strange smoke that is in the shape of people. But when u look at the
spots in person there is nothing, but in the pictures there is freaky
stuff. On the walls in the boiler room there are child size handprints
burned into the wall. - November 2005
update: no screams where noted. A well-defined shadow of a little kid
was seen through one of the glass doors in the school. The
investigators watched this figure move from side to side of the door
and then it walked toward them through the door and stood still for
around 30 seconds, all of the sudden it bent down and got into like a 3
point lineman stance and then jumped toward them, they turned the
lights on and there was nothing there. They placed a voice recorder in
the boiler room as well and got what sounded to be a heartbeat that
kept getting faster and louder and then made one loud beat and stopped.
Also there was a loud moaning throughout the whole schoolhouse from the
pipes but there is no heat going through the pipes so I have no clue
why that would be making noise. An update to make on the school is that
it was demolished last year and made into a park for the community.

you at all times. Some believe she is the young mistress of a military
officer, hanged to death because she fell in love with him and would

Jamestown - U.S.
Highway 70 underpass - AKA Lydia's Bridge
- Just outside of Greensboro, there has
said to have been the ghost of a beautiful young girl who has been
appearing near Greensboro since 1923. She stands next to the US Highway
70 Underpass in a white evening gown and waves frantically for someone
to stop and pick her up. Those hapless travelers who do are introduced
to a young woman who says her name is Lydia and she always ask them to
please take her to an address in High Point. She always tells them that
she has spent the evening at a dance in Raleigh and is anxious to get
home, having run into car trouble on the way. Just as the drivers
approach the house, the girl always vanishes from their car, never
opening the door and getting out.- March
2004 additional info: There are many versions to the story but the most
common one that I have heard is that Lydia was at a dance one night and
was trying to get home. A car apparently hit her and now she hitches
rides home from the bridge. When the person gets her to her house, she
disappears. She never says anything other than her name is Lydia; she
needs to get home, and her address. Another story posted on www.dawghouse.topcities.com/northcarolina.html.
Either way, she died in 1923. The road that linked High Point and
Greensboro was a different road than is there now. There are train
tracks that are the reason for the bridge. The bridge now is called the
graffiti bridge, for obvious reasons. To the left of this bridge, about
40 ft away and hidden in massive amounts of kudzu, is where the
original bridge is, and it's Lydia's bridge. There is another bridge
about 2 miles away from these that is also believed to be Lydia's
bridge. This one is an actual bridge that you drive over and it's over
a creek. Some kids have spray painted pentagrams on it which is kind of
freaky but at the same time, there is a sort of eerie presence here.
One report of a group of friends in the 80’s that would venture there
had two girls in this group and every time they would get close to the
bridge, the girls would pass out. www.hauntednc.com
says that Lydia is merely an urban legend. Which bridge is really her
bridge? How did she die? Why was she walking home? Or was she in the
car with her date? Where’s a newspaper article or an obituary that can
prove to us that this happened? If she died at the bridge close to the
graffiti bridge, one wonders who is haunting the one over the creek?
Why would kids choose that bridge to paint pentagrams on?
- February 2007 additional info: There is a
Guilford County/High Point Death Certificate for: Lydia Jane M. ( name
withheld Born 1904 in High Point Died December 31, 1923 from fatal
injuries from motoring accident [...]" Yet more evidence to support
that Lydia actually existed, and died as reported.

police officer was driving toward the fort at night, and noticed a man
walking down the side of the road. The office pulled over to give the
man a ride, and he climbed in. The officer continued driving until the
man motioned that he wanted to be dropped off at a spot near the fort.

night to Gen. Whiting.

One teacher was there late at night alone cutting paper in the

was there, again he heard it he checks the whole school and no one was
there. When he came back to the workroom all his trash was gone. When

and an old man is heard roaming the halls. Teachers were heard
teaching. And in a non-personal account (heard from teacher who was
there): She was designing the bulletin board when she heard ghostly
footsteps in the hall. Her daughter and her were alone in the building.
Her daughter chased them and when this teacher looked out in the hall,
her girl was walking with her arm in the air as if grasping an adults'.
But there was no one. She called her daughter back and the girl
explained, she was just walking with the nice old man. Possibly the
janitor. One teacher had some students there to help with a project one
night. When it was time to leave, he sent the students left and right
into the building to make sure no one was still inside. The students
met after completing the search and began to leave when they heard
running footsteps and voices coming down the stairs. Update: the haunted portion of the
school is no longer open to students or teachers.

couple back in the 1920's, and they planned on building a mansion out

Monroe - The
Blakney House - The old Blakney House is
located on Franklin St. Believed to be haunted by William Blakney, a
greedy miser who has hidden his fortune somewhere in the house. There
is also rumored talk about a girl, perhaps related to Blakney, who
watched her parents get run over from the upstairs window. The house
was first renovated and remodeled about 15 years ago to house a
privately owned "Boswell's Restaurant." Prior to the remodeling,
neighborhood kids were told not to go around the house, but that might
have been just adults against trespassing. Once the restaurant opened,
employees began to report strange things, such as dishes (entire
cabinets full) relocated, tables being moved, and other odd anomalies.
One account, involved a luncheon on the 2nd floor in one of the reserve
rooms. Only two people were at the restaurant (it didn't open until
lunch) and they set up elaborate place settings for the luncheon. As
they went downstairs to start preparing further, loud crashes and bangs
were heard from the upstairs. Using the slave staircase (it's that
old), which is the only way to get up to that part of the house when
it's locked, they found the entire banquet room had been ransacked.
When you try to go upstairs, you get a very unsettling feeling - the
feeling of "I don't want to go up there at all." No business,
restaurant or otherwise, has been successful at the Blakney house, or
at least no business ever stays there for very long. The business
located there today makes a point of closing before dark, as they are
afraid to be in the building for "when the fun begins."
