EMMET CO.
(ESTHERVILLE) "OAK HILL" - The road outside the cemetery is a favorite for local teens wanting to tell a good ghost story, and many have been told. However the stories aren't true but the illusion caused by the road structure makes them appear to be. To try for yourself, you need to stop your car on the surface where the road levels but the road infront of you appears to be going uphill. Once you've rounded the curve look back and you will notice that the road actually goes downhill.

Apparitions of children as well as hearing their voices call your name and sing are some of the reports. UPDATED INFO - A member of our board who is from this area has been kind enough to share the truth and to inform us that this is an Urban Legend. And after a recent trip there myself I will agree the report is accurate.
