What was supposed to be a routine freight job turned into a rolling nightmare when a trucking company realized the “holiday decor” they were hauling was, in fact, an entire haunted house setup – complete with motion sensors, fog machines, and one very angry animatronic clown.
Driver Sherry Doyle picked up the load in Oregon, destined for a pop-up attraction in Florida. “They said it was Halloween stuff,” Doyle said. “I didn’t ask questions – until the fog started rolling out of the trailer on I-70.”
According to her, things got spooky fast. “One of the skeletons started laughing at mile marker 212. I thought maybe I was tired, but then the clown triggered when I hit a pothole. I nearly veered into the median.”
The company, WitchHaul Logistics, claims the booking was made through a third-party broker who forgot to mention the cargo was fully wired and motion-activated. “Our reefer unit doesn’t usually double as a horror sound system,” said operations manager Leo Fang. “We’ve filed a complaint.”
Multiple rest stop attendants reportedly fled the scene when Doyle opened the trailer doors. “There was screaming, fog, and a cackling demon with glowing eyes,” said one. “I dropped my coffee and ran.”
The freight eventually made it to its destination, albeit with half the animatronics already traumatizing passing motorists.
FMCSA has issued a warning: “Drivers transporting interactive haunted attractions should ensure they’re properly secured and…emotionally prepared.”
As for Doyle, she’s considering taking the rest of October off. “Next time they say ‘light seasonal freight,’ I’m asking for photos.”
