The following was found on the web site Haunted Missouri:

Upper Blackwell Road - Many people think this road is evil. There is a restaurant located on this road where Satanism is believed to be practiced. Disappearances have frequently occurred here. On a bridge named Black Tram, legend states that if you drive across it and flash your lights three times, a ghost car will chase you away. There is also a sign that vanishes into thin air as you drive past it and even a ghostly couple who tries to flag down cars. Whenever a car slows down however, the couple vanishes.
