For many years, some say as many as 150, horses and cars have been mysteriously clawed. A woman's voice has been heard, and strange lights seen at Emily's Bridge. Many pictures taken of the area have shown whispy streaks or "orbs".
There are a variety of legends about Emily ranging from a jilted lover who hung herself from the bridge 150 years ago to a woman who claims she invented the ghost story in the 1970's to scare her own children.
Emily's Bridge looks quite serene in the daylight, but at night the covered bridge takes on a dark and spooky appearance. It takes a certain bravery to enter alone after dark; and with the loud rushing of water clouding your sense of hearing, and the pitch blackness of nightime in the country, the mind easily recalls every chilling story associated with the bridge.
On a side note, it has been noted that there are many fireflies in the area, which could account for the mysterious lights that appear.
Emilys Bridge, or "The Gold Brook Bridge" by it's official name.
