Lydia's Bridge — Greensboro

North Carolina's most famous roadside ghost has been hitching rides since at least 1923: a young woman in a white dress is picked up near the bridge on US-70 between Greensboro and High Point, asks to be taken home, and vanishes from the moving vehicle. Drivers who follow up and visit the address she gives are told by the family that Lydia died in a car accident at that bridge on the night of her high school prom. At least a dozen independent, documented accounts match this narrative with consistent details across a century.
