00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,040
Alright folks, follow me down a road that wears two faces, one of Serene Beauty by Day and

2
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:14,000
another of Haunted Earriness by Night. We're taking a trip down Jones Nursery Road, a place

3
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:20,240
steeped in history and shrouded in mystery. As we dive into the stories that have long clung

4
00:00:20,240 --> 00:00:26,080
to this stretch of blacktop, you'll hear about its past and the whispers that still stir the trees

5
00:00:26,080 --> 00:00:33,280
when the moon takes the sky. So come along, listen close, and decide for yourself whether Jones

6
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:39,200
Nursery Road is just another quiet path through Clark County, or if it holds something far more

7
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:48,000
unsettling waiting in the dark. Well, howdy y'all, and welcome to Scary Stories from Kentucky,

10
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:09,200
grass state, sharing haunting stories that'll send a shiver right down your spine. You can find us on

12
00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:23,680
video version of this story over on our YouTube channel. Links in the description. Now settle in,

13
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:28,480
light a candle, and let's dive into this here, eerie tale.

14
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:37,360
Way back in the early 1900s, they say there was a family living out on a farm just off Jones Nursery

15
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:44,880
Road. The Jones family, well-respected folks, ran a little nursery growing plants and trees.

16
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:52,880
Life was peaceful enough for them, but one fateful night tragedy struck, and the story that followed

17
00:01:52,880 --> 00:02:00,080
still rattles through these parts today. Old Man Jones was driving his wagon back from town

18
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:06,800
late one evening, just as a storm started rolling in. The sky was heavy with clouds,

19
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:13,440
thunder rumbled low in the distance, and the rain started to pour. He never made it home that night.

20
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:20,000
They say his wagon veered off the road, maybe spooked by a flash of lightning or

21
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:26,560
some wild animal in the night. When they found him the next morning, he was stone dead,

22
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:34,240
crushed beneath that old wagon, soaked clean through from the rain. But here's where the story turns

23
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:40,880
dark, because ever since that night, folks claim Old Man Jones ain't left this earth entirely.

24
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:47,360
There's been more than a few strange happenings along Jones Nursery Road since that night.

25
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:52,720
One tale that keeps coming up is about a ghostly wagon folks swear they've seen rolling along the

26
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:59,200
road in the dead of night. It's always on stormy nights, just like the one that took Old Man Jones.

27
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:07,200
It goes something like this. Folks driving the road at night in heavy rain will sometimes catch the

28
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:13,600
faint sound of clopping hooves or the rattling wheels of a wagon coming up behind them. Some say

29
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:21,280
it's quiet at first, just a whisper on the wind, but before long that sound grows louder,

30
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:27,360
like something big's coming right up on you. If you dare to look in your rearview mirror,

31
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:34,560
some folks have seen it, a dark outline of an old-fashioned horse-drawn wagon pulled by a pair

32
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:41,600
of ghostly horses. The wagon don't slow down neither as if it's fixing to ram straight through you.

33
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:46,800
Most folks, well, they hit the gas and try to outrun whatever's coming up behind them.

34
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:52,720
But if you're brave enough or foolish enough to stay on that road, the wagon will eventually

35
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:59,840
vanish into thin air. Leave a new wonder in if what you saw was real. But here's the kicker.

36
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:06,960
They say if you see that wagon on Jones Nursery Road, it's a warning. Something bad is coming.

37
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:14,960
A wreck, a death, or worse. Now the ghostly wagon ain't the only thing wandering Jones Nursery

38
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:21,440
Road after dark. There's another spirit that's got folks mighty unsettled, the lady in white.

39
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:28,720
Some say she was a local woman who lost her life on that road, but the details of her story

40
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:34,960
have changed over time. Some folks say she was the widow of old man Jones Nursery Road.

