Lydia's Bridge

|
Although Lydia died in 1923 many people
have reported seeing her, hitchhiking in
Jamestown, North Carolina!
When a driver is driving around 70 east of
Jamestown and near High Point chances are
they will see a beautiful, lost young woman in white. When the driver, usually a man, or someone all alone, pulls up to ask if she would like a ride, she simply asks to be taken to High Point her home. Some say she begins telling a story of the dance she just came from, and how there was an argument of her beauty. She also tells him the directions of how to get to her home. The driver, being a gentleman, gets out of the car to open the door for the woman. When he opens to door, to his surprise, she is no longer there!
In some stories it tells of how she had a scarf
around her neck. She went into the house,
and when the man got back in the car he found the scarf laying in the seat where the girl had once been. He decided to take the scarf to the young girl. He knocked on the door and it was opened by a man and his wife. He handed them the scarf explaning that there daughter had left it in the car. The mother screamed with fright and nearly fainted. Confused the man asked the womans husband what was wrong. What he heard was shocking! The father explained that his daughter had been dead for some time and that she always wore that scarf so when she died she was buried with it! |
