Encyclopedia > Annie's Road

Annie's Road is the section of Riverview Drive between Totowa Road and Union Boulevard in Totowa, New Jersey. There is an urban legend about the road that it is allegedly haunted by a "Lady in White", or a girl in a blue or white dress. The story is that she was going to her prom when she died after a truck struck her after she and her prom date had a fight. Totowa is a borough located in Passaic County, New Jersey. ...


Every time a person passes by Annie's road at midnight they are supposedly to see her ghost walking among the road, and she also supposedly appears every year on the anniversary of her death. Locals say that her father repaints the side of the road as a symbol of where she died. Right beside the road at the east end is a cemetary where Annie is supposedly buried.


The weirdnj.com site claims this story is one of New Jersey's most enduring local legends.[1] Whether this is evidence of an actual ghost or not is not clear. This site has an image of paint representing blood [2]. The legend is so persistent and well known that you can buy a term paper[3] on the topic. Cover of Weird NJ.
