A mysterious and ghostly figure has been captured on a dashcam on one of America’s most dangerous roads.
A hazy figure was captured by a trucker who was driving alone in Arizona, US.
The brief six-second clip was captured on a Nexar dashcam that was recording drives for security reasons.

The alleged sighting has sparked fiery debate as to whether it’s proof of the paranormal.
William Church had arrived home from driving on the notorious Route 87 before he checked his dashcam footage.
It was then that the blood in his veins ran cold as he spotted the outline of a translucent figure standing by the side of the road.
The figure was seen as he passed the highway’s 200-mile marker between Phoenix and Payson, Arizona.
Arizona State Route 87 is a north-to-south highway that was constructed in 1927.
It measures approximately 272.66 miles.
The north end travels to State Route 264 near Second Mesa, a census-designated place in Arizona.
The south end travels to Interstate 10 near Picacho, an unincorporated community and census-designated place in Arizona.
There have been many fatalities on the 96-year-old highway, which has led some to believe the road could be haunted.
Valley Chevy Dealers in Phoenix named State Route 87 as one of Arizona’s ‘most dangerous roads’.
That’s because of its route that has ‘a lot of looping turns.’
A fatal car crash happened as recently as February on Arizona State 87 near milepost 201, according to FOX 10 Phoenix.
While behind the wheel during his 287-mile night route, he claims to not have noticed anything out of the ordinary.
There were no other cars on the road – something we might see more often now that supercars are set to soar through the skies.
This isn’t the first time something terrifying was captured on a dashcam.
Like the terrifying moment a truck’s brakes failed, sending it hurtling down a busy mountain road.
Mostly dashcams capture dangerous driving, like this ‘slingshot’ method used to bypass a busy roundabout.
After sharing the footage of the phantom online, the internet was split: is it camera glare or something a little less easily explained that we can see?
“The figure was just standing in the roadway as I passed by looks like you can see the lines through the legs making the figure,” Church told Fox News.

After gaining her BA Hons in French and English at the University of Nottingham, Amelia embarked on a vocational diploma from the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ). This led to numerous opportunities, from interning at Vogue to being on the small team that launched Women’s Health magazine in the UK, which was named the PPA Consumer magazine of the year for three years running. As Health, Beauty and Fitness editor, Amelia personally received a Johnson & Johnson Award and was shortlisted for both PPA and BSME titles. Since then, Amelia has created content for numerous titles and brands, including the Telegraph, 111 Skin, Waitrose, Red magazine, Stylist, and Elle, as well as being Head of Content at Vitality and Editor in Chief at INLondon magazine. “My superpower is translating technical jargon about the mechanical workings of a supercar into a relatable story you’ll want to share with your friends after you’ve read it.” After joining the SB Media family as a senior journalist in September of 2023, Amelia’s role has evolved to see her heading up the SEO output of the editorial team. From researching the most ‘Google-able’ key terms to producing evergreen content - it’s been a time of hard work, growth, and success for the editorial team and the Supercar Blondie website. “I like to think of myself as a ‘method journalist’. In other words: I live and breathe whatever I am writing about. When writing about fitness, I trained as a personal trainer, and as a beauty editor, I completed an ‘expert’ in scent diploma with the Fragrance Foundation. “During my tenure at Supercar Blondie, however, I did something I never thought possible: I passed my driving test at the age of 36. One day I’d love to train as a mechanic to better understand what happens under the hood, too. “My sweet spot is providing readers with a ‘takeaway’ (read: something new they didn’t know before) after reading every one of my stories. While I don’t claim to be an expert in the automotive world, I know the experts and bodies in the field to rely on to provide our readers with an informative and thought-provoking story every time they visit the site.”
