Doctor Dan the Bandage Man (Little Golden Book Classics)

Product Information

Others have said he is now a type of ghost that wanders around Highway 101 and Cannon Beach, with his spirit forever tied to the place where he died. I think it’s pretty safe to say the widespread knowledge of a mummy-like monster helped spread the legend of the bandage man. It’s infamous for being an amazingly gorgeous drive, but also extremely winding and curvy as it hugs the coastline, and among the many small seaside towns along the 101 sits Cannon Beach. There are reports of Bandage Man sightings from Lincoln City all the way to Seaside (about a 90 minute to two hour stretch of road).

The ambulance sped off but coming upon a bend on Highway 101 near Cannon Beach, the slippery road caused the ambulance to crash. I mean I've been on 101 several times in the past couple years since moving up here to Oregon, and I've never seen a ghost on that Highway. The entire crew of the British ship Lupata were lost, with the exception of one of the crew member’s dog.At the time of his death, the highway actually took a bend into the wooded area and was later re-designed to be a more straight path as it is today.

Sue Stauffacher lives with her husband and sons in a 150+-year-old farmhouse in the city of Grand Rapids, Michigan. These labels appropriately identify the generation of teens who inhabited Cleburne High School during my high school years. Using his newfound knowledge of first aid, he then happily cleans and bandages the small wounds (both real and imagined) of his toys, pets and family members. It has been told that he once smashed the windows at Bill’s Tavern in Cannon Beach and even reportedly ate someone’s dog.According to local legends, the bandaged man has transformed into a ghoul or zombie, driven by an insatiable hunger for human flesh.

The stretch of road nicknamed ‘Bandage Man Road’ is actually an abandoned part of Highway 101, long since replaced by a more forgiving and less dangerous parcel of pavement.Whatever you choose to believe about the Bandage Man, I would suggest keeping your wits about you when driving on Highway 101 at night. Looking through the small window, they were terrified to see a man covered in bloody bandages staring back at them. From the beginning, they had a soothing effect on children,” says Margaret Gurowitz, the company’s in-house historian. It was just an old section of Highway 101 that had been bypassed when a new section put in place, but it was still accessible and wasn’t very long-just a short loop off of the highway-the whole thing from end to end could be driven in maybe five minutes or so.
