You’re driving down Strasburg Road in the Detroit area late on a warm night. It’s two in the 
morning and the traffic light in front of you turns red. As you come to a stop, you notice not a soul is around you on the streets. You glance to your left and see a small girl standing along the road. Worry sets in and a little bit of uneasiness as she stares at you.
The wait seems too long as you look back at the unblinking red eye of the traffic light. You’re suddenly startled by a “knock-knock” on your driver’s side window. The little girl is standing there, looking in at you with deep set, hollow eyes. She’s looking for the driver who killed her. Welcome to Knock-Knock Road.
The above retelling of the Knock-Knock Road story is the typical tale circulating these days. Teens and thrill seekers have been driving down Strasburg Road for years hoping to have their car knocked on by the young child. In fact, the story itself has been around since the 1940’s! The legend says the little girl was killed on that road and she now haunts the road looking for the driver who killed her. I think I may have even heard the legend has been so popular over the years, the cops give the road a little extra attention at night. No story has ever surfaced to validate the death of the little girl, so for all it’s worth, it’s nothing more than an urban legend. But you might just want to find out for yourself.
