The Crumlin Bridge Scream
Crumlin Bridge, a once vital crossing point, now stands as a relic of the past. It's said that a lone woman, walking across this bridge one evening, was startled by a voice echoing up the river. The voice, full of despair, repeated 'Oh God, what shall I do?' The woman, understandably, was struck with terror and fled the scene, fainting once she reached home. The bridge may no longer stand, but the haunting memory of that voice lives on.
Unfortunately, the exact date of this haunting is unknown, but it's likely to be pre-nineteenth century. The fact that the bridge is no longer standing suggests that it may have been demolished or replaced at some point. Despite the lack of information, the haunting has left a lasting impression on local folklore. The voice on the bridge is a classic example of a disembodied sound, a type of paranormal activity that can be particularly unsettling.
The bridge was likely an important crossing point in the past.
