This isn’t one of those stories.
In the 1950s, a plane trying to make it through a thunderstorm to land at the Greenville airport crashed into the mountainside just a few yards off of Highway 107 near Walhalla, South Carolina. The wreckage of his small, single-engine aircraft was found but the pilot’s body was never recovered.
But, that doesn’t mean that no one has seen him since …
On this episode, we explore “Hot Rod Haven,” the legend of a fatal crash that occurred there, and the young woman who may still haunt it.
Known locally as “Lydia,” on this episode of Epitaph, we investigate the history of the Jamestown underpass, the accidents that took place there and find the story of a young woman whose tragic, brutal death near the underpass may have inspired one of North Carolina’s most well-known legends.
Part ghost story and part history, Epitaph aims to find the people behind familiar and not-so-familiar hauntings, explore their stories, and find out why they’re coming back to us.
