The Midlothian Turnpike, near Bachelor's Grove Cemetery, is the location of "ghost cars" that just disappear and auto accidents that don't really happen. There is no record of anything that happened there to cause the many reports of unexplained vehicles, but they have appeared many times in recent years.
The reports are always the same. Travelers going west on the turnpike see the brake lights of the car in front of them go on and the car slows as if to turn off the road. But, as the following car pulls up, the first car just evaporates. Other people have reported passing these vehicles, only to see the car disappear in their rearview mirrors.
One couple said that they had an accident with one of these phantom cars in 1978. They had just stopped at the intersection of Central Avenue and the Midlothian Turnpike. The driver looked both ways, saw that the road was clear, and pulled out. Suddenly a brown sedan came out of nowhere, racibg in the direction of the cemetery and crashed into the couple's car. There was a shuddering impact and the sound of screeching metal and breaking glass. But to make the horrible event even more traumatic, the couple was then shocked to see the brown sedan literally fade away! They got out of their car and saw that there was no damage at all. They clearly heard the sound of metal and glass and felt the impact, but somehow it never physically happened!
It still remains a mystery today.
