REHOBOTH – The road that has been dubbed the scariest in Massachusetts is being brought to life on the screen in a short film inspired by reported sightings of a haunted hitchhiker.
Pasta Bedtime Productions created the horror short film “44,” inspired by reported sightings of a redheaded ghost on Route 44 in Rehoboth.
Scariest road in Massachusetts
In the past, Route 44 has been named the “scariest road” in Massachusetts because of the haunted happenings. Urban legend has it that drivers go to pick up a man who sits in the backseat, then vanishes in the middle of the ride.
“In this area in Rehoboth everyone knows about the redheaded ghost,” said Amelie Iselin, founder, producer, and actress for the film.
Max Corso, founder of Pasta Bedtime Productions , said people report seeing a redhaired, older, weird looking gentleman walking on the road.
“Everyone sees him differently and he’s there and he’s gone,” Corso said.
