Skyway Lady
With Halloween upon us, our minds begin to wander back to spooky tales we have heard or creepy encounters we have had. For many in the Florida Tampa Bay Area, Halloween stirs up the stories that tell the tale of a young blonde women who was seen repeatedly, on the original Skyway bridge either in the middle of it as if she was about to jump or she would be hitchhiking from one side of the bridge to the other.
The stories of this young woman date back to the 1960’s and generally involved people just passing through town who were not familiar with the tales of the young ghost. This spectacular bridge has always been a popular spot for those wishing to end their life so many believe that she was one of the many that succeeded in jumping off the bridge.
The tales of this ghostly angel place her either wearing an outfit with a tight t-shirt or a white cotton dress. Some say they would spot this ghostly figure in the middle of the bridge as if she were getting ready to jump but what really makes peoples skin crawl are the tales of her hitchhiking at the one end of the bridge as people have actually stopped and gave her a ride.
On many occasions, people would stop and offer her a ride. They say she was very upset and nervous when she would get in the vehicle as if she was very scared of something. She would actually carry on complete conversations with the people who would pick her up. She would tell them about the urgency of her need to get to the other side of the bridge but as they got closer to the middle of the bridge, she would become very agitated. It was then that most of the motorists would turn to her to try to comfort her only to find that she vanished into thin air.
Is this where she jumped? Did someone kill her there? No one will ever know for sure why the woman haunted the Skyway Bridge in Florida. She hasn’t been seen since 1980 when the original bridge was replaced due to a horrifying accident. Some say that she is still stuck on the old bridge that is now basically a “ghost” bridge but no one will ever know.
There are many ghost stories that come out when Halloween rolls around but for the most part, those stories involve ghost sightings, where as this tale actually involves physical contact with a ghostly presence. Was she running from something or to something? There are people that believe in ghosts and then there are those who think the ghost stories are just stories. Try telling that to those who gave a ride to the Skyway Lady.
