In 1922, the bridge collapsed with two people on it. It was rebuilt, but the legend of the bridge began to spread. Was it haunted?
The woman was distraught after finding out her true love had died in battle, and she thought it fitting to join him in death.
Those who visit report hearing screams and sobs emerging from the abyss beneath their feet. As if an 80 foot high swinging bridge wasn't scary enough, of course it's haunted, too.
The Swinging Bridge is located near the intersection of 2nd Street and IA-92, Columbus Junction, IA 52738. Visit if you dare - but be careful, it's only for those who can stomach the suspense.
