- Did you know there’s also another haunted bridge in Georgia? Yep, Devil’s Bridge in Cochran was once a hotbed of satanic activity. Visitors today, at least those with enough courage, tell of parking their car on the bridge at night (make sure there’s no traffic around!), turning off the engine, and placing their keys on the roof of the vehicle. Wait for a minute or two, and you might see the headlights of a car racing toward you at breakneck speed. Just as you’re about to jump out of the way, it disappears.
- Tunnel Hill is also said to be teeming with otherworldly spirits, but what you encounter might turn your stomach. The tunnel once served as the battleground during the Civil War, and some of the spirits of the Confederate soldiers are said to remain to this day. If you visit after dark, you might see some of those soldiers lingering in the tunnel, or you may witness their decomposing remains. But, what’s really eerie, is the smell – some tell of smelling rotting flesh. You probably want to have a strong stomach if you visit.
