The Duke’s House
Built in the 1920′s for a wealthy tobacco executive, this house was once the site of extremely lavish parties. People would get very drunk and then drive home. One night in 1927, it is said that a car carrying three young women and their driver ran off the Ashe Bridge, crashing onto the train tracks below. The three women and their driver died instantly-the latter being decapitated. It is said that the three women can still be seen on the “Duke’s” front porch, waiting for him to answer the door. The driver is said to still wander the tracks in search of his head.

Wait, so why do the girls wait at the door if they died in the car with the driver? Why would the ghost get split up. I believe this story, but something is definitely odd.

If y’all mean Ashe Avenue bridge (which runs over train tracks), I’ve been painting out there for years and years – never seen anything more fishy than some especially creepy crackheads. I live right near there, now, even.

Keep seeing stories about this online, but the truth is, if you look for an address for this in Raleigh, NC, you will find nothing, so I think it’s all a legend with no basis.

I used to live on Bickett Blvd close to Whitaker Mill, and we had a ghost in the house. TV used to turn itself on at night, and we frequently a small child running down the hall when we were in bed.
