Seven Sisters Road

The eerie tale surrounding Seven Sisters Road (now called L Street) in Otoe County has been around for over a century. Local legend offers two versions of this story, one that features a brother and another that features a father. So, the story goes, a young man used to live along the road in a home with his parents and seven sisters, who he brutally murdered, one by one. One night, the young man was said to have been in an argument with his family. That night, he hid in the woods and lured each sister outside. The young man then led his sisters to the top of each hill and hanged each one of them from a tree.

No official reports say this ever take place, but that doesn't stop the hauntings from circulating. Witnesses have reported driving on the road and hearing the screams of women when nobody is around. There has also been reports of the sounds of bells ringing that seem to come from a nearby private cemetery, headlights dimming, and cars stalling while on the road.
