Legendary Ghost Rider down Boundary Road has been seen by many people
The “De Deur Ghost” is well known in the Meyerton area in Gauteng. Since it’s been around for such a long time, the exact details have become lost from telling the story to so many people. Below is the story of the De Deur ghost which is the most common version.
Many decades ago there lived a farmer with his family in the small town of De Deur. The farmer kept a close watch on his beautiful daughter and discouraged any male suitor who would try to court her. He became suspicious of her nightly activities after a young man crossed her path. This local lad had a motorbike and frequently sped up and down Boundary Road in De Deur. He became aware of the fact that the two would meet up as soon as he retired to bed at night. His daughter then signaled the young man who parked further down Boundary road with his motorbike, by flicking her bedroom lights 3 times when the coast was clear. He would then race toward her house and pick her up while everyone indoors was asleep.
Legend has it that the farmer wanted to put an end to this relationship and one night he strung a piece of wire across the road from tree to tree in hopes of knocking the lad off his bike. He estimated that the wire would be around chest height when the young man would come driving down with his motorcycle. He was wrong. The wire caught him unawares and was strung too high; instantly decapitating him.
Exactly how people started to notice this “residual haunting” is unknown. However, if you park on Boundary Road in De Deur and flick your car’s headlights 3 times, you will be able to lure the headless motorbike rider into making an appearance. The most common version of those who visit the site is that out of nowhere, a bright light (that of a motorcycle) appears and comes racing past you at great speed.
Many types of ghost hunting equipment is used when a team such as Triangle Paranormal Investigators do research on cases like this. Grab your own ghost hunting kit and join in on the fun! The video below is actual footage of the De Deur ghost captured by Team TPi on a dark and moonless night.
