The UK has its fair share of haunted highways, but none are as infamous as Scotland's A75, a stretch through Dumfries and Galloway often called the nation's most haunted road. For decades, motorists have reported bizarre phenomena, including phantom trucks, ghostly pedestrians, and animals darting across the tarmac only to vanish into thin air. Paranormal researchers such as John Hill and Kathleen Cronie have catalogued so many unsettling accounts that they staged ghost tours of the road, cementing its reputation as one of Britain's eeriest routes. From Roman legions emerging from the mist to an old gamekeeper haunting the roadside, the A75 has become a focal point for folklore and supernatural speculation.

Among the chilling tales are the experiences of two truck drivers who swerved to avoid what they thought was an oncoming lorry—only to discover the road was empty when they regained control. Another enduring account comes from 1962, when brothers Derek and Norman Ferguson reported a surreal sequence of apparitions, starting with a giant hen smashing toward their windshield, followed by ghostly cats, strange creatures, and even a phantom furniture van. Others, like lorry drivers who claimed to see processions of bedraggled ghostly figures with handcarts, were left so shaken they quit the industry altogether.
