Petrolia, ON

(Canada)

I was new to the Southwestern area. I lived in Sarnia and had to make my way to a town nearby, called Petrolia. There was a long stretch of lonely road. I slammed on my brakes as a little girl crossed the highway. I saw her run across the road, but did not see where she went.

When I got to Petrolia, the tire man asked me how were his directions. I told him fine and then told him about the little girl.

He said a little girl had died there, hit by a car, and that many people had seen her cross the road.

This is a true ghost story as I knew nothing about Petrolia or their history till the tire man told me.
