It is said that the ghosts of three women who were killed in a car accident on this road, one of whom was due to get married, still haunt it.

There were a lot of people who didn't want me to make the film because they were worried something would happen to me.This devastating event which swept away the lives of promising young women left a bigger mark on the road than the pools of blood, at least one of these trapped spirits remains at the location of their traumatic death. You never know, you may just be one of those drivers who encounters the chilling spectre, who over the years, has become known as the Ghost of Blue Bell Hill. Both times she has terrified people with her grotesque features and the palpable sense of evil which emanates from her.
