A newly unveiled historical marker celebrates the legend of a North Carolina bridge that is said to be haunted by the ghost of a young woman. Located in the community of Jamestown, spooky stories surrounding the site have reportedly circulated among residents for decades. According to area lore, back in the 1920s, a young woman named Lydia died tragically on the bridge in a car accident and, since that time, multiple motorists have allegedly encountered her spirit seemingly stuck at the spot in the form of a phantom hitchhiker. Detailing one particularly chilling witness account, paranormal author Amy Greer recalled that "she just looked, as they put it, just horrifying. and so they took off. They didn't even allow her to get into the vehicle and go with them."
