The Ghost Road is situated in the heart of the Big Thicket.
Trees growing on both sides offer a natural canopy as drivers travel down the long dirt road.
Its original name is the Bragg Road, named after the town that was in that area at one time. The name Ghost Road was attached in this century after a number of tales that center around a ghostly light that is said to be seen on certain occasions at night. The section of area was just part of the Big Thicket, thick with native and underbrush. Tales of a ghostly light gathered steam in the 1940's, '50s and '60s as more people traveled to the road. Some people believe the light is the reflection of car lights while scientists believe it is a gaseous substance.
