The Ada Witch

Forbidden love, a jealous husband, and a fight to the death.

This tale is mostly considered an urban legend and supposedly dates back to the 19th century.

The story goes that Sarah McMillan was in love, but not with her husband.

Sarah allegedly sneaked away for a secret rendezvous with her lover in the woods around Seekman Park.

But like all secrets, this one eventually came to an end.

When Sarah's husband discovered the affair, he was consumed by rage.

According to the legend, he took Sarah's life before confronting her lover.

What happened next became the stuff of local legend.

Two men engaged in a brutal fight that would ultimately leave both of them dead.

It's said that Sarah's spirit appears as a luminous figure wearing a long white dress in Finley Cemetery, as well as in the woods by Seidman Park where she and her lover were discovered.

Some say they've even seen her wandering along conservation near the site of her tragic death.

So if you're driving past the area at night, check your rearview mirror.

Visitors to the area also report hearing the sound of a fight breaking out in the woods, someone or something tapping them on the shoulder, and an unmistakable feeling that you're not alone.

But here's where history and legend collide.

Historical records reportedly list Sarah McMillan's cause of death as typhoid fever.

So what really happened to Sarah? Was the official cause of death simply the truth? Or could it have been a convenient way to hide a scandalous affair? Was there really a deadly confrontation in the woods? Is the fight still being replayed more than a century later? And perhaps the biggest question of all, who or what is the spirit we know today as the Ada Witch? Road trippers, let's go find out.
