Emily's Bridge: Stowe, Vermont

May 5th, 2007 12:30 A.M.

The legendary Golden Brook Bridge, or "Emily's Bridge" as it has been named for it's local ghost.

With the allure of catching a malevolent entity East Side Paranormal decided to investigate the famous covered bridge, and this is what we found...

During the investigation we welcomed two new members, pictured here is Kathy Connolly.First of all, for all of you who don't know the legend of "Emily's Bridge" we'll take a second to get you acquainted with it.From www.vtonly.com"The best known tale is that Emily was a young Stowe woman who fell for a man who didn't pass muster with her family. Forbidden to marry, the love-struck couple decided to elope. They planned to meet on the bridge at night. The appointed hour came and went, but the young man never showed up. Shattered, Emily hanged herself from a rafter. And her desperate, angry ghost has haunted the bridge ever since, waiting for her lover to return."

We had arrived at the bridge with a great sense of skepticism. Having heard from Joe Citro himeslf (Joe Citro is a famous Vermont author, and expert in Vermont folklore) That he could find no evidence of an "Emily" who died on the bridge, or any other trace of her for that matter. The whole time we were there we didn't feel anything, and got no response in any of our equipment. Nothing in our photos, or evp sweeps. Giving us the final impression that the legend is exactly that... a legend.
