History & local legend

Short Cut Road is a rural link off Lower Piney Creek Road near Williamsburg in Blair County. Drivers told of a girl walking ahead of their vehicles who disappeared as they approached.

The explanation collected by the Pennsylvania Researchers Organization placed her death in the 1980s. In that story, a motorcyclist struck and killed her on the road, and later motorists encountered her figure along the same stretch.
