Abstract:
A local adaptation of the vanishing hitchhiker ghost story from Guilford County, N.C. The ghost is named Lydia, and she haunts the road underneath Jamestown Bridge, trying to hitch a ride with passing motorists. Lydia’s origin story has several variations, all having to do with a car accident near the bridge: either she was on the way to a high school dance and her car wrecked, or she committed suicide at the bridge where her decreased boyfriend had been in an accident and died. The bridge underpass is now covered in various graffiti, some of which pertain to Lydia.
