Do you know anything about the graveyard.. like steps away.. if you go down I would imagine 125 W on 700 there's a graveyard. I think I might go check it out to see if anything's going on there.. I mean Troll Bridge and Dewey house.. there might be some activity there..

I'm guessing that's a different Troll Bridge then the one near Little Egypt. The one where if you honk your horn and a troll hand will steal your keys?

guess so. I've never heard of it untill I looked at Scott's map. But if there's that much activity in the area.. I think the cemetery would be worth the visit

Yep, thought this was the story.
Haunted Bridge - as you head to Duey's Road from town, you cross a small bridge, that bridge is called Trolls Bridge. If you stop on it honk your horn, and sit your keys on your hood, a troll will come out and steal them. All you see is a Caucasian hand covered in warts appear, you see nothing else.
I'd say the cemetery is worth checking out if you're in the area. Sometimes a whole area like that will have activity, like Dogtown in Evansville or the hill by Dan's Run with the cemetery at the top.

I remember visiting Deweys house when I was in 9th grade when I went to visit family. I used to live in Chesterton. I ended up moving back to Valpo/Chesterton area when I was 19, back in 2001. I dated a gay that did a huge report on the story behind this legend. He had confirmed reports from people that knew the family and from police officers that we're there that night. Most the records have been destroyed now. So alot of people think its all complete bs. But I will tell you. Its real. Behind the house, up the hill, through the trees, is the groundskeeper who also used to be the housekeeper for the family. She is still alive and has rottwielers that guard the premisis.

I hope to still be riding a motorbike well past my 70's dude, that's not really old if you take care of yourself.

yeah, iv been there 3 times with my friends. the first time i went there i just looked, the 2nd time i actually jumped the fence and went part way but my friends sister started balling her eys out so we left. the 3rd time we jumped the fence and went in all the way to the place that has all of the garbage in it. but then we turned around because my friend was freaked out so we started back and then i remembered that we hadn't gone down the main path.(there is two path you know one goes left and one goes straight) so she was getting scared "it will be OK" i said. so we went half way down the path (we could see the clearing) and then somthing ran writ in front of us so fast i couldn't see it. seh thought it was a dear but it was really bu]ig and Grey.

If you look at this property from the air, as with Google Earth, there appear to be structures like smoke stacks. Was there anything on this property other than an old farmhouse? Is it grain storage with collapsed roofs?

Definitely does appear to be 2 structures closer to the road and a third structure secluded into the woods

i was totally excited to go here...we just got back from old man deweys house..all i can say is i was totally freaked the hell out...as were coming up to the place the hairs on the backs of my neck stood up and i got goosebumps alll over...we went there in the daylight and took pictures and then again at night time...we looked at our pictures on the computer and clear as day most of our pictures show up with a face in them and orbs in the pics...this is creepy as hell...but the face is clear as day..then one of our vehicles went hay wire, the oil pressure gage started slapping from side to side all the way down from 0 to all the way, then gas light came on and we had over half tank in the car, and the lights starting dimming.....then the other vehicle shut up on us 2 times and the key was still in the start position....then we get ready to leave and our heat was on full blast and before we went there it completely shut off due to it being hott outside....this is defiantly one place that creeped me out...we didnt go onto the property to get a close look but defiantly something we wanna do....so i totally believe this story and i have proof its real...

I went there about ten years ago with some friends, the house in the back is was occupied then, there where live dogs, they came barking at us has soon has we where over the fence, me and another buddy dove back over the fence, but my one buddy was nuts and just petted the dogs and they where friendly afterward. Anyway the house to the left wasn't demolished then. We opened the door, and went inside a little bit. it was abandoned, there was a weird necklace with different astrology signs on it, it was pretty creepy. we pussed out and didn't go in, it was creepy has hell, opening that door it looked really old inside what we couldsee, the rest was pitch black. look really creepy
