    Florida has more redeeming qualities than Maryland.

    About 7-8 years ago in a construction zone on I -40 an hour east of Nashville, I saw a semi fully engulfed in flames after colliding with a concrete road barrier that was diagonal to the road that the driver somehow managed to hit head on. The traffic going both directions was squeezed down to just two lanes right next to each other so you drove just 10 feet from the accident. You could see the driver, burned black and still on fire, unmoving with both hands still on the steering wheel.

    Oakland after midnight. The Tenderloin any time of day. East Palo Alto always things to see.
    I live off of 84 Niles Canyon. They did a documentary on the white witch.

    Sounds traumatic to witness. A year ago in Haslet I pulled off to help a person involved in a head on collision. Dumped about 4 fire extinguishers trying to put out the car fire he was immobilized 2 feet from. Once the medics arrived, helped put him on a stretcher to move him from the fire. He broke his hip/back, (was on the ground belly down with his feet almost touching the back of his head) and tore all the flesh off his knee area due to steering area impact. Shiny white bones in the knee had me gagging.

    Centralia Pa. I think it’s us 42 or us 61, but that’s a real ghost town. Silent Hill movies, books and video games was based on that town.

    I went there on a motorcycle adventure with my friends. The day that I went there, there was this thick fog sitting on top of the town. We couldn’t see anything past beyond the road block, and I don’t think you’re supposed to enter that town.

    The road going there feels dreadful like you’re being watched.

    Stephen King thinks the state of Maine is haunted? No, I think Pennsylvania is way more scarier. Driving on one lane backroads at night, so many cemeteries on the side of the road. The day I see someone with long black hair, white dress, crawling on the side of the road is the day both of my feet will be on the gas pedal lol.
