Edna Collings Covered Bridge
Posted June 21, 2009, by Cherae Pierce (cheraelovesyou [at] yahoo [dot] com)

a few friends that i lived with awhile back and i went to the bridge to find out more about it. at first i have never believed in ghosts or spirits but when we went to this bridge and parked in the middle of it, turned off the car and honked three times, my friends and i started to hear noises. noises that we could not even make out, and as i was sitting in the back of the vehicle to the right side of the car, i felt something cold touch my arm. it creeped me out so bad that we all had to leave. my friend on the left side in the back felt that edna was with us the whole time. there were finger prints and hand prints on the back of the car when we went home. my friends thought it was just theirs from touching it earlier that day, but it still lies a mystery to me because i know not all those hand prints came from them..

my friends and i went there two nights in a row. the first night, we didnt park the car on the bridge, but we did stop infront of it and honked. nothing happend. then we got out and stood inside the bridge, very silent and we heard crying and moaning. we tried to record some stuff, but didnt get anything. sad, isnt it? the next we went with one more friend added to the car and this time we parked inside the bridge, turned the car and lights off, honked three times and waiting. after about a couple minutes, we heard thumping noises like someone was hitting the car and then we heard foot steps like something was walking around us. felt like we were moving, but the car was in park. we decided that was enough and left. then one of my friends said they felt cold air and something holding her pinking. we stopped at a gas station and we looked at her arm and there were marks like someone dug their nails into her skin. we did record while we were there and we actually got something. it turns out that she will leave the bridge and stay with you and then later on, go back to the bridge. my friend asked, 'are you going to follow me home?' and we heard two voices. a male and a little girls voice, both saying yes. we knew the little girls voice had to be edna, but the male voice is what creeps us out the most. i truely believe that the bridge is haunted. but im wanting to know where that male voice came from. and i want to know if anyone knows anything about edna collins. like the date of her death, where her grave is, and stuff like that. if anyone knows, email me.

Me and 4 friens went to this bridge we thought people were jus kiddin about how it is haunted. We went there and we did the honkng and sat there for a minute when the locks started going up and down so we went a little outside of it and rolled down the windows and we heard eaither a faint scream or a laugh that is when we darted out of this bridge so if someone says its not haunted it is

The last name has recently been corrected for this bridge and should be Collings.
