Being alone in your cab, usually at night, maybe on a stretch of unfamiliar highway, it's easy to be extra aware of things that might not just feel right. 

It may have been a sound ... or something you caught out of the corner of your eye ... or maybe just a feeling.

But, whatever it was, there are spooky things on the highways you travel every day ... and we don't just mean the four-wheelers you have to share the road with.

Many drivers have seen things that would not be out of place in a horror film or thriller on one of the streaming services. 

Ten years ago we asked drivers to tell us about the things that sent a chill up their spines while on the road. Here, on Halloween, the spookiest of days, we present tales from the Truckers News crypt about Haunted Highways.
