Phantom Motorists: How do we make urban legend and ghost stories? While reading a wonderful book I found in the trash called Weird US, I came a across a section on haunted roadways. Strange headlights are seen in the distance, phantom hitchhikers beckon from the side of the road, and sometimes even jump in your car unexpected. Sometimes these roads are just in isolated areas which gives them that spooky qualitiy. But usually there is a common ingredient to creating a haunted place... a violent act usually occured somewhere nearby and enough people talked about it to create a mythical version of the events. What if Clandestine Garden could become such a place... a highly concentrated series of people coming and experiencing a place of violence in an isolated wooded parkland of NYC. Could art and enough people create a haunted place that becomes well known afterwards?
