Scary Story (yes its true)

[durval]

Sorry this is a very long story, but it was a crazy expierence for me please read.
Alright well to tell my main story I have to start off with another story thats goes a little somthing like....
About 15 mins from my house there is an old histroical covered bridge, if you don't know what im talking about here is a picture of the covered bridge http://my.net-link.net/~michaelf/images/whitesb.jpg. I live pretty far away from the big, but if you the drive to this bridge is even more quite. Its in the middle of no were no sign of civilization for about 5 minutes in every direction. All it is is a dirt road surronded by forest.
Ok so back to this old bridge. Back in the 1900s (not exactly sure on the year) some guy found out that his wife was cheating on him so he went to the bridge and hung him self. No one really drives on this bridge so no one ntoices it. Well the next day a school bus driver with a bunch of kids is drivin on the bridge, and she sees the guy hanging there and freaks out. Startled she drives the bus off the bridge and she and all the kids parish in the river. Well the bridge is destroyed but a few years later they rebuild the bridge with all its original matterials (you can see where the nuse was)
So back to yesturday....
Me and my buddy are sitting in the bar in town and this guy who is always in the bar tell us this story. We are bored and deciede to go check it out. At this point im pretty drunk, but my friend is sober. After about a 20 min drive on this dirt road we arrive to the bridge and what do you know right were the dude hung him self there is a black cat sitting there. We get out of the car and see somting on the other end of the bridge. Its pitch black out but from what we see it appears to be a human. We get up close and see it is a scarecrow just sitting in the middle of this bridge. My friend deciedes to burn the scarecrow and throw it in the river. After its done burning this woman shows up on walking. (You have to relize this is the middle of no were, pitch black, dead silent and wtf? its desereted.) She says she is stuck in a ditch down the road and needs us to help her get her out. We ask her what the fuck she was doin out here alone and how is it possible to get stuck in a ditch. Its a dirt road and there are no ditches. She tells us I qoute "I was going to this little place and uh I, I need help out of the ditch". Well at this point my buddys gas gauge reads almost empty (he just filled up before we went out there and his gas gauge has no problems). Me not relizing how low on gas he is I start to talk to her to calm her down. Before even saying we will help her though she gets in are car and orders for us to help her. Not knowing how much gas it would take to get back in to town and help her (we think we are on empty) we rufuse and ask her to get ouf of are car. At first she is really pushy and tells us comon its just down the road. She was very rude. Anyways she gets out and starts to head down the road in the other direction. We get in our car and do what we came here to do. We sit on the bridge in the exact spot were the guy hung himself. We turn off the car shut off the lights. Its pitch black, no noises no nothing. All of a sudden it sounds like someone is walking around on the bridge, then pounding on the car doors. Also we could hear like whispers and shit. After like 2 minutes me friends windows all fog up and there are little kids finger prints in the windows. We deciede that this was to much for us so we turn on the car and leave. Right as we get a half mile away from the bridge my buddys gas gauge shoot back up to half tank. Then we go to a gas station under the lights to see the finger prints on the windows. There appeared to be some letters but you could not make out a word. Also a hand streak on the one window. My buddy also took pictures while we were there and you could see orbs floating around in the pictures. (It was not a glare or anything like that). These orbs were in all of the pictures just floating around. We zoomed in on the orbs and it looked as if little crosses were in the orbs. I can honestly say I have never been this afriad in my life.

Anyways hope you liked my story this is 100% true once my friend puts his pictures online ill post them.
P.S. were going back next weekend so ill probably have more stories

EDIT: O yea forgot to tell you before this i didn't believe in paranormal activity, well now i do.

Cool story, but its on the internet so pretty much no one will believe ya.

I was watching this show once, and they told a story like this. A bus full of kids broke down ON a railroad, and couldnt get out of the way before they were hit (they broke down as the train was coming). All of the kids, and the driver died. People went back their, and put flour on their bumpers/back of their cars n shit. Then they stopped on the tracks and killed their engines, with the car in neutral.... as a train was coming. Out of nowhere theyre car starts to move safely across the tracks, still turned off in neutral. When they looked at the bumper, there were handprints in the flower, as if the kids had pushed them to safety.....

First of all how does anyone know that the bus driver saw the guy hanging if everyone in the bus died? Second, the fog was caused by the inside of the car being warmer than the outside because you guys were inside of it. Third, any finger prints made on the windows previously will show up when the windows fog up. Lastely your friends cars fuel censor is messed up, my old car was like that, everyone once in awhile it would say I had no gas then a minute later it would be back up to full. Also I watched a show on why "orbs" appear in photos and some guy from kodak logically explained it but I forgot the details, something about the flash on the camera.

Sounds like you were in the black hills of maryland, where the blair witch was flimed. HA. Ghosts are gay. Post some pics you silly goose.

i'm pretty sure the "orbs" are just dust. but i liked your story anyway, i've never had a paranormal experience

[G-MAN]

the only thing i can see which sounds a bit sketchy is that woman and the way she explained herself

First of all im not really sure how they know if she saw the guy or not, but thats how he told it. Second yes the windows could fog up for that reason, but the timing in which they did? Third my friend just washed his car a few days ago, hes is very precise when he washes his car and the windows were spotless there was no grease from fingerpritns on it before. Frouth my friend has a brand new ford fusion, like 2 months old has not had a fuel sensor problem yet and the timing on which it happened is just a little strange to me.
Yes all these things could of been a conisidence, but the timing was perfect and I think if you were there you would have the same feeling. I've never seen anyhting even close to this.

Oh and about the camera never heard of this but they definitly looked diffrence from any glare ive seen in a camera, and I don't think there could be glare in a pitch black enviroment.

Get me pictures...Soon and i will come to visit this spot with you.

[BONGZILLA420]

Been there, done that. That place is fucking scary I'll post a story later.

[JokerSmoker]

Good read, true or not that bridge has a eerie feeling about it. I don't believe in paranormal activity, but that's only because I have never experienced any. I have friends that do, and they claim they never did either until something happened to them. So until I personally see paranormal activity, I will dismiss it.

[TVK63]

Great story man. Pretty wierd how all those things happened. I just don't get that hole part about the woman. You guys just left her there? lol
