Women in white, midnight Mary, lonely roads all over the US and other parts of the world have their own legends of a young woman in a pale dress, wandering in the middle of the night searching for someone to give them a ride. Sometimes they’re searching for their true love. They hitch a ride with an unsuspecting motorist, or they mysteriously appear in someone’s car. These forlorn ladies are doomed to roam the roadways for all eternity, until their beloveds return.
In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, a holiday usually considered a celebration of romantic love, lets throw a little horror into the mix. In this episode you’ll hear stories of romance that ended with at least one partner tethered to this mortal coil in the form of a woman in white, and the history behind these lovelorn hauntings.
