We camped out within 100 yards of the creek near the bridge for 3-4 nights when we were deer hunting. I grew up in Stephenville and knew of the story, but I did not know of the location. It was not till a few years later when I saw a story in the newspaper about McDows Hole that had a picture of the bridge and the creek. We heard nothing or seen anything out of the ordinary, but I would not camp out there again, now that I know the truth.

Locate County Road 520 and go north. When you get to the railroad tracks, you are literally there. From the location of the road/tracks, look east about 150 yards through the trees. you should see McDow Hole. if you back up on the road about 30-40 yards, there is an opening in the fence that you can drive through to a group of trees, the rest of the way you have to walk. Be careful, people who live around the area might call the police.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07794325417628750954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8776440976529170398.post-14691695052130867202019-11-11T00:33:26.439-08:002019-11-11T00:33:26.439-08:00Its hard to give a exact location on a spot that i...Its hard to give a exact location on a spot that id kinda in the middle of no place.

I saw her quite clearly from about 50 feet away (with 2 others), so it's pretty much etched in my memory. I don't frighten easily...but it scared the living hell out of me, and still does to this day. <br />Until the internet came out, I had never heard the Papworth story, nor Jenny's name, nor for how long it had been seen.....I just knew several people from Stephenville who had been seeing the ghost of a woman in a creek bed their entire lives. In fact, I had a whole family tell me all about it beforehand, though I went into the situation (still) a bit skeptical. It's no huge secret to anyone down there (or at least not circa 1980), and I assure you...it IS quite real. <br />I'm actually surprised there aren't a thousand published accounts....but then again, I guess I'm really not. A few years ago I made the mistake of giving a very detailed, specific and literate account of my exact 'ordeal'' to a quite well-known author on the subject, only to later read that I had been misquoted and the account dramatically embellished, quite horribly, like a "C-movie" script. People...right?<br />Anyhow...that's my honest 2 cents. It's nice to see all these years later that a few people are still interested in the story.

I investigated ...Jenny Follows me everywhere i go. <br />I investigated her land for a week solid with a fine-toothed comb.<br />i gathered an entire hard drive's worth of EVP's, countless personal experiences and a few questionable photos. the voices on the violent EVPs were not that of a woman but something demonic or intimidating.<br />"get the F* out of here"<br />"what is this shit"<br />"i will hurt you"<br />"die you little shit"<br />were only some of the things said to me when i called out those responsible for Jenny's death.<br />a medium stopped me at the store, almost in tears and pleaded for me to talk to her. Being a paranormal investigator and true believer in the paranormal, i was obligated to listen.<br />"jenny papworth" she said to me...obviously i froze.<br />i had never met this woman and do to the fact that i was standing in Houston,TX i knew that this was about to get real.<br />" jenny wants me to tell you thank you for everything you did to help spread awareness of the injustice her family suffered."<br />my jaw hit the floor and my heart jumped into my throat.<br />" jenny wants you to know that she will always be with you and that she has become quite infatuated with you Joshua..."<br />understand that i never gave this woman my name...i was freaking out in the middle of a grocery store at this point.<br />"jenny will watch you grow, watch you grow old and even watch your children grow. rest assured she will be waiting for you on the other side and i assume you both will have a few things to talk about."<br />she went on explaining how there have been many cases of spirits actually falling in love with members of the living realm and that this has shaped up to be one of those cases. <br />The hair on the back of my neck was standing up, i had goosebumps and the chills struck me cold.<br />"i don't want you to be afraid and neither does Jenny instead embrace the fact that through your generous actions, jenny has found purpose and meaning to her time here on the planet after the departure of her living vessel."<br />Now, more than ever i see flowing cloth out of the corner of my eye. i smell flowers at random even when working around pungent odors and even get a sense of security when my day starts to go downhill. it is almost as if i was blind to it before or chalked it up as my imagination. now when i see it, i don't question it, i don't try to debunk it...i just know she is here and she is keeping her end of the promise. my end? you may ask...well that's why i am here. i take every opportunity i have to talk about her and tell people what happened to her.<br />i hope this information has been useful, understand that spirits are still as much human as you or I. Best results are yielded when you treat them as such, not as a tool for your amusement. <br /> Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07173027631452394961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8776440976529170398.post-16336128802243622242014-12-30T11:39:34.645-08:002014-12-30T11:39:34.645-08:00you all poke at something you dont understand.

How would you like it if every time you looked up, there were people standing on your front lawn trying to snap pictures or video.<br />the best way to get results? a whole mess of people. good, sincere people who can connect with her on an emotional level. Jenny isnt a circus act or a Zoo attraction...she is a human being who had a great injustice done to her.

Always wanted to stop and ask someone in town where the location was. Just wanted to check it out. I heard from my Grandmother, they routed the train around the area. the track used to run next to the cabin. the conductors would see a woman holding a baby while standing on the tracks. her scream was as loud as the train whistle. they would stop the train and search for the two for hours. when they figured it was their ghosts, they no longer wanted to run the train through there. My Grandmother told me she took my mom and her 3 sisters there one night and did witness a ghost hovering over a foggy creek bottom.
