• This Abandoned Stretch of Route 66 Is One of America's Creepiest Highway Detours—and Nature Is Slowly Reclaiming It (travelandleisure.com) — A little-known stretch of abandoned Route 66 called Ghost Road sits just off I‑40 between Erick and Sayre, offering an eerie drive through overgrown former highway lanes. Highlighted in a national list of haunted highway exits, the spot is accessible but partly on unstable or private land, so visitors are urged to stick to photos and avoid disturbing anything. It’s a nearby curiosity for Sayre residents looking for a spooky-season drive.
