The Old Whitmire Highway in Newberry is rumored to be haunted by two spirits. People who have traveled down this stretch of road have reported seeing a bright light in the distance, thinking it is a possible wreck or even a stalled vehicle. As the motorists begin to slow, they see two figures near the light, standing on the road. One apparition is dressed in an old shirt and bib overalls, carrying a lantern, and the other transparent figure is a large brown dog beside him.
As people pass, the ghostly figures watch, it seems the surrounding landscape is turning.
The ghost story is mentioned in Legends And Lore of South Carolina.
