GHOST STORY: THE WHITE ROAD

IN 1981 JACK JONES A FORMER AIR FORCE PILOT WAS FLYING HOME WHEN HIS PLANE VANISHED OVER THE BLACK MOUNTAINS.

AFTER AN ENDLESS SEARCH THERE WERE NO SIGNS OF THE PLANE AND THE SEARCH WAS CALLED OFF. THIS NEWS DIDN’T SIT WELL WITH HIS 17 YEAR OLD SON, BILL, WHO WENT LOOKING FOR HIS DAD IN THE BLACK  MOUNTAINS.  HE STOPPED HIS CAR ON THE
SIDE OF THE ROAD WHEN HE SPOTTED A LONG WHITE ROAD THAT CUT THROUGH THE MOUNTAIN BUT NO OTHER ROAD LEADING TO THE WHITE ROAD.  SO HE PUT HIS BACKPACK ON AND STARTED HIKING TOWARDS THE WHITE ROAD.  AFTER A 7 HOUR HIKE
HE CAME UPON THE WHITE ROAD AND STARTED FOLLOWING IT.

AS IT GOT DARK, HE SET DOWN HIS BACKPACK,  STEPPED BACK AND FELL INTO A HOLE.  THERE HE FOUND HIS DAD.   DEAD.  AND 2 OTHER SKELLETONS.  BILL WAS TIRED AND ALL HIS FOOD AND WATER WAS IN HIS BACK PACK.  HE TURNED HIS DAD'S FLASHLIGHT ON AND FOUND CARVED ON THE WALL THE NEXT STEP FOR MAN KIND AND 3 NOTCHES CUT IN THE ROCK JUST BIG ENOUGH FOR HIS TWO BIG TOES.  BUT HE COULD NOT REACH THE TOP.  SO HE STARTED CARVING THE NEXT STEP.

WHEN HE HAD COMPLETED HIS TASK HE WAS TOO WEAK TO TRY AND CLIMB OUT.  SO HE LEANED OVER AND GRABBED PART OF HIS DAD'S DECAYING ARM AND ATE IT TO GIVE HIM THE STRENGHT TO CLIMB OUT.  HE MARKED THE SPOT AND WENT FOR HELP.  BUT WHEN HE RETURNED WITH THE POLICE THE WHITE ROAD WAS NEVER FOUND, AND REMAINS UNKNOWN.  JACK'S SON KEEPS LOOKING FOR THE WHITE ROAD STILL TODAY.
