You know, I lived in that town for twenty-five years and attended college right off of Millpond Road. This is the first I`ve heard of this tale. The lack of detail combined with the similarities to urban legends from all over the U.S. lead me to believe that this is a bogus haunting.

Millpond isn`t old enough to have had slaves...the main house only dates from 1903.

I went to school at TCCHS and we would always try and scare the freshmen with that story....but it was told to us that if you parked your vehicle in front of the second bridge, turned lights off and wait a few minutes that you could see the old black slave hanging from the bridge from where he was lynched....we would stop there all the time and scare freshmen but we never saw anything, but we wouldnt stay that long either cause the freshmen would be too scared...

I've been there and it is creepy but I haven't seen or heard anything. As for whether or not Millpond Plantation is old enough to have had slaves, I don't know. The bridge in question looks to be very old though.

well, I have seen something there. I always thought that it was the second one coming from thomasville, which is the first one coming from metcalfe, but I saw something on the first one coming from thomasville. I was comging from metcalfe and saw it on the right side of the bridge, I cant really explain it cause I just drove right under it really fast cause I was scared. but that was all. I havent seen it but one time though, and I have been there many times.

millpond plantation was built in 1906 by Jeptha Wade II from Cleveland, the grandson of Jeptha Wade, a founder of Western Union. This is almost two decades after the civil war, so although there may be a ghost out there, the story about the slave, slave's daughter, plantation owner and son has not basis in fact... Maybe it's time to come up with a more plausible story.

I have lived in Thomasville my whole life and those dirt rds are rode by many. Its kinda a tradition to go ride the dirt rds at night I have done it for year. We have never seen anything and we have even played in the woods there at night. Its a legend there is nothing there and just to update yall the bridges just got rebuilt they are brand new now.

I went to THomas University during the late 1990's and would be leaving there late at night to drive back to Whigham. I remember coming out of classes and walking toward the little green houselike buildings where I parked(near the older tow story building on campus) and I would hear men talking when I was the only one out there... I would get scared and run to my car and leave. maybe just residual hauntings, but I have never seen full body apparitions or anything on campus. I went to TU for 2 years.

There might be a ghost, but that story is not true! The comment about Jeptha Wade is the truth. And it was WAY after slavery that the family built the house!

There could of been a different plantation there during the time of slavery. That story could of been true, but the place had a different name. I'm sure most of what is now Thomasville, was plantations during the first part of the 1800s.

me my family and some friends went there early this morning after yet another unsucessful attempt to find ghosts we were yet again disapointed. we spent almost an hour there waiting to hear something. all we saw was the destruction and spray paint done to the bricks and some old man running down the road in a speedo. (yes he was wearing a speedo) (no he was not a ghost) and yes the bridges have been rebuilt and look amazing

Thomasville's history has been pretty well preserved concerning it's plantations. You want to know if its possible that the slave's story even happened, call the Historical society and ask when Millpond was originally built and what was there before 1906.

As slavery was abolished in the Civil War, any narrative involving slaves and owners after the 1860's is fiction.

I went to Thomas College (now thomas university) from 1997 to 2000 and can verify that I had the same experiences as the person who parked out by the little old green house classroom buildings. I would hear men talking and would feel cold spots out there at night. Needless to say, I RAN to get into my car and get the heck out of there. One night this fall, I want to make a trip up there with some friends to do some emf and digital voice recorder work... Will keep ya'll posted...

I lived in Thomasville for 22 years. I have heard the story and driven down Millpond Rd. more times than I can count. I also understand that slavery was abolished before Millpond Plantation itself was brought into existence. The thing is is that just because slavery was not legal doesn't mean that it didn't exist. There is some form of slavery still going on today, whether or not you may want to believe it. People working for next to nothing and living in "worker's quarters" on the land... Sorry, I've seen it first hand in south Ga. and north Fla. Anyway, back to Millpond... Some buddies and I decided to take a video camera down there with us one night, really late. We came from Pinetree Blvd, right at TU and began recording at the beginning of Millpond, the paved part. We recorded for over an hour  driving around that area... All the way down to New Hope Rd. and around. Not very interesting... What was interesting, to me, was that when we went to watch it, as soon as we drove onto the dirt part of Millpond Rd. the video immediately went to static. Not saying that this proves anything, just strange, considering that generally if nothing is recorded onto a tape, the video goes blank (blue or black).

And if anyone feels like there's nothing out there...go there around 1:30-2:00 in the morning and stay there for a while, a 15 minute stint does not suffice. Then come back and say that there's absolutely nothing creepy about that place.

As far as the bridges being new, THAT SUCKS!!! In my opinion, they were landmarks, and should have not been torn down.... Shame on you Tommy!

It would make sense that the story is true but may not necessarelly have been called millpond plantation back when it happend. could have been just some random plantation and then someone baught it and named it that... anyways ive been studying about ghost and spirits and i plan to go out there with some audio and video equiptment. i hope to find some type of evedince.

Just the other day, My friends went out to MIlpond road and did the usual stop under the bridge..wait and turn around..they didnt hear nothing or see nothing but when they reached another destination with lighting they noticed Giant hand prints of the same color as the road on the back of the truck.. I'm thinking something may not happen everytime or if something does you may not notice it right there and then?

last weekend me and a couple of friends went down there and we stopped right in front of the second bridge we turned off the car and waited for 5/6 min.... it was like midnight, so we turn back on the car and we didn't see anything, so we turned back around and started driving, whenever we got into light one of the girls was like waoh look at those hand prints in the back of the car, they looked fresh like someones sweaty palms have just touched it, so we pulled into walmart and my friend gets out of the car and she runs to the passenger side of the car and she was like OMFG the handprints were in dirt OFF OF THE ROAD and there was about 5/6 handprints, we were soooooo freaked out, so we went again at like midnight and nothing happened, but i promise you that did happen to us!!!! it was so spooky! but i'm a firm believer of the supernatural, and just about like everyone that we told just looked at us like we were ruhtards but i'm telling you that did happen and we are not joking!!! it was so freaky!! but i want to go back which i will soon and hopefully something happens !!!!!!

I spent the night at the plantation when attending a class of 65 Tville reunion as my wife at that time was cousin to the caretaker.  We toured the place from one end to the other, day and night, and never heard or observed any paranormal activity.  The big Arabian horses were fun.  We fed them some sugar for the first time in their life and those big animals were following us like puppies.  The overseer never mentioned anything about the events in this thread and he as there for 20 years.  IDK.

I lived across the street from Millpond Plantation all my life - over 45 years. The TRUE story that did happen was told to me by my mom and dad. She is still alive, so I'll have to ask about the names of the people, but what you're about to read is the real deal.  In the 1920s all the way through until the 1970s, Millpond was a working subsistence farm - which meant all the workers of the farm not only got paid, but also got to live on the plantation for free and have their homes provided to them as part of their work contract.(This happens in almost all of the real working plantations even after the Emancipation Proclamation. I worked on one in the 1980s so i know for a fact.) Anyway, the story about Millpond has to do with a robbery of the foreman when he returned home to the plantation with payroll for the workers. He was killed, the payroll was taken and there were lots of accusations of an inside job. Two of the workers on the plantation were charged and when the police arrived to arrest one of the two men, he fled into the woods of the plantation. The workers started searching and quickly grew into a mob. They found him late that night, and lynched him on the second bridge. The other man was arrested and sent to jail. That's the story, and I'm sticking to it. I'll find out more details and re-post them. But, that's the guy that haunts that bridge.
