Thanks Kelly but you did not capitalize Blacks either and Ive never met a person the color of black or the color of white.Never!

I’ve been out to “****** Gap Road” more times than I can count. Yes, each time the car rolls up hill. I have got to say it’s not much of a hill. I never heard the story about black slaves pushing the car. Having said that, I do know they called has been called “****** Gap Road” for years. Now the kinder, gentler, version is just “Gap Road.” Come to think of it I don’t know why white people are afraid of the word “******.” Black/African American people use it all the time, for instance “****** please”…” My definition isn’t race related at all anyway. To me it means a trashy person (no color implied). Just for the record what do they want to called, Negro is outdated, Black refers to skin color (out), African-American also out. What is the phrase of the day… Heck Black people have thier own network “BET”. Try to start the “WET” (White Entertainment Network) WOW!!! that would cause a comotion. Anyway I’m rambling. I’ve also been to the Labadie Mansion… The “Catman” oh yeah… that’s a story that will get your girlfriend sitting closer for sure…

Just because I know some one will land flatfooted on my comments about race. When I speak of being Indian I say “I’m part American/Indian.” So yes, when I refer to myself and my own race, I’m using the same illustrative measures. I’m not a hater of people or religions. Just a clarifacaion of the facts. Jump on another bandwagon.ca

I live in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, and i have been out to gap road several times. the only reason peoples cars move is because the road is slightly slanted downhill. it doesnt look like a downhill slant because if you have your lights off, it makes an optical allusion. so pretty much, gap road is a bunch of bull.

who ever said its black people who got hung in the tulsa race riot is dumb. The tulsa race riot happened in tulsa. Its a liitle ways from tulsa.

Wow! Haven’t wrote on this website in awhile, but I have to say, some of you folks need to stop getting drunk before visiting.
Tomeka….lighten up a little, and get over yourself. No one is attacking you. At least there are still large number of Americans of the African descent, who still exist.
Whites nearly wiped out an entire race of Indians, when they took over this territory that you live on, so get a hold of yourself. By the way, you live on Indian land. Not Black land.
This website is for one thing.
To honor the fallen men, who were brutally murdered on this road, and to share our own personal, sometimes spiritual experiences on this road.
We don’t politically posture here, and stick our hands out like we are owed something.

I flex and pose out there all the time for all my Okla. friends.As part of OK mozart I will be flexing and posing tonight out in the NUDE!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been here and we waited foe 10 minutes for our car to start rolling.. I would have to say go to Labadie (spelling) Mansion if u have the chance it is outside of Bartelsville almost to Copan.. Way more stuff happens there..

As others have said, catman and the Labadie place NE of B’ville are the two other primary legends. Gap is S of town. These tales go back to at least the ’60’s.
One of the spookiest places in the county is where a densely wooded hill rising some 200′ from the rusty Caney river bridge could be home to about anything in your imagination. Do not change a tire here at night. Go north of this bridge to a tiny creekbed bridge where catman supposedly stalks some nights. A little farther N is the Labadie place, although I heard partiers burned it down except for a chimney. However, there is still a small family cemetary right next to the road surrounded by a dilapidated wrought iron fence. Keep going N to the highway 10 intersection and there is the entrance to the Mullendore ranch. An infamous unsolved murder occurred there in 1970 involving wealth, Chub Anderson and mafia ties.

I have never been to any of these haunted places but would love to go check them out if someone would be kind enough to give better directions. I live here in Bartlesville,Ok. & have seen Gap Road but do you go East or West from Hwy. 75 or is it better to go Hwy.123 ? How many miles down is it? Etc. Will someone please tell me as I would love to go. As for the other haunted places we will have to wait awhile due to no gas money.

Carol S, I made a mistake (two, actually…misspelled cemetery). Should read “NW” of town, not NE. You can get there by taking the west route toward Hulah lake also, but I think directions from hwy 75 might be simpler. Turn west off 75 at Copan, go across the lake dam and follow hwy 10 for roughly six miles past the dam until you see the big fenced in “Mullendore Cross Bell Ranch” insignia erected on the right. You want to turn left here on the gravel road and go south. Roughly one mile south and to the left (east) was the old Labadie place and the tiny cemetery, which is very difficult to see after dark unless you know where to look. About a mile further is the dry creekbed of catman noteriety (actually, the entire area). The last I saw it was covered with typical teenage spray painted satanic cliches and “(insert-2nd-rate-metal-band-here) rules” graffiti. Then, less than two more miles, you will come to a fork in the road. Go left to get back to the base of Copan dam, or go right and across the very spooky Caney river bridge and another right at the next fork to go around the wooded large hill and it will deliver you back to hwy 10 near Whipporwill Point and Bowring and you can take that route back to town. The hill and bridge are the eeriest place as far as I’m concerned. I travelled that road often between 1970-2000 and it’s fun at night…unless you have car trouble! According to Google Earth, the hill only rises 150′, not 200′ as I stated previously. Check the rearview often if you go at night. Could be a hungry bigfoot or a vengeful spirit gaining!
