Here's the bridge that kriste and I took..
This is the top of the bridge..This is how the story goes..
When the Zealandia Castle caught fire in the late 1900's, a woman named Helen lost her only child, a daughter, in the fire. Helen was so upset by the loss that she hung herself from the bridge right down the road from the castle.. That's how Helen's Bridge got started.. It's located on Beaucatcher Mountain. There has been much paranormal activity associated with the bridge, apparitions, orbs, etc. Helen is supposed to wander the mountain in a long gown, asking those she meets if they have seen her daughter.

Sad, but cool history. Where do you find this stuff! Very interesting.
Did you stay there late to see if there was any paranormal activity?
What a beautiful bridge! I'll have to go take a look.
And I've always loved the name Beaucatcher Mtn. Would love to know the history behind that name, too.
