Overtoun Bridge

Merry meet all,

Ever hear of the Overtoun Bridge? It’s famous, known as Death Bridge. I dare any of you to cross it and comment below your account of crossing such a scary bridge. 

Here’s the story: “

About a half-hour’s drive north of the Scottish city of Glasgow there’s a 19th century castle called Overtoun House.

In the 160 years it’s been around, the estate has served as a movie set, a maternity hospital and a place of recovery for Allied soldiers during WWII.

It’s been named death bridge with over 50 dogs taking to the edge of the bridge to commit suicide. Owner report that their dogs go into a trance state and start behaving as if something has possessed them. In later year a logical explanation was given, that minx surrounds the site which dogs are extremely attracted too but it doesn’t explain why do all the deaths occur between the same two parapets on the right side of the bridge? How come dogs don’t seem to jump off other bridges in Scotland — or anywhere else — that are near mink nests?

In 1994, a local Kevin Moy, threw his baby son off the bridge and later tried throwing himself off it has been reported. David Barret message after my very short two lives here due to signal and battery drainage – to tell me a women haunts near the bridge, this would correspond with the responses i got towards the end of the live …

I had a look a bit further into who this lady could be and she is rumored to be lady Overtoun and is known as the white lady of Overtoun. The story goes that this lady was a animal lover and she would often wander across the bridge with her dog. One day a figure lured this lady and her dog over the bridge to the edge and she and her dog leaped the bridge, over a 60ft drop resulting in both their deaths.

The house itself is also rumored to be haunted by Lady Overtoun, even though in a interview the current owners don’t feel it is. They stated that the white lady haunting first came about after a prank two locals did to passerby’s of the bridge. They set up cable tie and pulled a white sheet across the bridge. However, they do feel angels come to visit the house and have even named one of the rooms ‘The Angel Room’ which displays paintings on the ceiling.”

Wow there’s a scary story. Warning: Don’t walk your dogs there, folks. I can’t explain the reasons for the unfortunate suicides. A bad energy must linger. It gives me the chills. I would be shocked it if wasn’t haunted. On to local news…

Spirit of Halloween just opened very close to where I live. I am so excited! I already planned what I want to buy. I loved their witchy merchandise. 

The leaves are turning already. Fall has arrived early. Soon we may spy pumpkins perched on decks and verandas. I would love to hear about your awesome garden harvests!!!

Stay spooky!
