The Haunted Bridge of Coweta County (part 1)
Back in the day when I was a very young girl my cousins, Judy, Patty, and I loved to go to the Drive-in. We liked the Drive-in that was located in Newnan Georgia much better than the one in LaGrange. We were especially happy when they were showing a double feature.
One Saturday night the Drive-in was having a double feature with Billy Jack as the first movie and a low budget horror movie as the second movie. Billy Jack was a movie that my cousins and I had eagerly waited to see. Since none of us had drivers license we called our friends Bird and Danny to ask if they wanted to go too. They were more than happy to drive us because Bird had a crush on Judy.
We were intent on the movie while they were showing Billy Jack but once the other movie came on we quickly became bored. I went to the concession stand for a hotdog and met a boy named Alan. While talking to Alan he asked if we wanted to go to a haunted bridge in Newnan. I took him back to the car and introduced him to the rest of the gang. We then set off for an adventure in ghost hunting.
On the way Alan told us the legend of the bridge. During the early 50’s a women and her tiny baby drove off the bridge and died. Ever since she supposedly will walk up to cars parked on the bridge looking for her baby. The occupants of the car must pretend to hand a baby out the car to please the woman.
We sat on the bridge for a few minutes until Bird decided it was too dangerous to be blocking the bridge. We thought we heard someone walking on the bridge that night.
Nothing else happened so we took Alan home and headed back to my Uncles house.
