Lydia is her middle name. Which makes the accounts even more convincing, because how would every motorist have been able to correctly guess the middle name of a girl no one knew actually existed until the Patriot was discovered?
The Patriot existed at the time of Annie Ludia Jackson's death. In fact, it was the FIRST paper to report her death THE DAY AFTER IT OCCURRED. However, the Patriot, nor other papers gave her middle name. This was found from her grandmother, but MANY would have known it... Family member, co workers ( she was NOT a teenager, but a 35 year old factory worker), church members, neighbors, etc... I am the c author who wrote the book.
I saw something at that bridge in 1986. It was late and raining. I was going home from work and barely awake. After going under the bridge what I thought was a girl in a white dress was walking on the right headed towards gboro. I passed her. Imediatly after passing her I thought that's a girl. Being a 20 year old with raging hormones I turned around and went back looking for her. Poof gone. I had never heard of the legend. So I just thought I had imagined it. True story.
Back in the late 70s my aunt and her friends were playing pranks on people going under the bridge. My aunt was the one in a white dress standing under the bridge and her friends were filming people’s reactions. Her friends pulled up to the bridge to tell my aunt to get in because the rain was getting bad. She hopped in the back of the car and took a glance back to only see a pale woman standing stoically where she once stood. I’ll never forget that story. My aunt got goosebumps when she told me this.
Though not specifically a ghost story, there is a house almost directly across from the church there in jamestown about a 1/2 mile from "Lydia's bridge" where a guy, i think back in the 60s or 70s killed his entire family. There's a book about it somewhere but i cant remember all the details.
That happened in Rural Hall, NC a long, long time ago. Charlie Lawson murdered every member of his family except for one teenage son on December 25th, 1929. The location is nowhere near Lydia's Bridge, however. It's closeby though, a couple of towns over! The Lawson graves DO exist, but are on private property. Very interesting to research this murder, go check it out!
THE BOOK wHITE cHRISTMAS, bLOODY cHRISTMAS HAS nothing TO DO WITH jAMESTOWN, AND THE lAWSON fAM WAS NOWHERE NEAR A CHURCH. nOT SURE HOW THESE 2 STORIES FROM 2 VASLY DIFFERENT LOCATIONS GOT MIXED TOGETHER. lYDIA HAS nothing TO DO WITH THEM... God, I hate Caps Lock, but damned if I'm gonna retype all that @@SaturnStatic
CORRECTION NOTE!!! The caption on the man's photo should say he is her NEPHEW, not her uncle. I just don't want to waste data usage fixing it in the video right now...
I just LOVE when people try to argue with me about the facts, not realizing I am one of the authors who uncovered the facts about Annie LUDIA Jackson, and wrote the book... s... m... H!!!
I grew up in High Point and I hated going under that bridge at night. Always knew that they straightened the street and the actual bridge in covered with weeds.
I'm a certified paranormal investigator. I went here a year ago today on a foggy night! No sign of Annie, but strangely my back door wouldn't open from the inside? After leaving there my car had trouble with the air compressor that I had to replace twice, a expensive part... Then heading to another haunted location East by the ocean it drove me through a read light. Thankfully the other cars were just starting to go and I made it through without hitting anyone. That might have been due to a cross in the next block where someone else might have crashed and died, but scared the begeasies out of me. Ghost I can deal with, but car possession? Is it possible? No mechanic could tell me what was wrong, except online it said something about the throttle body on the gas pedal could be sticking. I traded the thing in after it did it a second time. I said enough of that. You guy's who created this film need a extra team member, let me know. I got a few gadgets and a time stopping/ufo detector device. I'm still trying to figure the thing out. What part of North Carolina you in? I'm near Winston-Salem. Anyone else that wants a extra for a hunt, contact me! Maxs paranormal investigations... ✌💓

