Seems like just about every town has a "cry baby
bridge" or some type of haunted hollar.
However there is a bridge located just off of
prospect road in Tallapoosa County just outside
of Reeltown, Alabama that has some significant
paranormal activity. This location has been
known for it's paranormal activity for many
years. Many locals still talk of the woman who
flung herself off this bridge and killed herself
and unborn infant. A sad story indeed, but our
research on this location tells a slightly different
story then what we had heard from the legend.
Love Ladies Bridge
Tallapoosa County, AL.
The Legend of Love Ladies Bridge
The legend of Love Ladies Bridge has many different variations. The one I think most folks
have heard are that a woman local to Reeltown of the Lovelady family was a known
prostitute and when she feel in love and became pregnant by a married man she was
rejected by him and in her sadness, jumped to her death from the bridge located on
lovelady and prospect road.
Paranormal Activity at Lovelady's Bridge
The legend grew to call the location
"Lovelady's Bridge" based on the road's
name and the story associated with the
woman. However the different details in
the story vary from person to person.
Leading my researchers to believe that in
part most of the story is true but not all of
the story. Most of the story's point to the
fact that a woman not necessarily of the
Lovelady Family did indeed die on this
bridge with a child more then likely in a
car wreck then a suicide. Still a very sad
story.
Our team has experienced many strange and unusual anomalies at Lovelady's bridge. In
particular battery failure. On almost every occasion our team has investigated the bridge
most if not all of our equipment will fail in some way while on the actual bridge. Once our
team leaves the bridge all equipment seems to go back to working order. We have
photographed strange lights and heard strange sounds on the bridge as well. Being that
the location is on a working county road makes it hard to do a very thorough investigation.
However our team has some plans to get back to the bridge very soon and find some hard
evidence of paranormal activity to back up our personal experiences.
