The Ghost of Matthews Town Bridge
There is a covered bridge located in a small Indiana town called
Matthews. The legend surrounding this bridge is that a man hung himself
from one of the rafters. If you drive onto the bridge, turn your
headlights off and wait, you can see his feet swing down and begin to
jerk, as if he were in the final stages of this painful death. We drove
onto the bridge, headlights out and waited. Nothing. We drove the length
of the bridge and turned around in someone's driveway. On our way back
through the bridge, I turned to speak to my friend sitting in the back of
the car, that's when we, the driver and myself, saw it. A pair of legs
were hanging down from the back rafters!! Needless to say, we gunned it
out of there. We have gone back several times and experienced
different phenomena, dimming headlights and streetlights. We even WALKED
this bridge and saw the legs, not to mention heard footsteps behind us in
the pitch blackness. Upon consulting with other "ghost hunters" I have
discovered that others have experienced the same thing, however, no one
else has gotten out and walked the length of the bridge like we did.
