We all love a good tale and so last week there was a story about a ghost walking alongside Barham Road.

The story was that a man was travelling from Deniliquin on his way to Victoria when he spotted the woman walking alongside Barham Road and he wrote of his terror of seeing such a sight and included a picture.

The story quickly got attention and made the social media rounds as it was quite a compelling (or humorous) tale and such a ghostly sight would cause most people a fright on a quiet road at night.

Fortunately or unfortunately the story was debunked after a couple of days as it is one of those stories that gets told across the internet with only the names of the places changed.

The tale was fun while it lasted but there is no doubt it will come up again in the near future ready for a new audience to appreciate and eventually laugh about.
