  Investigation Notes:

    

  Initial Thoughts and Comments:
  First Impressions:

  I do not know personally of the history of the Campbell's Covered Bridge except from my own experiences during this investigation. While being in the bridge, I had seen 2 people hung from the rafters with me (Leah) having psychic images. Cathy sensed that there was at least one suicide in the bridge.

  The cameras were having a hard time taking pictures once the sun was going down and the batteries were discharging very quickly. The Spirits that are there was definitely drawing energy from the electronic equipment and myself. I was very drained after leaving the bridge. With my cameras, I never have problems taking pictures in the dark.

  The EMF readings during the whole investigation were recorded at 0.0. There were fluctuations with the Infra-Red Thermometer going up and down as with the digital thermometer, it stayed had a steady reading. We did get pictures of several orbs, and we did see a few orbs fly above our heads with the naked eye. This was very impressive! 

  I do believe that there is something going on with the well that is on the property behind the bridge close to where the home once sat. I (Leah) had received very bad psychic viewings when going near the well and also touching it. I do feel as though something very bad and negative has happened in or around the well. Whether it being residual energy or if something is actually there at the present time.


 About the Pictures:

  Picture 1: This is the very first picture taken of the evening. Greg and Scott were doing base readings while Cathy and I (Leah) were doing EVP recordings and taking digital photographs. I walked to the other end of the bridge and took this first picture. As you can see, there is a VERY BRIGHT orb close to Greg. All together, there are 3 orbs in this picture.

  Picture 2: This picture was taken 20 minutes after picture 1. There wasn't anyone present on this side of the bridge when this picture was taken. This is a picture of a black, short shadow person. I did lighten this picture a bit so you can see it better, other than that this picture hasn't been altered in any way! Pretty cool huh?!!

  Picture 3: Picture 4: Pictures 3 and 4 were taken at the exact same time by myself (Leah) and Cathy. We were standing at a 45
° angle from the bridge about 100 feet away from the bridge. There wasn't anyone present smoking and we were definitely surprised to see that both of us had caught the same thing. This is definitely mist energy that was trying to show itself to us! I certainly wish that it would of! AWESOME!!

  We do have may other pictures of orbs. I'm sure I will be adding more, but these are the four pictures that stand out the most and are the most impressive.


Final Thoughts:

    This investigation was certainly interesting, and I cannot wait to go back! I certainly believe that there is more there than what my evidence has captured. Unfortunately, there is a law at the bridge that you must be gone by dark, and this is strictly enforced by the gentleman who owns the property as he told us so in person! I am looking forward to going back with other investigators to see what they get!

 Historical Information:

 
Campbell's Covered Bridge:

  Built in 1909, the Campbell Covered Bridge remains the only covered bridge in South Carolina. Charles Irwin Willis erected the 38-foot long, 12-foot wide pine structure across the Beaverdam Creek on Pleasant Hill road. Locals believe that the bridge was named for Lafayette Campbell, who at the time that the bridge was built owned 194 acres near the bridge. Records, providing some evidence from the Greenville City and County Directory, show that A.L. Campbell was once the owner of the 194-acre Highland Township. In 1966 major restoration work was completed on the bridge.

  Campbell's Covered Bridge is in the Blue Ridge community of Northern Greenville County, is the only remaining covered bridge in the state of South Carolina. Some web sites say that this location is in Landrum and some say it's in Gowensville, SC. So, for the location, I put both to hopefully help you!


 Hours of Operation:

  Open daily From sun up to sun down. If you are at this location pasted dark, the owner of the property will drive down in his truck to ensure you that you will be on your way promptly!

 Location Information:
