Has anyone been there? Did you see anything? becuase I'm sure by the third time visiting there we should have saw something. The story behind the road sounds pretty cool, but it's probably not true. If you have been there I would love to hear what happened, if anything.

Hello, I live on stagecoach road, and my family has lived on this property since 1934, at wich time the chicago mob had just fell from power and the roadhouse was seperated in to two homes and my garanparents purchased them, along with the stories of mob burials and such. They then purchased the third house on our property, wich as we understand was the actual stagecoach stop, and came with many stories passed on to us by our family. You may remember when you visited stagecoach, we have wagon wheels at the top of our driveway, and once you past us there was nothing until the sand dune. I can only say you were out here at the wrong time, as a resident of stagecoach and sober at that we never feel truly alone out here. did you enter the woods 2 blocks to the falling down 150 year old cabin? the 1800's dressed people originate from the cabin, being stranded and passing on as the result of familys moving west in the 1800's. That can be a real treat, although i admit to never wandering at night. The portage historical society has much information on stagecoach if your interested, but i found this site by accident and must admit being suprised other people have heard stories or have an interest . Thanks

Thanks for your post. That stinks that we missed it. It seems like we always go out on the wrong nights and we always miss everything. I'm atleast glad to hear that the road is actually haunted. We might have to check it out again. When we went there we entered from 12 and drove all the way to the end and then drove all the way back down. We didn't know about a 150 year old cabin. If we would have known we would have gotten out and checked it out. Roads are tough places to find stuff because they are so big and you really don't know what to take pictures of. Thanks for sharing your story.
Oh and to post a new topic just look in the right side of the screen in the yellow. Just click where it says new thread. It's no big deal that you posted here, but just in case you ever want to post a new topic.

This road is so not haunted I could sleep there. It has to be one of the worst we have ever been to.

I've been up and down this road many times.
I have only seen something once that could not be explained.
I have seen a white misty figure of a lady come out of the woods, pause in the middle of the road and slowly vanish before she hit the other side of the road.
This place is certaintly freaky at night. It feels like the woods are closing in on you at some points.
I'm also interested in the abandoned houses that are on this road. There are two of them that I know of and are visable from the street, but it's hard to tell if they are on someones property or not.
Recently they have torn down this old barn/garage thing that stood near the road. It's after (I believe) the second stop sign on this road. Everytime we passed it I always got a really creepy feeling.

In my opinion, 1050 isn't the only part of that area that is haunted. I live on the road that is parallel to 1050, and there have been some messed up things that have happened around my house, to my house, and houses around this area for as long as I can remember.
First off, let me just tell you all of the extremely weird events that have happened in this area. The story says that there was a house fire, well there has actually been a LARGE amount of fires in that area. My house burned down about 12 years ago, my neighbors house burned down 10 years before that, a house just 30 seconds away from my house burned down 3 months after mine, a house on the road perpendicular to 1050 burned down about 5 years after mine, two barns caught on fire on 1050, and a barn on my road burned down. And those are just the ones that I have witnessed and there still has not been any proof on how anything has caught on fire.
I do beieve someone died in the house fire mentioned in the story but I do not believe it was a boy. I have seen a ghost of a little girl in my backyard and in my house. Other people in my family have also seen her. For years we did not tell eachother we kept seeing her because we were embaressed. I finally mentioned it one day and then suddenly everyone else in my family said they saw her too. They described to me what she looked like and it was EXACTLY what I had saw. Weird huh?
There have also been other ghostly figures seen in my house. To this very day we hear people walking up and down the stairs in the middle of night, when no one is even up at that time, we hear voices in other rooms of the house, footsteps, and doors slowly opening right in front of us. I have only talked to one neighbor of mine who lives behind my house on 1050. She said that for some reason everytime she gets a dog it randomly dies in her backyard for no reason whatso ever. She said she has never been able to keep a dog for over 3 months or so because it will randomly die in the backyard. She could never figure out why her dogs kept dieing, there was no explanation. I have no idea if that is related to these hauntings, its just weird considering her house is located exactly on 1050.
There have also been a large number of minor car accidents in this area, which is weird because there is nothing dangerous about any of the roads around 1050.
For anyone that is wanting to see ghosts around this area, I would suggest you visit ghost road and the roads around it on more than one occassion. Whenever I have seen these ghosts it was ALWAYS when I least expected them. They never appeared to me when I wanted them to. Good luck.

I went to Chesterton High School which is in that area. MY boyfriend did theater tech for a while there and him and several friends of ours have experienced strange things in the auditorium. One day while they were up in the tech booth he saw a little girl walking around on the stage after school hours. They couldn't find any evidence of a girl being there at all. They would also hear footsteps on the stage while no one was there. Several times he would be up on the cat walk and suddenly start hearing footsteps. Once he was up there with a friend of ours. There were only three of the overhead lights on at the time and they were beneath the middle one. At some point they started hearing the footsteps. They would only go as far as the lights before turning around and continuing on the other side. As far as we know, the auditorium is the only area in the school that has activity.
