Carolina Haunts: Legends & Lore from the Old North State
Episode 3: Lydia’s Bridge (Jamestown, North Carolina)
Along a lonely stretch of Highway 70 near Jamestown, North Carolina, an old stone bridge hides one of the state’s most enduring ghost stories. They say if you drive past late at night — especially when the rain is falling — you might see her.
A young woman in a white dress, standing by the roadside, waiting for a ride that never comes. Locals call her Lydia, the hitchhiking ghost of Jamestown.
Her story begins in the 1920s, when a tragic car accident near the bridge took her life. Ever since, countless drivers have claimed to pick her up — only for her to vanish before reaching home.
Join Dawn Mac for the chilling legend of Lydia’s Bridge, a timeless Carolina ghost story about love, loss, and the lingering spirits that still haunt the highways of the Old North State.
