light a candle, and let's dive into this here, eerie tale.
Way back in the early 1900s, they say there was a family living out on a farm just off Jones Nursery
Road. The Jones family, well-respected folks, ran a little nursery growing plants and trees.
Life was peaceful enough for them, but one fateful night tragedy struck, and the story that followed
still rattles through these parts today. Old Man Jones was driving his wagon back from town
late one evening, just as a storm started rolling in. The sky was heavy with clouds,
thunder rumbled low in the distance, and the rain started to pour. He never made it home that night.
They say his wagon veered off the road, maybe spooked by a flash of lightning or
some wild animal in the night. When they found him the next morning, he was stone dead,
crushed beneath that old wagon, soaked clean through from the rain. But here's where the story turns
dark, because ever since that night, folks claim Old Man Jones ain't left this earth entirely.
There's been more than a few strange happenings along Jones Nursery Road since that night.
One tale that keeps coming up is about a ghostly wagon folks swear they've seen rolling along the
road in the dead of night. It's always on stormy nights, just like the one that took Old Man Jones.
It goes something like this. Folks driving the road at night in heavy rain will sometimes catch the
faint sound of clopping hooves or the rattling wheels of a wagon coming up behind them. Some say
it's quiet at first, just a whisper on the wind, but before long that sound grows louder,
like something big's coming right up on you. If you dare to look in your rearview mirror,
some folks have seen it, a dark outline of an old-fashioned horse-drawn wagon pulled by a pair
of ghostly horses. The wagon don't slow down neither as if it's fixing to ram straight through you.
Most folks, well, they hit the gas and try to outrun whatever's coming up behind them.
But if you're brave enough or foolish enough to stay on that road, the wagon will eventually
vanish into thin air. Leave a new wonder in if what you saw was real. But here's the kicker.
They say if you see that wagon on Jones Nursery Road, it's a warning. Something bad is coming.
A wreck, a death, or worse. Now the ghostly wagon ain't the only thing wandering Jones Nursery
Road after dark. There's another spirit that's got folks mighty unsettled, the lady in white.
Some say she was a local woman who lost her life on that road, but the details of her story
have changed over time. Some folks say she was the widow of old man Jones Nursery Road.
She was the widow of old man Jones, driven mad by grief after his death. Others claim she was a
young bride whose fiancée met a tragic end before they could wed. Whatever the truth is,
the lady in white is said to appear on foggy nights, walking along the side of the road,
dressed in a long, flowing gown. She don't say nothing, just walk slow like she's searching for
something or someone. Some folks have even picked her up, thinking she's just some lost soul needing
a ride. But let me tell you, the minute she gets in your car, you're gonna regret it.
They say she don't speak, but if you glance over at her in the passenger seat,
her face is cold as death, eyes staring off into the distance. And no matter what you do,
she never says a word. Some folks claim she disappears from the car altogether before they
even get to the end of the road, leaving them in a cold sweat, heart pounding.
Jones Nursery Road ain't a place folks talk about lightly. Local farmers and old timers will tell
you straight out, stay away after dark. There have been too many stories of wrecks, strange
disappearances, and accidents along that stretch of road. Some reckon it's cursed, others say it's
just bad luck. But most folks who know the tales will tell you something ain't right there.
From the ghostly wagon to the lady-in-white, folks around Clark County treat that road with a healthy
dose of respect. Those who've seen the strange apparitions or felt the chill that runs down
your spine while driving there, well, they tend to avoid the place. But others, well,
they go looking for trouble, hoping to catch a glimpse of the supernatural. They'll drive that
road in the dead of night, hoping to come face to face with old man Jones or the lady-in-white.
But let me tell you, if you go looking for ghosts on Jones Nursery Road,
you best be prepared for what you find. Folks say that once you see the spirits that haunt that road,
they might just take a liking to you, and they'll follow you home. It's not just an old tale to scare
the youngins, it's a warning that's been passed down through the generations. So next time you
find yourself driving out that way, keep your eyes peeled and your wits sharp. If you hear the clatter
of hooves or catch a glimpse of a pale figure by the roadside, don't look too close. And whatever
you do, don't stop. Now folks around these parts also talk about another eerie figure that haunts
Jones Nursery Road. The ghost of a young lady who met her tragic end at a sharp curve near the end
of a long, straight stretch of the road. They say it was late one night when her car went flying off
that bend, crashing into the trees, leaving her life cut short in the blink of an eye.
Ever since that terrible night, folks have whispered about strange things happening right there at that
curve. Some say, if you drive down that road late enough just when the night's at its darkest,
something strange might happen. The road stretches out before you, straight as an arrow,
but just as you near that curve, if you dare stop your car, turn off them headlights and
sit in the silence, the ghost of that poor young woman might appear. They say she comes out of
nowhere, walking slowly toward the car, her figure faint and misty in the moonlight,
and the chills don't end there. If you try to shut off your car, don't be surprised if it won't
start back up again. More than one local has been left stranded on that dark stretch of road,
sweating bullets, trying to turn the key in the ignition with nothing but the eerie silence,
and the sight of her ghost coming closer and closer. Some folks say it's like she's drawn to
anyone who stops there as if she's reliving that night over and over again, trying to find help or
warn others of what could happen. Either way, no one who's seen her has ever been the same.
So there you have it, folks, the haunt and tale of Joan's nursery road. But now, we want to hear
from y'all. Have you ever heard about any strange happenings on that road? Maybe even seen something
