The grey lady at the crossroads

[Honeystreet_Haunts]

New one for the walk, had it off a chap in the pub so the usual pinch of salt. The crossroads out past the old chalk pit, a woman in grey standing like she is waiting for a lift that never comes, gone when you glance back. Classic stuff, the crossroads, the waiting woman, you get a version every county. But he swore blind, and he is not a fanciful man. Anyone local got a version of it?

Crossroads were where suicides and the unbaptised were buried, outside consecrated ground, so the folklore clings to them thick. A grey lady at a crossroads is very nearly its own genre. Which is not to say your chap saw nothing. Only that he saw it through a very old lens that was waiting there for him.
