The Legend of Zombie Road
Ghost Children, Indigenous American Burial Grounds, Train Accidents, Serial Killers, and a Screaming Old Ghost Lady? Sign me up!
Location: Wildwood, St. Louis County, Missouri
With reports of ghost children, orbs, serial killers, Indigenous American ghosts, zombies (?!?!), and more, Zombie Road AKA Rock Hollow Trail, located in Wildwood, MO (in St. Louis County), is considered one of the most haunted roads in America...but is it?
The Lore
Reports of paranormal activity on Zombie Road vary from experience to experience. Some people hear footsteps following them, there are reports of rocks being thrown, orbs caught on camera and seen firsthand by people, shadow people, and so much more. And because of all these reports, it’s easy to see why people consider it one of the most haunted roads in the United States. As there are a lot of reports and origin stories dating back to the 1800s, not to mention the location has a dozen names or so, I will try my best to organize the flow of information and lore, but it does get a little messy with some sources and their information, so let’s get messy!
Interesting side note before we begin: the first recorded use of the word “zombie” was in 1819.
As the lore is mostly timeline-based, that’s how we’re going to start. I probably missed something, but this is the main stuff that kept coming up time and time again.
Unknown Time Period
It’s believed Indigenous Americans would travel to the area annually to gather herbs, bark, roots, berries, etc. that were not native to their homes. We do have photographic evidence of this from the 1920s. It is said there is a burial ground in the area for those they lost during the journey, and they may have traveled the path that would become known as Zombie Road.
1800 to 1803
Ninian Hamilton settled on a 640-acre tract of land now occupied by the LaSalle Institute, Old State Road, and Highway 109.
1831
Missouri Pacific Railroad comes to the area.
1845-1909
Indigenous Americans were banned from living in the state of Missouri.
1854
The Village of Glencoe was officially laid out.
1859
A 16-room mansion and lime kiln were built by James E. Yeatman on the original Hamilton land tract.
Civil War (1861-1865)
Soldiers used to travel the area during the Civil War and there were known expeditions in the St. Louis area.
1868-1970s
Glencoe Marble Company operates a limestone quarry in the area.
1870s-1880s
Yeatman sold the mansion to the Christian Brothers which then was used as an orphanage. The brothers built a larger building in front of the mansion, which burned in 1875 and was rebuilt in the 1880s.
1876
The only reported death in the area that has a source of any kind takes place. Della Hamilton McCullough was hit and killed by a train while crossing the tracks. There was a report of someone getting hit by a train and the remains looked like that of a zombie, but it does not mention her death specifically. So, while her death is the only one we can confirm via an August 24, 1876, St. Louis Globe-Democrat newspaper article, there is a chance there was another death that we no longer have a name or source for. Is Della our zombie??? Is there a zombie on Zombie Road? I don’t think there is, at least not currently.
1900-1945
The Village of Glencoe is a premier resort community. As interest in vacationing in the area died off, many properties were converted into primary residences.
1913
Indigenous American children are reportedly tortured at a nearby orphanage. The name of the orphanage is not given. None of my initial research linked this with the supposed orphanage run by the Christian Brothers, but as it is the same area, and we know Indigenous Americans still used the area for traveling, we can draw a dotted line between the two.
1950s
Reports of an escaped mental patient/serial killer who killed teens and continued to kill after his death. Death by ghost or death by zombie? Or death by vampire? Ghoul? Wraith? Are we getting too broad?
The area gained the moniker “Zombie Road.”
1960s
Two teens were in the area, and one fell to his death. During his fall, his face and scalp were caught on a tree and ripped off.
1970s
Two teens were reportedly involved in a train accident and residents aided in the search for their remains.
A hunter found a car parked but running in the area. There was a hose running from the car’s tailpipe into the car. There was no mention if the driver died or was rescued in time.
1990s
A mother and her 5-year-old child were walking along the tracks when a train came through. The mother pushed her child out of the way to safety but did not get out of the way herself in time. In the documentary Children of the Grave, they mention a 5-year-old who died in a train accident in the 1990s, but it is not clear if these are meant to be the same story with human error or not, but it is worth mentioning the film was made in 2007 because at most the story would have been 17 years old.
The remaining homes in Glencoe are lost in floods.
2000s
Throughout the 2000s, multiple images of shadow people, orbs, cold spots, and similar are captured and shared online. Paranormal Task Force is one of the sources used when researching this location and they have a small collection of these photos and EVPs on their site. The most famous of the photographs is by Tom Halstead from March 2005. This photo is used as the cover for a documentary (that sadly I could not locate a source for online) entitled Legacy of Shadows. Also, during this time and as stated previously, Children of the Grave was released in 2007.
