In my personal opinion the location is not evil. However I have been on a few different investigations at the bridge and have not been swayed to discount or validate claims of the site being haunted. As a boy I have hunted and fished up and down the river and agree it is beautiful. There is so much to see if one explores a bit. The one point I disagree with is the actions of the natives during the raid and journey to Canada. Many different sources of the incidents concerning the events of the raid are very clear-the actions of the raiders were, shall we say a bit barbaric even by the standards of the day. Let us be a bit honest on this point. Taking young children-instead of leaving them behind-then slaughtering them because they can not keep up is a bit monstrous. Out of so many conflicts I have read concerning Native Americans (or Native Canadians) this one is, upsetting. Emily, thank you for stopping in. In my personal opinion the location is not evil.

And how bad the natives are made to look. This is a really a peaceful and beautiful place. Just follow the river upstream from the bridge on the side as the monument/stone. There is a Quartz ridge not far up that is just amazing. Sit on it, the energy just radiates. I have done a lot of meditating there. I advise people to understand that this is not a creepy or haunted place unless you make it one in your mind. I grew up here and it is far from haunted. And yes I have been there at night many times, no spooks. I’m a little disturbed by how evil this place has been made out to be. And how bad the natives are made to look.

I have taken pictures over the past few years of this same place . I have taken a picture of the covered bridge a few times in the last few years but this year was different and what seems to be an orb in it?...with what looks like an eye inside the orb.
