A Woman in White

{"text":"The stretch of Highway 5 near Ashbank, Alabama was known for its eerie silence, even during the busiest of nights. Locals whispered about a haunted stretch of road, where strange things occurred, and many avoided it altogether. But for a select few, this road held a darker secret.\n\nOn a particularly dark and stormy night, Mark and Sarah, two long-haul truckers, drove their Peterbilt truck along this treacherous highway, unaware of the chilling tale that lay ahead. They had been on their way to their last delivery in the town of Haleyville before some well deserved days of home time and relaxation. Suddenly, a blinding flash of lightning illuminated the dark road, and Sarah gasped as she saw a woman in white appear in the passenger window.\n\nHer eyes widened in terror as the woman's ghostly figure looked directly into hers, searching for something. It was as if she was looking for someone, or something, and the intensity of her gaze sent shivers down Sarah's spine. Mark swerved across the yellow lines jamming the brakes, instinctively avoiding the mysterious figure, but it was too late. The woman vanished into thin air, leaving behind only a faint whisper that echoed through the night.\n\nAs they drove on, Sarah couldn't shake the feeling that they had just witnessed something beyond the realm of human comprehension. Mark tried to reassure her, but the couple couldn't help but feel that they were being watched, that the woman in white was still out there, searching for something.\n\nDays turned into weeks, and Sarah couldn't shake the memory of that haunting night. She began to do her research, delving into the town's history, searching for any clues about the woman in white. It was then that she discovered the truth. More than a decade earlier, a young woman named Emily had been struck head on and killed on that very stretch of highway. Her spirit was said to wander the road, looking for the driver who had taken her life.\n\nSarah couldn't help but feel a connection to Emily, and she became obsessed with finding the truth. She spent countless hours researching, pouring over old newspaper articles and police reports, until she finally uncovered the identity of the driver who had caused the tragic accident. It was a man named James Thompson, who had been suspected of driving drunk that fateful night.\n\nArmed with this new knowledge, Mark and Sarah returned to the haunted highway, determined to lay Emily's spirit to rest. As they drove along the dark road, Sarah could feel Emily's presence, and she knew that this was the night they would finally find closure.\n\nAs they approached the spot where Emily's life had been taken, Sarah saw the woman in white once more. This time, however, she was not searching for them. Instead, she was reaching out, her hand extended as if to guide them. Sarah stepped out of the truck, and as she approached the ghostly figure, she could see the anguish in Emily's eyes.\n\nWithout a word, Emily's spirit led Sarah to a small knoll of leaves and tussled weeds just off the side of the road. There, Sarah found the weathered skeletal remains of what turned out to be James Thompson, the man who had caused Emily's death. The instrument of his final act lay within his open yet undiscovered grave. With a newfound sense of peace, Emily's spirit vanished into the night, leaving behind a sense of closure and a renewed appreciation for the power of forgiveness.\n\nFrom that day on, the stretch of Highway 5 near Ashbank, Alabama was no longer haunted by the ghost of Emily. Instead, it became a symbol of hope, a reminder that even in the darkest of times, forgiveness and closure are always possible. And for Mark and Sarah, their encounter with Emily's spirit would forever change their lives, leaving them with a profound sense of gratitude and a newfound appreciation for the mysteries of the human spirit.\n\nHAPPY HALLOWEEN DRIVERS!","videos":"[]","link":"{}","pics":"[]","canComment":true,"externalShare":false}

","text":"I first heard this story in the mid-1990s in and around that area of Alabama. I made up the ending, but as you said, more than a few drivers have bore witness to seeing her. I, however, never did. Thankfully!"}
