Edna Collins Bridge
When October rolls around, students flock to this supposedly haunted covered bridge. The story goes that young Edna Collins would swim below the bridge until her parents came to get her. They would stop and honk three times to get her attention. One day, the honk didn’t work. Edna Collins had drowned. Rumor has it that if you drive on to the bridge, turn off the motor and honk three times, her ghost will try to get into your car. If you’re lucky, she’ll leave a handprint on your window. Be sure to leave a seat open for her.
