Once a big attraction to Staten Island teenagers, Bedell Ave in Tottenville is now just a dark road with expensive homes.         At one point, 3 - 4 years ago this road was supposidly haunted. Upon driving down the road, you saw what appeared to be blurry but unmistakeably a person hanging from a lamppost. Once you got close enough to really see it for sure it just disappeared, not gradually faded.      
    Also along with this there was a story about a boy riding down the road, in what i really dont know, and flying off the cliff at the end. Since theres no cliff at the end, i cant really be sure. But he supposidly haunted this road. Maybe at one point there was a cliff, Now its just flat earth that leads to the water.
    The house that was said to bring the hanging person burnt down twice. Once was rebuilt but when arsonists got it a second time the owner gave up. Now, as said before, there are just expensive new homes, as well as ugly condos and two family homes at the beginning of the road.
      There was also a man who would chase you out of the street with a shot gun when this road was a popular spot. He may have been the houses inhabitant, or just someone else living on the road that was annoyed. But who could blame him, the summer this road became popular there were numerous cars driving up and down at all times of the night.
    Now as you approach the road, theres no ghostly vision of a person hanging, just the dark piece of woods leading to the new homes. The dark piece of woods is still frightening but definatly not worth the drive to the end of staten island for.
