Niles Canyon's haunted bride

a lot of attractions and frightening things you can go do to frighten yourself, or to just get into the Halloween spirit. There is supposedly a haunted spot near the city of Hayward.

In Niles Canyon, Fremont, rumor has it that there is a lost soul of a bride who never made it to her wedding in San Francisco. Trying to investigate this rumor was hard, since it happened a while ago, and there are in fact different versions.

Her nicknames are the White Witch and the Niles Canyon Ghost. It's a story that has been told over and over from generation to generation and everyone has his or her own rendition of the horrid events that took place that day.

Some say the young girl never made it to her wedding in 1920 while others say it happened in 1940. This is the East Bay's own ghost story but there are so many mysteries that are still not solved about this particular event.

While traveling through Sunol at the intersection of Scott's Corner (which is now where highway 84 meets Highway 680), a young beautiful bride was on her way to her wedding in a horse drawn carriage. The horses, suddenly spooked, caused the bride to be thrown from the vehicle and killed instantly.

This is where the story gets confusing because supposedly, when the young girl was thrown off the carriage, two cars came toward her (keep in mind this is when cars were first popular), and the second car that struck her, ultimately killed her.

The young girl's white ghostly figure appears near a train trestle on Niles Canyon Road every year on Feb. 26, which is still Highway 84 but several miles from Scott's corner. They say the woman wearing a beautiful, but dirty white wedding dress is wandering by the side of the road looking for a ride.

There are many accounts of hearing her high-pitched scream on Friday the 13th or February 26, trying to get a ride in your car if you're a young male. She'll try to convince you she needs a ride to her wedding in San Francisco, and then in thin air, vanishes in the middle of the Dumbarton Bridge.
