Buckout Road, which runs through West Harrison, New York, is the subject of numerous haunted tales and urban legends, with many stories rooted in local folklore and true historical events. One of the most widely circulated urban legends centers on a family of cannibalistic albinos living in an old red house on the road. The myth states that if you drive to the house and honk your car horn three times, the albinos will emerge and attack. Older legends claim that three women accused of witchcraft were burned at the stake on the road. For a long time, the spots of their execution were supposedly marked by three "X"s on the pavement. Local tales warned that if you drove over the markings, your car would stall and something terrible would happen. The road is named after the Buckhout family, whose history is intertwined with violence and murder. In 1870, Isaac Van Wart Buckhout murdered his wife and her alleged lover with a shotgun in a jealous rage. He was later hanged for the crime, and his spirit is rumored to haunt his unmarked grave. Other reports claim to see the ghost of Mary Buckhout, who was said to have hanged herself from a tree after her children went missing. The spirit of a mysterious 19th-century hermit, known for his unique leather suit and predictable route, is said to lurk in the woods. Adjacent to the road, this cemetery was a burial ground for a freed slave community and is alleged to be haunted by several spirits. In 1977, the Buckhout family's graves were reportedly vandalized and their bodies stolen, an act believed by police to be connected to a cult. Some legends falsely associate the road with the real-life serial killer Albert Fish, though it was later debunked that he ever lived there.
