Description

Wildcat Harley Davidson and London Laurel County Tourism welcomes Ghost Biker Exploration to London, Kentucky. Lead investigator Miranda Young began investigating with a team in 2013 and continued with them until 2018. Her role on the team consisted of photo analyst, video/audio evidence producer and marketing specialist, as well as investigator. While fully involved with the team, she found that in her spare time, she was traveling and exploring a great deal on her own. She would often take photos of these locations and share them on her Facebook page. These photos started to get a lot of attention and people began messaging her and asking what the stories were behind these images. This is how Ghost Biker Explorations was born. Because Miranda is out on her bike taking photos every chance she gets and doing little investigations, she thought why not chronicle these adventures through video? Miranda loves investigating the big locations, but through this project, she discovered that every little town has a ghost story that the citizens have heard all their lives, or an abandoned location that they drive by every day. Her goal is to visit these towns, spotlight the areas, tell the story and either investigate the location or explore it. Miranda will explore the history of Laurel County and Levi Jackson Wilderness Road Park. At this location one of the few remaining actual segments of Boone Trace can be walked by a traveler. This portion of Boone Trace is located on the west side of the park and is indicated by a 1942 Laurel County stone marker on the southern end, and a Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) marker, placed in 1915, on the northern end. In addition, located in the park is the site of the McNitt Defeat, one of the most tragic events ever to occur along Boone Trace. In 1786, twenty-four members of the McNitt family were attacked by Native Americans and killed. Legend says that a pregnant pioneer managed to escape the attack, crawled into the hollow of a tree, delivered her baby, and survived. Today, the tree site is identified, and a cemetery marks the location where members of the family were buried. We will in investigating the Mountain Life Museum, a restoration of an 1800s village, including log manor house, smokehouse, barn, shop and church. Native American artifacts, frontier guns, cooking utensils, a spinning wheel and other pioneer domestic items are displayed. All proceeds will benefit the Laurel County Shop with a Cop. For ages 16 years and older.
