The Never Ending Road



Estimated reading time — < 1 minute

In Corona, California there once was a road known by most locals as the Never Ending Road. Specifically, the road’s true name was Lester Road. Now, over twenty years later, the landscape of Corona has changed, and the Never Ending Road is no more. However, years ago, Lester Road was an unlit road that people claimed became a never ending road when driven at night. The people who made such a drive were never seen from again.

The legend became so well-known that people refused to even drive Lester Road during the day. One night, like many teens my age, I drove up Lester Road, but only a short distance, and in my headlights it did look like it went on forever. Frightened, I quickly turned around, because if I continued up the road, I thought I might never return again.

Perpetuation of the legend convinced local law enforcement to investigate. Lester Road took a sharp left turn at its end, and there were no guard rails. Beyond the curve lay a canyon, and on the other side of the canyon was another road that lined up so well with Lester Road that when viewed from the correct angle, especially at night, the canyon vanished from sight, and the road seemed to continue on up and over the hill on the other side of the canyon. Upon investigation of the canyon, dozens of cars were found, fallen to their doom, with the decomposing bodies of the victims still strapped to their seats.

  1. This is definitely one of my favorites. It’s to-the-point, has a good ending, and has a full explanation. The ending makes a lot of sense, too.

  2. Total. Mindfuck. This kind of thing can actually happen. Illusions, deceptions, mirages. Excellent pasta.

  3. An Unwitting Accomplice

    I agree with what people are saying. Even though it wasn’t necessarily creepy, I still loved it. It was explained logically and wasn’t paranormal. When put aside the other stories like this that end with ‘OMG IT’S SUPER SPOOPY AND SCARY CAUSE PEOPLE DISAPPEAR’ it is a breath of fresh air.

  4. Bravo… Liked the story… But the facts don’t match up. You see, I live in Corona, CA, I have all my life. There are lots if canyons around here, the town is built on a freaking mountain. But there is no Never-Ending road. There is no Lester Road. There is, however, a Lester Ave, and because of the rolling hills, it appears to go on forever. But sadly there is no sharp turn. And there is no canyon. However there is a sudden stop to the road with a gate in front if it. I wish this story was true, because then maybe this town would be a little less boring.

  5. This is a real story, as far as I know. I live not too far from Corona, 20 minutes maybe? and members of my family have been down that road in daylight, and at night. I haven’t been there(at least I don’t think so) so I haven’t looked over that edge and seen cars, but I have heard that some bodies are pulled up with heavy machinery and such, leaving the cars behind like a kind of memorial. My family has said that the drivers do REALLY need to be careful, so.
    It’sstill interesting to read a pasta that takes place so close to home. :]

  6. Wait, some people, according to the story, drive it during the day. How is it that nobody goes, “Did anybody check to make sure that the missing people didn’t go off the cliff?”

  7. hi, dont turn around

    O.O
    HE BROKE THE PASTA LAW
    PASTA’S CAN NOT MAKE SENCE
    YOUR SUPPOSED TO LET THESE COMMENTING IDIOTS FIGURE IT OUT WITH THEIR WITTY REMARKS
    *tosses a pedobear at the writer*

  8. I see that several of you have pointed out the amount of time it took for the police to intervene. Hmm… very good story, lacks any real scariness, but extremely good nonetheless.

  9. @Tram
    …from the people who knew them and noticed they disappeared? Guy goes “Hey, thats a bunch of bull, I’ll drive that road tonight” then doesn’t show up to work again ever, its kinda noticeable.

  10. Good story, but more tragedy than creepy. I feel sorry for those drivers who died because thegovernmentfailedtofixtheroadproperly :[

  11. haha i bet most of them were drunk XD also i love that the person turns back and does not die good story i did hear something like this on t.v

  12. I love it, especially the dicomposing bodies part. The guy who created that road was genius lol and obviously mentaly ill.

  13. asd8eyidasreasdfjiare.

    doesn’t seem like a creepypasta to me.
    more like..
    one of those websites, where you submit stories about your most embarrassing moments,
    and stupid things that people have done.
    yeah.
    this fits there. not here.

  14. John is the demons

    The best thing about creepy pasta is when it has an element of realism to it. Something that means it could actually happen. Have any of you ever visited snopes.com? It’s like some of the urban legends on that site. Hell, sometimes the explanations and folklore behind the legends make them all the more frightening.

  15. i am a heron. i haev a long neck and i pick fish out of the water w/ my beak. if you dont repost this comment on 10 other pages i will fly into your kitchen tonight and make a mess of your pots and pans

  16. This, along with “This is probobly not a good idea” are really nice. Kinda different from the shittypasta thats been posted so much lately.

  17. A logical idea but I kind of thought after the first person disappeared, wouldn’t the investigation immediately turn up the first crashed car in the canyon?

    And even if it didn’t, surely someone would’ve noticed sooner?

  18. What the fuck kind of road workers decided “hey, let’s make a road that takes a sharp left next to a canyon and not install any railings or warnings”?

  19. Pew Pew Laser Gun

    Hmm. While I liked this one, I thought the logical ending made it less creepy (even though I don’t find pastas about random, obscure locations creepy anyway).

  20. Wow…that road is definitely haunted. A dangerous road requires a cautious driver, I don’t believe all those who died there were idiots.

  21. Sounds like that episode of C.S.I. where everyone was turning up with green blood. I love stories where it begins as a sci-fi thriller and ends with a logical explanation with nothing to do with magic, science, ore voo-doo. It’s satisfying.

  22. I like this one. Not necessarily a pasta, and it’s more logical for the people who like that. I do like that the ending was explained, the creativity made it much better than ‘OMG PEOPLE DISAPPEARED!!1!’
