History & local legend
Two late-1990s driving encounters added to the ghost stories around Lansdowne Avenue. In September 1998, a paranormal investigator saw a woman near the center line at Baily Road, wearing acid-washed jeans and white high-top shoes, with her arms folded across her stomach. It was about 10:45 p.m. The investigator had spent earlier nights looking for the girl in a local bicycle-ghost legend, but described this encounter separately.
In October 1999, R. Foley was moving house when a woman appeared in Providence Road just after Foley turned from Lansdowne Avenue. Foley braked hard enough to send the packed boxes sliding. After stopping and walking back to look up and down the hill, Foley could find no trace of the woman.
