50 States of Folklore - Wisconsin: The Legend of Boy Scout Lane
Just outside Stevens Point, Wisconsin, a narrow dead-end road disappears into the trees. Locals say a Boy Scout troop vanished there long ago. Drivers report small handprints on their windows, voices calling from the woods, and a faint lantern swinging in the dark with no one holding it. In this story, we walk Boy Scout Lane by night, follow the tangled rumors of murder, accident, and cover-up, and listen for the soft crunch of leaves behind us. Some roads take you home. This one feels like it’s been waiting.
