Ghost Of The Girl At The Underpass
True Ghost Story Of The Girl At The Underpass
Over the years at an underpass near Greensboro North Carolina young men have been picking up a young girl dressed like she is going to a party. She flags down cars with one young man in them and asks them to take her home.
She tells anyone who picks her up that she and her date got in a fuss and she made him let her out back at the under pass. They all drive her home to a house in High Point where she vanishes before she can get out of the car.
Some of the young men over the years have gone back to the house in daylight only to learn that the girl was killed in that underpass when the car she and her boyfriend were in ran head on into another car in the underpass. She was killed on a foggy night in April 1959 and has been appearing to people ever since. She looks perfectly normal people say until they stop at the house in High Point to let her out and she vanishes.
The Maco Light
True Ghost Story Of The Maco Light
On a misty night in 1867 a freight train was slowly making its way down the track near Maco 15 miles from Wilmington North Carolina. All at once the flagman Joe who was riding in the Caboose saw a fast moving passenger train coming down the track towards the back of the freight train. Joe swung the lantern and tried to get the passenger train to stop but it struck the freight train and knocked it off the track. Joe was killed and in fact his head was actually cut off in the accident. The passenger train hit the freight train so hard it knocked Joe out of the Caboose and into the swamp. And even though there was a extensive search done for Joe's head it was never found and he was buried with out it.
And over the years ever since the night of the horrible train wreck in 1867 Joe's headless ghost has been seen with his lantern flashing it back and forth like he is trying to signal someone. Over the years people have wondered if Joe is looking for his head or is he trying to signal to a passing train.
In 1889 President Grover Cleveland on a political trip through the area saw the light as have hundreds of other people over the years. It really makes you wonder how so many people down thru the years can tell almost the same exact story if they are not really seeing anything.

The Ghost of the Girl At the Underpass is SUCH an old story. I have a plethera of ghost books and that is in one of the very first ones that I received that was kid-friendly. The places for the ghost changes with every story, but the story is ALWAYS the same. (I forgot the title of the book I was referring to, but it had Hitchhiker in the title.)
Hey this is Summer, i read the stories & their bone chilling. Im 12 years old. Im a homeschool student. I research spirit & ghost all the time, I know this may seem abit odd but i can see them. I have tons of books about how to communitcate with spirits & how to be a ghost hunter, & i even have a book about true ghost stories that happend in North Carolina. ((:
i was in my room one day and i was sat on my bed.my tv, sterio, computer all that was all off and i was sat in complite silense.all of a sudden my sterio came on all by its self, so i went over to turn it of and didn't think much of it untill i got there. i stood looking puzzled at the sterio that was unpluged and turned off but still playing music. it was the kind of old fashion music the type no one in my family listen to so we had no cd's of it.
So i tapped it a little and it went off.i thought after a bit it would stop but it didn't.
the tv went off. and went back on. it was 3 in afternoon. i saw a tombstone of jack bera.
i was 9 years old at the time and my father,brother,sister and i went to my grandparents house and played hide and seek with my cousin haley.the next thing you know is we hear noises and we all stopped playing and heard footsteps that's what they where all right except for they weren't on the floor they was on the wall crawling it was two women with black hair and they had blood all over them and turned around to look at us and i fainted while my cousin,brother and sister was screaming and going crazy i woke up and i was like "what the hell"! i am never coming in this damn house again!
I've always enjoy ghost stories and just wanted to say that the The Maco Light area is only 30 miles from where I live here in North Carolina. There is also an ghost light on the old tram road thats only 10 miles from me, I've seen it with my own eyes. Have a nice ghost night all!
Well i believe in ghosts n i believe most stories people say on these sites im as well 13, i sum times see things that i cant explain, people might think this is bullcrap but think wat u wanna i no wat i think i saw n thats all i needa no. Oh n summer dnt u get scared bout all this, i mean like i dnt but sum times i feel like sum 1 is watching me. but itz only family looking out 4 me
once i was at home alone...i was watchin tv like any other day and then the tv cut off i got up to get the remote thinkin nothin of the tv goin off then the radio came on...a few years ago mi grandma died in mi house...the music playin was her cd...then i ran out of the house sooo freaked out..i had to call mi aunt to come pick me up cuz i was so scared! i no the spirit wouldnt hurt me but i was still really scared!!(btw thanks for all the great stories!!)
