THE STORY
Reported Haunting
White Wolf Road near Kings Mountain is tied to legends of a woman in white and phantom vehicle lights connected to two violent stories preserved in Upstate South Carolina ghost lore.
White Wolf Road and the area known in folklore as White Wolf Hollow lie near Kings Mountain State and National Parks. One local legend describes the killing of a man and woman, after which a woman in a white dress is said to appear along the road. A second story tells of a man shot near his truck in the 1960s and the vehicle being burned; later drivers allegedly see phantom headlights or a ghostly vehicle traveling the road. Other versions of White Wolf Hollow folklore include strange lights and unusual creatures, so details vary by storyteller. The marker is placed at a published White Wolf Road haunted-location point and should be treated as a road-lore marker rather than the verified site of any documented crime.
