It's rumored to be haunted by the spirit of a CSA soldier named "Old Nick" who was hanged on the bridge during the Civil War. Visitors have reported hearing disembodied whispers, seeing strange lights, and feeling a cold presence. According to the legend, a Confederate soldier was executed by hanging from the bridge's beams for being a spy. His spirit, known as "Old Nick," is said to haunt the area. People have reported hearing whispers and voices, especially when walking on the bridge at night. Some claim to have seen shadowy figures or heard unexplained sounds like a rope tightening or a figure choking.

The original bridge was dismantled in the early 2000s, but the new, replicated bridge has also been the site of reported paranormal activity.
