WITCH\'S GRAVE IN AURORA, NE
Witch's GraveAt the intersection of Highway 14 and Highway 30 in Aurora, go north past the park and turn left on the gravel road next to the cemetery. Witch's grave is on the far northwest corner.
The Haunting:
Sometime in the 1800's a woman was accused of being a witch. This woman was, according to reports, burned at the stake OR she was hanged. We're not sure which of the reports (or maybe neither of them)is true.
This witch, apparently swore an oath to come back and haunt the townspeople. So the people of Aurora put up a large tombstone (to remind all of the dangers of witchcraft) and 4 iron bars at each corner of her grave along with chains strung between and across them.
Legend has it that the chains, strung from four iron posts (one at each corner) on the witch's grave kept breaking. The people of Aurora finally stopped trying to repair the chains.

Spring Ranch 3 miles East of Pauline NE
In 1885, two of Spring Ranch's townspeople, Tom Jones and his sister Elizabeth Taylor (widowed), were at odds with their neighbors. This was due to thier cattle getting into other neighbor's wheat and cornfields. This and a few other things had caused simmering tensions for quite some time. Most of their neighbors couldn't tollerate them anymore. Consequently, Tom and Elizabeth also started to not feel safe. So, they bought a shotgun. They were the only ones in town with a shotgun (others had rifles).
One day a wagon of a few men were down on the Little Blue River cutting timber. Elizabeth claimed the land was hers, and sent her hired ranch hands to chase them down. All of a sudden, someone heard a shot, and Elizabeth was seen running toward her house. One of the wagon drivers was dead, with half his head missing (obviously from a shotgun blast).
It would be many months before a judge would be by to conduct a trial, so the townspeople took justice into their own hands. They snuck into her house while she was away and took her shotgun. They came back later to get her and her brother, they wouldn't be able to shoot at them with no gun. They were captured and their hands were tied behind their backs. They were marched down toward the river, where hangman's nooses were hung from the bridge over the Little Blue River. They were put on horses on a sandbar in the river. The nooses were tightened around their necks, and a gun was fired to scare the horses. The horses took off and left Tom and Elizabeth hanging to die. Some say that the gun that was fired was Elizabeth's shotgun.
Elizabeth was the only woman to ever be lynched in Nebraska. There is still a bridge over the Little Blue River in this same spot (just south of the townsite). It's old, but probably not all original. The bridge is said to be haunted by their ghosts. On a eeirly silent night on the Nebraska prarie, it is said you can hear some of the events that palyed out on and under the bridge that fateful day in 1885. Also where her grave is it is said to be haunted.
