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.)
Due to one of
the positive
photos being
taken into a
reflective road
sign, I tested
out a theory
that it might
have been a
reflection of my
camera's flash.
I took a photo
of the sign once
again. No orbs.
Not one. Of
course this only
rules out a
reflection of
the flash on the
sign. It doesn't
rule out things
like dust or
bugs and things
of this nature.

orbs can be

What We
Didn't See:
Phantom
Chickens. Not a
one. What we
didn't hear: A
scolding from a
disembodied
voice.
What We Did
See:
The street sign.
Several orbs (in
photos), moving
lights (in
photos), lights
(in photos)
where there were
none.
What This All
Means:
Most of this listing of what we did or did not see goes against the lore of Chicken Alley. This doesn't necessarily mean it's not haunted, but rather that we didn't experience the things that were said to happen. Perhaps you will have better results than we did.
