I have lived on Arlo Road for the past year now, and I have never heard of this ’story’ until now. I wasn’t able to find anything about a missing woman in 1978. However Ghost Hunter is right, a girl did disappear from Arlo last year while she was visting one of the students living in the apartments on the hill. I find the hanging story pretty hard to believe. The only thing scary about Arlo Road, is how little parking there is.

I think my brain broke from trying to read a bunch of these comments. You people really need to stop trolling sights and being jackasses if you can’t spell or be at least halfway grammatically correct. And why are you here if you don’t believe in something, even a little? Trolls.
As for the story, it may now be an Urban Legend, but who’s to say there’s no truth in it? It had to come from somewhere! The way I’ve always heard it was that they ran out of gas and the boy told the girl to lock the doors and hide in the floorboard of the car with a jacket over her while he went back to find a gas station, and they made some sort of signal knock so she’d know it was him and open the doors..hours go by and nothing. Finally she hears a noise, a scraping sort of noise which is followed by dull thudding sounds hitting the roof of the car. She is afraid, but doesn’t move, and eventually the noises stop and she falls asleep. In the morning she’s awakened by a knocking on the window..a sherriff. He asks her to step out of the car and over to his car, and advises her not to look back, but she does anyway. The sight awaiting her is a gruesome one..Her boyfriend, throat slit, is hanging upside down from a tree above the car. The noises she heard were his fingernails scraping the roof when the tree branch moved in the wind, and the thudding noise was the blood from his slit throat draining from his lifeless body.

Hey I live in Staten Island and know that area well. Those graveyards(there are actually 3) on the side of that hill. Some f***** up stuff has gone on in there over teh years paranormal and otherwise. The story of the boyfriend and girlfriend is an urban legend made to make the story scarier , but I believe the 1978 thing may have happened. Again the girl disappearing recently is true. Ive been in teh graveyard around dusk and it gets freaky. I have family members buried tere and I accompany my grandmother to put flowers on their graves a few times a year. There is definitely smething to it. I never heard of the man in white but to be honest i never looked into it I will though interesting.

I think that the story could be true, and maybe the killer didn’t kill the girl cause it wanted her to live miserably for the rest of her life, however long that was. I think the story could use more description, like how was the guy hangin from the tree? his fingers, toes, his god dam d***?

If that is real then she should be able to see him from the windsheld.Me and my friend were fighting about it and we figherd out that it has to be fake or something because she realy should be able to see him.THIS STORY MUST BE FAKE.IT DOSE NOT MAKE SENCE.

Machle says:

November 21, 2006, 3:29 pm

Because if the branch was over the hode of the car she would be able to see him.But who or what killed him.

Michelle says:

She would be able to see her boyfriend if he was scratching the hood of the car beacause she would probably just scream or something instead of getting out to see what is happenning if she saw her boyfriend! It couldn’t have been her boyfriend scratching on the car when he was hanging from a branch. THIS STORY IS FAKE! My friend and I both disagree with coment number three and agree with number four. I reapeat THIS STORY IS FAKE!

Well, she wouldn’t specifically be able to see him if it were dark and the windows were fogged up. LOL anyways, I have heard this story many times as a child. It was told in different ways and different details, but it’s definitely not real.

Well if this is fake,which I really am not sure, that’de be freaky!! The girl walked out, and saw her boyfriend hanging with a cut throat! You know I would’ve leapt back in the car and drive, drive away! Then get the cops and never go back!

My sister supposly died there. She went there and never came back. I’ve been trying to find the truth to that place…But its still freaky. Every time I’ve gone, I see a shadowy figure…too broad to be my sisrer. But whoever it is…I will stop them. And find my sister, or her body.For proper burial. I will avenge her.

OK. Well I beleive it. But in a diffrent way. A young boy and a young girl drive out into the woods to make out. Boy gets out and goes into the woods to use the bathroom. Boy does not come back and girl drifts off to sleep. Girl wakes up to a scrapping noise. She gets out and sees boy hanging from a tree by his feet. His throat slit and his finger nails scrapping the roof of the car. Its believable. There are so many stories like that. The hook. Its the SAME story but the killer had a hook. O well I have heard so many scary stories. It was a good story!!
