Oxford Milford Road

Ohio · USA · School

Drive to the end, turn round, flash your lights three times. First the small red lights, then the single headlight of a motorcycle coming down the road.

Oxford Milford Road runs off Oxford Road in Ohio, past Wehr Road, out toward the campus. Take it to the end, follow the curve, pull into the first yard on the right, turn around and come back out onto the road.

Then flash your headlights three times.

The sequence people report is the same in every telling and it comes in two stages. First, small red lights flashing somewhere ahead. Then a single headlight, a motorcycle, coming down the road toward you.

Road rituals of this kind are among the most widespread pieces of American folklore, and Ohio has a particular concentration of them around its college towns. What distinguishes this one is the two stage structure: the red lights are described as a warning that the second part is coming.

This is a public road, narrow and unlit, and the ritual asks drivers to turn around in a stranger's yard at night. Neither of those things is a good idea, whatever else is out there.
