Thanks, lol. Scary thought isn't it?
I really wish I were closer to the house I grew up in. Everyone in town still thought it was haunted when we moved in and they weren't that far wrong.
It was built about 1890 and a town dentist lived there. Every corner of it is different with one normal corner in back you can't see. On corner with the "round room" tower. One corner was like a "W" with the windows bayed out and one was flat with the corner cut off at a 45 degree angle. The dentist saved the teeth he pulled and glued them on this model of a spanish style adobe, 3 story church like they were stones. It's still there and the storys about that place will make your hair stand up in the noon day sun, let alone at night around Halloween. I lived there from 12 years old until I moved out on my own. The day we moved in it still didn't have electric lights, just the old gas fixtures.
How about your local haunted bridge and the story behind it. What's haunted about it? GOS / usual.

The George Westinghouse Bridge in East Pittsburgh/North Versailles, PA.
"...The George Westinghouse Bridge is nothing short of stunning, but it is considered haunted due to the spirited activity that occurs after dark on the bridge.
Sightings of ghosts and other strange events go hand in hand with this bridge as it is considered one of the most favored bridges for committing suicide and the ease of access is partly to blame.
The open-spandrel arch bridge features five spans and four extreme pylons that make up the majestic memorial to the famous George Westinghouse.
The ghost-riddled bridge was constructed to avoid the heavily congested area known as Turtle Creek over a three year period from 1929 to 1932 and has a 200-foot drop.
Many people have accidentally fallen from the bridge to their deaths as well and vehicle accidents are higher on this bridge then other well traveled Pittsburgh bridges.
A construction worker fell from a beam in early 1931 and reportedly haunts the bridge.
He has been seen walking along and has caused drivers to suddenly brake to avoid hitting him and then he just disappears.
In 1954 two small children were rescued from the arches where they had climbed in order to get a better look below.
Up until 1983 the bridge had one of the highest suicide rates in the county when construction became necessary to make jumping off of the bridge almost impossible.
Location: Route 30, Lincoln Highway, East Pittsburgh, Allegheny County..."

I wished I could have gotten a photo of the grand towers at either end, but the approaches don't allow for anywhere to pull over or park...

Next up, this challenge is going to require TWO photos.
First is a photo of your bike in a really OLD cemetery, w/GOS.
Add a 2nd photo, a close-up of one of the headstones in it, one that's at least 100 years old. ..legible if possible...
(..and no, it won't be necessary to park your bike on the grave for photo #2.
you don't want any ghastly apparitions following you home...

Anna Margaretiu, passed in 1884.
I brought my little buddy along for the photoshoot. When I was prospecting, one of my brothers gave me this to carry. I tried 3 times to prop him up on the seat, and, though DEAD CALM out, he fell on the ground each time.
Next up... goats. Or one goat. They're creepy. They also have a lot of history on the sinister side of things, so how about a fact or two about that connection? Of course, GOS...
