Ghost Road Legend has it the in the 1950's a young man by the name of Dan/Dave Sweeny was driving a motorcycle down a desolated road in Scugog Township. He was driving at an excessive speed when he lost control, and was thrown into a field. Tragically, poor Dan was killed but his ghost reportedly repeats that last ride every night. Since that time, there have been numerous reports of a phantom headlight which crosses the field, then turns left down the road where it vanishes into the night. Another version of the story at least has some basis in historical fact. A farmer in fact was murdered in 1838 on Scugog Island. He died of gun shot wounds and it is reportedly his ghost who wanders the land with a lantern that is the cause of the lights in the night sky. Ghost Road at night Ghost Road by day
