Why is the Croatian A3 motorway haunted?

The road is fully paved. Locals blame underground water and ‘dark forces’ for the carnage, saying ‘drivers experience hallucinations and unexplained phenomena'. Legend has it that workers used cement from tombstones and material from monuments and graves to make the highway, and that many of the youths at the time also mocked the graves.