OMG me and my friends call eachother the ghost whisperers because we can see ghosts and communitcate with them, it was my friends 11th birthday and she got a camra, we were jumping on the trampoline and we went to get the camra(it was never out of our site)there was 19 pics! all shadows exept for one, it was of me!!!!! I was so freaked out but I calmed down then wen we looked at them again they were all mystereously deleted! we saw a gilr about 16 (ghost i mean) red face and sharp teeth, we think she did it, she keeps on pushing us off the trampoline, she made my friends ankle hurt and when i tried holding her pain went away and came on to me! it was freaky, im supposed to be doing sum research right now, they are at the house searching for clues
i used to never belive in ghost but i do believe in spirts, i lived in this very old apartment building it was built in the early 30's there was a man that walked from the back of my apartment and would stop at the door going into the living room he would only do it twice a day that was in the morning and right before we would go to bed. He kind of resembled Abraham Lincoln he never bothered us but it was kind of scary cause it felt like he would just stand there and look at us.
I believed in the supernatural all my life and i always want to hear a ghost story no matter what time of day. One tome and my grandma's house my mom told me,my brother and my sister a true story. It was about a house that was in front of my great-grandma's house. IT BURNED DOWN ON HALLOWEEN NIGHT! Everyone in the house died,it was a family of 4... 2 kids and their parents. the parents died from the smoke and the kids burned to death and before they tore the house down every holloween you could see the kids banging on the windows screaming for help and you could see burn marks where their hair had been. and now in that area of North Carolina you can't see anything anymore. And THANX FOR THE GREAT SCARY STORIES THAT ARE POSTED! (:
hey nice stories. damn scary...
I've heard a ton of stories like the one about the girl at the underpass. I used to live in Florida, and there was one about a girl who died in like 1990 in a car accident who would ask you to take her home that I heard alot. Apparently, she lived in Palm Beach? So I wonder if that story is more urban legend than truth.
I live in Stokes County NC. When I first moved here I had a recurring dream of of a man shooting and killing his family it was like watching a horror movie. From their clothes I could tell it was in the past. Two years later I learned the story of White Christmas Bloody Christmas. I don't know why I dreamed this.
i dont believe in ghost spirts or anything like that if i cant see it with my own 2 eyes i dont believe it
Fortunately I don't have any ghost stories myself, but I really enjoyed this excellent hub! Thank you Crazyhorsesghost!

I'm Sammi Bullock...i'm 16 years old...and thiss is my story. When I was little...my mother and I were extremely close to my Grandma. When I was 9...I was at school and got a call to go to the office to go home. I was informed when I got home that my Grandma had shoot and killed herself...I was too young to understand it. My Grandpa moved in with us for a while shortly after. During the time he was with us...we all smelled a familiar smell. Nobody could explain it...but then we recognized it...it was my Grandma's smell. The smell of toothpaste...hair spray...hair perm...and my grandpa's after shave. We continued to smell this scent untill my Grandpa moved out. I thought everything would be ok then...but not long after I had turned 11...I was laying on my bed...wrapped in the covers with the door open like I normally did. I couldn't get to sleep...so I just staired down the hall way. There was only one light on in the house and it was in the living room. Out of nowhere a blue glowing figure walking from the dining room and into the kitchen. This figure looked as though someone was standing under a black light. I thought I was just imagining things. But to my surprise...the figure came from the kitchen and started walking down the hall way to my room...I put the covers around my head and left a little hole where I could see a little. The figure sat beside me...and the bed moved as though someone had actually sat down. I was in shock and couldn't say a word...or move for that matter. The glowing figure put it's hand on mine and began to rub it...like my Grandma used to do. The hands were just like my Grandma's...they were boney...the fingernails had been bitten off...and she had white medical tape..wrapped around her finger tips. But I still wasn't sure...until the figure spoke and the voice was the same as my Grandma's. "It's ok...i'm here...don't be scared." I wanted to run...but at the same time...I wanted to cry...because I knew it was her...my Grandma had came back to me. I noticed the hand was warm just like a living person. She continued to rub my hand until I fell asleep. The next morning when I awoke...she was gone...and there was no sign that anyone had sat beside me...but I still had the covers around my face. Every since that day...my family still smells her scent...and occassionally me and my brother have seen shadow figures through out the house...but nothing of the same...as I had saw that night.

I am a working student here in Tagum (ST. MARY'S COLLEGE,INC)FROM 2006-2011 ASSIGNED AT THE School President's Office.
Every working scholars has its individual responsibility such as we called the morning and evening Bayanihan.
I am alone in the office, sweeping,wiping even I am tired that time.
my Boss always remind me to open the air condition when she coming...
the main glass door was open and I'd expect my Boss was there so I turn on the air conditioner.there's a transparent glass between the secretary's office and my Boss office.I am inside of my Boss office that time
My Boss is an RVM Sister wearing always white or gray habit....
after a few seconds I'd open the door from the office of the President then looking at the Secretary's office where I saw Sister or my BOss is coming. She is wearing a white Habit.
Unfortunately,there's no one people there except me around 10:30 PM.

