Pilliga Princess

The Story on The Pilliga Princess.

In North-Western NSW, there is a huge section of dense scrub known as the Pilliga. There are stories of many strange occurrences and even talk of Yowies (I’ll do a story later on The Pilliga Yowie), but one phenomenon has been reportedly sighted many times. Many truckers and other travellers report seeing an apparition of an old woman walking along the road pushing a trolley of bags. She is said to wear a red fishing hat, pulled down to eye level, and a World War I army coat. She is known as the Pilliga Princess. She is said to have a mop of wild white hair, and even glowing eyes, according to some reports. She is even said to have been seen wandering around nearby truck stops. One night in 1993 the Pilliga Princess was hit and killed by a truck. The trucker who hit her said she was wandering across the road and hadn’t seen her until it was too late.  One report claims that she walked in front of the truck, looked the driver in the eye and ran towards him laughing. Another account says she was trying to catch a lift with a truck going the opposite direction. To this day, truckers and travellers swear they continue to see her walking her trolley at night along the Newell Highway. 

Now I'm not too sure if it's real but as I used to live near there it was always a little scary, i have still to this day never been to Pilliga but i would like to know if its real or a hoax?. Do you believe in the Pilliga Princess? Is there any audience of her beinhg real, what are your thought on this story.
