Amanda's Ghost Story
I was about 16 years old and always drove my friends around town and places
they needed to be. One night they wanted to goof around and go out to an old
stone bridge and do some drinking. (I was not drinking as I was the designated
driver).
A few years before this happened there was a car wreck at this particular
bridge. (At the present time they removed the bridge to straighten the road so it
would be less dangerous to drive) A man, woman, and child were killed by
hitting the side of the bridge. He died instantly, she was thrown through the
windshield with her child, and the child drowned. It is rumored that she killed
herself after losing her husband and son.
Well the night that my friends and I were out there we could here laughter, there
was no one there but 4 of us. We were all completely silent. Still hearing
laughter like that of a child, then something that sounded like a gunshot. We
immediately left.
A few days later I decided to go out to the bridge taking one of my friends with
me to sit in the car, just in case something bad happened. I walked out onto the
bridge, stood there for a minute. I heard the laughter, and a woman’s voice, I
couldn’t tell what she said. Immediately after I heard her voice, I heard a shot.
My friend all the while watching from the car.
Immediately after the shot I felt hands on my back and side, they clawed my
sides, legs and arms. Pushed me off the bridge and into the water, I was
screaming for my friend to help but he couldn’t get out of the car. He said it
was as if someone was holding the doors shut. When he finally managed to
make it out of the car and get to me, I was being held under water, I was going
to drown if he wasn’t able to help me. I don’t know what it was that did this, but I
could not get away from it. It was the scariest time of my life, and I have not
gotten out of my car at that spot ever since.
