Geneva, Nebraska – Picture this: a winding road, two bridges, and a tragic story that has haunted the town of Geneva, Nebraska for generations. Welcome to Smitty’s Curve, a place where the line between reality and folklore blurs, and the echoes of the past still linger in the night air. Locals will tell you: this paranormal place is the most haunted road in the entire Cornhusker State!
The Legend of Smitty
As the story goes, a young man known simply as “Smitty” met his untimely demise on this very road. One fateful night, Smitty, unfamiliar with the treacherous curves, sped down the road in his brand new car. As he approached the first bridge, he lost control, sending his vehicle careening into the murky waters below.
A Desperate Cry for Help
Miraculously, Smitty managed to crawl out of the depths and drag himself up the hill, his body battered and broken. He stumbled towards a nearby barn, hoping to find help, but fate had other plans. Some say the bitter cold claimed his life that night, while others believe his injuries were too severe. Regardless, Smitty never made it out of that barn alive.
The Haunting Begins
Today, when the conditions are just right, locals claim you can see Smitty’s ghost, still struggling to reach the barn. His anguished cries and groans pierce the night, sending shivers down the spines of those brave enough to venture near. But beware, if you try to approach him, he’ll vanish into thin air, leaving you questioning your sanity.
Smitty’s Mischievous Spirit
Another twist to the tale suggests that Smitty’s ghost has a playful side. If you dare to park on the second bridge, honk your horn three times, flash your lights twice, and then exit your car, Smitty will supposedly lock the doors behind you. And if you’re foolish enough to turn off your engine on the bridge, he’ll tamper with it, leaving you stranded in the middle of nowhere.
A Second Haunting
As if Smitty’s tale wasn’t enough to send chills down your spine, there’s another legend associated with this haunted road. Some locals believe that the ghost of a young boy who hanged himself in a nearby barn also roams the area, adding to the eerie atmosphere.
Conclusion
While it’s difficult to separate fact from fiction in the case of Smitty’s Curve, one thing is certain: this haunted road has captured the imagination of Geneva’s residents for generations.
Whether you believe in ghosts or not, there’s no denying the thrill of sharing a spooky story on a dark, moonless night. So, the next time you find yourself in Geneva, Nebraska, take a drive down Smitty’s Curve—if you dare. Safe (and spooky) travels!
