shadow nest” of ghost children still haunting the woods.
