The Jericho Covered Bridge in Kingsville, Maryland, is the subject of several ghost stories and urban legends, with the most common ones involving hanged figures and a small child. The bridge was built in 1865 and crosses the Little Gunpowder Falls, adding to its eerie, historical setting. A persistent legend claims that runaway slaves, Civil War soldiers, or even a forbidden teen couple were hanged from the bridge's rafters. Visitors have reported seeing shadowy, dangling feet or full figures suspended from the ceiling, especially at midnight. However, the historical basis for the slave-hanging story is disputed, as the bridge was constructed after the Civil War. One witness on a ghost tour even reported that a psychic friend experienced a choking sensation and had rope burns appear on his neck while on the bridge. Another story describes the spirit of a little girl who died in a hay wagon fire on the bridge. After falling asleep with a lantern, the hay caught fire, and she perished in the blaze. Her ghost is said to still haunt the location. Some legends mention the ghost of a "burnt woman," though the details of her story are less common. A more subtly spooky sighting is that of a woman in vintage clothing seen walking along or near the bridge. Visitors to the bridge have reported hearing odd sounds like dragging chains and horses' hooves. Some also claim that their cars have mysteriously stopped while on the bridge. A former school bus driver for Kingsville shared on social media that they frequently saw a "shadow looking figure" standing in the middle of the bridge, which would fade as they got closer.
