Witch Road-Callan Road

Location Information

Official Name: Callan Road
Common Names:
Witch Road
Driving Directions:
From Fond du Lac, take Hwy 23 west.  After the Hwy M intersection, follow Hwy KK by taking a left (about a mile from the Hwy M intersection).  Callan Road will be the second left from Hwy KK follow the road (Callan Road) until the forested area which will eventually lead back to Hwy KK.

 


Physical Description:
This forested section of the road in rural Fond du Lac county has tall trees that overhang the rough road (at parts one lane).  When there is a strong wind, the trees (most of the trees are old and are breaking apart) sway back and forth, producing an eerie creaking sound.  There is a small house that appears to be white in the middle of the forested area that is mostly destroyed (probably from fallen trees).  Overall, this area, especially at night, seems like the perfect scary place because it is very dark (the trees cover most of the sky and surrounding area), Callan Road is a very desolate place, and except for the creaking trees, the area is practically sound free.
Trespassing Notice:
Most of the forested area is private property, including the part with the dilapidated house.
Other Notes:
