There's no shortage of "creepy road where creepy things happen" stories, but Nebraska's Seven Sisters Road is particularly unsettling, with the legend telling of a young man who, following a dispute with his family, led each of his sisters out to seven different hills and hung them from a different tree. The precise origins of the legend are unclear (sometimes it's the father rather than the brother, depending on who's telling the story) but it goes back long enough and is ingrained well enough in the local culture that it's taken into account when making highway construction plans.
