There is a legend in Delaware about a road nicknamed Devil’s Road, located off Route 202 by Concord Pike. As rumor has it, there is a house or church used to perform satanic rituals. At the beginning of the road are two arrow-shaped pickets known to many as the Gates of Hell. On this road the trees are bent away from the church and there are many trees spray-painted with the numbers 666 and many other disturbing words and images. There is a gate to the side of the road, and off that road behind the gate is the church.
One of the most noticeable attractions on Devil’s Road is a very large tree with a small hole hollowed out in the middle. Legend has it that this is called the Baby’s Cradle, because a small fetus was once found inside the hole.
I have been on this road many times, and the only strange thing I saw was on Mischief Night (the night before Halloween), when I and my friends saw shadowy orange lights lighting up the house. I am pretty sure that it was candlelight, but we did not want to make any assumptions.
