Do you believe in spooks and ghosts? If you do, this haunted covered bridge in Vermont is just begging for a visit. The legend behind the spirit that supposedly lingers here is full of tragedy. The experiences of people who have visited the bridge are downright frightening. Let's take a closer look at one of Vermont's most eerie places.

Strange happenings have been swirling around Gold Brook Bridge since 1968. The covered bridge has taken on the name "Emily's Bridge" due to some pretty disturbing paranormal activity involving a spirit named Emily that occurs around this location.

Emily's Bridge crosses Gold Brook in Stowe, Vermont. The water crossing was built in 1844 and has a length of 49 feet.

The first mention of a haunting around the bridge came to light in 1968. A high school student was using a Ouija board on the bridge and claimed that a spirit named Emily presented herself. Others have since claimed similar experiences.

There are a few stories of how Emily may have died and as such, this became a haunted bridge in Vermont. The first legend has her waiting at this spot for an elopement with a lover. While she yearned for his arrival, he did not show, and reportedly the devastated bride-to-be hung herself from the rafters above.

Another tale has Emily arriving at a church to marry her beloved, however, the groom was a no-show. The jilted bride was so distraught that she jumped into the family wagon and drove off. Blinded by sorrow, she took the team of horses to an incredible speed. When trying to navigate the turn before the bridge, the horses, wagon, and Emily crashed over the bank and into the rocky brook with no survivors.

There is no historical evidence that Emily ever existed, yet the tales would lay the foundation for the reported hauntings at this spot.

Many visitors to the bridge have claimed to have witnessed paranormal activity. Strange noises such as footsteps, banging, ropes tightening, and screaming of a girl have been heard. Photos taken have displayed unexplained floating orbs.

Others have reported seeing a white spirit-like apparition near the bridge. Some visitors have claimed that scratch marks appear on their vehicles or even on their own skin while visiting this cursed place.

Most of the strange activity seems to take place between midnight and 3:30 a.m. You'll have to be a night owl to visit with this ghost.
