The OES visited Lick Road on October 25,
2003. Located just outside of Cincinnati, Lick Road is home to mysterious
legends. A ghost named Amy is said to haunt the end of the long, desolate road.
There are many tales of how Amy died, but the most popular is that she was
murdered at the cul-de-sac or at a nearby bridge in the park by her boyfriend.
There are multiple legends surrounding Amy's death and her afterlife. At the
bridge where Amy is said to have been murdered is where some witnesses have
reported hearing footsteps following them in the woods, some have even spotted a
ghostly girl in all white walking the grounds. Another legend is that if one
flicks their headlights at the sign as you turn onto Lick Road, you can see
"Amy" written on the sign. On our visit, we did not witness this phenomenon. We
did, however, see "Amy" written on the sign at the end of the road, but it was
only graffiti. Some say that when parked at the cul-de-sac, you can hear a
woman's scream coming from the field. The most popular legend related to Amy's
ghost is that when parked at the cul-de-sac, the word "HELP" will form in the
condensation on the window. We also tested this claim on our visit to no avail.
It was a rainy and foggy night during our visit, but nothing unusual happened.
Several vehicles came to the road's end, most turning away when they spotted us
standing in the field. Even though nothing happened the night we were at Lick
Road, there may be something to the story. We have received numerous reports
from first-hand witnesses about unexplainable events taking place on Lick Road.
