The Haunt at the Paper Mill Bridge
I would like to start with a little handed down history of this place. The town of Roaring Spring has had tales of "witch craft" and the occasional haunting for years told by residents. One tale tells of a witch coven that used to meet in the woods off the railroad tracks leading out-of-town. Another tells of a "Devil worshiping pastor" that killed a young woman and buried her body in the yard outside his home near the paper mill. The most well-known story is that of the old paper mill bridge that lies under the railroad tracks and is near the site where the young women was supposedly buried.
The legend of this place states a ghost of a man can be seen hanging from the bridge or tress surrounding the area. Another tale tells of a young couple being hit by a train and now they walk eternity together over the bridge. Curious readers beware that the ghosts have also been said to hit and strike at anyone who dares to get to close.
I could not find any hard evidence for theses claims. However, real or not, every town deserves to have it's mysteries or urban legends.
What year did this happen?
