It is said that a woman died on the train track and if you go over the tracks that your car will die and she will come and push you off and then she will go down the center of the car and go into somebody and show then how she died and what she went through. And when you leave there will be blood all over your car.

Polk road is not even near huntington.  It is outside of south whitley, and it DOES run Beside the train tracks which are still in use to this day, the legend is somewhat kind of the same which leads me to believe that the Polk road in question is the road going into south whiltey.  I believe the legend is still the same, with many variations over the years.  the legend told to me was that the woman went out there after a fight with her husband looking to just get away, her car stalled on the tracks and she was killed by the train and no body was ever recovered.  She still walks this road.  If you drive out there between midnight and 4 am stop your car in the middle of the road, turn it off, and shut your lights off, get out and walk to front of your car, your lights will come on and you will see her walking.

I heard that the ghost was a women who lost her wedding ring on the road and then was murdered and that if you drive on the road at 3:00 a.m. you will hear a train come and then the woman will come and try to rip the rings off of your fingers. Supposedly your car dies. My friends have been there and seen the train- but never the ring lady.

Well their isn't really a polk road to begin with it's Polk Street, road would be outside Huntington in the county, which there isn't either, there is a polk county I believe, I would also like to know where it is.

i had never heard about Victor Cooley till today when i missed a turn then took another way and instead of taking another way i felt like i should take another route. and felt the need to get out and walk around. And i did nothing spectacular just felt like i was drawn to that spot. i was mainly born and raised in this town i have never heard of victor cooley till today

Yes, There is a Polk Road off of 205 outside of Columbia City. I have also herd alot of stories about this road but have never vetured out there at night other than to do a project for Chemistry. But, when I was there with the group of my friends we where parked right beside the railroad track in between two barns, it was proably around 3 or 4pm (Still light out).. we had the windows all down in my car, just setting there talking, and we saw a train coming but there was no sound! Nothing!   It wasnt until the train passed right by the window for us to hear the noise. It was very weird, because you can here trains from miles away! I would like to go back out there and try and see somthing more somtime!

Just went tonight and here is what happened. First we went across the tracks and saw a small cross dedicated to the woman who was killed there or whatever. Then we turned around at a creepy barn and then went across the tracks a second time. Then making another trip across the tracks we this time stopped the car on the tracks and turned the car off at 2:38am. After about 30-40 seconds of waiting we heared a faint train whistle in the distance and a light was shining to our left. As soon as we got across the tracks the arms of the train tracks closed and the train went across. The train itself was unmarked and didn't make any sounds except for the train whistle in the distance. Neither the train or traincars were marked. After it was gone we turned the car around and parked in front of the tracks and turned the car off and hear some soft thuds coming from the front of the car. Our vehicle then was pushed backwards ever-so-slightly away from the traintracks. Needless to say we freaking took off after that!!!

I've heard similar stories of haunted train tracks and children pushing the vehicle off the tracks, etc. But still, it was a good story nonetheless and it gave me chills reading it. Cool story but I would caution anyone to be extremely careful when stopping a car on any train tracks for any reason. It's just dangerous.

Ummm. to everyone in here. The road is called Polk road. It is just outside of south whitley coming off 205, You put your car in the middle of the train tracks then put it in neutral, then turn the car off. turn your lights off too. if you want you can put baby powder on the side of your car. You will feel vibrations and then see the light of a train, as it gets closer your car will start to move, you will just miss the train. when your car stops, get out and look at the powder, there will be small handprints like a childs. I don't know where you guys got this old lady but there is no old lady. a school bus full of kids was hit on the train tracks. You must do all of this around Midnight to 3 a.m. I've been there and i have witnessed this. so go out there and try it!!!

The road in question is called Pook Rd and is in South Whitley. It is off of 350W between 14 and 205. I have heard many tales about this road and have infact walked the road many times. There is also a story of between 20 and 30 bodies found in the swamp area on the south side of the road. Of course I haven't been able to substantiate these claims. My friends and I were just out there last night and walked the road. There were many things seen, felt and heard.

Hi,

Here is the real skinny on the Pook Rd. story. First of all pook Rd. is outside of the small town of South Whitley, Indiana. If you take S.R. 205 towards S. Whitley you will come to County Rd. 350 W. turn left on C.R. 350 W. Now an interesting point ,on the trip is a small bridge on C.R. 350 W. There was a gruesome murder which took place right at that very bridge, A man known as Victor Cooley was murdered there. If you look on the bridge there is a small plaque, it reads in memorial to Victor Cooley. Victor is rumored to walk the bridge to this very day.

