Ghost. United States

Several American highway drivers are so often seen at night a strange overgrown humanoid creature that it is not fit to be nicknamed the "Road Troll." About these strange places was written by the American researcher Jerry D. Coleman in his book "Exploring the dark side of America. Strange highways: a Guidebook to American mysteries and riddles" ("Exploring the Darker Side of America... Strange Highways: A guidebook to American mysteries & The Unexplained"), published in 2003 and released in 2006, "more strange roads" ("More Strange Highways").

There are many reports of the meeting with this mysterious "Troll" in 1981, among which the best known is the story of a trucker named Gary Durbin from the city of Effingham, Illinois.

In that year, Durbin was driving on a remote road and it all happened near the site of mount Tyson in Arkansas, East of the national Park "Ouachita National Forest". Tired Durbin was driving at night and suddenly around the next bend in the road saw a creature that first appeared to him to be a bum in rags and with disheveled hair. Durbin took this man as living in the mountains of the hermit, who decided a night walk to civilization to shop. He'd forgotten about the meeting if she was the only one.

Durbin arrived safely on this stretch of road to a roadside café where we had Breakfast, then continued on his way and drove down the highway I-55. He had left Arkansas and crossed the border into Missouri, where he stopped to rest in a special area for truckers. Barely Durbin got out of his truck once again saw the same mysterious "homeless", which stood at a little distance from the roadside and stared at the Durbin. One leg is this hairy man was absent and was replaced by a wooden peg prosthesis.

Urbino became a little anxious, but he calmed himself with the fact that apparently some of the other truckers drove this poor fellow to the point of rest and landed here. But the oddities did not end. In that year, gives a total of five times observed this creature on different parts of the road and managed to see well.

"Increasing it to 6 or 6.5 feet (180 cm - 190 cm), a prosthesis of wood just below the knee. On the road you can always see it only at night or in the late afternoon near the truck stops in or near recreational areas. He always stands motionless, only slightly turning his head. Brown hair very long and most luxuriant beard. All of his clothes long out of fashion and highly ragged. In his hands there's always something like a small bag."
