To this day people say that if you are driving down the Brownville Road, often you can see an apparition of a woman dressed in white walking along this stretch of highway either on or near the green bridge. Others say that she appears when the weather turns foul and there is a dense fog or mist. There is one account of a group of curiosity seekers that parked on the bridge with their lights out during a dense fog, hoping to get a glimpse of "The White Lady". They got a little more than they bargained for because when they turned the lights back on, the windows had fogged up as you may expect with a lot of people in the car. However, on the outside of the car in the condensation that gathered on the windows, there were hand prints all over.

| The bridge on Brownsville Road, also known as "The White Lady" bridge. |
It is rumored that on the original Brownville road that is next to the new one, you can still find the wreckage of the car that crashed that night long ago, still in the ditch. Perhaps something happened to her on that dreadful night and her spirit returns to the place where it believes she can find her lost groom.
Having grown up in Millinocket I have seen the apparition myself. I have heard of stories where she has gone as far as to walk over a car while a couple was "Parking" near the Rt. 11 Green Bridge. The apparition pictured above is just a little too clear to be what I saw and the dress is too new to be that our a 40's to 50's era dress. And Yes there is reckage in the woods near the current Rt. 11 bridge and the era of the car is correct. A couple of local video graphers did a blare witch style home video tour and it aired on Millinocket Public TV.
ReplyDeletei personally myself grew up in millinocket, still do live here. i am 17 years old, i have seen the white lady, it is the most scaryist thing i have ever encountered in my life but i do recomend trying it to see yourself :)
ReplyDeleteIt is the Brownville Rd, not the Brownsville Rd.
ReplyDeletei actually went there last night with a bunch of my friends and sat there with the lights out and i thought i saw a white shadow cross fast on the other side of the bridge where the old road is.. it was so creepy! yet fun.. next time around we are going to park on the actual road where it happend.. and see what happens.. and i wasnt the only one who had seen that light either. it was completely dark and the light popped up more than once.. i recomend seeing it.. because its happend to more than one person and its not all in your head.. thats for sure
ReplyDeleteWhere is this bridge? Cant find it on a map.. Is it the bridge between brownville and millinocket?

ReplyDeleteI was just there tonight and me and friend parked there and i kept seeing this white mist go around the car as we drove away. we also went on it more then five times tonight and stopped and said her name so we were calling her to come. she is there and it is scary shit
ReplyDeleteGrowing up in millincket my self the story of std's and whores reign supreme and the white lady was not white in fact she was tan.
ReplyDeleteMy father and I saw a woman dressed in white walking the Brownville road one night in the 1970's. I don't know if she was a ghost or just a woman who wore white to be seen by oncoming cars.
ReplyDeleteAbsolute bullpucky. This malarkey was created back in the early 80s by some rather enterprising local teens--who shall remain nameless--who not only first created a bullshit "white lady" rumor but then followed it up by staging some hauntings in long flowing diaphanous white lace sheets on hot summer nights when fog was on the river.
ReplyDeleteFog happens on cold summer mornings stop being troll kid. The ghost may or may not be real I've never seen it. But it sounds like you just want to throw a couple big words around to sound like you know anything.- (registered maine guide)
DeleteThis story definitely began before the early 80's. I knew of it when I was growing up in Millinocket in the 60's and 70's.
ReplyDeleteI and my husband saw the old car, then a short ways up the road saw her walking, we drove slowly by, and the nest thing we knew she was in our back seat, scaring us sh-tless we spoke to her, asking where she lived she replied, but her voice was hollow sounding, and we couldn't understand her, just then we came upon a small diner and pulled in only to find she had disappeared from the back seat, when we entered the diner, everyone stopped talking and the place was full of people, the man at the counter said you have seen the lady in white haven't you, we told him what happened, and he said almost everyone in the diner had his or her story about seeing the lady in white this is a true story believe it or not
ReplyDeleteDon't get me wrong I've seen a ghost many years ago so I know they're out there. What I don't understand is how she can just disappear after the accident. Did anyone ever look for her body?
