Legend says that over a century ago, a young pregnant woman named Maggie was traveling in a horse-drawn carriage. The horse spooked and the carriage flipped, causing Maggie to lose her head. Poor Maggie still haunts the spot where she lost her baby and lost her life, trying to find peace. If you drive onto the bridge at night and shout for Maggie, you'll often hear the sounds of a desperate woman, sobbing and screaming for her lost child.
