Stony Hollow Road in Burlington, Iowa, is considered the most haunted road in the state due to the legend of Lucinda, a woman who died by suicide in the 1800s after waiting for her late husband, who was delayed by a stuck wagon. Her ghost is said to appear to those who call her name three times at the bluffs where she jumped, and if she drops a rose at their feet, it's believed they will die the next day. The Legend of Lucinda: In the 1800s, Lucinda was waiting for her husband on Stony Hollow Road, intending for them to run away together. Her husband was late, and in her despair and despair, Lucinda jumped from a nearby cliff to her death. Her husband eventually arrived, but only to find that his wagon had become stuck in the mud. Lucinda's ghost is said to roam the road and appears to people who stand at the bluffs and say her name three times. If Lucinda's ghost appears and lays a rose at your feet, a legend claims that you will meet your demise the following day.