I live right by these places here in NC! I am not surprised at all! I met a couple selling their house, and we decided a rent to own as they wanted to move (their kids really wanted to get to their new Florida home with a built in pool) LOL so, in the past 7 years, I just finally went through the closing and it's mine! BUT before that, a neighbor came over a few times to get to know me, and one night her and two friends came over! They were dying to see upstairs! Well, I would have certainly let them, but I still had unpacked boxes and everything was quite a mess! The reason they wanted to see is they've lived here years and years, and said this house is known to be haunted, and that the people who lived here BEFORE the people I bought it from practiced witchcraft in the room above my living room.
I didn't doubt her or anything because I shared back my stories of living here. I have been siting quietly, maybe getting ready for sleep, and all the sudden I will hear what sounds like a brick coming through a window. I'm the weirdo who goes to seek out the sound LOL, but I'll never find one broken thing! All the normal "haunting" things have happened here including hearing the loud crash of something falling IN THE ROOM IM IN AND NOTHING IS MOVED!
A few months back, a band I know of, it was the 5 year anniversary of his death (he was brutally murdered, but the 3 are in prison in another country) and his former band mates were making a song for him.
Having nothing to do with that, I needed to sell some things and I found a few boxes of baseball and movie and rock cards. Since the band he was in was special to me, I have all their rock cards in an actual scrapbook. So I was thumbing through the BASEBALL card box and a card comes whipping OUT of the box like someone just flipped it out. I mean literally turning, and well, it was HIS card.
I'd gotten a Ouija board awhile back, and had promised a friend I would indeed get RID of the board! But, that night I said, I'm getting it out, my friend was over, so while we were going to rest from putting together yard sale items, I sat his card in the middle of the top between the "yes & no", then sat the planchette (which a fake one was used, but by the rules it doesn't have to be the plastic one that had gone strangely missing, so I made my own) I aimed it toward his photo! I lit a tea light candle over the yes and the no.
THIS BOARD WAS NO WHERE NEAR ANY PLACE WE COULD NOT SEE NOR WAS IT CLOSE ENOUGH FOR EITHER OF US TO TOUCH. The house is big, one of those huge high ceiling houses. So we reclined for a rest and turned on a movie.. just a random, I don't remember which one! When the movie was over I looked over at the board, and the photo of him was sideways and the planchette was facing to the "NO" We both looked at each other and got goosebumps because we KNEW neither one touched it. Well, I took the card off and tossed the board in the back room, which the next day after my fried had left ended up in the front room (there are two living rooms, as the house has been added onto over the years.) So I put it by the back door so it could go out in the next burn garbage day. Again, back to the living room and faced downward. Again I took it, only this time I actually put it OUTSIDE IN the box of things to burn. It didn't stay there, it was upside down on my cooler.
Well, I could go on and on about the strange things that have happened here and yes the board made it to the burn pit. But glass still breaks but I've still never find broken glass. And I know old houses are creaky, and yes squirrels do jump from the trees to the house and pitter patter across the tin roof, but it doesn't explain the sound of boots taking large steps that are right above my living room.
Just sayin'..... (I'M NOT MOVING no matter how many things move or change!) :)
My ghost story...took place 5 days ago, I'm 13 yrs old. Here we go: One day I was up in my room watching a movie and writing songs. I was home alone, my dad went to go get dinner. Then as I went to go sharpen my pencil my door opened and a red glow went on. I wasn't scared, cuz it was my phone telling me it was on dead battery, but it was fully charged! So I couldn't call my dad, cuz my phone was dead, but my dad came home and I had to go collect crabs for our special dinner. So as I went I saw that the clouds were rolling in, all gray blue and black. And then I heard a crying so then I started running home but then it started getting windy and I saw a hurricane! So as I was running I tripped and my leg was gushing with blood! I was really scared but my dad came and got me. He told me that there was no hurricane! I was okay 2 days later. But, just yesterday as I was jumping on my trampoline with flower petals all over the trampoline but just then the flower petals started to burn! I was freaking out I didn't want to die! And then I saw a girl about my age jumping on the trampoline! Her face was red and she smiled at me and her teeth were sharp just like a sharks!!! I was hopefully okay and 4 hours ago I searched up what happened with me and turns out that I caught the oceans curse while I was getting the crabs and the girl was called the Unknown Mysery!
You may not believe me, but it was all true!
