Wilcox Rd. Railroad Tracks - Poplar Bluff,Missouri

Once you turn on Wilcox road, after about 1/4 of a mile the road will fork and you need to go left at the fork. The road is curvy and paved, but after a few miles it turns into gravel. Once the road turns to gravel go forward for about another mile till you come to a railroad crossing. Most people do this at midnight, but people have reported seeing spirits as early as 10 pm. The story goes that in the early 1900's a train de-railed killing most of it's passengers. But many odd things turned up once they began to investigate the wreck. A few things were that a woman had been pregnant when she was killed in the wreck and once they found her, the baby was missing out of her womb. Another man had become decapitated during the wreck and the police could never find his head. So once you get to the railroad track you pull onto the tracks and shut off your car.
Your windows start to fog up very quickly and you can hear a train whistle in the background, it gets louder...then stops. You will often also see a light when you look down the train tracks. While sitting in the car you will hear something tap on your window and if your brave enough to look outside a woman will be standing there asking you where her baby is. And for the extremely brave, if you decide to get out of your car you will see a decapitated man in the ditch searching for his head, many people have saw this.

  1. I am looking to fine the day, month, and date of this crash, so we can better understand, and go to our local library and search through the archives, but we need at least a year or it will take us at least six months or more to find news paper clippings or...etc. You can contact me at joshgalamore@rocketmail.com

  3. I have to agree.Im in to visiting paranormal places. Most of the time you go these places and nothing happens . That was definitely not the case on wilcox road.Me my wife and daughter went there to check it out.We knew about the the two young girls that were hurt out there and thats what we were talking about not even thinking about anything paranormal.Iwas parked about twenty feet from the tracks engine off door open dome light on when out of nowhere plain and loud as hell we all heard a man moaning loud!!! It sounded like something from a zombie movie.Even my 4 year old daughter recognized what she heard . I felt like a shitty parent listening to my little girl trying to rationalize in her little mind why there was a strange man out there alone at night making noises like that.Me and her mom told her it was a cow but a cow it wasnt. If your going out there at night to satisfy curiosity ill save u some time in telling u its definitely haunted. If u do go plz be careful.Those tracks are also the perfect place to get hit by the amtracs that come through there.

  4. I used to live in a house at the corner of Wilcox Rd and N. Main St. My daughter and her 3yr old son lived with my wife and me, but they lived in the basement.
    We finally got used to hearing a Baby Cry at various times, even though we knew it wasn't our Grandson. But he used to talk about "a man with no head" coming into his room all the time. He never seemed frightened or scared.....and we just thought it was his imagination. Until......I found this article. He's 22 now. And STILL claims he was being visited by a "man with no head". I asked one time what he was wearing...and he said "I really don't know, but he was dressed sorta like an old western movie, but he had more of a suit and vest and a pocket watch ......
