[glow=red,2,300]Danville Indiana Haunted Bridge[/glow]
Danville, Indiana
The Danville Bridge in Danville, Indiana is reportedly haunted by the ghost of an Irish worker. In the 1850s Irish immigrants were hired as cheap labor to build a bridge across White Lick Creek. While pouring a pylon to support the bridge, a wooden platform collapsed and the Irish worker was thrown into the wet cement. As he sank deeper into the concrete the other workers could hear him screaming and pounding on the wooden sides of the frame. He sank so quickly that there was no time for anyone to save him from his ultimate demise. Since that fateful day, people that are near the bridge at night claim to have heard the loud piercing screams that were heard the day of the accident. It has also been reported that a pounding sound can be heard from the same pylon the Irish worker fell into. Many years later the trestle was torn down and now a swinging bridge crosses White Lick Creek. The remnants of the old bridge are still there to see. Since the removal many people report seeing the apparition of the Irish worker haunting the area.
