Emily's Bridge – Stowe.
While Stowe may best be known for its skiing and the Trapp Family Lodge, the town has a spooky claim to fame as well: The covered Gold Brook Bridge, better known as Emily's Bridge. Emily is said to be a brokenhearted woman who haunts the bridge. The legends vary slightly, but they all involve her being jilted by a lover she was going to marry. One story ends with driving a fast-moving carriage off the rocky bank and dying in the brook below. The other and more common story says Emily hung herself by the rafters of the bridge. A history of bizarre occurrences on the bridge has circulated for decades.
Some of the paranormal activities visitors have experienced include scratch marks on cars and feelings of being scratched or grabbed. Sounds resembling footsteps, ropes, and screams have been reported. Apparently, the more hostile manifestations have been aimed at males who cross the bridge. Full-body apparitions have also been reported, with most of the activity occurring in the hours immediately after midnight. Whether or not the story of Emily is the real cause of the bizarre activity at the Gold Brook Bridge, paranormal investigators believe something supernatural occurs there.
