Jim, I saw something for sure, I'm not joking about that.....

Here is a guy making fun of "Satan's Bridge" near me...

It's pretty cool, but the old bridge is gone. It got it's name because people dumped all their dead animals there.

This is near one of the many plantations, numerous good ghost stories.

Don't get me wrong, I believe you to be truthful but looking at the course this thread is taking, perhaps it is par for the course as far as GT goes.

I can't honestly say I've had a similar experience but if I had I doubt I'd be posting it here

I don't have an issue with people walking around with guns on their property, or even looking to find ghosts. But I do have an issue with gun owners drawing their guns on people walking away who clearly aren't a threat. That's the only quell I have with Armistead, everything else is ok in my book.

Bon Appetite

Maybe it is as Betonov said some kind of Fata Morgana, in this case fog.

A few pics, as you can see no where to hide under as it is suspended on cables. Probably doesn't show but they're are ladder rungs going down each support beam, but don't see how that would work or how he could do it.







Hopefully I'll catch him or it tonight on camera.....Gonna wait until late to walk when the moon is high and bright. I don't believe in ghost stories, but I'm told to stand in the middle and say "Old Black John" 3 times at midnight under a full moon and he probably will make himself known...

I paid a visit to Mami, she's a slave from the actual Hairston plantation and a magic or voodoo lady that sells crap at her palm reading house. She gave me some potion, put some leaves in it, whiskey, garlic for sure, some other crap, says it will protect me and for me to leave it as a gift.

We'll see how it goes later tonight.

Kidding aside, I was totally honest in the OP. This has me head a spinning since last night....

I guess I joke so much that no one will take me serious, but what happened last night was no joke, just don't know what to think...

Hmm. Why not do some research on the history of the bridge and see if any of the stories about it like the hanging of the Confederates are true?

OK,

I decided I would go check my cam and take the potion and leave on the bridge that Mami gave me... It's really freaky out tonight, hard fog mist, full moon. Not sure I will go back at midnight and call for Old Black John....

Anyway, my hunter auto camera a lil old, but I got a few hits, but I can't make it out. I had flash off, but use a setting that should pick up well in moon light, but didn't work so well.

I got this pic, but I can't really see anything. I almost see a shape or something, but hard to tell, almost like an outline with a arm reaching, like a white shirt pulled up to the elbow....but could be seeing things.



I tried to enhance it, hard to tell, what do you guys think, nothing here. It's not me and no one knows camera is there, well hid.



Then I got this, numerous pictures of blobs, not sure what happened to camera here.



Strange something set camera off, but don't really see anything.....?

edit,

Nothing but white blobs. Tested cam and can't get it to do the same with any setting. Anyway, I did notice in this one I thnk I see the bridge end post in background.


Enhanced it and sure that's the post, nothing else I can tell but white blobs.