2010s-Present Day
There are still ample amounts of video, audio and photographic evidence and investigating ghosts on Zombie Road floating around the internet.
I suggest watching the research streams on this as we look over the more famous photos and listen to EVPs together. If you would like to watch the full research streams as parts are edited, you can become a member for $5/month and have immediate access to them.
Additional Paranormal Reports
As the timeline doesn’t really cover the paranormal stories themselves, let’s look over some quick bullet points of spookiness.
- Non-specific ghosts include Civil War soldiers, Indigenous Americans, and children
- Shadow people everywhere
- Footsteps following you in areas where “no one could follow you”
- Throwing of rocks and things
- EMF meters doing their thing and getting readings
- EVPs of unknown people talking and random sounds *stares* You’re outside.
- Cold spots *stares intensely* Out. Side.
- Orbs *stares *even more* intensely* You know my thoughts. You know my thoughts. You know my thoughts.
- A screaming ghost lady who retreats to an abandoned home and disappears when you search for her For real for real though -> life and afterlife #goals
- A ghost boy who fell from the bluffs along the river, died (does not say if it was the fall or drowning), and whose body was never recovered
- A translucent figure in white walks along the tracks and disappears. Some reports say the figure glows blueish-white at first then disappears on approach. This is sometimes considered to be Della’s ghost.
- While not spooky, the tracks themselves had a lot of sharp bends that often lead to derailments, which lead to the track service being discontinued. These derailments are a possible source of spooky campfire tales and urban legends.
- Additionally, being along the Meramec River, there are a lot of drownings that have occurred in both recent and forgotten history. These could definitely lend a hand in creating ghosts and ghost stories.
The Facts
The Many Names of Wildwood and Zombie Road
Zombie Road is known by many names including Rock Hallow Trail, Bluff View Trail, and Lawler Ford Road. The city of Wildwood is home to the following smaller communities: Centaur, Fox Creek, Glencoe, Grover, Hollow, Kelpe, Melrose, Monarch, Orrville, Pond and Westland Acres. All these names makes researching the area a bit difficult. I for sure missed something.
Indigenous Peoples, Orphans, and the Church
There were many tribes that at one time called the St. Louis area and Missouri itself home but for a period of about 50 years, they were banned from living in the state. Some of the tribes that once called the area home include Osage, Ponca, Kaw, Omaha, Quapaw, Cahokia, Kaskaskia, Tamaroa, Peoria, Michigamea, Moingwena, Shawnee, Delaware, Sac, Fox, Apache, Miami, Winnebago, Otoe, Missouria, Mingo, Cherokee, Kickapoo, Potawatomi, Chickasaw, Onondaga, Pawnee, Padouca, and Oceti Sakowin.
As far as the claims of Indigenous American children being tortured at an area orphanage, there were several that operated in the nearby city of St. Louis as well as the one operated by the Christian Brothers during the 1870s-1880s. As that was during the time of the ban, it is possible we have the groundwork for terrible things, even though the report I found was for 1913. There does seem to be a bit of conflicting information on who built parts of the building(s) used and when, with some claims of it being a church-built structure in 1872 and others stating it was Yeatman in 1859. Part did burn down in either 1875 or 1885 (again, conflicting reports), was rebuilt and became a school for boys to become priests, and still operates as LaSalle.
Interesting but random side note, as with most spooky places, there are claims of occult rituals and such, I didn’t include them as they were vague on the location (with one being counties over) and other bits I will include in my thoughts, but that aside, interesting that the claims are often said to be “Satanic” when it is the Catholic church with actual, documented history in the area.
Civil War Use
I am going to be perfectly honest here, I skimmed the list of Civil War hotspots in Missouri for ones marked with names I knew. Geography is not my strong suit, so if more than expeditions happened here, well, it’s the South, what else would anyone expect? But as there were train tracks and trails, it makes logical sense that both sides could have used the area for travel of some kind and if there were deaths, they could be the cause of area ghosts.
Glencoe Homes and Ghosts
Glencoe was an established resort community and as such, there were plenty of structures built for guests who later became residents and possibly resident ghosts. Reports say that the remaining homes were washed away due to floods in the 1990s, but based on photos from the 2000s and beyond, there seems to be a remaining stone structure or two.
As far as the screaming lady who retreats into a home is concerned, I didn’t have any reports of someone dying in their home or any kind of photos or video of her.
