Morrison Canyon Road

California · USA · Execution site

There is a turning off the canyon road down to a creek, if you can get the whole way down. The knocking starts early. The laughing starts halfway.

Driving down the canyon road above Fremont, California you come to a turning that leads down towards a creek, if you can get all the way down at all.

The knocking begins as you go.

About halfway down, you start to hear a small boy laughing.

The story concerns a young boy and what happened to him on this road.

Morrison Canyon is one of the more notorious drives in the Bay Area, narrow, steep, badly surfaced and with a real accident record, which is the practical reason it has a reputation and possibly the whole reason.

What separates this account from most road legends is the sequence. It is not a single apparition but a progression, and everybody who reports it describes the same order: knocking first, laughing at the halfway point.

The road is public and it is genuinely difficult.
