Buckout Road

On Buckout Road, aka Head Road, rumors surround a house that has several Xs around it. Some say it is a place where witches were caught and put to death long ago. Others say a gang of cruel albinos lives here and attacks visitors. Legend has it that some school kids were taunting the albinos one night. They drove up to put an M-80 in their mailbox, but when one of them opened the box, a child’s head rolled out. It is because of this legend that some call it Head Road.

    one of the Leatherman's caves is near this area.

      that is interesting and might explain a lot. The leatherman was a local curiosity in the late 19th early 20th century in this region, Quebecois wanderer he walked a circuit in the lower Hudson river valley, begging for handouts, staying mainly in local shallow caves-most famously in Pound ridge park, and dressed all in panels of leather. him moving through the trees in twilight might easily be mistaken for some spectre.

    We went there to explore during the day and come back at night. This is the video:

    I grew up there. We rolled through many Friday evenings in our cars waiting for some goulish shenanigans. I was a part of that. The movie was not accurately depicted. There was a family living in the house close to the road where a girl would come out and stare at us. She looked pale probably cause she didn't get outside much. But the three Xs in the road were really there. We loved to take younger friends through there just to scare them but it wasn't anything but a winding country road.

    This is SO funny!! I was born in 1960 and grew up on Old Lake Street and Buckout Road and I can promise you that the stories are embellished. Some of the times, it was us scaring people. We'd hide behind the wall at night , by the cemetery, and jump out in Halloween costumes.And the 3 X's that were mentioned , were because it was a bad blind spot.. And ya can forget the killer albinos as well.

    I grew up in Purchase. Had two Aunts who married cousins who grew upon Buckout road. What I remember is a terrible car accident with teenagers in the 50s, the pig farm there, yellow cherries made into pudding, and and a story about a man who was furious with his wife, neighbors saw him run across the field to Buckout Rd., fire a shot gun, and completely blow her head off. Always felt uncomfortable but fascinated with the area.
