On the long stretch of road, between Sumter and Columbia, there is a bridge that is said to be haunted by a beautiful young woman. She was supposedly killed in an accident when the Wateree River Bridge was first built. Since that day she has been seen at the bridge where concerned motorist will offer her a ride. She accepts and gets in the car; she then tells how she trying to get to Columbia to visit her sick mother that lives on Pickens Street. Once the car reaches the Columbia side of the bridge the girl vanishes from the car. One couple went to the address that the young woman give them, to find her sister that told them that the young girl had died on that bridge and has reappeared on the anniversary of her death many time before.
