13 Curves on Onondaga Hill

The Story

Cedarvale Road’s best-known apparition is the Bloody Bride, a woman in a wedding dress reportedly seen beside the winding roadway. The Lineup recounts rival versions: newlyweds died in a wreck, or the bride survived and later returned as a ghost to search for her husband. Other versions replace the car with a horse-drawn buggy.
