Mamie Thurman's Lingering Spirit

Head southwest out of Logan, West Virginia and you’ll end up on an isolated strip of road up in the Appalachian Mountains where folks claim the spirit of a lady in white has been hitchhiking with coal drivers for almost a century. The tale isn’t that much different than others seen in ghost stories all over the world, but here on 22 Mine Road, folks know exactly who the specter is– a woman named Mamie Thruman, who was murdered and left here in the mountains almost a century ago. Tragically, while a man was convicted of the crime, most believe her killer got away.
