Supposedly, a long time ago, black women were hung there, and slave children were drowned in the creek. When you shut your car off on the bridge or near the church and cemetery, and go to start it again, it makes funny noises. If you turn the engine off while on the bridge it will not start again until you push it off of the bridge onto the gravel. When you sit in the ledge of the bridge, take your shoes off, and dangle your feet above the creek, you can feel a weird tickling feeling on your feet. Myth says it's the slave children drown there tickling your feet. You can see peculiar lights like sets of eyes that blink every now and then, under the bridge, in the trees along the creek, and in the cemetery up on the hill by the creek. Also, if you go out on a dark night, when there has been no running water...in forever, stop your car on the bridge, and roll down your windows, you can hear what sounds like water running in the creek, but also strangely, footsteps in the weeds and leaves. If you stay and hang out for a while, like an hour or more, when you come back to your car, there are what appears to be foot and hand prints on your hood and windshield.
