story 4:Hicks Road

Anyone who has lived in San Jose for any length of time knows the legend of Hicks Road. It’s an old and dark myth, but it is certainly a good one! There are all manner of creepy tales associated with Hicks Road ranging from urban legends to paranormal occurrences. The main story that you will hear about Hicks Road is about the albinos! Apparently there is a small group or family of Albinos who live in small huts just off Hicks Road and they are not at all happy to get visitors! There have been lots of reports of people being chased by these strange, pale  figures who many feel are not albinos at all, but some kind of spirits. Others have claimed to be chased by men in high speed trucks who attempt to run them off of the road. So much so, that most locals will prefer to find an alternative route even if it takes them a little bit out of their way. The Albino clan is not the only thing that frightens them. Hicks Road is also said to be haunted by a witch and there are rumors of satanic rituals in the area leading to claims that there are demonic entities lingering as well.

This dark myth is a golden oldie. The eerie Hicks Road in San Jose passes through a wild area of the county, thus making it a prime backdrop for a pervasive urban legend. Legend has it that albinos, or sometimes witches or recluses, angrily chase trespassers who wander (or deliberately joyride) through their territory.