41
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:42,560
She was the widow of old man Jones, driven mad by grief after his death. Others claim she was a

42
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:49,520
young bride whose fiancée met a tragic end before they could wed. Whatever the truth is,

43
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:55,520
the lady in white is said to appear on foggy nights, walking along the side of the road,

44
00:04:55,520 --> 00:05:02,480
dressed in a long, flowing gown. She don't say nothing, just walk slow like she's searching for

45
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:08,800
something or someone. Some folks have even picked her up, thinking she's just some lost soul needing

46
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:14,320
a ride. But let me tell you, the minute she gets in your car, you're gonna regret it.

47
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:21,040
They say she don't speak, but if you glance over at her in the passenger seat,

48
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:27,680
her face is cold as death, eyes staring off into the distance. And no matter what you do,

49
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:34,400
she never says a word. Some folks claim she disappears from the car altogether before they

50
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:39,440
even get to the end of the road, leaving them in a cold sweat, heart pounding.

51
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:48,000
Jones Nursery Road ain't a place folks talk about lightly. Local farmers and old timers will tell

52
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:54,800
you straight out, stay away after dark. There have been too many stories of wrecks, strange

53
00:05:54,800 --> 00:06:02,160
disappearances, and accidents along that stretch of road. Some reckon it's cursed, others say it's

54
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:08,160
just bad luck. But most folks who know the tales will tell you something ain't right there.

55
00:06:09,840 --> 00:06:16,000
From the ghostly wagon to the lady-in-white, folks around Clark County treat that road with a healthy

56
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:22,160
dose of respect. Those who've seen the strange apparitions or felt the chill that runs down

57
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:28,880
your spine while driving there, well, they tend to avoid the place. But others, well,

58
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:34,800
they go looking for trouble, hoping to catch a glimpse of the supernatural. They'll drive that

59
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:40,880
road in the dead of night, hoping to come face to face with old man Jones or the lady-in-white.

60
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:47,600
But let me tell you, if you go looking for ghosts on Jones Nursery Road,

61
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:54,560
you best be prepared for what you find. Folks say that once you see the spirits that haunt that road,

62
00:06:54,560 --> 00:07:01,280
they might just take a liking to you, and they'll follow you home. It's not just an old tale to scare

63
00:07:01,280 --> 00:07:08,080
the youngins, it's a warning that's been passed down through the generations. So next time you

64
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:15,600
find yourself driving out that way, keep your eyes peeled and your wits sharp. If you hear the clatter

65
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:22,480
of hooves or catch a glimpse of a pale figure by the roadside, don't look too close. And whatever

66
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:31,040
you do, don't stop. Now folks around these parts also talk about another eerie figure that haunts

67
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:37,760
Jones Nursery Road. The ghost of a young lady who met her tragic end at a sharp curve near the end

68
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:44,320
of a long, straight stretch of the road. They say it was late one night when her car went flying off

69
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:50,080
that bend, crashing into the trees, leaving her life cut short in the blink of an eye.

70
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:58,160
Ever since that terrible night, folks have whispered about strange things happening right there at that

71
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:05,200
curve. Some say, if you drive down that road late enough just when the night's at its darkest,

72
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:12,160
something strange might happen. The road stretches out before you, straight as an arrow,

73
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:18,880
but just as you near that curve, if you dare stop your car, turn off them headlights and

74
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:26,400
sit in the silence, the ghost of that poor young woman might appear. They say she comes out of

75
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:32,560
nowhere, walking slowly toward the car, her figure faint and misty in the moonlight,

76
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:39,840
and the chills don't end there. If you try to shut off your car, don't be surprised if it won't

77
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:46,480
start back up again. More than one local has been left stranded on that dark stretch of road,

78
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:51,920
sweating bullets, trying to turn the key in the ignition with nothing but the eerie silence,

79
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:58,720
and the sight of her ghost coming closer and closer. Some folks say it's like she's drawn to

80
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:05,200
anyone who stops there as if she's reliving that night over and over again, trying to find help or

81
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:11,040
warn others of what could happen. Either way, no one who's seen her has ever been the same.

82
00:09:11,680 --> 00:09:18,160
So there you have it, folks, the haunt and tale of Joan's nursery road. But now, we want to hear
