Hello everyone and welcome back to Most Amazing Top 10.
My name is Danny Burke and todays video is the Top 10 Scary Haunted Bridges.
It seems like everything can be haunted.
Theres the obvious ones like dolls or rooms - but even bridges have gained reputations
for their links to the paranormal.
Would you dare cross any of these?
Lets find out as we get into our number 10 and we have the Coleville Covered Bridge.
In Bourbon County Kentucky lies the Coleville Covered Bridge.
It took decades for it to be built before being opened to traffic in 2001.
In the years since then, the bridge as earned a reputation as perhaps the most haunted in
the whole of Kentucky.
According to legend - during the 1930s, there were two teenagers driving home from their
school prom.
They lose control of the car while on the bridge and plunged into the creek below, killing
them.
Locals say that on a clear night, you can still see the cars headlights shining back
from the water below … Moving on to number 9 we have the Airtight
Bridge.
The story around this Illinois bridge goes back to 1980 when the local sheriffs department
discovered the dead body of an unidentified woman floating in the river under the bridge.
Her hands had been removed and there was no way to identify the victim until technology
improved in 1992.
They identified her as 26 year old Diana Marie Riordan-Small.
Despite this, the case was cold and they were unable to find her killer.
Those who are interested in the story have visited the bridge and report a strange sense
of stillness in the air.
Thats how it got its name as Airtight Bridge.
At number 8 now we have Old Finch Road.
This bridge in Toronto has a whole bunch of urban legends surrounding it.
Its said that a girl was brutally murdered on the bridge on her birthday.
If you go there and sing happy birthday near the bridge on the girls birthday, youll hear
her screaming in the distance.
If youre lucky, or perhaps unlucky, she may even make an appearance.
Coming in at number 7 now we have the Donkey Lady.
This bridge in San Antonio Texas has a strange story attached to it - the tale of the Donkey
Lady.
According to locals, in the 1950s, a young woman was horribly disfigured by a fire.
Her fingers had fused together, creating stumps that looked like hooves.
She eventually lost her mind and ran away into the creek where she disappeared forever.
Locals say that she never really went though.
Its believed that if you park in the middle of the bridge at night and turn your lights
off, the Donkey Lady will appear … Next up at number 6 we have Dunvegan Bridge.
This bridge in Alberta Canada was completed in 1960 and strange occurrences began not
long after.
That winter, two men were driving through the valley on a dark, snowy night.
When they reached the middle of the bridge, they saw a woman standing in the snow.
They asked if she was OK but got no response.
When they looked back later, she had disappeared.
Determined to see her again, the two returned on several more nights and brought friends.
They saw her again picking berries on a hill near the bridge and decided she must be a
ghost.
Although many doubted them, visitors to the bridge swear they see her even to this day.
Who she is or why she is there is still being debated …
Moving on to number 5 we have the Overtoun Bridge.
This bridge is in West Dunbartonshire Scotland.
It was completed in 1895.
Things seemed normal for quite a while but then in the 1950s - something very strange
started happening.
At least once a year, random dogs will jump off the side of the bridge, often to their
deaths.
Some say this is evidence of the paranormal.
All thats been determined is that the dogs mostly jump from the same side of the bridge,
in clear weather and often have long snouts.
Next up at number 4 we have the Old Alton Bridge.
This bridge in Northern Texas was built in 1884.
To the locals though, its always been referred to as Goatmans Bridge as its believed that
a demonic goat man lives under the bridge.
They say that if you cross the bridge at night without headlights, the goatman will be waiting
for you on the other side.
Visitors have reported being touched, grabbed and even having rocks thrown at them.
At number 3 now we have Jackson Ford Bridge.
This bridge in Alabama is known to many of the students who attend the nearby university.
Over the years, its earned the simple nickname of -Ghost Bridge-.
It was closed in 1996 and has since fallen into a state of disrepair.
Stories say that slaves were hung there centuries ago and that their spirits now haunt the bridge.
Students have told tales that involve car, boating and biking accidents.
It gets even more disturbing with other stories of murder, child abuse and even UFO abductions
… Next up at number 2 we have Hells Bridge.
This bridge can be found in deep in the forests of Michigan.
Legend says that in the mid 19th century, an old man called Elias Friske went on a murderous
rampage killing several children.
Before his execution - he blamed it all on the demons that made him do it.
Visitors say those demons still haunt the bridge.
They say theyve heard children both laughing and screaming - and even their footsteps getting
louder from behind them … And finally at number 1 we have the Haunted
Peckforton Bridge.
This bridge in Cheshire England was built in the 1950s and built up quite the reputation
over the years.
This is mainly due to the nearby Peckforton Castle which some say is one of the most haunted
in the country.
Its said that if you walk under the bridge and night keep your eyes straight ahead, the
ghost of one of the castles former servants will appear.
Whats even more creepy is the belief that anyone who sees this ghost will be dead within
a year - maybe not once to visit then.
