The Story Of New Hampshire’s Most Cursed Covered Bridge Will Chill You To The Bone
New Hampshire is lovely. We all know that. From the summertime beaches to the green mountain peaks, a trip through the state reveals all the things about New England that everybody loves. Beauty, things to do and fun history. But, there are some things to see here that come with a bit of a…strange history. This covered bridge is a great example. Unexplained disasters and multiple restorations make us wonder if there isn’t something spooky at play here. Let us know what you think!
Built in 1829, the Blair Covered Bridge spans the Pemigewasset River in Campton, connecting New Hampshire Route 175, U.S. Route 3 and Interstate 93.
While this stretch of river had no bridge, a horse drowned at the exact spot where it should have stood. When that happened, a replacement was quickly built.
