She refused a lift home from a party in Hays, Kansas and said she would walk. She was hit crossing the highway. Two boys on the closed bike trail saw her.

A young woman went to a party at Swinging Bridge Park in Hays, Kansas. She had been drinking and wanted to go home. Her boyfriend offered to drive her. She refused and said she would walk.

She was struck by a car crossing the highway and killed.

The account that keeps the site on record comes from two boys cycling the old bike trail, which is now closed. Riding through tall grass on their first pass, they caught sight of a pale girl walking in the grass directly in front of them.

One of them said something. What they did on the second pass is where the account continues.

The story is told locally as a warning about walking home along that highway, and it works as one whether or not anything is out there. The road is unlit, the verge is grass, and the crossing is exactly where she was hit.

The bike trail has since been shut, which has done nothing to reduce the number of people who ride it.
