Raleigh
Name: House
Location: Ashe Ave.
Built in the 1920Ős for a wealthy tobacco executive, this
house was once the site of extremely lavish parties.
People would become severely inebriated and then drive home. One night in 1927, it is said that a car carrying three young women and their driver ran off the Ashe Bridge, crashing onto the train tracks below. The three women and their driver died instantly-the latter being decapitated. It is said that the three women can still be seen on the "Duke's" front porch, waiting for him to answer the door. The driver is said to still wander the tracks in search of his head. |
