Chicken Alley is a simple country road consisting of four corners and not much else. The stretch of road lies outside of Seymour, Wisconsin, and is reported to have some very odd phenomenon attached to it.

I'm a believer of ghosts and most things paranormal, but I must admit I was more than a bit skeptic about the presence of fowl ghosts here. Still we went since our travels brought us to the region of Chicken Alley. Who are we to pass up an opportunity to check something out, even if it did appear to be far-fetched?

We arrived at the intersection of road referred to as Chicken Alley at about sunset. There was enough daylight there to accomplish what we came there to do: take photos note down any activity, and to do the dare listed in the Road Guide To Haunted Locations (the Wisconsin edition.)

The road sign for Chicken Alley was clearly visible on our trip here. It's said that the sign has a tendency to disappear. Though, from what I've seen disappearing street signs at reportedly haunted areas is anything but supernatural.

I proceeded to take some random photos. I made note of which ones were taken when there was a car in the distance so as not to assume the headlights were paranormal in origin. I also took a video clip here. I wasn't exactly sure why, maybe for EVP or something, but I figured why not try it? Nothing out of the ordinary appeared on the video, but we did get several questionable photos.

The Dare

The dare at Chicken Alley is to stand in the middle of the intersection and see if a disembodied voice yells at you to get out of the road. Both my husband and I did this with no scolding from this unseen person.

The Photos

Our photos depict some interesting shots. These shots have orbs in them, weird lights where there were none, and lights that appear to be in motion. I'm sure some of these shots are probably false positives. I have a lot of shots after the positive ones that are clear with same or similar conditions as well. I'm not sure what's what, but some have been looked at by a paranormal psychologist (and he's requested a copy of the others that we got something odd in as well.)

Good article. I have to say it sounds fun going to the haunted spots and trying the dare. I'm not that brave but it does sound fun.

I still snicker at some of these stories, but at the same time I'm willing to check them out. I've also poked around at a cemetery where a vampire was reportedly seen by a policeman, and where there's a so-called werewolf traipsing around.

You have the most interesting adventures. While I know ghosts/spirits/whatever do exist, I have a tendency to laugh at the thought of a chicken ghost... unless it was an entity with a hella sense of humor ;)

That's a new twist on an old theme- chicken ghosts. Wow.
