La Porte, Indiana - Orr Lake Road

[aesposito]

Location: Orr Lake Road / Hangman's Road / Hookman's Road

City/Town/County: La Porte, IN, La Porte County

Legend: Supposedly, a young couple drove down the road and their car died. The guy got and began to check under the hood. After 10 minutes or so with no word from him, The girl began to hear a slight scraping noise coming from the roof of their car. When she got out to look what it was, her boyfriend was hanging from the tree with his throat cut and he shoes were scraping the roof. The a Hookman killed the woman, and The hookman has never been found and roams the woods.

History: La Porte has hosted this urban legend for years. Though, this site has been the site of several fatal accidents, marked by white crosses along the north side. Also, this road, due to its seclusion and proximity to a swamp like pond has had several murder victims bodies dropped off along the road.

Directions: This is a secluded country road, so it is hard to gauge giving directions depending on where you are coming from...so instead here it is on Google Earth

Misc: I chalk this up to an urban legend of the Hookman, but that doesn't mean this road won't spook you at night. The sudden appearance of the white cross grave markers and other strange occurrences keep this location on the tongues of most residents. I personally have never had an experience on this road other than the occasional odd old guy eating a sandwich on a stump in the middle of the woods watching people go by for some reason. I travel this road quite a lot because its a short cut out of town. Also, the old creepy large house on the south end of the road was an ex-girlfriend's aunts house and never had any problems living there.

I have heard the story. But if it was a hookman who dragged his hook across the car with a scraping noise and killed the woman who reported the noise?

This story is bull. I've lived here in LaPorte for almost 4 decades and there are several different urban legends associated with this road. Too many in fact. In the 70's I dated a girl whose parents lived on this road and I walked it and rode my bicycle alone at night to get back to town many, many times. Nothing ever occurred besides running into an occasional deer or raccoon. The road is full of twists and turns (Hooks) and winds about with the turns coming on top of each quite quickly and there are a lot of them. It is amazingly curvy and one of the curviest roads I've ever been on. It's almost ridiculous. Lot's of 'hooks' in the road. It is true that there have been many accidents on this road because of these turns and some of them have been fatal. As far as the swamp pond which spans alongside the road, I could not find any information, nor do I remember hearing about any murder victims being found on Orr Lake Road. Scary looking though and due to the strange road curves and its remote location just outside of town, its a great place for urban legend to flourish and flourish it has. Everyone in LaPorte County, Indiana knows or has heard about hookman road.

Here is another: Legend has it that at one time a doctor, his wife and beautiful young teen daughter lived on this road. This was back sometime in the 1800s. It was still a time of sicknesses. Well, one day the doctor’s wife got very sick within 24 hours and she died. Then, his lovely daughter died a day after his wife. The poor doctor was beside himself, not just with the loss of his wife, but his lovely daughter too. Well, the doctor was just not into healing, but also into a new way to persevere human bodies. Instead of burying his dead, he put his wife and daughter in big pickle barrels, and it is said that on a full moon you can see him and his man servant, who has a hook on his right hand, going into the woods with a lantern, and if you look closely, you will see the bodies of the wife and the daughter being dunked up and down up and down. This keeps the bodies from going bad and keeps them forever young.

I just know growing up there in high school we would go out there set up beer bottles like bowling pins than drive in to them with our cars. Alot of fun times out there. Hookmans curve was the party place.
