Haunted places: the Primrose Road ghost truck, printed as a claim and dispelled at its sourcing

the index's one New Carlisle entry; the road test is South Bend's

The haunted-places index files exactly one entry under this town, and it is a road: The Shadowlands Haunted Places Index, in its Indiana list, carries — verbatim, as a claim — "New Carlisle - PrimRose - a road the length of a quarter mile long surrounded by woods, its known to have a ghost truck that changes color and is known to chase visitors out of the area." That is the whole of the entry: no teller, no date, no victim, no report — an unattributed aggregator line, the weakest carrier this build prints. Primrose Road itself is real: the county-line road west of town, running the St. Joseph–La Porte line through the township's wooded west edge. Against the claim, the record reached holds nothing: no press account of a phantom truck on Primrose Road, no official report, no second telling in any source read — and the haunt's own county build has already done the physical work: South Bend's haunted-places file carries Primrose Road as its road test, the claim stated and examined there. This section prints the entry because the index files it under New Carlisle, prints the verdict the sourcing earns — lore at aggregator strength only, uncorroborated by any record reached, and believed at the reader's own risk — and points to the sister build for the road test rather than duplicating it. The rest of this section's tests close the file: the town's cemeteries carry no ghost entry in the index (the index's silence for them is printed as silence); no New Carlisle house, school or theatre carries a haunt claim in any source read; and no ghost tour, book or podcast seated in this town manufactures the lore — the lore business, here, is one line on one list, and it prints at that size.
