History & local legend
A family drive along Dog Kennel Road near Media became a personal ghost story for writer Jack Mc. He had been telling his children about the road’s legend of a girl appearing on a bridge at midnight, and the family decided to look as they drove home one October evening.
The first crossing was uneventful. At the second, he briefly switched off the headlights until his teenage daughter asked him to turn them back on. Near the final small crossing before Paxon Hollow Road, they encountered a compact patch of white mist, about three feet high and wide, drifting across their path. There was no surrounding fog.
They drove through it, turned around and returned. The same small cloud appeared in the same place, then moved out of the roadway before they reached it. What troubled the driver afterward was that it had remained intact despite the car passing through it. He published the account in October 2009.
