Lydia's Bridge in Jamestown, NC is haunted by the spirit of a young woman in a white dress who died in a 1920s car crash. The legend describes the ghost appearing to hitchhikers, asking for a ride, and then vanishing from the car, with her story potentially linked to an actual fatal accident in the area. Locals continue to report encounters with the ghost, especially on stormy nights. The most common version of the story tells of a young woman, Lydia, traveling home with her boyfriend from a dance in the 1920s. Their car lost control and crashed into a bridge, killing Lydia. Her spirit refused to find rest and began appearing to drivers, dressed in a white dress. She would ask for a ride, but then vanish from the vehicle shortly after. Local ghost hunters eventually linked the legend to a real event, discovering a newspaper article about a bad accident in Jamestown on a rainy summer night and identifying the victim as Annie Lydia Jackson. The ghost is often described as a young woman, sometimes soaking wet, and always wearing a white dress. She is seen near the old bridge, which is now a pedestrian tunnel under a newer bridge and railroad tracks. Encounters are frequently reported on stormy or dark nights.
