History & local legend
Mudlick Hollow Road in Brighton Township, Beaver County, is the setting for a legend about newlyweds who never reached home after their wedding. The couple were traveling by horse-drawn buggy when a small animal darted from the woods and startled the horses.
In the story, the buggy left the road and overturned in the creek. The bride broke her neck. The groom was trapped beneath one of the horses and died beside her.
People later described hearing the journey repeat on dark nights. Fog spreads low across the road, followed by the sound of a carriage approaching from behind. Before the horses and buggy reach the listener, a crash and a scream break the quiet. Then the sounds stop and the fog lifts, leaving the road empty.
