TROOPERS CRACK DOWN ON STONERS SMOKING POT WITH INDIAN GHOSTS ON HAUNTED HIGHWAY

Alow-slung Mitsubishi Eclipse, with its tricked-out muffler rattling like a hornet's nest, glided up the crest of the Osbourne Turnpike overpass over the Pocahontas Parkway.

A tinted window hummed as it lowered to reveal a pounding bass beat.

"Dude, are you dudes looking for ghosts?" asked one of the four teenage boys wedged inside the cramped sports car.

[TADSLOS]

"DUDE!"

[Jeff Chandler]

Running Bear's not here!

The aroma of what smells like marijuana wafts occasionally between cars, though attendees say they are burning Indian sage as offerings to the spirits.

Yeah, "Indian Sage." That's probably it. <|:)~

[GodsLittleOne]

Hmmm...maybe I should go out there with my pow-wow costume and pose as pocahontus!

"I don't think too many people are going to see anything except to get a chance of becoming a spirit themselves."

HAHAHAHAHA!!!...What a bunch of maroons..."Beam me up" and put a squirrel on my head.

No arrests have been made, but state police are concerned about safety.

This is just a few miles from where I live. I just think it's interesting that NOW the police are concerned. Perhaps they should've been concerned BEFORE their spokesman said "the noises are real..."

[Chesterbelloc]

A little known fact is that these ghosts voted for the democrat candidate in the last election.

that NOW the police are concerned. Perhaps they should've been concerned BEFORE their spokesman said "the noises are real..."

maybe they did it on purpose, just trying to get free advertisement for the new road. Sorry you have to put up with the mess, it is a nice quiet area out there. It should get better, I think the hubbub will die down when the weather cools off and the kids go back to school (unless maybe the Civil War ghosts decide to come out too and get things stirred up again.)

[tet68]

Come on, aren't there any submarine races nowadays?
Hey, teacher, leave those kids alone!

[Corin Stormhands]

Sorry you have to put up with the mess, it is a nice quiet area out there...

I'm not that close, but I am in Chesterfield. It's not like it keeps me up at night.
