Patterson Road
Patterson Road is also in Houston. There must be a lot of spirits in Houston. This could be one of the creepiest stories ever. This is considered one of the most haunted roads in Texas. You better roll up the windows and lock the doors.

People have reportedly seen things on the road and have heard knuckles tapping on the windows of cars.
