AVON

Haunted Bridge-This old railway trestle which spans White Lick Creek is said to be haunted by the ghost of one of the many irish workers who built the bridge. The story goes that while working on the bridge one day a wooden platform collapsed dumping the worker into the wet cement of the pylon they were building and he slowly sank into the pylon. Workers stated they could hear him pounding on the wooden sides of the pylon as he slowly drown it was said there was no way to save him. The construction was delayed only a few hours so the company could decide what to do but they decided that the pylon would not be torn down in order to find the body. Though protests from some superstisious workers arose the work quickly resumed. Shortly after the bridge was finished residents and railway workers reported hearing what sounded like a man screaming and pounding from inside the pylon when near the bridge. Since the bridge has been torn down people have reported seeing the aparition of a man wandering around and appearing to flag down oncoming trains.

Everytime he stayed in room 301 in the back of the hotel. Employees have reported smelling cigar smoke while cleaning the room.

Once you get over the bridge wait a moment and then turn around again, drive slowly but not too slowly and you will see a man on a horse with no head the further from the bridge you get the closer he seems to get, soon after he disappears. (if you ask me this is a lot of work just to see some headless guy)

In Our Opinion


DEVIL'S BRIDGE- We do believe it to be haunted based on the evidence we have collected and experiences we have had there. You have to be patient with this place the first few times we went we didn't think a lot but slowly it started to show itself to pretty intimidating sometimes.

Some experiences we have had would include at one point we told a friend not to go all the way back under the bridge and he wouldn't listen he went and he came running back saying something grabbed his leg and pulled him down it scared him pretty bad. Sam has been shoved down splitting her chin and knee open. We have had our cars shoved pretty hard while we are in them seemingly by nothing. apparitions, noises. We once stopped to take a picture of the memorial cross and when the flash cleared everyone in the car screamed at once because when christina pulled the camera down kneeling next to the cross was what looked like a girl she was naked and blue she had her arms crossed around her knees and her neck was just twisted at an unnatural angle and she was looking up at us it was terrifying and it wasn't one of those things where people were like look at that do you see that everyone saw it at the same time we all screamed at the same time and we made the driver punch it a few of us were crying it was one of the scariest thing I have ever seen in my life.

You do have to be careful here there are homeless people who wander around, reported gang activity, and reports of "satanist" activity. My advice go in a big group and check the area to see if anyone else is around just so you don't get any suprises.



PURPLE HEAD BRIDGE- Yes we do belive it to be haunted or at least have some activity but for the most part it is overrated. There are noises, drumming, what sound like war cries walking and all that, but never have we seen anyone hanging from the bridge and never NEVER have we actually seen the "purple head" floating in the water. We have seen hyperactive orbs in the area, which for us is hard to admit since we don't consider orbs to be such great evidence, but when you see them with the naked eye its different. There was an experience with a white wolf standing in the road and following the car that a couple people had, but as for apparitions thats about as much as we got. It is a scary place and does have a heaviness to the air a lot of people did die here but you have to remember to BE CAREFUL you are near the woods, there are wolves, coyotes, and now they are saying possibly cougars. ALSO standing on the bridge is ILLEGAL not to mention dangerous, you don't have to stand on it to have an experience and if you are caught you will be arrested.

OKIE PINOKIE We absolutely do feel this place to be haunted it is very scary. The first time we just drove in and drove around the little circle thing and that in itself was scary enough. The second and last time we went and will ever go we went with a large group of people we got out of the car and tried the whistling theory and from what we could figure it is true there were lots of strange noises and growling coming from all around. Sam was sitting in the car when all the door handles started moving up and down and the car started shaking and she heard voices inside the car while at the same time everyone outside the car was hearing voice nobody heard the exact same thing but it was close enough it was all along the lines of "you're mine now" or "you're not going anywhere" and things of that nature it was terrifying and we refuse to walk into that place none of the recordings came out it was all crazy noises and things and yea we refuse to go back we'll take people to the gate and wait for them but we will not go in WARNING:IF YOU DO NOT LIKE BEING SCARED OR YOU SCARE REALLY EASILY THIS ISN'T THE PLACE FOR YOU I DON'T SUGGEST USING OUIJA OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT OUT HERE ALSO THE DNR DOES PATROL OUT IN THIS AREA AND YOU WILL GET PULLED OVER IF THEY THINK YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING STUPID SO BE RESPECTFUL

POSEY CHAPEL- We do feel posey chapel to be haunted but not as much so as everyone says you do get a heavy scary feeling but then again you are in a graveyard in the middle of nowhere. The little girl that a few claim to see has made a few appearances once we even heard her singing amazing grace but sadly our audio did not pick that up. Once while Sam was walking towards the burnt out tree she heard footsteps behind her she turned around and saw nobody so she continued to walk then all of the sudden a twig snapped directly behind her she turned around again looked down and saw the footprints of a small child directly behind her it had just snowed about 2 ft and we were the first ones out there and the footprints ended right behind her we know sounds like stuff out of a bad scary movie but it happened. Another appearance of our friend the wolf. A bunch of us were on the hill looking down into the farmers backyard when we saw shadows moving everyone said hey whats that the shadows got closer and wouldn't you guess it wolves they charged everyone ran down the hill through the graveyard and to the car waiting for the wolves to come up over the hill well then we were like no way they would have caught us not even half way through the graveyard so we went back up looked no footprints anywhere not even where they were standing in the farmers yard we have no clue why this happened. We have heard the growling noise though also motorcycles and cars comming across all those back roads make almost the exact same noise and it does seem to come from the woods but we don't think the growling is the hound of hell or a demon actually we're pretty sure that its something living. I don't believe we've ever seen the priest or people hanging from trees no black cloaked figures like people claim they have seen we have heard drums once they sounded like native american the last time they sounded like a soldiers but nobody has ever been possessed or anything silly like that one time our friend got a bloody nose and a few times we've gotten dizzy and thats about it. THERE IS A HOME DIRECTLY BEHIND THE GRAVEYARD AND THE FARMER HAS BEEN KNOWN TO CHASE PEOPLE OUT OF THERE EVEN FOLLOWING THEIR CARS WITH HIS WHEN THEY LEAVE SOME PEOPLE EVEN SAY HE HAS A SHOTGUN WHICH JUST GOES TO SHOW YOU THAT THE LIVING ARE SCARIER THAN THE DEAD