Hey, I am a girl living in a town close by. I have seen a few ghost now and then. But this encounter was the freakiest. I was in my house all alone before my mom got off of work. And of course I was on the computer. The tv was off, anyway, I was playing around on YouTube when the tv turns on. The remote was like 20 feet away from me! I didn't think of it as something I should worry about, turn it off and went back to the computer. Well, me and my best friends have these "encounters" a lot since our school is a old church. Well this scared me, when I was little, I would here my name when no one was around, Some one yelled my name, right in my ear, I screamed in panic, the tv remote gets thrown across the room. When I saw this, the first thing I did was hide (stupid I know!). There was a thunderstorm outside going on, which was natural for us. But the light turn out and I see the weirdest shadow from where I was sitting. It looked like a little boy. (CANNOT FIX, I WAS AT MY FRIENDS HOUSE). Her house is extremely old. So I got up from my hiding place and ran outside to where she was. When I told her want happen, we heard a blood curdling scream come from the basement. She took my hand and we ran up to the attic where we saw apparition of a hanging woman. She screamed even though she new about the stories. We felt a chill down our spines, and there stood the boy, with a bloody face. My friend and I have seen this before, I am always at her house, but this is the worst. You see, me and her always like to record EMPs on hour phones, and we did get results. We took pictures and saw floating orbs, but the best we got was when I was alone in the attic by myself and got the picture we were looking for, the young boy by the old bed that was in there. I also recorded some EMPs, and got a young boys voice saying our names. I did not hear this until later that night. All we could do was be afraid as we see the same apparitions over again. But we couldn't do much, we ran to the attic door, but it was locked. The boy looked at us with sadness in his face then yelled that same scream. At this time both of us passed out, the scream was too much. I woke up on the old bed, but I had this weird necklace on me. My friend had just woke up, except she had cuts on her. We promised not to tell a living soul about the note we had found, which was a story about the missing past in the story. I hope this serves a reminder about spirits. Both me and my friend buried our necklaces in the backyard, keeping the promise that was on that note, we think that the boy didn't want us to leave. Which was sad, the story about it was that the boy had a older sister, she promised him that she would be back from her trip in a week. (this was in the 1800s) She never did return, later that year, the war had started, and the boys mother was hanged in the attic for helping slaves. The boy had disappeared with no trace. Both of us must have been like the sister. I guess it is the luck of the draw. Because the sisters name was Hope. My first name and my friends middle name..........hope you liked this story.....
Oh my god. That is such a scary story!!!! I would have never thought that a ghost would do that, did you ever see it again? My mom showed me this story, and I could not go back to sleep. To believe that their is such a coincidence between all three of you, I would move if I had the chance. Were the children buried in the proximity?
Yes they did get buried their. But I had found out that Their was a older brother that was In the war ( don't know exactly which one) that had survived. They lived in that house until about the 1920s, when the family mysteriously disappeared without a trace. But the thing that creeped me out was, they were found a month later, dead. And the oldest twin daughters, wore the neck laces that we woke up on...........creepy...... Then the other thing was, the two twins went missing before the family died, yep, they were never found. Yet I found a picture of the twin, they were not identical, but they looked like my friend and I!!! It also said that the twins would sleep in the attic and actually PLAY with the boy, not knowing it was a ghost. But when the parents figured out this, they never allowed them back in the attic. This must have causeD the boy to become mad a KILL the family. To tell the truth, me and my friend, when we were little, we used to play in that same attic with the boy, not knowing either. The thing that killed me, my friends stepbrother looked just like the man who killed the mother. It must have thought we were traitors, yet it still cared for us! I guess it still thought we were the twins. We still catch glimpses of him, but he looks almost happy, as if we were the twins. I guess it is something that we could live with, what I mean is, I sometimes see him looking at me, faintly at me when. I am in bed, at my house. So he must be a guardian angel. :.)
last night, i was watching tv when i heard a crackling sound in the attic i was so terrified i looked down in the attic to see what was that noise when i got down in the attic i saw a girl next beside me and i thought she was very scary,she is but she wasnt scary she said hi to me but when i said to her hi or maybe it is hello she jumped on me and scratch me with her very pointed fingernails it was very
very sharp my dad saw me in the attic bleeding to death he got me in the hospital and later i saw that girl again and then she just sat beside me and its just like she is healing me i dont believe it she just scratched me and going to heal me when i was alone in the hospital and i got better but the girl still wanted to haunt me. i dont know whats the meaning of it!!!

Hello out there in eastern North Carolina. I am studying so-called ghost/spook/mystery lights and would like to hear from (reply to this note) anyone who has seen any of the lights in the eastern part of the state, particularly those between Wilmington and Fayetteville.
I saw the famous Maco Light in the early 1960s and it was R E A L! Sometime soon (I live in the Midwest), I hope to visit southeatern NC and search for lights myself!
i turned my light out in my bedroom at my sleepover with my bff. suddenly when i turned it off my laptop turned on. i thought it was just a tripped electricity. me and my bff decided to record us sleeping that night and when we watched it back in the morning it was weird. we watched and at 2:00am exactly we both sat up in our beds and said "Carrie come back" then fell in our beds again.
