THE STORY
Reported Haunting
The dangerous curve known as the Devil's Elbow is haunted in local legend by the White Lady of Wopsy. She is said to wander the road carrying a light, search for loved ones lost in a carriage accident, or accept rides before vanishing near the curve.
The Devil’s Elbow is a dangerous curve along Wopsy Road that has a story about a ghostly white lady. Legend has it that she was a new bride on her honeymoon at the Wopsononock Hotel, which burned down long ago. As their carriage rounded the Devil’s Elbow, there was an accident and both were killed. The ghostly bride is seen along the road with a candle, looking for her husband, whose body was never recovered from the wreckage. Some stories say she is a hitchhiker ghost or that she stops young men to see if they are her husband. She disappears from cars at the Devil’s Elbow.