I grew up in the 80s in Jamestown......I lived less than two miles from her bridge.....in high school I would hang out down at her bridge ....until the satanists took her bridge for their own endugence .I never returned after they desecrated her bridge.....glad to hear her legend is still howlin.
Ik I'm rlly late on this but I live in Greensboro and this past weekend I went to Jamestown in order for me to get there I have to go under the bridge......now they have two bridges the one she died under is blocked off with trees
I Actually Live In North Carolina But I Honestly Never Seen Her Ghost Spirit I Think The Reason Is Because I Don't Go At Greensboro That Much That's Probably Why, I Live At North Carolina In Princeton
The guy who runs that profile changed it after my associate contacted him... Her middle name has been found to be after her maternal grandmother's "known as" name... L-U-D-I-A... It was spelled that way, not with a "y" While the names are interchangeable in old records, Ludia is the correct spelling and pronunciation. All found after this video was posted.
No. That was a supposition we put forward when te name Lydia did not pan out. After 30 years of research, a news article was found i the old Greensboro Patriot newspaper, and later, the High Point Enterprise, from te summer of 1920. On June 20th, of that year, Miss Annie Louise Jackson of 201 N. Davie St. in GREENSBORO, not High Point, was killed in a single car accident at that scene. She was NOT a teeager, and NOT on er way home from a high school dance. This is tye ONLY recorded accident at that scene of this nature during the time period. Jackson is buried at Holts Chapel Cemetery in Greensboro. We found tat SEVERAL stories were combined into the COMPOSITE "Lydia" character of legend. While Jackson was in er thirties... and I MUST stress... THE ONLY FATALITY in a car crash at that location... One girl whose story got mixed in WAS a teenager. Her name was Lena MARY Farringtonm 18, of Park Street in High Point. She died in a car crash in February, 1922 on the WINSTON-SALEM Rd., also known as The Winston-Salem/High Point Rd., which is OLD US 311. This accident happened at George Penny's farm on that road, 2 miles north of High Point's 1922 city limits, which places it near Horneytown Crossroads... The George Penny property caused confusion later, as e built Pennybyrne on The rad out towards Jamestown and people thought it happened there, which it didn't. Farrington is indeed buried in Oakwood Cemetery, where legend places "Lydia." A Lydia Fields, 60, died in December, 1921 in Greensboro, in front of er house in Proximity Mill Village. Her family owned property in Jamestown, and she was related to 15 year old Lydia Fields, who died of peritonitis in Jamestown in 1916. Both were related to Lydia Modlin, 70, who died of pneumonia after a wreck i 1928, and whose niece owned property on Vickrey Chapel Rd., which is the road recorded as having the supposed house by law enforcement. All 3 were related to Lydia Jane Davis McCarthy whose family owned land all around the underpass site. For many years, people aimed SHE was THE Lydia, because of false claims by a Larry Jones. However, obtaining her death certificate proves she was not. McCarthy was 76 when she died Dec. 31, 1923 of HEART FAILURE. The popularity of te name Lydia in te area is why that name became used, thanks to author Nancy Roberts. The bluegrass song, Bringing Mary Home" is based on this legend, and dozens of others. The stories shared with me about a house on Johnson St. in High Point proved FALSE. If you are thinking of the story on Monsters And Mysteries In America and other Destination Channel shows, I was interviewed in that segment and Mary was a THEORY I had BEFORE the research and documentation led us to the truth. Thanks for your interest...
Based on a recent discovery in her maternal family tree, we now think her middle name was possibly Luda/Ludia, which can also be shortened to Lou like Louise, AND is interchangeable with "Lydia" in the dialects of those days...
We had considered that, especially considering Chicago's mob ties to High Point, with gangsters trading stories... However, THAT woman gets out at the cemetery, invariably...
At one time, High Point, NC was KNOWN as a mob hub, especially during the Prohibition Era. It was even called, "Little Chicago..." The famous Biltmore Hotel there was a mob-tied operation...
+The Ghosthunter wow that's fascinating . I consider myself a but of a mafia/mob historian and I never knew any of this. Thank you for the information good sir.
Since this was made, we have determined that her full name was Annie LUDIA Jackson, the Ludia after her maternal grandmother. Ludia and Lydia are phonetically similar, and interchangeable in old documents...

I don't know who originated the phantom hitchhiker stories, but I have to admit it's a brilliant premise. It's been around forever.

The L in her middle name stands for Lydia. You can find her grave and a picture of her on findagrave.com

She had a sister named Mary
did I miss something? What was Annie's middle name? I saw, Annie L. Jackson on the death certificate.
Based on a recent discovery in her maternal family tree, we now think her middle name was possibly Luda/Ludia, which can also be shortened to Lou like Louise, AND is interchangeable with "Lydia" in the dialects of those days...
That was the question I was going to ask.
this is going to make me scream
Huh? No sidden jump outs.
The Mary in the song, is probably the Resurrection Mary ghost from Chicago.
We had considered that, especially considering Chicago's mob ties to High Point, with gangsters trading stories... However, THAT woman gets out at the cemetery, invariably...
Annie had a sister named Mary who died in 1907, at 28, of an undisclosed illness...
