Why it's Creepy
Whenever a strange person starts chasing your cars as you drive down a dark unfamiliar road, it's unsettling. When she bangs on your hood it's even worse. But when she has three legs -- and one seems to be a rotting limb she sewed to her body -- that's just the worst. But that's what generations of Mississippians have said about the stretch of Nash Road near Columbus where the Lady does her thing.
Where it Came From
From Robert Johnson selling his soul to the Yazoo Witch, many ghost stories in Mississippi persist, but the Three-Legged Lady gets points for changing to suit what scares you. Some say that extra leg was removed from a dead lover and attached to her body. Some believe she's the ghost of a mother who got lost searching for her dismembered daughter after all she could find was a severed leg. Some say she wants to race you across a nearby bridge. Either way, turn off your headlights on a stretch of the road and don't be surprised if you're forced to confront the specter yourself. -- AK
