The "Train Bridge Over Kiowa Creek" in Bennett, Colorado, known as the Third Bridge or Ghost Bridge, is haunted by reports of distant Native American drumming, a ghostly rider, shadowy figures, and apparitions, possibly linked to a Native American massacre in the 1860s or more recent tragic events, like the unsolved 2010 murder of a man found nearby and fatal accidents involving visitors. Some believe a specific spirit is the victim of a more recent unsolved murder case involving the disappearance and murder of a girl named Ashley DeHerrera. Visitors report hearing the sounds of drums echoing across the prairie, which some believe are the spirits of Native Americans seeking revenge for past injustices. A spectral figure on horseback is said to patrol the area, sometimes heard with a horse moving across the bridge. Dark, shadowy figures have been seen moving near or on the bridge. Some visitors have reported seeing apparitions, including the ghost of a young girl who cries before vanishing. Eerie screams have also been reported at the site. One of the most prevalent theories ties the hauntings to a massacre of Native Americans that occurred in the area in the 1860s. The 2010 murder of a man near the bridge remains unsolved, contributing to the site's dark reputation. Some legends suggest the bridge is haunted by spirits from a fatal car accident involving local high school students, according to Colorado Haunted Houses. Some believe the spirit of Ashley DeHerrera, a victim of an unsolved murder case, remains at the site.
