This area today has been the focus of many reports of paranormal phenomenon. Accounts of cars suddenly and inexplicably stalling have been widespread. Other electrical drain phenomenon have been reported as well. Mostly, tales of car headlights suddenly going extremely dim when entering the area of hills of the seven sisters. Then after leaving the area, the car lights would suddenly get bright again.
Perhaps the most chilling tales of all are the numerous accounts over the years of travelers in the area hearing the screams of young women seemingly coming from the nearby hills while traveling on this stretch of road which in modern times is technically named Road L. This road is now known today as “7 Sisters Road” to the locals. Perhaps if you are driving in this area, you too may hear the spirits wailing in the haunted hills of the seven sisters.
are all the hills still there or have some of them gone?
The Dead Peoples Society(DPS) paranormal investigative team would like to know if there is available camping along the roads. We have audio and video equipment available to line up alongside the hills. Just concerned if there is a location where we cab unload equipment for the evening, aside from any vehicles….my phone number is 402-980-7936, and any info to assist with this outing would be greatly appreciated.
@Brenda, I believe nothing has been done with the hills.
@Tasha, I know there is camping near the road, you would have to probably contact the Dept of Roads in Nebr to find that out for sure.
Or maybe it’s just named after the Seven Sisters Road in London. England, just like the Seven Sisters Roads in other places throughout the world.
Me and a vehicle full of 5 people witnessed 3 ghosts one of the nights that we visited. We saw a tot, one a bit older and a teenager, all girls in nightgowns. It was so clear that you would have thought they were on a projector. It. Was. Chilling. This experience was unforgettable and it changed any skeptics that were in our vehicle.
Where is the road at?
There are even Seven Sisters Road T-Shirts – two of them at least! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076VJFZB5?th=1 and https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076VNQZ7L?th=1
