As many of you know, Captain Crash is practically the leading authority on all things haunted in the Pittsburgh region. Ghost hunts are his bread and butter; and while his lengthy ghost stories are renowned, some are pretty simple. The tale of Bells Mills Bridge is one of latter.
As Crash originally wrote:
"Ternous and I were bored as shit one night and, knowing his apartment was relatively close by, I said hey let's go look for Bells Mills. What's at Bells Mills you ask? Not much. The only remaining covered bridge in Westmoreland County and one of but a fraction in the state still in use. Oh and its supposedly haunted. As the local folklore tells, the ghost of the original contractor of the bridge watches over the bridge and follows everyone across it to ensure their safe passage. Not knowing where exactly the bridge was located, I navigated Ternous and his spifftastic little Neon in circles on random backroads until we finally found it. The pics are few and self-explanatory (not to mention of poor quality,) so no further commentary is needed."
Analysis:
Though there appears to the occurrence of 'orbs' in the latter two pictures, it is unlikely that these constitute the phenomenon in a paranormal sense. These appear to simply be anomalies
upon the lens. Couple this with a lack of any sensation or physical anomalies reported by either Crash or Ternous, and it is conclusive that this site provided no paranormal activity, at least during the 'Team Crash' investigation. The possibility of this bridge being haunted is further exacerbated by Crash's inability to locate any historical information to confirm the story that would provide the alleged ghost, which my research also confirmed.
Conclusion:
Not Haunted
Closing, as originally written by Crash:
"Probably the least creepy of all ghost hunts I've embarked upon, with not even so much as a strange noise or funny feeling the whole time. Just darkness, and lots of it. But alas, what can the Captain expect from just a short jaunt taken at complete random rather than my usual well-planned adventures. My absolute fascination with bridges forced me to post this one up though."
