A Boy Riding a Tricycle

One story that goes along with Demon's Road is of a boy that rides down the road on his tricycle. Some have said they're able to see a smoky figure with glowing eyes coming toward them but then disappears into a fog. Other stories claim that the boy can sense a great wrong you have done.

He will turn and stare at you with his red eyes and gaze into your soul. He then follows you home and suffocates you and pulls your spirit into Hell.

Hand From the Grave

Another story involves Martha Chapel Cemetery which is just off of Demon's Road. In 2001, a man from Houston got his buddy to ride with him to the cemetery. They park by the graveyard and the man gets out while noticing that his friend seems to be asleep in the passenger seat.

The man begins walking through the cemetery and notices part of the ground moving by a grave he's standing close to. A hand reaches up from the ground and grabs the man.

His friend shows up and they stomp the hand back into the ground. They run back to car only to find his friend is still "asleep" in the passenger seat. The man jumps in the car and discovers about a mile down the road that his friend is dead. He had a heart attack while on Demon's Road heading to the cemetery.

If I need something. No matter what, unless it’s life or death, I steer clear of that sucker once the sun goes down. That place ain’t no good. Not a place for any law-abiding Christian. The Devil take that land.

This next story is of a faceless monster that will stalk your drive along Demon's Road. The creature will hover beside you along the tree line but leave you alone for the most part. However, if you call out to it, it will charge at you. This spirit won't attach to you as its believed to only be able to move along Demon's Road.

This final story says that if you travel down Demon's Road between midnight and 4 a.m., you could come across a series of red lights. These are harmless unless you look directly at the lights. They will become aggravated and charge at you and cause a temporary amnesia of the moment the light hits you.