   A little bit further up the road you will cross a railroad track. That road is Pook Rd. Pook Rd. is indeed a very odd place. In the summer it is very low lying and very swampy. If you go, make sure to bring mosquito dope with you. There are all kinds of wildlife in the area. There have been Rail;road accidents there. A vehicle was struck by a train there, as well as a man who committed suicide by train there. This adds to the mystery of Pook Rd.

   Now there is a report of a haunted railroad trestle, but that is actually located right on the outskirts of S. Whitley off of S.R. 205, You have to look to your left during daylight hours just to see the old trestle. many say that the newer tracks are the haunted ones, however this is not true. look to your left approx 500 ft. of of S.R. 205 to see the old abandoned trestle.  It is hard to gain access by foot to investigate the trestle. You will have to cross over private property to get there.

   Ask locals for details. Happy hunting, don't take anything home with you.

October 2nd, 2010.  Checked out the Polk Road Train Track in South Whitley.  Didn't do anything with the tracks, actually was to scared to.  I actually parked my van right in front of the road that lead to the tracks.  Not more then a few seconds later, the red lights alerting us that a train was coming turned on.  Now we would have seen the white lights for a train as we had approached the road to the tracks, but never did till we turned around and parked in front of the road did we see the train lights till after the red lights came on.   We saw the train pass.  the funny thing is We didn't HEAR a thing.  Not clickty clack of the tracks, no whislte,  not a peep.  I lived in Arcola Indiana across the street from train tracks and when the train went by, you would know it because it shook the house, but this train that went by, NOTHING!   the people I was with said they seen a ball of light moving around.  First over the trees, then in the field, lastly, on the side of the road.  To say the least we jetted out of there.  There was supposed to be a rumor of a IPFW Professor that was murdered and dumped over the bridge.  Right now I'm talking to my husband into going back with me..

October 10,2010.. We went back again last night to train tracks. Went a bit early to basically scope out the place and go over the tracks. Sat there for a bit, well that bit was a an hour to 2 hours..LOL Right before 12am, We had a visitor.  Not the one we were looking for but it was uniformed Local is all I will say..LOL He actually told us we were at the wrong tracks.  Now any one who want to go see the tracks. Its on the corner of Pook Road (they pronounce Polk, but its Pook road)  and C. R. 350 W.  in south whitley.  He basically gave us the story of Victor Cooley.  If you go over the tracks you to the bridge and stop.  U will come to the place were two men had killed Victor cooley back in 1988.  It was told they dragged him down to the creek and drowned him by keeping their feet on him.  It was also told that the track is supposed to be haunted to.  There was someone who did die by the tracks a man just at the wrong place wrong time and also another man had committed suicide by throwing himself in front of the train.  He also stated that there was a story of 2 little girls who had died but not by the same tracks.  He said you can't get to the tracks by car but have to walk to it.  Needless to say we won't be visiting that one...LOL He said its tracks that aren't used anymore and the only thing left of that is the trestle. The uniformed Local told us were we should sit by the track on Pook Rd.  So we did.  Nothing happend for a few minutes... Ended up hearing scratching on my van and movng closer to the door... I think we had enough for the night. But tonight no lights, no trains.   For anyone interested in knowing Victor Cooley Died on October 16, 1988 Which is next Saturday.  There is a plaque up on the bridge on the side he died. If you want, there is a supposed lover lane and which is by the bridge on the left side, or sit on the bridge.  Was told to be careful, many drunks go down that road, and over the bridge.

I have been to this road a few times with my friends and also heard stories of it. I never really seen or heard anything out of the ordinary but it does give u a creepy feeling. However the very last time I was there I kept stopping the car cuz my boyfriend hates going out there and I enjoy messing with him. The very last time we stopped I seen eyes glowing in the road in front of us as we were going over the bridge. As we got closer I seen it was just a ratcoon. I didn't want to be loud so I stopped and flashed my lights at it and quietly yelled out the window for it to move. It froze looking off to the woods on the left side (where the murder happened) my drivers side and then we heard what I can only describe as earpiercing noise. It was high pitched and sounded like two metal swords being struck or swiped together rather. Idk it freaked me out we took off. I grew up around here and nothing in those woods can make that sound. But Im planning to go back so if anything happens... I'll share.

in reality the rumours of pook road started when a young man named gary pook murdered his wife and then staged an accident on pook road to make it look like an accident...i know because i did time with gary in the early 80's
