Devil's Elbow

Indiana · United States · Road

The account comes from somebody raised beside this road. Red eyes, a woman in white, a baby crying, and cars that behave oddly on it.

The locals all call this road at Osgood, Indiana Devil's Elbow, and the person who wrote this account grew up next to it.

Over the years they have seen and heard a good deal: red glowing eyes, a woman in white, and a baby crying. Cars sometimes behave strangely on the road.

A lifelong resident is the most valuable witness this collection can have and the rarest. Almost every account here comes from somebody who drove out once, at night, expecting something. Somebody who has lived beside a road for decades has seen it in every weather, at every hour, sober and unhurried, and has had every chance to explain it away.

Ripley County is rolling farm country and the roads through it are narrow, wooded and full of blind bends, which is what an elbow is.

The road is public.
