story 6:Marsh Road

It certainly seems like San Jose has more than its fair share of haunted highways and creepy side roads! One such road is Marsh Road which has become something of a rite of passage for local high school students. The area is said to be haunted by Marcy Conrad who was killed by her boyfriend. The story has all of the usual hallmarks of an Urban Legend, but with one big difference – this murder really did take place and there are documented records to prove it! Marcy’s ghost is said to roam the section of Marsh Road where she was killed and her apparition has been spotted on a number of occasions by teens who go in search of a scare. Law enforcement have long since closed this section of road so if you do decide to go looking for Marcy you are going to have to do it on foot!

It’s become almost a rite of passage for Milpitas high school kids to seek out the ghost of murder victim Marcy Conrad, who was killed by her boyfriend on Marsh Road. Unlike the back stories of most urban legends, this murder was real and well-documented. The area of Marsh Road where the ghost is said to roam has long been closed off by law enforcement, so leave the Mystery Machine at home.
