One version of this haunted road in Mississippi tells of a young girl, who was kidnapped, dismembered, and her body parts thrown into the woods that lined the road. According to legend, the girl’s mother went searching for her daughter but was only able to find one of her legs. Completely distraught, the mother carried the leg up and down the road looking for her daughter.

Some also believe that the hauntings can be traced back to an old church that was once located on Nash Road. It has been said that when the church was no longer in use, a satanic cult began using it for human sacrifices.
According to several witnesses, motorists who stopped at the church would turn off their headlights and honk their horns three times to entice the three-legged lady to make an appearance. First, she’d knock on the roof of the car and then race the driver to the end of the road, hitting the car with her body the entire time.

Although the church has since been torn down, locals still report spotting the three-legged lady, with most paranormal activity taking place between 2661- 4548 Nash Road.
