Bloods Point Road

Located at: between Fairdale & Pearl Rd. in Boone County

SE of Cherry Valley , IL 61016

Bloods Point Road runs between Fairdale and Wheeler Roads with various other intersections from Stone Quarry to Cherry Valley completing the radius injecting with the area, making it one of the worst known hot beds in the state for paranormal energy that has been reported as actively haunted with ghostly sights and strange activity that simply cannot be explained. The local myth surrounding the ghost sightings include that of disembodied figures that appear to be that of a stench infested witch who is so disgustingly morbid to look at for more than a second or you will lose your lunch at the very sight of her to various restless corpses that were not given the proper burial that every human being has a right to expect, but instead were hung haphazardly by the neck without the least bit of mercy.

Traveling along Bloods Point Road, this haunted no man's land comes alive during the late night hours when the moon offers a peak into the evil that lurks in and around the darkened trees. The feeble minded cannot help but to notice that the trees begin to take on the form of human beings standing guard while watching your every move, and when on foot their wooded limbs stretch in an effort to reach out and grab you. Perhaps the trees are attempting to warn you of things to come if you dare to continue on, but many claim that the heavily wooded area where the trees breathe life are where the ghosts congregate, and if you are quiet, you can watch their every move until they catch site of those that dare to trespass on their sacred grounds.

One of the legends handed down involves the decomposing and rancid smelling witch Beaula, who is believed to have hung her children and then herself from the Bloods Point Bridge. She has been seen walking late at night as if in search of someone or something as witnessed when you dare to look into her demonic red eyes that openly penetrate the very thing that they are staring back at. It is rumored that by simply laying your eyes on her ominous being you will feel the overpowering urge to run, but you find yourself incapable of doing so as an even stronger urge to vomit takes over even more. Bad luck often follows any living soul that is unfortunate enough to come in contact with this wretched woman who now walks among the restless corpses forever stuck in a dead mans' hell. Beaula's black cat has been known to run in front of vehicles, causing them to swerve to the side of the road where you will most likely find the feline's owner walking along her path.

Phantom vehicles from big rigs and old school buses to vintage pick-up trucks are known to travel Blood Points Road all hours of the night, and a blaring red light from a ghost cop car has been seen by many unsuspecting travelers unfortunate enough to find them in the area where dead men walk. The railroad bridge is forever etched with memories of screaming children fighting for their lives after their school bus mysteriously crashed. The cries of help coming from the small passengers can still be heard on certain nights where the sound of no wind can be heard, but the distant anguish of suffering is the only sound that greets you. Mystery lights shine through the trees on Bloods Point Road and the highest percentage of paranormal activity has involved the bridge. Apparitions of both children and adults have been seen, and barking hellhounds have been known to chase cars down the road.

Founded in 1836, the Blood Points cemetery unfortunately falls prey to ghost hunters and thrill seekers, but the fact is that vandals of the historical grave site will meet with a life time of bad luck as disrespect to any of the markers of the many deceased residents of Boone County who lay beneath the tombstones and other monuments will forever haunt their souls by communicating with those from the other side that have the power to invade the mind of the living who reek of evil thoughts. Trespassers of the cemetery will be prosecuted and it is under a community watch 24 hours a day.

Hellhounds have been spotted guarding the cemetery, and there have been several reports from visitors that the dogs do in fact attack, but they vanish after biting their victims, so catching them is virtually impossible. Paranormal investigators are drawn to Blood Points Road due to the high activity of ghosts and spirits seen walking along the many stretches of road. Researchers and investigators have joined forces and created the Bloods Point Restoration Project.