The serial killer/escaped mental patient story has him hiding out in one of these homes in the 1950s, but I could not find a report of a serial killer in the area during that time, and definitely not one who was killing teens. He seems to be as real as the Bachelor’s Grove Cemetary Hook Man. Again, sad face as Hook Man is my favorite urban legend. Well, sad face mixed with relief that a bunch of teens didn’t get got.
Other Reported Deaths
Needless to say, I now have questionable search history with the amount of death records and accident reports I read over in the creepy writer portion of the research process, but I could not find copies of articles or reports for the nameless death/accident stories. If someone would like to gift me a subscription to Newspapers.com, I would happily spend the next month combing through every article in a 200-mile radius in an attempt to find something tangible.
Glencoe Marble Company, Della Hamilton McCullough, and EMF
Glencoe Marble Company did in fact operate a limestone quarry in the area and Della’s death is the only reported death in the area that has a citable source. Other deaths or injuries could have happened at the quarry or along the tracks, but if so, and if it was reported on, it may have been lost to time.
 |
Della's Death |
As the area often pops on EMF meters (or at least in the videos I watched), I did look into whether limestone gives off such readings. I got lost in the math and science and have been chewing on them ever since. Equations are not part of my skill set. But here’s what I can tell you – limestone is “composed principally of calcium carbonate (calcite) or the double carbonate of calcium and magnesium (dolomite). It is commonly composed of tiny fossils, shell fragments and other fossilized debris.” OK, so I copied it, don’t be rude. It also crumbles/cracks/breaks easily revealing new layers. And that I know from being the weird kid playing with rocks but it’s part of the above info’s source link.
But does limestone cause EMF meters to go crazy? Good question! This is where the group got lost during our research stream and we never got an answer. Do you know? If so, tell me! Better yet, if you got one of the fancy meters I mention in a bit, can you send me a video of you testing it out with limestone? Yeah, the stone is different from that found still in the ground at Zombie Road, but it can be a jumping off point for further discussion which the nerdy girl writing this LOVES.
EMF stands for electromagnetic field and “is a mathematical representation of the influences on and due to electric charges. The field at any point in space and time can be regarded as a combination of an electric field and a magnetic field. The way in which charges and currents (i.e. streams of charges) interact with the electromagnetic field is described by Maxwell's equations and the Lorentz force law.”
Yes, more direct quoting. Bear with me as we go along.
Now, I have both questions and thoughts. Lots of both. So, we are going to take a brief skip down to my thoughts, so they stay out of the facts. And I genuinely hope that it creates some discussion on the topic of EMF, EMF meters, and ghost-hunting science in general. Because if we are ever going to prove whether ghosts exist, we need to understand the science behind the equipment and processes used to track/see/locate them. If you are a science person, a ghost hunter or just have something to include in the conversation, give me your thoughts and your sauce! I love talking it out, but I need you to give me something I can look over as well.
Lily’s Thoughts
Is Zombie Road really haunted? I don't know. I honestly don't. I have way more research that I must do before I can say if I feel it is or not as this really is another one of those places I could spend way too much time researching the history of. While looking over my notes and writing this, I found at least half a dozen threads I wanted to look into more, most notably the orphanage on the land. The history is what is getting me here and tying me to this spot. I always have something, don’t I? Well, this is it. Reading the simple line that an orphanage was on the site gave me the good goosebumps and firmly added this to my “more research is needed” list. Add to it the history with the church and Indigenous Americans banned from living in Missouri around the same time and we have potentially have something of note that really seems to be overlooked when people present their side of the lore. At the very least, we have the groundwork for an “inspired by real events” story and if you read this and write said story, please name your final girl Lily.
That being said, let's get back to EMF, ghost hunting, and while we are at it, my thoughts on Children of the Grave and similar ghost investigations I looked into for Zombie Road. Most of these thoughts come across a bit on the side of “all ghost hunting shows and channels” but I really mean the ones who are purposely providing content in a way that feels deceptive when looked at as something beyond general entertainment value. I do know there are those who provide spooky content in a way to inform and, like myself, hope to prove that ghosts exist, or they don’t.
Again, these thoughts and opinions are my own and come from a place of looking for truth, transparency, and understanding in content others have provided. If I am provided solid information I can trust, I have no problem saying I was wrong. So, on that note, prove me wrong.
