Washington County's Haunted
Spring
|
|
On Frederick Will's 1800's map of Washington County (above left) it lists a "HAUNTED SPRING". On a 1900's map (above right) the spring on the south side of Hwy. 8 west. |
From Blanche & Charles Owens: I was raised out on hwy 8 west and there was a spring about a 1/4 of a mile from where I lived. They said this spring was haunted. The story was there was a woman that was drowned at the spring. Sometime when there was a storm people said you could see a woman in a white dress at the spring. That is the story I remember being told. |
