The Lady in Black, NSW

-

Hidden amid the winding roads of the Blue Mountains is the mystery of the Lady in Black. Since the mid-19th century, travellers have reported their horses becoming skittish as they approach the Victoria Pass with the figure of a young woman appearing in front of them, sometimes headless! The ghost-like figure is believed to be 13-year-old Caroline

Collits, whose body was found beside the road in 1842. There are reports the small village is possessed by Caroline’s curse, with her gloomy figure spotted clutching the back of cars as they drive through.