EMF and EMF Meters
While writing this, I had a wonderful friend researching the topic even more to answer my questions while I attempted to focus on the spooky side. Additionally, I have had conversations with other friends who discussed it with their friends, and we discussed it at confused length on stream. Lots of normies put our heads together and want to know something: if DC EMF is the natural kind and AC is the man-made kind, it stands to reason that people, animals, nature, emit DC, correct? In other words, you would need a different meter to read your body’s output vs the device you are currently reading this on, correct? The normies have agreed this makes sense to us, so please tell us (and provide some kind of source) if we are wrong.
So, if we are accurate in our way of thinking, ghosts should read like humans do. They aren’t any more man-made than man himself. Correct?
Again, continuing on as if we are correct in our thinking (and if not, prove us wrong).
An AC meter will pick up on your devices, but not you, because it reads man-made EMF. A DC meter, the opposite. Now, there are meters that read both. I saw them on Amazon for $262.90, which is a heck of a deal and if that’s what you use, you can disregard my next thoughts. Because I also saw the standard issue AC meter that every ghost hunter from here to the Ghostfacers uses and yes, I’m being that level of quip, because why would you worry about wiring if ghosts should read the same as your investigation buddy on your meter? No really, prove me wrong. Tell me why and for once, I’m not singing it. I need to know why every ghost hunter out there uses the same exact meter (though for only $15.99, I can see the appeal) even though, logically speaking, ghosts should never be picked up on those meters.
Flip side of this discussion time. If we really want to think on it hard and give a solid argument, well let’s go. My argument would be ghosts can play with electricity, both with things like battery drain and making lights flicker, so there stands to reason that you are reading the energy they are tinkering with but what if they aren’t tinkering with anything? What if your batteries are good? Also, that particular cheap meter only reads about 2 feet away per its product description, so ghosts would have to be practically sitting on it. And if they were that close, wouldn’t they prefer to drain the battery from the meter itself instead of your camera 10 feet away? Batteries are batteries after all.
So that being said, prove me wrong. Tell me what I am getting wrong. Tell me how you take your readings and how the equipment you use works because I need to know. But you must bring sources. “This is how I do it” is not enough of a response in this case. I provide sources for my side and opinions; I expect the same from anyone telling me I am wrong. No sauce, no awesome.
Ghost Hunting
Now, while I am potentially pissing off paranormal investigators worldwide (though I hope we keep it nice and polite, don’t be rude, I just want to know), let’s talk about ghost hunting documentaries, both in the form of Children of the Grave and those I see on the YouTubes.
Again, when I say “all,” I am referring to those who purposely try to make their content look more haunted than it is. Those who purposely deceive, shroud, or in any way edit things to make their content look more than it is. Remember the Gray Man “evidence” I went on a rant about? Those types. Just so we are all clear. If you present your content in a way meant to actually attempt to prove the existence of the paranormal, you are amazing and please keep it up. If you say when there is a mouse running around moving things, I love you. If you say you were there for a month and not even a ghost fart was captured, let’s be besties. People who present their findings without fluff, filters, music overlays, or anything else “flashy” are my people. If you create, fabricate, or modify any evidence to purposely be deceitful and do not label it as such, the gloves are off. Entertainment value is only entertaining if everyone is aware that is what you are providing and nothing more. If you label it as “real” and it isn’t, well I usually try to get the swearing off the written part of my blog, but you know I think that’s lower than low, so I won’t bother putting more words to it. You can educate and entertain at the same time without being deceitful. Transparency is key.
Now that that is out of the way, let’s continue.
And yes, I do understand the difference between a hunt and an investigation is that a hunt means you are looking to see if it’s haunted, and investigating means it’s already confirmed, at least per the interwebs, but for our purposes of word flow, I use the terms interchangeably, like most normies do.
In the 2000s, we were all ghost hunting crazy. I had a standing date with my own TV any time a ghost show was on and it’s all me and several friends talked about, but it wasn't weird as everyone was doing it. We were a bunch of spooky people back then. Times were good. Simpler. Spookier.
It also meant a lot of ghost hunting shows and documentaries were coming out almost weekly. Plus, all the movies. Paranormal Activity came out in 2007. Now I feel old. Sigh. Children of the Grave also came out in 2007. For entertainment value only, I really did enjoy watching Children of the Grave and I would watch it again and plan on it when I am not using it for research purposes. It’s a fun time capsule of ghost hunting shows back then. But as far as being useful in terms of viable information, it’s not. I recorded my notes as soon as I finished watching it, so I suggest watching that video if you are interested in my thoughts regarding the information provided while they were fresh in my head.
