Spook Bridge
Description
The bridge has a reputation for being a "hangout" for Satanists (or teenagers who like to let others think that they are Satan worshipers for cheap thrills) and is said to be haunted due to its isolated and "jungle-like" location.

The bridge is very pretty. After spending a couple hours on the bridge,it was clear that there was no danger if you were on foot. It is a great place to visit and explore.
