Last night I was driving home with my girlfriend from a friends house about an hour away. The weather was off and on rain, and patchy fog.
My girlfriend who is open to believing, but has never actually experienced anything ghostly/paranormal, was sitting in the passenger seat as we were heading east on route 2 in massachusetts between 190 and 495. Suddenly she bolted straight up in her seat and screamed "watch out!!!" causing me to swerve into the next lane. I asked what was wrong and she claimed to have seen a man standing in the middle of the road. I told her she was probably dreaming (there was no fog at this point of the evening) and everything was ok. As we continued on towards rt 495, she saw a lonme figure standing in the middle of the left lane twice, about 3/4 of a mile past the first incident and again about a 1/3 of mile further.
at this point she was wide awake, and i had turned off the radio and was really paying attention, hoping to see something, be it a stranded motorist trying to flag down help or a specter of some sort. less than half a mile from her last sighting I began to hear a woman scream outside of the car. There was no other traffic on either my side or the other side of the highway, and the screaming went on for a good 3-5 seconds. i tried to get my recorder out in time but with road conditions what they were and the brevity of the phenomena was unable to get anything. The srtange thing about the screaming was even as we moved down ther road, it stayed with us at the same volume and pitch. I asked my girlfriend if she heard anything and said she had heard the sceaming as well, but also a low mumbling that preceded it. All of this took place between exits 37 and 39 on route 2 Eastbound at approximately 1-2 AM. We had not been drinking or anything like that, and i have driven this stretch of raod countless times throughout my life without ever having any experiences remotely similiar to this.
I would describe the screaming as hysterics, but toward sthe end started to sound like words, but i could not make anything out for sure.
Im looking to find history on that stretch of road, and would appreciate any thoughts, info, or comments.

It seems there are quite alot of accidents due to animals crossing before they go and build animal bypasses so who knows how many deaths have been on the road.

The Dead Lights in MA
by SPiragis@valinet.com
6 years ago I was with two friends of mine.We were walking up the end a
road talking about childhood,growing up,our fears and dreams.While talking
we walked in front of an old empty house (it had been empty for about
20years).As we walked by it we saw what looked like fire flies in each
window each a different color.We then looked around to try to figure out if
it was a reflected light we were seeing or if it was coming from inside
the house.(the moon was not out it was cloudy that night) We were standing
in the road and when we started walking toward the house.We all heard a
noise behind us a sort of buzzing noise (like a bottle cap spun off your
fingers).Suddenly a black ball like form went over our heads toward the
house,we thought it to be an owl or something.Then we heard the same type
of noise behind us in the woods a whirling sound.Just then a yellow ball 6"
or 7" in diameter came a foot and a half from our heads toward the house
by that time we were out of there. The very next day I was going to work
with my girlfriend (who is my wife now).We were traveling down route 2 in
Wendell,MA ,when I saw what looked like a deer in the woods the eyes
reflecting back at us.So I slowed the car down to about 40mph careful not
to hit it if it came over the guardrail.We were roughly 50'from it when it
came across but it wasn't a deer .It was a little blue light almost like
liquid light,a small 2"ball.I've never seen anything move so fast in my
life,back and forth fromthe other side of the road.I never told my girl
friend about the night before she might think that I was crazy. I thought
it was just me that had seen it .She said did you see that and I said see
what.She described it to me,It was the same thing I saw .To this day I
don't know what it was .It was a little more than coincidence it was twice
in two days ,and with witnesses.Two weeks later the house burned down.Three
years after the first experience, Curt(one of the friends I went with the
first time),another friend and I went to the same place to see if it could
happen again.As soon as we hit the property line we got this chill up the
back of our legs.When that happened I told Curt to start talking about the
same topics as three years ago.About two minutes later the other friend
thought he saw a dark shadow cross in front of us,neither me nor curt saw
anything.Maybe 4or 5 minute went by.So then I told curt to go back to the
same story when Tim thought he saw something.Suddenly we heard a voice it
sounded 100' away a loud whisper it said"hey hi"and about 3 seconds later
we heard it again but 6' in the woods to our left.We turned around and got
out of there,Tim is too paranoid anyway.Curt and I are still interested in
it.We both have had alot of the same paranormal experiences together at
least 20 different times.And I think that when we had that other person
things might have happened.I mean we may have got into a different mindset
accepting the unknown like a child would, and the stories gave us
flight.Who knows? The place is still active the are still cold spots in the
road at night.I've ordered some Infared film to try to see what might be
there.We are still very curios to what happend there in the past.

States build more wildlife crossings to cut crashes, deaths
"In 2005, Massachusetts installed four culverts under a stretch of Route 2 in a wooded area between Boston and Cape Cod that enable raccoons, weasels and small deer to avoid the busy highway."
