Note: I did not make this, and of course it's not true. I just want to know your opinions.
Little known fact, is that the Eisenhower Interstate system is built over major leylines. Rumor has it, that if specific conditions are met, weird phenomena will occur.
Phenomena of the First
The first sign of this phenomenon is that you will lose ALL radio reception, and devices such as MP3 players, Discmen, tape decks and other music players will cease functioning. Your heater will begin to only dispense cold air, regardless of setting. After the first mile of this, you will notice a fog growing at the edges of the road, and you will see no exits, regardless of whether they were supposed to be there.
If you continue on, you will begin to see the occasional pedestrian. Some of them will gesture that they would like to hitch a ride.
Under no circumstances should you stop for them, no one has ever stopped and survived. If you see lights approaching from behind, and it is a hearse, do NOT let it pass you. No matter what. After 13 miles, the phenomenon will end, and you will be safe.
Phenomena of the Second
Investigated by the witnesses after they read instructions they found in a book, left behind in a rest stop bathroom. Participants must mix a shot of whiskey, a drop of their own blood (One drop for each participant), a pinch of salt, and a small amount of used engine oil. Mix with water from a rest stop fountain in a glass bottle, and smash it on the interstate in the evening or morning.
If the instructions were followed correctly, the way will become densely foggy. An unmarked exit will appear, and if you pass it by, it will be closed to you for six years. If you take the exit, go left and under the interstate.
Half a mile down the road, there is an old gas station. Inside, it is said that a full glass the coffee sold there, will keep you awake all night, and the other food and beverages are purported to have various properties themselves.
Pay the proprietor only in metal coinage, no bills, no checks, no cards. There are also some arcade machines near the back of the store, as well as an old fortune telling wizard in a glass case. He knows how you will die. Accept no sexual favors that are offered to you while there, and do not anger anyone. Your life depends upon it.
Citation? I'm curious where this nonsense comes from.

Sounds somewhat like what happens when you drive on MD 32 past NSA headquarters in Ft. Meade MD.

Perhaps this is real then o.O lol jk
Well, there's 30 seconds of my life I'll never get back.
Wow, I haven't seen this in a while. I remember something like it making the rounds back when creepypasta started getting popular online. I think the version my friends showed me mentioned I-80 or I-290 specifically, because one of them wanted to try this for the lulz.

We have wizards and arcade machines coexisting.

You've seen this before? How? Where?

...And now, the weather.
...and a monkey just flew out of my butt.
As if.
Serves them right for ditching Route 66 three decades ago!

As addicting as that site is, I have to avoid it because most stories there make it impossible for me to fall asleep for weeks afterwards.

I checked Weather Underground. All weather will cease on November 9 at 11:59. The next day is just blank. Clearly they know something about the future that we don't.
(real world explanation: it's some glitch the site has had for about a week now)

You just typed in a negative ZIP code (http://xkcd.com/1245/). Either that, or given Saturday's forecast, a ZIP code in Oklahoma.
Someone had a bit more than a shot of whiskey mixed in.
Looks like someone was bored
So, once you leave the gas station, do you then see Big Joe driving Phantom 309?
Where do the Illuminati, chemtrails, and lizard people fit into this? :bigass:

Here's how. (http://web.archive.org/web/20050101092622/http://www.tackamarks.freeservers.com/)
Even the people of Alanland read this and said "what the f***?"
Everyone knows the real conspiracy is with the DOT inventory stickers on the back of road signs:

Perhaps the strangest phenomenon is people who think Eisenhower had anything to do with creating the Interstate system.

A bit late with this one, but I think I found the original (http://www.creepypasta.com/the-eisenhower-interstate-phenomena/). The date checks out at least.
