The story of the Atco Ghost is set in Atco. The story claims that on Burnt Mill Road(the short one), there is a house, and a few years ago a young boy was supposedly struck by a car and killed while chasing his ball into the street. Legend has it that the boy's spirit still roams the road like a beast and looks like a man eating rat looking for the people who killed him.[2] A group of ghost hunters from Pennsylvania called BBH Productionz recently did a mini documentary on the Atco Ghost. While they didn't find anything in their search, they still aren't convinced that the legend is entirely false. You can check out the video and pictures from their documentary on their website.[3] The atco ghost is seen only at night when you flash your headlight three times. For other uses of the name, see Ghosthunters (disambiguation). ... This article is about the U.S. State. ...