Now as I've stated, I don’t like it when information is provided in a misleading way. And this was. Repeatedly. For instance, they reference animal carcasses found along Zombie Road and blame Satanists, not even occultist, straight up Satanists, probably because buzzwords. The images they provided that were stamped as “evidence” with case numbers and dates looked like they were just animals that had died in the wild and other animals and insects did their natural thing and had a meal. They also tried to make it seem like the photos were taken close in time to each other, but one set was dated February 13, 2004, and the other March 7, 2006. Two years apart. That’s not spooky. That’s nature, dudes. Additionally, they cited a case of a building found with dead animals, candles, blood on the walls. They failed to make it know that the county marked on those photos was Butler County, which per Google Maps is 2 hours and 45 mins away from Wildwood. I wish you could see my face right now. Y’all know the look I am giving. They mentioned the Butler County Blood Fest (TM if not already) took place in the 1970s but the photos they provided for that incident were dated 1984. Could the ex-cop they were talking to have his dates mixed up? Sure. Could they have used different photos and simply forgot to throw up a little “not actual photos” disclaimer? Yep. Could they also have made it up for shock value? You betcha. I do want to also note that the ex-cop said the blood was human blood, but they didn’t test it as they had no way to test it. Why was untested blood assumed to be human? Why not animal blood if animal bodies were found in the same location at the same time? Was it tested to determine animal or human but not beyond that and they just didn’t clarify?
Another thing I need to point out is their method of showing what they claim is proof ghosts exist. It’s hard to type this in a way that makes sense, especially after I tried explaining verbally in my thoughts video, but they would show the woods, then cut real fast to a screen, then quickly to the group of people, then back to the woods, then back to the people, then, then, then, all with music overlaid and just too much rapid movement while claiming they are capturing shadow people. They clearly had cameras rolling all at the same time, take an extra two minutes to show us the full clips of each camera’s capture. Edit out the Butler County Blood Fest to show the full footage if it’s real. And show it without music and banging for jump scares. Let the footage speak for itself.
But I’m getting lengthy, so I am going to end my thoughts on Children of the Grave and move on to a few other things from this piece of lore that didn’t sit right with me. If you have watched the research, you will know some of it, if you are a member of my free Discord community, you will have seen my rants on others, and then some I have kept to myself as I don’t want to upset everyone with my questions and thoughts.
Zombie Road has a famous photo associated with it, taken by Tom Halstead in March 2005. This photo shows a bunch of shadow figures in the trees. In many versions of the photo online, it has been edited to include a reflection below it (presumably the river) without the shadow figures. Tom did pass away, so I will never be able to ask him questions about what all happened when he took the photo, like did he see the shadow figures or what made him take that photo or what was the weather like? It’s just hard to trust a photo that has knowingly had so much editing done to it but also just kind of looks fake. Please don’t hate me! It does though. And speaking of photos that feature shadow people that look fake, each one we looked at together on stream, as a group we thought they looked a bit like dark room fun happened. I even proved that if you simply lighten the original images without cutting out the shadow person shape, you lighten the shadow person too and it didn’t make it all that easier to see. In order to see the figures out right, you either needed life-size prints or knew you were capturing something, but in the case of these photographs, they didn’t know what they were capturing until after they were reviewing them.
My other issue comes from a YouTube watch I did on my own of an investigation at Zombie Road. This group had two skeptics and one believer. The believer made me turn it off 20 minutes into a 34-minute video. I rarely do that. But things that were very clearly lens flares, bugs, and known sounds were being presented as “this proves ghosts” and I just couldn’t watch. Much like if you fake evidence, I can no longer trust you to bring me anything real, it is all faked in my mind, if you call bugs or lens flares “ghosts” because you fail to see the normal before the paranormal, I can’t lean on you for knowledge. We must be smart as well as spooky. We must know how the equipment works so we can explain why we use it. We must know what happens when you have your camera aimed towards a light source so we can dismiss the “orb” that appeared.
Now, I still have more I want to continue talking about, but I have been rather wordy, and I appreciate each and every one of you who have stayed with me until now. So, I am going to wrap up my written so I can write the wrap-up and get that on the YouTubes in a timely fashion.
I'm genuinely not trying to be the person who always rips apart everything I see or hear as fake or misleading, but I do want the truth. If I’m wrong, tell me but also show me. Let’s have a discussion. I may be full of sass and sweet tea, but I also listen to those who are willing to have respectful conversations. I am here to learn and to share what I have learned with the world. So, teach me. Teach us. I always was the teacher’s pet after all.
Until next time, Lore Lovers, stay spooky💖
