The Devil's Elbow

 

The Devil's Elbow

Between Binghamton and Owego there is a stretch of road known as The Devil's Elbow.  A woman in white is supposed to scare travelers there.  Is that true? This part of the road has had it's share of tragedies.  Maybe it's not a lady in white? Maybe someone else?

   

Location
