Truckers’ Scariest Rest Area Stories | Scary Stories to Fall Asleep To

Pull the blanket up. 15 stories from truckers who saw something on the American highway at night that they still can't explain. Every one of them ends with something left behind. A glove. A wallet. A scratch on a trailer roof. Some of these will make you check your mirrors. Some will break your heart. And the last one is mine. It's the story of where my rule comes from. Stay in the cab. 🚛 A woman at an Iowa rest area asks a trucker to watch her 1981 Oldsmobile, and never comes back out. 🚛 In thick fog, a man in a hard hat waves a truck to a stop ten feet before a ghost ramp ends in midair. 🚛 A loaded 80,000-pound truck rolls up a Virginia gravity hill in neutral. 🚛 In an Iowa ice storm, a lineman climbs a pole and vanishes at the top. 🚛 A GPS sends a truck across a covered bridge in Indiana that burned down in 1967. 🚛 On old Route 66, a 1950s truck with no brakes screams down Sitgreaves Pass at night. 🚛 At a Kentucky rest area, someone sings a lullaby outside a sleeper window at 2 AM. 🚛 In a Kansas ghost town, a tornado siren with no power goes off at exactly 3:15 AM. 🚛 A trooper in a 1960s uniform asks for a ride back to his patrol car. 🚛 Every night on US-19 in West Virginia, drivers hear a coal truck crash that happened in 1976. 🚛 Six truckers stuck in a Wyoming blizzard spend the night in a ranch house that burned in 1988. 🚛 At the top of Raton Pass, a stranded driver keeps waving everybody on. 🚛 Tire tracks in the moss cross an Ozarks bridge that has been closed since 1994. 🚛 A sick old co-driver shows up at a truck stop asking for one more run. 🚛 My first year driving, at a rest area in Wyoming, something called my name in my trainer's voice. These stories are works of fiction inspired by real trucking culture, American road folklore and stories shared by drivers online. Names, places and events are dramatized for storytelling.
