We went to dogface last night.
It didn't want to come out in the open...but we heard lots of noise in the woods (stuff that sounded like howling and voices).
Then again we didn't go very far into the woods (one girl who was with us doesn't like bridges in general so the fact that she even walked to the gap was amazing).
The bridge has all kinds of trees and plants all over it. I'm going to even venture to say that there is part of a tree that has fallen onto the bridge.
It's kinda creepier now with all the over growth and what not. It makes the bridge seem more narrow so you feel like you're going to go over the side.
It seems like the gap has gotten a little bigger though. And there are less beams to walk across.

Sounds kinda like what happened to my friend and I at Dan's Run a couple days ago.
Yeah the witches castle is like that right now as well. Makes trying to enter and manuever around very difficult, but in some locations more activity is supposed to happen in the summer so I guess it could be worth it. I heard Okie Pinoke is like that, but I'm guessing that's because more people are out there camping, fishing and that sort of thing so the possiblity of seeing or hearing something is greater.
You guys ever take a camera with you whenever you head out there?

Hahaha....it was kind of an unplanned trip so I did not have the digital ready to go (I need new batteries in the thing).
But I do believe I will be going here again possibly within the next couple of weeks and I will be ready with the camera and the recorder.

Indiana law code 47.57 article 3C states that: Any area wishing to claim a crybaby bridge must have at least 1. A shoe tree or 2. a gravity hill or 3. Railroad tracks where a busload of children were killed.

Hahahaha! ;D
I was going to say we don't have any of that around here....but then I forgot about the gravity hill in Westville.
It worked once....and only once. Ever since then I could never get it to work again.
And yes. I have one picture from dogface bridge. I took it during the day about 4 or 5 months ago. It's just of the first bridge as you pull up to it.

Yeah I wonder how many bridges there are that have actually had a lady and/or a baby being thrown off them as compared to how many stories that have circulated around. It seems like just about everyone in Indiana has some kind of haunted bridge within 30 minutes of them.

And haunted roads. It seems as though every town has to have some sort of haunted road.
We have atleast 3 that I can think of and I know for a FACT that one of them is not haunted what so ever because I lived right off of this road (It's the story about the Old Porter Road in Portage). It is creepy at night by the creek that runs past this road and in the woods, but other then that there are no beasts that chase the trains. I were to think that I would have seen something out there in the 10 years that I lived there. I can't tell you how many times I walked the tracks late at night with my friends.

I think the only haunted road I know of around here is Tunnel Mill Rd, but that's because the hautned Boy Scout Camp, Ten Penny Bridge and The Red House are all on it. Maybe Moutain Grove/Cemetery Rd since Dan's Run and Mt. Zion are on it, less than a quarter of a mile away from eachother, I've witnessed some activity between the two locations.

Yeah I've checked out all of those sites before, I beileve The Force's Southern Indiana Chapter was the first one I ever stumbled upon that really got me interested in going out and seeing some of these places for myself. The Southern Indiana Ghost Hunters don't really seem to be all that active, and from their past investigations it looks like they do most of their stuff out of state. I've thought about going to one of the LGHS meetings, but they haven't had one since May, so I'll try to make the next one. I'll check out their forum as well.

What is the story behind the Haunted Boy Scout Camp? I've never heard of that one.

Oh, wait. Yes I do...the Boehne camp. I have my moments. Bad thing is...this was one of the good ones.

I think you're thinking of the TB Hospital in Evansville, also known as the Boehne camp. I'm pretty sure the Boy Scout on Tunnel Mill Rd is just called Tunnel Mill Boy Scout Camp. I can't remember the exact story behind it, in my high school broadcasting class someone did a newstory about it, but all I can remember is that it has something to do with an native american and people have seen his apparition and heard voices around the camp at night. Of course it could just be some story that has been passed down to tell the kids at the camp as one of the those traditional campfire ghost stories.
