Burnt Bridge, south of Hattiesburg in Per Covington, Mississippi, is allegedly haunted by the spirit of a headless woman who appears to drivers and may be heard screaming for her child. The legend originates from a tragic car accident decades ago where a young woman was decapitated, though other stories also mention a distraught mother who jumped from the bridge with her baby. Visitors have reported paranormal phenomena, such as handprints on car windows and a "demonic glow". The bridge is haunted by the ghost of a headless woman. While one story claims she was a victim of a fatal car accident, a different legend tells of a local farm girl who tossed herself and her newborn into the river in 1954. Haunting activity: The headless woman appears to people passing by. Some claim to hear a man screaming "Maya!" at sunset, which may be a reference to the legend of the distraught mother, according to a Facebook post. Passersby have reported finding handprints on their car windows after visiting the bridge. Some accounts describe a "demonic glow" near the bridge. The old bridge has been replaced, and it is now off-limits to visitors. You can still see it from the road as you drive by.
