everyone on this page does need to grow up a bit.

i recently visited this bridge, it is not new, it was built in 1908. 4 people have dies, a young man jumped off the bridge one night after an enochs party, which always involves alcohol. a young boy fell off the bridge a VERY long time ago when the bridge was still ver unstable, the hole in which he fell through can still be seen, although there have been many attempts to cover it up. recently in 2005, a man was killed at the bridge by a few teenagers. the teens were visiting the bridge, the man was supposedly making meth somewhere near the bridge, the teens saw him and what he was doing, he gave them a hard time, possibly threating them, so, they killed him, they left him under the bridge for a few days, then came back and burned him under a car.

if you go here late at night many odd things will happen, dogs barking, although no dogs live any where near by, they start very far away and in a matter of seconds are surrounding you from all directions, no dogs can be seen unless "demondog" is chanted three times.

This bridge is fucking haunted!! My friends and I went down there around midnight and we saw a fucking ghost! IT was a man standing at the far end of the bridge clear as day! He was staring straight at us, and then he started walking toward us and we all freaked and ran for our lives! Whatever you do don't go alone and turn your car around BEFORE you go on the bridge! That way you can escape faster!!
