Haunted Fun... during the DAYLIGHT!

There's a local ghost story that one of the wooden bridges in the Amish area is haunted. As the story goes, an Amish man and his family had a terrible accident in which their buggy went over the edge and they all perished. So, brave family that we are, we went ghost hunting... during the daytime! LOL The following is our photo shoot, sans Ben, as he does not have any desire to participate in anything ghostie.

Matt and Rick, terrified to be on a haunted bridge.

A haunted bridge that happens to be a gazillion feet in the air!!!

This is the edge of the bridge.  You are supposed to drive over the bridge, then make a U-turn so you are facing the way you came.  You are then to turn off your car and wait.  Exiting the vehicle is strictly up to you and your terrified passengers.  After 15 min. you should experience something ghostie-like. Oh, and it should be at night.

So this is us after we did the U-turn and we are about to cross over the bridge.

However, you might notice that there is a house right at the end of the bridge next to where we parked.

Also, I want you to notice the white PVC pipe that is fastened to the bottom of the bridge railing in the top right corner of the photo. More on that later.

So, now we have crossed the bridge and are facing the way we came. We got OUT of the car - it is light out yet. I'm very brave in the daylight!

To the left of this picture, to the left of the tracks there are a bunch of trees. Behind these trees is another household. We could clearly hear both households making noise while we were on the bridge.

Do you see the PVC pipe along the bottom of the railing?  We think the first house hooked up the PVC pipe with a low-voltage wiring. Perhaps speaker wire?  It is definately NOT county materials.  I think there is a speaker(s) under the bridge.

Another theory is that someone could be living or sleeping or partying under the bridge - notice the circular sitting area complete with empty beer cans.

 It didn't photograph very well, but there was a slightly used trail on this side of the bridge. It could be a deer trail though, but I think it's more of the 2-legged trail going to the empty beer cans.

They aren't scared anymore.

Us - it is really a very pretty bridge.

Us again.

Even a tiny birdie nest.
