Spring Ranch Bridge
Yesterday, I finally stopped by and photo'd this "Bridge" over the Little Blue River in Nebraska.
I have photo'd some old bridges, and all were tossed away because I did not like what I see, but here I decided to keep ... even I still don't like it.
Here's the story I discovered a year ago, or two ... what fascinating about this bridge is that some people called it "Haunted Bridge" because in 1885 Spring Ranch residents Elizabeth Taylor and her brother Thomas Jones were accused of barn burning and murder a trespasser on her property. Before they could be tried, on March 15, they were beaten, dragged from their home, and hanged from the local bridge.
The bridge itself has been replaced since then, it stands in the same place as the original. Believers say that the spirits of Elizabeth and Tom can be heard in the night, screaming and begging for their lives.
